Edipeel is a produce coating that will extend the shelf-life of some fruits and vegetables. It is made by a US company called Apeel (Apeel.com). Someone decided to associate it with a Material Safety Data Sheet for a product called APEEL, made by a UK cleaning product company called Evans Vanodine.

It took me less than two minutes to determine that the APEEL Safety Cleaning Product data sheet came from a completely different company for a distinctly different product with an entirely unrelated application.

Any exhortations and hyperbolic rantings to avoid Apeel labeled produce at all costs as a result of that datasheet are misleading, misguided, and just wrong.

For general product details for the food coating, Edipeel, please look here.

 

 

Apeel’s Edipeel is a thin, edible postharvest coating made from plant-derived materials that extends the shelf-life of fresh fruits and vegetables by slowing moisture loss and reducing oxidation. ..

Apeel’s Edipeel is composed entirely of a mixture of food grade glycerolipids derived from edible plant oils, specifically the food additive mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, which conform to the specifications set forth by the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), and the European Union.

 

To be clear, I am not saying that Edipeel is safe because the FDA or any other regulatory agency approves it. Or just because it is approved for use in Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, and South Africa,.. and in the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Many of those nations convinced millions of citizens that the COVID Vaxx poison was safe and effective.

What I am saying is that the internet coughs up a lot of sh!t, and no one is immune, but sometimes things really are too absurd to be true.

For the record, I  know very little about Apeel.com’s Edipeel, except that it is not used as a neutral hard surface cleaner made by Evans Vanodine. It may yet prove some sinister plot by globalists to shrink the size and effectiveness of transwomen’s testes or to inflame their girly little prostate. I have no idea. It might just be a useful plant-based food covering that will one day double at keeping the insects fresh so you can poison yourself with chitin.

That’s not my point today, so feel free to avoid it, but please do us a favor. If you see the APEEL cleaner data sheet presented as the fruit-coating in your virtual travels, link to this piece (or anything similar) so we can prevent anyone else from doing that of which we are so often wrongly accused. Spreading misinformation.

Thanks!

The state of Florida is making waves in public education. Last year they told public schools to stop sexualizing kindergarten through third-grade students. Beginning next month, that prohibition expands to 12th grade.

 

Last month, the Florida Board of Education released a proposed rule to expand the new standards, which would modify Florida schools’ “principles of professional conduct” to ban lessons on gender and sexual identity in all grade levels starting at kindergarten, while in grades 4-12, such lessons would be banned unless “expressly required” by Florida academic standards or as part of a class on reproductive health, in which case parents could chose to pull their children from a class. …

The expanded rule is the latest move in DeSantis’s ongoing efforts to follow through on the promises he made in his second inaugural address to continue getting ideological proselytization out of education and more thoroughly making Florida the place “where woke goes to die.”

 

The radicals will no doubt try to continue sexualizing other people’s kids, which ought to begin and end with parents calling lawyers to meet with school officials to explain why they shouldn’t sue them. Be sure to include the sexually explicit books with copies of local or state obscenity codes.

If you as an adult feel you or your employees must talk to other people’s children about sex, perhaps a little pre-trial discovery is in order. And that’s not anti-gay. It is equity. Muslims, Jews, and Christians are effectively forbidden from inculcating students at public schools with their worldviews about coupling and human sexuality. But it is something parents can discuss at home when they feel the child is ready. Equality demands equal access or its absence.

Besides, if you want your kids reading books about casual underage sex, rape, incest, sodomy, child-adult sex, or anything else, that’s your call, but be prepared. It might result in an anonymous call to child and family services. That sort of behavior borders on or is defined in law as illegal sexual and mental abuse of a child. This begs the question, why is it acceptable for another adult to do the same thing and for an entire political party to defend it?

DeSantis and the Florida legislature get that.

Public education suffers not so much from mission creep as mission failure. What is supposed to be an opportunity to build a foundation for learning math, reading, writing, history, science, civics, and debate has been perverted. Public ed, at its best, has become a laundromat that turns tax dollars into left-wing union activism. At its worst, a partisan political indoctrination center with a new grooming attachment.

If you have paid any attention to Sun-King Sununu’s look-at-me, look-at-me, everybody-look-at-me Presidential campaign, you know it consists virtually exclusively of attacking real Republicans for holding populist positions and claiming that the GOP must adopt Sununu’s brand of Republicanism … corporatism and embracing woke … to “win.” Well faux-Republican Sun-King has been joined by faux-Republican Chris Christie, the donut swilling Fat-Man from New Jersey, in taking the side of the groomers at Disney against Governor DeSantis.

From NH-NeverTrump Journal:

And from Politico:

“That’s not the guy I want sitting across from President Xi [Jinping] … or sitting across from [President Vladimir] Putin and trying to resolve what’s happening in Ukraine, if you can’t see around a corner [Disney CEO] Bob Iger created for you,” Christie said Tuesday during a livestreamed interview with Semafor, adding: “I don’t think Ron DeSantis is a conservative, based on his actions towards Disney.”

Yeah! Yeah! Real conservatives support grooming! Go have another two-dozen donuts, Fat-Man. It’s almost as if the Sun-King and the Fat-Man are competing for Dylan Mulvaney’s endorsement.

For years, self-proclaimed experts have told us that medical misinformation is one of the greatest threats to public health. And it is. The Public Health Industrial Complex did great harm, and CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has just (unintentionally) given you a shout-out before Congress.

 

Due to “an evolution of science,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky now admits vaccinated individuals can, in fact, transmit COVID to others pic.twitter.com/qBptBjeXzT

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 19, 2023

 

You were saying this – what – 12+ months before the director of the CDC and the public health establishment? And you tried to tell people what we could see before us. But “experts” like Rochelle Walensky, CNN, your State Department of Public Health, and any number of petulant liberty-denying political lackeys called you anti-vaccine or a science denier.

You were the threat, you passportless, unvaccinated, maskless menace.

Not so.

Your ‘science’ was the real science, so feel free to send Rochelle a thank you note, tweet, card, or whatever you think feels appropriate (no threats or violence, we are not the Left).

 

Thank You, Dr. Walensky, but the science didn’t evolve. Twenty months ago, we shared some science that explained it, as did many others. But it is refreshing to hear someone in a position such as yours admit this in your own way. Is there any chance you are prepared to come clean on masks, distancing, lockdowns, the death by hospital ventilator protocol, the public health war on Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, or the lack of safety and effectiveness not just of the now no-longer-EUA-approved monovalent mRNA inoculations but the equally useless and dangerous bivalents?

We don’t mind waiting, but every day you wait puts the community at risk.

 

That might be too much science for her to evolve on such short notice. Maybe say thanks for the “vaccinated can transmit” admission and take the win, small as it is. Then ask why we’re relying on bivalents that are no better– or has she marked her calendar to evolve that science in August of 2025?

Dear House Education Committee, I attended the public hearing for SB 272. As you know, people threw around examples of why SB 272 is good and why it’s bad.

