Durham New Hamshire’s #Woke Christmas Story Just Keeps Getting Worse

Durham, New Hampshire, is cursed with the main University of New Hampshire Campus. The physical campus is not the problem; the army of #woke white tower idoits who have poisoned the cultural well in the surrounding communities, with December Holidays the hit hardest.

Cities & Towns in New Hampshire Have NO Legal Authority to Mandate Masks

I covered this in a post ridiculing a Superior Court decision upholding Nashua’s mask mandate, but with more and more municipalities passing or considering mask-mandates, I decided the topic was worthy of its own post. Let’s start with the principle that New Hampshire is NOT a “home rule” State. That means, as the New Hampshire … Read more

Rally -“No Mandatory Mask” Protest Planned This Week For Keene, NH

New Hampshire is the only state in New England without a mask mandate. But we have Democrat-run cities, and they love them. So, before the City of Keene chose to implement a city-wide mask ordinance we all knew was coming, David Lheureux was planning a “no mask mandate” protest.

UNH Student Lied About being Drugged by Frat – What’s the Punishment for That?

A New Hampshire College student has been arrested for submitting a false police report. She lied about being drugged by a UNH fraternity. That’s tantamount to attempted rape. Sadly fake rape is not as uncommon as you’d think.  So, the burning question is, what’s the punishment for that?

Blog Question of the Day – Is There a “NH Voter Silver Lining” in this Coronavirus Crisis?

I was sitting here thinking, with all the colleges sending everyone home, is 2020 the year NH has fair elections again? It will be interesting to see voter counts.

Have Durham New Hampshire’s Campus Culture Mullahs Solved the Problem of Christmas?

The template for Muslim conquest is as old as Islam. Invade, and build a mosque. Use the mosque to expand pressure or influence until your enemies are converted or driven before you. American College campuses work the same way, which explains what happened to Durham, NH.

Artist Fakes Historic Markers In Durham NH to Perpetuate Climate Fraud

An artist has placed signs around the New Hampshire Seacoast to heighten awareness. Labeled the Seacoast Remembrance Project, these signs detail some future action that was taken as a result of climate chaos (or presumably because of our failure to act on it).

Seacoast Luddites Consider Blocking Powerline Project – Must Like it Cold and Dark

When Granite State Enviro-wackos are not blocking paths to more affordable energy they are taxing the crap out of it. Making us pay more for it. Or, in the case of a powerline project in the seacoast, considering if and how best to block it.

Durham NH’s Human Rights Commission Calls for End to Town’s Christmas Tree Lighting Tradition

It has long been my contention that the Left’s template for America is the modern American College Campus. It spreads to the college town and then the county, state, and nation. Durham, New Hampshire, the home of UNH, continues to prove me right. The towns Human Rights Commission (ack!) has recommended an end to the … Read more

Research Opportunity for Todd I. Selig?

Durham Town Administrator Todd I. Selig, according to this report, is in lock-down at Harvard.    He’s supposed to be there for an executive course in negotiations but perhaps this will afford him the opportunity to ‘research’ his next editorial? (see here, here, here, here, and/or here.) Remarking on his purpose for being at Harvard, and the lock-down,  Selig said… “Negotiation isn’t only asserting one’s … Read more

Where Todd I. Selig Admits to Some Heavy Lifting…But Not All.

Book of Bad Habiits-Cheating
Image credit – boysguidebooks.blogspot.com

Several of us writing here at GraniteGrok have taken to task Durham Town Administrator Todd I. Selig for both his position on the issue of raising the gas tax and how he went about showing his support for it.  Literally.  The letter he submitted to various publications around New Hampshire, explaining his support for the tax, included direct quotes from other sources–in some cases lifted in their entirety–without attribution.

In a recent comment to one of those posts Mr. Selig reiterates his position and admits the following.

In addition, I did quote heavily from TRIP in the paragraphs noted, in particular in the second to last paragraph without attribution. I view the TRIP overview of the deficiencies in NH roadways to be factual and accurate and fully consistent with my own understanding of the issue. The words used represent my perspective. I take full responsibility for them. Further, I did subsequently write to TRIP and the organization had no objection to the use of the material as utilized.

Because They Voted Where It Matters

College kids bussed to polling places by liberals democrats and UNH ProfessorsBoston.com has an article today observing that pro-obama turnout in New Hampshire’s college towns is less than it was in 2008.  There is very intentional mention of concerns (from folks like myself I assume) about out of state students being used to tip the election; but how no one could ever know how they’d vote, and about the promtion by Democrats of the idea that Republicans were tyring to keep them from voting which is why they should.

So much concern in one tiny little article, complete with deceptions, and a new narrative to plumb.

Well I just happen to have a very workable theory about why turnout in NH College towns was down–something I had not considered checking until now, thank you–and it ties directly to a well worn New Hampshire Democrat excuse about why they support out of state student voting in New Hampshire.

Morse Code – It’s A Double Dip In Oyster River

James Morse - Bnagor Daily News Seth Koenig Photo credit“Sometimes, life throws you some curves.”  That was the response “retiring” Portland Maine School District Superintendent Dr. James Morse gave to the press and the public after announcing that he had taken a job as the Superintendent of the Oyster River Cooperative district in New Hampshire.

“Sometimes, life throws you some curves.”

But we can read the stitches.  One of those stitches indicates that Mr. Morse was one of 15 applicants for the job.  (Applicant: A person who applies, as for a job.) So how much of a curve ball is it when you announce you are “retiring” (after 32 years in the public education industrial complex), and then get a job for which you applied?

GrokTV Event-NH Senate hearing: Voter ID / SB318 – Skip Murphy

OK, I’m touting my own horn here.  Sure, I am in favor of a Voter ID bill that requires a picture ID.  Given the two bills, I think I would favor SB289 over SB318.  Yes, the latter tries to cover more areas but I think that SB289 is more tightly focused on the major issue … Read more
