Open letter to my fellow representatives: If we are going to sell out our citizens to the lobby of the Town Clerks Assoc., we should at least have the courage to have a roll call vote, especially when legislation is strategically slated to be heard on the last day of public session. (We should be held accountable to voters.)

But let’s see who is winning. The Town Clerk’s Assoc (administrative state) is with the tax dollars you pay them. (Each town pays for its membership in the NH City and Town Clerks Association (NHCTA).) Yet the same town clerks who swear an oath of office to defend the NH Constitution and their duties, responsible for accurate and up-to-date voter lists and safe and secure elections, have lobbied against support of legislation, including the examples of three below, that does just that!

Actions speak louder than words. Instead, it appears the NHCTA is following a national agenda, and my fellow elected officials are complicit in carrying their water. The Assoc. actions bring shame to those dedicated and hard-working clerks that follow the Constitution and truly care about their community’s voter integrity and confidence.

Town Clerks Assoc Lobby. #3 – Citizens & Voter Confidence #0

HB 1370 – Plainly stated by Rep. James Qualey of Rindge, the bill would address the potential for unqualified voters to cast a ballot in New Hampshire. The state has an obligation to ensure everyone qualified is able to vote; it also has an obligation to ensure unqualified voters do not vote, as it taints the entire system. Hats off this time to Senator Gray for at least endorsing and acting to support voter trust, confidence and integrity. Our rights to free, fair, and accurate elections are our most sovereign and precious constitutional rights. ( * Sec of State Scanlan was not directly opposed to this bill)

HB 1369 – to purge voter rolls every six years instead of 10 (Secretary of State supported four years in previous house testimony.) How ridiculous! Imagine not having your bank, Apple, Android, or Microsoft not upgrading or checking the validity of customers or security systems, but for every ten years.

HB 1007 – Unconstitutional “91-A. Right to Know Tax” on citizens that request public documents from their towns – information and documents they already pay taxes for. Signed by the Governor, do you think this will further boost citizen’s trust in government?

On his way out of the barn, Gov. Sununu turned out to be all hat and no cowboy when it came to protecting election integrity, confidence, and parent’s rights. Hopefully, he will “cowboy up” and sign HB 396 to protect women and girls in locker rooms and restrooms.

To my fellow representatives on both sides of the aisle, please, we must come together to represent the people when it comes to voting rights and NOT THE LOBBIEST. Keep this up and soon we will have a state and local government no longer instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the whole community. but instead for private interest and endangering our Liberty. See what happens next, Part 1, Art. 10, in the NH Constitution.

September 19, 2023 Pew Research Center

Currently, fewer than two in ten Americans say they trust the government in Washington to do what is right “just about always” (1%) or “most of the time” (15%). This is among the lowest trust measures in nearly seven decades of polling. Last year, 20% said they trusted the government just about always or most of the time.

Tropical Cyclone One is puttering about northwest of the Yucatan and projected to hang a hard left into the heart of Mexico. It’s not American landfall, and it’s not a real hurricane yet, so pooh on that. But it is as good a time as any to abuse a few Climate Cult articles of faith.

The common ones are that there are more hurricanes, they are stronger and larger, they come more often (one after another), or they are just meaner ombres. I made that last one up. These are all claims we are forced to endure every year from June to November. None of them happens to be true, to which we can now add a new shibboleth killer. Historically, a warmer planet leads to fewer landfalls than a cooler one, so global warming isn’t producing the coast-slamming terrorism advertised.

That’s important. More, larger, stronger, and more frequent don’t mean much if cyclones form and then wander around the ocean. They need to devastate significantly built-up areas along the coastline. Progressives have worked long and hard buying and developing oceanfront – perhaps for this very purpose. Add a little inflation, and what used to be millions of dollars in damage becomes billions in the blink of an eye. Billion sounds scarier, which can then be used to bilk everyone else with fear campaigns about soft lifestyles and their impact on storm damage to liberal-oceanview infrastructure.

Another important factor in hurricane frequency is the difference in temps between the equator and the poles. The greater the disparity, warmer oceans, and colder ice caps, the more likely we are to have more, stronger hurricanes. That’s according to professor and climatologist David Legates, who also explained why we will see fewer landfills when the world is generally warmer.

I think there was a study in 2001 by boost that looked at, looked at, yeah, land falling hurricanes going back to 1600. And in particular what that group found was from 1600 to 2000 in New England. This is Peterson, Massachusetts, Providence, Rhode Island area that from that 400 year period, the most active period was the 19th century. And I’ll ask the question rhetorically, what was the coldest period between 1600 and 2000? And the answer of course is the 19th century. Same research was done by Kerry Mock at the University of South Carolina. He did tropical cyclones impacting Charleston from 1778 to 1998.

