We shared a story two days ago about a report on local Government propaganda Television (ABC 9 WMUR) that something called Republicans for Harris was sweeping the nation, and New Hampshire was going to start a chapter all their own. Translated, we’re not Republicans. We say we are; anyone can register for any party (long-time … Read more
Most people who have been paying attention for quite some time already knew the writing was on the walls. The state Royal Family has selected Kelly Ayotte to be the darling favorite candidate for governor. It was obvious that Papa Smurf already approved her and just a matter of time before Baby Huey would make … Read more
In my previous post, I had decided to follow up on Steve’s news that the NH Attorney General’s Office had demanded that Shirley Doheny resign her position of Town Clerk due to multiple voting irregularities that she was responsible for overseeing. I decided to see if she had already followed through and resigned as of … Read more
I am endorsing John Rodgers in the Vermont Republican Primary to be Vermont’s next Lieutenant Governor. I do not generally endorse candidates in primaries, because I believe people should be encouraged to run and the Party should avoid internal conflict where possible. Indeed, Greg Thayer asked me earlier in this election cycle to endorse him … Read more
The New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office is holding Election law training all over the state this month (before the September primary). I’m not certain they want peasants to attend, but if you think you qualify or can sneak into one, it might be useful to hear what it is they are teaching your ballot … Read more
I always find it interesting to see who a Presidential candidate chooses to complete their ticket. The person chosen usually brings some electorate benefit, and there have been some fascinating choices for Vice President in my lifetime. The two mates do not always have to get along, as JFK chose LBJ in 1960. Kennedy was … Read more
It appears as if the anointed Harris hasn’t done any major interviews recently, nor is she taking questions from reporters. It’s all very 2008 Barry O. Just check out his pre-recorded explanation in the video on his website. And they did. Obama got better off script, something I don’t think Harris is capable of, so … Read more
Well, I was hoping to get a callback from the Secretary of State’s Elections section yesterday concerning Dan Richard’s Writ of Mandamus – that didn’t happen. Upon coming home from taking the Grandson to Clarke’s Bears, I quickly opened the laptop thinking that I might have received an email. Wishful thinking. However, Dan received a … Read more
Every election cycle, we get this. People who identify as Republican announce their support for the Democrat candidate. Their stated goal is to convince people in the supposed middle that their guy or gal or whatever is a better choice. The 2024 Circus is no different. We will have alleged Republicans endorsing Democrats up and … Read more
Democrats think JD Vance is weird—I mean, really weird. And what started with Vance has since been attached—by the chattering class propagandist punditry—to the Trump campaign and Republicans in general. It is a 2024 version of deplorable, with a whimsical twist. But is it any less offensive, and does it open them up to attack? … Read more
I decided to follow up on Steve’s post (NH AG Orders Hampton Town Clerk to Resign After Multiple Election Law Violations) to see if Hampton Town Clerk Shirly Doheny had followed the NH State Attorney General’s Office demand to resign. So I called. Now you get to figure out which it is – A “no”, … Read more
Look at San Francisco, the previously beautiful city on the Bay in Northern California. Look at Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes and demolished urban areas destroyed by the George Floyd protestors of 2020. Look at these two regions, and you will see the future of America if Kamala Harris and her Vice President running … Read more
What, dear readers, are the first thoughts that come to your mind when you hear the words “country club?” Rich old white men playing golf? Antisemitism? Anti-anything that is a departure from the Good Old Boys network? Though several Rs in the Senate do indeed play golf, let me be clear that I’m not implying … Read more
It is important to frame your political opponents in an unfavorable light. Just ask a Democrat. They’ve been doing it so well, and for so long, most of their base is incapable of speaking a single truth about Donald Trump because they don’t know any. Republicans, we hope, are more nuanced and able to engage … Read more
For all the prattle about Reagan’s 11th Commandment and despite months of seemingly endless exhortations not to attack Republicans in this election cycle, when it comes down to it, State Senate Republicans are more interested in entrenched power. Emily Phillips is challenging Senator Gannon in a primary, and the Republican State Senate PAC appears willing … Read more

In an unexpected twist of fate that has left political pundits scratching their heads and reaching for their thesauruses, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has stumbled into the spotlight for…not knowing what she does. Yes, you heard it right! In a recent appearance on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Harris found herself in a pickle, trying … Read more
As November 2024 approaches, it seems appropriate to revisit this third rail of New Hampshire politics: election fraud in the Granite State. There were anomalies, not just in now-infamous Windham and not just in 2020, but this caught my eye, so I thought I’d share it as a reminder. Note: Right Rally will ultimately be … Read more
It is impressive how marketing carefully chooses words to mask a situation and give it a positive spin. One of my all-time favorites is Reproductive Rights. It sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? In the case of women, Reproductive Rights must involve protecting a female to decide to become pregnant and have children on their terms … Read more
Democrats excoriate Trump and then think that we won’t see Kamala doing the same kinds of things. “So many Democrat voting women, often married, think Trump is untrustworthy because they believe he slept with side chicks. So now they are going to demonstrate how much they hate Trump by voting for the actual side chick, … Read more
