Years ago, I had a “diet race” with DCE from Weekend Pundit (we live in the same town) and we both started out around 245. For weeks, every Monday, we’d put up that week’s weight loss results.  Yes, I won. The sad thing is that after a while, we both put it back on. Two years ago, I said that it was time, AGAIN, to lose the weight and I went from 257 lbs down to 187.  Pretty much have kept it off for a year (some ups, some down).  And that presents a problem for me as all the “easy weight” for me is already gone. To lose additional weight is going to get HARD to do.

So, what’s the challenge this time? Tom Murray from the Government Integrity Project and I are challenging each other to lose weight because we need to do so. Each of us has chosen our own target weight and the goal is to get there safely.  That means no starving oneself for days – not only because it isn’t healthy but doing so also puts the weight right back on when you stop dieting and neither of us is looking for that to happen.

Who knows, maybe there should be a following challenge to keep the weight off so as to have our bodies do a more complete “reset”?  Not clear on this yet (mostly because I just thought of it).

Rules:

• Every Monday, get on the scale first thing.
• And then, to show accountability, report into the other what their current weight is that morning.
• I’ve got a spread sheet to track the changes and to calculate the percentage to the starting, target, current, and total weights for each of us. Compute the total percentage towards the target goal.

Sidenote: yes, we are losing different amounts of weight so to “normalize” the results. I’ve already lost most of my “easy” weight so my target is 178 lbs – a little bit more than when I was in college decades ago so my “drop” is 17.6 lbs.  Tom’s starting weight is much higher but as he gets going (which he has promised to do), he’ll be dropping a LOT higher poundage in the beginning (because that’s generally what happens). But that’s where doing the achievement percentage will help as Tom’s target is just a tad below 70 lbs.

• HOW we lose the weight is up to us individually. Me? I’ll just cut down on my ice cream eating and my other portions (soup for lunch works very well for me). Tom says he’ll be working out and eating a bit less.
• I’ll put up two thermometers to show our progress (or lack thereof)!
• As the weeks go by, older updates will just slide down this page (so a lot of “bumping” of this post to each new Monday).
• First one to target weight, however, gets a steak dinner at a nice place, courtesy of the other.

I’m hoping that the ‘Grok readership will spur us on and keep up going. We started last Monday so today is the first result:

My amount this week may be a “best” as I’m expecting that my loss amount will go downward after this first week (I’m just continuing a present diet and not starting from scratch). Egads, if I start to fall behind, maybe I’ll have to even exercise, too!

 

 

 

The post It’sss BAAAACK – The Weight Loss Challenge. Yep, the Thermometers are Back! appeared first on Granite Grok.

Silicon Valley Bank, a regional bank in California, was placed in receivership on Friday by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC). This takeover was in reaction to a run on the bank by unsettled depositors in fear of the safety of their cash. Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) specializes in tech start-ups.

In the last week, SVB stock prices plummeted when the bank announced on Wednesday that they had sold many securities at a loss to cover withdrawals. Stock value was down 40% on Thursday and 60% by Friday when trading in SVB shares was halted. California regulators intervened, shutting the bank down and placing it in receivership under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The situation was dire two weeks ago, and that is when SVB executives did what should be investigated, and both should be held accountable. SVB CEO and President Gregory Becker sold over 12,000 shares for $3,578,652.31 on February 26, while CFO Beck sold $575,180 in stocks in a separate transaction on the same day. Both saw what the future held for the bank, used insider information, and cashed in while many customers found their assets in jeopardy.

The other activity that needs to be investigated is employees were given bonuses on Friday, just hours before the bank was padlocked. Officers and employees went home with cash in hand while questions arose about customers’ deposits. Deposits for customers are insured up to $250,000, but any balances above that limit are in jeopardy.

The failure of SVB had ripple effects, and the Market saw back-to-back dips of 500 points on Thursday and Friday. There is a concern for Monday on Wall Street, and regional banks are bracing for considerable withdrawals as nervous customers move their cash from smaller to larger and safer institutions. The Markets, already confused by the Biden Economy and activity by the Fed to play with interest rates, are set for more losses in the next session.

The issue with SVB that brought on its demise was the practice of investing in Securities. When the economy softened due to Biden’s poor economic policies and the Fed raised interest rates, those Securities lost value. SVB had to sell Securities at a loss to raise needed capital, and those losses sounded alarms for investors. They started pulling cash, and the downward spiral brought us to last week.

