Manchester, N.H.
This is timely. Just days after a UK report on how 95% of those who died from COVID had the COVID vaccines and boosters, CDC Director Mandy Cohen and Senator Chuck (It’s not a) Schumer are asking you to get updated flu and Covid “vaccination.”
Why?
Who needs a reason? Seriously? The sun rises, you pay taxes, and you roll up your sleeves for America. Or not. We also reported that 98% of Americans have not lined up for the latest thing. The Power of the Pandemic has lost its allure. I won’t say that mass psychosis has, at least for the media and the elites. The world showed them their ass during COVID, especially Western Democracies, so they’ll want to keep spanking that.
I have my doubts about the Cohen-Schumer One-Two Beg getting job one done. Especially when Chuck says, “They will do you a lot of good…it will avoid a lot of pain later.” Weaponized flu may still have legs, and in blue cities, states, and counties, their desire to scratch the itch is like Stimpy wanting to hit the bright red button. Still, if you’ve got people inoculated against the idea that voting by mail is fraud by mail everywhere else in the world, there is no need to play dress up.
Credit where it’s due, however, Senator, as the UK COVID data suggests, you might be one booster away from helping COVID kill you and dead people feel no pain later.
Here it is if you’d like a good laugh. Beauty and the Beast? Herman Munster and Cousin Marilyn. Jaclyn and Hyde. One of your own, if you prefer.
CDC Director Mandy Cohen and Senator Chuck Schumer want you to the get jab.

The middle, compromising stance of those called “centrists” or “moderates” is very often mistaken for a balanced and reasonable position. Little else is worse than an entire world tricked into what rationally amounts to crime, thinking it is balanced, realistic, and optimal.
The centrist has become convinced that their middle position is the only fair and just stance and that anything else is imbalanced extremism. The opportunity to rationally examine these assertions has never been as important as it is now.
Let us start by realizing that most people do not actually call themselves centrists yet are convinced that their views are a proper mixture of ideas, a negotiation to meet somewhere in the middle, which is what centrism entails. Whether this is a mixture of safety and freedom, socialism and capitalism, or collectivism and individualism, few have admitted that their unique mixture ratio is behind their confidence in their own political views. Most are convinced that they have the right mixture, while they believe those with different views have their mixture somewhat off.
How many traditional conservatives are against socialism without realizing that many of their views are based on socialism? They do not put the label of “socialism” on their beloved military, police, and public schools, but these are textbook examples of socialism. How many progressives for wealth distribution via government will truly admit that they want the profit motive to remain as the deep well from which they can perpetually draw? Nearly everyone has a mix, if only so they can satisfy themselves that they are not radical extremists.
To further the confusion, there are parallels in our world that suggest to us that a mixture is best, like the alloys of metals being more useful than pure metals alone or the right temperature being a mixture of not too hot and not too cold. It is intuitive to infer a moderate compromise in social, economic, and political matters.
Now, let us see the mixture from a different perspective. Engineers do not strive for a healthy balance of both planes that continue to fly and planes that fall from the sky. They are very imbalanced in their view that all planes should continue flying without issue to every possible extent. We would find it unacceptable if the legal system outwardly promoted a healthy mix of bringing criminals to justice and letting them do whatever they want. The point to see here is that we must not mix poison into our food and call that a healthy balance.
No percentage of violent crimes have a fitting place in civilization, same with fraud, corruption, and a long list of wrongful acts. The practice of forceful plunder through the apparatus called “government” is the rational equivalent of criminality, asserting that the ability to do so equates to the right to do so, and dismissing other peaceful means for funding as if they are inferior. No degree of what is rationally criminal is somehow a quality ingredient to mix into one’s political stance, even if the current laws legitimize it. That it comes from the basis of “might makes right” and violates inalienable rights means that justifying any degree of it makes a person complicit with this criminality, which is objectively criminal and evil because objective reality is altered thereby, to the subtraction from objective and measurable well-being.
Well-intentioned people of all kinds mix in ideas that are objectively criminal, not seeing with rational eyes because they used the going laws as their only measure for what is just. Even those reaching for higher moral ideology believe in things like city-states and small or local governments as the solution, as if to not have fully admitted that nobody is fit or entitled to rule, whether they are a person or a group. It is the rational that gives us the tools to collaboratively orchestrate law and order, and the same that stands as the constant standard for what is good and evil, what preserves rational rights, and what depletes them. If rationalism can reveal what toxic and evil justifications we might have mixed into our views, it can be the tool for helping us clean up our views, even if someone thinks that doing so will amount to extremism.

Mr. Biden speaking from the Oval Office, addressed the nation about the Wars in Israel and Ukraine. He spoke in lofty terms about America’s role in the world, saying in part, “… We’re facing an inflection point in history…” and told us he will spend our money taking on Hamas and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr. Biden plans on asking Congress for another $60B in Ukraine and $10B for Israel, with smaller sums for Taiwan and the US border. Those are political sweeteners. Ya gotta spread it around to get it done in DC.
But are these the priorities of the American people?
A recent poll from Reuters News Service says 19% of Americans rate the economy as their greatest concern. Second was illegal immigration, and third was crime. That sentiment of priorities is echoed in polling from outlets like Statista and Pew Research Center.
We want to thank Marc Abear for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.
An AP poll released this week says nearly 70% of Americans think Mr. Biden has engaged in criminality or unethical behavior connected to his family’s foreign business deals.
A CBS poll shows 57% of Americans think Mr. Biden is going too easy on China. China is one of the countries where he and his family maintained relations, resulting in lucrative contracts. 50% think Mr. Biden is making the US weaker in the world. And 31% approve of his foreign policy agenda.
My nickel’s worth says we have to lockdown the southern border. Our open border is having a cascading effects throughout the country, from crushing our communities with drugs and fentanyl deaths, saddling our cities with profound economic burdens to take care of illegals, and giving an open door to untold numbers of unvetted, uninvited foreigners, with record numbers on our terror watch list.
We need to focus on re-establishing law and order in America. The goal is to allow families and kids to flourish in a safe environment. We must create that same safe environment for private industry and manufacturers to both flourish and rebuild business operations previously shipped offshore.
China is America’s gravest threat, hands down. Nothing and no one else comes close. Not climate, not Russia and Putin, not Hamas; China is our greatest threat. The US military, law enforcement, and intelligence communities have confirmed this… repeatedly. The economy has been screaming about it. The vast majority of available American resources should be used to counter China.
That’s because the good news is there are some smart solutions to the China problem, though they are not easy. But the two that are in our most immediate control that would solve most of our problem would include revoking all US visas held by Chinese citizens and sending them all back home. And forcing Chinese investors to divest their holdings, most especially those land purchases in this country.
There will be times when it’s important to give foreign aid or to refocus our military spending. When we do, the guiding principle should be to support the people and countries that will prevent a global fight with the Communist Party of China or shore up our defenses.
There might be smart exceptions to that. Israel is an example. That’s where Presidential discernment comes into play. But those are my suggestions to you. Lockdown the southern border, re-establish law and order, and take on the Chinese.
What’s clear is that poll after poll shows Mr. Biden’s message fell on deaf ears. We have different priorities than he does. We’re not interested in his message, nor are we listening to the messenger. It’s time for change… because he’s killing our security, our prosperity, and our hope.

I have not yet picked a candidate for President. For me, I am really late in doing so but I just haven’t had the bandwidth to “go after them”, to meet them, to interrogate them, and make them prove their case to me that they best represent what I believe in and are demanding of them. You all know why so I’m not going to rehash them.
That said, other than “Asa Hutchinson – WHY?” again, I just ran across this from the Conservative Treehouse in which Tucker is talking about The Donald in terms that the Left AND the Establishment Right just doesn’t get:
Will I vote for him in the Primary? Dunno. Will I if he becomes the nominee?
Yes.

At least two Vermont college students have helped to start the Student Declaration 2023, which is to ensure that overzealous COVID-19-related mandates are never repeated again on their school campuses.
“We were told that mask, vaccine, and lockdown mandates would be justified by their benefits, yet, in light of the incredible harms these mandates caused, such mandates cannot be justified today,” the Declaration states.
It continues that students have been under a lot of peer pressure to fall into line.
“An undeniable psychological toll fell on every student facing pressure from peers, professors, and university administration to comply with mandates, and many, denied face-to-face contact with others for over a year, found themselves forced to accept medical coercion under duress,” it states.
Two of the Declaration’s three originators are UVM students, Lauren Palmer and Isla Stover. Palmer, according to her Linkedin profile, has studied performance arts and offered homeschool courses. Stover is an avid cyclist. The third person is Nadia Ghazal, a graduate law student.
The petition currently has 94 signatures including nine students, 10 faculty/staff and 75 citizens.
The Declaration further suggests that students who refused COVID vaccines were punished for doing so.
“Those who chose not to vaccinate (a choice owed to all people under a truly democratic society), whether for medical or personal motivations, were made outcasts; they were socially ridiculed, segregated, and blamed, losing scholarships, academic and social opportunities, jobs and internships, medical autonomy and privacy, their ability to see friends and family, all campus platforms for free and uncensored speech, and the most basic human rights of Compassion, Dignity, and Empathy,” it states.
It also accuses academic leaders of abandoning the principles of free speech and public debate.
“It is clear that modern academia and academic leaders have betrayed their commitment to the free and open exchange of ideas, allowing fear, and not reason or common sense, to triumph. The freedom of rational thought must be recovered, and, in order to do this, we must first restore the principles of the university: the quintessential fountain of ideas. Dialogue must again be the foundation of all institutions.”
On the UVM student’s petition webpage it talks about empowering students. It states “Students were once the vehicles of change. We hope our movement on October 23rd empowers students, as well as professors, staff, and inspired community members, to be that vehicle of change once again.”
Similar to the Great Barrington Declaration
The statement is not unlike 2020’s Great Barrington Declaration, which has more than 938,000 signatures including at least 43 medical professionals.
It stated in 2020, “Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.”
COVID mandates still in national news
In related news, Children’s Health Defense announced last week that a ruling by the New York State Supreme Court in January to strike down the state’s vaccine mandate for healthcare workers will remain after the state’s appeal was dismissed earlier this month. It’s not yet clear what the implications might be in Vermont.
Also, the former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson was in the news recently, warning Americans to reject any return of COVID-related mandates.
“Look at how much control they were able to exercise over the people: shutting down the schools, keeping our children from learning, putting them so far behind. It’s going to take years, maybe decades, for them to catch up again,” he said on Newsmax’s “American Agenda.”

If you want school systems that work, start by getting rid of teachers’ unions. They are a Special Interest racket to enrich adults and do not better the educational system for the benefit of kids. Doubt me?
Pull the public contract for your town’s unions and then demand to know from your school board how many children score PROFICIENT in the NAEP standardized tests. Prepare to be unhappy with the results.
Or, you could ask current Manchester City Mayor and candidate for NH Governor Joyce Craig. She is a BIG supporter of the teacher’s unions. HOW is that union helping educate those children? It’s not pretty.
There is a solution – after NOT voting for Craig for Governor.
If you think I’m blowing one bad report out of proportions, the National Assessment of Educational Progress [NAEP] report that came out earlier this year found similarly dismal student performance in the public schools. Reading and math proficiency collapsed over the past four years in part because of the teachers unions’ insistence that public school stay closed during COVID — a national act of child abuse.
The Left obsesses about income inequality and the gap between rich and poor. Yet, they are so captive to the teachers unions that they do nothing about what is arguably the most regressive policy in America: our failing public school system. The decline in test scores is only half the story. The other part of the story is that the biggest declines in learning and achievement are among the poorer families.
I’m the furthest thing from an education expert, but I have had five kids. It’s pretty clear that three essential components to an enriching education are discipline in the classroom, high expectations and a classical curriculum. This isn’t that complicated. It’s not like solving a Rubik’s Cube.
Nor is it rocket science. Our education system, before the 70s, was the envy of the world. Then the Left took control – so here we are.
Let me add to those three:

We all agree that a calm world results from a strong America. Donald Trump is the first President since Jimmy Carter not to enter U.S. Troops into a new conflict. Part of the reason for that period of peace is Trump rebuilt our military to a point where nobody dared threaten the United States or its allies.
