Christmas was quiet and I’m expecting New Year’s to be the same. It wasn’t a bad year but we’ve had better. However, all things considered, I’m grateful for both the good and the bad. How about you?
Elections just had – will things change? Can or will the Republicans do the right things according to the feedback of their base? Or just go along to get along? And with the news that the top two spots in the NH GOP are empty for January’s NH GOP Annual meeting, how will the Party … Read more
Anger – but rationally directed. Not helpless, not a victim – but “self-righteous revenge” might work. The fury of “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore” setting in with a determination of “Molon Labe” mixed with a Gandalfian “You Shall Not Pass” ‘tude. Or, is everything buttercups and fairy rainbows … Read more
I just don’t know what to say. Actually I do and “righteous anger” is among my favorite emotions right now. But that’s just me. How are you all handling the results of Tuesday? And that with the Democrat spawned early voting and vote by mail, it’s no longer Election Day but seems to be turning … Read more
Loyal Reader NHnative asked, so I’m delivering. Today is Election Day – you folks know what needs to be done so git out there and “get’r done”! THEN come back and let us know what you did at the polls, what was the activity like at the polls – all that kind of stuff. Plus … Read more
This weekly post is ALWAYS about you and your ideas, but I’m curious to see how you felt about not only Federal level ones (US Senate, US Congressional) but your countyand local ones as well? Otherwise, have at it and yak about anything that’s on YOUR minds!
Certainly, the Gunstock ski area in my county, Belknap, has become a long-running tragedy but somebody’s got to cover it! I assume that I’m not the only one with such things going on – you folks must have one you can share, right? Or not – after all, like always, this open thread is yours … Read more
So y’all are gonna have to take point and lead this week’s Open Thread yourselves. Take us all to that Promised Land called “The Weekend”! Let’r rip!
And while the “Gunstock Debacle” is seemingly in a brief pause (and trust me, it ain’t over), I’m trying to catch my breath. School is out for the Grandson so time for “day” vacations over the next three weeks – just in time as I haven’t taken a vacation in years (even though being retired … Read more
Too much going on in too little time. No, I’m not going to whine but even in the middle of the day as I set this post up, the bed is looking VERY enticing. But with Gunstock almost 24/7, even Steve just asked “Are you alive?”. That’s not good! So as always, your voices reign … Read more
Yup, hardly time to grab a breath – Obama’s “Dense Pack” strategy has returned (i.e., the bad guys swamping the good guys with everything for FUD purposes: Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt at a mind dizzying pace) when it comes to Gunstock. But that pace also strains the bad side and they start making mistakes from … Read more
I hate this time – so far, spring was very cool and the first half of July was fine. Now, we’re paying the piper here in NH and the summer weather has me literally hot under the collar. That’s not even counting the political shenanigans going on locally or nationally! So, how many of you … Read more
Meetings, doing more GrokGauntlets, and the Grandson is starting to get the “Summer Boredom” syndrome (which is more of a problem to me than him!). Speaking of the middle one, I’m adding Gail Huff-Brown (running in CD-1) to the DECLINE category joining outright DECLINEs from Chris Sununu (running for Governor) and George Hansel). I’m taking … Read more
Except for me – two additional GrokGauntlets done, still trying to herd a couple more candidates, the Grandson started summer school for “extra” stuff, and trying to keep all the other plates spinning (re: the ancient “Ed Sullivan” variety show). However, nothing earthshattering for news – it’s about time that current events gave us a … Read more
Indeed: Abortion – really a case of Federalism sending Powers back to the States School Vouchers – really a case of Religious Liberty and telling States they can’t discriminate against non-secular schools Guns – really a case of Individual Liberty / Constitution MEANS what is written (“shall not be infringed”) Prayer – again, Religious Freedom … Read more
Sorry, but with the facts that the Supreme Court of the United States continues to restore our Second Amendment Rights in the case of NY (that said NY’s “may issue” permitting for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is unconstitutional. Of COURSE? Think of the insanity of having to ask Daddy Government for permission … Read more
So, how are you weathering this assault by Biden’s puppetmasters in implementing The Green New Deal across every facet of our lives WITHOUT that AOC monstrosity ever being passed by the US House or Senate? Are you liking the fact that the Federal Government has raised your energy costs, your food costs, your clothes costs, … Read more
So Government has decided, in the form of School Boards, Teachers Unions, and Democrats, that it has the Power to stand between Parents and their children. That Parents count less than both Government and their own Children. Isn’t this a form of “Taking”? Oh Wait! Republican have sided with them! Whose Party Platform states: We, … Read more
First, an announcement, and then I’ll turn this thread over to those that rightly own it – YOU ALL! Tomorrow night at the Area 23 Craft Beers and Ciders pub. We’ve been there twice before and the owner, Kevin, is always happy to see us all. The time is 6 pm-8 pm. Location: Area 23 … Read more
