Don’t worry snowflake, New Hampshire will never flip completely liberal. Atleast not for several decades. Nashua is just barely removed from being apart of the “boston metro” area and the RT3/93 corridors between the mass state line and Manchester will continue to explode in growth because Boston is one of the most popular cities in the nation and those areas are an easy commute. North of Manch is a tough sell and it will be decades before that urbanization creeps north of there. FWIW your stats and economics are wrong. The further right a state leans the more economically depressed it is and higher the crime rates. Violent crime per capita is higher in solid red states vs blue states. Lucky for you NH is a left lean purple and not solid red.

Its not called Manchester Logan?
They were likely F-15s out of Westover. They did not look like F-35s, which are in Vermont. I live about 2 miles from MHT and also think I heard one take off about a week ago heading north toward Vermont.
My ADS-B Scanner feeding FlightAware does not pick them, no surprise there.
Edit: video I took of one on its third pass

I'd rather not since it makes it pretty obvious where I work.

It's not might? It's a democratic process. Through a democratic process, it was decided that if you live in our society you have a responsibility to help maintain and advance our society. Pretty much the base concept of civilization. Society prospers through collective investment. Society crumbles through individualism. The idea that any but a handful of people would be better off in an ideal Libertarian society is laughable. It's basically a fast-track to modern feudalism.

>They are simply asking for the respect to love who they want to love.
No, they demanded marriage rights. Not the same thing. There was no ban on homosexuality.
>Why is it it different for someone that is Gay or Trans? They aren't forcing you to watch them make out with someone.
Then you'd have to ask why DEI training is even a thing. People shouldn't be displaying their sexuality in the workplace. Yet at many companies, that's actually a thing. They have "resource groups" or something similar. Baffles my mind to see how that's appropriate in a workplace. Love whoever you want (other than children, your own relatives, and a few other exceptions), but don't become a nuisance about it in the workplace.
>Does it really hurt your manhood to have to show respect to someone
Why can't you respect traditionalists? Even liberal Boston had a problem with this. This was battled for years with the St Patrick's Day parade. Why couldn't the pride folks respect the wishes of the parade organizers?
>Man, woman, gay, trans- everyone deserves to be respected and allowed to be who they want to be. But they don't get the right to tell someone else how they should live their life.
Again, this works both ways. This gets back to the situation with the baker that got sued for not wanting to bake a cake for a gay wedding. The "customer" tried to force this on the baker and ultimately lost. This is the lack of self-awareness that I'm poking at here.

What would you expect to happen if you joined a gated community and started using their pool, golfing on their course, booking parties in their activity rooms etc. and then refused to pay your fees? Would you whine about how they're stealing from you while you get evicted?

I like it here and while we are able to continue to push back against the free staters and other abusers I will likely stay. What I don't like are tax dodgers who conspire to move to our communities and argue against solving real issues and instead make proposals that would legalize tax dodging, gut our social programs and leave those who need help to their own devices.
If the day comes that you guys are able to create your libertarian "utopia", I will probably be forced to leave and watch my once beautiful state burn from the outside. Luckily, as I said above, free staters are inspiring us to get involved.

No trespassing and no soliciting signs didnt stop them. Security cameras, including doorbell with 24/7 surveillance recording signs has made them seek out other houses. Sad it has to come to that, but thats today's society

The only insight I have is I thought they were going to crash into my apartment, they sounded so low. My poor elderly cat was terrified (and so was I, since that's what I woke up to!)

Were they F22s? An ex military guy I work with thought they were F35s.
>Anyone have insight?
They were just doing training. At work, I park my car on the other side of the fence from one of the runways, and the military is here doing training like once a month or so. This is the second time in 3 years I have seen fighter jets, but C130s or similar are way more common. They just don't make as much noise. The windows were shaking in my building.
Managed to get a good video of the vapor cloud one made as it was turning away from the runway.

That's of registered voters in some elections. Of the total humans, no.
That wasn't really my point though.
Might does not make right.

Most people do vote. *Not enough" people vote, but voter turnout is consistently over 50% in NH.

I found my apartment in Dover in January on Craigslist. Property management company is Real Property Management Seacoast. They have a couple of realtors and you can book viewings online. I can send you the name of my realtor if you want (and if I can find it)

Reply to comment by Azr431 in North Hampton Chief Leaves After Investigation Into Questionable Arrest by L-V-4-2-6
I believe there were 2 officers on the scene. That means at least 1 other went along with it rather than pulling him aside and saying "don't be insane." Then police chief went on record saying the 2 officers handled the situation properly. So now we're up to 3. I'm not aware of any town officers standing up and saying the debacle was idiotic. Therefore I can't say if it's the whole department or not. If someone there disavowed it would be a good sign. Not seeing it.

Also the part where the complainant went to the library looking for inappropriate books. She was there to start a fuss no matter what she found.

The LGBTQ community are not "forcing" their views on anyone. They are simply asking for the respect to love who they want to love. As for the DEI training, sorry you have to be forced to respect other people by your employer. Most employers also have sexual harassment training. Do you spitefully hate women for them daring to ask to be respected in the workplace? I hope not. Why is it it different for someone that is Gay or Trans? They aren't forcing you to watch them make out with someone. They aren't forcing you to kiss another man. Does it really hurt your manhood to have to show respect to someone, regardless of their sexual orientation? Man, woman, gay, trans- everyone deserves to be respected and allowed to be who they want to be. But they don't get the right to tell someone else how they should live their life.

Hahaha, I'm sure if this book wasn't in the library, another book would have been found and she would have been just as upset about it.

It baffles me that you see someone wanting to have the right to marry whoever they want as somehow infringing on your life. Wow. Just wow.
As for DEI training, is your HR dept saying you have to watch gay porn in the workplace? I'm pretty sure it is more about respect. Just like sexual harassment training isn't to teach you how to hit on your co-workers better. Let me explain it to you this way. If I wear a Metallica T-shirt to work one day, and you see it, it does not mean you have to wear a Metallica t-shirt also, or even like their music. I'll wear whatever the fuck I want to wear, within the established workplace guidelines, and you wear whatever the fuck you want to wear. I promise you I will not lose sleep over whatever t-shirt you wear to work. Ever!
As for the baker, were they being asked to adorn a cake topper of the couple having sex? Dildos and rainbows all over the cake? Or was the baker just being spiteful to someone that didn't share their particular religious views? It's such a stupid argument, I don't know why they didn't just go to a baker that was less of a bigot.
