Will Hunter Get The Same Speedy Action As Bannon, AG Garland?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-12-16 22:00 +0000

Steve Bannon was a member of Donald Trump’s Administration and was subpoenaed to testify before a Congressional Committee about the January 6 “Insurrection ” at the Capitol. Bannon defied the subpoena and was justly held in contempt of Congress. His case was referred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

He was subsequently charged with two counts of contempt, and his case was fast-tracked. Merrick Garland had Bannon in court in less than two months. Nothing in our court system happens in two months unless you are an Attorney General who will do anything to hurt Donald Trump or his people.

Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s only living son, was under subpoena to appear before the Oversight Committee for a closed-door deposition. The purpose was to allow Congress to examine the Biden Cartel’s financial workings and establish the President’s role in the Cartel and how much money was eventually deposited in one of Joe’s bank accounts. Hunter not only snubbed the subpoena but also went to the Capitol and taunted the Republicans. Whoever suggested doing this was a wise move is not a friend of Hunter or Joe.

Hunter was to appear on Wednesday at 9:30 AM. His first act of defiance was to arrive at the Capitol at 9:40 AM. It would be best to never be socially late for a Congressional appearance, especially as the sole witness. The next step was walking directly to the Senate side of the building to a prepared podium on the front steps. He then gave an opening statement explaining the Republican witch-hunt and the innocence of him and his Father. He went to the Senate side because the House Guards could have arrested him had he set up on the other steps. This dog and pony day was carefully choreographed.

The spot on the Senate steps needs to be reserved, and it was by Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA). That is the same Eric Swalwell who still holds a House seat after having an affair with a Chinese Spy and helped her escape the Country rather than face arrest by the FBI. Republicans want Swalwell held in contempt for him aiding Hunter Biden not to appear. Swalwell claims the Bidens are innocent, and he had to step up and keep Hunter from a miscarriage of justice. Swalwell is not the person to determine miscarriage.

Hunter Biden has exposed his guilt in interviews and books. We have porn videos of his sex and dug antics, and we have him admitting that none of his “successes” would have happened without the Biden name. Hunter Biden is a low-life individual who has been exploiting the system for years. He will hide behind his Father on the contempt charges as he hid in the White House to avoid being served by his daughter’s mother’s attorneys during his paternity suit. Hunter Biden and accountability are like oil and water. The two will never mix.

The ball is now in Merrick Garland’s court. Will he indict the President’s son as quickly as he did Steve Bannon? Will Hunter first be held accountable for his contempt and then the numerous civil and criminal charges against him? When will Joe Biden step in, protect the Cartel, and pardon his son? What political price will Joe pay if he uses the Pardon card? There are more questions than answers today, but you can feel the table tilting the other way.

So many questions. But so are the complexities of the Democrat Party. They are a conniving group with no morals but an insatiable appetite for power. The 2024 election is going to be ugly. A Republican fighting 91 charges to save his life, family, political career, and the Country, and a corrupt Democrat trying to preserve his Cartel and the millions they have realized from their immoral, unscrupulous acts. This is not what our forefathers envisioned but what the Country has become. It is appropriate this article contains 666 words.

Slippery Meet Slope: Wait Six Months to Get Health Care or … They Can Help You ‘Kill Yourself’ Next Week!

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-12-16 20:30 +0000

I think we’ve more than made the case that a government that wants you dead will deliberately advance policies that make you want to kill yourself. Like a public health apparatus that makes you wait over six months for ‘care,’ but can fast-track your “assisted” suicide.

 

According to a recently released report by the Fraser Institute, healthcare wait times in Canada have reached a record high of 27.7 weeks, the longest wait time in the survey’s 30-year history and 198 percent longer than the 1993 average of 9.3 weeks. 

“Excessively long wait times remain a defining characteristic of Canada’s health-care system,” Fraser Institute policy analyst and co-author of the report Mackenzie Moir said in a December 7 press release.  

“And they aren’t simply minor inconveniences, they can result in increased suffering for patients, lost productivity at work, a decreased quality of life, and in the worst cases, disability or death,” he added. 

 

American Socialists promoting Obama Care were forever admiring and elevating the government-run healthcare of places like Canada. But even in the heyday of hope and change, wait times in the Great White North were excessive. Canadians were (legally) crossing the border into America for procedures they could get that week rather than wait months, and in the years since, the problem north of the 49th Parallel has only gotten worse.

The solution? Expand the list of people they’ve made miserable who can ask for Medical Assistance in Dying (State Assisted Suicide).

 

In 2022, a Winnipeg woman wrote in her posthumously published obituary that she chose to die by assisted suicide after being refused the treatments she needed: “I could have had more time if I had more help.”   

 

Help they don’t want you to have so they can help you kill yourself. A death wish for its citizens mirrored in the People’s Republic of Oregon, where legislators have made medically assisted dying easier and quicker alongside legalizing drugs that reduce once productive people into basket-cases suitable for their Medically Assisted ‘Headsman.’ Arranged and advocated by a collective of progressive thinkers. Ideological descendants of eugenicists who insist there are too many people in the world, or the Netherlands or Canada, Hawaii, Oregon, or my neighbor to the left, Vermont.

They were all about a master race until Hitler took their ideas and showed them what that might look like if you wanted to expedite things.

A slight course change. Contraception, abortion on demand, and then, a few years along (wait for it) … State-managed self-death. Not to ensure the survival of a master race. No, it’s climate change, you see. It would be best if you died so that their children can live in the same engineered world imagined by the Wilsonian Eugenicists without all that off-putting holocaust imagery (they’ve been denying).

You’ll ask us. There will be soft light, soothing music, a warm blanket, surrounded by your loved ones if you’ve any left.

It’s not a coincidence. And it’s not cruel and unusual punishment. We just said that to overwhelm the prisons.

They will continue to advance policies to make you miserable until you can’t go on living because the best thing you can do for yourself, your family, your community, and your country is dying, and they will be happy to help you do it.

They want you dead. If they can do it without ovens or gas showers or lining you up and shooting you in front of a ditch filled with the peasants they killed before you, they will. And by the looks of things, populations are prepared to let them.

Housing and Zoning: HB 1291 is HB 44 on Steroids!

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-12-16 19:00 +0000

Friends, HB 1291 is not just an ordinary bill that allows Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). It is HB 44 on steroids. Here is the bill in PDF format – HB 1291 Please notice the sponsors!

It is slated to be introduced on 01/04/2024 to the “Special Committee on Housing” which is a sham since out of EIGHT members, SEVEN of them are the bill’s sponsors!!!

HB 44 is a bill we defeated last year that would have allowed neighborhoods zoned single-family to chop up their homes into 4 units provided they were on municipal sewer and water.

HB 1291 makes no such distinction so long as the septic and well can serve the square footage per the town’s ordinances.

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

This means ANY single-family neighborhood can be turned into a rental nightmare with both ADUs attached and non-attached. Usually a normal ADU is one extra unit that is allowed to be occupied by someone related to the homeowner. These multiple units would have NO restrictions as to the relationship to the homeowner.

The arguments against this are:

– There would be NO more choice to live in your once-guaranteed single-family neighborhoods
– Doesn’t guarantee ‘workforce housing’ prices since the area would automatically get higher rental rates than in a city, and thus would likely not help the housing ‘crisis’ at all
– It’s an attack on the middle class and the family

Normally a bill like this would be heard before the House’s Municipal and County Government Committee. We should demand that it be heard there, and NOT in a committee whose majority is its sponsors!!!

The bill has been requested to be heard by the normal Municipal and County Government Committee of the NH House of Representatives. We will be appealing to whichever committee ends up holding the hearing and ask you to email or write to them with your testimony also.

You can submit your testimony online here.

FBI to Charge J6 Journalist With Something (Probably) For Reporting the Wrong Story

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-12-16 17:30 +0000

Blaze Journalist Steve Baker has been notified that he must self-surrender to the FBI by next Tuesday. Baker was a reporter on the ground on January 6 (J6), and while he does not yet know what the charges are, I think we can guess.

Wrongful reporting. He appears to have made observations outside the approved narrative.

 

The left-wing Sedition Hunters compiled a rather impressive spreadsheet of all types of journalists, with designations of “Interior (Breach),” “Interior (Press Corps),” and “Restricted Grounds” assigned to 160 different “confirmed” journalists, and an additional spreadsheet tab listing 45 “unconfirmed” reporters and videographers.

When I first looked up the Sedition Hunters’ spreadsheet over a year ago, I wasn’t listed. So I contacted them and asked to be added. They didn’t respond to me directly. Instead, they blocked me from their Twitter page. A more recent search shows they added my name, along with my Locals blog link, my Twitter handle, and my Rumble page, with the “Interior (Breach)” designation under the “confirmed” tab.

 

This is not Steve’s first rodeo with the FBI. After an interview in 2021, after which he offered to share his footage with the Feds, he learned he would be charged with …racketeering and property damage. Steve went wide with the alleged charges, sending “over 200 copies of a press release notifying media organizations large and small that an independent journalist was being prosecuted for his coverage of January 6.” The  AUSA was not pleased, but Baker was never charged.

Fast forward to December 2023, and boom!

 

 

Baker is not just some blogger, so we’d expect the same media that was pissed when it learned that Barack Obama’s weaponized police state was spying on them to come to his aid. Even if he were just a blogger, the media status of citizen journalists has been set by precedent. The government nor the media gets to define what that means. And yet here we are.

The FBI plans to charge one journalist who followed a story – along with 60 other journalists – into the US Capitol. I can’t imagine this will hold up in court, and I suspect the FBI knows this. It is an intimidation campaign. Lawfare. The FBI is sending a message to independent media.

The Feds will come after you for any reason they can contrive. Bring you in for questioning and try to catch you in a lie. One way or another, the goal is the same. Silence is the only free press left out there—independent media.

And we can always use your support.

 

Please Support Independent Media – No Transaction Fees!

Shock Poll (NOT)! Vermonters Don’t Want to Pay ANYTHING for Democrats’ Climate Agenda

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-12-16 16:00 +0000

Campaign for Vermont finally asked Vermonters directly the question our elected representatives have been avoiding for years in regard to their Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) fantasies: How much are you willing to pay to support the law’s greenhouse gas reduction mandates?

Vermonters’ overwhelming answer: not a #*&% thing!

When asked, “How much a year should Vermont residents be asked to pay in increased taxes in order to meet the Paris Climate Accord’s target of being carbon-neutral?” 50 percent answered nothing at all. Another 15 percent said $10 a year or less, and 23% said between $10 and $100 a year.

Ummmm… that ain’t gonna cut it. Just the thermal sector portion of the GWSA, the Clean Heat Standard, is estimated to cost the average Vermont household over $500 a year. The transportation portion, when enacted, is likely to cost Vermont drivers in the neighborhood of $10 per fill up. Changes to the Renewable Energy Standard under discussion for next year are estimated to add tens, potentially hundreds, of millions of dollars to Vermonters’ electric bills over the next decade. And all of these estimates are conservative. Back to the poll….

The policies for how to extract this money from the populace were even more unpopular. Asked if they supported or opposed “A plan by the State Legislature to subsidize CLEAN home heating systems and weatherization improvements by imposing a surcharge or tax on carbon-based home heating fuel, such as natural gas, home heating oil, kerosene, propane, and other forms of fuel,” 63 percent of Vermonters opposed the law, a majority (52 percent) strongly so. This sentiment was reflected in the tsunami of calls and emails lawmakers received before the Clean Heat Standard bill votes last spring. But, in spite of their constituents, 120 out of 126 Democrats in the House and Senate supported and voted to override Governor Scott’s veto of the Clean Heat Standard Bill (S.5/Act 18). Every Republican, like the majority of Vermonters, opposed this carbon tax.

Something Rotten in American University’s

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-12-16 14:30 +0000

A few days ago, University Presidents of Harvard, Penn St, and MIT were brought before Congress and grilled on anti-Semitism at their schools. Under oath, they dodged, ducked, and avoided straight answers. Worst of the bunch was Penn State President Liz Magill, who reportedly smirked at the questioners.

It seems as if Liz has backtracked now, saying that killing and the holocaust are unacceptable. Could this change of heart be because the Penn State, Wharton Business School has demanded her resignation? Or perhaps because Businessman Ross Stevens, who recently gifted Penn State with $100 million, has demanded his money back, or Magill gone?

If forced out, it would be one baby step in the right direction, in my opinion. Not only should she be given the boot, but every professor, teaching graduate, and every student screaming the “From the river to the sea,” the anti-Jewish terrorist chant, needs to be introduced to the wonderful world of a McDonalds employee.

Colleges and Universities in America have been a breeding ground for anti-Semitism. This has spread down to High Schools, as seen by the arrest of a 13-year-old boy in Canton, Ohio, who laid out plans to commit a mass shooting at the Temple Israel in that city. These kids are pawns for leftist professors and administrators, which is why they must be removed from any position where they can infect their hatred to others.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, it has been reported Hamas fighters have begun surrendering. Only about 120 so far, but though that sounds like a small number, these are men sworn to fight and die for Allah. They are voicing displeasure, it’s said, with their leaders hiding in a bunker deep underground while their people are dying in large numbers in the streets above. This may be the start of the end for Hamas, in wars when small numbers begin quitting others tend to follow but we will have to wait to see if this happens.

Keep in mind nothing will change anywhere until we remove leftists from positions of power everywhere, from local town officials all the way up to the US Congress and President. MAGA, vote for Trump in 2024

School Board Member Sworn in on a Stack of Public School Kiddie Porn

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-12-16 13:00 +0000

Here’s a quick decline of the American culture update. “In Fairfax County, Virginia, during the swearing-in ceremony, school board member Karl Frisch opted for a stack of books portraying explicit content and immoral behavior.”

I guess we could say that, at the very least, he’s standing up for or behind (perhaps with his pants down) his “convictions. And I’m willing to bet that it is an oath (to the books, at least) he will actually keep.

NH Beer Caucus Announces Presidential Primary Sit Down

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-12-16 11:30 +0000

The Legislative Beer Caucus is hoping to sit down with all major presidential candidates over beers and have some serious, substantive discussions about NH PRIMARY  issues. And also have fun – starting with Chris Christie on Wednesday in Portsmouth.

FORMER NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE SLATED FOR BEER CAUCUS LEGISLATIVE FORUM AT SEA DOG BREWERY IN EXETER ON DECEMBER 20

 

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Former New Jersey Governor and current Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie will be the featured guest at a legislative forum (at the Sea Dog Brewery in Exeter) at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, December 20th.

The event marks the return of the popular “Legislative Beer Caucus Founders Happy Hour” political confab. The Beer Caucus is an informal group of several dozen current and former New Hampshire legislators who socialize and network while addressing important Granite State issues.

The “Happy Hours” were started in 2020 by the Beer Caucus Founders during the COVID pandemic as on-line zoom events allowing GOP candidates to share perspectives and positions while concurrently enjoying libations. Hundreds of voters registered to watch these interactive events where significant and substantive issues were addressed in a format that also allowed for humorous and relaxed interaction.

The four Beer Caucus Founders include District 2 State Senator Tim Lang (Chair, Senate Ways and Means Committee), District 17 State Senator Howard Pearl (Chair, Senate Committee on Executive Departments and Administration), Merrimack District 4 State Representative Mike Moffett (Chair, House Committee on State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs) and the Honorable Reed Panisiti, former House Assistant Floor Leader. The December 20th event will be a hybrid affair, meaning that this time the Happy Hour will include a live audience as well as the on-line option.

“Elected officials have long connected informally over beers to communicate and figure out how to get things done,” explained Lang. “Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill for instance. We’re excited to engage Governor Christie and are very pleased to have him find time for us.”

The Happy Hours conclude with the popular “Lightning Round” where the candidates are given a succession of “either/or” options to respond to.

To watch on-line via “Zoom” voters can go to
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83234382709?pwd=bkNsRGFqYWJ1U2RBS1JudDB5MHFCQT09
Meeting ID: 832 3438 2709, Passcode: 685611

Voters can email suggested candidate queries to timothy.lang@leg.state.nh.us.

Night Cap: DNA Kits and Associated Privacy Risks Posed by Police & Hackers

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-12-16 02:30 +0000

In advance of a holiday season that could see record numbers of ancestry kits given as gifts, The Rutherford Institute is cautioning the public about the significant privacy risks associated with corporations, government agencies, and hackers possibly gaining access to one’s familial DNA.

As the Institute’s investigative report “We’re All Suspects in a DNA Lineup, Waiting to be Matched with a Crime” explains, a DNA print reveals everything about who we are, where we come from, and who we will be. By submitting one’s DNA to a genealogical database, individuals risk the police, corporations, and hackers potentially gaining access to the genetic makeup, relationships, and health profiles of every relative—past, present, and future—in their family, whether or not they ever agreed to be part of such a database. The Institute’s warning comes in the wake of reports that hackers may have gained access to the ancestry data of 6.9 million people through one of the leading genealogical sites.

“The debate over genetic privacy—and when one’s DNA becomes a public commodity outside the protection of the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on warrantless searches and seizures—is really only beginning,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of Battlefield America: The War on the American People. “No longer can we consider ourselves innocent until proven guilty. Now we are all suspects in a DNA lineup waiting to be matched up with a crime.”