The most active period in Charleston was the 19th century, which happened to be the coldest. And then a colleague of mine at LSU Kalu did some research in southern China, and he wrote remarkably, the two periods of typhoon strikes in Guangdong coincide with two of the coldest and driest periods in northern and central China. So the take home message here is that essentially if we have colder periods, we will get more hurricane activity.

So yes, history suggests that our journey out of the Little Ice Age to the present warming bump, and it’s just a bump, means fewer landfalls. The coastal growth guarantees that the landfalls we do have will cause more damage. That, in turn, produces hysteria that feeds the climate cult loop – a set of narratives that, as noted above, relies on the other lies for support.

The four horsemen are the number of storms, number of hurricanes, intensity (intense hurricanes and/or accumulated energy), and landfall frequency. The graphs accompanying the linked article show how science contradicts fearmongering.

Overlay one of the more popular atmospheric CO2 graphs, and you’ll find no correlation between that and any of this.

Feel free to share whatever you see as the need arises. Facebook users should use caution. Zuckerberger Meristerberger’s platform might not take kindly to science that contradicts the approved articles of faith.

The post Your State House – The Last Session appeared first on Granite Grok.

The legislature passed just this year S.220 – An act relating to Vermont’s public libraries. The ostensible need for the law was summed up by the WCAX headline, “Vermont Senate advances bill to discourage book banning.” This was, in great part, a reaction by our legislators to parents around the country objecting to highly sexualized materials being made available to age-inappropriate audiences in school libraries.

If you don’t believe the books in question are age inappropriate for middle schoolers, watch Senator Kennedy (R-Louisiana) read a passage from one of the books parents are objecting to. But do be very much warned! Once you click that link, you will not be able to un-hear what you hear there. It is quite disturbing. But, making this kind of material available to children without parental consent or oversight is what our lawmakers were really defending with S.220 by lowering the age of oversight from sixteen to twelve. Yup, twelve.

Unless authorized by other provisions of law, the library’s officers, employees, and volunteers shall not disclose the records except: (4) to custodial parents or guardians of patrons under age 16 12 years of age…

At this point, I do want to say that in my opinion the hype about “banning” books in schools is in many cases is overblown by both sides. The decision whether or not to teach a certain book in a class isn’t a “ban” on the book not chosen. It’s a question of priorities. We can argue if it’s a good idea to not teach Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mockingbird, or The Great Gatsby (it’s a terrible choice not to teach all of them) in favor of I, Rigoberta Menchú (trash) and The Kite Runner (great book, but canon literature?), and that debate would be healthy and fun to have.

Similarly, the desire to keep arguably pornographic material out of the hands and eyes of children isn’t really so much about banning books as it is about making appropriate choices.

But back to this legislation empowering librarians to safeguard the First Amendment by wielding S.220 as a sword against those who would stifle controversial points of view, and a hat tip to a BTL reader who shared this experience with Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library after asking about Riley Gains new book, Swimming Against the Current, Fighting for Common Sense in a World That’s Lost its Mind.

For those unfamiliar (and do come out from under your rock), Gains was a champion female college level swimmer who had her title taken away by a biological male competing as a woman. Since then, Gains has become an outspoken advocate for, according to her webpage, “…women’s single-sex spaces, advocating for equality and fairness, and standing up for women’s safety, privacy, and equal opportunities.” She is having an impact, and, needless to say, the transgender community does not like her. At all.

So, when this Burlington resident asked to borrow a copy of her book from the local library, this was the response:

Thank you for your recent title request of Swimming Against the Current by Riley Gaines. Unfortunately, the title you requested doesn’t meet our collection development policy criteria for purchase, and the book is unavailable to request through the inter-library loan system.  We do try our best to fulfill all patron requests when possible.

Take care,

Erin

Really? Google “Riley Gains” and you get thousands of news hits. Her story, intertwined with that of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, has been front page news since 2021. Gains is emerging as one of the most powerful feminist voices of her generation. Her book doesn’t meet your criteria? Not just for purchasing the book yourself (sure, space is limited) but not even borrowing it from another library that does stock it? This sounds an awful lot like, as the term is used today, a book ban!

A further inquiry summed up in a quick paraphrase here of “WTF”, got the more detailed explanation,

… the selection aids used by staff have been more clearly defined as: “Review in a standard reviewing source (e.g., Booklist, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews); reviews and discussion in national newspapers and magazines, local publications, broadcast media, and reputable online sources.”

The number of items published each year is huge and we cannot be subject matter experts in everything, so we rely on these reviews especially for non-fiction. Unfortunately, I could not find a review of “Swimming Against the Current” in any of the publications listed above, nor The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, etc.

