MACDONALD: “The Vaccine Schedule” as a Warning

You might be able to pass it off as another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I Said, NH Was Trending Right – But The Entire Country Has Too!

Back in August, I noted that NH Republicans had pulled to a practical parity with the Democrats in voter registration this past year: Interesting.  I was actually scurrying around the NH Secretary of State site looking for something else (dang if I can remember now) when I thought this was what I wanted.

Frank Edelblut Should Get Back in the Race

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. Frank gave a talk, not on … Read more
