MACDONALD: Is Liberty Winning in NH?

August 9, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Democrats always tell you or show you what they fear, and by fear, I mean the things that represent the biggest threat to big, inefficient tax-and-spend governments. If it looks like the thing could undermine their progressive Democrat-Socialist agenda, it becomes a target. Donald Trump and MAGA have, for more than ten years, been a … Read more

The Grift Goes On … The Grift Goes On …

February 9, 2023 Ed Mosca

Sun-King Sununu’s unofficial publicist … NH-NeverTrump Journal’s Mikey Graham … is “reporting” on Sun-King’s new 501(c)(4) … “Live Free or Die”. Yes, you read that right … one of America’s worst COVID-tyrants has named his grifting-organization, “Live Free or Die.” Grifting-organization? Yes, grifting-orgaization … here is how it works: if you or I want to … Read more

Stop Trying to Mass Up my New Hampshire 3

New Product Launch – ‘Stop Trying to “Mass Up” My New Hampshire’

March 21, 2022 Steve MacDonald

In the spirit of Don’t California my Texas, we’ve come up with something of our own. For years the Mass (MA) migration into the Granite State has been a concern to defenders of liberty. Many leave MA to escape MA then vote like that here.

From time to time, we will offer single-day discounts on random items in the GrokStore. And yes, I know it’s St. Patricks Day, and we already have a holiday-appropriate Custom Pint Glass if that’s your thing. But we have another favorite I wanted to feature.

I’ve known Di for a long, long time. Good person. We align well from a principles standpoint. However, in her Op-Ed, she has this line:

NH GOP/RNC: Politics Over Your Rulebook? The Joe Kenney Edition

December 13, 2021 Skip

One of our mantras is “Thank’em when they do right and spank’em when they do wrong so, step right up, (my) District 1 Executive Councilor Joe Kenney. And no, this isn’t a thank you letter so you only have one choice left as to why I’m writing this.

Live Free or Die? Just a Marketing Phrase Now?

January 26, 2025November 22, 2021 John Diefenbach

Greetings from Florida – where we have a REAL governor – NOT a Dictator!!! YES. I read all about Fuhrer Sununu and his jack-booted Police State, er, State Police presence at the (infamous) October meeting, which I shared w/many folks around the country. IMHO, & having lived in NH (for 26-1/2 yrs), NH cannot hold … Read more

“The State’s Motto Should be Live Stupid and Die”

October 20, 2021 Steve MacDonald

If masks work, shouldn’t you be able to enter any establishment wearing one, regardless of who is in it, and not fear the COVID reaper? I guess not. This individual shared this experience in Concord a few days ago…

New Hampshire chooses liberty

September 16, 2021September 16, 2021 Skip

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE Republican platform represents the values that my husband and I work hard every day to present to our three boys, both in words and action. I want to instill in my curious, thoughtful sons that fighting for what is right and standing up for those who can’t are the very essence to … Read more

‘Deep State’ Erodes the Meaning of ‘Live Free or Die’ Motto

August 27, 2021 Op-Ed

It is our constitutional responsibility to stop Executive Branch agencies from making rules that carry the weight of Law. Our New Hampshire Constitution clearly states,

Executive Council Voting Wednesday to Spend Another $844,000 to Convince You to Get The Jab™

August 20, 2021 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire has already spent $344,000.00 on marketing to convince Granite Stater’s to get The Jab™. But it wasn’t enough. We have not achieved the magic number of needled arms, so the Jabbernaughts want to fund a new ad campaign to win you over.

NH Bureau of Tourism Hates On the NH Motto – AGAIN!

August 18, 2021 Skip

UPDATE: I mentioned DJ Bettencourt at the end of this post – he had helped to fix this problem before, saw this post, and emailed back (emphasis mine):

It’s Not the NH State Motto “Kids” Need to Fear, It’s New Hampshire Democrats.

June 18, 2021 Steve MacDonald

If you’d like a window into the twisted reality of the Leftist mind, you need to look no further than this contrast. After a year of giving thugs room to destroy, locking people down, and saying things like silence is violence, Democrats want you to believe a state motto could increase suicides.

Is Overreach Threatening NH’s Quick and Strong Recovery?

May 18, 2021 Op-Ed

Our Constitutional Republic has faced many challenges in its lifetime. Back and forth the pendulum swings between political leanings, many of which have tested our resolve. However, the challenges facing our Republic and specifically the “Live Free or Die” state right now, can’t be more serious in our lifetime and that of our children.

I Thought Our Motto Here Is Live Free or Die! I Don’t See That Spirit in Action!

April 29, 2021 Op-Ed

I thought I’d drop you a note. I have to say that, as a new Granite Stater, I am quite surprised at the overwhelming number of folks here who have succumbed to the media hype and fear-mongering.

Quick Thought: What, You Haven’t Realized This Until Now? I’ve Been Saying This for Years!

Michael Graham has a post over at NH Journal (reformatted, emphasis mine): “DC vs. The 603: From Voting to Taxes to Minimum Wage, NHDems Back Feds Over Local Control.”

NH DOJ Has Page for COVID19 Scams But No Mention of Scams Run by State Government

January 18, 2021January 17, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Not every unscrupulous cad succeeds in running for public office. Many of them freelance. Those ‘scammers’ don’t use the law to separate you from your property or your rights, so they are outlaws. And in NH, your state too, I expect, we have a page to alert us about unauthorized COVID19 scams.
