Manchester, N.H.
It has been challenging to watch the U.S. Government fawn over the millions of illegal immigrants who have forged the dangerous currents of the Rio Grande to break through our backdoor. A swag bag is waiting for each with a cell phone, debit cards, and a trip anywhere they want to go in the lower 48. Did I mention these people are illegal?
I thought so.
These people have been placing a tremendous financial burden on Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and even Florida. To prove a point and bring their plight to the mainstream media, that had been ignoring the Border problem, the Governors of Florida and Texas started busing illegals to Sanctuary Cities around the country. Washington D.C., New York, and Chicago received most of the transplanted illegals.
These people are from around the globe, and these major metropolitan regions can no longer afford the cost of handling these aliens. These people have taken over major hotels, sleeping on sidewalks or in temporary shelters. The liberal Mayors are now begging Washington for a handout to balance the cost to their taxpayers. Sanctuary cities seemed like a good idea until reality set in. Mayor Adams of New York City is getting daily media coverage pleading for aid from Biden.
St Louis must feel slighted as they did not have any buses stopping by the Arch with global, “illegal” tourists, so they are looking to Chicago to have some brought in. They are looking for hundreds with work permits that can help relieve a worker shortage in Mound City. They offer free temporary housing, training, and an opportunity for a long-term stay in the Gateway to the West, and, almost forgot, another free cell phone.
What is with free cell phones?
Is that why these illegals walked thousands of miles to get to America? These people should have been sent back to their country of origin. Instead, they get free housing and a job. Welcome to America. Let’s look at another group of people who are not getting such a sweetheart deal, though they deserve one.
There are nearly 68,000 homeless veterans in America, and over one million living in poverty. These men and women volunteered to enter the military, fulfilled their obligations, and were kicked to the curb. The U.S. Government feels no responsibility to help these vets get on their feet and enjoy the fruits of the country they swore to protect. In addition to these downtrodden groups, we lose 44 veterans per day to suicide. That is more than 16,000 per year who see death as a better fate than living as a veteran in America. This situation is a national travesty and embarrassment and gets little attention.
Before another dime is spent on a free cell phone for an illegal alien, we should invest in our forgotten veterans. There should be no veteran sleeping on a sidewalk or under a bridge. There should be mental health services available to keep these thousands of desperate men and women alive and valuable. These people should be trained for any job a liberal city wants to give to an illegal. These people wore the uniform of this country and took an oath to die for her if necessary. These folks deserve a second chance, not those whose most significant accomplishment was wading across the Rio Grande.

Former mayor Kendall Lane was quoted: “I think it’s very exciting to have Jay running for mayor…”. That was a neat trick: getting Jay and “exciting” in the same sentence.
Do you want exciting? – try Kahn’s opponent, Bradford Hutchinson. The moribund Keene Sentinel needs exciting news worth reading. Vote for Bradford! Save the Sentinel!
Our current mayor, Hansel, was not quoted. Maybe it’s the lack of popularity in his bulldozing of Keene’s proposed infrastructure program. We were first told that this boondoggle would cost $7 million – now it’s “more than $14 million”.
We bought Alaska from Russia for $7 million. I went to Stantec’s (Keene’s expensive consultant) website. The best I could figure, their merit is “climate change.” Carbon is the basis of all life. The carbon they want to eliminate includes us.
Jay takes his marching orders from Democratic Party Central (climate change, bicycles instead of cars, dead trees,…). The final item on the mailing says he will leverage his record on infrastructure upgrades to promote economic opportunities for Keene. Looks like Jay is supporting Hansel’s Folly. Count on higher taxes and more debt while disrupting small businesses. By the way, the Vilas Bridge is still unrepaired.
The so-called Democratic Party wants to wreck our first-in-the-nation primary, saying we’re too white. New Hampshire preferred Obama to McCain in 2012 and to Romney in 2016 – both by substantial margins, each margin larger than that of the USA at large.
