Nothing but bullies with chips on their shoulders, trying to portray themselves as “victims”, and a penchant for aggressively trying to ruin other peoples’ lives that refuse to go along with their delusions.

Let’s Talk Gunstock and Accountability
by Op-Ed
In light of what seems to be a disconnect about what is happening with Gunstock, let’s try for some fact-based clarity. 1. We can all agree that Gunstock is a county-owned asset. 2. We can all agree that Gunstock our beloved, county-owned asset is a benefit to all the communities of Belknap County. 3. One … Read more
Our Board of Aldermen Have Become the Mayor’s Posse
Mayor Donchess is chartered to select the Corporation Counsel for the City (The City Lawyers) to serve at his pleasure but this should not prevent Aldermen from weighing in on the ethics and fiscal abuses occurring in the legal office.
Why Does the Left Support AntiSemitism? Isn’t the Left Supposed To Be Anti-Bully?
by Steve Earle
It perplexes me why the liberal Left tends to support Islamic causes while demeaning Christian and Jewish religions. It can’t be based on any moral/ethical grounds. If anything, Islam is far more stringent and less tolerant on every key liberal issue.
We are being strong-armed into believing something that really isn’t reality

“But the people who oppose my existence still want to think of me as male…” – Nobody is denying your existence. Much more on that in another post, because it’s clear you are a loud-mouthed bully. And that gives rise to other thoughts of what else might be wrong upstairs.
Notable Quote – Professor Thomas Sowell
by Skip
Everyone hated the idea of being a slave but few had any qualms about enslaving others. Slavery was just not an issue, not even among intellectuals, much less among political leaders, until the 18th century – and then it was an issue only in Western civilization. Among those who turned against slavery in the 18th … Read more
Bullies: Teach Your Kids How to Deal With Bullies Because the Schools Will Not
by Rick Olson
School Anti-Bullying Programs do not work. In many cases, it appears as incidences of bullying have increased. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Criminology suggests that the anti-bullying programs, now popular in many schools may not be useful. Seven thousand kids at 195 different schools were examined and the authors found that schools with anti-bullying programs were more likely to experience bullying than children who attended schools without such programs.

Take It Back or Burn It Down?
The current New Hampshire Republican Party has devolved away from being any kind of bulwark against creeping progressivism and the ardent promotion of candidates who will man the bulwark or (God help us) take us into battle, to little more than an exclusive group for hand-picked political insiders, partying away in the captain’s quarters of our anchored and sinking fleet.
First New Yorkers, and now those in Connecticut
by Skip
Well, it looks like the Esteemed Leaders in Connecticut have decided that they can no longer trust law-abiding citizens with what are standard capacity magazines for modern sporting rifles (AR-15s):
Connecticut lawmakers announced a deal Monday on what they called some of the toughest gun laws in the country that were proposed after the December mass shooting in the state, including a ban on new high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the massacre that left 20 children and six educators dead.
The proposal also called for background checks for private gun sales and a new registry for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets, something of a compromise for parents of Newtown victims who had wanted an outright ban on them, while legislators had proposed grandfathering them into the law.
The package also creates what lawmakers said is the nation’s first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales and expansion of Connecticut’s assault weapons ban.
Really, and how many gun owners are going to come in to register their magazines? How is law enforcement supposed to know how many mags someone really has? Are you, Connecticut politicians, going to be like that Politician in Washington State that would have a Sheriff come and inspect gun owners’ homes unannounced and without warrants to ensure compliance with this infringement (“er, just here to see if you are storing your guns safely – because we don’t trust you to do it right”)?

Immigrant Do-gooders want others to care for those they bring – yeah, that’s responsible

From the Union Leader:
Ready or not, the refugees are coming
The state’s refugee resettlement program is expected to spread from Manchester to Nashua in the coming weeks, with 50 refugees headed toward the Gate City. Officials in both cities are expressing concern over the plans.
“I was talking about my concerns with the head of the International Institute, and the next communication I have from them is to say that they (the refugees) are coming, and we’ve found housing for them,” said Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau. “I asked, ‘Where? When? Who’s coming? Are there any children?’ No one has any answers. The concerns I raised were real ones, and I feel like they weren’t addressed at all.”
The International Institute of New Hampshire (IINH) has been working for months to resettle another 200 refugees in Manchester, despite a sometimes frosty relationship with city officials. Mayor Ted Gatsas wrote a letter in 2011 to the U.S. State Department, which oversees the refugee program, faulting its “complete and utter lack of consideration for the local resettlement community.”
Actually, that headline should read:

Quick Thought – Role of the State; what about Liberties?
by Skip
the New Deal settlement has been reshaping Americans’ expectations about the nation-state’s reach and role. Consequently, the U.S. federal government will continue to provide a social safety net, regulate the economy, and shoulder a substantial share of responsibility for safeguarding the social and economic bases of political equality.
The State is responsible for two things:
- Respecting and protecting our Rights and Freedom
- Protecting individuals
Even with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation,
No Bullies, Like Union Bullies
Below is text taken from N.H. House Speaker William O’Brien’s Facebook page:
Here’s what union-controlled government has become in New Hampshire:
Union operatives are pulling my yard signs from public areas and replacing some of them with union signs. Union thugs have twice gone into a general store in my town and threatened the woman who owns it with a boycott if she doesn’t take down a yard sign supporting me.
Unions also have promised to put $50,000 into my district, which has about 8,000 people, to defeat me. My opponents’ efforts are beginning to show that kind of spending.

