NH in 2020 has made a significant shift to the right with the Republican Party now holding not only the Governor’s office but also wielding control of the Executive Council, State Senate, and the State House.

And You Are Proud of That?

November 6, 2020 Ed Mosca

I took a few breaks from watching Team-Biden stealing the election Tuesday night to check #nhpolitics on Twitter. I kept seeing tweets from Sununu’s kiddie-corps celebrating Sununu winning Democrat cities and towns. Some examples: The question raised by these results is: “WHY?” More specifically, did Sununu win all these Democrat towns and cities because as … Read more

November 6, 2020November 6, 2020 Ed Mosca

There were three main reasons Chris Sununu won reelection as Governor of New Hampshire in a landslide: The first is COVID. Nationally, Democrats used COVID as a political weapon.

Will the NH High Court Allow Fully Remote Legislative Sessions or Do They Violate the Constitution?

October 26, 2020 Steve MacDonald

If you missed it, in late September, Democrat leadership advanced a motion, rammed through might be a better turn of phrase, to request an opinion of the State’s High Court. Mother May I go to a full remote session without violating Part II, Article 20 of the NH Constitution (achieving a quorum). Problem? Plenty of them.

Real New Englanders can’t stand new people

October 24, 2020October 24, 2020 Op-Ed

If you did a big dig on us “as people” up here, us natives, you’d see that we just have this long history of not liking new people. I read some history over in Vermont one time where they were talking about the differences between NH and VT and the writer told the story about the railroad coming up here and how this was really the beginning of what would become

October 17, 2020 Ed Mosca

Do you remember the ConVal education funding lawsuit?

October 11, 2020 Steve MacDonald

In the early days of October, Bernie Sanders came to the Granite State to Campaign for Joe Biden. Bernie has a lot of Granite State Groupies. Folks who would show up to see him regardless of why he was here. But they didn’t show up.
