A Look at Afghanistan Two Years After Biden Ran Away …

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-04-29 01:30 +0000

About two years ago, this administration used their best judgment.  America withdrew from Afghanistan.  The withdrawal left behind material, money, and personnel.  However you view the decision, this administration is responsible for the results.  What are those results?

We want to thank Marc Abear for this Op-Ed. Please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

Today Afghanistan has again become a center for planning acts of terror.  That is the Pentagon’s assessment.  The information comes from recently leaked intel documents in the news.  They are corroboration of the criticisms of security officials made at the time.

The Washington Post says the Islamic State in Afghanistan has at least 15 terror plots in the works mostly focused in Europe and Asia.  They include churches, businesses, embassies, and sporting events.

The Biden administration says the U.S. retains the ability to remove terrorists from the battlefield even without a permanent troop presence on the ground in Afghanistan.  There’s nothing here for us to worry about.  Do you believe that?

The recently leaked intel documents say: ISIS is developing a cost-effective network for carrying out terror operations around the world relying on resources outside Afghanistan.  The model allows ISIS to overcome obstacles, shorten the timeline on terror plots, reducing the likelihood of detection and efforts to thwart their plans.

From prior Congressional testimony, we know ISIS is expected to be back in the terror business by this August.  So the administration has traded Afghanistan which we had a lid on… but now we don’t; for Ukraine.  Our national interest in Ukraine was …?  Burisma? Money laundering? Anti-Semitism? Anti-Christian activity?

When we retreated from Afghanistan we left our information networks in tatters.  The result is we don’t have the full picture.  We do get some information from ISIS’s use of email and phones.  The problem wasn’t that we left but how we did it.  We have allowed ISIS to re-grow.

Follow The Money: Advice for the Falsely Accused

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-04-29 00:00 +0000

Being accused of a crime, you did not commit is terrifying. Very often, the person being accused has to suffer in silence because speaking before a trial or a determination could jeopardize the outcome. Yet not speaking could jeopardize the outcome too.

We want to thank Claire Best for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

At Stanford University, female soccer star Katie Meyer took her own life after she was accused of spilling coffee on a male athlete. She was found dead in her room with a letter from the Dean of Students open on her laptop. She was given an impossible choice: to speak to the disciplinary committee and potentially jeopardize her assumption of innocence or not speak and thus be presumed guilty for not speaking.

Katie’s parents have sued Stanford University, but to all intents and purposes, they should be suing the US Department of Education and the Department of Justice since these departments effectively endorsed the disciplinary process that led to Katie’s death on April 4, 2011, when the unregulated “Dear Colleague” Title IX letter was introduced at the University of New Hampshire by Vice President Joe Biden.

Representatives from both departments flanked him. The non-partisan FIRE issued a statement declaring the dangers of such a letter. Senators Lamar Alexander and James Lankford criticized the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights for its overreach. Not enough people listened, and as a result, those falsely accused of sexual assault could now face the death penalty in Florida.

What started in America has spread to other countries. The United Kingdom has adopted “Operation Soteria” with American Betsy Stanko behind it. What real qualifications does Betsy Stanko have? She’s a feminist activist who has mustered her way into being an expert and advisor on sexual assault allegations. PR goes a long way for those out to make a career out of selling snake oil to snake charmers.

So here are some things that I believe may be helpful if you find yourself or a loved one being accused of a crime they did not commit:

1) As a rule, I would say that you should stay off social media. I would screen capture but delete all social media accounts. However, you may wish to seek legal advice on this as you don’t want to be accused of deleting evidence either.

2) Do not talk to police, investigators, friends, or anyone who may be used against you. You would be surprised how many people will yield to money offers to follow a narrative to get someone convicted.

3) If police, investigators, or administrators ask you about an incident, do not speak to them without seeking legal advice.

4) Investigate the people offering legal advice. Investigate the investigators, administrators, and police – search back through several pages on the internet for “vs. X name” “vs. X school/business,” etc. Find professional relationship maps. Look on Linked In. Research the hell out of them so you are fully aware of conflicts of interest, undue influence, etc. Find out relationships between them and charities or non-profits, and previous cases they have been involved in that might be similar to yours. Are you the victim of copycat claims?

5) Investigate the person or people making the false allegation. Were they encouraged to do so? Who are their friends, associates, and colleagues? Are they likely to be drawn to money offers?

6) If there is news media or social media, keep copies of all of it. Investigate the journalists. Find out what other articles they have done. You can often find links between journalists and certain attorneys or non-profits or causes. Start to decipher lobby speak in articles and see if you are targeted as part of a lobbying effort to push through certain bills or acts. For example, Evan Rachel Wood accused Marilyn Manson of sexual assault, but she decided to become an activist after Donald Trump won the election in 2016. She had a non-profit that is tied to the HBO documentary “Phoenix Rising” and the “Phoenix Act” advocating for the removal of a statute of limitations for bringing claims of sexual assault.

7) Research the tax reports (IRS Form 990 in the US) for any non-profit involved. Research statements by these non-profits. Find out their relationship with police, prosecutors, and lawmakers.

8) FOLLOW THE MONEY.

9) Write out – or have an advocate who is not emotionally traumatized by the event – write down the sequence of events. Fill it in with documentation (texts, emails, phone calls, or whatever) from the very beginning. Every detail is important. Research the social media accounts of the complainant and their associates. Find out who follows them, who they follow, and who is behind them.