The story that impressed and chilled me the most was the one where teachers encouraged a child who was questioning her sexuality (a pretty normal thing for a teenager) to be trans. And when the parent got wind of it, the teachers were silent. It is heartwarming to know that the parents took the child out of school and helped her figure it out naturally. Not all parents know they have this option.

The stories about abusive families were meant to scare you. I have to ask how they define abusive if 35% of families are considered to be abusive. Is yelling at a child abusive? Getting mad at them? I have no idea, and expect that since the government is defining it that it’s too broad. We all know of families who have had their children taken away from them for no good reason.

The vast majority of families are not abusive, and this bill covers the case for those few families who are. The government is not the parent of children, nor should it be.

Anyone who votes against SB 272 supports teachers encouraging children to be trans AND keeping that information from the parents. Teachers can barely teach children to read (just take a look at the test scores), and now they’re untrained therapists? It’s a scary world when this is okay.

Please vote OTP on SB 272.

On April 28, 2006, to remember the sacrifice of those Airmen and Marines who gave their lives at Desert One, the painful effort to rescue the 52 American hostages in Iran, more than 100 Airmen, dressed in flight suits, battle dress uniforms, and chemical warfare suits gathered at the Hurlburt Field, FL, the HQ of the 8th Special Operations Command, for a formal ceremony of honor.

“In April 1980, President Jimmy Carter sent the Army’s Delta Force to bring back fifty-three American citizens held hostage in Iran. Everything went wrong. The fireball in the Iranian desert took the Carter presidency with it,” said Mark Bowden in The Atlantic. Amen, Mark.

President Jimmy Carter ordered the U.S. military to attempt a rescue mission – known as Operation Eagle Claw – using the aircraft carriers USS Nimitz CVN-68 and the USS Coral Sea CV-43, which were patrolling in the waters off Iran.

The failed attempt on April 24, 1980, resulted in the death of one Iranian civilian and the deaths of eight American servicemen after one of the Sea King helicopters, said not to have been equipped with the needed dust filters on their engine intakes, caused a loss of power on take-off, crashed into a C-130 four-engine transport aircraft, immolating those aboard in a colossal military and political fireball. U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance resigned his position following this abject military failure adding to the out-of-control fire engulfing the benighted Carter Administration, where a US president and an Annapolis-trained nuclear engineer were prone to micromanage operations.

A close friend and former CIA operator wrote me today, “Sad and humiliating beyond belief, JB, and totally unnecessary. It was the hardest thing for me to witness, the failed raid in 1980 (‘Desert One’) to free our Tehran Embassy diplomats being held, hostage. That included having to watch on TV the ‘Hanging Ayatollah’ desecrate in the courtyard of our embassy the remains of an Air Force pilot, Capt Lyn McIntosh. That, for me, was the lowest point, even lower than 9-11.” I agree with my collegiate classmate’s assessment.

Today, Jimmy Carter is said to slipping away from this life wherein he will be glorified for his failures. Like today’s seemingly feckless president, Joe Biden, his administration was noted for gaffes of the very sort the foregoing describes and with similar ongoing and consistently grim economic news, from autos lined up hours before gas stations opened because of our then failure to remain an oil and coal exporting country to the unheard of interest costs so high that numerous states had to change their laws governing usury.

The reason that my chum and I were trading emails earlier today was that the blog, America First Report, published the tally* on the items President Joe Biden abandoned in Afghanistan when he suddenly, without any of the micromanaging which characterized Jimmy Carter, demanded an immediate withdrawal as in “right now.” It was a pull-out so poorly planned and so haphazardly executed that the following was left for the Taliban and the other terrorists who eventually seized this entire nation in record time in our vehicles and began imposing their despotic will.

The scale and scope of this abandonment, to say nothing of the inability of the units involved in this wholesale “run for it”, that there seems to be no accurate count of the American citizens and the allies whom Biden abandoned and who may still be wandering the Afghan mountains.

Unlike the pull out from South Vietnam, where lines of Vietnamese friends waited patiently in line on the steps at the Saigon US Embassy to board helicopters which were quickly pushed overboard when their missions were completed, Biden ordered a “mad mad rush for the big oak doors” (from an apt line in Jan & Dean’s ‘Little Old Lady from Pasadena’) was a cross between an irresponsible and heedless gaffe and a chaotic and ineffectual abandonment. So quickly did we run that we allowed thousands of complete and utter strangers to be sent to our homes in America ahead of our own citizens and employees?

While the Carter “Desert One” debacle cost a presidency and Cyrus Vance’s job, think for a few moments about the stockpiles of all manner of weapons, commo gear and munitions left in the warehouses and revetments in the “Graveyard of Empires”, the AFG, Afghanistan.

At some unannounced time in the near future, the Taliban, most likely in cahoots with the terror-loving and blood-soaked mullahs of Iran, will pull off some type of a major and deadly caper, as we termed most major undertakings when I was in. Their ability to hack the DOD with our latest electronics, thanks to the gear we left on the shelves, combined with their new ability to listen in to our military communications, will be brought into a sharp diamond-like focus when the dreaded patè hits the big electric fan sometimes coming up.

Today, replete with an arsenal larger than that possessed by many countries, the idea that these weapons left for the Taliban to drive, and fly, which they are doing in order to toss the troubled out of a helo door from a thousand feet, launch and fire should not surprise us when they are turned on us as they inevitably will be.

Sometime soon, when we least expect it and while Joe Biden is “busily” working from home, chocolate chip ice cream piled in a tub on his lap, his presidency, unlike that of Jimmy Carter’s, may be consumed in a fireball of his very own making, and where his cheerleaders in the media and in the Democrat Party quip that Biden is our martial Julius Caesar. And Caesar’s “Gallic Wars,” which I read in my Latin II class, would’ve turned out far different had Sulla bequeathed Vercingetorix with what Joe Biden has given the Taliban.

The leading fops and blow-hards in the new woke Biden Pentagon, JCS Chief, and Princeton educated General Milley prominent among them, should’ve taken Cyrus Vance’s well-traveled road out of town when they were confronted with the easily recognized horrors to come when Biden said: “outta there tonight!” Instead of playing at armchair generalship, running war games against Lesotho, and chatting with their pals in Beijing, they could have demonstrated a bit of moral backbone and left the field to those who value country more than self.

Joe Biden has many programmed catchphrases that he pulls out as needed. These phrases are designed to attract maximum media attention and rile up the Democrat lemmings who still believe Joe Biden is an effective Chief Executive. Biden also uses these phrases so he does not have to think on the fly. Thinking equates to gaffes in Biden’s world. One of Biden’s most popular phrases that he pulls out often is, “this is not your Father’s GOP. This is the MAGA-GOP.” Using this as an argument allows Biden not to debate an issue on the facts. He calls all Republicans, MAGA Republicans, and then drops the microphone.