As I am writing this article on Sunday afternoon, there are dozens of people waiting in the rain outside of Republic National Bank in Studio City to be able to withdraw funds on Monday morning. It is estimated that over 100,000 investors nationwide will be looking to remove their deposits on Monday. Most are insured, but many do not want to absorb the risk. We should know by midweek how far the contagion from SVB has spread.

It is not just the banks, but the website ETSY delayed payments to its sellers on Friday out of concern about the volatility in the banking sector. There are three critical takeaways from SVB. The issues were self-inflicted with bad policy decisions, Joe Biden’s economy was the trigger that began the run on SVB, and this will not be the last ban we will focus on down the road. And, by the way, somebody at SVB must be held accountable for their poor management decisions and insider trading.

 

 

The post Bank Collapses, Employees Cash Bonus Checks appeared first on Granite Grok.

At Meet the Candidates Day in Croydon, one resident kept asking each candidate: Yes, or No, do you support the Free State movement? Do you support public education? Do you support the United States Constitution?

Here are three more questions that each of them should have been asked: Yes or No. Do you believe that people should respect the property and autonomy of others? Do you believe that people should pay for the services they use? Do you believe that people should be allowed to decide for themselves which charities to support and how much support to offer?

Because if you answer Yes to all three of these, then you do support the Free State movement, even if you don’t realize that. (Like Monsieur Jourdain, in Moliere’s play The Bourgeois Gentleman, who is surprised to discover in his forties that he’s been speaking prose his whole life.)

And if you answer No to at least one of them, then maybe it’s you — rather than those awful Free Staters — that people should be afraid of.

Anyway, there were a lot of candidates for a lot of offices, so there wasn’t really time to ask the candidates for school board (the incumbent, Jody Underwood, and the leader of the Stand Up movement,  Angi Beaulieu) a number of other questions that voters deserved to hear the answer to, including:

• Can you cite the particular sections of the state and federal constitutions that authorize taking money from people who don’t want to give it to you, in order to spend it on people who could afford to get along without it?

 

• Angi, you were recently featured in a documentary, standing next to what seemed to be a boat that belongs to you.  If you sold that boat, you could have used the money to pay to send your kids to school, lessening the tax burden on the town. By letting the town pay for their schooling, didn’t you have the town effectively pay for that boat?  That being the case, shouldn’t we all be able to come over and use it?

 

•  The central tenets of Marxism are that we should take money from people who have more, just because they have it, and we should give that money to people who have less, just because they say they need it. Do you support either or both of those tenets? If so, then as a Marxist, in what sense do you ‘support’ the Constitution, as you said a moment ago?  If not, then why did you put so much effort into the Stand Up campaign?

 

• The 377 people who voted Yes at the special meeting could have pooled the money they weren’t going to be paying in taxes and donated it to parents who needed help with tuition — as opposed to giving it to parents who could already afford to pay much or all of the cost for their own kids, who would then use the money to pay for things like boats, or extra real estate. Did you never consider that option, or did you consider it and deliberately reject it?  If you never considered it, isn’t that the kind of failure of imagination that we can’t afford to have in our school board members?  If you rejected it, what were your reasons?

 

• What is ‘your fair share’ of someone else’s property or money?  And what is the process for determining that amount?

 

• Do you believe, as it says in the Declaration of Independence, that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed?  If so, why did you convene a special meeting whose purpose was to use government to take money from people without their consent?

[Follow-up]  If you believe that majority rule is the same as consent, how do you square that with Article V of the federal constitution, which says that no state shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate without its consent?  Also, if you believe that majority rule is the same as consent, how large a majority should suffice to make you give up one of your kidneys, if you wanted to keep it?

 

•  If any individual uses the threat of force to take money from another individual against his will, you would say that he should be prosecuted.  But when 377 people use the threat of force to take money from 300 other people, you say that it should be celebrated.  So it would seem that there is some number between 1 and 377 at which robbery is transformed into democracy.  What is that number?

[Follow-up]   If such a number exists, what is your advice to people who would like to raise their children to believe that taking something from someone who doesn’t want to give it to you is wrong?  How should they help those children understand that what is wrong for a person is okay for a large enough gang of people?

 

• If you had to choose between (1) the system we have now, in which well under half of students learn to read and do math at even the most basic level of proficiency, but have lots of opportunities to engage in hobbies and job training at public expense, and (2) some other system, in which nearly all students learn to read and do math with high proficiency, but have to engage in hobbies and job training at private expense, which would you pursue as a matter of school board policy?  And why?  No weaseling about how we can ‘do it all’, please, as half a century of experience shows that this is clearly not the case.