10) Don’t rely on your attorney to be the savior. Good attorneys are excellent, but some attorneys are deal-makers who have a pattern of dealing with wrongful convictions, agreeing to compromises so that they and their counterparts keep in business with each other. But that might result in selling you out, compromising your position. Lawyers’ bread is buttered only partly with clients. The rest of it is buttered with other attorneys, judges, prosecutors, and police. Find out whether your interests come second to their interests in their professional club and find out if there is a conflict of interests in representing you versus their acceptance in that club.

11) Inspect, in detail, again and again, and again, statements, articles, documents, and charges that are made against you. Look up the rules for these charges. Look up the rules for the people bringing them, the institutions, and their standards of conduct. If you can’t get hold of them, ask for them. Ask for everything. You are defending your reputation, your career, your life.

12) Knowledge is Power. I’ve read many accounts of people feeling helpless when they or a loved one faces charges for something they haven’t done. You don’t have to be helpless. You can take control of the situation by researching everything and being prepared.

It looks overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Police, investigators, and administrators are beholden to their employers. They follow the instructions of their employers, who very often adopt those from third parties who may be contractually benefiting from flawed investigations.

Once you are aware of all of this, I believe you will be in a stronger position to fight it. Police don’t like to be answerable to the public, nor do prosecutors or judges. But they are all hired and paid for by the public and thus accountable to the public. School and University investigators are hired by the institution who receive money from the government or donors and are therefore answerable to boards of trustees. There are insurance companies as well as underwriters. It’s not good for these to be paying out for false allegations.

The #MeToo movement and Title IX Campus Sexual Assault Narrative have thrived on propaganda with Government operatives from the Department of Justice Office of Violence Against Women and the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights behind them. They are largely political. Sexual assault and domestic violence are not political nor tied to any particular gender, contrary to popular narratives.

I will close with the following disclaimer: I am a layperson who did a lot of research. I am not an expert beyond the research I have done, and I’m not a professional, but I put this out there because I think it may be useful.

MUST WATCH Documentary:  Adult Human Female

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-04-28 22:30 +0000

A documentary has been produced in the U.K. entitled ‘Adult Human Female.’ The documentary discusses gender identity ideology, women’s rights, and the absolutely abhorrent way women are being treated in the U.K.

The left is so horrified that women are actually speaking up about their rights as women that Trans Fascists even blocked a viewing of the movie so no one could see it (for a second time).

 

Trans Fascists stop women from watching a movie about women.

In the movie, they speak about how this ideology was born in North America. It doesn’t surprise me at all that some lunatic in a university would think up something like this and then gets the backing of billionaires to push it. This is already happening in the United States. In fact, it’s already here in many places and in many different ways, including New Hampshire.

In 2018, the governor signed House Bill 1319 into law with the help of some Republicans. This bill was also known as the ‘trans bill’ because it allows men who ‘believe’ they are women to be actually considered women in public policy. I fought against this legislation back then and said many of the same things the women in the documentary are saying.

We’re now seeing what this type of legislation has done to women around the country in sports, in prisons, in women’s private spaces. Those who pushed this legislation were warned but didn’t care. They caved to out-of-state activists funded by leftist billionaires to erase women and girls.

In the U.S., it is white left-wing middle-class women who push for men to be considered the same as women. There are various groups of people who disagree on most everything politically, except for gender identity ideology. Radical left-wing feminists, Christian organizations, Conservatives, Libertarians, and many in between, all fight together for this one cause – to stop the erasure of women and girls. This documentary barely scratches the surface of what this gender identity ideology has done to an entire generation of children.

The women in this video come from various occupations and walks of life. A couple even identify as Socialists and Marxists, but on this critical topic to society as a whole, we come together and agree. The leftists (aka Democrats and their allies like Governor Sununu) who push laws regarding this ideology, are the new faces of Authoritarianism.

 

If you’re a woman, watch this movie. If you’re a man who supports women and girls, watch this movie. This is a fight that humanity cannot afford to lose.

Trump Visits New Hampshire And … Humiliates Sun-King Sununu

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-04-28 21:00 +0000

Even that Establishment-mouthpiece Michael Graham has been forced to admit what I have been saying for a long, long time. Sun-King Chris Sununu is running a make-believe, look-at-me, look-at-me, everybody-look-at-me “Presidential campaign” … a dishonest, shallow exercise in narcissism. From “journalist” Mikey Graham:

“Being anti-Trump isn’t necessarily a problem, if you’re out backing that up by campaigning,” one longtime New Hampshire Republican told NHJournal. “But he’s not. He’s not going to Iowa. He’s not building an organization. So it raises questions.”

Trump talked more Sununu on WMUR after his speech. “He made a big mistake by running for president, if he’s even running,” Trump said. “Guys like Sununu, they’ve got to come up with something.”

“He’s just a little bit cuckoo,” Trump added.

And both Trump and Mikey Graham left out the worst part … Sun-King Sununu has TOTALLY screwed New Hampshire: the 2022 midterm results prove that Sun-King’s COVID-tyranny, his embrace of all things woke, his crony-capitalism passed off as “small government” and “local control” has turned the State DEEP BLUE. There is NO succession plan for when Sun-King rides off to his contributor’s gig on MSNBC … there is ONLY Governor Chris Pappas. Sun-King has screwed … TOTALLY SCREWED … New Hampshire.

Joe, You Have A Different View Of Democracy Than We Do

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-04-28 19:30 +0000

In Joe Biden’s early morning announcement video on Tuesday, he made numerous references to restoring Democracy and the Soul of the Country. We have a serious problem here as the actions of Joe Biden and the Democrat party show a lack of understanding or disrespect for Democracy.

He also mentioned restoring our Freedoms, and we see a disconnect between his video and reality.

