How is Vermont’s Phil Scott The Most Popular Governor In America?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-08-13 16:00 +0000
The details are behind a paywall, but according to Morning Consult, Vermont Governor Phil Scott has an 81 percent approval rating. Did they poll people who don’t live in Vermont, or, more likely, he’s seen sympathetically as an abused spouse? Scott is a victim, like them, of the immovable object that is Vermont’s current veto-proof ... Read more

Here’s What Four Years Of Kamala Harris Would Cost

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-08-13 14:00 +0000
If Americans thought that the Biden administration was the most far-left, big-government, elite Democratic administration that America has ever seen, they are in for a rude awakening. As the Left has effectively silenced the voices of 14 million voters by deposing President Joe Biden from the party ticket, they have paved the way for Vice President Kamala ... Read more

Let’s Not Forget – It Was All Planned

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-08-13 12:00 +0000
Yes, another trip to the Russel Brand Podcast well, but with good reason. He recently shared a clip from an interview with David Martin that includes things we must keep public, present, and current. The global elites engineered, planned, and deployed the China Virus deliberately to advance a well-laid plan for the acceptance of a ... Read more

Trump Has Some Hilarious Nickname Options For Tim Walz

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-08-13 10:00 +0000
In the past, we’ve gotten gems like Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary and Meatball Ron. Even Kamala Harris — Laffin’ Kamala or Kamabla — has a few options to choose from. But her running mate, Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, has yet to be blessed with a signature Donald Trump nickname. Perhaps Trump is weighing his ... Read more

Is it Still a Five-Sigma Event When It Reverses Itself a Year Later?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-08-13 02:00 +0000
“There was a Shepherd Boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest. It was lonely for him, so he devised a plan to get a little company. He rushed down towards the village calling out “Wolf, Wolf,” and the villagers came out to meet him. This pleased the ... Read more

German Court Bans Political Party From Possessing Firearms

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-08-13 00:00 +0000
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A political party opposed to mass immigration and inflationary economic policy in Germany has been cited as ineligible to possess firearms for illegal and unconstitutional activities. I know which way to go with this one. Are inflation and mass immigration constitutional? They must be. At the same time, ... Read more

The Spec Bowers Rino Report -Mike Bordes

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-08-12 22:00 +0000
In his four years, Bordes has gone from poor to bad to terrible. In the last two years, he has been ranked second or third worst among Republicans. In 2023, Mike Bordes had the second-worst score of all 200 Republicans. He voted 37 times with Democrats against a supermajority of Republicans, in most cases 95%. ... Read more

Harris/Walz Surrogate Schools America In The Art Of Lying

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-08-12 20:00 +0000
Harris/Walz campaign surrogate Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) showed on Sunday morning with Shannon Bream just how much and well they can lie to defend both members of the ticket for president of the United States. This is the first time I have seen or heard Crow, but after listening to his rhetoric for fifteen minutes, ... Read more

NHLA’s 2024 Candidate Endorsements

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-08-12 18:00 +0000
Once again, a liberty group has released a list of endorsements for candidates seeking seats in the legislature, 133 in total( 126 House and 7 Senate). Like AFP and GST, they’ve nuked their own credibility by supporting candidates who are enemies of 91A. I will point out that some of 2024’s NHLA-endorsed candidates are non-incumbents and, therefore, have ... Read more

MONDAY MEMES

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-08-12 16:00 +0000
Monday Monday, can’t trust that day! Last week’s Friday Edition. Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons: 1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought 2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes 3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.   Now, ... Read more

Kamala Owns The Border Mess

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-08-12 14:00 +0000
Harris is gaslighting the American people to believe she has no responsibility for the policies of the failed Biden/Harris Administration, and the media is allowing her to pull off this ruse. It is becoming very clear that the coup of Joe Biden and the elevation of Harris to presidential candidate was an orchestrated effort by ... Read more

DEI Meet MEI: Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-08-12 12:00 +0000
While Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies are nowhere near gasping their last destructive breath, recent shifts in corporate appreciation for them have waned significantly. Stockholders and stakeholders spurred more than a few publicly held companies to rediscover the benefits of eliminating unproductive labor costs—of which DEI policies and those hired to enforce them are not ...