In one way, he is correct. My father’s GOP, he actually was a Massachusetts Democrat, was thought to be the Party of the rich and big business. It was the Party of the white rich and famous. Over the last fifty years, the party identities changed completely. Some think they have flipped. Not all Republicans are MAGA, as that denotes Right Wing extremists. The Republican Party is now the champion of the middle class and curator of rights, freedoms, and the Constitution. The GOP has gained tremendous support from the Black and Brown communities that used to be automatic votes for Democrats. Remember the famous Biden line from 2020, ” If you are not voting for me, then you ain’t Black.” It was an insensitive line showing the assumption that the Black and Brown voters would never vote GOP. It is a lazy and wrong assumption.

I contend the Democrat Party is not my Father’s or President John F. Kennedy’s. If JFK were alive today, he would align more with the GOP.

Let’s define today’s Democrats. If you voted for Joe Biden, do you align with these characteristics? Biden does.

1. Right to Choose- a woman should have the right to terminate her pregnancy up to the moment of birth.
2. A fetus that survives a pregnancy does not need to be kept alive.
3. Our Sovereignty is no longer necessary, and Borders are not required.
4. Any person who crosses our Border and into our country has the right to stay here in the name of asylum.
5. Illegal immigrants deserve a path to citizenship.
6. Illegal immigrants have a right to vote in the city and state they reside.
7. Illegal immigrants are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
8. Illegal immigrants are eligible for free community college
9. Police need to be defunded, and policing needs to be realigned
10. Bail needs to be eliminated as it is racist and a burden to the poor
11. The voting age should be lowered to 16
12. IDs should never be required to vote
13. Vote harvesting is a legal means of collecting votes.
14. Parents have little or no say in their child’s education.
15. Gender counseling belongs in all levels of public education
16. Children should be taken from parents who oppose gender reassignment.
17. Critical Race Theory should be taught in elementary grades.
18. The Supreme Court should be expanded beyond nine justices.
19. Transgender women should compete against biological women in all levels of athletics.
20. Gas-powered automobiles, trucks, and appliances should be banned

That is just 20 of the most radical views of today’s Democrat Party. Our heritage as a free country is eroding. The FBI is inserting itself into the Catholic Church, and the EPA is working to convert every appliance we own to energy-saving devices or make them illegal. The Constitution no longer guides Democrats as they try to control every aspect of our lives. 

Before you try to defend Biden and bash Trump or DeSantis, read through this list and decide which side of the aisle better represents your beliefs or desires. I think you may change your mind-I certainly hope and pray so.

TRADING WITH THE ENEMY

The Ukraine government, headed by Volodymyr Zelensky, has been using American taxpayers’ funds to pay dearly for the vitally needed diesel fuel that is keeping the Ukrainian army on the move in its war with Russia. It is unknown how much the Zelensky government is paying per gallon for the fuel, but the Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline from a port in Pakistan, via truck or parachute, into Afghanistan during the decades-long American war there.

As stated at the link.  Explain it to me in small words.  To me, the only explanation that makes any sense is that this is all a set-up to create a white-man meat grinder.  From the same site (link in the quoted original text):

Why is no one concerned that several NATO countries have soldiers on the ground in Ukraine? This is cause for Russia to attack these nations which would then implement an Article 5 response. Instead of concentrating on the man who released this information, can we focus on the information that gives Russia the legal ability to counterattack the United States and start a nuclear conflagration?

The Secret History of Microsoft

This is interesting.  Somehow Microsoft, with its perpetual vulnerabilities, etc., becomes the ultra-dominant software.  Just as Amazon somehow becomes the overwhelming Goliath.  How?  Over the last year or so I’ve been starting to ponder on things like this…

Anheuser-Busch Throws Bud Light Exec Under Bus as Losses Mount: ‘No One at Senior Level Was Aware This Was Happening’

This is not credible or believable.  A major directional shift in marketing strategy HAS TO BE approved by the highest levels.  It has to be.  Never mind what I see as staggering ego to think that such a move is required on the basis of one person’s say-so.  Even having artwork commissioned for a special-run can has to go through multiple people.

The picture is broader.  Consider the drag queen story hours, or other degeneracy that’s happening including child-pr0n books in school libraries.  Or some of the “body positive” TV shows being shown in Europe.  For example: UK: TV Show Exposing Children to Naked Adults Sees Broadcast Regulator Inundated With Complaints.

Someone has to conceive the idea… and then think it’s a good enough idea to pitch it.  Someone has to receive that pitch, agree, and move it up the food chain actively lobbying for support all the way.  Someone has to make the final call to give it the green light.  Someone has to budget for these things, to recruit performers or others to participate.  Parents of kids have to assent to let their kids participate.

The cast of characters in all these things coming to fruition is legion, and it brings to mind a phrase from – I want to say – Vox Day (IIRC), to wit:

SJWs don’t want to make a profit, they want to make a difference.

And it suddenly occurred to me that SJWs rise to the actual definition of parasite, albeit an intellectual rather than physical one: an entity that enters and then co-opts an organization and leverages that organization’s resources to further its own ends.  Thus they drive their own ideological reproduction by infesting and taking over otherwise-viable entities, diverting that entity’s financial and creative resources to push the spreading of that which they, not the entity, find appealing.

Tell me, how is that not ideological parasitism?

So here is one of the “leaders” of the NewHampshire House GOP … Ross Berry, who is the Chairman of two committees … whining about the Democrats’ LIES. In other words, he is playing DEFENSE. That’s what losers do … they are always on the back foot, explaining, complaining: that’s not true, that’s not fair, that’s not cricket, stop scaring women!

Winners play offense. In this case, calling the Democrats who support late-term abortions what they are: SAVAGES, BARBARIANS, INHUMAN … telling voters explicitly what the Democrats support: ripping a 7 or 8 or even 9-month old baby out of the womb and killing it. But … NO … can’t do that … the “insiders,” the “pros,” the “activists” say the suburban white women wouldn’t like that … MEAN TWEETS, ARE YOU CRAZY! … WE’VE GOT TO GET THE WHITE WOMEN IN BEDFORD BACK IN THE FOLD.

So instead we get whining from the NHGOP’s “leaders”: not true! not true! stop it! stop it! PATHETIC.

The post What Losing Looks Like … The Low-T NHGOP appeared first on Granite Grok.

The City of New York has a lot of problems, but Mayor Eric Adams has announced a new agreement between his administration and American Express. Together they will track your eating habits so the Carbon Cult can calculate CO2 emissions they will try to “reduce.”

Were American Express cardholders consulted? No. But a progressive government doesn’t ask. It tells.

 

Yesterday, New York City announced its plan to track the “food choices” of New Yorkers using credit card data from individual store purchases. According to the mayor, tracking individual food choices is a step towards “reducing the CO2 output” of New Yorkers.

The Adams administration has announced a plan to begin tracking the carbon footprint created by household food consumption as well as a new target for New York City agencies to reduce their food-based emissions by 33% by the year 2023. [Did they mean 2032 – I.C.?]