Police have used ancestry databases to solve cold cases that have remained unsolved for decades. Anyone who comes up as a possible DNA match—including distant family members—can suddenly become part of a circle of suspects that must be tracked, investigated, and ruled out. Although a number of states had forbidden police from using government databases to track family members of suspects, the genealogy websites could provide a loophole for law enforcement. For instance, in 2018, former police officer Joseph DeAngelo was flagged as the notorious “Golden State Killer” through the use of familial DNA, which allows police to match up an unknown suspect’s crime scene DNA with that of any family members in a genealogy database. Police were able to identify DeAngelo using the DNA of a distant cousin found in a public DNA database. A few states have started introducing legislation to restrict when and how police use these genealogical databases, with Maryland requiring that they can only be used for serious violent crimes such as murder and rape, only after they exhaust other investigatory methods, and only under the supervision of a judge.

Tens of millions of people have added their DNA to genealogical databases in recent years. Public, commercial DNA databases have grown so massive that they can be used to find you even if you’ve never shared your own DNA. One genealogy profile can lead to as many as 300 other people. All 50 states also maintain their own DNA databases, in addition to CODIS, the FBI’s massive DNA database. As part of the government’s mandatory genetic screening of newborns, some hospitals also take and store newborn babies’ DNA, often without their parents’ knowledge or consent.

No White Christmas In Boston This Year

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-12-16 01:00 +0000

I have wonderful, fond childhood memories of Christmastime in Boston. It was a magical place in the 60s. Driving along the city streets was a kaleidoscope of lights and colors, as was the Boston Common. The window displays at Filene’s were masterful, and we were always in awe of the Enchanted Village at Jordan Marsh.

The holiday season always ended with a trip to Boston Garden for the Ice Capades. Only now do I realize what my folks must have sacrificed to give me and my sisters those memories? Apparently, the folks in charge of Boston these days do not share my memories or spirit for the holidays. The Presidents of some of Boston’s finest colleges cannot denounce antisemitism and then dare to show up at a Minorah lighting standing next to Jewish students they fail to protect.

The Mayor of Boston, Michelle Wu, comes from a Chinese lineage and is the first Asian woman to serve on the City Council and as Beantown’s Mayor. Wu was educated at Harvard, which may explain her role in an incredibly Racist, albeit stupid, incident that happened this week at City Hall.

Related: Busted in Boston – All The Racist Wu’s Down in Wu-ville!

Wu sparked controversy after mistakenly inviting all councilors to an “electeds of color” holiday party. The invitation was erroneously sent to all council members, and when the oversight was discovered, the White council members were sent an Un-Invitation. Whites were not welcome at Michelle Wu’s party. Wu claims it was an honest mistake that the invitation was sent to all members. Talk about compounding a disastrous lack of judgment and a stupid idea to begin with.

I apologize for the second use of the term stupid, but I cannot use any of the colloquialisms of the gutter that I would like to use to describe this entire incident. No, Michelle, the mistake was not the list of invitees but the idea of an Electeds of Color Holiday Party at all. Whoever had that original thought should resign or be fired immediately, including Michelle Wu. This Whites Need Not Attend Party is one of the most offensive ideas and actions I have ever seen by a politician, and there have been many others.

It amazes me that 160 years after the Civil War, we still get mired in incidents of Racism, and when anything excludes people of any color, in this case, White, then it is Racism. In the words of our illustrious Press Secretary, Karine Jeanne-Pierre, “full stop.”

Michelle Wu should be holding up her status as the first Asian Mayor of Boston as a testament to how far the American people have come to be color-blind to Race, Sex, and Color. But not Wu. She had to play identity politics with something so joyous as a Holiday Party, use the worst card in her deck, the Race Card, and turn a party into a national embarrassment.

I was fortunate for two things early on in my life. When my family traveled South every year in the sixties and seventies, I saw first the restrooms, water bubblers, and building entrances designated for Whites and Blacks. I also saw the evolution of Civil Rights and the elimination of these designations, and the mingling of Whites and Blacks in all walks of life. I had parents who didn’t turn our heads away from social injustices but taught us why they were wrong and how we could be better people to never see the world as Black and White. I was raised to be color-blind, and unfortunately, Michele Wu did not have the benefit of the same teachings from her parents.

This has not been a good week for Boston. Mayor Wu and Harvard President Gay have shown how ungrateful they are for the opportunity afforded them by living in the greatest, most diverse country on Earth. They have set Civil Rights back decades—shame on both of these women and on anyone who condones their actions or turns away from their responsibility to hold people like them accountable. To do so is to lower the bar on what is right and wrong with humanity.

When All You Have Is a School, Everything Looks Like…

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-12-15 23:30 +0000

I’ve been participating in an email thread where the main idea is more or less that ‘special education is ruining everything’ in schools.

The craziness that has evolved around special education is certainly not helping.  But I believe the problems we’re seeing in schools are mainly the symptoms of using the wrong tool for the job.

Confucius said that the first step towards wisdom is to call things by their right names, i.e., to use the right words.

I think this is a special case of a more general idea: The first step toward success in any endeavor is to use the right tools.

School is the right tool for one well-defined task: If you have a bunch of people who (regardless of age) are ready to learn the same material (which includes intellectual readiness, behavioral readiness, and motivation), then it can be very efficient to have them synchronously share instruction in that material.

(Having said that, it used to be the case that school was where you could find the highest-quality instruction available in an area. That is no longer the case. In fact, it’s often the opposite — a kid who goes to school has access to lower-quality instruction than he could get at home, over the Internet.)

Here are some tasks for which school is not the right tool:

  • Daycare
  • Therapy
  • Nutrition
  • Transportation
  • Hobbies
  • Social development (SEL)
  • Moral and spiritual development
  • Political indoctrination (CRT, DEI)

And yet, those are the tasks where schools spend almost all their time and effort (and our money). If a school is a hammer, then what we are doing with that hammer at various times corresponds to

(1) treating everything as a nail, or

(2) assuming that if a hammer is good for driving nails, it must also be good for cutting wood, drilling holes, driving screws, grabbing items firmly, applying paint, tightening bolts, clamping items together, measuring distances and angles, and so on.

All of which is to say, by using schools to do things for which schools are not suited, we

(1) make it inevitable that we will do a terrible job at all the secondary tasks and,

(2) make it impossible to do a competent job at the primary task.

The only winners in this approach are the makers and sellers of the hammers.

But suppose we made ‘public schools’ into public schools, i.e., schools open to all members of the public, who can come to learn what’s being taught if they want to and if they are ready to.

That would free teachers to actually teach students who want to learn.  And it would allow all those other needs — like therapy — to be addressed through other more specialized, more efficient, and more competent channels — the right tools for those jobs.

The Case for Toppling Iran’s Mullahs

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-12-15 22:00 +0000

In the face of an unprecedented global challenge, our world demands a radical shift in approach. We no longer have any choice. The threats looming over humanity are no longer confined to local issues, rendering traditional practices inadequate. Now, more than ever, we must unite and leverage our collective resources to combat the complex and debilitating challenges that cast a shadow over our planet.

Our problems are not mere parochial concerns; outdated thinking won’t cut it. In this era of interconnectedness, every ounce of our energy must be directed towards solutions rather than wasted in petty disputes and personal conflicts.

But are we truly ready to acknowledge the urgency of this global call to action? Can we set aside our differences for the greater good?

The magnitude of today’s challenges is unlike anything we’ve encountered recently. Conventional solutions falter in the face of the formidably complex and unique situation that defines our world. To confront these challenges, civil disobedience alone is as futile as fighting off a pack of hungry wolves armed only with toothpicks.

We must keep asking ourselves – what innovative strategies can we employ to tackle challenges that defy conventional solutions? How can we foster a collective mindset that transcends outdated approaches?

The threat posed by the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei and his cronies cannot be underestimated. Their lack of interest in negotiation and compromise is evident as they barrel forward in their quest for nuclear weaponry, aiming to wield power and intimidate not just the region but the entire world.

Mullahs are ruling Iran with rock-solid resolve to carry out their “divine plan” of imposing their brand of Islam on the world with the help of the Bomb is a terrifying thought.

So, how can we effectively address regimes that seem impervious to diplomatic efforts? Is there room for negotiation, or is a more robust approach necessary?

The first step in addressing these issues is to acknowledge the reality of the situation. Iran’s regime has made significant advances in its nuclear program, which is a cause for concern for the international community. The country has been able to reverse engineer and further develop purchased technological advances, and its knowledge is irreversible. This means that any attempt to stop Iran’s regime from developing nuclear weapons could be futile.

When Your “Professor of Peace” Calls for the Destruction of Israel

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-12-15 20:30 +0000

Mohammad Jafer Mahallati is on indefinite administrative leave. The former UN Ambassador from Iran (1987-1989) has been implicated in his crimes against humanity, but Oberlin College hired him anyway. Now, they are paying him to do nothing.

Not that this isn’t the ideal final form of every liberal college professor, but that wasn’t the original plan. Oberlin was OK with calling a Jew-hating anti-semite their Peace Professor. Still, after Oct 7, the College is officially on the hook and under Federal Investigation after ignoring years of Jafer Mahallati praising violence and assigning “anti-Israel readings to his students.”

 

[Mohammad Jafer Mahallati’s] ouster comes in the middle of a federal investigation of antisemitism at Oberlin based on charges brought by 1986 alumna Melissa Landa, whose story we covered here. Landa is president of the Oberlin Chapter of Alums for Campus Fairness, a non-profit group that fights antisemitism at the school. She filed her complaint against Oberlin with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) back in 2019. On September 29, the OCR announced it is looking into her charges under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI).

 

I’m sure Oberlin will do what it can to avoid complicity as it is still reeling from losing the Gibson’s Bakery case in which a Dean went on a hate-fueled intifada against a local business. The defamation suit cost the College tens of millions in ‘reparations’ owed the Gibson family. This Mohammad thing has a similar woke pit of hell stench to it. The reporting suggests that complaints have been amassed over the years only to be ignored by Oberlin’s enlightened masters until now.

Their Bias response team must have ignored numerous calls from the nearest courtesy phone. Lots of calls. It seems the Professor of Peace meant peace through genocide, and hey, once your enemy is dead, there is peace, or you are dead and at peace.

Then, there is the peace of collecting your salary to do nothing while Western elites rend their garments over being labeled racists for suspending you.

Yeah. I bet it’s like that.

The Dems Dictatorial Political and Societal Leviathan

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-12-15 19:00 +0000

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch recently pointed out that, according to Woodrow Wilson, “popular sovereignty” embarrassed the Nation because it interfered with “executive expertness.” From Wilson’s distorted view, the modern Democrat Party emerged as a dictatorial political and societal Leviathan.

The Obama-Biden monstrosity used these so-called experts to transform the most historically prosperous society and civilization into a racist, perverted, communist nightmare. So-called experts under these numbskulls have transformed “common sense” into “nonsense.” Our society is experiencing a perversion of sanity to destroy Western Civilization. These demonic experts disdain the fundamental basis of Western Civilization, the family unit, and work tirelessly to destroy the fabric that holds the Nation and, more importantly, our humanity together. The three women Ivy League presidents’ failure to condemn Antisemitism is a perfect example.

These pseudo-experts expect us to believe the entire span of human history, since Adam bit into Eve’s apple, was wrong in acknowledging there are two sexes: male and female. These modern-day alchemists propound a world populated with 72 genders, including transgenderism. The only possible purpose of this malarkey is: “If we can get the hoi-poi to believe in 72 genders and instruct our minor children that, despite their birth sex, they should deny their God-given gender, people will do whatever these perverted experts say.”

