One of my favorite Simpsons sound bytes is when Principal Skinner is on stage for a ceremonious event and says “thank you and I will now take pre approved questions from honor roll students.” What enamors me is that it predates the institution of memes and social media by decades and it speaks truth about … Read more
New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte has repeatedly placed equal blame on both parties for the federal government shutdown. Examples: Apparently, Ayotte believes that Democrats are NOT to blame for refusing to pass the same type of “clean” continuing resolution (maintaining current spending) that was passed thirteen times under Biden. Apparently, she believes that Republicans should … Read more
Dear Members of the Executive Council, As you get ready to consider the re-appointment of John Formella to the Attorney General’s position, I urge you to consider the following. (Please note that this is not personal against John Formella, but it is an indictment against the Attorney General’s office over the last several AGs in … Read more
I reviewed Kelly Ayotte’s tweets for 5 days, Friday through today, the Tuesday after Labor Day. Keeping in mind that she is a human being and that she probably has some staff member doing her social media for her, she is still the captain of the ship, both for her staff and all of the … Read more
A few thoughts on Ayotte keeping Formella as AG and nominating Bryan Gould to the court
Gov. Ayotte’s Judicial Procrastination Threatens the Future of the NH Supreme Court
This week, Gov. Ayotte signed into law HB 701, a critical right-to-try expansion bill aimed at making New Hampshire the leading legal jurisdiction in the nation for dying patients seeking access to promising experimental treatments. Named the “John Lewicke and Michael Yakubovich Right to Try Act” after two state legislators who are fighting life-threatening illness, HB … Read more
If you missed it, Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess implicated former NH Governor Chris Sununu on the matter of Nongfu Springs’ purchase of land (to get water) adjacent to the Pennichuck water works in Nashua. He is alleged to have encouraged it, pursued it, and if you’re even the tiniest bit uppity (傲慢) about it, blame … Read more
Legislative maps, which determine how each district is drawn, need to be redesigned to reflect population changes—political parties, however, like to redraw them to increase their political power and diminish their opponents. The debates are contentious, with the results typically favoring the majority. When Democrats in the Texas legislature fled their state to avoid a … Read more
Illegal Alien Drivers’ Licenses No Good in New Hampshire Kelly Ayotte just made it crystal clear: if you’re in this country illegally and holding one of those feel-good, law-dodging licenses from Vermont or California, you better keep on driving, right out of New Hampshire. She signed the bill. She dropped the gavel. And with that … Read more
While the uproar amongst many conservatives (all while democrats applaud) centers around many great Republican bills Governor Ayotte has vetoed, we mustn’t overlook a few bills she signed off on that force state mandates onto municipalities regarding zoning. When Kelly Ayotte ran for Governor, her catch slogan was “Let’s not Mass up NH”, a rather … Read more
Claiming that it’s part of an effort to mitigate a (non-existent) housing ‘crisis’, Governor Ayotte has signed every single housing bill that made it to her desk, including the very damaging HB577, which eradicates the right of towns to create single-family zones. We are now no better than California. Despite being sent our petition daily … Read more
When the people perform the arduous process of creating new state law through government, it works by starting in the State’s House of Representatives. A State Representative introduces the newly suggested law to their State’s House, and it gets voted (in or out) there first. If it gets voted IN through the State’s House of … Read more
As a woman, athlete, and gymnastics coach dedicated to girls and women, I am disappointed by Governor Kelly Ayotte’s recent veto of House Bill 148, legislation designed to safeguard the rights, safety, and fairness for female athletes and women throughout New Hampshire. This bill was a necessary step toward protecting women’s single-sex spaces—ranging from locker … Read more
New Hampshire’s creepy groomers are beside themselves with glee and likely some young children over Governor Ayotte’s rejection of the bill that would keep men out of women’s bathrooms and porn out of grade school kids’ hands. They’re GLADD she did it, while the people who might actually vote for her in 2026, assuming she … Read more
Sadly, Governor Ayotte vetoed some important Bills including HB446. HB446 would have required parental consent when their child is given the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey in school. New Hampshire already has a law that requires parental consent when their children take a non-academic survey in school. There is ONE exception, and that is the … Read more
New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte has signed House Bill 361, which prohibits local school districts from imposing any mask mandates in schools or district property at the local level. This bill prohibits school boards and other public education agencies from adopting, enforcing, or implementing a policy that requires students or members of the public to wear … Read more
A few weeks back, Jaun, who runs Right America Media, asked me if I wanted to create a new commercial for GraniteGrok. We’d been running this one for a while, and a refresh seems like a good idea. The ad runs on Granite State Live, Right Side Up, and GrokTALK! I want them to amuse so … Read more
New Hampshire is poised to become the 28th state to ban medical procedures aimed at disguising the sex of minors. I urge Governor Kelly Ayotte to sign HB377 and HB712 into law. I serve as the coordinator of the Desisted & Detransitioned Women’s Caucus of Women’s Declaration International USA. Women’s Declaration International (WDI) is the … Read more
It is now VERY important to contact the Governor and tell her that 1,106 people on our petition hope that she will VETO HB 577, as it would eradicate and outlaw single-family neighborhoods just like they did in California. And we all know what a disaster that was! You can call and leave a polite … Read more