Adams is toeing the UN and WEF line as NYC joins with dozens-plus other cities in an invasion of privacy (or an act of tyranny, if you prefer)  disguised as a social-responsibility exercise. CO2, as you all know, is a trace gas essential to life on the planet, but the left has successfully targeted and isolated it as a demon summoned by your (once) affordable Western Lifestyle. As with every other alleged program to ‘reduce carbon emissions,’ the real target is you.

If unchallenged, the Big Crapple will attempt to add other card companies to expand its systemic oppression of citizens in the name of [whatever advances Marxism].

As for priorities, I bet crime has a significant carbon footprint. Perhaps you (Mayor Adams) could do something about that to help save not just the planet but New Yorkers. You remember them. They – for reasons that remain a mystery – elected you to serve them, not serve them up. Not that you need to play along. This plot only affects American Express Card holders, so leave home without it. Stop using it. Maybe even cancel it.

Preven the surveillance.

As for the rest of you, unless you want the City working with credit card companies to track your purchases with a broader range of cards and purchases, you may want to have a word with the local ‘city councilor’ about the direction in which they’ve taken your government. You’re New Yorkers. That should come easy enough.

These are the final numbers posted online for SB272 Support: 2010 | Oppose: 2911 | Neutral: 2 Next steps, the Committee with have a vote on this probably next week and then on to the House for a full floor vote either on May 4th, 11th or 18th which it must pass (OTP) or will die.

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

As you can see, we that supported the bill were outnumbered. So, I have to question, has NH gone to the Dems and dark side, or are we who love God, Liberty, Freedom, and our State just too busy, unconcerned, or just don’t care (not being mean and not pointing to any one person, just asking the question)? Also, a real check of why we get outvoted on an online question that takes 30 seconds to fill out! What we need to do is learn, get stronger, and get more people to be involved.

We all have differences, but what I am learning and seeing from the Dems is that stay lock-step when it comes to a few KEY bills that have real meaning, like abortion, parental rights, stealing our kids, school issues, and becoming a police state (maybe a couple of others as well). All the other issues are ones that we can compromise on or tweak to be beneficial to all.

Let’s find a way to get more people out there. Let’s force ourselves to get out of our comfort zone. Let’s contact all House legislators by email and, in a short NICE email ask them to support SB272 when it comes to the House Floor. I look at all emails sent to me, so I am sure they do as well.

Lastly, none of this really matters without God on our side, so let us pray, pray, and do some more praying and just maybe God will bless NH and keep NH safe. And let’s talk one on one to people and maybe educate them on the truth of the matter/s.

 

The post SB272 Parental Rights, still needs your support/help appeared first on Granite Grok.

HB 639 is, An ACT “relative to the legalization and regulation of cannabis and making appropriations therefor.” We’re not there yet, but Big Weed is excited about the overwhelming support from the NH House, and it seemed like a good time to sketch out a thought or two.

I will not get into the mental health or public nuisance issues here. Others have covered it, and there are legitimate concerns, but my position – as with alcohol – is that responsible adults should be free to engage in recreational use without harassment or government involvement until something goes sideways. As with marriage, government entanglements and all the baggage that comes with that muddy things up.

Making the state fat and happy (fatter and happier) on new taxes from licensing or sales is also a long-standing concern. Once we cross this bridge, the money will pile up, leading to more government, regulation, taxes, and inevitably less liberty.

I feel confident that was not what the liberty supporters were after.

There will be a big new bucket of money…

Republicans might use the expected revenue to offset, reduce, or eliminate other taxes. Might. But they will also use it to grow the state budget and state meddling — more spending on things that will whittle away at the public sphere.

Democrats will always raise taxes regardless of revenue, so weed windfalls will result in a larger, more oppressive, and meddlesome government on a much faster track – as fast as possible if history is any indication. The sort that will make you want to get stoned to get away from it for a while.

By legislating the circumstances for the government-approved ‘legal’ enjoyment of marijuana, we give it resources to oppress us in other ways.

 

In the interest of allowing law enforcement to focus on violent and property crimes, generating revenue for education, prevention, treatment, and recovery related to the use of both legal and illegal drugs and for other public purposes, and advancing individual freedom, the people of the state of New Hampshire find and declare that the use of cannabis by a person 21 years of age or older should be legal and subject to reasonable regulation and taxation.

 

As if the government has ever been any good at educating anyone about anything, but it is nice to see an admission that this money will fund more government, but that is not the greatest danger.

The bill states clearly that vendors may not collect or store any identifying information about their customers and may only view ID to verify age, but page 14/15 of this forty-page pig of a bill states that sellers are required to provide informational handouts to customers as a reminder that,

 

(f) Unless federal statutory law or case law has changed and such a warning is no longer
accurate, a disclosure that:

(1) Cannabis is illegal under U.S. federal law, and
(2) Under the United States government’s 1986 Gun Control Act, any ‘unlawful’ user of a controlled substance is prohibited from purchasing or owning a gun

 

It is not the weed vendor’s job to ask if you own firearms before the sale. As a responsible, law-abiding adult, it is your job to be the law-abiding adult. If you have guns and buy weed, the Feds may decide you are a felon. If you lie on the background check, the feds may decide you are a felon. HB639 is clear that you will be violating federal law in these circumstances.

So, as baby steps go, I can see why Democrats would support a leap to legalizing the sale and use of marijuana. The selective gun-grabbing potential is significant.

I guess the next question has to be, why are Republicans pushing it before addressing the federal issue of gun rights and marijuana?

The feds will not view any legal NH use as lawful with respect to firearms. While the bill does state that no state agent or funding may be used to assist in the seizure of cannabis whose possession is legal under state law – should it become law – there are no protections from federal prosecution for marijuana possession or recreational use and firearms.

I’m okay with casual adult use without fear of prosecution, but passing this law creates a severe risk of a federal indictment, fines, jail time, and a loss of your second amendment rights. Until we solve the second problem, we should wait on the first.

Or is the thinking that by adding New Hampshire to the list of states embracing decrim or legal possession and use limits, the Feds will have to cave? All I can say is how is that working out on free speech, assembly, freedom of religion, the rights of parents, and even the second amendment?

Absent a commitment from the state to protect New Hampshire gun owners and evidence they will, this smells like a setup to me.

 

The post A Public Service Reminder, NH – As HB639 Advances: You Can’t “Legally” Have Guns AND Weed appeared first on Granite Grok.

Not quite 70 years ago, my mom and dad drove the family car-a, Studebaker- from Milton Freewater, Oregon, to Star, Idaho, to attend the 4-day Thanksgiving celebration that my mom’s family had staged every year since the family farm began back in the 1860s. You could stand on the front porch and look 20 miles in any direction and still see the Dixon farm. We had great fun each thanksgiving-running after the farm’s dogs, chasing the goats, swimming in the pond.

This particular celebration was pretty much like the rest except for one memory that I wish I did not have. When we first entered the house and first entered the “sitting” room, I saw two men, about my father’s age of 31/32, sitting in my uncle’s two Victorian chairs. The entire four days we were there, I never saw them move. They just sat there.

