Data Point – NH Electorate is Switching Parties

August 28, 2023 Skip

Interesting. I was actually scurrying around the NH Secretary of State site looking for something else (dang if I can remember now) when I thought this was what I wanted. It wasn’t but still kinda interesting. Look at the SECOND arrow and compare it to the June 16, 2021 numbers a 17% drop in total … Read more

And Sometimes, You Have to Have a Chuckle during Election Camaigns. A Two “Pane” Message: Who Owns “Vandalism”??

November 6, 2022 Skip

Read the Left pane and then the Right pane: Remember that phrase that Democrats hate? Yep, “Taxation is Theft”. Isn’t that vandalism on your wallet? And think of the vandalism they do on our Rights and Liberties with almost every bill they pass! And I have receipts! (H/T: RL)

Pumpkin Fest Handouts

October 31, 2022October 30, 2022 Steve Earle

Yes I did: I went to the Laconia City Pumpkin Fest yesterday and spent my time handing out Belknap County Republican Committee cards and asking people to “vote Republican and save our economy”. Now, this is a very small sampling but my time there for well over an hour was very positive. I got far … Read more

Meaningful Questions to Ask Candidates

October 13, 2022 Ken Eyring

Vote Republican on November 8th

October 7, 2022 Op-Ed

Our country as we know it is in grave danger.

March 12, 2022 Skip

So, as newly appointed Commissioner Strang pointed out, we saw the fireworks about Rusty McClear’s untenable situation on continuing as a Gunstock Area Commissioner (the term he was appointed to ran out months ago).

Discontinuing the Use of Voting Machines & Returning to Hand Counting Ballots

March 9, 2022 Op-Ed

Today March 9, 2022, everyone lost the most precious thing we have as citizens in our local and state elections, Trust. And like a soap bubble, once it pops, it’s nearly impossible to get it back.

Memories of a Woke Warrior

January 23, 2022 Peter Lemiska

More than 50 years after the triumphant civil rights movement, many would probably agree that Joe Biden believes America is still hopelessly, systemically racist.

Joe Biden: Make America Hate Again

January 11, 2022 Peter Lemiska

With only one year into his presidency, it’s probably too soon to be talking about Joe Biden’s legacy. But from the very beginning of his administration, Biden has shown a willingness – no, a commitment – to foment division and hatred. Unless he somehow acquires the skills of a real leader, it’s likely that his legacy has already been established.

April 25, 2021 Skip

Do you remember this? “If you come here because you hate (for WHATEVER reason) where you came from, leave it all behind. ALL OF IT. Stop trying to pick apart the “wrongs” of your new place simply because of where you came from.”

A Little Red State with a Big Blue Crown – Chapter 1

November 15, 2020November 14, 2020 Op-Ed

2020 Electoral Results – President, NH State Wide, and other races that amuse me.

November 4, 2020November 4, 2020 Skip

UPDATE (Wednesday 7:36am): A few numbers have changed but not real “change” in the outcomes – yet. More later. The real question, though, is how long I can stay up because some of these are going to go real late. There’s a good possibility that the US President race won’t be decided for days. I’ll … Read more

November 4, 2020November 3, 2020 Skip

Based on 2016, I’m not sure ANYONE knows, really, what is going to happen today, tonite, and for the next couple of weeks. I’ve seen a number of posts where the vote-by-mail ballots have been tossed or incorrectly sent out.
