Granitegrok was accused earlier today of being (for the sake of brevity) Republican Party bitches. Anyone who has spent any amount of time here, even just this past legislative session, will know how absurd the notion is.

Wage Growth Highest Since 2009 – Consumer Confidence Soars to Highest in 18 Years
If Democrats were hoping for a pre-election push from today’s job numbers they got it, but in the wrong direction. Hiring accelerated in October and the unemployment rate held at a 49-year low, signs of a strengthening labor market that delivered U.S. workers the best pay raises in nearly a decade. U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased … Read more
VIDEO: We Have Two Choices on November 6th
Very powerful, truthful video about the difference between Republicans and Democrats. You’ve been witnessing the behavior of the left for the past two years. They haven’t stopped. They continue to march on with their ‘Resistance’ rather than working with Republicans to make things better for the people they are supposed to represent. Electing Democrats is … Read more
Fact: More American’s Getting Health Care Coverage Under Trump and Republicans
Democrat’s have been swearing up and down the campaign trail that Republicans are destroying Health Care. But, like most of the words that pass between the lips of those crowding the political left, it just ain’t so. Under President Trump and the Republican Congress more American’s have health coverage and health care options. The total number of Americans with health … Read more
How ‘Bi-Partisan’ is Ann Kuster…?
How ‘Bipartisan’ is Ann Kuster? She can’t even name a Republican she admires. Roger Wilkins, Steve Negron’s general consultant, released the following statement: “Listening to Congresswoman Ann Kuster stumble over her words as she unsuccessfully tried to come up with just a single Republican she ‘admires’ in Congress would be laughable if it wasn’t so … Read more
The Left’s Storm Troopers Attack NYC GOP Headquarters
Hillary said no Peace until we win and Antifa is always ready to put the proof in the progressive pudding. Far-left activists associated with Antifa and other radical hate groups attacked the Republican Party headquarters in New York City late Thursday evening; vandalizing the historic building and warning the incident was “merely the beginning.” Yes, … Read more
GOTV for Republicans as if your Life Depended on it
As most of you know, I’m a lifelong Independent who absolutely excoriates any politician who deservers it, regardless of party. If you’ve read anything I’ve written, you’ve seen it. If you follow any of my social media accounts, you’ve seen it LIVE.
Throughout my voting life as an Independent, I have voted for Democrats, Libertarians, Independents and Republicans (the Green Party is a joke). I have always, ALWAYS voted based on a candidate. It is something my father taught me when I asked him how I should register to vote before I turned 18.
After the Kavanaugh hearings last week, that all changed.
Unhinged and Unstable Equals Dangerous
The Democrat Party is unhinged. Unstable leftists are listening. It has become dangerous to be a Republican or a Conservative. With Maxine Waters’ caustic rhetoric, Violence is now all but inevitable. Unhinged is the 69-Year-Old College Professor in Las Vegas who shot himself because he doesn’t like Trump. Left-wing Nut job James Hodgkinson shot Rep. … Read more
Blue Collar Job Growth Highest in 30 years
The Trump economy can add another feather to its cap. The growth of traditional blue collar jobs has reached its highest rate since Ronald Reagan was President.
Jobs in goods-producing industries — mining, construction, and manufacturing — grew 3.3 percent in the year preceding July, the best rate since 1984, according to a Washington Post analysis.
Josh Moore: The Culture War
It has been my honor to serve as State Representative of the beautiful town of Merrimack for the last four years. During that time I served on the house education committee. I fought for the rights of parents in education, choice for all children, and for the teaching of civics to be a priority in our schools. I fought for core values outside of education such as marriage, the sanctity of life, and the protection of our second amendment rights.
I entered office seeking unity with my party. However, I quickly realized that finding common ground on our most basic platform principles, like fiscal responsibility, was difficult. This past session, with a majority in both houses and a Republican governor, we still lost the fight on right-to-work, Medicaid expansion, and other fiscal and social issues.
I began to examine the fact that we, the conservative Republicans, kept losing essential votes, and where the problems within our government originated.
Notable Quote – Tom Palmer
“As you go through life, chances are almost 100 percent that you act like a libertarian. You might ask what it means to “act like a libertarian.” It’s not that complicated. You don’t hit other people when their behavior displeases you. You don’t take their stuff. You don’t lie to them to trick them into letting you take their stuff, or defraud them, or knowingly give them directions that cause them to drive off of a bridge. You’re just not that kind of a person.
Poll are saying that Democrats are the least patriotic Americans. They’ll hate this little clip
(H/T: Instapundit)
Can’t get a lot more patriotic than this – and from Hollywood, too! That is, the Hollywood of yore when actors actually (GASP!) served in the US military). As to the Gallup poll:
Grok Poll (Works, Now!)- Would You Vote Republican In Nov. to Keep Nancy Pelosi from Becoming Speaker?
Update – Sorry for not realizing the poll was fubar. I believe this has been corrected and you should be able to vote now. If not please let me know.
It’s still early but the current forecast shows the U.S. House could flip to a Democrat Majority by one seat.
That one seat probably makes Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the Chamber which means New Hampshire could decide whether or not we get two years of her radical nonsense or the nation is saved from her clownish leadership.
Does that matter to you?
Notable Quote – Keith Hanson
Republicans may hold office, but Democrats hold the power. Republicans, despite holding the majority, continue to defer to Democrats (seemingly out of decency) when they should utilize the majority to their advantage, the exact same way that Democrats would if the majority were in their favor. -Keith Hanson, radio talk show host and activist.

Sorry NH Women but some Republican Men say ‘F**K Your Feelings’
Last week Republican MEN decided to pass House Bill 1319 (HB 1319) aka the Gender Identity bill in order to allow biological men who ‘feel’ like women to gain access to women-only sex-segregated spaces. Apparently, the feelings of these biological men are far more important than the women whose spaces they will be allowed to occupy.
Of course, women have been using women-only spaces like bathrooms with trans women for years without a problem but an out-of-state multi-millionaire wanted to use Republicans as an experiment to see how many moron Republicans it takes to push legislation that infringes upon Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion and women’s rights.
Healthcare In New Hampshire: A Brief History
By Aaron Day
Today the Republicans lead the charge to re-authorize Obamacare Medicaid expansion. The budget for New Hampshire for the past 27 years is built on a funding mechanism that borrows billions from children and ignores making real structural changes. Our healthcare system would be better and less expensive if we didn’t rely on the Federal Government and opened up the state to free markets in healthcare.
Here is a brief history of how New Hampshire got here. We will have to deal with this eventually. It is up to us to decide if we will address proactively or from a position of absolute crisis.
HB628 Was Never About Creating a Family Medical Leave Insurance Program.
Since late 2017, leading up to today, we’ve written or shared at least twenty-three articles opposing HB628, the so-called Family Medical Leave Act. This makes (at least) twenty-four. Why so many? Until very recently neither the governor nor Republican Majority leadership had made a noise that wasn’t fawning.
And while a recent joint committee vote to ITL the bill has people singing praises, until the floor vote adds a final stake (at least for this session) I’m not convinced it’s dead with good reason.
Sununu: Can’t Support HB628 (Family Medical Leave Bill) “As Written” – But I Want More
Governor Chris Sununu has informed the State Senate Finance Committee looking at HB628 that as written he won’t support it.
“I cannot support HB 628 until a comprehensive actuarial analysis is conducted,” …
That’s not a rejection of the idea of a state mandate but niggling over details. A point he affirms later in the same reporting.