Harmful Retweets

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-08-12 02:00 +0000
Canada might be closer to where I’m sitting and more likely to suggest you commit suicide, but it’s hard to beat the UK for garden variety tyranny. They’ve been known to arrest you for all manner of public expression unless, by the expression, you mean committing an actual crime. Not that they won’t arrest you ... Read more

Kamala’s Campaign Up Against the Walz

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-08-12 00:00 +0000
If choosing Tim Walz as her VP is a sign of the quality of executive decisions to come from whoever will be running the Harris administration), America is in a lot of trouble. But then, why would things be any different? Poorly vetted, rushed through the process, and ta-da! Sh!tshow. Walz is one of the ... Read more

From the Same People who Said Biden Was Sharp as a Tack – Fake Crowds for Kamala!

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-08-11 22:00 +0000
I hear rumors that there are more examples of this; faking crowds for Kamala, But this one was easy and obvious. The picture shows throngs of cheering fans greeting nominee Kamal and VP in training Tim Walz as they exit Air Force Two. It is a bright day, a shining plane, but the reflection on ... Read more

NH’s Next Test Case for Suppressing Speech?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-08-11 20:00 +0000
In the summer of 2023, the Attorney General’s office went out of its way to turn a trespassing charge (that was also thrown out) into a violation of NH Civil Rights Law. My assumption was that they were searching for a judicial ruling that would create a wedge to suppress free speech.  Disregarding how offensive ... Read more

Marijuana Dispensary and Grow Operations Should Be Armed Like Nuclear Power Plants

Free Keene - Sun, 2024-08-11 19:39 +0000

Did you know that federal law allows PRIVATE security to be armed with heavy weaponry like machineguns at Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensed facilities?  This obviously makes sense…  as these facilities are vital national security targets that we want defended at all costs.

The world should know that if any crazy terrorist wants to come at our nuclear facilities they will be met with heavily trained security officers carrying some seriously heavy weapons.  Thus, this is such a hard target to penetrate why even make an attempt?  That is a world I’d like to live in.  

These security officers are allowed to possess machineguns in furtherance of their duties.  Their ability to do so is codified in federal law and ultimately they answer to the NRC and the Attorney General regarding training, storage, etc… etc.

I propose that state licensed marijuana grow and dispensary operations be allowed to be armed by qualified individuals working also in private security in a similar manner.

When I say qualified individuals think retired police swat, federal agents, military guys with extensive training in said weaponry.  The crime rate before the organized crime even organizes against this new industry would be 0.00%.

Currently federal law requires any person who is armed in furtherance of a federally illegal Marijuana operation do a mandatory federal 5-year prison sentence. This is unacceptable.

I’ve personally met owners of dispensaries and people who work in grow operations.  I’ve been inside grow operations.  These people are not gangsters.  These people are family people fueling a new market that is way too vulnerable to crime. 

They won’t carry firearms because it’s illegal.  These are EXACTLY the people who should be ABLE to carry firearms.

These people should be allowed to employ private security that can carry machineguns, short barrel rifles, and all the things that NRC regulated facilities can do…  by appropriately trained personnel.

The Drug War has long been designed to socially engineer crime and violence. 

Let’s start to reverse engineer it so there is LESS violence.

Just Like The Burgess Biomass Boondoggle, I have little regard for NE Planned Parenthood

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-08-11 18:00 +0000
OK, I admit, I “stole” part of Steve’s post because I loved the alliteration (“Bradley’s Burgess Biomass Boondoggle is Back in the News“). If you remember, the Burgess wood chip electricity generation plant went bust when the NH Government taxpayer subsidies were finally denied to it. Frankly, with the caterwauling from NE Planned Parenthood that ... Read more

The Spec Bowers RINO Report – Bonnie Ham

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-08-11 16:00 +0000
Bonnie Ham has one of the worst voting records of all time.  Her opponent in Grafton 3 is Paul Schirduan. Ham won their 2022 primary by only four votes. Schirduan is a veteran of four years in the US Air Force and later worked as a civilian with the US Navy. His contact info is paulschirduan@hotmail.com, 603-728-8367. We ... Read more
