What If They Failed To Pass A Budget, And Nobody Cared Or Even Noticed?

July 7, 2019 Ed Mosca

So Governor Sununu vetoed the budget passed by the Democrat legislature, which I often refer to as the #SocialistBudget: It would have been nice if Sununu had also given as a reason for the veto that the #SocialistBudget would force taxpayers to pay for abortions, but I suppose that wouldn’t be “woke” and Team-Sununu is … Read more

VP Mike Pence’ NH Visit Cancelled Due to Security Threat in Salem New Hampshire

July 7, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Vice President Mike Pence canceled a visit to New Hampshire at the last minute. By which we mean the plane was in the air and turned around at the last minute. War with Iran? No. But the latest speculation is that there was a security threat in Salem.

Proposed Water Standards Would Cost New Hampshire’s Taxpayers Hundreds of Millions

July 7, 2019 Steve MacDonald

To borrow from Mitch McDeere, the protagonist in John Grisham’s The Firm, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) ridiculous new water standards is a topic that’s “not sexy, but it’s got teeth.” Sharp enough to cost NH taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

Wanna-Be Democrat State Rep Condones Violence Against Women

July 7, 2019 Ed Mosca

I took a certain Eric Gallagher to task here for using the Democrat strategy of screeching RACIST to avoid defending illegal immigration. I didn’t have the time then to note another beauty from young Mr. Gallagher who aspires to be a Democrat State Rep.: Rogers plead guilty to assaulting Susan Olsen, a 2nd Amendment activist, … Read more

Turning up the Heat: 80 Hours Into July 2019 Grok Exceeds Traffic for all of July 2018

July 5, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Let me begin by saying thank you. In the first 3+ days of July of 2019, we surpassed our total traffic for all of July 2018. It is news that will alarm many on the left. Good.

Wanna See a Leftist Backpedal?

July 3, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Yesterday, Merrimack State Rep Rosemarie Rung (contact info) called Trump supporters traitors (here) because the President visited North Korea. Now, wouldn’t you think that after the past 20+ years of war and conflict, this sort of diplomacy would be applauded over saber-rattling and war-mongering? But if Trump had instead decided to call an airstrike on … Read more

Today Governor Sununu Signed Twenty Bills and Vetoed Eight

June 25, 2019June 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I’m not familiar with everything on the list of bills that left the Governor’s desk today. But I do recognize a few of the vetoed bills and New Hampshire should be happy he rejected them.

2019: New Hampshire “Most Patriotic State” in the Nation (How’d Your State Do?)

June 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire popping up on a “best of” list is not new. Best for low overall taxes, high quality of life, low poverty, outstanding health outcomes, and more recently, an excellent growing increasingly business-friendly state economy. This number one ranking for Most patriotic seems like another feather in the cap.

Did You Know Supreme Court Nominee Gordon MacDonald Supports a STATE Constitutional Right to Abortion?

June 23, 2019 Ed Mosca

This: Actually, Roe -with its trimester scheme for abortion: abortion on demand in 1st trimester; only regulations to protect mother’s health in 2nd trimester; restrictions/prohibitions on abortion with exceptions for “health of mother” in 3rd trimester- was replaced in 1992 by Planned Parenthood vs. Casey’s “undue burden” standard. But I digress. The thing to keep … Read more

NH Judge Rules Pistol/Revolver Licenses Do Not Require ‘Issuing Authority’ Signature

June 18, 2019June 18, 2019 Kimberly Morin

Today, in a court case at Rockingham County Court, Judge Marguerite Wageling ruled that signatures of the issuing authority (mayor, police chief or selectman) are not required on pistol/revolver licenses. The case was brought by Cheryl Dean of Northwood against Northwood’s Chief of Police, Glendon Drolet, because Drolet refused to sign Dean’s renewed pistol/revolver license. … Read more

Stop Calling It an “Independent Redistricting Commission” … It’s Anything But

June 16, 2019 Ed Mosca

So I saw this tweet from NHPR (which should be NHDR as in New Hampshire Democrat Radio) this morning: Other “press” have described it the same way, as have the bill’s (HB 706) supporters. They are NOT telling the truth. Here is how the members of the commission are chosen: 662-B:2 Eligibility to Serve on … Read more

NH’s Gun Control Queen Ignores the Obvious

June 16, 2019June 16, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Yesterday, NH State Rep. Deb Altschiller (D-Stratham) and fellow Leftists were attending the NH Progressive Summit when news about a shooting in a California Costco came out. The queen of NH gun control quickly took to Twitter to capitalize on the tragic event. First, how is it possible that a shooting took place in California, … Read more

Say Hello to the Claremont Income Tax … and Thank You to our Wonderful Attorney General

June 16, 2019 Ed Mosca

So last week, a single Superior Court Judge decided he was the State’s Education-Czar and implicitly ordered -while, of course, claiming he was doing no such thing- the State to -at a minimum- triple spending on public education … which would require a massive expansion in spending by State government (at least an additional $1.6 … Read more

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

June 15, 2019 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

Did the Senate Cram Funding for a New Hampshire Pet Czar into the State Budget?

June 15, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Remember the Domestic Pet Czar Bill? It’s an oppressive bit of legislative gymnastics that we managed to get keel-hauled this session. It’s not dead, never was, but part of it may have been resurrected and stuffed into the state budget.

She’s Running … For Governor

June 9, 2019 Ed Mosca

This: Actually I beat Boston-Jimbo to the punch: But the point is this: There is no way that Ray Buckley is going to let a straight, white male -never mind a straight white male who supports an income tax- be his Party’s nominee in 2020. While Buckley may come across as a deranged, drunken misogynist … Read more

Vote Fraud in NH is Just Armed Robbery by Another Name

July 31, 2019June 8, 2019 Steve MacDonald

If you made armed robbery legal, no one would ever get charged. But force would still be used to relieve people of their property against their will. That is also true for vote fraud in New Hampshire. By making it legal to steal votes, it is increasingly unlikely that anyone will ever get charged.

Refugee Resettlement to New Hampshire Drops 70% Under Trump

June 4, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Refugee resettlement is one of those issues most Democrats should be challenged on regularly. The majority of the resettlement agencies get paid billions in government money annually – taxpayer cash paid to religious groups, sans the typical liberal outrage to dump refugees on local communities.

Today is 603 Day – Or Something. Anyone? Anything? Bueller?

June 3, 2019 Steve MacDonald

May the 4th is Star Wars Day. June 3rd is 6/03 day. Or 603 Day. It is the calendar date that matches our states single area code. At least that’s what I’m hearing. I confess to having never known this until today.

Grafton Dem Holds All Gun Owners ‘Responsible’ and ‘Accountable’ for the Actions of Killers

June 1, 2019June 1, 2019 Kimberly Morin

Within seconds after the horrific mass killing in a Virginia Beach Municipal Building, the gun control crowd reared their ugly, ignorant, hateful heads and dipped their hands in the blood of the victims to push gun control in order to create even more victims. Before even knowing any of the details of the killings or … Read more
