Candidate for Merrimack County Sheriff If you feel elections don’t change the fundamental problem with government – that there is no accountability – you aren’t alone. As a state representative (2022-24), I saw firsthand how state law was blatantly ignored and real oversight prevented by the bureaucratic establishment. Yet, there is an effective way to … Read more
The trial of Lindsay Clancy is gripping America and is the lead story on nearly every newscast. Unfortunately, this sad story will not end when the jury returns with its verdict, as the nine-woman and three-man jury deliberating in Plymouth, Massachusetts, will probably return a not-guilty verdict. Having served on a jury for a month … Read more

Unfinished certification, no parts list, and a Secretary of State who programs, verifies, audits, and clerks the review The New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission meets Thursday, September 17, at 1:00 p.m. at the State Archives Building, 9 Ratification Way, Concord. The public should be there. The Commission approves the machines that count our paper ballots. … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, Canada has been ripping us off for years, so the latest trade spat with the Great White North includes renaming the lake formerly known (on our side) as Ontario. How could I not do a Morning Update about that? Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does … Read more

As if the new abortion laws do not sicken a sane person with a modicum of respect for life, the passed or planned euthanasia laws around the world will make you skip a meal. You have to really question the moral upbringing of a person who has so little concern for life that they are … Read more
First, the most obvious and charged question: Does NBC support the sexual grooming of minors? In her write-up covering a “Reagan-appointed” judge striking down Texas SB12, NBC News’ Raquel Coronell Uribe mentions “drag” five times and gives children and minors zero mention. The issue with that is that the law – designed to limit “sexually oriented performances” … Read more
It’s usually the whiny white liberal women who get the attention. The AWFLs. But there are more than a few of those who are a horse of a different color. Or a horse face, perhaps. Michelle “of the toned arms” Obama was praised endlessly by the press. Fawned over. And while First Lady Melania is … Read more
Governor Kathy Hochul of New York and Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston share a serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Unfortunately for their constituents, they are letting this malady interfere with their job of keeping the people of New York and Boston safe. This situation stems from an ongoing battle with ICE. It has … Read more
We’ve talked a lot about Democrats and their liberal judges and prosecutors letting career criminals go free because of the color of their skin. There is an army of posts on GraniteGrok about Democrats and their mayors and Police forces letting criminal aliens go free, many of whom are violent or deranged criminals, some with … Read more
Most people are familiar with those ads for ambulance chasers, like attorneys James Sokolove, Dane Schulman, and Barry Feinstein, in which the small print usually says “affiliates in NH & other states outside Mass.” Attorney Bolton, though not an ambulance chaser, is best known as Nashua’s “corporation counsel” and the bane of the L-Team’s existence. … Read more
One of the bits we mentioned in my monthly bit on Jeff Chidester’s radio show was that there’s so much going on that it is impossible to even begin to cover it all. This is true for anyone who comments or reports on news, culture, politics, sports, entertainment, or anything. A corollary to that might … Read more
A few political figures have earned the right to be known by initials. JFK, LBJ, and DJT are a few, and I never felt that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has done anything in her time in Washington to earn her three-letter logo. I also believe she took on her full name for political merit, which is why … Read more
It’s been a rough couple of years for the climate cult, and not just the last two under Mr. Trump. Sure, they super-funded the cult under Biden and again as he was walking out the door, and clawing that all back wasn’t their biggest problem, believe it or not. Sure, they’ve lost a few laundromats … Read more
The November election results are still over two months away, but VPR (I refused to use the ridiculous name Vermont Public, which sounds like a restroom, so maybe it fits after all) is reporting Democrats have already settled on who will be Speaker of the House come January.: Lori Houghton (D-Essex Junction). Well, isn’t that … Read more
I don’t think we’ve ever articulated it that way (Schrödinger’s Gun), but we’ve certainly inferred it. New Hampshire’s continued status as one of the safest states in the country is, in part, a result of our respect for law-abiding citizens and their right to self-defense. If you don’t know whether someone is armed but they … Read more
“Evil is turned into Good, and Good into Evil” Written almost 300 years ago, Thomas Gordon warned us about political parties being little more than cults that promise to protect your country – while really killing it. It was so prophetic that it sounds like it was written today. THE INVERSION Writing in 1744, Gordon … Read more
The separation of church and state in New Hampshire officially began in 1819 with the passage of the Toleration Act. It ended compulsory taxation to support churches and religious schools. Other states passed similar laws. Most folks thought the issue was resolved, but apparently not. Years ago, our populations were fairly homogeneous in their viewpoints. … Read more