On the day Biden formally announced his candidacy for re-election, the DNC released a statement that no debates would be held during the primary season. This unprecedented move is obviously made to protect Joe Biden, but what about the right of Robert F. Kennedy Jr and Marianne Williamson, the two declared candidates today, to question Biden on his record and to let America know their positions on significant issues? This DNC decision disrespects the other candidates and the American voters, but that is how Biden and the Democrats see Democracy. These two people, and anyone else who announces their candidacy, deserve a chance to be heard, and it is not consistent with a Democracy to deny them their opportunity.

Karine Jean-Pierre prefaced her briefing yesterday to clarify that she would not discuss any campaign issues or questions from the podium. She had no problem interjecting into her comments and responses negative comments about MAGA Republicans. KJP knows that any reference to MAGA attack Donald Trump and his supporters. She skirts the Hatch Act by not mentioning Trump by name, but the intent is obvious, and she should be called out for it.

So let us talk about the freedoms and direction of the country that Joe Biden claims he is so concerned about and responsible for. Our incomes are no longer able to sustain our lifestyles. The inflation we experience is a direct result of Biden’s policies. He claims he inherited an economy in free fall, but inflation was at 1.2%, and we were in positive growth coming out of the Pandemic. The 12 million jobs Biden claims to have created are the 12 million lost at the start of COVID. Biden has created nothing. It costs 20-30% more to heat our homes which have lost significant value as interest rates have slowed the real estate market. The rising interest rates are supposed to slow the Biden Inflation and hold off a recession.

We no longer feel safe in our communities as the Left has decimated our police forces, and Fentanyl coming from China through Mexico is killing 100,000 young people yearly. Parents are no longer part of their children’s educational process as teachers help our children decide on their future gender. You expect us to supply benefits and free education for the illegal immigrants you welcome into our country and pay for our neighbor’s children’s student loans. These financial burdens you have created for Americans have more of us living paycheck to paycheck. Our 401Ks have lost so much value our retirement years look far less inviting than planned. Sorry, Joe, we are not enjoying your plan for America.

This vision is the America you have given us, Joe. And you tell us you are not finished yet. How much more damage do you have planned? You may not be finished, but we are finished with you.

Look at me! Look at me! Everybody look at me! Poor Sun-King Sununu … not many people are taking his make-believe, pretend Presidential campaign seriously.

You Can’t Seek the Truth in a Courtroom When Judges Tolerate Lying.

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-04-28 15:00 +0000

Since 2020, I have spent about 40 hours in the Courtroom. I can’t say that Justice has been served. The Court has shown a disturbing level of patience and acceptance for City Attorneys and employees who are willfully misrepresenting information, lacking candor, and, in some instances, boldly lying.

Right-to-Know cases are being handled like criminal trial matters. The Court has shifted the burden on the record requester to prove the City should have provided the information rather than holding the City accountable to prove the case for nondisclosure. Citizens do not make good Trial Attorneys.

I have been amazed at how freely City Attorney’s violate their Professional Conduct Rules for candor and deliberately mislead the Court. Apparently, this is Standard Operating Procedure for today’s Courtroom. In these “criminal” Right-to-Know matters, the city is all about creating doubt by fabricating stories about how our records are stored.

In one instance, Attorney Bolton told Judge Temple that the City of Nashua prints out emails, stores them in paper form in 29,000 different files and then deletes the emails. There was no written policy or unwritten practice to do so. It was just a cockamamie statement made to sway the Judge to rule against an email records request. But more importantly, it made no sense and was unreasonable. The Judge was silent on this statement.

During a Trial, witness Kim Kleiner, under questioning, told the Court that she was aware that the written policy on record storage was incorrect, and that the policy had changed but was not updated. When Citizens requested, under the Right-to-Know Law, records for retention, Ms. Kleiner willfully provided the incorrect written policy, failing to provide an explanation that the policy had been changed but was not updated in writing. The Judge was silent on this testimony.

In another instance, Attorney Leonard wrote a recent Supreme Court Appellant Brief where she referenced, 13 times, that the City complied with the State required Record Retention laws and that the employee star witness, a supervisor clerk, had provided uncontroverted testimony and was an uncontroverted expert, always complying with the law. However, the Trial Transcript documented that the Supervisor was not aware of the City’s email retention policy and had never heard of the State Statute for Record Retention. Does this pass the red-face test? It does if you are Attorney Leonard, whose deceit is second nature.

To continue with her pattern and practice of deceit and misrepresentation, Attorney Leonard told the Supreme Court during March Oral Arguments that citizens must request their records through the right agency within the City. Since the City won’t tell citizens where or how the records are stored, the right agency is a mystery.

Deception, illusion, and dishonesty is Nashua’s game. The Court’s tolerance for these tactics has denied our right to keep our government open, accessible, and accountable.

A Lack of Transparency is a Symptom of Dishonesty

Biden Cheat Sheet Has Reporter’s Pic and The Question She Will Ask

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-04-28 13:30 +0000

The Republican National Committee is usually too busy watching the decline of America from the right to produce anything useful, but today we have an exception—pictures of Joe Biden’s “press conference” Cheat Sheet.

There’s a picture of the “journalist.” The text of the question they will ask the president and his “response.

 


If you had doubts about the Press being a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party Political Machine, kiss that goodbye. For this to work, the White House and the Reporters had to agree to questions in advance to which staffers would write answers the president would read.

Leader of the free world? He’s not even free to answer random questions from the so-called watchdog media. Are you Ridin with that Biden? If you are, you should be embarrassed.

Here are a few more pics shared in the RNC Twitter thread.

 

Another one of Biden’s notes called the press conference a “tough Q&A.”