[Follow-up]   If you prefer the latter, why did you put so much effort into convening a special meeting to fund the former?

 

• Twenty years ago, the state supreme court said that the justification for publicly funding education is to ensure the preservation of a free government, and so it is the state’s responsibility to provide each educable child with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and learning necessary to participate intelligently in the American political, economic, and social systems of a free government.  Others in the Stand Up movement have denounced this as a ‘crazy Free Stater idea’, have claimed that it ‘represents too narrow a view of public education’, have said that it is ‘detrimental to society’, and so on.  Do you agree with the court — which, many would say, is the same as agreeing with the state constitution — or with those who reject the court’s view?

Well, well, it seems that Thad Riley isn’t enjoying the attention we have given him as this NH GOP Executive Board member (Assistant Secretary) since he decided that being a “Republican Role Model” isn’t part of the job description.  Or that he can do what he wants given the “So what, what are they going to do to me?”. While NH GOP Chair Chris Ager (who needs this and his Vice-Chair’s “stance kerfuffle” and the Belknap County Delegation incompetence in following the Law when it comes to meetings like multiple holes in his head from a PR perspective) has said that TECHNICALLY Thad Riley was just within the NH GOP ByLaw stating that NH GOP elected officials can’t endorse a Democrat in a race where a Republican is also running.

And in the Brentwood Selectman race, Thad endorsed a Democrat over the Republican.  So all we can do is point it out over and over again for being a Republican hypocrite (at worst) but certainly flaunting his office’s name in doing so.  Well, expect for one small little detail…slander?

Slander – slăn′dər   noun

• Oral communication of false and malicious statements that damage the reputation of another.
• A false and malicious statement or report about someone.

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

Ayup, here what is being reported to us by those who are rather upset that Riley is trading in on his office.  We ALL know that in this hyper-partisan time we live in, the “non-partisan” local races are certainly that!

Sidenote – Doubt me? I’d  give it a 95-98% chance that at your polling place, the “poll standers” outside will have one party on one side and the other on in their grouping and nary do the groups yak.

So here’s what’s being reported to us:

“Granite Grok is a group of right wing Liars“.

Thad Riely full leftist turn. He is a poison pill willing to inflict harm upon the NH GOP & Grok

So he’s attacking our reputation from his high political perch.  Wonderful! But can he prove it?  Calling us liars isn’t an opinion – he needs backup proof that he’s right and we do deserve that label.  No, it’s not libel as we were told he spoke those above words and didn’t write them.  but if someone knows of such kind of writing, send that along as well (see Bleg, below).

I sent this over to Steve with a rather broad smile and asked “shall we”?  His response:

If he wants to dance, we’ll dance.

Thanks, Thad; now you REALLY have brought us upon yourself.  Streisand Effect to be served with a side dish of snark.  Did you think this through?

So, a BLEG (a blogosphere “ask”) of you all – if you see him, ask him about our reporting.  Ask him what we have lied about.  Ask him where we have gone off a cliff in showing what he did. Ask him why we SHOULDN’T have reported what we did. Ask him if we supposed to leave him alone and ignore him simply by dint of his latest political elevation?

Then report back to us if you believe, like we do, that if you are a high level official within the NH GOP, there should be standards for political behavior that should not be broken.

And if you know where he might be in advance, let us know. Perhaps we’ll show up with cameras and mics to ask those same questions – and more.

Thad, you really have proof that we lied about something?  By calling us “right wing” you’ve just separated yourself from the Conservative / Libertarian wing of the Party. You’ve told us that you are solidly in the Elitist section of the Establishment. And yes, there are and have been certain folks in that wing of the Party that have shown more kinship to Democrats than to folks like us.

Ride that broken horse as long as you can, Thad.

Game on.

Belknap County’s NH State Representative Attendance through March 9:

The median attendance of all Reps is actually 100%.

Anyone with attendance below 84% is in the bottom 20% of all Reps.

• St. Clair is in the worst 10%.
• O’Hara and Trottier are in the worst 5% of all Reps

Some details:

• Beaudoin missed all of 2/23.
• Bordes missed 2/22 after 12 pm, except for one vote late in the day, then had a weird voting record on 3/9 (details below).
• Dumais was out on 2/14 after 3:30 pm, and out all of 2/23.
• Nagel missed all of 2/14.
• St. Clair was out all of 3/9.
• O’Hara was out on 2/14 after 3:30 pm, all of 2/22 and 2/23, and on 3/9 after 3:40 pm.
• Trottier was out on 2/14 after 3:30 pm, on 2/22 after 12 pm, all of 2/23 and on 3/9 after 3:40 pm.

I mentioned the above to someone that I talked with early today and the response was “O’Hara and Trottier have such similar attendance that I wonder if they car pool.”

And Mike Bordes has a very strange voting record – even when he shows up, he’s not showing up:

Will have to go back and see which bills he skipped out on. Out of 29 votes, he took a walk on 35% of them.

Congratulations, Citizens for Belknap PAC, for giving up SUCH illustriative Reps…and I dryly note that those that this Democrat started, funded, and led Political Action Committee targeted to lose in November’s elections are showing up FAR better than those they supported:

Like Mike Sylvia, Norm Silber, and others? Was this on purpose?

 

The post Belknap County Delegation – Attendance Record So Far. Why Aren’t Belmont Residents Up In Arms Over Their Poor Representation? appeared first on Granite Grok.

At a recent meeting of the Tri-County Republicans, I learned that if Harry Bean, a State Representative from Gilford and Chair of the Belknap County Delegation, does not post three public meetings for the delegation (state reps from Belknap County), taxpayers are in danger of a 35% increase in county taxes.

We want to thank Hal Shurtleff for this Op-Ed. Please submit yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

Mr. Bean had a legal duty to post the budget meetings, and at a meeting on March 6, he was informed of this important duty. However, he and seven other Delegation members voted to approve the commissioners’ budget. Do they really care about taxpayers when they vote this way, especially when we have been hit with the highest inflation in decades?

Mr. Bean says he wants unity, yet when selecting the budget committee members, he voted to put freshmen representatives on this important committee. Due to this, we have five budget committee members with little experience in the county budgetary process and are witnessing the consequences of this action. In the best interest of Belknap taxpayers, some experienced members should have been appointed to help those who are new and inexperienced in the process.

Mr. Bean needs to adhere to the law, and re-schedule the meetings to discuss the budget, and it should be done sooner than later.

Democrats love them a peaceful protest, and to their credit, at least in New Hampshire, things have not gotten out of control. Not even during the BLM Summer of Love. But will Ron DeSantis coming to the Granite State be too big of a trigger for them to resist?

We’re excited to announce that our 2023 Amos Tuck Dinner keynote speaker is special guest Florida Governor Ron DeSantis!

This will be our biggest and most exciting Amos Tuck Dinner to date, and will be an event that you won’t want to miss out on. Tickets will sell out fast so be sure to purchase your ticket today!

The NHGOP is excited to welcome Governor DeSantis as a special guest for his first trip to the Granite State and we hope you can join us. Secure your dinner ticket today!

 

Nothing puts the fun in fundraisers like Democrats chanting lies that have been disproven to a likely national media presence of which I suspect we will be a part. I can’t be there – I have a previous engagement I am not allowed to skip – but I forwarded the event to Skip and asked him if he could score a few presses passes so we’ll have some local coverage.

As for Democrat protesters, we expect they will make their angry-narrow-minded presence known.

We chant the thing. We chant the thing.

I expect Don’t Say Gay to make an appearance even though the bill that inspired it says nothing about being gay, among others.

Gov. DeSantis has obviously accepted the offer to speak because of all the chatter about him running in 2024, and while DeSantis may not be your pick for President, he sends Libs, and Progs, off the deep end with a smile.

There’s value in that.

Anything that makes Democrats cry and whine and should and pout has value, so we look forward to the circus outside and in and hope to have some unfiltered coverage for you while it’s happening and after it is over.

 

Exit Question: How is potential 2024 candidate Chris Sununu taking this? DeSantis is killing him in early polling. Did they seek Gov. Sununu’s permission, or did the NHGOP and Chairman Ager just go and get Ron DeSantis? I can ask Chris, or he might tell me, but we’ll save that for later.

Joe Biden is late in proposing his budget for 2023, but that may be because it took a lot of time to add so many more ways to control our lives. Although the budget is a staggering $6.8 Trillion, the real story is how Biden and Democrats feel they need to be more involved in our lives.

This wing of our government does not think that people can make their own decisions. The Democrats want the power to control your life from the cradle to the grave. That is not freedom. That is not living as free people. That is living as puppets living by the whims of the ruling class. The Democrats may have avoided a red wave in 2022, but if they adopt this thinking, they may get drowned by a tsunami in 2024.

