We’ve been writing for years about how Democrats and their bureaucracy use the government to break things they then insist they need more government to fix. Once you accept this, a light shines upon you from heaven, and you can see the institutional and systemic abuse. Taxpayers are just slaves whose earnings are the batteries … Read more
I, admit that I do frequent Carbon Upfront! to debate the Left. That said, at least most of the folks there are normal when it comes to their writing/comments even if it is a bit blinkered regarding Freedom and Liberty. It is, after all, a Left-leaning Eco-Socialist site, but at least the conversations are a … Read more
One of President Trump’s earliest outrages was renaming things from mountains to army bases. Maybe the un-re-naming of them is a better way to say it. The virtue-signalers that preceded this administration (following in the footsteps of a previous “previous” administration) burnished its paper-thin resume by renaming things like Mt McKinley. That 2015 change turned … Read more
Americans as a people are quite fond of balls. From the relatively tiny balls in and airplane’s ball bearings that our government will happily purchase for forty-six thousand times standard markup, to the large and incredibly private masked balls the same people who make up the government like to parade themselves about with their eyes … Read more
What the right hears from the Left is that we are “FASCISTS!!!!” (among other epithets” meant to demean their targets and end all rational conversation). The nuance is that Fascists are kissing cousins to Nazis, and you can’t have a normal (sensible) discussion so it devolves into even more crazy screeching from them. The proper … Read more
It has been a week and a day, give or take, since we reported on House leadership’s response to several Election Law (specifically campaign finance) complaints. The Committee to Elect House Republicans (CTEHR) appears numerically challenged, having somehow misplaced over 169,000 dollars between 2022 and 2024. To provide a bit of contrast, I could probably … Read more
Judy Aron’s regular posts about what is going on in the House are informative, insightful, well-written, and worth reading. Near the beginning of a recent post, she started out with this comment: We knew the 23 bills we had before us were going to yield some very good wins. I don’t think that’s an unusual … Read more
Dan McGuire’s Bill, that narrows down what an adequate education is in New Hampshire, has everyone in a tizzy. HB283 would reduce the list of subjects that define what an adequate education. You can see how an adequate education would be defined if this bill were to pass, and be signed into law. The state would … Read more
It is beyond amazing how out of touch the Democratic Party leadership is with mainstream America. The party’s approval rating has fallen to 31%, the lowest in history. The trajectory indicates it has not reached its low point and will continue to decline. This party is on a suicide mission to destroy itself, and nobody … Read more
Not all that long ago, the Dover Dems outrage machine lost its hive mind (for a little bit) over Representative Ladd dismissing about 3500 online testimony oppositions to a Bill before the Education Committee. I saw it, thought he shouldn’t do that, and then ignored whatever happened after. Thankfully, it wasn’t just the Dover Dems; … Read more
Please support an OTP motion on HB649 This is your chance to finally eliminate vehicle inspections once and for all. This is the year; I believe we have the state house numbers, but we still need your help. When: Transportation Committee, Room 203, Tuesday, February 11th @ 1 PM @ the LOB (the building is … Read more
Monomaniacal socialist 15-minute-city kind of guy, Lloyd, has little empathy for conservative folks who just want to be left alone and make their own decisions in their own “pursuit of Happiness,” be it in suburbia or rural areas. To give his rant a bit more context (something he generally shrugs off as of no account), … Read more
This could be the biggest scandal of all time, perhaps the largest in history! The Democrats can’t evade this one. It’s too significant, too sordid! ~ Donald Trump In recent months, concerns about the transparency and accountability of U.S. foreign aid programs have intensified. Among the latest revelations is that the Biden administration has allocated … Read more
Rather than stand on its own merits and create an identity of its own, Maine is working feverishly to be the California of the East Coast. The Progressives who are clustered in the big cities are spending money they don’t have and threatening to lose federal funds by defying Washington edicts. Maine does not have … Read more
If you missed it, sometime contributor and friend of GraniteGrok, JR Hoell (see also NHFC, Rebuild, and so on), was ticketed for violating New Hampshire’s wholly useless and likely dangerous hands-free law. Anyone driving can attest to the accuracy of that last sentence. A lot of people ignore it. Many create more serious hazards by trying … Read more
Democrats fear Elon having access to sensitive information. Too many people combine the terms hack, breach, and leak as synonyms. A data “hack” is intentionally done by an outside source breaking into computer systems with malice intent. Breach is the term being used to make people fear Elon. A data “leak” is the accidental release of information, often due … Read more
I am a new voice to New Hampshire but not to homeschooling. Just a short time ago I chose to move my family from the Midwest to the East Coast because I choose to live empowered versus dictated by fear. As my family and I settle into the granite state, I am excited to become … Read more
Paul Ingbretson continues the Claremont Decision discussions with a public Q&A featuring presenters Attorney Greg Sorg and Senate Counsel Attorney Rick Lehmann. Queries and points were brought by a number of N. H. State Representatives and other members of the public. I want to again thank Paul Ingbretson for making these available for us to … Read more
From local elections to legislative debates to legal challenges, discussion of public education in New Hampshire has been dominated by two persistent myths. The first is that more spending is the primary means of producing better educational outcomes. The second is that our educational outcomes are stunted because funding for K-12 public schools has “been slashed,” as … Read more
The 1974 Kissinger Report, kept top secret for at least 15 years, incorporated the claims that a global international collaboration of NGOs and government was required to “secure individual rights.” These two values are at odds – universal control and universal individual liberties. This split-personality disorder must be examined and kept in mind to properly discern … Read more