 

A third note indicated to Biden (“YOU”) that he was, in fact, an attendee at the “prep” session in his own office.

 

Did he read the word “you” because that would not be out of the ordinary? But think about that detail. Joe Biden was in the meeting but needs notes reminding him that he was there. Was he? He’ll read whatever they put in front of him and, often, not well.

And at how many meetings is he (The President) absent? The notes imply he is either too addled to remember or that he is not in every meeting at which one might expect him to be present.

None of that should surprise anyone paying attention, but there it is.

Exit Question: if planted questions and prepared responses is a tough Q&A, … does that mean Xi Jinping is giving him cheat sheets when it’s time to talk to China? How about Zelenskyy?

Yup … Nikki is more concerned with protecting Ukraine’s borders … much more concerned … than with protecting children from globalist-corporations whose business-model centers around the grooming of children.

Was That Joe Or A Dark AI Fill-In

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-04-28 10:30 +0000

A dark 90-second video released at 6:00 AM on a Tuesday exemplifies the first term of the second-worst President in our history. Reusing his overworked lines from 2020, he says he will unite the country and finish the work of his first term.

He said in 2020 that he wanted to restore the soul of America. He stole our soul, as that was all we had left after he spent our future on clever-sounding plans that were greener than Kermit.

Is Joe so unsure of his commitment to run at 82 that he released his announcement as the sun was rising on the Capitol—no prime-time announcement to get the most impact? We are seeing the start of another cellar campaign. In utter disrespect for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And Maryann Williamson, who have announced their campaign for the Democrat candidate, Joe has announced that there will be no debates and primaries. So much for Democracy, Joe.

Joe also found sufficient time in the short presentation to insult many of us who claim to be MAGA Republicans. We are not drawn together by being called radical extremists and portrayed as violent individuals with no concern for the country. We are what the acronym says. We want to Make America Great Again, as we were doing before Biden started his first term. Joe is not a Unifier but a Divider, and four more years of his rhetoric and actions and we may be too far apart ever to come together.

The Debt Ceiling is a prime example of Biden not being a man of his word. He will not even meet with Kevin McCarthy to work out a compromise on the budget and ceiling. He and his mouthpiece, Karine Jean-Pierre, simply harp on the MAGA moniker. Maybe they are both “One-Trick-Ponies .”

Kamala Harris was seen in the video but never mentioned by name. Harris is a negative that he will need to answer to for the duration of his campaign. With President Biden starting a second term at 82, the topic of Harris stepping in as President must be addressed, and nobody will like the answer. Biden is the least favorite President ever to seek re-election. Kamala Harris is even less desirable with both Democrats and Republicans.

In addition to the daybreak video, it symbolizes what this campaign will be. There is no way Biden’s keepers would let him go live with the kick-off, and the entire campaign will be low-key and orchestrated. There will be few opportunities for the media to ask questions, and the possibility of blunders will be minimized. The only interaction the President will have to navigate will be the debates with the Republican candidate, and the press will be in his corner every step of the way.

The other major press release today involved the First Son. The judge presiding over the child-support case involving the President’s denied granddaughter begins on Monday, and Hunter has been ordered to appear in person. The Hunter story will supply much more drama and excitement than the senior Biden could ever deliver. He can no longer hide from justice in the White House, and this trial could expose far more that the Biden family wants the public to see.

Quick Thought – So Another Prez Wannabee Throws His Hat Into The Ring

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-04-28 03:00 +0000

Another prez wannabee throws his hat into the ring and promptly does a one-point nose-dive into the floor.  This is a great line: WHY?

Asa Hutchinson formally announces White House campaign.

  • How many of you even recognize the name?
  • How many of you knew he was a Governor?
  • And further, how many of you know which State he was Governor?

That’s why the “WHY” is the operative word in that line above. He’s got as much chance as Sununu, which isn’t saying much at all.

The Nashua Court’s Alignment with the City

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-04-28 01:30 +0000

Last August, my Attorneys filed a federal suit against the City of Nashua, naming eight City leaders, alleging numerous violations of constitutional rights. All this stemmed from trying to access public records in Nashua, which began in 2018.

At the time this began, I had no idea that this would become a decade-long story.

The Court’s inability to apply their own Administrative Orders (2013-08) to Right-to-Know cases has weighed the Scales of Justice in favor of the City and denied citizens the due process for priority hearing entitled under the state statute. In Nashua, there are no checks and balances on the Judicial side of the Court. It appears, there is no oversight. Clear and unambiguous Administrative Orders are interpreted by Judges in a manner to dissuade citizens from accessing the Court. If a citizen believes a Judge has committed a rule violation, the only place to bring the matter is to the Judicial Conduct Committee (JCC). This serves as the end of the line for misconduct complaints. There should be something in between. This creates an inefficiency that, again, weighs to the advantage of the City.

The JCC is an organization wrapped in secrecy that moves along at a snail’s pace providing little feedback on the process. It is a wait and see game that can take years. So, these clear violations of due process in the lower court are not easily fixable. The City wins with delays that the Court is responsible for, running up legal bills and locking down records for years. Is this intentional?

I filed a Professional Conduct Committee (PCC) complaint against an Attorney, Brian Cullen, for what I believed was a targeted action on the part of the City to shut down a reasonably and legally afforded annulment. The Court ruled in my favor on the Annulment. However, the PCC did not act on my complaint against Mr. Cullen. Attorneys protect other attorneys.

Attorney Cullen argued to the PCC and Court that I was trying to gain an advantage in the federal case by requesting the annulment. Of course, the City wants nothing more than to shut down any further Superior Court rulings that would support the constitutional violations alleged in the Federal Case.