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

Another principle of Obama-Biden dystopia is intersectionality: a racist and dogmatic diatribe (theory) designed and developed to divide and destroy American society and Western Civilization with jealousy, envy, and hatred based on turning races and nationalities against each other, especially against white people. Love of God and country is being replaced with hate and violent protests.

Finally, these “nonsense experts” tell us it is the gun’s fault when there is a mass shooting by a known criminal whose mental illness is well-known to local authorities. What these perverted experts want is to take away guns so they can control everyone without risk. Remember, 12 million people were murdered in Hitler’s gas chambers!

Putting Donald Trump back in the White House cannot happen soon enough!

Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-12-15 17:30 +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!

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.

 

*** Warning, a few possibly off-color ones, in case tender eyes are about ***

 

 

And a large part of their egos – their vanity – is tied up with the idea that they’re “good people” because they believe certain things.  And, thus, admitting they were wrong not only challenges their view of themselves as superior beings, but… if their beliefs are wrong, then those beliefs that prove they’re superior and moral and all could be wrong, and therefore they’re not superior or moral.

Few have the strength for that level of introspection.

Ouch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even in my atheistic days I could not – would not – every have slipped and said “My Muslim faith…” in a conversation.  Nor, as an atheist, would I nor did I ever say “My Jewish faith…”  The fact that he said that was revealing.  Also revealing was how the reporter rescued him.

 

 

 

 

In an actual science, when predictions fail, that weakens the theory.

 

 

 

 

Proving that it’s ONE rule for the proles, and ANOTHER RULE for the plebes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMHO were this any other company, this would have had pols screaming THIS IS FRAUD by now.  I have to admit admiration – when pharma buys politicians and regulators, they stay bought.  I wonder if there’s an “Or else…” clause.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Something very important to remember here.  They’ll back down… temporarily.  But then push forward again.  And you think you’re going to stop them by protesting or writing letters or voting?

Please understand, I am not advocating violence.  But I must also point out that these people are True Believers.  Like the Terminator, they will not stop, ever, until we’re Communists.

PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA

 

Multiple signs “something” is coming, and soon.  Just look at the furor over the Obama-involved coming Netflix show (setting aside the anti-white stuff).

Now, looming, are warnings about power outages:

 

Power Outages this Winter – But it’s WORSE than that – Get READY

 

 

and

 

 

Just like our “good and dear friend” Klaus predicted:

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/cyber-attacks-next.mp4

 

Like many things, I used to think that the whole idea of “predictive programming” and such were just more foil-hat nonsense.  But as the mood of the country darkens, along comes this preview… of an American civil war:

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Civil-war-predictive-programming.mp4

 

Also on my Rumble channel:

Preview: Movie of coming American Civil War (rumble.com)

And it could be a combination of things.  Cyberattack.  EMP.  Engineered false flags to create a race war, or civil war… migrants being mated up with the scads of weapons and ammo bought over the decades, particularly under Barackus – and then let loose on those who don’t obey.  They don’t even need specific orders.  Islamic terror cells already here, or Chinese cells, or Russians, or all of the above.

Pay attention to the movies that are about to come out.  Articles.  Online posts.  What’s said on the various talk shows, especially those aimed at the LIVs.  Get as prepped as you can.  Make alliances.  Things can go downhill surprisingly fast.

Remember, they want chaos, uncertainty, despair, fear, and even massive deaths.  All the better to then offer the “benevolent hand” of their one-world government socialist state as salvation.  I will not bet against finding our elections cancelled “temporarily”… and likely worse.

They Just Added Another “Flavor” at ” ‘Queer’ Baskin Robbins”

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-12-15 16:00 +0000

Is sexual attraction or the absence of it the thing that defines you? To the Cultural Marxist Gender Side-Show, Circus Tent Ring Leaders it is. And like any good self-serving cartel, the more freaks, the better. So, they’ve introduced a new “gender” defining term.

 

 The Canadian Medical Association Journal has introduced the term “greysexual” as the latest so-called “sexual orientation” invented by LGBT activists.    

According to a paper published December 4, the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Canada’s top medical association, is now recognizing people who claim to be “greysexual,” meaning they are “experiencing sexual attraction rarely or under specific circumstances.”  …

The article, co-authored by Stella A. Schneckenburger, Michelle W.Y. Tam and Lori E. Ross, introduces “greysexual” as a subsection of “asexual.” 

The report divides asexual into “demisexuality (only experiencing sexual attraction after emotional bonds form) and greysexuality (experiencing sexual attraction rarely or under specific circumstances.)”

 

Jim Henson’s earlier known work was for Sesame Street, and one of the things that resulted from that was the anything muppet. A hand puppet you could get to which you might affix any number of characteristics—different eyes, noses, etc. Once you get past LGB, everything on the social construct we call the gender spectrum is an anything muppet. Most of it is contrived minor differences in personal preference related to sexual attraction. If you applied the same thinking to food across the whole of the human experience, the DSM would be larger than the average Congressional Omnibus bill or a manual on understanding women.

Put another way, and this is critical, medical experts are parsing the gender hairs with notions like greysexual to profit from another clinical diagnosis. This might be about mental health and how clinicians can corral another group of people into therapy dollars and drug treatment kickbacks.

Why else bother? Adding another flavor to the Queer Baskin Robbins menu isn’t going to divide us further though it might divide the alphabet sex squad another angstrom or two as they fight for dominance on the victim-class totem, which seems counterproductive at this juncture. Team unity doesn’t need its gender-blended troops sniping each other into fractious disarray. Not yet.

But because this is Canada, I did have another thought. What if this new “diagnosis” will inevitably be used to recommend more people for Medical Assistance in dying?

Killer Kanada and all that.

We Defend A Border … Ukraine’s!

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-12-15 14:30 +0000

President Biden, you insult us. You stand at a podium next to President Zelenskyy and tell us all the reasons that we must continue to send Billions of dollars to Ukraine to fund their battle against Putin and the invading Russians. Mr. President, you preach to us that we must continue to spend money to preserve the sovereignty of Ukraine while you have no concern for the sovereignty of America.

Our country is in decline in every measurable parameter, and that, Joe Biden is on you. America was not only a better place under Donald Trump, but it was growing stronger every day. Under your “leadership,” America has taken two steps back for every day forward.

Zelenskyy knows who the cash cow is in the world. That is why he comes to America every few months, wearing his battlefield green uniform, to tell us that all of Europe is in jeopardy if we stop funding Ukraine and let it fall. If true, why does he not go to Europe for their cash? It is maybe because they have already seen through the smoke and mirrors. If Putin even hinted at penetrating one of the NATO countries, he would have all of NATO to contend with. Ukraine is not in NATO. That doesn’t mean we should sit back and watch Putin destroy the country, but it should not be our sole responsibility to fund their battle that cannot be won. Instead of more money, we should use our power to get Zelenskyy and Putin to a negotiating table and find a diplomatic resolution to a never-ending, winless battle. After two months, Biden is ready to walk away from Israel, but after two years of funding Ukraine, it is carry on, and Americans should shut up and keep writing the check. Damn, I hope the House stays resilient and does not free up another dime for Ukraine until Biden changes direction and ends the assault by the world on our Southern Border.

It has been evident for some time that Joe Biden had no interest in closing the Southern Border. The rate of crossings is nearly two million a year and rising. For comparison, Joe Biden has allowed more illegal aliens to enter our country than there are people in two Nebraskas. If collected into one geographic area, that area would be the 14th most populated state in the union. There is no end in sight.

To view the footage of the border crossings, don’t bother looking at any of the network broadcasts; you would be hard-pressed to find a family unit. The current flow of humanity is almost exclusively military-aged single men from all parts of the world. We do not have the human resources or data available to vet this many people. Because of those circumstances, we have no idea who has entered and is now roaming our streets. This is safety and security in Joe Biden’s America, and it should worry every American because any of these crossers could soon be our next-door neighbor. That fear has nothing to do with Race or Color, but the person’s character. We have no idea who we let in through our front door.

The illegal immigration and support of a corrupt Ukraine are but two reasons Joe Biden should not be President. Forget Impeachment. Joe Biden should be tried for treason for what he has done in three years to destroy America. Age and mental competency are the least of the concerns we should have about another term of Joe Biden’s Presidency. It is Biden’s motive that we should really examine.

Irony Alert: To Avoid DEI Ban College Renames it the “Division of People, Culture and Belonging.”

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-12-15 13:00 +0000

Like any good grift, when the time comes to move along, you change your name and start over somewhere else to stay one step ahead of the law. But a College isn’t going to just up and move its campus. It can, however, get creative with names.

 

Kent State University has embedded DEI efforts throughout its academics and programming in recent years, creating a new Division of People, Culture and Belonging and adding administrators, faculty, and projects centered around the ideology, a College Fix analysis found.

The new division, established in September, merged the Human Resources department and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion offices. The rebranding came as Buckeye State lawmakers considered legislation to ban mandatory DEI in higher education.

What’s more, Amoaba Gooden’s new title is vice president of the Division of People, Culture and Belonging, according to her faculty bio. She previously served as vice president of the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion department.

 

Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs (along with Critical Race Theory and the gender studies basket weaving classes) are Divisive, unequal, and exclusive. They foster distrust, division, and even hate. But the Campus culture is inculcated with that. A process and program, underway for decades, infused with compelled speech components that a college or university accessing public money might have to remove.

Meet the Division of People, Culture, and Belonging.

It’s got a very Maoist ring to it, so I have a few questions. Will belonging apply to all people and cultures and find its way into every office? Old college interview and acceptance rules might need to be scrapped. Anyone with a pulse should be admitted to Kent State (so they feel like they belong) without regard to their ideological or fiscal culture or quantity of belongings.

Undergraduate tuition & fees at Kent State University are $11,373 for Ohio residents and $20,287 for out-of-state students. That’s an unjust class structure abusing people because they belong to another state.

Fini! No more.

What else? Grades have to go. We’ve seen it in progressive bivouacs like Oregon. Math and reading are racist. Grading and achievement are racist. Assigning ratings of any sort makes people feel left out. Team sports? Same problem. The ‘everyone gets a trophy’ generation needs more than a trophy. They need to feel like they belong. Put them on the team and not just on a bench.

Gotta ditch Tenure. You mixed HR and DEI, and nothing says white privilege culture like tenure.

I’m sure there are other opportunities, but you get the point. Not that anyone at Kent State would ever do anything other than protect the destructive agenda of DEI in whatever form they could manage, regardless of how it might contradict the actual operation or culture.

And hey, it is named the Division of People, Culture, and Belonging. Division is in the name, and that’s what we’ll get. So, more of the same.

Election Recount Lawsuit: Paula Johnson vs. City of Nashua

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-12-15 11:30 +0000

Grok readers should already be familiar with Nashua’s own private citizen, Laurie Ortolano, who has made many watchdog contributions over the years and has a court date next week, but there’s another pro se litigant, Paula Johnson, who also had a court date.


As an elected official in multiple capacities over the years (state rep, alderman, and school board member), she might have more name recognition, but her case might not. I’ve been asked by management to say a little something about Paula’s litigation, which has potential ties to Daniel Richard‘s current Supreme Court case. More on that later.

In preparing what to say, I thought a good idea would be to reread Paula’s petition, which is the document presented to the court outlining the complaint. There are four counts to her civil complaint, and they come from a November 18 school recount. I will pause here for a moment to include a link to a montage of 8 hours of multiple camera footage assembled with the same artistic license that NESN would use for the playoffs.

And another link, which is the aggregate (non ward specific) recount numbers.

