The Corn Ethanol and Water Pollution Boondoggle

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 15:00 +0000

Climate change activists increasingly target agriculture as a primary source of greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Too often, this translates into condemnation of gentle cows or the pleasures of meat-eating instead of drawing attention to proper farming practices and land management. This is especially true with respect to water use and the ethanol industry.

Water in Agriculture

American agriculture has continued to be dominated by ever-larger farms and producers, increasing productivity and economic growth and amplifying vital water resources’ drawdowns. This is apparent in water-precious regions such as Arizona and California, but also includes Idaho’s exploding dairy industry and Arkansas’ astoundingly productive poultry economy.

Growing alfalfa for cows (or for export to China), and corn and soy for chickens, requires substantial amounts of water in addition to what is used for the animals themselves. Corn and soy require chemical applications that erode soils and contribute to water pollution. The larger the scale of operations, the more significant the environmental impacts – especially on water resources.

Food Versus Ethanol

Voices calling to curtail carnivorous dining are howling up the wrong cornstalk: Reassessing the impacts of ethanol production and livestock management methodology would leave the American palate intact. These are problems not of animal pollution but of animal husbandry and sensible land management.

The United States leads the world in biofuel production. Of the 92 million American acres planted to corn in 2023, approximately 40% will be processed into ethanol to meet subsidized mandates in Americans’ fuel blends. Ethanol incentives have pushed up corn prices but also encouraged farmers to reduce lands used in (carbon-sequestering) conservation programs and expand corn cropping to less desirable soils and slopes. The combined effect is to make ethanol production a much less attractive environmental alternative than has been presented.

Corn Ethanol Is Environmentally Destructive

Corn is a particularly soil-draining crop. Most corn is now genetically modified for resistance to widely sprayed glyphosate, and the endocrine-disrupting herbicide atrazine is still used in its production. Neonicotinoids reputed to threaten bees and other wildlife are also standard tools in corn farming.

This makes fuels derived from corn dubious environmental saviors. One five-year study concluded in 2022 that corn ethanol led to at least 24% more emissions than gasoline:

“Our analyses show a modest change in the use of US agricultural land for crop production due to the RFS [Renewable Fuel Standards], which led to sizable increases in associated environmental impacts including nitrate leaching, phosphorus runoff, and soil erosion. While improvements in production efficiency have likely reduced the carbon intensity of corn ethanol since inception of the RFS, the previously underestimated emissions from US land conversion attributable to the policy are enough to fully negate or even reverse any GHG advantages of the fuel relative to gasoline. … [O]ur findings confirm that contemporary corn ethanol production is unlikely to contribute to climate change mitigation.”

Instead of forcing Americans to give up hamburgers, the reversal of the boondoggle ethanol program would free up some 36.8 million acres of land from corn cropping, eliminating the application of tons of chemicals and preserving vital water supplies. Liberating cows from confinement feed operations into rotational grazing on some of those formerly corn-sown lands would restore depleted soils, sequester carbon, and convert grasses to milk, cheese, and T-bones.

Biden’s Love of Ethanol
Instead, the Biden administration has favorably expanded ethanol use. In April 2022, the President extended the availability of higher biofuel blends to offset nosebleed gasoline prices. Reuters reported:

“The decision represents a win for the U.S. corn lobby by likely expanding demand for corn-based ethanol and a setback for oil refiners, which view ethanol as competition….

“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and sanctions and boycotts that followed launched retail gasoline prices to record highs, a vulnerability for Biden’s fellow Democrats in November’s congressional elections.”

Then, in June 2023, the USDA announced “plans to invest up to $500 million from President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act to increase the availability of domestic biofuels and give Americans additional cleaner fuel options at the pump.” Much of the announced funding is directed to ethanol production and distribution facilities. Notwithstanding the substantial environmental degradation inflicted by 36.8 million acres of industrially grown corn, the USDA claims this is “Through the Inflation Reduction Act, the Administration is delivering on its promise to fight climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across America.”

Inflating gasoline prices through sloppy monetary policy and oil-stifling regulations and then faux-reducing them with ethanol is as useless as subsidizing polluting corn and calling it “clean energy.” This reflects a perversion of policy priorities, quickly remedied by reversing well-intentioned but ultimately counterproductive ethanol production. Taking tens of millions of acres out of corn cropping for ethanol would save a lot of water.

House Speaker Forms Special Committee on COVID Response Efficacy

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 14:00 +0000

Concord, NH: Today, House Speaker Sherman Packard (R-Londonderry) announced the formation of the Special Committee on COVID Response Efficacy:

The bipartisan committee is tasked with investigating and evaluating the State’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee will function in a science-based, fact-finding review, specifically acquiring comprehensive, accurate data and all related information pertaining thereto.

Areas of particular focus will include the administration of Federal guidance, acceptance of Federal Funds, and implementation of Emergency Use Authorization vaccination efforts. A report will be issued outlining the committee’s findings and the impact on New Hampshire citizens.

Rep. Barbara Comtois of Barnstead will serve as chair of the Special Committee.

Pursuant to House Rule 29, the committee will be comprised of an equal number of Democratic and Republican members, reflecting the nearly even partisan make-up of the House.

“A large number of House members indicated interest in having the legislature take a look at this subject matter and asked me to form this Special Committee. This process should help us understand more about the state’s response during the pandemic and help us shape public policy to better prepare us for future emergency response efforts,” Packard said.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Also Transitions You … To a Higher Risk of Cancer

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 13:00 +0000

The gender-bending trend comes with side effects that might be more troubling than being convinced by your government therapist (school teachers) that you are not your birth sex. Death, for example.

In the study, people with gender dysphoria who had ever used hormone replacements saw nearly seven times the risk of ischemic stroke (a blockage in a vessel supplying blood to the brain), nearly six times the risk of ST elevation myocardial infarction (the most serious type of heart attack) and nearly five times the risk of pulmonary embolism (a blockage in an artery in the lung), compared with people with gender dysphoria who had never used hormone replacements.