THE VETO OF HB 474: “RIGHT TO WORK? NOT SO MUCH…
by Rick Olson
“Labor unions would have us believe that they transfer income from rich capitalists to poor workers. In fact, they mostly transfer income from the large number of non-union workers to a small number of relatively well-off union workers…” –ROBERT E. ANDERSON, Just Get Out of the Way
CONCORD – Governor Lynch, true to his word vetoed HB 474, the right to work Bill recently passed out of the house and Senate. Passed out of both the house and Senate, the bill has drawn the ire of the Union Hackarama far and wide. All of the pro-unionists came out in force to pontificate about being against the working men and women of this country; About people who will starve and go hungry; and when the rhetoric and false logic had no effect, They crowded hearing rooms and were disruptive with verbal outbursts. Despite all this bad behavior, rank demagoguery and cursing at lawmakers, the bill passed anyway.
Tom Fahey, Statehouse Bureau Chief for the Union Leader writes, “Unions see the bill as a move funded by out of state interests to undercut their role in the workplace. (Unions) argue that the measure intrudes in labor-management relations,” in this morning’s UL article,GOP goes after right-to-work opponents.
Juxtapose that against Unions bussing in “volunteers” for Carol Shea-Porter’s campaign from, Lord-knows where; And, the Union interests from all around the country pumping big dollars into local campaigns, those hardly qualify as out-of-state interests? Leave it to Union mouthpieces to complain about the very thing that is not only pro forma for them, but done with absolute shameless impunity.
Governor Lynch and his union cronies, with their Machiavellian Template, redefine the plain and ordinary meaning of words in the furtherance of their subterfuge. In his press release Governor Lynch chastises, “States should not interfere with the rights of businesses and their employees to freely negotiate contracts. That is unless there is a compelling public interest, and there is no compelling public interest in passing this legislation…” They would have us believe that somehow the veto of this bill is was advocacy for freedom.” Lynch would have us believe job seekers have this “freedom” already in place enabling them to be free from the yoke of the Unions. That is untrue, when an employee has to pay an agency fee to the coffers of the Union. That is essentially joining the Union by proxy.
Northern Pass: Redux Of 1970’s Pope County Michigan
by Rick Olson
Northern Pass wants to build a build a 180-mile power line corridor through 44 Granite State Communities from as far North as Pittsburg down to Deerfield.
House Bill 648, “An act relative to eminent domain petitions by public utilities” brought 250 supporters, roughly 170 of which are property owners located on the proposed or alternative route of the project. According to the Bill’s analysis section, the bill seeks to, “Prohibit public utilities from petitioning for permission to take private land or property rights for the construction or operation of a private large scale transmission line.” The bill drew overwhelming support by those who fear their land might be taken from them or rendered worthless.
Such fears are not without precedent. This fight is not a new fight. This very situation played out in Minnesota in the early 1970’s where farmers waged a fight against big power companies taking farmland by eminent domain. The farmers ultimately lost this fight. This account is detailed in the book Powerline: the first battle of America’s energy war, written by the late Senator Paul D. Wellstone and Barry M. Casper (Forward in 2003 by lefty Senator Tom Harkin). Aside from the book being written by a couple of liberal progressives, the book is otherwise instructive in the plight of these farmers against Big Power.
Arguments against the project range from blighting the landscape and disparately affecting the tourism industry to devaluation of land have been leveled. those are all reasonable. But there is one component given very little attention in the discussion here.
Big Power will nearly always make an attractive financial offer to you for a utility easement over your land. But what few really comprehend what happens after such an easement is given by a landowner. Read the account of a Fond-du-Lac Wisconsin Farmer that granted a power company a lease to install a wind turbine on his farm land.
Dr. Brennan Picks His Poison
by Rick Olson
Mid February 12-year-old Morgan Graveline had the front teeth knocked out of her head during school hours in the school cafeteria. Morgan’s mother Danielle Gauthier told the Union Leader neither medical assistance or the police were called. Gauther went on to tell the UL that no report was ever taken despite numerous calls to Police Headquarters and only after the story received media coverage.
The UL featured a follow-up story on Saturday, February 26 alleging that Morgan Graveline was the aggressor. Hassan Baruki, the father of 14-year-old, “tooth-knocker-outer, Abdi Karim Maalo, asserted his son to be a, “good boy” but added that his friend Ali is a “troublemaker.” Summarily, this becomes a, “She said-He said story. We need be less concerned about who said what to whom. A young girl received a concussion and the teeth knocked right out of her head. For all the preaching, policies and law changes, here is an example where nothing prevented this violence.
The UL’s Ted Seifer also included Danielle Gauthier’s brushes with the law and a bankruptcy filing in this story. What does that have to do with the price of eggs in China? Why? Does this inclusion effectively weight her “credibility?” Does Gauthier’s issues change any of the facts alleged here? In my view, the inclusion was a poor choice and reflected badly on Ted Seifer and the UL. But that is between Ted and his bosses at the UL. Enough said on that.
