The Real Deal – Vivek Ramaswamy

June 28, 2023 Steve Earle

It was a slow weekend, with nothing on the calendar, but I caught an email telling me one of our Presidential candidates would be in Alton Sunday evening. I said, “What the heck – why not?” Vivek Ramaswamy was/is a little-known candidate, but like I said, “What the heck, I’ll go” (By the way, the … Read more

Dan Richard – How Did Our “Employees” Get To Write the Rules on How They Get Re-Elected?

June 28, 2023June 28, 2023 Skip

It’s a GREAT question. Why? But first, this is from Dan himself for context: OF COURSE, it’s a constitutional crisis. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling yesterday, in Moore v. Harper, comes the day after I filed my case with the NH State Supreme Court (docket # 2023-0097), which is the same theme and argument in Richard v. … Read more

My Endorsement of Donald Trump For President

June 28, 2023 Op-Ed

I have been honored to represent the people of New Hampshire as their US Congressman and US Senator for 18 years. I know New Hampshire values. I also know that those values are not currently represented by the Biden administration and its left-wing cohorts in the media.

You Are An Exception, Not A Success Story

June 13, 2023June 12, 2023 Ray Cardello

Senator Tim Scott and Former Governor and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley of South Carolina have incredible life stories that should bring hope to every American. They are genuine American tales of how anyone can rise from the lowest to the highest levels of success if they have the mindset to do so.

Chris Sununu Presidential Poll Watch – The Finale

June 7, 2023June 7, 2023 Skip

Well, as Steve informed us, Chris Sununu benched himself with this: To win, Republicans need our message to appeal to new voters, and we can do this without sacrificing classic conservative principles of individual liberty, low taxes and local control. But we must abandon the issues that are solely made for social media headlines, such … Read more

We Do Not Need Comfortable, We Need Strength

June 6, 2023 Ray Cardello

Democrats have unjustly criticized the Republican Party as one of old white men who do not reflect the tapestry of America. You can look at the diversity of the field of Republican candidates for President to know how false that statement is.

Sununu Isn’t Running For President

June 5, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Today, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu announced he would not seek the Republican nomination for President. I guess he looked at the polling and discovered that he’d reached his ceiling on electability (but won’t admit it). It’s a lesson he should have learned from not running for the US Senate.

Snap Poll – Which Republican Would You Support for NH Governor [Poll Fixed – Extended 24 hours]

June 5, 2023June 4, 2023 Skip

I’ve been a bit tied up lately with the NH Legislative Ethics Committee and DCYF (yes, they are doing things that have caught my gaze – both in general and personally), and again, a bit of Citizen for Belknap, and helping others with Right To Know demands. You know, you’d think that being retired, my … Read more

Is Biden Campaigning Or Hiding

June 2, 2023 Ray Cardello

Joe Biden officially announced his candidacy for reelection to President of the United States over 30 days ago. Since that early morning recorded announcement, Joe Biden has made no in-person campaign appearances. We are learning that this may be the campaign strategy from Joe for the 2024 election.

Chris Sununu Presidential Poll Watch – Week of 5/29/23

May 30, 2023 Skip

Another week and another loser week for Sununu with respect to his place in the “podium crowd” – still at the bottom part of the pack: Well, he did do a bit better than he did last week: 1% this week vs 0.7% last week (moving from Also Ran to Tier 3, barely). Roughly for … Read more

May 29, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial “beginning” of summer and the day we honor our war dead. It is deeply meaningful, especially in the lead-up to choosing a commander-in-chief, so we thought it an excellent time to run our first 2024 pre-primary presidential poll.

As Republicans Pile on to the Presidential Primary, Good or Bad?

May 23, 2023 Ray Cardello

The Presidential season is upon us. Sometimes it feels like we are always in election mode, but the official season is here, and the first Republican Primary Debate is just three months away. The RNC is planning 10-12 debates, which may be one for every candidate, as the field is snowballing.

Chris Sununu Presidential Poll Watch – Week of 5/22/23

May 22, 2023 Skip

Frankly, I’ve slowed down on reporting NH Gov. Chris Sununu’s polling number from RealClearPolitics (the gold standard as they aggregate several vetted polling companies from both the Right and the Left to “even out the bias”). Why?

If They Really Want Donald Trump to Lose the Primary ‘Kiss-of-Death’ Chris Sununu Should Endorse Him

May 18, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Sununu family business is politics, so Chris Sununu running for office was never a surprise. Nor is his being a world-class RINO peddling the Never-Trump narrative. It’s a family tradition. But if they want Trump to lose the Primary, the odds of that improve significantly if Chris endorses him.

DeSantis Defunds Discrimination, Exclusion and Indoctrination (DEI) Programs in FL State Colleges

May 17, 2023 Steve MacDonald

When you have a legislature willing to help you advance your agenda, you do it. Democrats know this, and so does Ron DeSantis. Regardless of what you think about him as a presidential contender, the guy isn’t a wallflower afraid of offending the donor class by doing something…Republican.

America Could Get Stuck With a Sununu-Like “Booby Prize”

November 12, 2024May 8, 2023 Jim Betti

The contest was about to start, and the two coin bank prizes were on display. One coin bank was the coolest ever. It was a mechanical Rooster that when presented with a coin, would reach down with its beak, pick up the coin and deposit it into a nest-like bank.

What Will His Ardent State Rep “Anti Parental Rights Bill” Supporters Do Now That Sununu “Supports” SB272?

May 7, 2023 Skip

“Spank’em when they’re wrong but thank’em when they do right.” So yes, I have to be nice to NH Governor Chris Sununu (on a preliminary basis – the NH House hasn’t voted on SB272 yet but has passed the Senate) on this news:
