When Gasoline is $100 per Gallon

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-05-23 22:00 +0000

It is a mathematical fact that gasoline in the U.S. will eventually rise to $100 for a gallon (perhaps $130 for those interested in higher octane). This is not fear-mongering but basic arithmetic and economics.  Here’s why.

The price of goods and labor is directly linked to money supply and market factors.  This is not merely “supply and demand” economics but an issue of overheating (or overleveraging) an economy by printing and/or borrowing too much money.  When a government prints more money than the underlying economy is generating in real wealth, this is essentially a form of borrowing, often called “debt monetization.”

The United States has been doing this for decades, staving off the ordinary fluctuations in the economy punctuated by innovations and growth alternating with recessions – borrowing money in times of turmoil softens the blow, but also forestalls the consequences.

This is seen not just in the reckless Biden-Harris spending extravaganza masked by upside-down monikers such as “Build Back Better” or the “Inflation Reduction Act,” but across party lines and even centuries.

Notably, the largely forgotten S & L Crisis of the 1980s under the Reagan administration was never paid off: the proverbial can was simply kicked down the economic road (subject to compound interest, of course).  The S & L debacle is estimated to have cost U.S. taxpayers some $132 billion, chump change by today’s debt measures. But that “crisis” caused the collapse of more than 1,000 U.S. banks and the insolvency of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.

That $132 billion in 1980s dollars has not yet been paid off – it was simply rolled into the national deficit, followed by decades of mostly deficit spending by both parties.  The 2007-2008 financial crisis is estimated to have cost taxpayers some $498 billion, though President Obama famously lied to taxpayers in 2012, claiming the government recouped “every dime” used to rescue the banks he bailed out.  Whatever the actual sum, it remains subsumed in the accumulated national federal deficit of about $35 trillion.

Imagine running a household on infinite credit card debt, and you understand the federal government’s profligacy.  But it is much worse than that.  When unfunded entitlement obligations such as Medicaid and Social Security are counted, the current total estimated debt of the U.S. government exceeds $100 trillion, and the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is above 122%.  Currency and credit derivatives approximated $90 trillion in 2000, when U.S. Treasury dollars were $3,546,531,560, according to usdebtclock.org; they now exceed $1,576,612,150,000 – 444 times as much printed money in 25 years, far outstripping real GDP growth.

A 2024 Ford F-150 now sells for $36,770 ($73,735 for the Platinum model).  Has the truck’s “value” increased, or has the relative value of the dollar simply deteriorated?  The answer is a tad of both – these 2024 trucks have more gadgets and extras (the Platinum is a hybrid) than a 1986 Ford F-150, which retailed for $8,373 ($19,587.47 in today’s dollars).  But that difference between $8,373 and $19,587 is all inflation, which is accelerating dangerously despite Biden administration deceptions.

The moral hazard is that rewarding one’s pet projects and crony donors by printing money and disbursing it favorably is hard to trace.  The impact of this practice always falls on the poorest wage earners and fixed-income recipients in the form of higher prices and shrunken real incomes, but it is virtually impossible to link back to root causes, thus the temptation to do so because there is no accountability.

In his monetary policy study titled “Money Mischief,” economist Milton Friedman traces this conundrum, emphasizing that overprinting money is always what causes inflation:

According to Milton Friedman (1963)—and also the Deutsche Bundesbank (1999)—inflation is “always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon” and thus the responsibility of central banks. This conclusion builds on the so-called quantity equation (M * V = P * Y), which establishes a relationship between the quantity of money controlled by central banks (M), the price level (P), the quantity of all goods and services produced (Y) and the velocity of money in circulation (V). If the velocity of money in circulation is constant, then the price level rises if the money supply grows faster than the quantity of all goods and services produced.

Friedman also warned that all fiat currencies eventually collapse because they are not backed by actual physical assets.  This means that just like that F-150, the price of a gallon of gas will eventually climb to $100/gallon and that wages will never keep pace – without regard to oil supply shortages or interruptions in distribution (such as could be inflicted by an Iranian attack on numerous oil-shipping choke points).

A glimpse of what is inevitably coming to American shores is found in the example of Zimbabwe, which also shows that math, and money-printing, are not racist but color blind – they don’t care what skin color, social justice cause, or Utopian fantasy is employed to violate their fundamental logic.  Robert Mugabe tried to harness the Zimbabwean economy for social spending (“social justice”), with devastating effects on that nation’s currency and people.  Inflation rates reached nearly 250,000,000 % in 2008, though they have subsided to “merely” 57.5 % currently.  A $10 trillion Zimbabwean note can be purchased for about $10 U.S.

The U.S. dollar is not immune to such abuses, and America is on the precipice of a monetary disaster (to be “rescued” by an all-controlling digital currency).  As one commentator observed in October 2022 of Biden-seeded inflation:

….the M2 money supply is up 41.6% over the past three years.  So while not all inflations are caused by rapid money growth, this one is.  Indeed velocity has actually slowed during this period, which means that more than 100% of the inflation comes from monetary policy as defined by Friedman.  Thus, at least this time around: It’s the money supply, stupid.

The United States Congress created a bipartisan commission to tackle rising debt, but in an election year there is bipartisan hesitancy to take this mighty monetary bull by its inflationary horns:

More than six months later, the proposal appears all but dead, extinguished by vocal opposition from both the right and the left.

