I Agree with the Techie…Leave No Door Unlocked

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-09-22 22:00 +0000
Yeah, curmudgeon here. When I was younger, I played around with X10 devices to create a “smart home” and all that. But when I saw this, I said “Yep, nope!”: Smart House should be MY house without all the electronic peeping toms watching everything I do: vacuum cleaners, lights, thermostats, Alexa, Siri, and all the ...

Unpromising Beginnings for Education Finance Reform

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-09-22 20:00 +0000
The Commission on the Future of Public Education in VT’s subcommittee on Finance Reform met on September 4th (going back a bit, but the Commission has not been too punctual about posting its meeting recordings). It was their first meeting so, in fairness, expectations for any real substance were low. Still, some initial observations are worth ... Read more

The Peter Principle Finally Claims Its Rightful Victim …

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-09-22 18:00 +0000
The Peter Principle: …is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to “a level of respective incompetence” And it will claim who it will. Yes, I’m late with this news (I keep TRYING to come back…sigh). It happened at the end of last month: Laconia superintendent steps down Steve ... Read more

DEI Is a Cancer on The Armed Forces

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-09-22 16:00 +0000
Today, our military services face growing threats around the world while their ability to maintain a quality, well-trained, and capable force is at risk.  Our focus should be on readiness, warfighting, and especially selecting the best qualified leaders possible, not on recruiting Drag Queens to perform for service members and their families or promoting sex ...

The Illusion of Evil

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-09-22 14:00 +0000
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is Real, and may someday be a recognized mental disorder. How else can blind hatred be so prevalent? I never liked the man, but saw some value in his business expertise and the belief that he does care about America, of course that is subjective. I have known his faults since ... Read more

“Who Really Are the MAGA People?”

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-09-22 12:00 +0000
You know, I really wanted this campaign season to be a Super Bowl time for me – who knows how much time on this mortal coil I (or anyone else, for that matter) remains for them? Alas and alack, the Good Lord above, in his most amusing way, decided otherwise for me. So, in trying ... Read more

Taxing Unrealized Capital Gains and an Inflation Nexus

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-09-22 10:00 +0000
Among the various new taxes proposed by Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign are increased levies on capital gains and taxation of unrealized capital gains on wealthy Americans. Given recent history, this is particularly sneaky. The Biden-Harris team sparked rapid inflation, so now the Harris-Waltz duo wants to tax the phantom inflationary gain even before citizens holding ... Read more

Don’t Trust the Government. Not with Your Privacy, Property or Your Freedoms

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-09-22 02:00 +0000
Public trust in the government to “do what is right” understandably remains at an all-time low. After all, how do you trust a government that continuously sidesteps the Constitution and undermines our rights? You can’t. When you consider all the ways “we the people” are being bullied, beaten, bamboozled, targeted, tracked, repressed, robbed, impoverished, imprisoned and ... Read more

Are Pavlov’s Disciples Behind Trumps Assassination Attemps

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-09-22 00:00 +0000
If a dog can be trained to salivate each time he sees a light appear, is it not possible to condition people’s minds to commit violent assassination attempts? As a longtime student and observer of how Pavlovian mind control influences the American political arena, two books from the 1970s give insight into how Pavlov’s techniques ... Read more

Evangelicals And Gun Owners Need To Vote

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-09-21 22:00 +0000
This election looks like a toss-up if you believe the polls. One day, Trump is up by two, and the next day, it’s flipped. We have roughly 50 days until election day, and it will be a nail-biter, but it doesn’t have to be. First, the polls have been far from accurate for the last ... Read more

Is Kelly Ayotte against Free Speech?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-09-21 20:00 +0000
In her book on pandemic planning, “Ending the Cycle of Crisis and Complacency in U.S. Global Health Security,” Ayotte supports state censorship of social media. This book was written before the pandemic! You can look for yourself. She mentions “disinformation” seven times, promoting the need for state censorship. “…the credibility of the scientific and medical ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-09-21 16:00 +0000
I was recently interviewed by Michael Nevradakis of Children’s Health Defense.

A Personal Release

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-09-21 14:00 +0000
With my writing approaching four decades, there is this nagging or just an inner questioning of this knack. I suppose it has to do with being out of sync with the concept or general idea of a boilermaker, however, this personal aspect is not broad based since its been limited only to family and friends. ...

Historic Snowfall Has to Be Your Fault

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-09-21 12:00 +0000
Snow was one of the early casualties of the Global Warming, but when snow refused to play along, they changed it to climate change. The climate is constantly changing and sometimes, in some places, more dramatically than others. Like this! It can snow any month of the year here in Montana, but what’s going on ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-09-21 10:00 +0000
Today’s article may appear to have a typo in the title, but it’s not a mistake. It’s a fact. Sean O’Brien, the CEO of Teamsters National, made a historic decision by choosing not to endorse a candidate for 2024. This is the first time the Teamsters have not aligned with a candidate since 1996. The ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-09-21 02:00 +0000
A key architect and proponent of the Unaffordable Heat Act, Rep. Laura Sibilia, recently penned a defense of the program.
