Residents Continue To Flee Massachusetts (Primarily to N.H.)

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-20 15:00 +0000
People have always relocated between New Hampshire and Massachusetts for a variety of reasons. However, the flow from Massachusetts into New Hampshire is larger than the outflow, and it has been increasing, according to an analysis from the Pioneer Institute in Boston.  From 2010-2023, New Hampshire gained a net total of 98,879 immigrants from Massachusetts, nearly ...

NEA-NH Teacher’s Conference Has Student Mental Health Course

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-20 13:00 +0000
I hope taxpayers aren’t covering the cost of admission. The NEA is the largest labor union in the US and, therefore, the largest teachers union, so when the NEA in NH announces a teacher’s conference, you’d be right to wonder what they want teachers to know. If you happen to be a member of the ... Read more

58¢ Per Gallon! And That Still Low

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-20 11:00 +0000
So much to unpack from Thursday’s big reveal of the Clean Heat Standard rules package from the Public Utilities Commission (PUC)! The big news is we got an “official” cost impact estimate – sort of.

Media Response To Joe’s Buh-Bye Shows Divide – Drives The Wedge

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-20 03:00 +0000
It was only a 15-minute address—not really long enough to warrant cleaning off the resolute desk or bringing in the cameras. It probably took longer to get Kamala and Jill to sit beside each other. I can picture that scene as reminiscent of getting a sixth grader to sit next to a first grader on ... Read more

Legal Hopes for Vermont Liberties?

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-20 01:00 +0000
Alliance Defending Freedom is a national nonprofit organization of Christian attorneys who identify important cases to pursue to preserve and protect Americans’ God-given “inalienable” rights. ADF has been a hero for Vermont citizens who suffer under a far-left supermajority progressivism that has insinuated gender, race, and climate ideologies into public schools and government institutions at ...

Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-01-19 21:00 +0000
Europe’s zealous embrace of climate change ideology is yielding destructive dividends. State-compelled directives and wasteful subsidies implemented to reduce carbon dioxide have created an economic dependency on renewable energy technologies before they were proven and built. Europe’s economic engines have been shut down along with its nuclear reactors, coal-fired plants, and industrial production. Natural gas ... Read more

Will The Media Attempt To Reestablish Some Credibility?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-01-19 19:00 +0000
One in four Americans claim they trust the media, But only one in 14 have confidence in the news they’re being fed. Our local ABC outlet is probably in decent shape (sorta), thanks to the democrat fanbase. but amongst Conservative watchers in New Hampshire, it seems to be commonly accepted that, In the 20 years ...

Our People Awakened

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-01-19 15:00 +0000
Contrary to our unalienable rights, today’s censoring reigns supreme.  This abusive and illegal tactic has become so inclusive that one wonders how and why in this land of the free.   The authority’s lack of corrective concern and subsequent action to such a blatant Constitutional trespass is equally concerning.  Our underlying menace is disinterest in enforcing ...

Woke Greens have been pushing us toward an energy apocalypse, and New Hampshire has not been immune. Sununu was pro-wind, which got us involved with the Gulf of Maine Offshore Wind project developers and greenwashers love, but no one else.

That Renewables Manufacturing Pollutes is Beyond any Reasonable Doubt With few exceptions, the common law upon which US jurisprudence is based employs one of two “burdens of proof” in litigation: the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard used in criminal prosecutions, a very high bar requiring compelling evidence, or the “preponderance of the evidence” standard employed ...

When you think the atmosphere in California can’t get any worse, the Moss Power Plant battery storage, south of San Francisco, goes up in flames AGAIN. The original structure was first built by the infamous utility PG&E, who committed the largest mass homicide by a corporation in 2018, so this all seems par for the ... Read more

Our Government Doesn’t Do Things Affordably

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-01-18 21:00 +0000
Governor Scott gave a good inaugural speech this week echoing the voters’ call for “affordability” in the last election. “Vermonters told us – loudly and clearly,” explained Scott, “they expect us to get back on course; to spend within THEIR means; and above all else, make Vermont more affordable for them.” I think this sums it ...