Facing the reality that any fiscal commission would almost certainly suggest that Americans pay more or get less from their government, lawmakers have time and again done what they do so well: punt the problem to the next Congress. And they seem poised to do so again.

This means that even without interruptions of foreign oil supplies or Biden policies shrinking U.S. energy production and oil drilling, reckless U.S. monetary policy promises to drive the price at the pump for gasoline far above a paltry $100/gallon.  In the future, American fathers and mothers will not nostalgically say, “I remember when gas was 17 cents a gallon.”  They will tell their children, “I remember when gasoline was only $100 a gallon.”

Did Joe Biden Really Say That

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-05-23 20:00 +0000

There are many ways to look at Biden’s comments when he goes off teleprompter. First, it shows his mental acuity is gone, which most logical observers have been saying for a few years. Two, it shows his little respect for anyone across the aisle, and this is from the man who promised to be the great unifier. It makes us salivate at the thought of this feeble old man debating Trump.

At one of his campaign stops over the weekend, Biden was working hard to scare his listeners, and they were just a few, by telling them what kind of Judge Trump would appoint to the Supreme Court if he got a chance. He qualified his thought, saying, “Does he even know how to nominate a judge with a brain?” Are you kidding me? Can this man be any less respectful? I don’t think so. How do the three Supreme Court justices he appointed – Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett feel about the current President, who cannot string two sentences together, questioning their intelligence intelligence? That is rich, very rich!

Sometimes, Biden doesn’t even have to speak to show his ignorance. We all remember the flag-draped remains of the thirteen service people returning to America at Dover Air Force Base. Pictures don’t lie, but Biden and his surrogates do. Biden has denied it, and Jenn Psaki, Biden’s Press Secretary, wrote in her recent book that Biden did not glance at his watch during the dignified transfer.

Just a week ago, Biden showed his lack of respect for the former President, “That other guy, that loser. I think he’s having trouble,” Biden said, without referring to Trump by name. The insult was met with laughter in the ballroom for an event honoring Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. “That other guy, that loser. I think he’s having trouble,” Biden said, without referring to Trump by name. The insult was met with laughter in the ballroom for an event honoring Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. To be fair, Trump shows no respect for the current President.

Speaking to the NAACP this weekend in Detroit, he referenced his tenure as Vice President during the Pandemic when Barack Obama sent him to Detroit to help fix it. What is he talking about? He was VP from 2009 to 2017, and the Pandemic did not hit until 2020! Somebody, please fact-check this old man.

In April, President Biden made the sign of the cross, a gesture Catholics often make before and after prayer, while listening to pro-abortion comments by a fellow Democrat in Florida. “Biden’s decision to make the sign of the cross in support of abortion extremism is a despicable charade that attempts to co-opt a sacred practice in support of his new abortion religion,” added CatholicVote President Brian Burch. “His gesture openly mocks the Christian belief in the sanctity of life.”

“There is no divine support for destroying the lives of innocent children, and he should know better,” Burch added. “Biden’s gesture suggests he is either terribly naive, or senile, or callously indifferent to the foundational beliefs of millions of Christians in America.”

The last sentence in Burch’s statement sums up Joe Biden perfectly. “He is either terribly naive, or senile, or callously indifferent to the foundational beliefs of millions of Christians in America.” It is not just Christians but anyone on the Right side of the aisle. For a man who was to unify, he widened the aisle to a four-lane highway with Do Not Cross signs at the entire length. No President, not even Jimmy Carter, has done as much in one term to bring down Americans and America.

“Why Do You Do This Stuff?” – With Ken Eyring and Tom Murray Part 2/3

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-05-23 18:00 +0000

To recap from Part 1: “It needs to be done by someone so why NOT us?”. Yeah, that’s a great summarization of this 3-Part interview with Ken Eyring and Tom Murray

GIP – the Government Integrity Project – was founded by Ken and Tom a number of years ago. Its  mission, with their relentless (and sometimes, ruthless – heh!) is in being vigilant in finding out where Government is not playing with a straight deck with what it is supposed to do – cut . And like with Windham, NH, finding out locals here in NH where such tomfoolery (and faux foppery in trying to do the “cover up waltz” to throw people off their scents). “Good ole’ boys” networks, self-centered politicians, and unelected, unaccountable, and unassailable bureaucrats should be looking over their shoulders.

The strains from the TV show should be bouncing in your head right about now “Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?”. Yup, GIP knows what to do.

And, both have their own individual stories to tell – and they did!

Part 2:

!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u359331"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");

The Star Witness May Become The Defendant

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-05-23 16:00 +0000

The question of the day with no wrong answer is which man is the biggest sleazebag- Michael Avenatti or Michael Cohen. Both are lawyers, con artists, liars, and now thieves. Grammarly just informed me that sleazebag may be inappropriate. Absolutely not; it is not vile enough for these two individuals.

The connection between these two men is the ridiculous felony trial against Donald Trump by the State of New York. Michael Avanati stole from the porn star witness who was used to embarrass Trump, and he is now doing time. Cohen, who was the star witness against Donald Trump, has already done time for perjury. He was a convicted liar and, after his confession today that he stole $60,000 from Trump in lieu of a bonus he was denied, is now a thief. Alvin Bragg has to charge Cohen to save face in this farce of a trial.

The case against Trump is in its fifth week, with closing arguments scheduled to begin next Tuesday, and there has still not been a crime charged against Biden. How can you have a trial when no law is identified or violated or a victim?