My mom took me by the hand and ushered me over to where they sat, and introduced me to both men. They were her adopted brothers.

I only made eye contact once with each of them. They did not smile. They looked at me with very hallow eyes.

I remember feeling scared to even be around them.

Many years later, I figured out that what I was seeing in each man was horror at a level I did not know even existed. It was as if they had seen pure evil, and it had sapped all of their strength.

And their will to live.

Indeed, they both committed suicide one day. A Saturday. They walked together into my uncle’s cornfield, and each pulled their own trigger, each ending their own life: together.

Many years after I first met my two uncles, my mom called me up and told me to watch a TV show called “BAND OF BROTHERS.” She told me that although the show certainly embellished what happened, it was largely based upon actual events and that my two uncles were part of EASY company, which the show followed from Normandy to Berlin.

One episode -an event my mom told me actually happened-helped me understand why my uncles had become the hallowed out, empty men I saw at Thanksgiving. (During WW2, my mom worked for the State Department, decoding German war messages. She had access to all sorts of top-secret materials and knew the story of what happened to my uncles from those reports.) Between the show and her input, the story unfolded:

Rumors had abounded throughout the army that HITLER had death camps. None had, at that time, yet been found. My two uncles’ platoon was on a routine patrol when a strong odor of death and burning flesh overwhelmed their position. They had been in major combat for the prior four years and they were no strangers to the odor. All it meant was that they needed to move in the direction from which it came to complete their patrol.

The stench got stronger and stronger. Finally, they came out of a thick stand of trees and saw in front of them the pure evil I saw in their eyes: a place of horror, of torture, of satanic death. They saw piles of naked corpses-men, women, children- piled 10 and 12 high. They saw emaciated, near-dead, starving men and women and, again, children. They could see, off in the remote part of the camp, the smoke coming from still-operating cremating ovens. Over the next few days, they went into rooms that had gold fillings, rings, and necklaces. They found a room that had nothing but women’s shoes–hundreds if not thousands. They found a room where torture obviously occurred.

They had seen what Satan was capable of the prior four years. But nothing they saw before even remotely compared to what they saw in this place.

Their command, after nearly a week of having them patrol the camp, realized that the effect on my uncles and their buddies was too much, so they moved them into patrolling the nearby town. What they had seen in the death camp had unhinged them. What they saw in town caused them to completely crack.

The prisoners in the death camp had arrived by rail. My Uncles saw the tracks go right into the camp. They knew that the Germans had been quite brutal to the prisoners in the transports. A rail car that should hold maybe 20 to 25 was crammed with 100, 120, maybe even 150. The prisoners could not sit down. They were crammed so tight that all they could do for the days it took to transport them was to stand with no ability to move. They had no water. No food. Many died en route. All defecated and urinated where they stood. The smell and the cries of misery had to be deafening.

In patrolling the town, the Soldiers saw that the train track that they knew transported the death camp prisoners went right thru the town and right next to a Catholic church. When interviewed, the churchgoers claimed that they were not Nazis but good people who were bullied into submission by Hitler’s troops. They also claimed they knew nothing about the trains or the camp. However, the track went right next to the church.

Over time and continuous questioning, it finally, came out that, in fact, the churchgoers were aware of the trains. It came out that the railroad cars in fact went by the church on Sunday when services were in progress. It came out that the Priest ordered the choir to sing as loud as possible to drown out the cries of misery that rose up from the train cars as they passed by.

The anger of the American troops was uncontrollable. They had to be physically restrained not to kill every last churchgoer. These “good people” claimed to be Christian; claimed not to be Nazis, yet train after train after train went by their church services, and they did NOTHING.

The churchgoers said-in their defense that if they tried to stop the Nazis, they would lose their home, their jobs, and their lives. The American troops, of course, had endured being shot at and killed for years. Indeed, the only reason the Americans had to endure such war was that these “good” Christian Germans were cowered into doing nothing.

The thought of “good” people who did nothing in the face of evil is what sapped the life out of my uncles. They lost all faith in God. They lost all faith in mankind. They found peace only in the company each provided the other. Suicide called, and they answered.

My mother told me that her brothers(my uncles) -along with a whole raft of people in the state department-had given special names to the Nazis in this death camp(and all the others) and town.

A NAZI IN THE FIRST DEGREE was the high-level Nazi in government, business, in banking that ran the entire Nazi show. My uncles hated this group and fought against them for the entirety of the war. But they never thought that they were this evil. Truly seeing what this group did was unsettling.

A NAZI IN THE SECOND DEGREE was all the rank-and-file crazy loons who became passionately fascistic. They were the goose-stepping morons that the Nazis, in the first degree, used to do their dirty work.

My uncles were familiar with this group, too. They fought them and killed them. But, until the camp, my uncles never understood how evil they were.

A NAZI IN THE THIRD DEGREE, however, was truly what made my Uncles suicidal. These were the folks they found in the Catholic Church.

They claimed that they were not Nazis. They claimed that they did not believe in Fascism. They claimed to be Christian. Yet, when confronted by the horrors of the death camp, the misery of the Jewish prisoners, the cry of the dead and dying, they did absolutely nothing other than sing louder to drown out the “noise” of death.

My Uncles knew a simple truth: without the DO NOTHING” mentality of the Catholic Church goers, the Nazis could not have come to power; could not have killed so many American soldiers; could not have murdered the 6 million Jews. It is this group that my uncles abhorred beyond all the others. Having fought Hitler for 4 years, having endured life and death combat where they and their buddies were exposed daily to being shot, bombed, or set afire, they simply could not abide folks who said, ” I need to keep quiet and let the Nazis do whatever they want or otherwise I could lose my home, my job, and my pension.”

This is the group that broke my uncle’s spirit. NAZIS IN THE THIRD DEGREE.

This past Sunday, during Easter mass at the Catholic church I love to attend, the choir was singing particularly well. One singer was designated to hit a very high pitched note. She did it well. It permeated the entire church. And for no reason at all, when I heard her high-pitched note, the history of my uncle’s experience in Germany popped back into my head. And not in a good way.

Right now, don’t we have in our country NAZIS IN THE FIRST DEGREE: A “ruling” class of very wealthy and powerful people that are doing everything in their power to bring evil into our world? Perhaps Nazi is the wrong term. The folks in this group are spewing a dogma that is far more extensive and evil than what the Nazis spread in Germany. For lack of a better term, maybe I should call them “WOKE IN THE FIRST DEGREE.”

I think my uncles would ask: How are they any different than the evil beasts that filled the Nazi agenda in the 1940s. The Nazis back then sought to destroy everything that was right and good in the world. Our current “WOKE IN THE FIRST DEGREE” is doing everything it can to give life and strength to the powers that will our destruction: they are destroying our life: family; childhood; Constitutional government; manhood; womanhood; history: economy… everything patriots have valued since we declared our independence from the tyranny of the English ruling class.