And this is how the Left works its censorship magic: If none of us like it, none of us pay attention to it. If we don’t pay attention to it, it doesn’t exist. If it doesn’t exist, how can it be censorship not to make it available? Here, maybe you’d enjoy some child pornography instead. Bring some home to the kids!

So, in conclusion, it appears S.220 (now Act 150) is less about ending “book bans,” but rather empowering librarians to ban the books and points of view our lawmakers want banned, and insulating them from transparency and public criticism in the process.

Enron Corporation may have declared bankruptcy in 2001, but the company’s effect on America’s electric grid can still be seen today in states like California and Texas, where power prices are soaring and reliability is declining.

The push to treat electricity as a commodity instead of a service is particularly punishing in California, where electricity prices are increasing three times faster than in the rest of the U.S.

There is a story going around about how Kay, a single mom in Manchester, isn’t eligible for an Education Freebie Account (EFA) because she’s $90 over the income cutoff.

The conclusion reached by the author of the story is that we should have universal eligibility for EFAs.  But that’s backward.

First, note that cut-offs based on ‘income’ have always been kind of a goofy thing, and not just for the reason illustrated in the story.

Instead of setting up hard limits, why not have a sliding scale?  Have parents fill out the usual forms for financial aid (which have been refined over decades), and if they’re eligible for only a little help, give them a little; and if eligible for more, give them more.

Second, what counts isn’t ‘income’, but disposable income, and also assets.  The question has to be:  Once you’ve accounted for other necessities, how much can you come up with — not just from your income, but by selling off luxuries — to put towards the education of your own children?

This should also be the approach to public schools, by the way — which are a form of assistance, but one that’s handed out indiscriminately.  You should contribute what you can to the education of your own kids, and only if you fall short should the burden be shouldered by your neighbors.

(We have someone in our town who, freed of the requirement to come up with the $50,000 or so that our town was paying each year in tuition for her children, has been able to put that money into real estate.  So, she now owns several properties in the area, effectively gifted to her by taxpayers — one of whom had to have his daughter take out a personal loan to pay his school taxes.)

The answer isn’t to make public schools and EFAs handouts to people who may not need them. The answer is to make both into means-tested programs, with parents contributing as much as they can.

(You want to see school costs rolled back?  This is how you do it, with parents suddenly leading the effort instead of fighting it.)

Note that sliding scales for assistance aren’t a new idea.  We already see it with certain kinds of tax deductions and credits that phase out according to net income rather than gross income.  The more you make, the less assistance you get, and vice versa.  If you make enough that you don’t need any assistance, you don’t get any.

As far as Kay’s situation is concerned, the fact that $90 is the difference between no assistance and full assistance is ridiculous, but not in the way the author implies, and the solution isn’t the one he suggests.

The proper way to avoid this problem (and a lot of others) isn’t universal eligibility for EFAs but means testing for both public schools and EFAs.  They’re both forms of welfare and should be treated as such:

Four Simple Rules for Funding Education

The post Make Welfare … Welfare again appeared first on Granite Grok.

Informative post in NH-NeverTrump Journal about how OUT-OF-CONTROL “education” spending is in New Hampshire. I am … and have been for some time … so sick and tired of listening to the Sununu-bots/GOP-bots/Ayotte-bots repeating “New Hampshire Advantage,” “don’t mass up New Hampshire,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

New Hampshire SPENDS MORE on a per-pupil basis than virtually every other State in America.

And WORSE, our teachers are underpaid compared to other States because we pump so much money into the CRT/DEI/grooming bureaucracy. But what “conservatives” in New Hampshire are really good at (perhaps the ONLY thing they’re good at) is PRETENDING … pretending that Sununu, Ayotte, Morse are conservatives, pretending that a conservative can win in CD-2, pretending that New Hampshire is fiscally conservative, pretending that many, many school districts aren’t engaged in pushing CRT/DEI/grooming.

Car manufacturers make little, if any, money on EV sales. A dearth of charging stations discourages new buyers, who are also put off by high sticker prices. Sales of new electric vehicles have dropped off, as have used resale values. Manufacturers nevertheless proclaim these machines are here to stay and that they will keep making them regardless of whether consumers are willing to buy them. This upside-down sales plan may prove troubling for carmakers and consumers alike.

An Unusual Business Model

If traditional business models were in play, manufacturers would presumably produce cars that buyers desire rather than seek to create a market that doesn’t exist. However, in the ideological milieu of climate change urgency, the corporate tail seeks to wag the consumer dog, fueled by massive state and federal subsidies, EPA regulations that penalize gas-powered vehicle manufacture, and relentless propaganda that EVs will save the world. This tension between buyer and seller will unfold over time as either a win for green technology as sales improve or a loss for carmakers as buyers favor gasoline over electricity for transportation.