There are tens of thousands of reported unintended effects, many severe or permanent, like chemical castration, and now the American Cancer Society – which apparently can’t find any data to sift after 2020, which is not at all suspicious – was able to report that,

Is the fact that women don’t have a prostate a factor in the reduced risk among transmen? I’m no scientist, but I’d have to think it was, but the risk of cancers is still higher.

I’m sure Biden’s Ministry of Fairness is working on a way to blame straight white Christian men, which won’t be difficult. While whitey has higher rates of new cancer, he is (slightly) less likely to die of it than his black brother – though that’s likely to change. Minorities were smart enough to embrace vaccine hesitancy in more significant numbers in recent (COVID) years. While experts are baffled by the sudden rise in turbo cancers that the American Cancer Society can’t seem to report (still not suspicious), they are out there.

The other bit in that pull quote from the not-at-all right-wing American Cancer Institute is the increased risk of breast cancer among lesbian and bisexual women “due to higher prevalence risk factors, including fewer childbirth, higher alcohol use, and excess weight.” That’s their science, not mine. Lifestyle choices matter, and those add to the likelihood of cancer.

Without saying it, this also suggests that abortion may increase the risk of breast cancer among heterosexual women – assuming childbirth leads to breastfeeding, which is also under attack but has been known for years to coincide with reduced breast cancer risk. That’s good to know in case any Transwomen want to reduce their hormone-therapy-increased risk of breast cancer by trying to chest-feed.

Or something.

Nikki Haley is George Bush in a Dress

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 11:00 +0000

Nikki “Read My Lips” Haley! Where have we heard this before? And Nikki is financed by the same elitist money that paid Old Man Bush to say that, and, based on Nikki’s prior political history, we will suffer the same result if she is ever given the keys to the White House.

Nikki has always been for something before she is against it, and vice versa. Let’s see why Nikki cannot be trusted:

In the presence of Chris Sununu, Nikki says: “The structure (of the primary) is really amusing. Iowa starts it. YOU CHANGE PERSONALTIES, then you go into New Hampshire.”

In 2021, Nikki vowed not to step in the way if Trump ran for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Nikki was opposed to President Trump’s building of a border wall in 2016. Nikki also supports amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens who broke the law to enter the U.S.

Apparently, Nikki reneged on her promise not to oppose Trump because of the Wall Street mega-donors, including billionaire investors Stanley Druckenmiller, Eric Levine, Terry Kassel, and Annie Dickerson. Even Democrat Jamie Dimon is reportedly considering Nikki (see Financial Times article by Alex Rogers and Brooke Masters, dated 11/ 16/ 2023). This explains the endless nauseating TV ad attacks New Hampshire has been subjected to.

Nikki promised no new taxes to win the South Carolina governorship and then pulled a George Herbert Walker Bush.

Nikki even made her husband change his name from Bill to Mike

Nikki’s personality is Doctor Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde. We never know which Nikki will show up. Further, her campaign promises to melt like a shooting star entering Earth’s atmosphere or ride away into the universe on the aptly named “ Haley’s Comet.”

Please join Rand Paul in being “ Never Nikki.”

Night Cap: If They Can Get Pregnant Maybe They Are Not Really ‘Boys’

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 03:00 +0000

This is fun and self-fulfilling if by “self” you mean the government, and by “fulfilling,” you mean creating problems with taxpayer dollars you then claim can be solved with the loose change left on the Cambriole or between the cushions of daddy’s Chesterfield.

That’s the entire Democrat party platform, right there. Use our money to break shit, then take more not to fix it. The finders’ fees are out of this world and perrenial. You could make a career out of this sort of money laundering and live well long before you retire. Wait, that’s Congress!

And look what they did or (maybe) didn’t stop.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is awarding nearly $700,000 taxpayer dollars to back pregnancy prevention programs for young girls who identify as boys, warning that “heteronormative” sexual education is inadequate.

The $698,736 grant, which began in September 2023 and will continue until June 2027, according to government disclosures, will be allocated to the Center for Innovative Public Health Research, a non-profit that seeks to create “an inclusive teen pregnancy program for transgender boys.”

Boys can’t get pregnant, but girls pretending to be boys can – which is sort of a spoiler alert if you take my meaning. It also means that girls pretending to be unicorns, or x-gendered space aliens, conifers, your second cousin’s stuffed Pikachu, or telephone poles can get pregnant, too. It’s quite the list of spoiler alerts. Try as you might, a rose by any other name… The list of possibilities is – and I use this word with care – literally endless. But there’s no recurring revenue stream in admitting as much  – not nearly as much.

So, they created a mental health crisis with the help of the trillions of dollars siphoned through Democrat party recruiting clinics doing business as public schools. No time for math or literacy but plenty of time for mind-f**kery, which might explain the recent fascination with schools asking to be recognized as health clinics – or legislators asking that for them. How about doggie daycares or cat cafes – word has it that some schools have litterboxes, so your little darlings can pretend to be cats. You pay 20,000- a year for that so it must be legit.

Most school systems represent about 70% of a town’s budget, yet you cannot teach children to read something other than porn. It is a wonder why anyone would trust you with their children’s mental and physical health ( they want in school clinics, don’t you know). Who can imagine how much more that will cost with the very reasonable assumption that the results will be the same as with reading and math. And one might guess we’d already done all of that, and if you looked up from your phone for a few minutes, you’d see they have or soon will.

Whatever or whenever these preordained (planned!) failures demand another line item in the ledger of things upon which we’ll be taxing our great-grandchildren’s not-yet-realized earnings. If you were born with a vagina but are convinced that it makes you a boy (you decide who the fools are in that equation), extra precaution is necessary to instruct these “boys” on where to get an abortion.

It is, after all, always about abortion.

If you are a boy with a vagina and you let a boy with a penis use it as a masturbation aid (or a girl with a penis, for that matter), you might get pregnant. If you’d rather not be that, here are some resources to relieve you of the clump of cells – which we’d not have to do if you’d just had the much more expensive surgery that was suggested. But you can’t just say that. They are spending about 700 million dollars to create “Messaging [that] will be gender-affirming” and will “reduce internalized transphobia,” the award description adds.

“Look, you’ve still got a vagina and all the responsibility that comes with it,” but you’re a boy, and we still want to profit off any unwanted pregnancy, but we’ve made your mind so fragile (at the Democrat party recruiting clinics doing business as public schools – and maybe TikTok and Tmblr) that we can’t say it like that, which seems odd to me. If it is a revealed truth that a biological being with a vagina can be a boy and that you are a bigot if you refuse to accept that, then where’s the fire? We’re erasing distinctions. Boy and girl are the new Aloha.

Aloha (/əˈloʊhɑː/ ə-LOH-hah, Hawaiian: [əˈlohə]) is the Hawaiian word for love, affection, peace, compassion, and mercy, which is commonly used as a greeting. It has a deeper cultural and spiritual significance to native Hawaiians, for whom the term is used to define a force that holds together existence.

Hello, goodbye, is that a banana in your pocket, miss?

If the label has many meanings or none at all, then the underlying structure (and if you’ve got a penis, you have a lot of responsibility too, especially in divorce court) the problem isn’t inclusion in the progressive sense. It is inclusion in the biological sense, and we used to have words for that.

Boy. Girl. Man. Woman.

If you’ve stayed with me, you likely have discovered a great way we could save our great-grandchildren trillions of dollars.

Dear Kim Jong Un, Happy 40th birthday! Happy New Year! Are you on Facebook?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 01:00 +0000

I’ve been meaning to thank you for introducing the word “Dotard” into our vernacular. Having never heard the word before, I now find that it has so many applications.

How about our new President Joe-tard? He takes himself off the New Hampshire primary ballot. Next, he sends out instructions on how to write him in, saying our future is on the line with this vote. So why make it hard to vote for him? What a Joe-tard!

You were right about Donald, the original Dotard, too. He and Joetard tag-teamed to spend many trillions of dollars on COVID response – to combat a disease that was not very serious.

Is COVID not that serious? When asked, at Governor Sununu’s 4/29/21 press conference, about who was dying from COVID. Dr. Beth Daly of New Hampshire’s Health and Human Services Department told us:

“I think the first question you wanted to know about who the people are, in terms of age and medical comorbidity. And all of the deaths, except for one or maybe two, have — are either 65-and-older or have underlying medical conditions.”

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

There were more than 1300 dead with COVID in New Hampshire when she spoke. Dr. Daly basically told us they were mostly dying from other causes. It is hard to understand why the government, media, and educational institutions were so gung-ho to coerce healthy people and pregnant women to be injected with an experimental vaccine.

President Kim, if you wish to strengthen your own authoritarianism in North Korea, you should study our CIA and its grip on our mainstream media.

There’s a third dotard, the worst of all, Anthony Fauci, Toney Baloney. Totard helped censor reasonably cheap medicines, like protocols with hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, that were curing people all during 2020. Instead, Totard and Dotard tag-teamed to inflict more than 70% of us with the COVID experimental vaccine. Later, long after the COVID experimental vaccine was known to do more harm than good, Joetard mandated that healthcare workers and those employed by government contractors be injected with this bioweapon. By the way, Totard spent millions of US tax dollars helping fund a Chinese bio-war lab’s COVID research.

There are two recent independent studies on the results of COVID vaccination. One, based on data from 17 countries, found that one in 800 COVID vaccine recipients died from a COVID shot. The other, based on data from five countries, conservatively found one in 1000 died from COVID shots. Both studies found no compensating benefits. One in 800 means 17 million died worldwide from the shots; 1 in 1000 means more than 13 million died. Neither study accounts for long-term effects and illnesses yet to be discovered nor the costs of the many non-fatal adverse effects of these shots.

Back in the USA, insurance companies that insure employed individuals (one of our healthiest demographics) report a 40% increase in death and disabilities during 2021, the year that many of the employed were coerced into taking the COVID jabs (10% is two-sigma, i.e., very unlikely). About half the increase were COVID-related deaths.

None of the three, Dotard, Totard, and Joetard, have admitted wrongdoing nor apologized. Dotard is right about Nikki Haley, though. She is a throwback to the authoritarianism and militarism of the Bush Crime Family ($6 trillion spent on failing war efforts, the patriot Act, TSA…).

Anyway, have a great year. If you are ever in Keene, NH, please say hello.

Our library has the book Cause Unknown by Ed Dowd, a great 90-minute read. Another great book is Turtles All the Way Down Vaccine Science and Myth (first Chapter is all you need). Our library also has the movie VAXXED, don’t miss it! It explains how government agencies and capitalist corporations cooperate to lie to the public, punish whistleblowers, poison the public, and falsify health-related research.

In case you are interested, I’ll be voting for Robert F Kennedy Jr or Governor DeSantis who both acted heroically and in the interest of the public in their responses to COVID. Unlike the Dotard, Governor DeSantis was competent, reduced Florida’s debt, and wasn’t disloyal to his wife and kids.

P.S. I’ve also summarized three years of New Hampshire COVID death data from NH state records (below).

Please pay particular attention to the bottom line, showing that the proportion of citizens dying with COVID under age 70 tripled when the COVID experimental vaccine was made available to them and coerced. Please feel free to call with questions, there’s much more to share: 603 354 3380 mrzvyp@aol.com

Where JP Morgan Catches up to The ‘Grok on the 2024 Election

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 23:00 +0000

We’ve been saying it for months. Biden will likely have the Democrat party nomination handed to him, but not long after, he will have to drop out. Would that make this the third consecutive DNC primary fraud – where the party lets voters think they are choosing their candidate? It’s probably more than three, but I digress.

I’m still surprised they didn’t kill him in 2020 and claim he died of COVID, replacing him with a younger champion of the Party’s Public Health INdustrial Omplex Laundromat. Talk about earned COVID tyranny media. But that didn’t happen. Instead, they crammed the ballot boxes and pushed his barely functioning carcass into the Oval Office. A meat puppet is always more desirable than someone who might try to do what they want. And you’d be right to wonder why that might not apply in 2024.

Weekend at Bernie’s.

They can’t keep this up much longer. They are likely holding their breath, hoping Biden makes it to the DNC Klan Bake to grab another nomination. I’m sure it’s a huge concern. But he’s done; we’ve been calling it for months, and some analyst at JP Morgan came out last week and said the same thing.

In the financial service company’s lengthy “Eye on the Market: Outlook 2024” report, Michael Cembalest, chairman of market and investment strategy for J.P. Morgan Asset & Wealth Management, listed 10 “surprises” for the year.

One of them is that Biden will withdraw from the presidential race for “health reasons sometime between Super Tuesday and the November election.”

Super Tuesday — when 16 states hold their primaries — is March 5 this year, while the general election is eight months later on Nov. 5.

Cembalest suggested the party’s nomination would be passed to a “replacement candidate named by the Democratic National Committee.”

It’s not a difficult prognostication to make. The DNC has been picking its candidates for years. Democrats aren’t excited about Biden. The decline is more evident than ever. He’s incapable of doing any job, let alone pretending to be America’s chief executive. Lucky for him, he just has to show up and read his lines, but this trained chimp has aged out, and they need a new monkey.

Pete Buttigieg isn’t that chimp, nor is Amy Klobuchar or Liz Warren. Most of the 2020 primary field that was not Biden isn’t on anyone’s radar, which is hilarious. That may not stop them from lobbying for the gig or winning the blue ring.

I’d love to see some Vegas odds on Biden’s replacement – everything else about the election does. I couldn’t find any, but the list of possible replacements centers on Democrat Governors like Newsom, Whitmer, Pritzker, Cooper, and Murphy.

Kamala is a no-go; she’s less popular than Biden. And no mention of Michelle Obama, though her name keeps popping up in the dreams of Machine Media stenographers.

I am sticking to my guns on that. Michelle Hates DC. She loves the attention, fame, money, and vacations but not the environment or the work. She has no reason to give up four years of a millionaire’s life for that, and I think it’s because she lacks the convictions that drive someone like Trump. He’s willing to give up a comfortable retirement to help working-class Americans. Michelle will pander to them for an inflated speaking fee.

So, it is anyone’s guess, and I’ll keep looking for the Vegas odds – those folks are good at this sort of thing, but between the convention and November, it has become accepted wisdom that Biden will not be on the Presidential Ticket, which means Harris likely won’t either – ditching Biden is the best way to ditch her and they want to lose her more than him.

Give us your guess as to who will replace them in the chat or why if you disagree.

King Arthur Baking Company Could Do So Much More

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 21:00 +0000

King Arthur Baking Company launched a new accelerator program to champion bakers and entrepreneurs of color, which made some news. Why not do one for short chefs? They could do one for female chefs, they could do one for young chefs, and they could do one for chefs from low-income areas.

As a private company, King Arthur’s Flour can do as they please … except doing one for white chefs and saying that. Again, as a free country, I believe a company can sell cakes to whomever they want and offer classes to whomever they want. I am not sure if I would boycott or not. Moot point since I use generic label flour.

I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and always wanted to be a Hippie. My internal struggle is real.

My response to reparations of any kind is “Show me one person who was a slave in this country, then I will pay.”

Related: King Arthur Flour Promotes Bakers of Color (No Whites), and I’m Having a Hard Time Getting Bent About That

I have done well in life, as far as I am concerned, and try on occasion to help the less fortunate. Just don’t force me to pay for stuff that I do not believe is deserved. If a charity or program is worth investing in to help people, I believe people will invest in it.

Racism is Racism, the are no distinctions. But I still have a little of that hippie singing Kum ba yah in me.

I say let capitalism and the free market rule. If enough people stop using King Arthur’s, that will tell the tale. It’s the same as Bud Light, Netflix, Disney, and the rest of them. When a baker does not want to put something on a cake that is offensive to them, I stand with them, and if I need a baked good, I would go there. But there was also a business in Maine owned by an LGBT couple, and some neighbors were giving them grief. From what I have read, I would go to their business in a heartbeat to support them.

Why Shouldn’t You Trust the Government?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 19:00 +0000

Most of you know any number of reasons, dozens, scores, innumerable, perhaps for distrusting the government, and it grows almost daily. You know enough, and we don’t want to turn off first-time readers – or relatively new lurkers – with the fire hose. No, this ‘Why’ is one why, but it’s a big one with lots of tentacles.

The US Department of Injustice has admitted something that most of us knew to be true thirty-six months ago. But it took them over three years to get here from there, at least publicly, and only after being dragged kicking and screaming. It’s just one colossal example of why you can’t trust the government, especially when a Democrat election or re-election is on the line. They lie, deflect, scheme, accuse, smear, and, since this is relevant, interfere in elections.

The Hunter Biden Laptop. There’s no better resource on everything Bidne Laptop than Marco Polo, and if you’ve never been, you must! They show you what’s on the Laptop that would have ended Biden’s handlers’ presidential aspirations (Biden aspires to ice cream, violating personal space, and naps). I’d have included sexual assault, but he may no longer have the capacity for such things beyond creeping sniffing.

We’ve shared some of the Laptop’s intrigues, and if you are interested, Marco Polo also has Ashley Biden’s diary (scanned and transposed, you pick), complete with the creepy shower entry. All old news, denied by most, if not everyone on the left, and ignored by the so-called journalist classes with their heads up their asses when they weren’t carrying deep state swamp water. It was all true. The Laptop is legit. And 39 months later, the DOJ has admitted it to crickets and cobwebs from the same. The Media

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has acknowledged the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop data for the first time in a new court filing.

In a Tuesday court filing from DOJ prosecutors, which came in response to Biden’s request to have his federal firearm charges dismissed, investigators acknowledge the legitimacy of data found on Biden’s laptop prior to the 2020 election. The court filings described how IRS and FBI investigators had obtained a search warrant for tax violations on Biden, leading them to “various” backup data accounts.

The documents additionally note that investigators later came into “possession” of the laptop that Biden had previously “left at a computer store,” emphasizing that investigators had “already obtained” a large portion of the data from Apple.

Machine Media fact-checkers will have some scrubbing to do—deep cleaning, therapy, and a bit of self-realization (have you tried goat yoga?). The IRS and the FBI had already executed a warrant with Apple to access all of Hunter’s Laptop’s backup data in the cloud a year before the “laptop” was exposed and promptly identified by other government actors as Russian Disinformation.

Related: Reminder: The Hunter Biden Laptop Cover-Up Was a Classic American Disinformation Campaign

Put another way, many of the people who hated Biden but hated Trump more knew the Laptop and its contents were legitimate long before it became public. Information that must have been shared with “the Left” sort of people. Deep State partisan interests would have been briefed, and contingencies prepared in the event of the Laptop’s secrets making a public appearance.

And so they did, Laptop and all. And the FBI buried it where it stayed until the repair shop owner – and his handy backup – took it to the New York Post.

Then they lied, but that’s not all they did. They lied, interfered in an election, and then conspired with Big Tech to censor anyone who tried to share or debate this actual truth. You can still find the lies with a simple search – Hunter Biden Laptop. There are too many to scrub, but I’m sure they’ll give it to the old Journalism school try.

Rachel Madcow, by the way, continues to pontificate about Republicans leaning toward fascism. Trump wins Iowa, Evangelical white Christians, what else could it be, but dare I ask, what is this, Rachel?

We have a coordinated propaganda campaign to hide the truth. Just like the Steele Dossier, dozens of fake scandals, nearly everything you told us about COVID was a lie, and all the things you claimed were lies – were true! All in deference to an increasingly meddling, oppressive, and censorious State – under Hunter’s Dad. The guy who “won” partly because of a coordinated disinformation campaign of which you, Ms. Madcow, were a part.

People on the right want to be left alone. People on the left can’t do that and want everyone else to leave whatever truth they present alone, but they lie constantly. Their rank and file repeat the lies, and everyone suffers except the ruling class.

And that is one of many reasons we can’t trust the government or the media. And Rachel, some of your media buddies are saying Biden “won” in mostly white, Christian, Iowa.

Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 17:00 +0000

To all those who are sending in memes, thank you!  Keep them coming please, as it helps me gather weaponry to fight the Left.  Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!

TGIF!

Speaking of, from this week, Monday Edition and Wednesday Edition.  Also check out my latest Israel-focused meme & commentary post if this is a subject of interest to you.

Profound.  Seen here.

 

 

Mass arrests.  Sounds an awful lot like the USSR under Stalin, no?

 

 

In this case it’s Israel.  But regardless of the topic, and regardless of the “mainstream media” outlet, they always seem to err in one direction only.  They understand, very well, that most people are lazy, will not attempt to check multiple news sources, and will not “do their own research” on anything.

 

 

 

 

 

“Give us the House” the GOP said.  So we did.  And nothing happened.  “Give us the Senate too” the GOP said.  So we did.  And nothing happened.  “Give us the White House too” the GOP said.  So we did.  And something did happen… they fought Trump and MAGA and rolling back the Left tooth and nail.

If, by some miracle, there IS an election and Trump DOES win, I expect the GOP to fold completely and just become an auxiliary “me too” to the Dems.

 

 

 

 

 

That plus billions of rounds of ammo.

A vote for Nikki is, IMHO, a vote for more of The Potato.  Just with a female skin, and a couple of meaningless bones thrown to the Right.

 

 

 

 

 

I repeat my prediction.  If, by some anti-miracle, the GOP Elites + the Left (political and enemedia) somehow manage to drag her across the nomination finish line, I predict:

  1. There will be much celebration in the enemedia about how – having nominated a recent-descendant woman of color – the GOP has “matured and moved into the 21st century”.  Yada yada.
  2. The GOP Elites will say that we need to put aside our partisan differences and unite behind this historic candidate (not like they’d do that if it were Trump, but…)
  3. Within 48 hours after that the lawsuits will start – from the Left – attempting to disqualify her for precisely this reason.

 

 

 

BACKSTABBER Nikki Haley won’t tell you who is behind some of her biggest donations (barenakedislam.com)

MHO, which I’ve said before… the enemedia will ally with the Left (even more than normal) and the GOP Establishment/NeverTrumpers to try and drag her across the nomination line.  There will be enormous exulting for about 48 hours about how the Republicans have “grown and matured and modernized”.  And then the lawsuits over her not being a natural born citizen will start.  Assuming those succeed, the Right will be thrown into chaos with, likely, some other RINO figurehead – who will be anathema to actual Conservatives – put up as a fill-in.

Why do you think they changed it to “Climate Change”?  So that, no matter what actually happens, they can always say TOLD YOU!  Scientific predictions have to be specific; that the below image is now the reality is one reason I no longer am a climate alarmist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes and no.  It’s an open secret that Iran wants the bomb.  The question is not whether they want it, it’s what they’ll do with them when they get them.  Yes, Israel is a high-probability target… but the Iranians have openly discussed taking America down with an EMP, having practiced launching rockets from ships in the Caspian Sea and declaring the test a success when the rocket gets to 90-100 miles up – perfect EMP altitude.  And in general, you must remember – as I keep repeating – that in Shiite Islam their messiah can’t come until there’s a global war.  WWIII, to a believing Shiite, is not a bug but a feature.  (And now, possibly, things are heating up with Pakistan…)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am certainly no expert in Arab culture, but this is a slap.  And, to Arabs, America’s non-response to that is seen as a sign of weakness.

The ever-meddlesome Biden now wants new powers to reassign or simply nationalize patent licenses if his pests decide that these items are not marketed quickly or cheaply enough.

What this would do is both get people to drop federal grant applications (maybe not a bad thing) but also to possibly stop innovating and creating.

Our FITN Matters: From Reagan to Haley

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 15:00 +0000

It seemed Ronald Reagan’s political career was over in early 1980. Despite Gerald Ford having wrested the 1976 GOP nomination from him, Reagan gave the presidency one last try in 1980 at age 69—which Democrats said was too old. (Irony alert.)

Then George H.W. Bush trounced Reagan in the Iowa Caucuses. Reagan’s political obituary was published across the land.

Then came the First-in-the-Nation New Hampshire Primary.

A memorable Nashua debate made history. Reagan won N.H. in a landslide. Everything changed. Reagan would win two landslide presidential elections while turning our economy around and winning the Cold War. No wonder Reagan said, “God Bless New Hampshire.”

It seemed George H.W. Bush was politically dead in 1988 after also being trounced in the Iowa Caucus, finishing third behind Bob Dole and Pat Roberston. Bush came to N.H. and plaintively pleaded with Granite Staters for help.

“If you come through for me, then when I get to Washington, you’ll hear me say ‘Thank You New Hampshire’ forever.”

With Governor John Sununu’s crucial assistance, Bush won New Hampshire and then the presidency and kept his promise to forever thank New Hampshire.

It seemed Bill Clinton was politically dead in 1992 when the first of his major sex scandals broke, after he’d received 3% of the Iowa Caucus vote. Clinton came to New Hampshire to plead for help, like Reagan and Bush before him, telling a crowd in Dover that if Granite Staters gave him a chance, “I’ll be there for you until the last dog dies.”

Clinton’s strong FITN finish allowed him to proclaim himself “The Comeback Kid” and he went on to easily win two presidential elections.

And so it goes. New Hampshire shapes presidential races like no other state.

Which brings us to 2024. A clear majority of horrified Americans dread the prospect of a Biden-Trump rematch. Can’t we do better? But it seems like we’re locked into that terrible scenario.

Unless New Hampshire voters step up as they have in the past to point things in a better direction.

For Republicans that means voting for Nikki Haley. I completely agree with Haley supporter Chris Sununu that “We have a country to save.”

I followed FITN developments intently for many months before finally becoming the first State Representative to endorse Haley at the end of October. I won’t repeat the powerful case for her here. Fair and thoughtful voters have until Jan. 23rd to conduct their due diligence and hopefully figure it out.

My endorsement resulted in threats, but that’s okay. I’ve been in harm’s way before, from the Persian Gulf to Afghanistan.  Trumpers tell me I’m “being watched” and that I’ll “pay a price.” I feel like Dr. Zhivago in that classic movie when a communist Russian commissar informed him that “Your attitude is noticed. Oh yes, it’s been noticed!”

Welcome to Trump-World, 2024. Why so many Granite Staters pledge allegiance to this reprobate will always be a mystery to me.  History will eventually judge, and historians can be unsparing critics. Why do Trump’s supporters want to follow him over a cliff and drag the country over the cliff as well? Who is Donald Trump? He’s draft dodger who reviled the memory of true heroes like John McCain, as well as wounded veterans that he didn’t want in his parades because they were a “bad look.”  He’s a swindler who’s already been found guilty in a $370 million civil lawsuit for numerous acts of fraud and misrepresentation. He’s a faux dealmaker who’s filed for bankruptcy at least four times. He’s currently dealing with 91 felony criminal indictments in four jurisdictions. He’s someone who demands loyalty but doesn’t give it, whether to his loyal vice-president, to supporters who endorse him, or to his three wives, the latest of which was notably absent from the family Christmas photo. He’s a liar whom a Washington Post fact-checker charged with 30,573 specific false or misleading claims over his benighted presidency. He’s a misogynist who bragged about grabbing women by the p****. He’s an inciter who sat by and watched on television while thousands of supporters, brandishing Trump and Confederate flags, wreaked death and destruction on our beloved United States Capitol. And yet thousands of Granite Staters uncritically support this failing 77-year-old, pathetically waiting for hours to cheer him on at an Atkinson Country Club on Tuesday. They had to wait extra-long because he was delayed en route to New Hampshire from Iowa because he had to stop at a New York City courthouse for a defamation trial appearance involving a woman that a different jury earlier found him guilty of sexually assaulting. But his supporters love and emulate his never-apologize, in-your-face antics. It’s heartbreaking to witness. Will we ever again have a president who is an inspiring role model who appeals to our better angels instead of a divisive demagogue who incites our lesser angels? That could happen if on January 23 if New Hampshire’s GOP Primary voters correct the misbegotten choice that Iowa GOP voters made on January 15. It’s happened before.

On the Dem side, another classic movie comes to mind—the film featuring college fraternity pledges being paddled.

Okay, it was Animal House.

The pledges’ rite of passage required them to bend over to be swatted by fraternity leaders, whom we can liken to the Democrat “establishment.” I keep picturing Joe Biden wielding a paddle on bent-over N.H. Dems who respond as the movie pledges did when spanked: “Thank you, Sir. May I have another one, Sir?”

It’s pathetic to see N.H. establishment Dems trying to get voters to write in Biden’s name on a ballot he disdained. The better that Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips does on the Dem side, the better it is for the future of our FITN primary.