It was Ronald Reagan who coined the term “Peace through strength.” President Reagan hoped that his new military initiatives would not only contain communism but defeat it. Reagan broke the Soviet Union and witnessed the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Joe Biden is the antithesis of Ronald Reagan. Biden has weakened our military by introducing Woke thinking and bad decisions by Biden. Biden opened the door for Russia to invade Ukraine. He has ignored many of the offensive activities of China, and he has allowed Iran to rebound their financial status and accelerate their nuclear program. Tie those situations with the botched Afghanistan debacle, and you have a disastrous foreign policy package.
If not so serious, it would be comical. Biden and his team like to take credit for the way Biden has handled each of these global hotspots, but the truth is these conflicts exist because of him. What he has done is tantamount to saving an elderly person from drowning when you tossed the person overboard in the first place. His reckless policies have turned the world into a powder keg ready to explode.
Joe Biden went to the Resolute Desk and the Oval Office for a prime-time address to the nation. In that setting, there was speculation all day that this was a seminal moment for the President and an opportunity for him to unite the country in a unified effort to save Israel from the latest attempt to obliterate Israel and all Jews. He failed miserably. Instead of coming across as Reaganlike, and finally the leader of the nation and the free world, he came across as the prototypical Liberal and went for our wallets. In what he termed a “small investment,” he detailed his request for $100 Billion that he would present to Congress for speedy consideration.
Now, that kind of money may seem small for someone who has been extorting millions from our foes for decades, but for us in the middle class, that is as painful as trying to balance our budgets with Bidenomics. The significant problems with his request are combining his plea for our money to aid Israel with more funds for Ukraine and asking for $100 Million for Gaza and the Palestinian people. We know he is getting kickbacks from every dollar he sends to Ukraine, and Hamas will scoop up that $100 Million before a single dollar gets to the people for humanitarian aid. He also disappointed many people by continuing to refuse to place the blame on the Hamas and Hezbollah attacks on Israel on Iran, which is obviously holding the strings.
He tried to connect the two struggles as threats to our future freedom, but he failed. Had he focused on Israel, he would have garnered support across the aisles in both chambers. With his approach, he will have a battle in both. I am a realist and did not expect much from Biden on Thursday night. You can put him behind the big desk, but that does not make him a big man. Biden is a weak leader; every time he is behind a microphone and in front of a camera, he looks worse. The only good thing about him sitting for the address is it keeps him off the floor. That small win is insufficient for America, Israel, or the Free World.

Twenty-five years ago, French Model Laetitia Casta became a household name. Pretty thing, modeled women’s clothes and underwear. She could look sophisticated in a sweater or sexy in a teddy. And she helped start a dynasty that took women’s lingerie from the back of the store to the storefront.
She had a lot of famous help over the years, either famous going in as a model or famous after being one. They later added wings and called them angels—advertising brilliance. But once you’ve advertised sexy women in lingerie with wings (to sell undies, clothes, perfume, and accessories), what’s next? The not-so-obvious choice is transwomen and plus-size models, but they are your ad dollars; throw it at the wall, and maybe it sticks.
There is, of course, the pesky problem of human nature.
Unattractive people do not buy magazines to look at unattractive people; no one does. Nor do the obese. Just ask non-woke Madison Avenue for all its history until the rise of social justice scores and woke stupidity.
Don’t get me wrong (or do; I’m okay with that, too) – body positivity is an essential mental exercise, but it shouldn’t be monopolized as a euphemism for fat women. If the goal is to get you comfortable with a circumstance you can’t change today (or perhaps ever), be it weight, wardrobe, looks, your current work or relationships, or some physical handicap, body positivity as a concept might be what gets you to tomorrow. You need to feel good in your skin to focus on the rest of life because most of us live in that world. The one where what you do matters. Where being productive and valuable matters.
It’s not an easy thing, life, nor is it anyone else’s responsibility to make you feel good about being you (if they told you that they lied), but people will sell you things to get there from here, and there are rules of nature that apply.
A paraplegic competing in a marathon on high-tech “legs” is inspirational. A huge woman in a bustier – who may be the sexiest thing on God’s green earth to her lover, Rubens – will not sell as many bras and panties to everyone else. That doesn’t mean she’s not beautiful (inside or out). She might be a math genius, a soulful singer, a top-shelf software designer, or great with children. All things that should add to the sense of self, value, and inner beauty.