In the 2020 Democratic Party primary, Biden lost to an older white man (Bernie), a gay man (Mayor Pete), a woman (Senator Klobuchar), and a woman claiming Native American heritage (Senator Warren). He lost to a diverse group. We don’t like Biden, so wreck our primary?
Bradford has lived here for decades and knows the streets and its people. Bradford owns a Tulsi cap and supports Kennedy for President. He favors independent thought.
I first met Bradford ten years ago when he introduced himself as The King of Keene. He, like many others these days, needs to be demoted. Please vote for Bradford Hutchinson for mayor.
FIRST DO NO HARM: Ditch Washington and the Democratic Party’s destructive, oppressive hypocrisies. Try something new! Send a message! Throw the bums out!
Save the Keene Sentinel! Please vote for Bradford Hutchinson for Mayor of Keene on November 7.

New Hampshire Democrat Colon Van Oscopy (Colin Van Ostern) sent an email out to his list last week in which he implored Democrat primary voters in New Hampshire to ignore the galactic-sized snub of their historic role in presidential politics and Write-In Biden.
Please pay close attention to the man (woman, whatever) behind the curtain who robbed you of a 123-year tradition. When the Republicans – who kept their primary – go to vote, you should show up and write in Biden on the Democrat ballot.
Hi,
I’m sharing this with you because I think this is a critical effort — for our democracy, for New Hampshire and our primary, and for 2024 and beyond.
Every NH Democratic State Senators, dozens of NH House leaders, current and former party leaders, business and cultural leaders, and both our great Democratic 2024 candidates for Governor are already on board.
It’s all hands on deck – please follow the link to WriteInBiden.com/join-us below and add your name today.
There is a Democrat primary ballot for the First in the Nation Primary. It will have a list of democrat candidates’ names on it. Most are people no one has heard of, with a few regulars, but Joe Biden will not be on it. His first primary is in South Carolina. So, what should NH Dems do?
Everyone knows Joe’s son, Hunter. He’s a businessman with extensive international “trade” experience. He is alleged to have inside connections in both China and Ukraine (which the political left has been told to love). Hunter is also less likely to get lost on stage and – at least when sober – complete sentences in a language common not just to Earth but also to America. This not-so-big guy also supports legalized sex work, decriminalization of drugs, and sentencing and prison reform (mostly so he stays out of one). And he likes a good “party, especially at the White House.
Hunter Biden.
New Hampshire’s Dems should write in Biden. Hunter Biden. That would send a message to The Big Guy. You told us to stuff it, then sent your boot-licking lackeys to beg our forgiveness. All so you wouldn’t look bad.
How do we look, the Dems should say? Our entire congressional delegation and state party leadership was prostrate before the DNC, begging Joe not to take away their special place on the primary calendar. He did it anyway.
It is, of course, their fault. If they’d held primaries and promoted and voted for brown people, the DNC could have pretended to be appeased. Instead, the State Party kept pushing their pasty white delegation year after year. Even when a seat became available, we got Chris Pappas, who lands on the Benjamin Morre color palette somewhere between Timid White and Chantilly Lace. It’s almost as if they don’t like brown people.
The Democrats decide who is running and who wins the primary, then elect them. Democrats did this.
And, as I pointed out the other day, they should be proud to lose your primary.
The Biden write-in campaign, headed by long-time Dem party leader Kathy Sullivan – she who housed out-of-state vote stealer Jeff Wetrosky – will rally a lot of scribbles for Biden. She’s got this idea that he needs to win. Her State party can’t let it slide even when the National Party has moved forward and away from the Granite State.
And isn’t that what Democrats do? Every existing tradition and institution must be smashed. You need ashes before your utopian phoenix can rise. Joe Biden has done them a favor. He has lifted the rock of a 123-year tradition and pitched into the river. No longer burdened, Granite State Dems are free to salute the new primary order.
They’ve got a case of Primary Fundamentalism, and it is not very progressive of them.