We’ll soon see if New Hampshire can save the country from a Biden-Trump redux. Not only does the future of our FITN require us to step up and redirect things, but more importantly, the future of our country demands it. History shows that informed New Hampshire voters can step up to change our world. It’s happened before.

Just ask Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush, or Bill Clinton.

Ten Years Ago, Vermont Said Is Was Going to Do Something About Overdose Deaths and it Did – They’ve Quadrupled

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 13:00 +0000

A decade past, then-Governor Peter Shumlin, overwhelmed by the Obama open-borders-driven opioid crisis, promised to implement a plan to address this rising scourge. No, he didn’t demand Obama close the border and stop the drugs pouring in. He did what Democrats always do.

He used it as an excuse to grow the government and rob taxpayers. [From an NPR interview dated Jan 9th]

ELDER-CONNORS: Shumlin, a Democrat, pitched lawmakers on a multipoint plan largely focused on expanding the state’s recovery centers and increasing access to addiction treatment. Ten years later, Vermont has largely implemented Shumlin’s plan and, by some measures, made progress. South Burlington resident Jess Kirby, who first took opiates as a teenager, says she got on a list for methadone in 2006 and waited for two years.

JESS KIRBY: You had to call every month and make your case, basically, on a voicemail that, hey, I’m still here. I’m calling. I still need treatment – please keep me on the list type of thing. And if you didn’t call, then you would get put back to the bottom of the list.

ELDER-CONNORS: The state has since expanded its treatment system and largely eliminated waiting lists. There are nearly 12,000 Vermonters currently in treatment, about double the number in 2014. But Kirby and other recovery workers say progress in Vermont and the rest of the country has stalled, largely due to more powerful drugs, pandemic isolation and a rise in homelessness. Former Governor Peter Shumlin, in an interview last week, said he doesn’t think public policy in Vermont has kept up.

NPR shares some personal stories that, while relevant, do not address the actual problem, and the facts that NPR shares make that clear.

– A decade after Vermont announced an effort to address the state’s opioid epidemic, fatal overdoses have quadrupled, and the crisis is more visible because more people are living on the streets. Liam Elder-Connors with Vermont Public has this report.

-The number of fatal overdoses in Vermont has skyrocketed, driven by the rise of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that’s essentially replaced heroin. The dramatic spike in overdoses led Burlington, Vermont’s largest city, to launch a new team of paramedics who exclusively respond to overdoses.

Vermont is an open-border sanctuary refuge for illegals, cartels, and drugs, and according to at least one commenter on VermontGrok, everyone knows where the drugs are. Vermont did school closings, lockdowns, and quarantines. Their defund-the-police banter resulted in fewer law enforcement officers and a culture where cops were targets, not partners in crime prevention.

The state’s Democrat majority has focused on creating mental health issues, encouraging economic decline and homelessness, and supporting a policy that allows more drugs into the country and the state while hamstringing law enforcement.

The cure isn’t more clinics, therpaists, helplines, or Narcan vending machines. None of those things will prevent drugs from getting to people who are downtrodden as a result of wrongheaded political priorities. And while we applaud the successes of those who have benefitted from the programs, the net result of all that time and money is a quadrupling of overdose deaths.

Gov. Peter Shumlin’s decade-old state of the state did get one thing right. “Frankly, what we’ve done, in my view – and the tragedy is – we’ve accepted this as sort of part of life as opposed to attacking it with everything that we have. And I think we’ve got to get back to focusing on – this is not acceptable.” The irony is that Schumlin’s exhortation is correct, but you won’t solve it unless the focus shifts to a Vermont run by someone other than Democrats. And not just the next election but every election.

The root cause of this decline is Democrat policy and Democrat rule, and you need only look at places Democrats have controlled for Decades to see where your state is going.

Today might look dreadful, but ten years from now, this will look like the good old days.

Chris Sun-King Sununu is Not The Only Prominent Democrat Backing Nikki Haley

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 11:00 +0000

Real Republicans in New Hampshire have maintained their abusive relationship * Sun-King Chris Sununu being the abuser – for far too long. They justify taking the abuse with, “he’s the lesser of two evils,” or “but he’s good on taxes and guns.” Really?

The most onerous tax in New Hampshire is the local property tax, and Sununu has done NOTHING on that front. Instead, Sun-King and his ilk hide behind the cliche that “it’s local control.” Yeah, right. “Local control” is secondary to eviscerating local zoning laws (turning New Hampshire into a State of renters (Democrats), not homeowners), yet local control is primary to a cap on local property taxes (to protect taxpayers from the left-wing lunatics that control most school boards). And if you believe that …

It’s well past time to call Sununu what he is: A DEMOCRAT. A heretic on a couple of issues … business taxes and the Second Amendment … but a Democrat nonetheless.

Perhaps the most unassailable proof that the Sun-King is a Democrat is his support of Nikki Haley, whose major donors include prominent Democrat money people. Nikki is Joe Biden in high heels, which is why the Sun King is “all in” for her.

NH House USA-Israel Relations Caucus Responds to Former Executive Counselor Volinski’s Effort to Attack Israel Via Primary Ballots

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 09:00 +0000

(Concord, New Hampshire – January 18, 2024) — Former Executive Council Andru Volinsky has initiated a campaign to have Granite State Democrats write in “Ceasefire” instead of President Biden’s name on the primary ballot on January 23rd.

We, members of the NH House USA-Israel Relations Caucus, a bipartisan caucus of currently seated Representatives to the NH General Court, condemn these divisive and inappropriate tactics.

It’s hard to know where to start voicing how wholly inappropriate these actions taken by Volinsky are. Do we now advocate using our voice at the ballot box to express our views on foreign policy? Are we to relinquish our right to vote for our candidate of choice to make a political statement? New Hampshire holds its First in the Nation primary elections in accordance with upholding our constitutional duties, which is a serious responsibility and commitment. We should also not ignore the unnecessary burden this kind of tactic would place upon the town clerks and volunteer poll-workers throughout the state.