Biden’s focal point of his proposal is the bundle of new taxes aimed at the wealthiest people in America that he claims will bring in $5 Trillion over the next ten years and save Social Security and Medicare from insolvency. Below is a list of new taxes from Biden’s plan:

Proposed Tax Change10-Year Revenue in Billions of Dollars

Corporate and International Tax Proposals

Increase the corporate income tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent $1,325.8 

– Increase taxes on foreign fossil fuel income $1,160.6

Quadruple the stock buyback tax implemented in the Inflation Reduction Act from 1 percent to 4 percent $237.9

Increase energy taxes, including repeal of expensing for intangible drilling costs, percentage depletion for oil and gas wells, and a new 30 percent tax on electricity used for digital asset mining $36.5

Misc. business tax proposals $130.2

Individual and Pass-Through Business Tax Proposals

Raise the top statutory tax rate on individual income to 39.6 percent for single filers earning over $400,000 and joint filers earning over $450,000 $235.3

Create a 25 percent “billionaire minimum tax” to tax unrealized capital gains of high-net-worth taxpayers $436.6

Expand the base of the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) to apply to active pass-through business income above $400,000 and increase the NIIT and Health Insurance (HI) tax rates from 3.8 percent to 5 percent above $400,000 $650.3

Restrict contributions to IRAs for taxpayers with incomes above $400,000 $22.7

Make permanent the pass-through business loss limitation $71.3

Tax carried interest as ordinary income $6.5

Misc. individual tax proposals $24.5

Capital Gains, Estate, and Gift Tax, and IRS Proposals

Repeal like-kind exchanges for deferred gain worth over $500,000 for single taxpayers and $1 million for joint taxpayers $18.6

Tax capital gains at ordinary income tax rates for taxpayers with income over $1 million $213.9

Change cryptocurrency tax rules $31.6

Modify estate and gift tax rules including for valuations and trusts $77.5

Increase tax compliance and enforcement $13.7

Subtotal (Tax Increases) $4,693.6

Expanded Tax Credits and Other Provisions

Extend the ARPA Child Tax Credit expansion for one year, make the CTC fully refundable on a permanent basis, and create a monthly payment option -$429.2

Permanently extend the ARPA enhanced premium tax credits (PTCs) after they are scheduled to expire in 2026 -$183.0

Permanently expand the Earned Income Tax Credit for workers without qualifying children -$156.0

Expand the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and create a tax credit for rehabilitating homes in high-poverty neighborhoods -$103.8

Make the New Markets Tax Credit permanent and expand various tax provisions for work, education, and childcare -$23.4

Subtotal (Tax Credits) -$895.4

Net Revenue Increase  $3,798.2

Biden has not learned the lessons of the past. Taxing the wealthy will put the brakes on business growth, send businesses back overseas, cut employment, and possibly send a portion of this wealth into overseas accounts where it cannot be taxed.

This budget proposal is dead before presented, but it points out how little Biden thinks of Americans and success. He is setting up a fight with Congress, but to what end. It will point out to Americans the stark difference between Democrats and big government and the Republicans who believe in people and the freedom they want and deserve.

Not much good can be said about the publication Newsweek, but for reasons not yet clear, it has allowed an opinion piece by Scott Atlas to appear under its banner. Something of an almost apology, apology.

As opinion, Newsweek can distance itself editorially but also lay claim to the perception of balance. Look what we printed. And why not? Admitting there were mistakes surrounding the pandemic has become hip and stylish the way carbon offsets purchased from doggy offsetters allow you to emit massive amounts of CO2 and pretend you care for the planet.

It’s as if Newsweek has laundered an apology by proxy for bad behavior that it probably has no intention of changing.

 

Almost all of America’s leaders have gradually pulled back their COVID mandates, requirements, and closures—even in states like California, which had imposed the most stringent and longest-lasting restrictions on the public. At the same time, the media has been gradually acknowledging the ongoing release of studies that totally refute the purported reasons behind those restrictions. This overt reversal is falsely portrayed as “learned” or “new evidence.” Little acknowledgement of error is to be found.

 

His point is that the revelations they reluctantly share can be found (backed by experts’ commentary or actual research) on websites like this one from April or May of 2020 onward, depending on when the media and public health went to war with whatever it was. The distancing scam, the masking fraud, assaults on the first and fourth amendments, Hydroxychloriquine, mRNA vaccination mandates, passports, pandemics of the vaccinated, Ivermectin, sudden deaths, and so on.

