Here’s the Guy Trying to “Buy” Some Space in the NH Constitution
Democrats like to talk about “keeping money out of politics.” Well, meet Henry T. Nicholas III, a wealthy Corporate baron. One of those ‘Big’ corporation guys the left ‘hates’ so much. He’s also the brother of Marsalee, the woman for whom … Continue reading
NH Dems Blame Koch Brothers for Sununu Refusing To Advance Undercover Tax Scheme
I think it’s kind of cute that the NH Democrats continue to pretend this had anything to do with offering Family Medical Leave Insurance (FMLI) to New Hampshire Families. Or that Governor Sununu would accept “FMLI” in any form the legislature coughed up. … Continue reading
HB628 Was Never About Creating a Family Medical Leave Insurance Program.
Since late 2017, leading up to today, we’ve written or shared at least twenty-three articles opposing HB628, the so-called Family Medical Leave Act. This makes (at least) twenty-four. Why so many? Until very recently neither the governor nor Republican Majority leadership had … Continue reading
Day 12: Blood Pressure is Getting a Bit Too Low

Sununu: Can’t Support HB628 (Family Medical Leave Bill) “As Written” – But I Want More
Governor Chris Sununu has informed the State Senate Finance Committee looking at HB628 that as written he won’t support it. “I cannot support HB 628 until a comprehensive actuarial analysis is conducted,” … That’s not a rejection of the idea … Continue reading
Republicans Against Free Speech
Carolyn McKinney’s rebuttal to “some Republicans” pushing to remove the word ‘traditional’ as a qualifier to the word ‘marriage’ in the New Hampshire Republican State Platform is brilliant. It’s so good those Republicans don’t want you to read it. (If you have … Continue reading
Zuckerberger-Meister-Berger
If you’d like to read Mark Styen’s first “take” on the Zuckerberg testimony and trust me you do, it’s here, but this snippet captured my imagination (for the moment). To be sure, I doubt [Mark Zuckerberg] thinks of himself as a … Continue reading