It would seem the incorrect argument employed by Attorney Cullen, is now being used by the Court to slow down Right-to-Know cases so rulings and orders will not be issued until after the Spring 2024 Federal trial. The Court’s actions feel I am being forced to settle.

This is not the due process citizens are entitled to. Nashua Citizens ability to seek redress in Court for violations of RSA 91-A is being destroyed. The mess the Court has created has shut down legal representation for citizens. The City can continue to operate outside the law. The Court’s alignment with the City is a victory for the City.

Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – Blue States: We Own Your Kids! (And Joe Biden Agrees)

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-04-28 00:00 +0000

If your minor child goes to Washington or California (as other Blue States are looking to follow suit), they will give them puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and sexual organ mutilation surgery to make them “normal.” Short-term exuberance shortly followed by “What have I done??”. And then a realization by many (not all, but more and more) that their real problems were not their physical bodies but what was going on (or not) in their minds.

Once again, I have “stream of consciousness” thoughts.

 



 

 

Note: unlike some podcasters, I don’t plan any of these out ahead of time. I start talking, for good or worse, and what comes out, comes out. And what should be coming out of your mouths is “HELL NO”!

We’ve seen countries that have decided that YOUR children are really Society’s children (and if you were ill-educated in government schools, that would be the Soviet Union, the Eastern bloc vassal nations of theirs, Communist China, et al.). Which, to put it properly in translation, really means that the State owns them. You just give birth to them.

Remember Hillary’s “It Takes a Village”? Yeah, the “Collective” owns them.  The NEA says that “teachers know best.” Yeah, the “Collective” owns them.  Former MSNBC Talking Head Melissa Harris-Perry held this thought (video at the link):

“We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we’ve always had a private notion of children; your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven’t had a very collective notion of these are our childrenWe Have to Break Through This Idea ‘That Kids Belong to Their Parents‘“

Yeah, the “Collective” owns them. My response was, “If you thought getting my rifle out of my cold, dead hands was hard enough…”.

And now President Asterisk decided to weigh in on the same Communist mantra that WE parents should have no hold on our children:

Speaking during a teachers event in the Rose Garden at the White House Monday afternoon, President Joe Biden claimed America’s children don’t belong to their parents, but instead to society as a whole.

And the Left, especially the Teachers Unions (AFT, NEA) take umbrage with the retort of “The Government does NOT, WILL not, co-parent my child!”???

RedState takes it right to the quick (emphasis mine):

Yeah, that’s a big fat “nope.” My children do not, in fact, belong to Joe Biden or anyone else in the broader community. I’m responsible for them, I support them, and I protect them. I do not need an overbearing government assigning them to nebulous “children of the nation” status while shoving left-wing indoctrination down their throats. And rest assured, that’s what this is about.

Biden is deeply upset that many parents have said enough is enough when it comes to schools exposing their children to sexualized and racialized content. Bills passed in Florida have led in that fight but states all over the union are following suit, restoring parental rights in the face of demented school officials. Biden’s Soviet-esque vision of communal parenting is just an extension of the “it takes a village” tripe that Hillary Clinton promoted, and we aren’t down for it.

Whether Biden likes it or not, the government or any sub-section of it, right down to local school districts, will not decide what values are instilled in my children. That’s a basic freedom they will not infringe on, and if they keep trying, parents will only push back harder. That’s especially true when dealing with issues like sexuality, gender, and religion.

Note: Oh, by the way – at the time I wrote this, I was unaware that the appeal of the Manchester School District case about lying to parents about the transgender status of their child (in this case, hiding the fact that the District was counseling towards as well as aiding and abetting the child to transition to be a sex she can never be) is being heard at the NH Supreme Court today. The original decision by the Maggie Hassan appointed Superior Court judge was, effectively, that a parent had no rights to their child while in a government school.

Let’s see if SCONH believes that children actually do belong to the State.  If it does, we’re all screwed as it will be a fundamental change in our Society that will have huge ramifications going forward – and not good ones.

So that is where I will be when this post goes live.

React 19 Panel With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at Dartmouth

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-04-27 22:30 +0000

On Wednesday, at the Hanover Inn, the React 19 panel spoke at length about the mishandling of the medical and governmental reaction to the SARS-CoV-2 virus that took over the world in 2020-2021.  The primary focus was mandates that continue to hold sway with over 1,000 colleges and universities still enforcing vaccine mandates on students.

Vermont’s Dr. Sandy Reider, a founding member of Physicians for Informed Consent, was among the panel.

Other panelists included Harvard’s Martin Kulldorff, Ph.D. and co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for a moratorium on draconian lockdown and other measures, award-winning cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra, orthopedic surgeon and React 19 co-founder Dr. Joel Wallskog, George Mason law school professor Todd Zywicki, J.D., Pfizer clinical trial whistleblower Brook Jackson.  The panel was moderated by Kim Witczak a global drug safety advocate.

The banquet hall at the Hanover Inn holds some four hundred people and was sold out by the time I tried to get into the $ 300-a-plate fundraiser for React 19.  Those in attendance were unusually demonstrative for a New England crowd, breaking into applause and hollering out at random throughout the gathering.

Witczak prefers a “popcorn” approach to discussions which makes for an interesting range of topics discussed. In all, the panel confessed to being fooled by the global response. Many claimed to be early adopters of the vaccine, several having been vaccinated, while also suffering harassment and censorship for expressing public concerns over poor management and civil rights violations.

From bad medicine to unlawful government overreach, the panel was united in both their deep disapproval and professional disgust for the conduct of pandemic super players like Dr. Anthony Fauci, governors Cuomo and Whitmer, and a media who were obviously complicit in carrying the toxic water that bathed citizens and airwaves, including our vulnerable children.

