Balsams’ Boondoggle: Does Les Otten Have a New Scam Going?

Yesterday, the Caledonian reported that the Balsams was up for sale.  You remember the ongoing saga of the Balsams, where failed Maine ‘entrepreneur’ Les Otten was demanding New Hampshire taxpayers back his multi-million $$ boondoggle through legislation sought by nitwitted legislators from both sides of the aisle? Groksters wrote many articles about the adventures of … Read more

Ann Kuster’s “Woodburn” Problem: She Didn’t “Believe” His Accuser (Not Really)

The Editors, New Hampshire State Sen. Jeff Woodburn’s district encompasses a significant chunk on Congresswoman Ann Kuster’s Congressional District. So, what? Annie has spent the better part of the last month using words like temperament, discussing moral character, and the importance of believing women who accuse men of sexual or domestic violence. But Ann Kuster does … Read more

Was Dem Sen. Jeff Woodburn’s ‘Accuser’ Trying to Make Him do the Laundry?

Not that long ago the Democrat Mayor of Berlin, New Hampshire announced that the domestic abuse survivor of State Sen. Jeff Woodburn was not his female victim. It was Jeff Woodburn, the accused.

If only Woodburn were a nominee for the Supreme court, eh? We’d see buttons that say I believe “insert name here.” But the cabal of political insiders we’ve been discussing do not think so. Their champion is not the woman; it’s the great big, white guy who outweighs his alleged victim by 100 pounds and wait until you hear the latest.

If NH Dems Vote for Jeff Woodburn Are They Declaring a War on Women?

Jeff Woodburn is accused of domestic violence so if North Country New Hampshire Dems vote for Woodburn over the female primary challenger, what does that tell us? If Woodburn were a Republican and voters passed on a woman so they could vote for a man (arrested on nine counts of domestic violence) they’d all be pig-bigots … Read more

Jeff Woodburn’s Domestic Abuse Posse Discover ‘Stand Your Ground’ (sort of)

Before Democrats could have a choice between embattled incumbent Jeff Woodburn and any other candidate, there would have to be an “other” candidate. Woodburn, when accused of nine counts of domestic abuse, was unopposed. After the Attorney General announced the arrest and charges Kathleen Kelley stepped up to give North Country Democrats a choice.

Would it surprise you to know that Democrat party insiders don’t like choice?

Berlin NH Mayor Names Victim of Woodburn Domestic Violence – It’s Not Who You Think

“This is disgraceful what’s happening,” Grenier said. “It was sealed at the request of the so-called victim and the real victim here is Sen. Woodburn.” – Democrat Paul Grenier: Mayor, Berlin NH

Typically, when the professional Left is after a name, a donor or donor list, for example, it’s so they can intimidate them, pillory them, and (in extreme cases) drive them from their jobs and homes. Destroy them publicly, professionally, all over what amounts to a talking point, a narrative, political power.

Keep that in mind as we explore efforts (one more time) by North Country Democrats and media allies to unmask and openly report the name of a woman whose ‘crime’ is being the victim of domestic abuse. A woman whom some Democrats appear intent on destroying because she stands between them and the election of her accused abuser.

North Country Writer Points to Springfield MA Casino As Proof Of Something…

A north country writer made the case today, in the Union Leader, that the opening of a new Casino in Springfield, Massachusetts is proof that the casino market is not oversaturated in New England.

I spoke with someone who has lived most of their life around Springfield with deep ties to the community. The local buzz down there is that even the casino operators think New England is probably oversaturated.

Yes, Jim Rubens and I had a bit of a dust up over his calling for Corporate Welfare

rubensSteve alluded to it here and I DID have the intention of putting up the thread but, well, with the start of putting in new technology, things rolled off my “table” as it were. It was all about Gov. Sununu doing the right thing and denying wood electrical generational plants a subsidy.  No, not one that would have come directly from the State of NH but one in which the State would force us all to give our own personal money to them via higher electrical costs.  The fact that the House and the Senate, and the Republicans therein, decided “This Is A Great Idea!” is awful, given the NH GOP Platform:
