On December 4th, 2023, I wrote to Concord Police seeking records on Concord Police Detective Julie Curtin.  I sent a similar letter to Steven Endres, Esq., at the Merrimack County Attorney’s Office, seeking records of communications between the County Attorney’s Office (Catherine Ruffle), Concord PD Detective Julie Curtin, and Concord City Councilor Amanda Grady Sexton. ...

This week, on an all-new GrokTALK!, Barry Obama is out on the campaign trail, and he can’t seem to understand how we got so divided, but plenty of other people get it. With a week left before the election, we’ll share some outstanding video that boils the contradiction down, then revisit the Left’s recent culture ... Read more

If you’re not sure what a Socialist America might look like, this is something of a giveaway. DSA darlings fly in private jets and stay in luxury hotels so they can be ready to give speeches about affordability and all the “Free” stuff their government will give you. From where you stand today, that may ... Read more

Derek Thibeault’s recent Soapbox article in InDepthNH once again demonstrates a selective presentation of the facts. Nashua residents deserve the complete picture, not just the portions that support a particular political narrative. Mr. Thibeault criticizes Republicans while failing to acknowledge the positions and actions of numerous Democratic officials and candidates whose records deserve equal scrutiny. ... Read more

Summary: Turning Point USA remains a stalwart political action organization for conservatives.  Despite losing their founder, Charlie Kirk, to assassination on the Utah Valley University campus, TPUSA continues to canvas high schools, colleges, and public forums with the message of freedom, the word emblazoned across Charlie’s chest the day he died. Though college campuses often ... Read more

A statewide Tax Cap Question is on the November 3rd election ballot in the wards and towns of New Hampshire.  You may not have heard about it amid all the electioneering on the airwaves!  It is Question #2 (HB 1300).

What’s up with Minnesota? The land of 10,000 lakes should be re (nick) named the land of 10,000 fraudsters, though it’s likely more. And we may have the ICE-Out folks to thank for it. If they’d just let ICE root out the criminals, no one would have known or even paid attention. Absent all that ... Read more

Political polls have become less accurate over the last 20 years, and I question whether they should be part of the process or stopped altogether. A few factors contribute to the decline in accuracy and credibility. Years ago, when most people still had a landline, polling was somewhat easier than today’s guessing game. Someone could ...

People ask me to point them to things, and sometimes I can. When I can’t, I try to find what they need, but that doesn’t always work; as we approach November 3rd, two recent finds deserve your attention. Use them, share them, amplify the message and the resource. First, not enough people know they can ... Read more

In 2010, Kelly Ayotte said all the right things and won the Republican US Senate Primary and the General Election. Once elected, Senator Ayotte discarded her campaign promises and positioned herself firmly on whichever side of the bread the butter was on. Most notably, she immediately joined Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham as the ... Read more

I’m not sure why this piece of…work, Marcy Kelley, is still wasting taxpayer money in Bow.

For years, my son and I volunteered to help build community in Ossipee. We believed a public park and its Main Street building could bring generations together. On November 20, 2025, they demolished that building. The loss cannot be undone. The public still deserves to know how its decisions, donations, property, and money are protected. ... Read more

If you have watched any of the City Council meetings for Concord, New Hampshire, in recent months, you’ll be left gasping at the level of misogyny.

If the Left is against it, you will probably benefit somehow from keeping it or having it. It’s that simple. Dems defend illegal robbers, murderers, and child rapists, people who broke multiple laws. Arresting, jailing, and then deporting them is better for everyone, but they don’t want them deported – and will even help them ... Read more