Democrat candidate hopeful for president and Big Pharma nightmare Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. preceded the evening’s keynote speaker, fellow lawyer Aaron Siri.  His commentary was perhaps the most salient given he now contends with current President Biden as the party nominee.  Even conservatives are eager at the thought of a Kennedy Jr./Gabbard ticket.

Kennedy is a repository of stories and information that elucidates our current predicament regarding vaccines and America’s health crises.  His speech opens with his pleasant surprise to find an Ivy League room familiar with VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System).  He then explains the history of VAERS and how it was considered “wholly inadequate” early on by then Surgeon General Kessler.  VAERS continues to under-deliver proper medical feedback due to its self-reporting requirement, which leaves doctors, many of whom had never heard of it, de-incentivized to assume responsibility out of embarrassment for suggesting bad medicine.

He then cites the Lazarus study, which revealed less than 1% of all adverse events are reported.  So when we hear from Naomi Wolf, that there were 46,000 reported events by Pfizer. The actual number is closer to 4.6 million.

Much of Kennedy’s family shares the legacy of creating the American health regulatory body we have today.  If Democrats and their big government ideals are to be applauded, it’s in this realm, no doubt.  Among them include his joint venture with David Koch of Koch Energy, a company Kennedy has sued over twenty times for environmental reasons, who likewise had a child with crippling food allergies both men believe were caused by vaccination.

Kennedy, who also runs the Children’s Health Defense organization, keeps the focus of his speech on topic.  Namely, how are these vaccines affecting our children, why is it so bad, who is responsible, and what can we do about it?

1989 was the year following Ronald Reagan’s approval of the VICA protections, which made vaccines the “perfect business model,” leading to a veritable “gold rush” for vaccine makers.  The act essentially instituted a risk-free and government-guaranteed $1 billion per year cemented with legal immunity for anyone looking to play the game.

Among the famous players are Bill Gates, who has said vaccines were the best business investment he’s ever made.  Kennedy shares Gate’s ability to use American funds thanks to a specious claim of “saving 30 million lives” in Africa, where he and the World Health Organization (WHO) continue to promote a DPT vaccine to 160,000,000 African children each year.  Challenged by the Danish government and Danish bio-lab company Novo Nordisk (who have a facility in West Lebanon, NH), now with thirty years of research, Gates and the WHO need to explain why they continue to recommend the DPT shot shown to kill African girls at 10x the rate of non-vaccinated African girls.  In fact, the vaccine kills more children than the disease it’s purported to mitigate against.  Experts who expose or bother to ask seem to be looking for work shortly thereafter.

After 1989 the number of neurological disorders went from 1 in 10,000 among Kennedy’s generation to 1 in 34 today.  There are over 100 disorders associated with today’s schedule of 72 vaccines.  The inserts in today’s vaccine list virtually all of them, not as a catch-all as some suggest, but legally due to their proven links.  It’s unlawful to list anything not shown to cause harm.

The most controversial is autism which now occurs in one in every five children.  Kennedy says we know it’s from the vaccines thanks to numerous independent studies.  We also know food allergies are caused by them as well, thanks to empirical evidence using the aluminum adjuvant coupled with the specific protein (dairy, peanuts, latex, etc.) shown in rats.

Speaking of rats Kennedy ties a bow around his expose by mentioning the captured agencies and names of those who knowingly lie about their culpability.  It’s his unwavering crusade to hold these people accountable that has made him a national hero and likely bipartisan favorite to hold the highest office in the land.

He maintains his faith in both science and medicine. However, his lack of faith in the agencies to correct themselves is apparent. Throwing his hat into the ring, given his family history, takes tremendous courage in today’s environment.  In a room full of high IQs, he remains remarkably down to earth, starting his crusade largely over his concern for children losing the right and joy of fishing with their dads and granddads.

We are reminded fighting evil doesn’t take intelligence it takes courage and the willingness to stand up and speak out.  Even with a quivering and injured voice, Mr. Kennedy is putting his time and money where his mouth is, which is about twelve inches above his lion’s heart.

Blue Hampshire … Where The “Conservatives” Sound Just Like The Communists (aka NH-Democrats)

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-04-27 21:00 +0000

I previously posted about a “conservative” State Rep who believes that the same NH-Democrats who support late-term abortion, grooming, DEI, CRT, oppose parental rights, etc. etc. etc. are “good people”: NO. Communists (aka New Hampshire Democrats) Are Not “Good People.” Well … HE’S BACK … at NH-NeverTump Journal, that is … shilling for Obamacare … more specifically, gaslighting us by claiming that Obamacare Medicaid Expansion is “conservative”:

According to this State Rep, Obamacare has lowered the costs of healthcare:

From a healthcare standpoint, the program’s results speak for themselves: The number of uninsured patients seeking emergency room care reduced by 63 percent; uninsured inpatient admission reduced by 57 percent; and uninsured outpatient admissions reduced by 41 percent. For New Hampshire hospitals, the cost of uncompensated care attributable to the uninsured has dropped dramatically from $173 million in 2014 to $69 million in 2021.

This drop in uncompensated care is important because uncompensated care gets folded into rates paid by insurers for services provided by hospitals, making it a hidden tax on private insurers and a cost for businesses and individuals with private insurance.

Apparently, this State Rep believes, or wants voters to believe, that “the cost of uncompensated care attributable to the uninsured [that] has dropped dramatically” just happened magically; money just fell out of the sky into the coffers of hospitals; it didn’t cost you or me anything. BULLSH*T.

