What Losing Looks Like … The Low-T NHGOP

by Ed Mosca

So here is one of the “leaders” of the NewHampshire House GOP … Ross Berry, who is the Chairman of two committees … whining about the Democrats’ LIES. In other words, he is playing DEFENSE. That’s what losers do … they are always on the back foot, explaining, complaining: that’s not true, that’s not fair, … Read more

Rep. Nicole Klein Knight’s (At Best) Appalling Ignorance

by Ed Mosca

As a preliminary matter, I am aware that Rep. Nicole’s tweet appeared in a post by another author regarding her and other NH-Democrats’ reactions to the Rittenhouse verdict. But I think it is worth taking a deeper look at Rep. Nicole’s tweet.

Every insinuation in Meuse’s tweet is a LIE.

A Small Victory for Liberty

by Norm Silber

In an opinion released this morning, the NH Supreme Court reversed an order of the Superior Court that had dismissed a suit brought against the Speaker of the NH House challenging the adoption of a rule that prohibited members of the House from carrying or possessing weapons anywhere in the Statehouse. The putative basis for … Read more

NH-Democrats Have a New Way to Call You Racist – “Unconscious Bias”

by Ed Mosca

So this: Get it? Unconscious bias. You’re a racist, but sadly you aren’t even aware you are a racist. But fortunately the NH-Democrats … who, just ask them, are smarter than you, morally superior to you, more courageous than you … know unconscious bias when they see it. And they can help. With unconscious bias … Read more

NH House Forced to Pull All-Nighter Because Speaker Pocket-Stalin Wasted a Day on Show-Trials … FakeNews Blames GOP

by Ed Mosca

A few weeks ago (2/20/20), Speaker of the New Hampshire House Steve Shurtleff aka “Pocket-Stalin” devoted a day to conducting Soviet-style show-trials of GOP Reps who refused to comply with an obviously unconstitutional House Rule: We learned that the reprimand was scheduled for 1:30 and that the press was invited in. The procedures for these … Read more

Steve “Pocket-Stalin” Shurtleff Disgraces Himself and Makes a Mockery of the N.H. House By Holding Soviet-Style Show Trials

by Ed Mosca

Yesterday Speaker Steve Shurtleff earned the moniker I use for him … Pocket-Stalin … by spending half a day conducting Soviet-style show-trials of the handful of GOP Reps who had the courage of their convictions NOT to attend the House’s reeducation camps (House Rule 67). In a recent post, I demonstrated that House Rule 67 … Read more

Abortion Amendment Gets Thumbs Down in Committee

by Ellen Kolb

Cross-posted from Leaven for the Loaf: The House Judiciary Committee on February 5 voted 18-2 to send an “inexpedient to legislate” recommendation to the full House on CACR 14, a proposed abortion amendment to the New Hampshire constitution. A vote in the full House is likely within weeks.

Dear GOP House Reps: You are NOT Required to Attend Speaker Shurtleff’s Reeducation Camps

by Ed Mosca

So last week Ethan DeWitt of the Concord Monitor vented on twitter about House GOP (1) not all following the House Rule for mandatory “harassment” and “discrimination” “training”:  67. All legislators, legislative officers, and legislative staff shall attend in-person education and training regarding sexual and other unlawful harassment and discrimination. and (2) some attending an … Read more

Time: 1 p.m. … Read more

Meet the GOP Reps Who Voted to Raise the SOLAR-SUBSIDY TAX

by Ed Mosca

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

Again, N.H. House says No to abortion statistics

by Ellen Kolb

Cross-posted from Leaven for the Loaf: Naysayers gonna Nay. Given an opportunity to include abortion statistics in a bill regarding collection of health care data, the New Hampshire House ran in the other direction this week. Left unaddressed was the question of why so many representatives who think abortion is health care don’t want to … Read more

Steve Shurtleff Flouts the First Amendment

by Ed Mosca

This: This obviously is viewpoint discrimination because, to show you one example, this Leftist troll account is not blocked: Just as New Hampshire Democrats do not really believe in the Second Amendment, they do not believe in the First Amendment. I am sure that many GOP State Reps regularly read Granite Grok. It will be … Read more

The Vote That Really Mattered Last Week (Hint It Wasn’t The Gun Ban)

by Ed Mosca

O.K. Misleading title. “Mattered” in the sense that the vote is predictive of how effective an opposition the minority GOP in the New Hampshire House can be. As a threshold matter, I know the House Rules are not subject to a veto, which I note to avoid the comment “he doesn’t even know House Rules … Read more

Follow-up on Thursday’s Numbers

by Ellen Kolb

NHGOP WoodshedBrief epilogue to my last post:

What’s the concur/nonconcur/Committee of Conference vote on the therapy ban bill, HB 587?

HB 587 is on its way to Governor Sununu’s desk. It could strip professional licensing from any counselor whose words to a gender-questioning child are deemed insufficiently supportive of gender reassignment. That’s the absurd vagueness of this so-called “conversion therapy” bill.

Watching for Thursday’s House Numbers

by Ellen Kolb

I’m an indie voter with some passionately Republican friends who held forth this morning about the need to back the GOP in November, etc. etc. etc. I just let them talk. Good people, strong convictions, lots of enthusiasm. But you wanna sell some voters on the GOP? Let’s see a few numbers after this week’s … Read more

Stellllllaaaaaaaa!

by Steve MacDonald

Democrats are not (NOT)  suggesting that Democrat Dick Patten resign–he is accused of stalking and what amounts to sexual harassment.

“A city man has received a temporary stalking order against Rep. Dick Patten, D-Concord, after the man complained Patten allegedly tried to kiss him and was repeatedly calling and texting him, according to the Concord Monitor, which broke the story Tuesday.”

(The Democrats may have managed to spike that story about Dick in major media so it would not outshine the Tremblay remarks that they wanted to push.  No comment on that either.)

Democrats did not suggest that Rep Cynthia Chase resign when she said straight out that Democrats and the state government could use the power of the state to”…make the environment here so unwelcoming that some will choose not to come, and some may actually leave.”  The Castro brothers would have loved that.   And that was awfully embarrassing to New Hampshire.  Chase is still in office isn’t she?  Oh yea…here she is, a few weeks ago, doing the “peoples” work.

But they are trying to get Rep. Stella Tremblay to resign for simply remarking on Glenn Becks web site that the government is somehow involved in the goings-on with the Boston Marathon Bombing.

So Dick may be guilty of a crime.   Cynthia Chase is guilty of fomenting legislative tyranny.  Stella is guilty of exercising free speech and not trusting the government.   It’s a typical day in the hypocrats tyrannical, left-wing, homosexual bullying neighborhood.
