It’s been asked a lot lately with budgetary challenges running up against a lack of tax capacity, and the backdrop of DOGE findings of government waste at the federal level, “Do our elected representatives ever go back and evaluate the programs they pass to see if they are working as promised?” Not really, no. And … Read more
It’s not enough to elect a President; it involves a day-to-day people thing! First off, America’s threat is real, ongoing, and relentless. What seems miniscule today will evolve into a fearful accumulation tomorrow. So, we each need to self-admit and become aware that there is an ongoing threat! However, our task can be strengthened with … Read more
Several years ago, student privacy legislation was introduced in the New Hampshire Senate. I was the only person in the room supporting privacy protections for New Hampshire students. Ed Tech lobbyists were there to protect their profit stream. I was warned that the Ed Tech vendors would send their lobbyists to fight for their interests, … Read more
Nobody thought masks prevented viral infection before the COVID psyop, and you’d be hard pressed to take anyone seriously who thought so now. Besides that brief few years between 2020 and 2024, all the research was clear. Masks were never made to prevent viral transmission, and prolonged use can create health risks easily avoided by … Read more
Like their counterparts in Washington, the Democrats in Augusta are digging themselves a hole they may not escape for years. Through bad legislation and decision-making, they have taken a budget surplus they inherited and squandered it into a significant deficit. They have moved a traditionally conservative state to the progressive Left. They abandoned the values … Read more
If you were hoping that Donald Trump and Pam Bondi were going to protect the 2nd Amendment, it might be time to rethink that position. So while we are all waiting for AG Bondi’s report on the Second Amendment, pursuant to President Trump’s executive order, we now find out that the new DOJ is much … Read more
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 at odds with them for voting with the Republicans on HB148 (which passed 201-166).[Related: Democrat State Rep Calls for Change – In the Democrat Party] This bill permits classification … 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
