The “will he run or won’t he” rumor mill just took an interesting turn. I’m referring to former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu.

At least a few Granite Staters will be displeased. We are not rid of Chris Sununu. He’s still finding a way to get his face on television even though he’s not in elected office. Sure, he’s been subpoenaed for a wrongful arrest lawsuit, so we should expect to see some Sununuing around that, but why … Read more
Before the door hits him in the ass, on the way out, Governor Chris Sununu issued an executive order rescinding 145 past executive orders going as far back as 2003.

We can proudly claim to be the tip of the spear in the movement to stop the nomination of Melinda “Mindy” Atwood. Stephen Scaer launched it on November 29th with his post, “Tell NH Executive Council to Reject Radical State Librarian Nominee.” Others followed, which is the point. The tip is useless without a shaft … Read more

The Patch has a useful story today with details from the NH Attorney General’s Office. Holiday Scams are a problem, and they felt they should warn Granite Staters to be wary.

Did you know that, thanks to the work of interested activists and elected Representatives, New Hampshire stopped paying dues to the American Library Association (ALA) last year?

Tomorrow is November 19. It was a big day in NH 3 years ago and for 2 reasons. One of them was because it was the day Chuck Morse voted the wrong way on that covid money as a member of the committee serving as the very last firewall opportunity to block it. That was … Read more
Did you know there was a midterm election on Tuesday, November 5, 1974? Now, everyone reading this does. As a kindergartener, I didn’t even know what a governor was, but bad things happened on both sides of the state line that day. One bad governor was born, and another was elected. It was a few … Read more
If I hadn’t heard rumors about Geno Marconi’s concerns and, some would say, opposition to the Gulf of Maine Wind Boondoggle and Pease development plans for Rye Harbor, I’d think this was legitimate.

If someone was keen to make a splash and a statement, they could have gotten this to the Governor’s Desk faster than the Democrats would file lawsuits to overturn it. … Read more
The walkback of New Hampshire’s transgender sports ban has achieved escape velocity. News broke late last week of a lawsuit brought by a transgirl who just wanted to play soccer with all the “other girls.” The courts will likely stay the law while the case idles through the so-called justice system, effectively neutering the legislature’s … Read more