Car manufacturers have entered into an adversarial relationship with the majority of their customer base. One recent poll reported that 46% of respondents claimed they were unlikely or very unlikely to buy an EV. Of the electric units currently sold, 78% are categorized as “premium” or high-priced models. Mainstream American buyers are discouraged by high prices, range anxiety (fears of running out of power), and a lack of charging stations. Wealthier buyers are more likely to afford home charging stations as well as fancier chariots. It is unclear how manufacturers propose to bridge this stubborn divide.

Charging stations remain a sticky wicket for most buyers. Although the Biden administration pledged $7.5 billion to install charging stations nationally, to date there are only about 40,000, and a quarter of those are in California. The Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory counsels that at least 180,000 charging stations will be required by 2030. This chicken-and-egg competition between EVs and the stations needed to charge them will continue until sufficient charging facilities have been installed, which industry advocates claim will help EV sales turn the corner.

However, consumer complaints about charging reliability compound the availability problem. Increasingly, claims of environmental benefits are dented by revelations that lithium mines and aluminum smelting for EVs adversely impact the ecosystem. Grid capacity to meet the demands of those theoretical 180,000 stations is also in question. Consequently, resale values have plummeted for existing models.

New EPA tailpipe emission rules effectively mandate that 56% of all new car sales will be EVs by 2032, yet that percentage far exceeds current sales levels. Inflation remains sticky, the economy is wobbling, and President Biden just slapped Chinese EVs with a 100% tariff. In such a climate, the competition for car sales appears to be less between consumers and manufacturers and more between policymakers, regulators, and money printers.

The EV Future

General Motors and Ford still need to make a profit in EV sales, and both companies seek to design more affordable vehicles with broader model options. Despite slumping sales and high pricing, GM CEO Mary Barra claims the company remains committed to a 100% electric car fleet – regardless of how many Americans still want to buy a gas-powered car. GM claims it plans to sell exclusively electric models by 2035.  Historically, consumers have driven product demand, but today’s manufacturers have put the cart before the horse. According to Ford CEO Jim Farley, “the journey on EVs is inevitable, in our eyes.” And a GM spokesperson told NPR: “Although the rate of growth has slowed recently, EV demand is clearly moving in the right direction.”

It may be that manufacturers can successfully dictate demand for future car purchases to their customer base. Should the economy decline, food and housing inflation persist, charging stations remain a pipe dream, and reliability of vehicles and chargers continue to be problematic, the best-laid climate plans of carmakers may leave behind showrooms full of new EV museum pieces while workers are laid off and consumers favor affordable, vintage, gas-powered transport. This showdown will determine the outcome of the current tension between car manufacturers and their reluctant buyers, which one observer aptly described as “a troubling gap between expectations and reality.”

If you submitted an Op-Ed and we didn’t publish it (yet), there’s a good reason. Our stable of contributors (Groksters) has been cranking out a lot of material. Last week, I addressed this (to some degree) by dropping a lot more content than usual, but I’m reluctant to do it again.

When we exceed a certain threshold for updates, people stop clicking and reading. Put another way, it doesn’t increase traffic, and fewer people will likely read your content. Upcoming site design changes might mitigate that, and on that point, the design team tried uploading a test version of the new site to the new server. There were some issues, and they are working them out.

Anyway, new site – soon. I hope. And the home page layout is different from anything we’ve ever done before. The goal is a wider appeal to broader audiences across New England and the Nation. We’re Still GraniteGrok, but we’ve sorted things so people can get to what they want to ‘Grok! —New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Regional staff, National Stuff, and Global Stuff. They each have their own section on the home page and their own “page behind that,” and while some topics will cross categories – and the stuff up top will be the most recent, it’s … different.

I hope you like it. We also expect it to be quite a bit faster than the old one. I have not seen what the mobile version looks like, but once this is up and stable, debugged, tweaked, and seamless, we’ll move on to the mobile app, and that shouldn’t matter so much.

Fundraising.

The economy sucks, and we appreciate you giving what you can when you can, but I am obligated to bring it up a lot because this only works if we raise enough funds. Last year, we did well, but we did not raise enough, and I had to take part-time work to make up the difference. It is work I can mostly do from home. But I do it for several hours every day, so I am not free to do any of the reporting from Concord or event hopping I’d hoped to do. The session is over, so there’s that, but the campaign season has jump-started at the State level, and we will miss out on most of that, events, and so on.

I’m fine if you don’t care about us reporting from campaign events, but there are other stories we won’t be able to chase or follow up on. I get a lot of stuff I can’t commit to because of the time required to do it properly. I don’t have it.

We’ll get there at some point, just not this year and not yet.

We are currently raising funds for fiscal 2025, and we have a long way to go. It is mid-June, and we’ve got about 13% of what we need. At a minimum, we need to get to 60%, which is what happened last year. The recently updated ads to fundraise have resulted in some response, but since neither Skip nor I is any good at this part, it is a problem. And everyone is asking for money: campaigns, non-Protifts, Activists, and us.

