New Hampshire House Rep Len Turcotte joins me in the first half-hour to discuss zoning laws and bills in the legislature that chip away at local control, “… in small bites in hopes you don’t realize it until it is too late.” Note: The bill he couldn’t recall the number of is HB631 (permitting residential … Read more
For the last 40 years, all we’ve heard from the Left is that we’re fascists. It has intensified over the last several years. Why? Power – or the loss or lack thereof. Their message has stopped resonating with the public. Their rants are no longer persuasive. Their only backup plan is to try to otherize … Read more
Fellow Democrats, Stand Up and Walk Out (again). Rep. Jonah Wheeler has broken the internet again, or is about to. Contrary to his party’s preferences (Democrats) he is broke with them to vote with the Republicans on HB148 (which passed 201-166).[Related: Democrat State Rep Calls for Change – In the Democrat Party] This bill permits … Read more
What girls and women need to understand about the progressive agenda is that when it uses the word choice they don’t mean you. Individual girls and women do not get to decide what works for them or their situation. No one does. The Democrat Party chooses. Women do not have a choice in the progressive … Read more
If you are unfamiliar with New Hampshire politics or its sometimes crooked money-chasing department of HHS, then you’ll not know who Dr. Benjamin Chan is. But you’ll recognize his type. When the Feds were dropping cash on states faster than Treasury could print it, he was a reliable parrot for whatever COVID CDC narrative was … Read more
You’d think that with everything happening in the realm of energy policy – the need to do something about the trainwreck Clean Heat Standard, the failure to meet the first Global Warming Solutions Act mandate for 2025, the lawsuit resulting from that, the projection that we’ll miss the 2030 deadline as well, the threatened cuts … Read more
The Left is forever trying to pull the wool over your eyes, ears, and mouth on the subject of settled science. Sorry, Science is NEVER settled, nor is there consensus. Science works only when the data supports a given hypothesis, and then fails when someone else brings up data that shows the hypothesis, no matter … Read more
Representative Gary Woods is a member of the Health and Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee. He is a Democrat elected from our State Capitol, and is a retired medical professional (an expert). Originally from California. Berkeley (Physics) then Johns Hopkins (Biophysics) and finally Univ. Rochester (MD) where I stayed on the Orthopaedic Faculty 5 … Read more
Let’s talk about the late Vesta Roy (3/26/25-2/9/02), someone I’ve known but didn’t know well until recently. Rep Moffett mentioned her in his recent article to promote his perennial pitch (CACR 1) for having a lieutenant governor. Her centennial birthday makes a good excuse to talk about her again. There’s no need to rewrite her … Read more
Both stress and big flashlights can show reality to those who are living in another world and dimension. In this case, it is the Euro weenies who are all about continuing the Never-Ending-Ukranian War – even as they’ll only fight if the US is involved: “500M Europeans Are Begging 300M Americans for Protection from 140M … Read more

The Left has a problem legislating but excels at litigating. Democrats refuse to cooperate in the Trump administration’s initiatives but have gotten activist judges to impose 64 injunctions against the White House and team. The Judicial Branch of the government is tasked with interpreting the laws and ensuring that they are applied fairly and consistently. … Read more
Mark well the words of RFK Jr: “Nobody in the history of the planet has ever complied their way out of totalitarian control.” “It’s been the ambition of every totalitarian state from the beginning of mankind to control every aspect of behaviour, of conduct, of thought, and to obliterate dissent. None of them have been … Read more
I am reminded of my question to Bruce Curry, “Whose money is it FIRST?” Put another way, “Who has the first claim on the money in my wallet”? Curry was an uber-progressive who frequented GraniteGrok for many years, but that was a question he would never answer. He was clear that what funding the Government … Read more
Just how much mental and psychological trauma exists in the country and world today cannot be quantified, and I would not trust any studies that tried. But this much is clear. We have lost our footing in knowing something that scientists long believed we could know: whether and to what extent an economy is growing … Read more
Over the weekend President Trump ordered a massive military operation against the small country of Yemen. Was Yemen in the process of attacking the United States? No. Did the President in that case go to Congress and seek a declaration of war against the country? No. The fact is, Yemen hadn’t even threatened the United … Read more
My kids have not been victims of what passes for public education in the town of Merrimack (SAU 26) for a very long time, but now and then, the PTSD shows itself. They thankfully missed the CRT and DEI crap, and most of the gender-bending nonsense, but the climate fearmongering and LGBT mind f**kery were … Read more
The last few weeks have been devastating for the Democrats. They had an internal explosion when Chuck Schumer broke from the base and voted in favor of the Republican version of the Continuing Resolution. Most members of the Party felt that Schumer had abandoned them and surrendered to Trump and the MAGA Republicans. Many of … Read more
In 2025, the public appetite for cutting unnecessary government expenses, improving efficiency and reducing taxpayer liabilities is enormous. Inflation put tremendous stress on household finances as COVID-era regulatory and spending decisions tanked Americans’ trust in government management. In New Hampshire, policymakers are looking for new ways to deliver core services at lower costs. One reform … Read more
On March 11, 2025, Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) sparked outrage during a House Foreign Affairs Europe Subcommittee hearing by referring to Sarah McBride, the Delaware poster child of the progressive elite and self-proclaimed “first transgender member of Congress,” as “Mr. McBride.“ The response was predictable — a truth bomb that sent the sanctimonious left into … Read more
