How Compromised is the NH Senate?

Sat, 2025-03-08 21:00 +0000
The news of 2025’s perennial attempt to abolish the “sticker tax,” aka HB649 (ending annual passenger vehicles inspections), is good so far.  The House has voted in favor despite the failure of the House Transportation Committee to produce a proper recommendation. The committee did not recommend either pass or fail, which has happened to other ... Read more

New Hampshire Takes a Step Toward Health Care Competition

Sat, 2025-03-08 19:00 +0000
The New Hampshire House voted this week to make health care more accessible. The Lower chamber of the state legislature passed HB223, which would exempt certain facilities from restriction in existing state law. In the Granite State, a “medical facility” within 15 miles of a critical care hospital needs the permission of that hospital to ... Read more

Champions of Justice or Criminal Accomplices?

Sat, 2025-03-08 17:00 +0000
The Democrat Party has undergone some dramatic changes in recent years, changes that can best be described as bizarre, maybe even un-American. One of the earliest signs of trouble appeared in 2020, after George Floyd’s death at the hands of a police officer. Democrats went berserk, launching an all-out effort to defund police departments across ... Read more

Should NH Continue To Require Annual Vehicle Inspections?

Sat, 2025-03-08 15:00 +0000
The Union Leader has a survey (no paywall) asking your thoughts about ending annual passenger vehicle inspections. (Just for the heck of it, I’ll do an X poll here.) From reading comments on Grok feeds across social media, I know there is mixed support for it, but mostly for it, and the UL results as ... Read more

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (3/6/25)?

Sat, 2025-03-08 13:00 +0000
We learned it was quite a long day as we dealt with 42 bills and approved HR17, the budget unrestricted revenue estimates from the Ways and Means committee. In attendance were roughly 207 Republicans and 165 Democrats in the House. Given that roster of House bills I’ll be reporting on some interesting bills as well ... Read more

Ramadan Bomb-a-Thon

Sat, 2025-03-08 11:00 +0000
Ayup, there certainly is. And it’s easy to do… Putting on the Mantle of Victimhood is easy to do. Everyone weak of heart and weaker of mind will wring their hands in horror. When it comes down to it, “victims” are masters at playing on other peoples’ emotions and lack of ability to: Gazans, you’ve ... Read more

Addressing Excessive Residential Lot Size Regulations

Sat, 2025-03-08 03:00 +0000
Imagine that you’ve just graduated high school or college, you’ve landed an entry-level job, and you need a car. What’s on your car shopping list? It’s your first job, so you’re probably looking for a cheap car, and smaller cars are cheaper to buy and maintain than larger ones. So you start shopping. To your ... Read more

State’s Attorneys Trying to Push Back the Rising Tide of Crime with a Broom

Sat, 2025-03-08 01:00 +0000
No doubt the defund the police movement has been devastating for Burlington and other communities throughout Vermont, as our once safest-in-the-nation state has seen an unprecedented and undesirable rise in crime. But while “Defund the Police!” has gotten all the headlines and protest placards (cue Law & Order theme music), “In the criminal justice system, ... Read more

Grok Shot- Epic Rant on Dems, Criminals, Gun Rights, And Crime

Fri, 2025-03-07 23:00 +0000
Clipped from this week’s edition of Granite State Live, Keith uses a clueless mayor’s remarks to launch another epic rant. This time it’s on crime, cops, Democrats, and gun rights. It was something special and I didn’t want anyone to miss it. Note: It is clipped to address an audio issue but you’re not missing ... Read more

The Left is Trying to Get the Right To Doom Pam Bondi

Fri, 2025-03-07 21:00 +0000
Democrats have nothing. Well, that’s not entirely true. They are still adept at getting Republicans to eat each other’s lunch. It works like this. Every side has factions and pundits scrabbling for eyeballs, which results in (at least) two things. Click bait bullshit headlines and hyperbolic exhortations. Dems do it, Bees do it, everyone does ... Read more

In Defense of Charter Schools

Fri, 2025-03-07 19:00 +0000
Yesterday, the New Hampshire House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted against House Bill 515, “An Act repealing the chartered public school eligibility for state school building aid.” Although I was originally scheduled to speak against HB515, the floor debate did not occur. Why? The Representative scheduled to speak in support of HB515 backed out of the ... Read more

Enemies of Both Sticker Tax Freedom and 91A

Fri, 2025-03-07 15:00 +0000
The HB649 House roll call numbers are in (HB649 ends mandatory passenger vehicle inspections). 355 (out of 400) reps voted, and 15 out of 183 Republicans went rogue.  Without further delay, let’s shame them now. As Chau Kelley would say, “There you have it, ladies and gentlemen.”  *The 8 two-time tax-loving Uniparty establishment Rs are ... Read more

Make Every Democrat Pick a Side – Politics or People?

Fri, 2025-03-07 13:00 +0000
We have a lot of mental deficients in my town. You probably do, too. People who think that there are local House Dems who put people over politics. It’s a nice thought, but rarely, if ever, is the case, and the Dems who attended Tuesday’s joint session of Congress just handed you a rhetorical cudgel ... Read more

Pennies from Washington

Fri, 2025-03-07 11:00 +0000
The Judicial Branch, apparently unconcerned about that whole separation-of-powers thing, is telling the Executive Branch what to do. In particular, it’s saying that the Trump Administration has to distribute $2 billion in foreign aid, even though it contains substantial amounts of wasteful, fraudulent, and harmful spending. Ideally, President Trump would take a page from Andrew ... Read more

Will McConkey Honor Nimbus Kitty?

Fri, 2025-03-07 03:00 +0000
Jeb Bradley is a gridiot. It is common knowledge and perhaps one of his biggest nonpolitical claims to fame.  For those who don’t know what that means, it’s an elite status in the hiking community earned by climbing to the summit (and back to the trailhead) of all 48 peaks on the AMC list of ...

As progressive lawmakers around the nation violate fundamental principles of the rule of law, We the People increasingly are rising up to override lawlessness in an effort to reclaim normalcy. Such is the case in Maine, where a petition seeking a ballot proposal requiring a photo ID requirement for voting has gathered momentum. Voter ID ... Read more

Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff

This week, my guest is the author of ‘Truth Was My Crime,’ Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff. Elisabeth was persecuted by the Austrian Government and the European Union for stating a historical fact, but because it was about the prophet Mohammad, it became a continental scandal, dragging Sabaditsch-Wolff through the #woke anti-free speech ringer. She joins us to ... Read more