If you are good at this fundraising thing, we could use your help.

Other Business

There is no word yet on whether we will attempt another Groktoberfest this year. Planning will have to start soon, and as noted above, we need to find ways to cover expenses. It’s an election year, so we’ll see what the venue situation looks like and what the costs are. We did make some money on last year’s event, so it is worth looking at.

And, as always, Thanks for reading!

In today’s environmentally conscious world, choosing eco-friendly products is more important than ever. Wooden phone cases offer a sustainable alternative to plastic and synthetic materials.

Sustainable Sourcing: Reputable manufacturers, like Woodgraw, ensure that their wood is sourced from sustainable forests. This helps in maintaining ecological balance and promoting responsible forestry practices.

Biodegradability: Unlike plastic, which can take centuries to decompose, wood is biodegradable. This means that wooden phone cases have a significantly lower environmental impact at the end of their lifecycle.

Reduced Carbon Footprint: The production process for wooden cases typically has a lower carbon footprint compared to plastic or metal cases. This is due to the natural, less energy-intensive processes involved in woodworking.

Support for Local Artisans: Purchasing a handcrafted wooden phone case often supports local artisans and small businesses, promoting sustainable economic practices and preserving traditional craftsmanship.

Practical Tips for Choosing the Right Wooden Phone Case

Selecting the perfect wooden phone case involves considering several factors. Here are some practical tips to guide your decision:

Compatibility: Ensure that the wooden case you choose is compatible with your specific phone model. Check for precise cutouts for buttons, ports, and the camera.

Protection Level: Consider how much protection you need. If you frequently drop your phone, look for a wooden case with reinforced corners and shock-absorbing features.

Weight and Thickness: Wooden cases can vary in weight and thickness. Choose a case that offers a good balance between protection and comfort in hand.

Aesthetic Preferences: Think about the look and feel you prefer. Different woods and finishes can create vastly different appearances, from rustic and rugged to polished and refined.

Budget: Wooden phone cases can range in price. While high-quality handcrafted cases may be more expensive, they often provide better durability and a more unique appearance.

Testimonials and User Experiences: Real Feedback from Wooden Case Users

To provide a well-rounded view, it’s helpful to consider the experiences of others who have used wooden phone cases. Here are some testimonials from users:

Emma, Graphic Designer: “I love my Woodgraw phone case! The walnut wood gives it a classy look, and I get compliments on it all the time. Plus, it’s surprisingly durable.”

It was in the low to mid-90s the past two days and will be the same today. Everyone around here is looking for ways to stay cool, checking on elderly neighbors, and keeping their pets indoors. But one thousand nine hundred fifty miles west of me, they got a foot of snow.

A low pressure system will bring heavy wet snow to portions of the Northern Rockies, increasing the risk of power outages and leading to difficult backcountry conditions tonight into Tuesday. Key messages are provided in the graphic below.

I blame global warming. It is the cause of everything – the proverbial Satan with Western worshipers who want nothing more than to be comfortable, which is an interesting coincidence. I got an email from our electricity provider in the days before the sweltering heat descended upon us. Their suggestion was to find ways to use less electricity. You don’t hear that when it’s cold and snowy – assuming you still have electricity. Freezing to death happens, but so does heat stroke and all that good stuff. This is why they also ask you to care for pets and check on the elderly. But wouldn’t it make more sense to be in a literal position of power? Where the infrastructure can’t wait to handle peak load times like 96-degree days in the Northeast?

It will be hot, but no worries—we have the capacity to spare. So stay cool, and remember to check on your elderly relatives and neighbors. And yes, we could make fists full of money, but your electric usage is your choice. We’re just happy to be able to provide when called upon.

That’s not the world you get to live in when the prevailing position of “leadership” is that you must learn to do with less.

That’s not America. And I’m not saying anyone should be wasteful or misuse the resources. I am suggesting that you don’t create anything, especially comfort, when your priority is convincing people to have less, do less, and be less.

Montana and Idaho’s snow will melt in a few days (at least at the lower altitudes), while the weather here in New Hampshire will get closer to normal. However, the agenda continues to be about decline and characterized by minimalism while the elites and ruling class spend away our future.

Minimalism should be a choice, not a command.

We have talked about President Joe Biden freezing three times in the last two weeks. He went into a trance at the Juneteenth festival, surrounded by folks dancing and clapping, but not stoic Joe. He was frozen like a statue.

In Italy, at the G7 meeting, where the heads of state focused on the skydiver who landed closest to the group, Joe was walking off toward another group of divers when he was stopped and turned around by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Finally, Joe was on stage with Barack Obama at a fundraiser when he froze again and was rescued by Obama, who led Joe off the stage. These three situations happened within ten days.

When Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the situation, she immediately claimed Right-wing media teams manipulated the videos to make the president look especially bad. She called the videos “cheap fake,” and the news agencies should be called out for spreading misinformation or disinformation. KJP is the one who should be called out. The videos in question were official pool feeds of the event and were shown in their entirety. Nobody in the briefing room challenged the liar secretary. KJP is a National Embarrassment. She went on to say these fakes show how desperate the Republicans are that instead of talking about the many accomplishments of Biden, they disparage him instead.

Legacy media joined forces with the White House, and people like Nicole Wallace and Joe Scarborough were apoplectic in their reporting of the Cheap Fakes. These mainstream media outlets had nothing to say about the White House refusing to release the audio version of the President’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. They know the tone of the audio transcript would be very dangerous for the president.

In another document that should be rather innocuous is the Defense Budget proposal. Ordinarily the budget is given its new budget number based on the previous year’s numbers. Fortunately, someone on the Right performed their due diligence and read the budget. Buried in the text was an edict to have every female register for the draft upon her 18th birthday. Republican members of Congress were furious when they learned of the additional verbiage added to the budget and vowed not to vote for any defense bill calling for young women to register for the draft.

KJP lectured the White House Press Pool, and it is disappointing that not a single person stood their ground and told Karine she was wrong. These “reporters” are part of the problem when they hear a blatant falsehood and do not challenge the person spewing the misinformation. They are complicit in their inaction. The actions of the White House are a perfect example of projection, and it is insulting.  I had two articles censored by Facebook last week that contained nothing but facts and opinions. Still,  this woman, who speaks for the President, can lie to us every time her lips move behind the mic is destructive to the government’s credibility. Thankfully we have only seven months left before she is retired.

The post Lies And Deceit Will Be Biden Legacy appeared first on Granite Grok.

The last time I looked at myself in the mirror, I did not see a rabid, clueless, insane, brainless Trump worshipper, as the sheeple of Biden’s flock love to call me – and call 81 million other supporters of Donald Trump.

I see a sensible, rational, independent thinker who possesses self-directed reasoning. I can judge for myself on the issues based on policies of an administration, not on the emotional perceptions and disinformation of character as told by a partisan media.

The Biden sheeple are helplessly captivated by what the Democrat-owned liberal mainstream media tells them. It is all about partisan power. Democrats own the vast majority of all media outlets in this country and, therefore, control the message and control the people.

Most people get their news from the MSM, and they parrot what they’re told. Liberal media perpetuate their unchallenged lies and false claims of Trump and the people believe them. They react emotionally and retaliate with melodramatic name-calling against Trump supporters.

And the hate continues.

Even an intelligent person like attorney Bill Shaheen, in his May 22 op-ed, makes a fool of himself by parroting the false media narrative of Trump being a dictator on day one. Shaheen’s mind appears to be closed to the fact that Trump said he would be ‘dictator’ ONLY on day one – and that was to close our borders.

Shaheen also makes ridiculous claims, without proof, of Trump dismantling military protections. In his first term, President Trump rebuilt our military and he projected strength to our enemies and security to our allies. Trump also signed defense bills providing more than $25 million to support New Hampshire’s Army National Guard. He signed the VA Mission Act which improved access to timely, quality health care for all our veterans.

Shaheen is proud to be a veteran and should be. Our thanks go out to him for his service. However, to denigrate Trump for not answering the call of service without also mentioning that Biden, Obama, and Clinton did not serve in the military exposes Shaheen’s partisan hypocrisy. Shame on him.

If you’ve heard the term ‘kangaroo court’ but never knew what it meant, you’ve now witnessed one in a Manhattan courtroom. This was not a judicial proceeding, it was a political proceeding; a nauseating show of an imperial court system in NYC.

Judge Juan Merchan is compromised. As a Biden political donor he has exhibited judicial partiality by refusing to recuse himself. The Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who initially refused to prosecute the misdemeanor charge against Trump more than seven years ago is equally corrupt. Once Trump announced he is running for president, the charge has been engineered and elevated from a misdemeanor to a felony. It stinks.

The machinations of the case have never been made clear and remain unsolved. How does a misdemeanor charge which DA Bragg, and his predecessor opted not to prosecute seven years ago, now suddenly become a felony? Where is the crime? Does it exist only in the imaginations of a Trump Derangement Syndrome-suffering judge and prosecutor?

It is clearly a case of lawfare and is 100% politically motivated.

The constant attacks against Trump are the primal screams of a dying regime. But the liberal media bias against Trump will continue to captivate the uninformed Trump haters with disinformation and misleading narratives. And the Biden sheeple will remain besotted with the lies.