And I think my uncles would also ask: don’t we have “NAZIS/ WOKE IN THE SECOND DEGREE”… People who accept hook, line, and sinker the odorous crap of the pure evil that comes from the first degree as if it was the sweet smell of their personal heaven.

I think my uncles would see both groups. And wonder why they exist. And, more importantly, why they, my uncles, fought so hard and endured so much in WW2 if all that was to happen was that our country would be turned over to the same evil they fought against back then. They might ask how we could possibly allow “WOKE IN THE FIRST DEGREE” OR WOKE IN THE SECOND DEGREE TO EXIST, TO TAKE OVER OUR LAND.

It is a horrible thought for me, but I think my Uncles would answer their own question by pointing their fingers at me and saying that I am responsible because I am one they would brand as “WOKE IN THE THIRD DEGREE”: a “good” person, a Christian person, a patriotic person who sees, understands, and even rejects the evil coming from the woke in the first degree, and from the woke in the second degree, and DOES NOTHING TO STOP IT.

While I sat in my Church, listening to my Choir, I had a really hard time explaining to myself why I was any different than those folks back then.

Back when I practiced law in California, it was not so. In 1981, after 6 months of trial in department 55 of the Los Angeles superior court, the jury awarded my client-her name was Annette- the largest punitive damage award ever made in Los Angeles County against a health insurer for racial discrimination in the handling of her injury claim. 42 years later, my last case, a jury awarded my client a multimillion-dollar judgment against a very famous golf course in Palm Springs for racial discrimination. I handled numerous cases on behalf of women who were sexually harassed, abused, discriminated against in the workplace. I put lawyers in jail who committed fraud. I put pedophiles in jail for imposing their “love’ on two- and three-year-old preschoolers.

When I retired, I guess I figured that evil would just go away. I certainly thought it would leave me, my family, and my friends alone. Allowing me to spend the last days of my life in a rocking chair, watching my grandchildren pitch and catch and hit home runs.

I was wrong. Evil takes no vacation. Any thoughts to the contrary are simpleton and dangerous. Doing nothing in the face of evil is “WOKE IN THE THIRD DEGREE,”…no matter your age, your past, or your future. And for me, “WOKE IN THE THIRD DEGREE( SINGING LOUDER TO DROWN OUT AND IGNORE THE CRIES OF MISERY FROM MY FELLOW AMERICANS) IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE.

I am 72. I am arthritic. I lack the memory I once had. 5 of me today would not win against one of me 50 years ago. But it doesn’t matter.

One of my favorite songs has lyrics that do matter: the singer, in character, portrays the voice of a desperate man who sees evil in the world and laments to God to fix what is broken. He moans; he groans, and most importantly, instead of finding a solution, he blames God for all the problems in the world in a very disrespectful tone. He concludes by admonishing God in a very demanding tone- to fix human society. He Cries out, “THIS PLACE IS A MESS. GOD, YOU GOT TO DO SOMETHING.

Then he pauses, changes into the character of a loving God, and belts out the reply:”I ALREADY DID. I SENT YOU.”

I did not write this article to tell you about myself. I certainly did not write it in the hopes of appealing to the ‘WOKE IN THE FIRST DEGREE” NOR THE “WOKE IN IN THE SECOND DEGREE.”

I write this article to the good, decent, hardworking Americans who look at the world and see the evil that these two” DEGREES” ARE FOSTERING. The studies I have read show that 80 percent of Americans dissent from the mantra coming from the first degree and the cancel culture of the second degree.

It is to you-the 80 percent- that I write this article: to ask, to plead, TO IMPLORE each of you: isn’t it time to cancel your membership in the ” WOKE IN THE THIRD DEGREE” club?

To be clear, I do cite my own experience. I do confess my sin. But I do so only to define “us”. We are the ” WOKE IN THE THIRD DEGREE.” And it’s time we quit that club.

THE WOKE NEED TO AWAKEN.

And to do that, “we” must all realize that we are not the minority. The polls all show that 80 percent of our world does not approve of what the First Degree and Second are doing. The Woke, in the First Degree have loads of money and power and has used it to make “us” feel like we are alone and that what they are promoting is an overwhelming wave that “us” cannot resist or overcome. But they lie.

Turn to your left. Turn to your right. When you have thoughts that the horrors that ARE being preached by the woke culture- by our own government-are wrong, realize that “us” is “us”; we are not alone.

When “us” stands up to the forces that want to destroy all that makes this country good and decent, “us” will not stand alone. Ever.

IT IS ONE MINUTE TO MIDNITE. WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES 12, OUR WORLD WILL BE OVER. Doing nothing is no longer an option unless “us” has lost all hope of the America that was. That is. That still could be.

I wrote this article to ask “us” (you and me) to stop being a part of ‘WOKE IN THE THIRD DEGREE. Our country will not survive unless those of “us” have chosen to do nothing exit this very worthless club known as the ” WOKE IN THE THIRD DEGREE” and become the “CAPTAIN DOWDS IN THE FIRST DEGREE.”

WE FOUGHT THE BRITISH.

WE FOUGHT THE GERMANS.

WE HAVE TAKEN AN OATH TO FIGHT AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

Your country is calling.

Lady Liberty is calling.

Let’s bury “WOKE IN THE THIRD DEGREE.”

GOD BLESS!

Meagan Gallagher, CEO for Planned Parenthood Northern New England (PPNNE),  suddenly walked out on her employer in April 2021. A year later, I wrote about how Planned Parenthood Northern New England is in disarray after they closed a facility in Vermont. Soon after that, they closed four more facilities in Vermont and one in Claremont, New Hampshire. They were still without a CEO and things were going from bad to worse.

Related: Planned Parenthood Northern New England Is in Disarray

Finally, after a long 17 months without a CEO, during which they lost their lobbying efforts to stop New Hampshire’s Fetal Life Protection Act from becoming law, PPNNE finally hired CEO Judith Selzer in September 2022.

Five months later, on the 50th anniversary of the Roe V Wade ruling by the US Supreme Court, one year after the ruling was overturned, Selzer wrote an op-ed bemoaning the loss:

This Jan. 22, we should be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Instead, our country is confronting a stark reality in which younger generations have fewer rights than the last, and one in three Americans no longer have the right to safe, legal abortion in their home state.

Anti-abortion forces want us to succumb to despair and darkness. But our hope, grit and unwavering faith that the long arc of reproductive rights will again bend toward justice burns brighter than ever.

There’s no chance I’m going to succumb to the overturning of Roe and just sit down. Instead, the fire in me burns brighter.

As the new CEO of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, I am channeling my grief and outrage into efforts to rebuild a system of care that truly ensures every person has access to safe, legal abortion, no matter what.

However, in February 2023, after only six months of employment, after saying “There’s no chance I’m going to succumb,” Selzer did “succumb to despair and darkness,” she “channeled [her] grief and outrage,” and left her job, voluntarily or involuntarily. They are again without a CEO.

What are the chances they will be able to find another CEO after having two CEOs in a row walk out on them within two years, the second one after only six months? Something is seriously dysfunctional with this organization besides their extremism on abortion. They are imploding and it will be interesting what disaster awaits them next.

