My town, Merrimack, holds its SB2 elections later than most. Town election season in New Hampshire begins while the snow still flies and peaks in March, so an early April poll date is late for supper.

New Cross Referenced List and Merrimack Reps.
Think of me as the guy who doesn’t always drink beer, but when he does, he prefers Dos Equis. It’s funny I should think of that because I am presently a paying customer in the new Mexican joint in the Bertucci’s building on Amherst Street, using their Wi-Fi hot spot because my former employer’s product is being a POS.
Merrimack Should Reject School Budgets Until They Can Teach Kids to Read …
Usually, when you hire someone to do something, and they don’t or can’t do it, you do not then give them more responsibility or reward them with additional revenue. But let’s say you do, and they fail again and again. At what point do you stop rewarding failure?
Defund the Police (Chief)!
That’s right, I said that. If the Hollis Police Chief doesn’t care to serve and protect Hollis until the moment of his upcoming retirement, I say that his retirement should be defunded. Chief Hoebeke appears(looks and acts) like his Merrimack counterpart, Chief Levesque.
SEL is Draining Tax Dollars from the Merrimack School Budget
Social and Emotional Learning is the latest fad in public education. SEL is considered Tier 1 in a three-tiered mental health framework for students attending public schools. Money for this initiative came through a federal grant several years ago, but as those funds dried up guess who is left to fund these initiatives? The local taxpayers.
Rumor: Local Police Chief’s Policy Is to Prevent Officers From Enforcing Federal Immigration Laws or Detainer Requests!
SB 563, a ban on sanctuary cities, predictably advanced in a 14-10 roll call last week to Senate Finance, but not without the expected drama in the chamber. You can click here and skip to 4:56:20 for almost a whole hour of debate, but you already know the outcome.
NH Civics is at it Again…Now They Want to Promote Group Therapy for Children in Public Schools
With the desperate call to improve Civics Education for students in New Hampshire, you would think one of the most prominent Civics organizations would be at the forefront of making sure our students are literate in this important subject.
Deteriorating … Mental Health, Privacy, and Parental Consent in Public Schools
As schools begin the shift to providing mental health services, parents need to be aware of some big problems that have been uncovered. Personally identifiable mental health information on students has already been shared, but schools are still failing to acquire informed parental consent for their child’s mental health assessments and services.
Essentials for Liberty
In my 87 years of life, one of the most important lessons I learned early, taught to me by my late brother who wasted the tremendous talent God blessed him with: It’s easy to become happy while you’re drinking, but New Year’s Day you wake up with the same problems and a headache.
Local Democrat Loses His Right to Vote for Election Interference
The case of a local Democrat who interfered in a special election back in 2021 has finally concluded. Michael Drouin has pleaded guilty to knowingly blocking campaign communications on the day of that NH House special election in Merrimack.
Early Voting Election Day Update – Merrimack, NH
I just got back from voting (around 8 am – Middle School, Merrimack). Turnout was good and steady, but wait times were short for both parking and inside the polling place. I was there for maybe five minutes – and most of that time was filling in the little ovals (I’m slow and cautious about that).
Bad Votes by Nancy Murphy (D, Merrimack)
For all her ideological faults, Rosie Rung tends to get the most Democrat votes in town, which is why she is the only Democrat from our district in the State House. We have had more, and one of them is back, having hitched her equally flawed ideological wagon to Rung. Smart or dumb?
Bad Votes by Politics Before People Rosemarie Rung (D, Merrimack)
Merrimack Democrat Rosemarie Rung styles herself as a people before politics person, which is so absurd it is beyond laughable. If you don’t believe me, look at her voting record. It is a long trail of breadcrumbs that, when followed, leads to the truth.
Rung and Murphy Campaign Signs Should Say “We Block” People over Politics
Merrimack Democrats Rosemarie Rung and Nancy Murphy are sharing namespace on campaign signs for 2022. These things popped up like weeds this past week. They’ve got a tagline that’s just a friggin riot.
My Personal Endorsements for Tuesday’s Primary
GraniteGrok has issued a number of sitewide endorsements, more than we typically do. Skip has published his, and we’ve had a few other authors make some endorsements of candidates for New Hampshire’s last in the nation primary. My turn.
Merrimack High School Teacher “Expects” Students to Use Preferred Pronouns
A ninth Grade Merrimack High School “English” teacher (SAU 26) gave students a sheet with some expectations for the class. It included contact information, supplies needed, a course description, and a section titled ‘Class Policies.’
The Rising Number of Public School Vaxx Clinics And the Lack of Informed Consent and Privacy Rights Protections
My local school district is one of many promoting a vaccine clinic on school property to Jab as many 5+ residents as possible. But the injection is still EUA or emergency use only. It is. Stop lying. And absent proper informed consent, jabbing even one person is unethical and should be criminal.
“Y” is the Merrimack YMCA Enforcing Nashua’s Mask Mandate When It is Not In Nashua?
Here’s a big bowl of stupid for you on this lovely if not a bit too (freaking bitter) cold Thursday morning. As you probably know, Nashua reinstituted a cite-wide mask mandate (some reporting on that here). But Merrimack didn’t. So, what’s up with this?
VICTORY! – Merrimack School Board Votes To End Contract with Radical Organization
Parents learned about the radical agenda that 2Revolutions has when it comes to their push for Critical Race Theory. If you recall, the 2Rev documents label parents as covert white supremacists if they hold certain views that are pretty mainstream.
To the Merrimack School Board (and others): NO to the Jab!
This is an edited and enhanced version of a handout I created and which was given around at the Merrimack School Board meeting on September 20. I intend to break apart the handout into topical posts (jabs, masks, etc.) while folding in new information as I find it.