Most of the so-called legal experts on CNN and MSNBC were flabbergasted after Cohen’s confession, except for Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC, who did his dramatic best to justify the theft by Cohen as compensation for the unpaid bonus. What a fool. This guy should be writing soap operas because he lacks credibility as a political analyst. No, Lawrence, there is no justification. Cohen did not earn his bonus, and to take the money as compensation is theft, plain and simple.

This case is Lawfare in 2024. Forty years ago, the Justice Department at the state and federal level had accountability. If there was a crime, a grand jury was called, charges were filed, and a court case proceeded. Today, politicians use the Justice Department to attack opponents, manufacture a charge, and tie the person up in the system for months. If you bankrupt the individual, so much the better. If, forty years ago, an aspiring DA ran on the promise of destroying a political individual, they were chastised and probably pulled from the election. Today, that same DA candidate is cheered and elected. The system has gone rank and stinks, but it is the public to blame, for it is votes that put these people into office. Alvin Braggs, Leticia James, and Fanni Willis are the poster children of what is wrong. Sadly, these three are Black, and rather than take advantage of the opportunity they have been given to do something positive, they pull the race and WOKE card to feed an agenda. It is a sick system and a sad statement about where our society is in 2024.

We can and must do better. We must insist on a higher caliber individual to run for office and never cast a vote for anyone who does not measure up. If not, these agenda-driven individuals will play the system, and we will continue to write about the problem.

Author’s Note: Thank you to all of the Granite Grok readers, especially those who take the time to comment on my articles. Today is my 1,300th published article, and the Grok is my favorite platform to syndicate my work because of you.

Community Schools Offering Cross-Sex Hormone Therapy to Children

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-05-23 14:00 +0000

At the beginning of the legislative session, Senator Dan Innis proposed legislation that would allow school districts to contract with a health care provider, health system, or community partner to establish a school based health center for the purpose of providing services to students beyond the scope of school nursing services.  The public made sure this dangerous Bill never made it out of the New Hampshire Senate.

Unfortunately some schools in New Hampshire have gone rogue, and are now working with school based health clinics like Amoskeag in Manchester. My hope is that a parent and attorney will challenge this in court since there has been no legislative approval for these kinds of clinics in our schools.

What have we found out about some of these clinics around the country? We know a high school girl in Maine was prescribed an antidepressant without her parents’ knowledge or consent.  There are plenty of examples where parents have been kept in the dark when their child visits the school-based health clinic.

The latest example comes from Seattle, where a public school-based health clinic will be offering children cross-sex hormones as part of their school day.

What does Amoskeag offer children who visit its school-based health clinic in Manchester? You can find more about that here.

First, parents need to ensure that each visit to a school counselor, behaviorist, doctor, or nurse is accompanied by a parent. In addition, parents should consent to all of this. That does not mean blanket consent but consent for each visit and service.

Some parents concerned about privacy rights or who do not trust that they will be respected in their parental role have already started notifying the school district that they are not to provide these services to their children.

If parents do encounter problems associated with these school based health clinics, they can contact me, and I will help them look into the situation. Some of the employees working in these clinics have made it clear that parents will be cut out of this process. They will not notify them or ask them for consent. Since it’s federally funded, they don’t believe parents have a right to know or consent to this treatment. That’s something every parent needs to consider if their district heads in this direction.

Dave Martin: The Pandemic Was A Planned Marketing Test

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-05-23 12:00 +0000

We’re always looking for anything that will inform our readers and trigger the fragile snowflakes, and this clip might be just what the under-trained, ill-informed public school health clinic counselor ordered.

It might be a bit more triggering than informing, as our readership is well-versed on the subject and aware of the participants. Dr. David Martin was relatively unknown to a majority of Americans until the Plandemic movie, after which he became a go-to resource and household name among those daring to ask the wrong questions about the Wuhan Flu and the political response to it.

We’ve shared some of David’s observations in the past (here, if interested), so his recent appearance on Russell Brand’s podcast (naturally) caught my attention. It’s a great conversation you can watch in its entirely here, but I wanted to clip a bit and share it to get the thoughts of this community.

Russel and Dave had been talking about governments and wars running cover for what was essentially a legalized drug cartel beginning with opium and how the latest enrichment of Big Pharma isn’t much different from the British Empire’s arrangement with the East India Company and the export of opium for fun and profit. Martin essentially says if you read their own words this was all deliberate with specific goals.

Like I said, it’s a great conversation. Here’s the clip.

Kudos To Ross Berry

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-05-23 10:00 +0000

So, I was mentioned in a recent post titled ROSS BERRY by someone named Anonymous. So I should respond, and I do as follows: KUDOS TO ROSS BERRY! To hell with the NH Democrats, who should be getting called Woke-Communists because that is what they are.

Screw people who support grooming children, chemically castrating children, aborting seven-eight-nine-month-old unborn babies, who believe that they can lock other people in their homes in the name of “public health” and force them to inject experimental drugs; etc., etc., etc… F-them.

So kudos to Ross Berry for apparently sticking it to the Woke-Communists.

And f**k any “Republicans” who have a problem with Ross Berry apparently sticking it to the Woke-Communists. Such “Republicans” are, AT BEST, useless, have no idea what they are dealing with, and, as a practical matter, are delusional if they actually believe that it is possible to “bipartisan” and “find common ground” with Woke-Communists.