To give a condensed synopsis, there were eight candidates running for five seats.  Paula Johnson was the winner with the least number of votes and the only incumbent not affiliated with the local Ruling Class. Shewanda Daniels Williams (“SDW”), coming in only six votes behind Paula on election night, was the loser with the biggest number of votes.  The recount, requested by SDW, flipped the seat to a 7-vote loss for Paula.  So, 13 “Emergency Democrat Votes” were found to create the recount results. Interestingly, lots of numbers changed in varying degrees for all the candidates, but that’s a topic for another article. My assignment was to write about Paula’s case.

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

Complaint #1 has to do with substantive and procedural due process.  The school board is a separate and autonomous political subdivision from the City of Nashua. Article 74 of the city charter says, “the City of Nashua shall continue to constitute one school district and the school under the Nashua Charter, committee of said city, shall be ‘styled’ the Board of Education.”  City Clerk Healey, a named defendant, ignored a separate statute governing school recounts, which required recount oversight by the school board rather than the Board of Aldermen.  Also, a checklist was not provided to the plaintiff.  School Clerk Lamphier, another named defendant, was not present for the recount as required of her.

Complaint #2 has to do with ballot storage and chain of custody.  I will pause again here for a moment to share a video of Attorney Bolton, corporation counsel, lashing out at the plaintiff.

 

!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u359331"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");

Rumble("play", {"video":"v3w3hoa","div":"rumble_v3w3hoa"});

 

The video is almost 6 minutes long, but the last 2 minutes are of most interest. Paula is seen asserting herself to her right to inspect things and Attorney Bolton has a meltdown.  Let’s just say that there were similar procedural shenanigans to what Mr Bean(of the seacoast, not the UK) complained to SoS Scanlan about during Lou Gargiulo’s senate recount last year.(boxes taped differently and labeled differently)

Complaint #3 has to do with the Equal Protection Clause.  City elections are supposed to be nonpartisan, and the plaintiff and her supporters were denied the opportunity for adequate cross-checking and observation during the recount process. There were numerous violations of this. They included but were not limited to, assigning the counting and recording to members of the Ruling Class and their minions.

I cited several examples of this in a long email to Senator Gray, the Election Law Committee chair, requesting a bill that moves city recounts to the archives.*  Sadly, he seemed significantly less interested in submitting a late senate bill to clean up election operations than the House Criminal Justice Committee chair was when it came to gun background checks exploiting two recent tragedies. Disappointing. However, being the engineer that he is, he did inquire about the data regarding the change in numbers for each candidate and wanted to see the ward-specific numbers, which seemingly nobody has been able to get their hands on!

Complaint #4 has to do with the handling of absentee ballots. Remember my reference to the Daniel Richard case in the beginning?  This complaint has his oral argument talking points of adjudication, verification, and processing of absentee ballots. Anyone seeking further details can refer to his case.

There’s plenty of opportunity for semi-related sidebar articles, follow-up articles, and other editorials.  Paula’s court date was to be Monday, December 18, the same day as Laurie Ortolano’s case against the City. When Paula received that date over two weeks ago, Laurie’s had already been on the calendar for quite some time. Furthermore, Judge Temple has allotted Laurie 3 days for her case. One does not need a law degree to have noticed the dates overlap immediately, but Attorney Bolton waited until just a few days ago to file a Motion to Continue. That’s a request to reschedule in non-legalspeak. Naturally, Judge Temple granted Attorney Bolton’s request, as he usually does, and a new date has not yet been chosen. Stay tuned, especially because swearing-in day is coming up soon, and Paula’s plan included a “motion to expedite” as the matter is time-sensitive.

And if you have already booked a vacation day or scheduled a sitter or whatever personal arrangement to make yourself available to attend, all is not lost. Laurie Ortolano could use some support by way of filling the bleachers. A summary of her case can be found here.

Night Cap: No One Is Stopping You From Having Sex and Reproducing

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-12-15 04:00 +0000

Last week, one of the Legislative Service Requests (LSR) I sponsored received an actual House Bill number 1248, and boy, did it cause a squabble. Yes, it is a save-the-baby bill that limits abortions to 15 days. Dave Testerman is the sponsor and the cosponsors are myself and Senator Gendreau.

The Democrats took no time attacking how “the MAGA majority (it sucks if you’re not a Trump supporter because the democrats just lumped you all into the Trump majority) is going to new extremes in their radical agenda to take away reproductive freedoms” (this, of course, is a lie, no one is taking away anyone’s reproductive freedoms, no one is stopping you from having sex and reproducing).

Here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia “The female reproductive system has two functions: The first is to produce egg cells, and the second is to protect and nourish the offspring until birth.” Do you see the natural laws we live under? The reproductive system is there to protect and nourish the offspring until birth. Just like gravity, if we jump, we fall. Just because we have the know-how to kill our offspring does not mean that should be the norm.

We want to thank John Sellers for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

This bill had President Biden and many news outlets talking about it. I have to say, when you get the president, news outlets, and the democratic party’s attention, you know they are running scared and sending a message to all their minions.

What did we hear from the NHGOP, the national GOP, or presidential candidates running for office???? Crickets, not a peep. They all lost their chance to show how extreme that most Democrats want unlimited abortions.

Here’s the real issue: morals. Do we have any morals left in NH? Do we know right from wrong anymore? Do we cherish life over death? Why kill an innocent baby who has done nothing wrong? The man and woman made a choice to reproduce, and that is on them, not the baby. The people don’t want women getting abortions at six months, six months!

Let’s fight the lies and deception that have been sold to us over the years. Abortion is killing an innocent human life; a baby’s life starts at conception; we can’t arbitrarily make up when life starts. There is no excuse; we scientifically know when life starts. The sex, color of the hair, eye, and skin, how tall or short, and other characteristics of the baby have been determined at conception. It is beyond shameful we need an anti-abortion bill to stop killing innocent lives.