Good News. The Bidenistas have introduced a new program called the Welcome Corps (that’s ‘corpse’ for Barry Obama fan club members). It allows you to sign up and take in “refugees.” Don’t worry. There will be enough for everyone. It looks like your government has been bringing them here at your expense.

The US and the UN have alleged “invasion camps.” Waypoints” built to house “migrants,” at least some of whom are then moved in busses from camp to camp through Central America to the southern US border.

 

 

 

[The]United States via the United Nations has established what amounts to a conveyor belt of camps across Central America to allow migrants to move north in large numbers to our southern border. This is happening with the direct involvement of the Department of Homeland Security. DHS Secretary Mayorkas just visited camps in Panama as part of an ongoing effort by the Biden administration to double the capacity of the existing infrastructure.

 

The Biden administration isn’t ignoring security on the Souther Border. It is “securing” a multi-nation migration action aided by the UN and paid for by you to flood the United States with illegal aliens whom you may now sponsor – because we have a housing crisis. It’s the best time to add millions of effectively homeless people who don’t speak the language, are unfamiliar with the customs, and may lack basic skills, including the ability to read or write.

All while we experience record economic instability, inflation, and the ever-looming recession.

No worries, your stretched-thin budget can embrace more mouths to clothe and feed from South and Central America – or other places like Ukraine, Afghanistan, Somalia, or wherever else the US can grab bodies to dilute poisonous white colonialist America.

A recolonization in their preferred demographic and, hopefully, electoral image while laundering more money through progressive-leaning organizations.

The Department of State is funding a consortium of non-profit organizations with expertise in welcoming, resettling, and integrating refugees into U.S. communities to support the Welcome Corps. This consortium is being led by the Community Sponsorship Hub, and includes Church World Service, IRIS – Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services, the International Refugee Assistance Project, the International Rescue Committee, and Welcome.US. This consortium will offer expert guidance and support to Americans joining the Welcome Corps. …

Community organizations and institutions may also apply to participate in the Welcome Corps as Private Sponsor Organizations (PSOs) to mobilize, support, and oversee private sponsors. As the Welcome Corps launches, a range of organizations are stepping forward as PSOs including Alight, Every Campus A Refuge, HIAS, Home for Refugees USA, IRIS – Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services, the International Rescue Committee, Rainbow Railroad, and WelcomeNST. With strong support from private philanthropists, the consortium will make funds available to qualifying PSOs to support their efforts.  To complement the work of both PSOs and the consortium, the Department of Health and Human Services will continue to support U.S. states as they build infrastructure and outreach capacity to welcome and support new arrivals’ integration into their new communities.

Phase I and II appear voluntary. In what phase will the Feds try to require us to house their invading army of migrants?

This past weekend was filled with violence in many of our major cities. We saw planned mob violence on Chicago streets and hundreds of young people destroying storefronts in Compton, CA, only to steal all of the inventory once inside. The videos were graphic and showed no concern for people and property. In the Windy City, a twenty-year-old woman was in the wrong place. She was trying to get into her apartment building when she was surrounded by dozens of “protestors,” who hit and kicked her until she fell to the ground. Her mother reports that she was not seriously injured and will recover.

The police were overwhelmed and helpless. Most officers stood back as observers. They know officers, DAs, or politicians do not back them.

Outgoing Mayor Lightfoot says she cannot agree with the term mayhem but saw a number of protestors in the wrong place and acting out. It is not their fault.

Mayor-Elect Brandon John said, “In no way do I condone the destructive activity…However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.”

The outgoing and incoming mayors refuse to assign culpability to these rioters. It is society’s fault for failing these youths, which is why they act out. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. What will happen in these pits of humanity for these people to say there is a problem?

This ignorance is not just at the city level. State Senator Robert Peters said, “I would look at the behavior of young people as a political act and statement. It’s a mass protest against poverty and segregation.” The voters of Chicago and Illinois put these individuals into office. It is fair to say that these voters are getting what they deserve.

The networks and CNN, like the politicians, did not see anything newsworthy this weekend in Chicago. Combined, these four networks gave zero minutes to the Chicago violence. By the way, ten were killed and 26 injured in other violent acts in Chicago.

These were not political protestors. These people were hellbent on creating chaos and destruction. The destruction of the ARCO station was one of three simultaneously happening in Compton. These acts were coordinated on Social Media.

The video was clear. Dozens of young people gathered outside the gas station Mini-Mart. They broke through the glass door and scattered throughout the store, clearing off the shelves. They left nothing and destroyed the property once the shelves were stripped bare.

There was no politics involved at any of the violent sites. These rioters were not making a statement. They were looting, destroying, and causing chaos and fear. Unless you watched FOX News over the weekend, you might not know about these destructive activities. Ignoring violence does not make it go away. There is something wrong with America, right to our core. These rioters obviously get no guidance from home and parents and have no respect or fear of the law. If nobody is held accountable for these acts, what will prevent them from repeating their actions? That was a rhetorical question. Nothing will stop this destruction, and it will only escalate.

Do you want to take control of your energy bills? Do you feel empowered by the idea of going solar all on your own?

It’s a great idea you have. Solar panel installation can save you thousands of dollars over the next two decades. Not to mention, you’re helping the environment by choosing to use clean energy.

There’s only one problem.

It’s not that easy to do the installation all on your own, and you’re not sure if you should hire professionals. What do you need to know to decide if solar panel installation is right for you? Let’s break it down.

Benefits of Solar Panel Installation

A solar panel installation is a fantastic option for homeowners who are looking to reduce their electricity bills. Solar energy benefits are many, such as reducing the cost of energy, improving the environment, and increasing the value of your home. Solar panel installation will allow you to generate your energy from the sun. Energy can use to power lights, appliances, and other electronic devices.

When the sun is shining and energy is plentiful, you will be able to store it in a battery for later use or send extra energy back to the grid for others to use. If you are looking for an efficient and eco-friendly source of energy, then solar panel installation may be right for your home.

Assess Compatibility With Your Home

Assess compatibility with your home when considering solar panel installation. Ensure your roof is structurally sound and placed at a correct angle to ensure the most direct access to sunlight.

Make sure the materials the solar panels may come into contact with won’t damage them – things like tree branches or electrical wires. Talk to an inspector or electrician to make sure your home can handle more load. Consider your area’s sunlight availability.

Solar panels function best in brightly lit areas. It makes the least cost-effective options in regions or during times with reduced sun availability. That’s why it’s important to check the pros and cons and make sure solar panel installation is right for your home.

Potential Investment Returns

Solar panel installation should be weighed against the initial cost of the system to determine potential returns. While solar panels come with a high initial cost, they can yield a large return on investment over the lifetime of the system. Solar panels will last between 20-30 years and provide long-term savings in electricity bills.

Tax credits and rebates can also reduce the cost of installation. Net-metering arrangements allow users to feed their excess electricity back into the grid. It can provide an extra source of income. A solar installation is a worthwhile investment and can provide much savings in the long run.

