How Did You Protect “Your” Girls Again?

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-10-24 20:00 +0000
The response to allowing a convicted sex offender to watch high school girls’ soccer games (when his kink is teenage girls) has rightly boiled over. Parents are making administrators and school boards squirm. You knew and didn’t tell us? We reported yesterday that Hopkinton’s not-so-super Mike Flynn said they couldn’t stop him from attending (which ... Read more

The Presumption of Innocence & What’s Next for Our Supreme Court

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-10-24 18:00 +0000
Most everyone knows, or should know, that anyone charged with a crime in our country is entitled to a strong presumption of innocence, which presumption is rebutted only if and when they are actually convicted of the crime. This legal principle, long embedded in Anglo-American jurisprudence, is especially relevant in our current climate in New ... Read more

McKamala

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-10-24 16:00 +0000
The Trump stunt was genius, not because he pretended to work at McDonald’s but because of how well he interacted with everyone. Harris has issues with the truth, public speaking, getting along with others, plagiarism, and her resume. The 2019 campaign disaster mention of a job at McDonald’s was transported to the abbreviated 2024 campaign ... Read more

An Update on Rep Scott Wallace

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-10-24 14:00 +0000
Yes, I saw the Julie Smith by-line and clicked anyway, because the headline referenced Rep. Scott Wallace, whom I voted for. And I waded through the usual ego-trip of Why I’m writing this and How I intend to structure this, to get to the beef. Only, where’s the beef? Thanks to Spike for the Op-Ed ... Read more

Dem Candidate Worried About “Democracy” Wants Opponent on Terror Watch List

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-10-24 12:00 +0000
Then he Pretends He Never Said it. Richard Lobban is running for the New Hampshire House, Grafton County District 10. He sounds like an experienced guy. Been a lot of places. Done a lot of things. His platform, however, is a lot like Kamaal Harris’s —long on imagination but short on substance—typical Dem pablum. My ... Read more

Are We Going To Have A Fair Election

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-10-24 10:00 +0000
Democrats, especially anyone attached to the pirate Harris/Walz campaign, love to talk about Donald Trump as a threat to Democracy. We know that Kamala Harris lies as easily as her lips move and is the mistress of projection. Still, her campaign is becoming an embarrassment, with no semblance of credibility remaining. She can point to ... Read more

Words Mean Things

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-10-24 02:00 +0000
In order to communicate effectively, the parties involved must agree on what the words mean. For instance, let’s discuss “rights”—things to which one has a just claim. True rights do not conflict.  How could they?  No right of yours requires anyone else to do anything. A certain side of the political spectrum often tries to ... Read more

NH Not That Interested in Securing Ballot Chain of Custody After All

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-10-24 00:00 +0000
After months of activism and several weeks of reporting, the problem of properly securing completed ballots appeared to make some progress. The New Hampshire Secretary of State’s Office agreed to purchase and provide tamperproof tape that showed evidence of tampering. It sounds counterintuitive to think we’d been doing it the other way, but it’s true. Activists discovered the ... Read more

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-10-23 22:00 +0000
Cornerstone has released their list of rep candidate endorsements, which include some non incumbents and some former reps.  On their endorsement list are 44 enemies of 91A and here they are: I would like all Cornerstoners, meaning both members and supporters alike, to think about something for a moment.  While some of you might have ...

Safe Injection Sites

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-10-23 20:00 +0000
Do they increase drug use? A Vermont bill proposes to create safe injection sites around the state for substance abusers (aka drug addicts) who inject opioids and other drugs. This has understandably proved controversial, and I feel compelled to chime in. I ask readers to hear me out — I may not be very popular ... Read more

UN Study: Female Athletes Have Lost Almost 900 Medals to Trans Opponents (So Far …)

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-10-23 18:00 +0000
Try not to act all surprised, but according to the United Nations in a study called “Violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences.” women who were not born with a penis are losing to “women” who were born as men – at sports.

Why Should We Fight Wars for Ukraine and Israel?

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-10-23 18:00 +0000
When you take on the role of the world’s policeman, don’t be surprised when countries who cannot fight their own wars call “911.” That is exactly what is happening to the United States on two fronts and it is bankrupting our country, depleting the military that should serve our own national interest, and threatening to ...

Superintendent Mike Flynn, Call on Line One From Marcy Kelley

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-10-23 16:00 +0000
First, let me say how proud we are to have been invited to the ground floor of what has become an out-of-control burning sh!t wagon. It began in Bow, where parents who peacefully supported girls-only sports teams (by wearing pink wristbands with XX on them) received no-trespass orders for that “conduct.” A few weeks later, ...

Nix the Jersey Barriers, an Action Item

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-10-23 14:00 +0000
Nashua is less than 2 months away from the 100th anniversary of the fire that destroyed the previous Main Street bridge.  If you’re a paid member, you can read the Telegraph article about the impact that its absence had on transit.  I won’t get into the weeds of comparing 100 years ago to today, but ...

All the Bad Things People Suspected Were True, and Pfizer Knew

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-10-23 12:00 +0000
The Pfizer docs are a mountain of internal Pfizer and FDA communications that both wanted to be buried or hidden for decades—at least five decades, ideally seven or more. Thanks to Naomi Wolf, they have since been fisked, and the truth is out there. All the bad things people suspected were true, and Pfizer knew. ... Read more

Publicly Funded ‘Forum,’ …More Partisan Nonsense

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-10-23 10:00 +0000
FPF Really Means “For Progressive Favoritism” Last week, I read an article in VT Digger about Front Porch Forum, the Vermont community-based “classifieds” social media platform where one can get help finding a lost pet, advertise a lawn sale, sell that thing that’s been sitting in your basement for ten years and ‘tis the season, ...

Belichick: Patriots’ Recruiting Hurt by “Taxachusetts”

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-10-23 02:00 +0000
Massachusetts’ millionaires tax makes it harder for the New England Patriots to recruit top players, former Patriots coach Bill Belichick said on Monday. Asked about the millionaires tax on The Pat McAfee show, Belichick said, “That’s Taxachusetts. They take more from you.” Because the NFL’s high pay makes most players millionaires these days, the tax implications ... Read more

Chris Sununu: “For the average American, their lived experience is … things that they can’t afford.” 

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-10-23 00:00 +0000
New Hampshire’s retiring governor, Chris Sununu, hasn’t been on machine media much since his gal pal, Darling Nikki Haley, lost all hope of challenging Donald Trump to the Republican nomination. Water under the bridge and with it his face on the weekend political puppet shows. No loss, given that the bulk of such work is ... Read more