Biden is the most divisive president ever. His weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI and his targeting of a political opponent is an affront to American Values and Law & Order.

According to the Washington Post Biden’s approval rating is now down to 37%. The lowest rating of any U.S. president in history. Inflation is rampant…prices at the pump and the grocery store continue to hurt Americans. Our borders are in shambles.

Biden keeps saying that no one is above the law. That should include illegals too!

The Biden Administration poses a moral and financial threat to our Democracy. Not to the Democrats’ version of Democracy. But to a Democracy for everyone!

Policies matter. Don’t be brainwashed. Think for yourselves.

The post Bill Shaheen’s Hyperbolic Fearmongering appeared first on Granite Grok.

“Joe is so effective in spite of his age, but because of it,” Jill Biden said as she addressed a group of seniors this week. The discussion of age is delicate and subjective. The age number is a marker of time since birth but tells little about the condition and quality of one’s life.

Dr. Jill does not understand this concept, as well as many others, as she drew a direct comparison between Joe at 81 and Trump at 78, saying they are virtually the same age. Chronologically, she is correct, but there is no comparison between the two presidents’ energy levels and mental acuities. You just need to open your eyes as you watch these two men go about their duties. The reality of the disparity is so controversial that it is challenging to understand.

Is this woman not looking, or does the First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, have an ulterior motive for encouraging Joe to stay in the race? If the reason is to fatten the retirement fund, then shame on her. If it is to be a safety net for Hunter, then Biden has set America up for another big lie. Biden has already assured America that he will not retaliate and will not pardon or commute his son. Rest assured that should he lose in November or be replaced on the ballot, his last act going out the door will be a pardon or commutation for the First Son.

This election should not be close. It is the first time in modern history that two presidents are running for re-election. This scenario allows us to evaluate their records. Remove the pandemic from Trump’s first term; his results far exceed Biden’s. Biden basically reversed every Trump initiative or achievement on Day One in 2021. After Trump’s gains, Biden’s actions and policies have put America in a dark place. Trump is gaining in the polls as Biden is dropping, but watching these two men and evaluating their plans, the spread should be even more expansive in Trump’s favor.

Now, we have to address the elephant in the room. Can we be assured of a fair election? Unfortunately, the answer is no.

The Democrat’s election playbook is far more advanced than the Republican’s, and not every play is Kosher or legal. They are already the masters of the ballot box. They have the correct message to address Early Voting, Absentee Ballots, Campus Voting, Ballot Harvesting, and Voter Transportation. There is one more new voter activity that should be sounding alarms.

According to the New York Post: Welfare offices and other agencies in 49 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship, leading Republicans and conservatives to call for swift federal action to stop the handouts

Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.

There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.

However, millions of migrants with humanitarian parole, refugee, or asylum status are eligible for benefits that would bring them to the offices where voter registration occurs.

The Democrats see these activities as legal, while Republicans contend they are a stretch of election laws. Any questioning of these practices by the Right is labeled as “election interference” by the Left. Trump should defeat Biden handily on a level playing field. With the Left, there is no such field.

The 2024 Presidential contest is unique in that both candidates’ records are publicly reviewable. This has rarely occurred, and never were they so diametrically different. This available data nullifies the usual campaign boasting and promising and may simplify the choice.

Such an offering, if common sense is still in play, shows that one side is such a total failure that it’s a stretch even to award a “participation trophy” when screwing up has been this damaging and dangerous!

Our political world has been in a reset mode for roughly the last ten years, mainly due to the influence of a non-career candidate who eventually refused payment for his service to our country. Say what? This rare sacrifice has been absent since President Washington. Between these bookends of patriotic integrity are the legions of bureaucrats who seek both the maintenance of power and self-betterment at any cost.

So, comparatively speaking, this division is so stark that the political bias that normally fuels all campaign seasons now centers upon name-calling and slanderous accusations, which are strengthened by this blatant, in-your-face lying, which typifies the desperation from contending against a truthful opponent.

Today’s political restructuring has been a long time in coming since one side has operated in these falsehoods, which over time have been believed in part because “that’s the way it’s always been.”

Occasionally, a truthful approach was presented but neutralized by an avalanche of distortions and false propaganda. In the early fifties, Ohio’s conservative Senator, Robert Taft, was about to be the Republican candidate until “the hero” of WWII, Eisenhower, switched parties and bested Taft in the primary. Then there was Sen. Barry Goldwater in 1964, who was hammered in the media and was falsely connected in a TV commercial depicting a little girl plucking flower petals as an atomic mushroom cloud rises in the background. This slanderous but frightful example signaled future distortions, ala, Trump will start WWIII if elected!