Please Submit Group communications or Press Releases to steve@granitegrok.com.
Submission is not a guarantee of publication – Publication is not an endorsement.

Nowhere in this campaign did Volinsky mention the unspeakable horrors committed by Hamas in executing over 1200 Israelis and taking hostage 240 civilians, many of whom were women and children.

Recent evidence has revealed that Hamas had constructed a much more extensive tunnel system beneath Gaza from which to launch their campaign of terror against the citizens of Israel than Israeli intelligence estimated, spanning hundreds of miles. As Israel had always asserted, these tunnels were constructed under hospitals and schools as a means of creating human shields. Until Israel destroys these tunnels and eradicates Hamas, the people of Israel will never be secure.

We don’t believe there is anyone with a beating heart who does not want to protect the innocent victims of Gaza. It is heartbreaking to see what is happening to an entire population, 47% of whom are children. However, hijacking the ballot to direct foreign policy is a dangerous, inappropriate, and slippery slope.

Respectfully,
The New Hampshire House USA-Israel Relations Caucus

Granite State Considers Adopting Gold and Silver As Legal Tender

The Liberty Block - Fri, 2024-01-19 07:57 +0000

As such, many people have been inclined to get rid of our dollars and hold our savings in more stable forms of money, such as gold and silver. Many people who are concerned for their families’ financial wellbeing would love to see this bill passed into law. Astute people hold a large portion of the wealth in the form of gold and silver. Especially in New Hampshire, an ever-increasing number of establishments are accepting gold and silver as payment. But we do need to pay taxes to the state and local governments. Currently, the government only accepts dollars.

Night Cap: The World’s Greatest “Pickpocket”

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 03:00 +0000

Booker T. Washington provides an accurate description of the dangerous nature of lies.  “A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right, and evil doesn’t become good, just because it’s accepted by the majority.

On January 9th, I was reminded of Washington’s insightful observation after my email to the NH House Banking and Commerce Committee to support the intent of HB 1232 to prohibit the government from using central bank digital fiat currency. One member of the Committee, the Honorable Cary Spier, answered my words of distrust of digital currency with the accusation that she was: “. ..afraid you are getting your information from conspiracy theories rather than from the real-world facts.”

I do not doubt her sincerity, but a one-sided promotion of digital currency support is contrary to the purpose of representative government. Such representation is shallow research. Cary Spier simply parrots deeply planted historical propaganda that has shielded the American people from the truth about the Federal Reserve (FED) since Congress tragically voted for it in 1913. Today, any information contrary to the packaged generational lies about the Federal Reserve are responded to in the same way Pavlov’s dogs reacted to “condition response”. Orwell’s Ministry of Truth is alive and well in the establishment media. For a thorough understanding of the Federal Reserve, I suggest readers read the true history of the Federal Reserve in the book Creature from Jekyll by G. Edward Griffin.

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

In my letter, I essentially described the FED as an “inflation machine” that has enabled congressional unconstitutional deficit spending to be covered by FED printing press fiat dollars that are now created with a click of the computer. Each click increases the money supply, creating inflation. John Maynard Keynes said, “(B)y a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method, they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily, and while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some…. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction and does it in a manner that not one man in a million can diagnose.”

The track record of the FED reveals that it has become a powerful governmental pickpocket; each week reaching deeper into your pocket. The same year the FED passed, Congress also passed the unconstitutional 16th Amendment. The income of perhaps trillions of payroll checks has taxed American productivity since then. Adding insult to injury, in the same year, Congress also created Tax-Free Foundations to allow the super-rich to circumvent the tax system, leaving the main burden of the income tax on the middle class. In 1980, I participated in a campaign called “NO TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT,” when the debt was 987 billion. Now, 43 years later, the debt is racing past 34 trillion. Truth, the most powerful weapon in the world to stand against this economic tyranny, needs your action.

Our federal Congress has an addiction to spending other people’s money. They won’t stop unless you stop them. At the State level, do your homework at RebuildNH.com, contact the Banking and Commerce Committee, and urge them to support H.B. 1232.

Visit the State website to email the Committee. At the Federal level, visit to learn the facts about H.R. 1122 to stop digital currency. We, the people, need friends in Washington to put handcuffs on history’s greatest pickpocket.

Closing the GOP Primary

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 01:00 +0000

If the GOP wants to have a closed primary, it doesn’t need permission from the Secretary of State to do that.  It doesn’t have to alter what happens at polling places run by the state.

All it has to do is print up and collect its own ballots, which is what it should have been doing all along.

This isn’t rocket science.  The party just needs to station a couple of Republicans outside at each polling place.  They should have a list of Republicans for that location who were registered by October 6 or some other deadline.  If a Republican shows up, he can come over to them and show some kind of ID.  If he’s on the list, they can give him a ballot and check him off the list.  He can mark his choices and hand the ballot back.  Then, the ballots can be collected and counted at the end of the day, and the tallies communicated to party leaders to announce.

(If the weather is awful, an alternate plan could be to have someone outside the polling place let GOP members know that they can cast their ballots at a local Dunkin’ Donuts or some other indoor location.  To streamline the process, the party could allow Republicans to download their ballots and have them pre-marked when they show up.  Verify your membership, drop your ballot in the box, and be on your way.)

And whatever the state is doing inside the building can be ignored.   That is, independents and Democrats can express their preferences to the state about who they think should be the candidate of a party to which they don’t belong.  But those preferences would be given all the weight they deserve, which is none at all.

Would this be a perfect system?

No, but it’s a little late in the game to be worrying about that.  Next time, with more lead time (and without a chairman who actively tries to undermine party integrity), they can improve the process.

Would this be better than a state-run primary, which encourages non-Republicans to undermine the ability of the GOP to choose the candidate that best represents its values?

Of course, it would.  And it’s completely within reach.  But they have to start now.