And kudos to Ross Berry for moving his family out of Manchester. The city is a total SH*THOLE, and any parent(s) who leaves their child(ren) to be groomed and indoctrinated by the  Woke-Communist-bureaucrats running the Manchester public schools, if they can get them the hell out of that sh*thole of a city, is committing child abuse. Family ALWAYS comes before politics.

Of course, many of the policies pushed by Ross Berry have contributed to turning Manchester into the sh*ttiest of sh*tholes. But that’s a discussion for elsewhere.

Night Cap: Carla Gericke, what is the most important thing that GraniteGrok has brought to NH?

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-05-23 02:00 +0000

As you folks already know or remember, last October, we had our first Groktoberfest for Conservatarian (Conservative & Libertarian) activists to do what political folks do – yak, eat, shoot some guns (‘natch – held at the Londonderry Fish and Game club), and listen to a few people tell us their stories…

…and yak, yak, and yak some more. Even though some view politics as rather boring and irrelevant, activists hold quite the opposite view. To the point that the “main events” fade into the background as the yakking just continues.

Again, at the event, I announced my semi-retirement (surprising to me – I didn’t even know I was going to do it!) from the ‘Grok I had founded 18 years ago due to family issues that HAD to take priority. And in doing so, I turned over everything over to Steve knowing that it would be in the best of hands – I was not disappointed.

Sidenote: And that is the reason why I am taking this opportunity to ask you to donate to GraniteGrok. We are all volunteers, but with Steve’s full-time job gone away, this is the opportunity to keep him and all the time he puts in with his wit, wisdom, and dry humor full-time in a paying position. We were lucky with his old job – nooks and crannies of time always showed up, and he spent it spinning up post after post. However, if he has to look for another full-time job, there’s no guarantee that he’d have the same amount of time for you all to enjoy.

Thus, my keyboard went silent until deciding that things had calmed down enough so that I could resume this hobby obsession (much to the dismay of some, I bet).

So, seven months later, Life is allowing me the time to process some older videos and start putting them up on Rumble (Steve, during my absence, decided on Rumble instead of YouTube—I’m good with that even though I have to learn a whole new system).

Given that Groktoberfest was about GraniteGrok and the 18 years that we’ve been serving NH, the micro-interview question was:

“What was the reason all these folks returned, time after time after time, to read our opinions, hear about our political activism, and ride along with investigations we had done over the years?”.

Short and to the point:

What Fracking and Lithium Have In Common (Enviros Will Hate This)

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-05-23 00:00 +0000

The left ‘hates’ fossil fuels the same way they ‘hate’ guns. They need them, you don’t. Fracking was a logical target because it produces the energy we need at prices everyone can afford. Killing it was a priority, and kill it they did, but new research suggests it might be a critical part of the supposed green energy transition.

It turns out that the Marcellus Shale —  a long swath of sedimentary rock in the northeastern United States that holds huge amounts of frackable gas — holds huge quantities of lithium too. Justin Mackey and other researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pennsylvania were pleasantly surprise when they studied the contents of wastewater dredged up in the fracking process at 515 sites in the Keystone State, reports Science Alert. …

When they analyzed the wastewater data, they were stunned by the volume of lithium. The shale “has the capacity to provide significant lithium yields for the foreseeable future” he says. Their detailed findings were published in Scientific Reports.

No one is concluding that all frackable shale despots will likewise result in a commensurate connection to lithium, but how amusing would that be? The Marcellus deposits, if continuously developed, address a pressing need of the climate cult and its energy transition. Lithium is essential and we don’t have much capacity. There is a goal to develop US capacity as a drunken nod to the notion of domestic lithium independence. And it turns out that getting there from here – aside form being totally unnecessary for the scores of reasons we’ve covered elsewhere – might require the tin-foil-hat-left to support fracking.

The Thacker Pass mine in northern Nevada, which is supposed to be the nation’s largest open-pit lithium mine. Indian tribes sued, claiming the mine is too close to the site of an 1865 massacre.  Environmentalists sued, saying the mining process will destroy animal habitats and harm groundwater. Now the federal Fish and Wildlife Service is doing a year-long study on the potential impact to a tiny snail.

The Frackers are already established and operational. The physical footprint of oil and gas installations if tiny compared to traditional lithium extraction. It is a solution to a non-problem they’ll have to swallow their pride and ignorance to embrace but they may have no choice.

How amusing is that?

Police Forces Finally See a Post-Floyd Rebound

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-22 22:00 +0000

A recent survey shows police departments hired more new officers in 2023 than in the previous four years. This news is particularly encouraging for major cities suffering upheaval and increased crime. Americans are concerned about upholding law and order, an issue that will doubtlessly feature prominently in the 2024 elections. However, the ongoing decriminalization ideology embraced by many prosecutors may undermine these positive gains: Many crimes charged by the police simply aren’t being prosecuted.

The study by the Police Executive Research Forum reflected increased hiring for 2023, but also a drop in police officer retirements and resignations. This is encouraging news for law and order following an exodus of experienced officers following the controversial death of George Floyd in 2020 and the ensuing BLM fad. Bold attacks on police, initiatives to defund departments, and reduced personnel from resignations and lower applications created a vicious cycle of demoralization that has not fully abated – some inner-city departments still struggle with recruitment despite six-figure starting salaries.

Police Killings

It is understandable that police officers would resign or retire, and that new recruits may hesitate to serve on the streets. The hateful attacks against US police officers extend beyond mere shaming or political criticism – murders of police officers rose nearly 60% in 2021, a number that included numerous targeted assassinations. A total of 346 officers were shot in 271 separate incidents, according to the Fraternal Order of Police, and  103 of those shootings were “ambush-style attacks.” The number dipped slightly in 2022 to 331, but then rose again to 378 in 2023. Surely such statistics motivate police officers and their loved ones to consider alternative professions.

