AFP-NH Puts a Focus on 10 Key Legislative Priorities for 2021
Last week American’s for Prosperity New Hampshire published a list of legislative priorities for the Granite State in 2021. They’ve put a much-needed focus on ten pieces of legislation covering Education, Licensing, Free Speech, Asset Forfeiture, Health Care, and (believe it or not) Climate Change (sort of).
HB 20 Puts Homeschoolers at Risk
The universal EFA bill, House Bill 20, as currently written makes nearly every child in the state eligible for the program, capable of transferring into it, but that is not the same as saying an EFA student is a homeschooler or EFA funds can be used for home education.
I’m Not the Only One Thinking “Lined up on the Runway Ready to Go”
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.
Trump Vows Immediate $1,200 Check To Americans If Speaker Moves Bill – ‘Are You Listening, Nancy?’
FIRST, we are, for the first time, $27 Trillion in debt as a nation. We are broke, broker, brokest. WHY are we sending out more money? WHY is ANYONE sending out even more money that we don’t have?
DISQUS Doodlings – Just Putting Republicans into Those Seats is Insufficient
Sigh. Once again, we see an instance of what I call the Republican Republicans’ for the Sake of the Republican Party (“RRftSofRP”). I don’t consider myself the brightest bulb in the lot; just an ordinary schlub from Central New Hampsha.
The Pre-Emptive Veto
There’s a lot of talk lately about how the House wasted time on some pointless reprimands, and consequently everything is behind schedule. However, this represents a small fraction of a much larger slice of time that gets wasted in every session, but especially in sessions — like the current one — where the legislative and executive branches are controlled by different parties.

GrandFamilies Study Commission: Fourth Meeting
Today was that next meeting. A bit light on the attendance but hey, everybody’s busy and Christmas is coming up fast in the dashcam. Most of the meeting was spent in a presentation concerning child screening – quick or long assessments looking for issues. The premise is that the earlier problems are found, the faster … Read more
Who is Opposed to Educational Opportunities
Children have one opportunity at an education that fits their needs. Education is not one-size-fits-all; even good public schools cannot meet the unique needs of every child. This is why we are passionate about supporting children and families to access that “right fit” educational option, whether it is local public schools, chartered public schools, private … Read more
What to do: Gilford School Board Stonewalls a Right-to-Know Demand
Just because you’ve thrown 28 pages at someone and called them “responsive” doesn’t mean you have answered an RSA 91-A demand. Which is what GSD Superintendent Kirk Beitler did.
Federal Regulators Save New Hampshire Ratepayers from Biomass-Whooping
New Hampshire’s Biomass mess is winding down. The Legislature refused to override the governor’s veto on a timber-industry sop. And federal Regulators declared the original law whose veto was overridden invalid. Ratepayers should be cheering.
Gov. Chris Sununu Tweets his Thanks for (22) Vetoes Sustained So Far
Today (and tomorrow) are Veto override days in the NH Legislature. And they have a lot of bills to consider. We’ve posted a list of bills he rejected. But as I write this Gov. Sununu has thanked the NH House for sustaining twenty-(two) of his vetoes (so far).
MSNBC Calls Doctor’s Belief in Two Genders ‘Incendiary’
Recently an ad for Dr. Ralph Abrahama appeared in the inbox. It was catchy but he’s seeking the GOP gubernatorial nomination in Louisiana. Should he win he will challenge Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards. The race wasn’t local so the email got the delete button. The follow on Well, probably the next day a piece by … Read more
Are You Watching…? Planned Parenthood Is Out of Title X Family Planning
Planned Parenthood (PP) has recently announced it will withdraw from the Title X family planning program. The decision comes as a result of the administration’s regulation change. The regulation change requires PP to separate its abortion business from other health care services in order to keep federal funding. What does that tell us? Choosing abortion … Read more
EU Mulling Anti-Semitic Legislation… What’s Next Stars of David on Clothing?
Yes this is for real. France has already done it on some agricultural products. The EU is proposing this pro BDS move in the name of “neutrality.” We played this game before and it did not end well. This time the EU is targeting the nation of Israel as opposed to individual Jews. They have … Read more
Right to Self Defense… It Is Absolute
Our Second Amendment constitutional right is absolute, unless and until it infringes upon the rights of others. The act of owning a gun, regardless of the type, does not infringe upon someone else’s right. Using it to threaten, injure or kill them most definitely does. Guns are inanimate objects, tools. They are tools used by … Read more
So kids, what did we learn from Thursday’s House Session (06/27/19)?
We learned that even when the House and Senate sit down together in Committees of Conference to settle their disagreements on really bad legislation that the resulting legislation can still be really bad legislation, especially when it comes to our State’s Budget. Proof that sometimes more than 2 heads are not better than one. We … Read more
So kids, what did we learn from Wednesday’s House Session (5/8/19)?
For one thing, we learned that the Canadian Consul General lacks any kind of manners since he came to OUR House and criticized our President’s trade policies in his speech to the House. I mean really…. do you go to someone’s house and complain about how things are run at their house? No, you don’t. … Read more
