Climate Hasn’t Changed in 80 Years…
Here on Monday, after the snowstorm blowing over the driveway, I sit here and recall a Letter To The Editor that I sent a week or two back stating the climate has not changed in all my 80 years. So, of course, the following week a writer scoffed at my observation. May I suggest that … Read more
Storm of the Century?
Five feet of snow in Buffalo NY and it’s still coming down out there. Roofs are collapsing, the power is off, emergency equipment is stuck in snow drifts and people are dying.
Promoted from the Comments – a Grab Bag. And More Moderating
I really like reading comments from you readers – witty, smart, and on point. I have to admit and apologize that I kinda fell down on reading and moderating the last couple of months, though. We had a volunteer that took over moderation for a number of months for me so I could write more, … Read more
Notable quote – I Just Wish That the GOP, Especially the NH GOP and Elected Republicans, Showed as Much of a Grasp on Things as Musk
Actually, several of them. And of course, being Elon Musk, it has to be in the form of tweets. Sidenote – He’s a brilliant guy – Telsa, SpaceX, Boring Machine, StarLink, and now Twitter. And with the latter, who knew he could be an insightful and amazing great comedian? He takes on all sorts of … Read more
The NHGOP Does NOT Want To Win
Here is a brilliant strategy … if you want to lose (AGAIN) in 2024. Continue to mock and insult Trump voters. Continue to pretend that the 2020 election was the safest, most secure, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, election in history, that Zuckerbucks didn’t matter, that the censorship of the Hunter laptop didn’t matter, etc. etc. etc.:

Culture and Politics: Healthy Man Identifies as a Disabled Woman
At least a few people are shaking their heads after the absence of a show of electoral strength by Republicans. Inflation, the economy, and abortion were on the ballot, and it looks like abortion won (at least around here). You’ll be wondering why.
Yeah, Gregg Hough still hasn’t learned the shovel/hole admonition.
He just keeps angering a whole bunch of folks in the Republican arena lately – unforced errors. I put a short list together here: Gov. Sununu said he wanted him defeated The NH House Freedom Caucus believes he’s nuts for picking a fight with GraniteGrok The Democrat PAC Citizens for Belknap (even after doing their bidding) marked him for … Read more
Bad Votes by Politics Before People Rosemarie Rung (D, Merrimack)
Merrimack Democrat Rosemarie Rung styles herself as a people before politics person, which is so absurd it is beyond laughable. If you don’t believe me, look at her voting record. It is a long trail of breadcrumbs that, when followed, leads to the truth.
Questions to Ask Yourself Before Getting into Politics
Some people are passionate about politics while others prefer not to talk about them at all. The subject can be divisive. However, if you are thinking about getting into politics as a career, you should think about the effect of politics on students as you study this field.
An Act of Desperation? A Sign That They Know Something’s Coming That the Rest of Us Don’t?
You don’t move from having the chutzpah of demanding that the entire Gunstock Area Commissioners resign en masse or demanding that the Belknap Delegation (made up of the NH State House Reps in Belknap County) remove them all to just two. Thanks to Stephen Hepburn, a Progressive transplant from Scotland, for bringing it to my … Read more
Dobbs Decision Means New Hampshire Will Get Bluer … And Why That’s A Good Thing
The leadership of the NHGOP wasted no time, after the Supreme Court’s Dodds decision was finally released, to assure us that New Hampshire will continue to allow abortion, for any reason, for the first 24 weeks:

Nineteen children, along with two teachers in the Uvalde, Texas Robb Elementary school, paid with their lives because gun control advocates base their legislation on the false premise that “guns kill people.”
An Open Letter to the IREHR (Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights)
Dear Sirs, It has been brought to my attention that your organization recently published a study finding that 875 state legislators representing all 50 states are members of far-right groups on Facebook. This is shocking. Really, truly, shocking. I applaud your efforts to expose these kinds of harmful opinions, and I strongly encourage you to … Read more
Flip Flop on Right Called Evolving on Left
When a Republican changes their mind on any subject, they are said to Flip Flop. Some feel that you should never reassess your position even if new data comes to light.
Parasitic Governance
There was a time when most of our government officials were serious people, serving in their elected and appointed roles after establishing their bona fides as successful, contributing members of society. Government service was not a path to personal enrichment, and Country came before Party.
Assisted Suicide is Now Available in Vermont after a Zoom Call with Dr. Death
If you qualify as terminally ill (a definition that can change in a heartbeat – life is after all a terminal condition), Vermont has made it easier to obtain physician-assisted suicide drugs!