A recent poll by the Pew Research Center suggests the issue of law enforcement may feature highly in 2024 election races, as 58% of US adults say “reducing crime should be a top priority for the president and Congress to address this year,” up from 47% at the beginning of the Biden presidency in 2021. Overall crime rates are allegedly down for violent offenses but have increased substantially for property crimes. Additionally, high-profile disruptions in America’s largest cities have fueled public perceptions, including brazen assaults by illegal immigrants against both citizens and police, and controversial episodes of squatting, shoplifting, and carjacking.

Prosecutorial Support for Law Enforcement

Voter concerns may shift public sentiment toward police support – many cities that embraced Defund the Police policies are now scrambling to restore public safety. But supporting the police also means supporting prosecutions of those the police arrest and charge, a growing problem across the country as left-wing prosecutors who more resemble defense attorneys decline to press charges for drug dealing and many theft crimes, eliminate cash bond, decline to charge juveniles as adults, and advocate minimal or suspended sentences for many dangerous offenders.

Such lax support of America’s police does not bode well for future hires, public safety, or the political fortunes of liberal Democrats. Following the spike in murders of police in 2021, FBI Director Christopher Wray ominously hinted at this problem:

“We’re seeing more and more juveniles committing violent crime, and that’s certainly an issue. We’re seeing a certain amount of interstate gun trafficking. That’s part of it. And we’re seeing an alarming frequency of some of the worst of the worst getting back out on the streets.”

Prosecutors in many roiling inner cities refuse to pursue sentencing enhancements for repeat offenses, aggravated circumstances, or gang affiliation. This ensures more violent, mentally ill, or criminally organized defendants will “slip through the cracks” of lax prosecutorial worldviews and be released to commit more crimes, including targeted murders of on-duty police officers.

The Path to Law and Order

The rise in police hiring is a hopeful indication that Americans and their families will be better protected in the future. But lax prosecution will continue to put both police and the citizenry at greater risk of violent crime and diminish police morale and future hiring. Police officers working without prosecutorial backup are hog-tied from accomplishing the fundamental purpose of their profession, no matter how many new cops are hired.

Law and order is a high priority for many voters going into the 2024 elections. Their focus may turn to policies that hold prosecutors accountable for enforcing the laws, That outcome might – and perhaps should – be preferable to ignoring their commissions in favor of dangerous political ideologies that place law-abiding citizens and honest police at unnecessary risk.

Law Prohibiting Local School Mask Mandates Heads to NH Governor’s Desk (Again!)

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-22 20:00 +0000

The New Hampshire State Senate just passed (and I mean Just!) HB1093 AN ACT  prohibiting mandatory mask policies in schools. “This bill prohibits school boards and other public education agencies from adopting, enforcing, or implementing a policy that requires students or members of the public to wear a facial covering.”

189:75  Facial Covering Policy for Schools.  The school board of a school district or the chief executive officer of a chartered public school or public academy shall not adopt, enforce, or implement a policy that requires students or members of the public to wear a facial covering for any purpose while on the school’s property unless the facial covering is necessary for a specific extracurricular or instructional purpose, or is required by some other section of the law. In this section, “facial covering” means any item worn on the face which covers a student’s mouth, nose, or both.

It’s a short and sweet statement that you shall not mandate face coverings in schools—full stop. This means they are optional—there is no law preventing individuals from adopting them or anyone discussing any harm or benefit. It does, however—because you know how “They” get—include some clarifications.

This provision shall not prohibit any public school board or governing person or body of a school from requiring participating students to wear athletic gear intended to protect against concussive or similar sports-related physical damage, or to wear protective equipment while handling chemicals, fire, or other similar hazardous elements for scientific or similar educational purposes.  Further, this provision shall not prohibit policies that may require facial coverings as part of a student’s individualized education program pursuant to RSA 186-C or accommodation plan pursuant to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 701 et seq).  Effective Date.  This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.

No one is banning helmets in football, and so on. It is sad that you have to make that clarification, but that’s not the problem; Sununu is.

Governor Sununu has been known to ignore his Executive Order Spree on the subject of COVID-inspired statewide overreach and selectively play the local control card. (He vetoed HB1131 the 2022 bill preventing school mask mandates). You know, let the locals decide, except when he doesn’t think that’s a good idea. But both chambers, through investigation and debate, have again discovered that mask mandates are not what many claim and may indeed cause harm. Industrial hygienist Stephen Petty came back to New Hampshire again to try and help pass this bill (he was also here for round one in 2022).

He might need to visit the governor personally over a long lunch because this isn’t our first rodeo with protecting kids and education staff from these mandates.

Has Sununu seen more now that he feels comfortable saying yes this time? It’s his last term, and he doesn’t have to run on it, so it could go either way. He could also allow it to become law without his signature.

We’d be good with any of that but we’re not holding our breath.

Please politely encourage the governor to sign HB1093.

“Why Do You Do This Stuff?” – With Ken Eyring and Tom Murray Part 1/3

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-22 18:00 +0000

Ken and Tom founded the Government Integrity Project a number of years ago. Their mission, along with their supporters, is to find out where Government is not playing with a straight deck. We’ve all known about the “Good ole’ boys” networks that can run small towns, the larger cities with their Tammany Hall political machines, and individuals (often drawing government-signed paychecks) not always believing that they are merely public servants but become enamored with the Power that Government can wield.