While the world owes you nothing, it cannot define your inner beauty (your job) or how that motivates you. The world will get in your way, but that doesn’t mean your vision is for anyone else because nature has a vision, at least for observable perfection, and we’re all wired into it. The Ad men and women know this, too.
People of all sizes, shapes, ages, and appearances are drawn to many things, but they are almost all drawn to The Golden Ratio. 1:1.618. The entire universe works like magic around it. And while beauty is in the eye of the beholder, universal beauty, regardless of race, culture, time, or space, always comes down to 1 to 1.618. Sticking ‘pretty’ men and large women in panties is not likely to inspire people who don’t typically pay attention to fashion shows or understand the math behind beauty to tune in to yours. They know what looks appealing, and so, once again, do the folks at Victoria’s Secret.
Going woke with oversized and transgender “angels” cost them 1.3 Billion in sales last year, so they’ve re-discovered a secret. It might be Victoria’s, or maybe not. Gillette learned the secret at a much higher price. If you accuse men of being bullies and bigots, they might stop buying your razors and other man-maintenance goodies. Their dance with the woke devil cost P&G about 8 billion.
Budweiser made Bud Light’s sales much lighter, singing to a similar tune. It won’t end them, but they lost millions of customers who’ve found other beers to drink and will never return.
So, what about Victoria’s Secret?
You don’t have to sell all the sizes on the runway to sell all the sizes you sell for every customer who might buy. And it pays to know your customer base. Don’t piss them off to pander to the latest round chambered in the progressive cultural revolver.
Take their advice. Be You! And Victoria’s Secret has decided to do that.

Human ingenuity is a funny thing. Of course, it has brought us such technological delights as the iPhone and the Thigh-master, however, there is a downside to our eternal optimism in our ability to achieve God-like creativity.
In our quest to solve the world’s many problems, as well as trying to solve problems that aren’t there (looking at you, climate change), our finest minds have sallied forth in hopes of making life easier while trying to save the world, which is a deadly combination.
Elon Musk is one of those Uber geniuses who has honed his talent to achieve what many might have only dreamt of. Thanks to his uncanny ability to make his dreams a reality we have entered into an age where his products alone might cure our terminal cancer on our way to outer space while sipping a latte and listening to our favorite podcast on yet another use for shiplap. What’s not to be excited about?
I may not have the pedigree of an Elon Musk, however, I am the World’s First Truly Fake News Reporter, which means I possess a very rare and valuable brain trust, to me at least. This is why when I was asked by my friend what I thought about self-driving vehicles, I took the stance any reasonable human being should take, which is – that’s a ridiculously bad idea. Of course, my friend had sixty-thousand rea$on$ to disagree with me, and I was the one asking for a ride, so I was forced to reconsider.
After several minutes of listening to him promote this horrible idea of letting the car drive us I realized I was in for the ride of my likely-to-be-shortened life. After reluctantly easing into my white vegan leather passenger seat the silent death trap let out a demonic howl that sounded more like a Banshee getting sucked into a black hole than the thunder of horses tearing down the road. This is the sound of progress, sure.
As we attempted to leave my driveway, the supposedly sentient beast seemed confused about what to do next. Its owner excused the machine’s hesitance because “it doesn’t recognize your driveway since it’s not on the map.” We’re not five seconds into the trip, and already, it’s clear there are more bugs than the ones splattered on the windshield.
After “assisting” the rolling robot into position, it takes off down the winding road and comes to a stop at the appropriate time but with the braking sensitivity of a meat cleaver before turning onto the next road. The next thing I know, we are being driven up the exact middle of the freshly paved road because “it doesn’t have any lines painted on it, so it doesn’t know where the lane is.” Which I’m sure makes perfect sense to the oncoming motorists who don’t have the same problem until they see us coming.
I try to distract myself by admiring the over-sized R-2 unit’s many bells and whistles, among which is a small flat-screen TV where the stereo controls should be. On it appears a rudimentary 2-D/3-D map of the neighborhood as “we” drive through it. To my friend, this obviously feels like Star Trek has come to life in his driveway, fair enough. Star Trek was clearly ahead of its time. Yet, it required us to suspend our reality. Evidence Spock was an alien were his pointy ears – really? The Enterprise’s diversity and inclusion policies were cutting edge, but have another look at those control panels – they were barely ahead of the Commodore 64. As for that patri archical playboy Captain Kirk, I have a La-z-boy in my living room that rivals his command chair.