So write in Biden. Hunter Biden. Who knows, maybe he’ll refuse to give him 10% of his delegates, as if that matters in a Democrat Primary for President. Joe will “get” the nomination regardless and then – as predicted on these pages – will be replaced by the DNC before the general election.
But writing in Hunter will send a message.
It would also be funny as hell.
The post NH Dems SHOULD Write-In Biden – “Hunter Biden” appeared first on Granite Grok.
From the opening sentences of his first address to the House as the 56th Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson had a different tone, a refreshing tone that is welcome in a town where everyone has an edge.
I admit to no familiarity with Johnson until he took the gavel to lead the House, but I like what I hear and now know of the 51-year-old Representative from Louisiana. When asked about the Speaker, you listen to words not often associated with D.C. Soft-Spoken. Mild-Mannered. Humble, Kind, and a Raging Theocrat are some of the descriptive adjectives. The latter is the term that caught my attention.
Mike Johnson has no issue with being described as a theocrat. He readily admits that his spirituality drives and guides him. It is one of the reasons he cannot hold ill feelings toward his critics. His religious upbringing teaches him to love all and not harbor hate towards anyone. Johnson seems genuine and not just spewing words to mask the true man. Over the weekend, Johnson was compared to the Maine mass shooter by Bill Maher, and Jenn Psaki, the former Press Secretary for Joe Biden, said on her MSNBC show:
“Most Americans might not be able to pick Mike Johnson out of a lineup, but in reality he’s far from benign,” said Psaki. “It’s not just his political ideology that should scare us. Johnson is basically a Christian fundamentalist.”
This statement was part of her rant against Johnson and, by extension, anyone with a deep belief in God. I thought Maher was beginning to lean more toward the center, but his and Psaki’s comments were equally out of line.
We have heard much about hate speech and antisemitism in the last few weeks, but what is the difference between attacking Jewish people and taking shots at Christians? There is none, and we have to put an end to attacks on people based on their ethnicity or religion.
In an interview with Kayleigh McEneny of FOX News, Johnson brought her to the Congressional Prayer Room, where he said he would start each day as he meditates and prays for guidance in his duties and decisions. Speaker Mike Johnson is a marked man. Just like the FBI investigating Radical Traditional Catholics, this Administration and possibly Democrats as a whole see no value in religious beliefs in our politicians. These people worship the Green New Deal or Bidenomics. Religion would get in the way, as it would not allow them to propagate lies to the American people.
We are still unwrapping the gift from the Republican Party. The debacle from McCarthy being fired and the three-week process to elect a replacement was painful to watch and embarrassing as a Republican. If Mike Johnson is the real deal and can get Congress to cooperate and build a rapport with Chuck Schumer, then maybe every member of Congress should stop by the Prayer Room and kneel in front of the George Washington stained glass for divine inspiration.

You need money to stay in Congress, so what’s a few grand from an anti-Israel member of the US House? I’m sure that’s what the Democrat’s DC ambassador to NH Congressional District-1 thinks. He got $8K from some anti-Semitic PAC, and everyone’s dander is up.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s Build Our Movement PAC has been spreading the donations around, but she’s got some baggage that just got a lot heavier after Hamas invaded Israel. She got some pushback after calling Israel a racist state. Her response was to clarify who she thought the racist Israelis were. And in an Omar-esque “some people did something moment,” she referred to Hamas’ invasion of the Jewish State as an ongoing situation in the Middle East.
Pramila is good buddies with the infamous anti-semite Rashida Tlaib and is considered to be a member of The Squad, fitting nicely with their worldview about socialism, tyranny, and hating Jews. But Pappas is reportedly standing with Israel – probably because someone in leadership told him it was okay to do that, and it is his turn to feel a bit of the fire under his feet.
Candidate Hollie Noveletsky wasted no time taking a shot at Pappas.
