Opinion: The American Left Is A Very  Real Existential Threat, Part 2

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-07-25 02:00 +0000
For minorities of every kind, who have grievances against the majority, real or imagined, leftism has a real appeal, because it basically says that, all who oppose their particular interests, are conflicted towards them or simply evil. This is what Critical Theory really teaches.  If you stand up and say a woman is defined by ... Read more

CNHT: Ayotte Signs Away Single Family Neighborhoods

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-07-24 21:00 +0000
Claiming that it’s part of an effort to mitigate a (non-existent) housing ‘crisis’, Governor Ayotte has signed every single housing bill that made it to her desk, including the very damaging HB577, which eradicates the right of towns to create single-family zones. We are now no better than California. Despite being sent our petition daily ... Read more

MacDonald: Taxing Marijuana

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-07-24 18:00 +0000
One of my principled objections to legal weed is similar to that of gambling. The interference of the regulatory state and revenue whores. Both are sin taxes. Either “activity” seems harmless enough in moderation, but both will get you into trouble quickly, and when it comes to pleasures and addictions, the line forms rapidly, no ... Read more

Cardello: Minneapolis And NYC Are Ground Zero For The End Of The American Experiment

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-07-24 16:00 +0000
There are many ways to overthrow a government and topple a country. You can attack it militarily and take it by force. You can elect a power-crazed president who opens the borders, destroying the sovereignty, while letting millions of unvetted illegal immigrants into the country. You can indoctrinate generations of children to hate how America ... Read more

MacDonald: Trade “War”

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-07-24 11:00 +0000
Elites, from pundits to economists, are at a loss to explain how that pig Donald Trump could be so damn lucky. There’s no way he knows more about business, trade, or global economies than they do, yet he continues to run circles around them. They predict doom from tariffs, trade wars, and economic misery, but ... Read more

MacDonald: ‘Grok Calls for “Complete Ban” of Bill Nye

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-07-23 21:00 +0000
Bill Nye, the “I pretended to be a scientist on TV” guy, continues to garner media attention regarding weather events because he’s a trained parrot. When he says the right words he gets a cracker.

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-07-23 18:00 +0000

Representative Kristin Noble Selected As 2025 Legislator of the Year

N.H. Liberty Alliance - Wed, 2025-07-23 17:27 +0000
Kristin Noble was selected from a field of 18 legislators who earned an A+ Liberty Rating to receive top honors.

The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance has released their 2025 Liberty Rating, which scored all members of the State House of Representatives and State Senate based upon their votes on pro-liberty and anti-liberty bills.

In all, 18 state representatives were recognized with an A+ rating, which means they supported the recommendations of New Hampshire Liberty Alliance 97% of the time or more.  An additional adjustment is made for representatives who sponsor pro-liberty legislation as well.

Representative Kristin Noble has represented Bedford, New Hampshire since 2022.  She is the vice chairman of the House Committee on Education Policy.  She has championed bills protecting parental rights, getting explicit and pornographic materials out of public schools and preventing the mandatory masking of children.

In total, 18 legislators received an A+ rating from New Hampshire Liberty Alliance:

Joe Alexander
Tom Mannion
Julius Soti
Kristin Noble
Jason Osborne
Ross Berry
Matt Drew
Michael Granger
Calvin Beaulier
Erica Layon
Jeremy Slottje
Jim Kofalt
Samuel Farrington
Glenn Bailey
Carol McGuire
Yury Polozov
Henry Giasson
Lex Berezhny

NHLA thanks all of our A+ legislators for their commitment to supporting pro-liberty policy in the State House.

The Liberty Rating report card is based on pro-liberty and anti-liberty votes and their impact on the State of New Hampshire — actual, recorded floor votes on legislation in the House and Senate. Bills have been carefully selected for inclusion which clearly demonstrate the level of respect our elected representatives show for our individual rights and liberties.

In May 2025, a New Hampshire court ruled that the Town of Grafton violated the state’s Right-to-Know law by holding a public meeting that the public could not adequately hear. The plaintiff, Yaakov “Jake” Abuhav, a local resident who represented himself without an attorney, attended that meeting and, like others, could not make out what ... Read more

Underwood: The ConVal Decision Missed the Big Picture

Mark Twain is supposed to have said, “Never argue with an idiot, they will only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”   That’s how I feel about the New Hampshire Supreme Court’s decision on the ConVal case (and the Claremont cases, for that matter). Their reasoning is hard to follow, ... Read more