Types of Solar Panel Systems

There are many different types of solar panel systems available for home installation, and each one has unique advantages. Grid-tied solar, off-grid solar, and hybrid systems all have benefits that homeowners should consider when deciding if solar panel installation is right for their home.

Grid-tied solar panels are connected to the utility grid, allowing homeowners to sell excess energy back to the utility company. Off-grid solar systems are not tied to the grid and need more maintenance.

Hybrid solar systems use a combination of grid-tied and off-grid systems and can provide reliable power during an outage. Homeowners should consider their energy needs, budget, and desires when selecting a solar panel system.

Investigate Local Regulations for Solar Panel Installation

Check local regulations before installing solar panels to ensure compliance with the panel installation process. Regulations vary from municipality to municipality, requiring a permit before installation. Other municipalities offer payments for homes and businesses that generate renewable energy.

Depending on where you live, there may also be specific laws and incentives for solar panel system installation. Knowing local regulations can help you make an informed decision about installing solar panels.

Also, take advantage of the potential savings. Investigate local regulations for solar panel installation to ensure a successful and cost-effective outcome.

Cost of Installing Solar Panels

It is important to consider the cost of solar panel installation. It requires significant upfront costs for both the panels and their installation. Depending on the size of your roof and the type of panels you decide to use. Solar panel costs can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars.

Regarding the installation costs, there may be extra fees such as permitting, inspections, or financing fees. But, the long-term savings on electricity bills may make solar panel installation worthwhile. Incentives may also reduce the cost, making it more affordable. Evaluating your energy needs and budget is the best way to determine if solar panel installation is right for your home.

Choose a Reliable Solar Panel Company

Choose a reliable solar panel installation company to ensure quality panels and installation. Research several companies to compare warranties, customer reviews, and the types of panels they offer.

Take a look at certifications and accreditations from the company to make sure they have been professionally vetted and certified. Ask questions of the company and make sure they give satisfactory responses. Pay attention to the detailing in their proposals to see what locations they are willing to install panels in.

Good customer service and reliable deployment of a quality product are essential. Make sure you look at the combined value of the solar panel and installers also as the price.

School administrators across New Hampshire are providing sensitive mental health information to Keene State /Behavior Health Improvement Institute. For more information, go here.

Why is BHII collecting mental health personally identifiable information on public school students? What are they doing with the PII? Who has access to this information? In Lisa Logan’s article, SEL + ESG = Social Credit System, knowing who has access to your child’s mental health records is important–especially since students and parents did NOT consent to any of this.

Prior to Keene State accessing this data, Plymouth State and Antioch University was gathering mental health data on students in New Hampshire. This has been happening for years without any parents knowing or consenting. But did you know that this information can be shared with the federal government?

The student privacy law school administrators cite when it’s convenient for them, has a large gaping loophole that allows district administrators to open up the gates of data-mining without your knowledge or consent. Once that information is disclosed to organizations like BHII, they can then re-disclose this information without your knowledge or consent. . All personally identifiable information on education records (mental health, psychological records collected at school)) can be re-disclosed to federal data warehouse NCES/IES because of the Obama Executive Order, EO 12866, that allows personally identifiable information to be released to the National Center for Education Statistics/IES and outside 3rd party vendors.

Who will have access to your child’s mental health records without your knowledge or consent?
That’s what I’m trying to find out.  I sent a Right to Know Request to BHII, and The New Hampshire Department of Education. I want to know who has access to these records.

If and when I get some answers, I will be posting that information here. Please stay tuned. There is more disturbing information coming!!

In the meantime, I would suggest that EVERYONE who reads this article, contact Commissioner Edelblut, and the elected officials below. Tell them that parents deserve answers. Why did BHII ask for mental health PII, and who has access to it?

Re FW Request for information

It’s important that everyone demand some answers. Just about every ethical code governing mental health professionals requires informed consent before disclosing mental health PII. What is going on in our schools? This violates The New Hampshire Constitution, and our right to privacy!

If you are reading this article, and you live in the state of New Hampshire, YOU NEED TO SEND an email to our elected representatives asking them to demand some answers!

Send an email to all of these people, and let them know that you are aware of the data mining going on in our schools! Let them know we demand answers. Who is accessing personally identifiable mental health information on students in our schools?

The post URGENT CALL TO ACTION for ALL NH RESIDENTS: Hold Our Government Accountable NOW! appeared first on Granite Grok.

An epic rant by Jesse Kelly, and it is spot on. In my words, not his: The Republican Party’s “leaders” are corporate-WHORES who would rather lose than fight. And this assessment is especially applicable to the NHGOP whose “leaders”

are comfortable serving as punching bags for Adam Sexton, NHPR, and the rest of New Hampshire’s Leftist advocacy media and, worse, pretend that doing so and clucking “bipartisan,” “bipartisan,” “bipartisan” while the Communists (aka NH-Democrats) call them misogynists, transphobes, Nazis, etc. etc. etc.  is a viable political strategy.

The post The Low T GOP appeared first on Granite Grok.

It started with former NH State Rep Jan Schmidt. She’s a progressive mouth-breather politically and a poster child for the party mascot on social media. She also branded GraniteGrok as a hate site way back when which was repeated by several of her fellow mouth-breathers.

They say we are a hate site, which is amusing since most of them have never read a word we’ve written. I you asked them to cite examples, they’d hurl generalizations while gesticulating uncontrollably, shouting about racism or some such thing. It’s all very amusing to us and easy pickings on slow days because the fruit -rotten as it is – hangs so damn low.

Schmidtler, for example, announced one day – that we hate women, which is a strange thing to say about a website that has had (and has) many women writers and shares op-eds by women and always has (and yes, we know what a woman is). But how would she know? She’s never spent any time here and admitted as much. She just assumed that because we disagreed with her politically, made fun of her antics, and posted her voting record, we hated women.

The Southern Poverty Law Center – the Alpha and Omega for such things – disagrees. Given the opportunity to label GraniteGrok as a hate site, they opted for anti-government. Skip wrote about it here. Boiled down, our failure to toe the line on approved narratives (which we may even dare to contradict or debunk) makes us an anti-government group.

They misspelled “free speech advocate,” but that’s okay. Donors do not give to the SPLC so it can reward a defense of natural rights, constitutional values, or the distrust of any government that framed the founder’s vision for the American experiment that the SPLC and Jan Schmidt worked to undermine.

I am opposed to anarchy and a well-documented fan of limited government, which means I can’t possibly be anti-government, but I have not a care about the musings of the SPLC or Jan Schmidt or the regurgitations of her mouth-breathing political posterity. I am, however, inclined to avail myself of the opportunity provided by both to amuse myself and our readers.

Jan and her drove should be required to issue a retraction. According to the SPLC, we are not a hate site. We’re anti-government. Feel free to publish your apology and retraction at your convenience (that will be never), and we’re okay with that too. But if the SPLC can’t call us that, neither can you.