“Since the horrific attacks against Israel on October 7th, Chris Pappas has stated his strong support for Israel. Yet he has no problem taking money from a PAC closely connected to anti-Israel Congresspeople like Ilhan Omar, Pramila Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,” said Noveletsky. She continued, “Leadership is about actions, not just words, but it seems to be about political expediency for Chris. I sincerely hope he’ll return the money and condemn the blatantly antisemitic actions of colleagues in his caucus such as Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.”
Russell Prescott, another candidate running to replace Pappas in CD-1, was even quicker to call on him to apologize and return the funds.
Jayapal voted “present” on a bipartisan House resolution declaring support for Israel and condemnation of Hamas’ terrorist attacks that killed more than 1,000 civilians, including 30 American citizens. She has criticized President Joe Biden’s strong support for Israel and believes it will cause him to lose support from Muslim voters. Jayapal previously called Israel a “racist state” at a progressive conference before walking the comments back due to widespread condemnation.
We should expect that, but here’s the thing. Pappas gets all of his money (likely with rare exceptions) from Democrats, and only when publicly prudent will they openly support Israel. The Left’s support for Iran has amplified the perception that Democrats – not all of them, but as a party – hate Israel. The rantings of their ideological offspring, most visibly on College Campuses, amplify the impression much the way a child yelling f**k at a dinner table surrounded by friends suggests an abundance of loose language at home.
You say you support Israel, but what’s all this then? Your political machine and its indoctrination wings – especially at the elite schools – are churning out anti-semites faster than a Hitler Youth Camp.
Members of your party with a documented history of anti-Israeli dogma keep getting elected by rank-and-file Democrats to public office.
Pasty white Pappas from an unreligious state that is only 2% Jewish and less than 1% Muslim finds himself in a bit of a pickle. Does anyone aside from his likely opponents care if he receives money from anti-Semitic political PACs? I mean, do they really care? And what’s $8,000.00 in a campaign for Congress to an incumbent? He raised over 5 million for the 2022 contest, more than double his first race for a gig inside the Beltway.
In other words, he can give it back, or he can keep it with all the money he gets from every other Jew-hating Democrat PAC because it’s a big pile of money from a party and people who are only friendly to (or about) Israel when the need to stay in power demands it.
That is your answer. If Congressman Chris is convinced by someone in leadership that he needs to appear to care and that this empty gesture will do that, he’ll have someone in the campaign cut a check to the Build Our Movement PAC with a little yellow post-it attached. “Need to return this. Hope you understand. See you in January 2025 (?)”

The post Should Democrat Chris Pappas Give the Blood Money Back? appeared first on Granite Grok.
First, let me say that I am writing this for all the right reasons and, likely, at considerable expense to myself. What I am about to tell you will not be received well by those with more power than me. I am not taking the typical political move of cowardly leaks and anonymity – I am putting my name on this.
I will not receive awards or promotions, and I suspect in the coming days and weeks, I am going to have a bad time.
I write this as I have taken every action available to me, and yet, I have not been allowed success in accomplishing a single reform to New Hampshire schools. It is my hope that you, dear readers, when armed with the truth, might make a difference here.
There are many procedural, ideological, and curricular causes to the current state of affairs in New Hampshire schools – so many, in fact, that it has been the subject of much debate in what order they should take priority. I tell you now that the foremost cause of the awful state of NH schools is none of these. It is not Critical Race Theory. It is not Gender (“Queer”) Theory. It is not Common Core. The foremost cause is not a theory, it is a man – a man with a name, a face, and a high-ranking position in government.

First, you must understand that the Democrats cannot beat us – they simply don’t have the numbers. Yet, they achieve victory after victory regardless. You see, not every person who stands for election with an (R) next to their name does so in order to carry out the will of the Republican voters. It is perfectly clear that the will of Republican voters is to rid our schools of the social “theories” listed above, to gut the administrative bloat, to eradicate far-left indoctrination, to do battle with the corrupt teachers’ unions, to kick the federal government out, and to win this for them at any cost to us.
