This echoes what I’ve been saying. That the GOP and NH GOP should have Bills prepped and prechecked WELL before a legislative session, on the taxiway, and ready to launch down the runway.

Tucker Carlson Wonders Why the GOP Loathes Its Voters and Explains a Lot of Things in the Process
I keep harping on what happened a decade or so ago but things have a habit of recurring because memories grow short – or the other side’s cynicism of “we got away with it before, we can do it again!” keeps growing. And yes, TEA Party, again.
A Long Set Up And Reaching Back Into History But It Was Worth My Time.
ONE HAND WASHES THE OTHER: Joe Biden, Black Lives Matter activists helped you win Wisconsin. Don’t forget us. “These demands are not coming from Kenosha alone, but from all across the country, where the Black Lives Matter movement – the largest social uprising in our nation’s history – has inspired a new generation of voters and activists. … Read more
Bolduc vs Messner
Good evening fellow citizens, supporters of both Don Bolduc and Bryant Messner. As we head into the primary emotions are high, and everyone’s swords are drawn in favor of their preferred candidate.
If the NH-GOP Ever Wants to Win Again … It Needs to Start by Admitting It Has Lost.
I recently read an excellent article by Ned Ryun, which I think is “spot on” for the NH-GOP. Its premise: … It’s time for a scrappy New Right to be built with an insurgency approach: we must accept that we are not in power, that we do not control the institutions, and that it’s time … Read more
Freedom of Speech, Just watch what you say…
Freedom of Speech, Just watch what you say, a line from the Gangster Rapper, ICE-T. I am reminded of this lyric (from my youth) whenever I strike a nerve. Who’s nerve did I hit? Well, that would be Philip Abirached of the Windham, NH Republican Committee.
Perception: Left Loots Trump Tickets to Create Empty Seat Imagery but GOP Still Setting Fundraising Records
Democrats have played the Tulsa Rally turnout as a sign of the President’s doom. Don’t buy into the COVID fallout narrative. No one that scared registered (who wanted to go). The empty seats were the result of leftists signing-up for tickets who never planned to go. To create a negative perception. Okay, let’s talk about perception.
Republican Messaging Problem – one proposed solution
Steve has a thoughtful post on Republican messaging – it’s a problem. And his post caught me square between the eyes as it is one heckova problem because he’s right: the GOP is losing. It’s that old age issue: what do you say to counter “FREE”? First and as a long term “thing”, get Conservatives … Read more
Louisiana Getting Redder As Dems Wiped Out in Elections
Here’s a short but happy post for those on the right. Louisiana had elections on Saturday. It did not go well for Democrats.
Huge GOP Win in Epping Special Election
Michael Vose won the Epping Special Election tonight 880 to 806, defeating Naomi Andrews. Over 1500 ballots were handed out, marking nearly 30% turnout, which is huge for a special election in New Hampshire. Both sides saw this election as vital to win, and poured tons of resources into the small town of Epping to … Read more
GOP Holds High Hand in Budget Showdown
Wednesday and Thursday were good days for legislative Republicans. They showed unified strength in sustaining the Governor’s many vetoes, sustaining 53 out of 55 so far this year. This also showed the Democrats just how powerful the minority can be, when it bands together. But, its too early to sit back and count the chips, … Read more

GraniteGrok will be at the Nashua Steak-Out tonight! The keynote speaker is former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan.
Meet the GOP Reps Who Voted to Raise the SOLAR-SUBSIDY TAX
Governor Sununu recently vetoed HB 365, which raises the Solar-Subsidy Tax. Here is part of his veto-message: I probably disagree with Sununu more often than I agree with him. But he is absolutely right about HB 365. Here is a pithy summary of how the subsidy -which is euphemistically called “net metering”- works: Forty-three states … Read more
Really New Hampshire GOP? The Life of a Heinous Cop-Killer More Important Than the Lives of Seven, Eight, Nine Month Old Unborn Babies?
This: The last time somebody was executed in New Hampshire was 1939. The only person affected by repealing the statutory death penalty is a convicted cop-killer, whom nobody argues was falsely convicted. Contrast this to the real death penalty that takes place probably daily in New Hampshire. The most permissive abortion laws in the country. … Read more
Someone Has Money to Burn: Bill Weld Is Officially Challenging Trump for the Republican Nomination
Never Trumper’s have their 2020 champion. Bill Weld officially threw other people’s money into a fiery pit. Sorry, what I meant was a hat in the “ring” for the 2020 GOP nomination. A fiery ring.
Well, it looked like the US House Republicans got Trump’s message – they passed a bill
Next to repealing Obamacare, immigration has been a hot topic amongst the conservative base. Trump knew it and campaigned heavily on it: The Wall. Forget whether you like the idea (I do) or not, it was a campaign promise. It was for a lot of other Congresscritters as well but even with owning all three … Read more
Election Results Won’t Change If The Faces Don’t
By the mid-term elections how is it possible that Muslim terrorist attacks in the U.S. ceased, the GDP reached 4.1%, wages went up, the stock market went up “bigly”, NATO was induced to pay its way, North Korea stopped launching missiles, bonuses were given out to workers, overall unemployment declined, Hispanic unemployment went down, black … Read more
NH House Republican Minority Announces “Leadership” Positions
Republicans limp into the next session of the New Hampshire Legislature in the minority where it will become vital for them to stick together. A strong united front (In the NH House) will do more to peel off the necessary Democrat votes than the bevy of Republican aisle crossers we’ve been plagued with these past few … Read more
BlogQuestion of the Day: “2020 starts now, Skip”
We helped Democrats rack up historic victories in 2018 — taking back the House, flipping key state legislative chambers, and picking up governors’ mansions and Senate seats. The reason we won all of these races is that grassroots donors invested in these races early, and helped build a foundation for victory.
That’s the title and part of the message of yet another email missive I got from the Democrat National Committee (as an Independent, they’ve glommed onto my email address, along with almost every other Democrat group and candidate – DELUGED with email these past few months. Jus’ askin’. Look, I’m only 1 guy in a very small State with only 1 vote. So why are the Democrats so hungry and already reaching out? And it isn’t just from the DNC, either! Yet:
So why haven’t the Republican apparatuses done the same? With the same frequency and intensity?
Fact: More American’s Getting Health Care Coverage Under Trump and Republicans
Democrat’s have been swearing up and down the campaign trail that Republicans are destroying Health Care. But, like most of the words that pass between the lips of those crowding the political left, it just ain’t so. Under President Trump and the Republican Congress more American’s have health coverage and health care options. The total number of Americans with health … Read more