Obamacare Medicaid Expansion simply shifted the cost of providing healthcare to certain uninsured from hospitals to working and middle class people. Somebody has to pay for the providing health insurance to the uninsured … and that someone is the federal government … which means that working and middle class people are primarily footing the bill.

This is how Democrats talk …it’s FREE MONEY; what could go wrong?!?! Maybe runaway inflation and skyrocketing debt.

ADDITIONALLY, paying for the healthcare of able-bodied people who are able to work is now “conservative”? SERIOUSLY? This is corporatism … forcing working and middle class people to pad the bottom-lines of the hospitals … NOT CONSERVATISM.

Manchester Proud: Another Disappointment

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-04-27 19:30 +0000

Manchester Proud has been involved with the Manchester public schools for many years now. Some have even questioned who’s really running the school after they hear how Manchester Proud is involved.

The New Hampshire House Education Committee heard testimony on SB218. SB218 would establish an early educator professional development grant. During testimony, Sue Hannon, who is an educator in the Manchester schools, spoke in favor of SB218. (54:00). She explained how this money could be used to fund mentors for teachers in Manchester. She explained how this would help teachers, which would ultimately help students. She gave a thorough explanation of how this money would be used.

The committee members asked detailed questions, but as I sat there listening, I wondered why Manchester Proud hasn’t funded this important position.

Manchester Proud claims to be an organization focused on improving the schools. So why are employees in the district taking their personal day off of work to ask for additional funding? What has Manchester Proud done for the teachers and students in the public schools?

Here you can read about Manchester Proud wasted $30,000.00 to join the Council of Great City Schools (CGCS). Teachers were pleading for basic necessities in the classroom, but that wasn’t a priority for Manchester Proud. CGCS pushes political objectives.

Here Manchester Proud was noted for teaming up with the radicalized 2Revolutions. Another politicized group that pushes the radical and racist Critical Race Theory agenda in public schools.

And despite Manchester Proud’s claim to not be political, in 2018, their political associations drew negative attention.

What does Manchester Proud focus on now?

Manchester Proud highlighted the school’s Chief Equity Officer here. This is what Tina Philibotte focuses on:

My greatest aspiration is to have culturally sustaining systems, practices, and pathways in place where students feel seen, heard, and valued. Manchester schools will be nurturing spaces where all students and families have agency in matters where they are most directly affected. The voices of the historically marginalized and historically under-resourced community members will be lifted up and prioritized, and all kids will have what they need to contribute positively to their community.

Once again, a lot of FLUFF but no substance. There is nothing about the importance of improving literacy for the underserved students in this district. Nothing about improving academic outcomes or the importance of knowledge. When will someone care about uplifting students in this district so doors will be opened for them?

Compare Manchester Proud’s priorities to Sun Hannon’s priorities. Sue Hannon wants to make sure that the teachers are well prepared to teach in the classroom. She wants to make sure that teachers have mentors, and that the district can retain the teachers they have on staff. There’s no fluff in that, but instead a lot of substance.

Manchester Proud’s blatant disregard for prioritizing the needs in the district, is on display again. When will they bring something of substance to the table?

Real social justice begins with a focus on academic excellence in a safe learning environment. Employees shouldn’t have to take a day off of work to ask for money from the State, when so much is wasted by Manchester Proud!

Vermont Elementary School Removes Male and Female From Sex Ed Curriculum

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-04-27 18:00 +0000

Vermont continues to impress upon Americans that it is not the place to move to if you plan to raise a family. Rising taxes, rising crime, and cultural decline. It is spiraling downhill like the average Dem-Run city but with great views.

The latest cultural Marxist domino to fall comes from Founders Memorial Elementary School. As in, the principles behind the Founding are dead. In an effort to be inclusive, the school will exclude the terms male and female from 5th-grade instruction on puberty and reproduction.

 

“In an effort to align our curriculum with our equity policy, teachers will be using gender inclusive language throughout this unit. With any differences, we strive to use ‘person-first’ language as best practice,” Jablonski wrote.

Instead of referring to a person as a “boy” or “male,” teachers will say “person who produces sperm.” Likewise, they will no longer say “girl” or “female” but “person who produces eggs.”

 

A few things to digest. Vermont. Elementary School. Sex Education. Sperm. Eggs. Exclusion is inclusive. And we wouldn’t want sperm producers thinking they can’t participate in egg producer sports. With puberty blossoming, it is an excellent time to ruin a child’s life for life. Maybe give them some dangerous drugs, and mutilate their bodies. Make it so they can’t choose to do a damn thing either way with the sperm or the eggs.

While we’re on the subject.

 

A “healthy” 18-year-old trans-identifying male died after surgeons created a “neo-vagina” for him using his own colon tissue. The procedure resulted in fatal necrotizing fasciitis, according to a 2016 medical article documenting the teen’s death. …

The surgeons used the teen’s colon tissue because there was not enough tissue from his penis for them to use to create the “neo-vagina.” The lack of penile tissue was due to puberty blockers the teen had been put on when he was very young, causing his penis to be underdeveloped.

 

I’m not sure healthy is the word I’d use to describe the individual with an underdeveloped penis electing to have a neo-vagina made from a portion of their large bowel. Note: if exhumed many years from now, the skeletal remains will only be identifiable “as male.” Talk about a sin worse than dead-naming.

And what about the parents of these elementary school kids at Founders Memorial? Are they just mortified to go up against The System, or are they idiots? I’m serious. Because neither of those is acceptable, these are children. Many of them are trapped in an unhealthy environment. It’s progressives, public schools, and pedophiles. They all have one thing in common. They are sexualizing children for their partisan purposes.

It’s disgusting.