Some “Republicans” elected by these voters would prefer we not win. Some of those with an (R) next to their name run specifically to thwart the will of the voters and to betray the base. I was elected to the New Hampshire House for the first time in November of 2022 and appointed to the House Education Committee (“HEC” hereafter) by Speaker Packard in January 2023, where I have served since, and I came to win at any cost. This session (Speaker Packard) and the HEC (Chairman Ladd, Vice Chair Cordelli, Clerk Ford), have been under Republican control – Republican control, yet we keep losing.
Upon being appointed to the HEC, I attended an “orientation” session. Merriam-Webster dictionary offers the following definition for “orient”: “to direct… toward the interests of a particular group.” So, to what group’s interests was the HEC directed during orientation? Well, there were no representatives of private schools, nor charter schools, nor of homeschoolers, nor of parents. So, who did Chairman Ladd invite to orient us? He invited lobbyists from the teacher’s unions and the Department of Education. From day one, Chairman Ladd referred us to the unions and the Department of Education for policy and procedure, and he has been a staunch defender of the unions in the HEC every time they’ve come under scrutiny from true conservatives.
Rick Ladd of Haverhill, NH, has chaired the HEC for the majority of the last decade. He came to the committee after a career in teaching and as an administrator in public schools. He was trained as a “social science” teacher. For those uninitiated, “social sciences” came about in the mid 1900’s when socialists successfully attached the word “science” to their beliefs to get around anti-Communism laws, which they then started using to indoctrinate students in schools. During the time that Ladd has chaired the HEC, proficiency in math and reading has gone down by roughly 7%, incidents of violence are up 7%, cost per pupil has gone up by over 30%, and suicidal ideation and depression have increased by 9.4% and 17% respectively – notably, these are trends attributable to policies supported by Ladd.
This year’s record demonstrates that Chairman Ladd has no business in a Republican leadership position on, arguably, the most important committee in the House.
Beyond all this, Ladd regularly betrays the Republicans on his own committee by outlining a Republican strategy in caucus only to abandon the strategy and join with the Democrats immediately. When he does this, he leaves the Republicans on the committee without any plan or leadership going into debates and votes, and it becomes impossible to mount an effective resistance to Democrats. There’s every reason to believe this is done on purpose to undermine us in favor of the Democrats – after all, Ladd argued more against other Republicans on the House floor this year than he did against Democrats last session.
The cost increases and money being shifted around in NH that is directly attributable to Chairman Ladd is staggering, and it would be well worth taking a very good look at where all of that money is being distributed – there’s an awful lot of lobbying done on his part to send more and more funds to specific places, including Manchester. He also has very close ties to the University System, served as a trustee, acts as their defender-in-chief on the committee, and was instrumental in killing a very popular bill requiring colleges to respect the First Amendment rights of students – a bill strongly opposed by UNH.
It is said that America is undergoing a Cultural Revolution. Many decades ago, China underwent its Cultural Revolution under Chairman Mao. Mao, before being Chairman, had pretended to be a member of China’s conservative party in order to destroy it from the inside and then radicalized the schools to produce a generation of revolutionaries who went on to murder millions. We in New Hampshire have our Chairman Ladd, likewise, pretending to be a member of the conservative party to destroy it from within while radicalizing a generation of students, and we have recently seen the fruits of such radicalization across the country in antisemitic, anti-white, anti-Asian, and anti-American violence.
Things don’t have to be this way. We don’t have to lose. We can win. The facts are on our side, and we are the good guys. We just need to start acting like we can win. I would ask that you consider contacting the office of Speaker Packard (603-271-3661, sherman.packard@leg.state.nh.us) to request a new Education Chairman be named. The committee has, unfortunately, and significantly due to the influence of Ladd, been so thoroughly steeped in Progressive education ideology that it would be best if a new Chair were brought in from outside the committee. No reform of NH schools is possible until this happens. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your help.