A few weeks ago, I was asked by Tom and Ken if I’d participate in an interview with another person for a documentary on Government Corruption that will be coming out somewhere down the road. Hey, while Ken often sends in submissions as a Grokster, both read GraniteGrok as regular readers so they know about the goings on here in NH. So of COURSE, I said yes and spent a few hours with them and their crew.

And when we had run out of time (the Library wanted their room back but certainly we didn’t run out of things to talk about!), I turned the tables on them – I brought my camera out and had them sit together. I’ve split the 20 minute interview into 3 parts.

This is Part 1:

!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u359331"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");

Watch As Middle America Become The Middle East

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-22 14:00 +0000

Joe Biden and the Democrats have been re-engineering our country. I am probably giving Biden too much credit. He is not a designer of the plan but a hapless tool to carry out the plan. This plan started in 2008 when Obama was elected and openly proclaimed his purpose to transform America.

This plan has many fronts, from the accelerated indoctrination of our children from K-16 to the irrational DEIJ movement that rewards boxes checked versus competency and finally to the manipulation of the electoral map by the placement of illegal migrants.

One of Biden’s first acts upon his election was to open our southern border and allow over ten million unvetted migrants from over 150 countries to enter our country. If these individuals were brought to one location in the United States, these people would form the 10th most populated state in our country. The people crossing the Rio Grande by foot were step one, and step two was flying illegals directly to predetermined destinations. The goal is to change the demographics of the Red States. The faster the Democrats can get these migrants to the polls. The better for the Democrats.

In what may be the final stage is the Democrat plan to bring millions of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to the Middle American states. These states have some of the lowest population numbers and are typically Conservative and Red-leaning. By inserting millions of people the Democrats feel will vote for the Left, they can quickly transform these Red fly-over states into Blue-voting machines.

There are many aspects to consider when importing refugees from Gaza.
First, there will be no way of vetting these people, and we know that not all Palestinians are terrorists, but all Hamas terrorists are Palestinians. We will have no way of discerning how many of the people we bring into Middle America will be terrorists hell-bent on taking down America or in sleeper cells ready to be awakened and activated. Secondly, we just went through weeks of unrest on college campuses with radical activists funding and coaching impressionable college students to protest for Palestine and Hamas and against Israel. These refugees will add fuel to that movement.

This engineering of future elections is the transformation that Barack Obama envisioned. By manipulating the population in selective states, the Left can guarantee there will never be a Republican elected President. Ironically, the Democrats yell about election suppression or interference. Yet, they have spent decades manipulating the election process in their favor. One hundred years, they are indoctrinating our young students, turning them off on America and capitalism and convincing them that Socialism is a superior system to live in.

Joe Biden should not be impeached. Joe Biden should be charged and tried for Treason against the United States. He has stomped on the Constitution, insulted and ignored the Supreme Court, and has been complicit with the Senate stalling any bills passed out of the House. His efforts to transform America have damaged American lives, smashed the dreams of our future, and made states and cities less safe for Americans to live comfortably. Biden and this Democrat plan must be stopped, and making sure that Biden does not get four more years in the Oval Office.

Depopulationist Says ‘Quiet Part’ Outloud – Doesn’t Regret It

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-22 12:00 +0000

When a partisan faction committed to depopulation by other means openly admits that we’d be better off with fewer of us around, they mean it. Culling the wrong people out of the population has been a goal for over a century, and these social engineers openly support policies that prove it.

Abortion isn’t health care. It is a feature of a longstanding depopulation agenda. Progressives have long sought to reduce populations of people who are not like them.

Assisted suicide sounds like well-meaning empathy until you let them control it. It quickly becomes a subject of much debate as a means to relive the state of the homeless, mentally ill, and others whom they’ve long wanted to cull but lacked a way to do it without looking like who they really are.

The Climate movement has long been very clear on the need to reduce populations to save the planet but they never volunteer to go first. Who would make sure the right people remained if they lived by their own creed?

Professor Bill McGuire shared an observation the other day along these lines. A very casual, you know, if we’re serious about reducing emissions, people gonna have to die.

“If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic #climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate

To summarize.

  1. He’s convinced that a trace gas incapable of warming the planet as advertised will be the end of the world.
  2. We must reduce the emissions of that gas to prevent a global catastrophe.
  3. Culling (killing) human beings is the only honest way to prevent planetary doom.
  4. There is no other way to get there from here.

When called out on this, he did what you’d expect. He accused everyone of taking him out of context and twisting his words.

The only thing in this response that matters is that he doesn’t regret it, which I believe. I feel certain he thinks people need to die to satisfy his perception of the effect of emissions on climate. The rest is rubbish.

The only person who has taken his meaning the wrong way is Bill McGuire because this sort of thinking is part of his movement’s collective consciousness. It is no less a fact that 0.04% of the atmosphere has more influence on waring than the sun, solar mechanics, and water vapor.

It is also true that the political catalysts of the movement, the ones who keep the climate fear messaging funded, are ideologically descended from social engineers whose rhetoric has inspired past cullings of the human population. Leaders who share other commonalities like the need for a command and control economy managed by the Government and a police state to keep order when the humans they have not yet culled (but will be for dissenting) discover how badly they’ve been screwed.

Bill is a useful idiot.