I always expected de-dollarization to follow both a) an economic crisis and b) a major military defeat, but instead, it appears to have preceded both due to the very rational fears of countries observing how Russia was attacked economically via the global dollar system.

Apparently India and Bangladesh have dropped the dollar for bilateral trade.  More:

Antifa intimidation in action

Good for the cops.  This time.  In many instances, though, especially in blue hives, they’ve been co-opted for the enemy.  And Peter has, in his write-up, two excellent points – here’s the first one.  Take it to heart:

First, Antifa is clearly a well-organized, well-funded, trained movement.  It’s not a mere grassroots “upswelling” or spontaneous “response” to anything.  It plans ahead, and has members willing to get in the face of anyone and any movement with whose views it disagrees.

More on this incident:

Very educative video. – Gun Free Zone

Similar conclusions, e.g.:

1) They are well funded. They have gear that does not come cheap for people who are probably not holding a high-paying job. If somebody feel like doing the math and add up all the stuff they are carrying, it will be very welcomed.

2) They use misdirection and layering a lot. Two were keeping the protesters distracted while the third sneaked in and sprayed. Right after the attack, two others with long guns step in to block field of view and possibly distract with menacing.

These are not clowns.  They are not goof-offs.  They have funding, they have training, and they have zeal.

How a Librarian Fired For Sharing Conservative Political Views … Got Her Job Back!

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-04-27 15:00 +0000

One person making a difference in NH at the local library. I would like to send an update on the library situation in Raymond, NH. My last article shared the success story of the vote for a conservative trustee in March. We felt victorious as we voted for Virginia Fernold, a vote for traditional values in Raymond.

We want to thank Cindy Bennett for this Op-Ed. Please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

We also passed a warrant article that will allow us leverage to rid the children’s section of the library of any adult content and themes.

Warrant Article 43 states:

“The Citizens of Raymond hereby declare, from this point forward, that the downstairs children’s library room in the Dudley Tucker Library will be free of any books with content containing nudity, gender identity, sex or sexual references in writing or illustrations”.

It is becoming evident that passing this article is going to result in lots of discussions as we sift through what this actually means, to me, it’s common sense, but to some librarians taking it to the extreme will make it seem that this was not a well-written warrant article.  We have heard the discussion between trustees on our local cable station RCTV, that this statement means to them that we need to take out references to any gender whatsoever. They have said that it could be interpreted that any book with the word he or she or any gender mentioned needs to be taken from the library. I am pretty sure it is common sense that that is not the case.

All in all, we are very happy that these votes in March reflect the people’s voice in town. Unfortunately, our elected official, Virginia,  had to resign already due to her health issues. Our prayers are with her.

We are still waiting for instructions as to how this position will now be filled.  I, personally, have sent in a letter to volunteer. The original vote consisted of two candidates, a current trustee who was very comfortable with the trends at the library, and Virginia. By choosing Virginia it seems obvious that the citizens voted for change. As we know the library is non-partisan, however, it is also very obvious in our dialogues that conservatism is getting pushed aside for the modern agendas of the American Library Association.

In the midst of all of this,  a new librarian was hired to hold the post at the front desk, Arlene Quaratiello. Arlene also ran for state representative in the town of Atkinson and won her seat in March. It had already been agreed upon when she was hired that the library would honor her state rep position and that they would be flexible as she carried out her duties. I was especially excited to have Arlene at the library. Every time I went in she was talkative, helpful, smiling, ready, and willing to help patrons. She is a former teacher so she was so happy to start crafting some educational classes for adults. She had one class in March that I could not attend but I heard that the chairs were full of eager adults.

Unfortunately, Arlene was unexpectedly fired for sharing her conservative political views and support of a fellow citizen who was running as a trustee in Atkinson. Arlene was shocked at this action and immediately sought the rules and her rights in this situation. It turned out that she was actually fired for exercising her First Amendment rights. She was fired for a letter with conservative political views that she wrote while on her own time, as a citizen.  So, she started taking steps to make this right. She asked for a public hearing which is in the policy for this type of situation. Then, she started legal discussions. A friend started a GiveSendGo account to help to cover the legal fees that she might incur.

You know and I know that this is not just about Arlene. This is about our First Amendment rights. If this can happen to one trustee at a small library in NH, this can happen to any one of us. This is an opportunity to say NO; we stand with Arlene and we want to participate in making sure that this is made right. We will stand for our Constitutional Rights.

Within a day of putting out the GiveSendGo fundraiser, the narrative changed because Arlene was offered her job back. She has accepted the offer and she has been reinstated. Thanks to Arlene for taking the steps that it took to stand for rights in our town.  The fundraiser is still available with updated information.  I am so thankful that I have met Arlene. She has stood with integrity and truth throughout the entire situation. She has made decisions with purpose and she has demonstrated what a difference one person can make for the cause of freedom. If you would like more info from Arlene you can find her during business hours at the Dudley Tucker Library, Raymond, NH, or at the state house as a state representative for Atkinson, NH. And if you want to support her efforts for freedom of speech for librarians, click to go to the GiveSendGo account.

I truly hope that by sharing this story, that this will inspire more patrons of libraries, citizens of NH, all of us, to get involved wherever we can.

Too many people are hiding out at home waiting for things to get better. Or, perhaps, people are just making the best of their lives during a most difficult time in history. While many turn a blind eye to damaging agendas, they are continuing to grow in strength. The agendas that will destroy our heritage are upon us.

Please consider picking up a cause and fighting for it. Knowing our rights is not enough, we need to defend them  and fight to keep them,  and we need to support our neighbors’ freedoms as well. Remember what Edmund Burke famously stated:

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”
