In September, Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut spoke to the Brentwood Republican Committee. I don’t hang out there, but Frank had just announced his non-candidacy for Governor, and a neighbor and fellow Grokster was aching to understand the skullduggery behind the move and offered me a ride to the event.

The State of New Hampshire Needs To Clean Up Its Act
According to his LinkedIn Profile, Donald Sullivan worked as an “Independent Compliance Overseer” for St. Paul’s School, Concord New Hampshire from January 2021 to October 2023. The AG of New Hampshire and St. Paul’s School also have him listed in this position for the same period of time.
Organized Crime within New Hampshire’s Courts
Dear Ethics Committee,
It has become apparent that the New Hampshire courts do not respect the separation of powers and that there is, iI beleive, a racketeering enterprise going on that stems back to and involves current NH Supreme Court Chief Justice Gordon MacDonald.
Schrödinger’s Cat and John Fetterman
Newly elected Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) may be both dead and alive, according to various pundits, nurses, seers, and medical men. As a fellow who enjoys physics, this reminds me of one of the greatest thought experiments of all time – the tale of Schrödinger’s cat.
Carbon Taxes Abandon GOP Principles
Earlier this week, The Hill published an article saying that College Republicans across the country were backing a group called Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends. Here in New Hampshire, College Republicans have been speaking up against this group, because we know that Carbon Dividends are bad for the party, bad for New Hampshire, and bad … Read more
Why I’m Not A Socialist
Recently, Senator Jeanne Dietsch wrote an article about how she isn’t a libertarian (her voting record already let us know that). Her first thought is that libertarian is bad because it was responsible for slavery. I think we need to back up and explain to Senator Dietsch what a traditional libertarian might mean. Foremost, it … Read more
Let’s Bring Common Sense to Penacook and Concord
Penacook has been overlooked, and as a Marine and a father with a child in the school system, I hope to change that.
FB Doodlings: Sue Ragen thinks an 18 year old should continue to be infantilized? More on the Rachel Phelan issue
To recap: Rachel Phelan, and 18 year old high school student wrote on Op-Ed about the negotiations between the Manchester teachers and the Manchester School Board. Rich Girard, head of those negotiations for the School Board, emailed her to correct some factual errors. Then it blew up and David Scannell decided he could leak a private letter from Phelan’s lawyer, giving us even more fodder on which to opine. And Steve did, Manchester Democrat(s) Using a Student for a Political Smear is the Scandal, and on Facebook. And a Sue Regan decided she could take us to task for even bringing attention to this fiasco of Democrat making (reformatted, emphasis mine):
What’s really sad is an adult in a position of power felt the need to respond to a student’s editorial directly to the student. I don’t care if legally she is an adult.
Well, there you go – right in line with Progressive thinking – adults are only children and must be treated as such. That’s really their superior hubris in thinking finally coming to fruition. I’m a Boomer and I couldn’t WAIT to be considered an adult – not so much any more. It’s the realization of their governing philosophy – they are the adults and everyone else is a child.
Spec Bowers – Silly Editorial About O’Brien
(Excellent editorial by State Rep Spec Bowers to the Concord Monitor. Copied from Spec’s Facebook page)
Spec Bowers Op Ed; Silly Editorial About O’Brien
The Monitor’s April 5 editorial about House Speaker Bill O’Brien is one of the sillier ones of the last year and a half. It reminds me of the old legal adage, “When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. When the law is on your side, pound the law. When neither is on your side, pound the table.”
The Democrats – with the Monitor following closely behind – have not had good arguments on their side for the last year and a half, so they have chosen to pound O’Brien.