Regardless of whether you agree with his science, he aids and abets despotism, whose logical conclusion is the systematic culling of the population when it does not fully align with the goals of the State or dares to challenge it.

Bill and his climate theory is a bigger threat to humanity (human rights, justice, liberty, and prosperity) than CO2.

Congrats to Comment of the Week Winner, Martina Vaslovik

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-22 11:00 +0000

I picked seven possible winners, and you voted. This week’s comment of the week goes to Martina Vaslovik.

Congratulations to Martina – please email steve@granitegrok.com.

Here’s the winning comment.

Post: Scientists” Testing One-Jab-To-Kill-Them-All ‘Vaccine’ to Fight Multiple “Coronaviruses”

Martina Vaslovik There has never been any efficacious vaccine for any form of coronavirus, ever. There has never been any cure for the common cold, which is caused by a coronavirus, specifically rhinovirus 39. What they are hawking is not even a vaccine, which is made from an attenuated virus, it’s gene therapy using mRNA, to do God knows what to us, and it’s killed millions so far. They cannot make a vaccine for the *alleged* covid virus because it does not exist. It has not been isolated by anyone anywhere in the world four years later and the CCP conveniently announced they had ordered the original specimens destroyed. It’s my belief that COVID19, or the idea of it, originated not in Wuhan, but in Davos with Klaus Schwab and his merry men, who when they came out with their Great Reset’s pie chart had COVID19 smack in the middle of it and lauded it as a narrow window of opportunity to change the world. Note also that Klaus Schwab’s buddy Yuval Noah Harari has put us all on notice telling us “Frankly we really don’t need the vast majority of you.” Should that not tell us something? Dr. Derek Knauss: “When my lab team and I subjected the 1500 supposedly positive Covid-19 samples to Koch’s postulates and put them under an SEM (electron microscope), we found NO Covid in all 1500 samples. We found that all 1500 samples were primarily Influenza A, and some Influenza B, but no cases of Covid. We did not use the bulls*** PCR test.’ At 7 universities not once COVID detected. ‘This virus is fictitious’ ‘I still need to find one viable sample with Covid-19 to work with. We who conducted the lab test with these 1500 samples at the 7 universities are now suing the CDC for Covid-19 fraud. The CDC still has not sent us a viable, isolated and purified sample of Covid-19. If they can’t or won’t, then I say there is no Covid-19. It’s fictional.’ ‘The four research papers describing the genome extracts of the Covid-19 virus never managed to isolate and purify the samples. All four papers describe only small pieces of RNA that are only 37 to 40 base pairs long. That is NOT a VIRUS. A viral genome normally has 30,000 to 40,000 base pairs.’ ‘Now that Covid-19 is supposedly so bad everywhere, how come not one lab in the world has completely isolated and purified this virus? That’s because they never really found the virus. All they ever discovered were small pieces of RNA that were not identified as the virus anyway. So what we’re dealing with is just another flu strain, just like every year. Covid-19 does not exist and is fictitious.’ Which brings us to this: Seasonal Flu Cases in the US 2012-2013 34,000,000 2013-2014 30,000,000 2014-2015 30,000,000 2015-2016 24,000,000 2016-2017 29,000,000 2017-2018 45,000,000 2018-2019 36,000,000 2019-2020 38,000,000 2020-2021 1,822 Draw your own conclusions…

For Democrats, Justice is a One-Way Street

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-22 10:00 +0000

Most people would agree that no free society can survive without a fair, unbiased justice system, one in which everyone is treated equally and no one is above the law. While so many governments around the world are rife with corruption and unequal justice, most Americans agree that, while imperfect, our judicial system has always been the best there is.

After all, we have all the safeguards in place to help ensure integrity in our government and fairness in our justice system. First, there’s our Constitution and our three co-equal branches of government. And we have a free press, intended to serve as the conscience of our government. Then there are the people, citizens who have always banded together to stand against government corruption.

Of course, all that came crashing down for several years while our nation was still young. Less than 100 years after its birth, America became a deeply divided nation, and those divisions erupted into a bloody war between the states.

After the Civil War, it took time for our country to get back on the right track, but Americans eventually did come together to create a world superpower, accomplishing some incredible things – militarily, socially, medically, and scientifically.

But it seems that the very same political party that fought so fiercely to preserve slavery is unhappy with America’s success. Democrats have vowed to fundamentally transform our country. Once again they’re on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of morality. They’re using any means at their disposal to transform our country, and it has again created deep divisions among us. Now, the Democrat Party has begun abusing its political power in a way that would make banana republics envious. It’s employing our justice system as a weapon against its political opponents.

Democrats have always had a tenuous relationship with the law enforcement community. They envision themselves as defenders of the oppressed, and they generally perceive police as oppressors. That was especially apparent during the widespread BLM riots in the summer of 2020. Nearly every Democrat supported the anarchy, calling the riots mostly peaceful protests. Our future vice president even helped bail out some of the protestors. At the same time, they were stereotyping all law enforcement officers as racist. So began their insane movement to defund the police.

But in 2021, that same party discovered how to make the justice system work for them.

On January 6th of that year, a group of protesters, enraged by several unresolved election irregularities, stormed the U.S. Capitol. Democrats saw an opportunity. They redefined the protest as an “insurrection” and brought the full weight of our justice system down on anyone who was there.

But they didn’t stop there. They wanted Donald Trump’s head.