However, the difference between back then and 2016 was the element of surprise. The latter contest featured one side joking, even guaranteeing that Trump would “never be President.” Some were so confident, they even pleaded for him to enter the race, while considering it to be just another promotional stunt from a showman. They failed to listen or even notice that his heart rang with loving words of praise for his country! His opposition was ultimately shocked but the Country benefited greatly!

As stated, today presents a probable election certainty by undeniable comparisons. One side has proven to be beneficial, while the other has yet to promote one problem-solving initiative or simply even one worthwhile suggestion! This feat seems almost impossible when being the leader of the country he is trying to “unify” but actions speak louder than words, always have and always will!

So this is the stage on which the opponents will vie for our Presidency. We need not list the negatives versus the positives, however, maybe a deserving comment or two.

First, why the re-opening of our borders so that who knows who enters but more unsettling, who cares? From this anti-American policy, voters are left wondering just which country our President is serving! Secondly, is the prostitution of this climate hysteria at the point that the gasoline engine is such a devastating enemy that we now must buy electric vehicles! Imagine this “must buy” edict in “the land of the free!” In addition, this Presidential “uniter” has just about outlawed all of America’s oil production while continuing to close our fossil-fuel-generating plants.

No longer can lofty promises combined with slandering the opponent carry the election season to success since campaigning must tackle the impossible task of putting a mask on an ineptness that borders upon treason!

When the lies are intended to dismiss what has already been personally witnessed, the “jig is up!” What else is left? I shuttered to think, especially when talk surfaces about whether Secret Service protection is still warranted when the protected one is a convicted felon! This is a very precarious atmosphere and one that truly defines the meaning of this November.

On June 15th, Woke-Communist OLIGARCHS like George Clooney and Jimmy Kimmel hosted a “fundraiser” for BidenX … attended by the billionaires that the corrupt “media” keep telling us BidenX is “fighting” for us.

And BidenX had ANOTHER BRAIN FREEZE … and had to be led off the stage LIKE A CHILD by Obama.

 

The Biden “freeze” cut is a single camera shot, never moves off Biden.

This Biden team footage cuts away multiple times, then goes to a far-away cam shot when Biden freezes, before Obama escorts him off by the hand. https://t.co/8FniDbpuVK

The post ICYMI – Biden Had ANOTHER Brain Freeze appeared first on Granite Grok.

The Left, moderates and Radicals alike, have banded together to quickly respond and react to any statement they can elaborate on, use to their advantage, and be consistent on topic across the party as quickly as humanly possible. It does not matter if the facts are correct.

If you say something often enough, and the mainstream media covers you and substantiates your story, everyone to the left of reality will believe you.

This week, this coordinated effort to take a sound bite or quote from Donald Trump and twist and manipulate it to mean the opposite of the original. During Trump’s meetings with Republican Congressional members, he allegedly commented about Milwaukee, the host city of the upcoming Republican convention. From people in the room who heard the President firsthand, Trump was commenting on the crime problem in Milwaukee and the status of election integrity in Wisconsin. He referred to both as horrible.

Of course, many who were not in the room, politicians, celebrities, and, of course, the media, took great liberties in quoting the President, who they did not hear. Suddenly, the specific comments on two real situations became a general statement that Milwaukee was a “horrible city.” The media was in a frenzy, and Democrats seized the opportunity to pounce.

This reaction from the Left showed how quickly they could mobilize and distribute a message. Of course, they took to the air with their versions of Trump’s words, billboards went up in Milwaukee to show the residents what the Former President thought of them, t-shirts and pins were available to commemorate the moment, and nobody asked the one simple, basic question of these people; were you in the room and what did the President say.

With a President who has gone into three deep freezes in the last week, the Democrats have a candidate who embarrasses more often than enlightens, no policies that the public will embrace, and a track record that has nothing to brag about. They have no choice but to turn up the gaslighting and outright lie.

Karine Jean-Pierre held the first White House Press Briefing in three and one-half weeks. This is unconscionable at a time when we have two wars, a border still in crisis, and an election in about five months. She had to know she would field questions on Biden’s recent health issues, yet the best she could do was claim the videos were manipulated. Are you kidding? This theory is even worse than the Democrats disavowing the Hunter Biden laptop or the Biden Cartel has not raked in millions selling influence in Washington. It was disgusting and further fueled by KJP’s grossly condescending tone she used when delivering this drivel.

America deserves better than they are getting from this White House, or do they since they put this Team Biden in the White House? I am convinced that Joe Biden will not be the candidate, and the chances are better than even if there is no debate. The question is, who will the Dems pull off their weak bench to finish the game? Talk today actually hinted at Hillary warming up in the bullpen. On the same day, it was disclosed that every federal agency interacting with illegal migrants is handing out voter registration forms. The Democrat election corruption is rising to new levels, and it may be impossible to beat whichever inadequate candidate they may call upon.