Not to mention, they were only to flip phones at that point in space travel. Highly suspect.
I feel like I am having to similarly suspend my reality as I consider this piece of Space-X technology that has yet to make it down a stretch of road without my friend attempting to explain why it did the next dangerous thing. As we get into Hanover, he’s made more excuses for it than a battered housewife for her abusive husband.
Enter the construction along the Ledyard bridge, and the steely beast starts to convulse like it’s having a seizure, trying to figure out what comes next. “It doesn’t recognize all these cones,” my friend explains matter-of-factly. No, it does not.
It also doesn’t recognize the Ivy League privilege enjoyed by the Dartmouth student who just walks right out into traffic and nearly gets hit by Elon’s creation, which was about the only thing it almost got right that day. I can’t think of a driver who hasn’t secretly wanted to teach the student body about applied physics a time or two while they clog up the campus arteries like high-end extra virgin olive oil.
As we near our destination, we have one more intersection to make it through, and the green goblin does not disappoint. “I don’t know why it won’t go,” he wonders aloud, finally sounding annoyed. I know why it won’t go – it’s a machine, not a person. The only thing it has in common is the ability to mess things up spectacularly and look good doing it. It’s not made to rationalize or make judgment decisions. It lacks nuance and a nervous system. It doesn’t know how to genuinely solve the problems of human traffic, nor does it keep a record of all the times some idiot violated the rules of the road and nearly ruined your day.
“One day, the road is going to be full of these, and they’ll all be talking to each other, and it will revolutionize the way we travel,” my friend beams, believing this to be a good thing.
Millions of these, talking to each other in Tesla-ese, Toyota-ese, and Ford-ese?
That’s exactly what I’m worried about.

The jury in the double murder case of Stephen & Djeswende Reid has left for the weekend without a verdict as to Logan Clegg’s guilt or innocence. While the jury deliberates, there’s a very glaring hole in the prosecutors’ arguments.
Compare this statement from In-Depth New Hampshire’s article on the trial from October 19, 2023.
“There is no mention of a robbery involved in the murder, but Stephen Reid’s cell phone from that day is still missing. Police were able to use the phone’s Google location data from the phone to find the bodies. However, FBI agent Kevin Hoyland testified Stephen Reid’s phone was downloading and uploading a large amount of data about an hour after the murders, indicating it was being used.”
To this statement from an NHPR report on April 25th, 2022, following the discovery of the murders.
“The bed was neatly made and a window was open. Both their phones are still in the apartment. My Dad’s wallet is also still in the apartment, and both their cars are here,” Brian wrote.
According to prosecutors, Concord police were able to locate the bodies with the help of “the phone.” But if both phones were present in the apartment when the Reids went for the walk, and the FBI agent testified that Stephen Reid’s phone was downloading and uploading a large amount of data about an hour after the murders, then something doesn’t add up in the prosecutor’s statements.

Stephen Reid worked for The Peace Corps and was involved in US Aid. It makes you wonder if there was something on his phone that had to do with human or organ trafficking (did he know about it? Did someone not want him to know about it?)…or?
International Rescue Committee (related to the work of The Peace Corps, I believe) is located at 10 Ferry Street, Concord. International Rescue Committee is tied to the UN and Jeffrey Epstein, while 10 Ferry Street has also been reported to the FBI for suspected child trafficking. The address also houses Quest Diagnostics, Dataminr, Children’s Trust Fund, Boston Scientific, Maximus Inc…
Former AG Geoffrey Ward deleted the files of police officers on the Laurie List, and he magically found bullet casings a month after the murders. Concord PD DNA lab is completely unreliable. Katie Swango, State Lab DNA Tech, is reliable and testifies to discrepancies she finds, but Merrimack County Prosecutors have ignored her testimony in the past when it doesn’t suit the narrative they are looking for. Was Katie Swango’s lab test entered into the exhibits for the jury? Or did prosecutors convince the judge that only the police lab report should be entered?
When prosecutors just claim that someone is guilty with so many inconsistencies from state witnesses, it makes one question what the prosecutors are hiding and what they really know.