Today we see profoundly biased Democrat prosecutors and judges pretending that they’re above political influence. And hateful, like-minded Democrats close their eyes to their abuses of power, telling themselves that everything is on the up-and-up and that the justice system is working exactly as it should.

But they know exactly what’s really going on. To paraphrase Joe Biden himself, they may be fanatical Democrats, but they’re not stupid.

They know that Democrat lawmakers were in such haste to impeach President Trump, not once, but an unprecedented two times, that they did it without any investigation. Both impeachments lacked merit and failed.

They know that the endless Democrat-controlled hearings on the January 6th incident served no purpose other than to hurt Trump.

They know that the four indictments and 91 individual charges filed against a former president are also unprecedented. They know that the Democrat prosecutors don’t even try to conceal their contempt for him.

They also know that those charges against Trump represent brazen examples of both selective prosecution and election interference.

For when Democrats sanctimoniously parrot the phrase, “No one is above the law,” they’re forgetting the bizarre explanations they invented to defend Democrat politicians who stepped outside the law.

First, there’s this gem: “No reasonable prosecutor would take this case.” Then there were these assurances about Biden’s theft of classified documents: “They were safely locked in his garage with his prized Corvette.” On the bribery allegations? “It’s not influence peddling if the bribes only go to his family members.” And there was the congressman who suggested that Biden, his wayward son and “business associate,” arranged a conference call to “talk about the weather.”  Sometimes outright lies worked best for them: “The border is secure.”

But Democrats, handicapped by blind hatred, see nothing out of the ordinary in those unrelenting attacks on President Trump. Objective, clear-thinking Americans see a different picture. They can only conclude that they’re witnessing a political feeding frenzy – not the even-handed administration of justice.

As Democrats continue tinkering with our justice system, they’re engaging in an incredibly dangerous gambit. When citizens start to question the fairness of their justice system, when they believe it’s been corrupted, they lose respect for it. That inevitably leads to social unrest, widespread anarchy, and the eventual disintegration of society. Many would say it’s already begun.

Introduction to Hydroluxx Facial

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-22 09:00 +0000

In the ever-evolving world of skincare, the Hydroluxx Facial has emerged as a revolutionary treatment. Combining advanced technology with the fundamentals of skin hydration and rejuvenation, this facial offers a comprehensive solution for those seeking radiant and healthy skin. Unlike traditional facials, the Hydroluxx Facial uses a unique blend of water, oxygen, and serums to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin deeply.

What is a Hydroluxx Facial?

A Hydroluxx Facial is a non-invasive skincare treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin. It utilizes a specialized device that delivers a combination of water and oxygen at high pressure, along with nutrient-rich serums. This process helps to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and infuse the skin with essential nutrients. The result is a refreshed, glowing complexion with improved texture and tone.

The Process of a Hydroluxx Facial
  1. Cleansing: The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing to remove any makeup, oil, and impurities from the skin’s surface. This step ensures that the skin is prepared for the subsequent stages of the facial.
  2. Exfoliation: Next, a gentle exfoliation is performed using the Hydroluxx device. This step helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, allowing for better absorption of the serums and nutrients that will be applied later.
  3. Extraction: The device then uses a combination of water and suction to extract blackheads, whiteheads, and other impurities from the pores. This step is crucial for achieving a clear and smooth complexion.
  4. Hydration: After the extraction, the skin is infused with a customized blend of serums and nutrients. These serums are tailored to the individual’s skin type and concerns, providing hydration, anti-aging benefits, and protection against environmental damage.
  5. Oxygenation: Finally, the skin is treated with a burst of oxygen, which helps to further enhance the absorption of the serums and stimulate collagen production. This step leaves the skin looking plump, radiant, and revitalized.
Benefits of a Hydroluxx Facial

The Hydroluxx Facial offers numerous benefits, making it a popular choice among skincare enthusiasts:

  • Deep Cleansing: The combination of water, oxygen, and suction helps to thoroughly cleanse the skin, removing impurities and unclogging pores.
  • Exfoliation: Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and revealing a brighter, more even complexion.
  • Hydration: The infusion of serums and nutrients provides deep hydration, which is essential for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.
  • Anti-Aging: The oxygenation step stimulates collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Customized Treatment: The serums used in the Hydroluxx Facial are tailored to the individual’s skin type and concerns, ensuring optimal results.
  • Non-Invasive: Unlike some other skincare treatments, the Hydroluxx Facial is non-invasive and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Who Can Benefit from a Hydroluxx Facial?

The Hydroluxx Facial is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with:

  • Acne-Prone Skin: The deep cleansing and extraction steps help to reduce breakouts and prevent future acne.
  • Dry or Dehydrated Skin: The infusion of hydrating serums provides much-needed moisture, leaving the skin soft and supple.
  • Aging Skin: The collagen-boosting effects of the oxygenation step help to minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Dull or Uneven Skin Tone: Exfoliation and hydration work together to improve skin texture and tone, resulting in a radiant complexion.
Conclusion

The Hydroluxx Facial represents a significant advancement in skincare technology, offering a comprehensive solution for achieving healthy, glowing skin. By combining deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and intense hydration, this treatment addresses a wide range of skin concerns and delivers noticeable results. Whether you are looking to combat acne, reduce signs of aging, or simply maintain a healthy complexion, the Hydroluxx Facial is a worthwhile addition to your skincare routine. Its non-invasive nature and customized approach make it suitable for individuals of all skin types, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the benefits of this innovative facial treatment.