The press and the public health industrial complex labeled most or all of it as misinformation or disinformation, with some politicians ready to fine or jail anyone who had a way around the Big Gov/Big Tech collusion firewalls built to prevent folks from seeing or hearing any of it.

Someone has decided that truth is far enough in the rearview to hazard some narrative building whose purpose is to create a historical backstop. Look, we published this thing about the thing (which we might as well call COVID narrative offsets). So, what else did they allow Scott Atals to say in such proximity to their masthead?

 

Here are the 10 biggest falsehoods—known for years to be false, not recently learned or proven to be so—promoted by America’s public health leaders, elected and unelected officials, and now-discredited academics:

1. SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has a far higher fatality rate than the flu by several orders of magnitude.

2. Everyone is at significant risk to die from this virus.

3. No one has any immunological protection, because this virus is completely new.

4. Asymptomatic people are major drivers of the spread.

5. Locking down—closing schools and businesses, confining people to their homes, stopping non-COVID medical care, and eliminating travel—will stop or eliminate the virus.

6. Masks will protect everyone and stop the spread.

7. The virus is known to be naturally occurring, and claiming it originated in a lab is a conspiracy theory.

8. Teachers are at especially high risk.

9. COVID vaccines stop the spread of the infection.

10. Immune protection only comes from a vaccine.

Dr. Atlas has the sense to call for investigations while admitting the likelihood they will not themselves be virtue signaling is low.

What benefit can we gain from the growth of this investment in covid narrative offsets besides a healthy I told you so? Almost no one appears in danger of judicial complications from the mRNA vaccine debacle though I still hold out hope the absence of proper informed consent has legal legs. That leaves us with the ammo dump of media rants, social and mainstream, by politicians and activists.

Bad judgment is not a sin, but when it endangers fundamental rights and lives while contradicting available truths, it could slow or stop political aspirations if appropriately directed and timely. Let’s call it Keeping Local Karens from Public Office.

Can we hope for more? Atlas calls for investigations, but Newsweek publishing that is not an admission but a bunker in which they wish to hide in hopes this will pass them by, but it can’t. The harms they aided and abetted could be with us for generations.

Can anyone say COVID reparations?

A few weeks ago, 70 state reps voted to end drug prohibition entirely and last week, 90 state reps voted to end prohibition on dimethyltryptamine (DMT)! Here’s the full video from the house floor featuring reps Jason Gerhard, Matt Santonastaso, and Jonah Wheeler speaking in favor of the bill, HB 216, which sadly lost 274-97. However, 26% is a good first try.

Clearly, younger state reps understand the urgency of ending the insane war on drugs and as the older prohibitionist reps die off and are replaced by free staters as our number and influence increases, we will be ever closer to ending the madness of drug prohibition in our lifetime.

Once again, the operative question: Who Watches the Watchers?  We know who our “Watchers” are – our readers. Smart, opinionated, know all the pertinent facts/issues – if we screw up, they’ll let us know.

And I am actually happy about that as we can’t know everything, and we readily admit it. We do know a lot, but there’s no way we can do it all.  We welcome it (unless you are like Thad Riley and Jeanne Dietsch, who just make stuff up because we are, at times, their ‘Watchers”) as they can’t seem to prove their verbiage that we are liars.

While most Groksters are registered Republicans, we do look at Republicans and hold them to account more often, and with much more rigor than Democrats (who seldom have only 1) your money is the Govt’s, 2) Unborn babies can be murdered with wild abandon, 3) Govt allocates “rights” when it feels like it, 4) none of you should own a gun because 5) we hate the Constitution and avoid it whenever possible. Sure, there’s other stuff, but those seem to be the main ones.

And yes, when Republicans start to sound and act like Democrats, and we find out about it, we are all good on applying the precepts of Accountability.

Politics is about keeping score. And since we’re here for the principles, not just the party, it behooves us to report on elected officials registered as Republicans who refuse to act like them. Republicans should protect free speech, association, and its public exercise. And yet there are those who will not.

-Steve Mac Donald (“Eleven NH Republicans Join Democrats To Protect Unconstitutional Buffer Zone Law“).

So thanks to Ed for quoting Steve and to both for winding me up for a quick post after getting that “trackback” that another site is using Ed’s post.  Go read both of them even if they are four years old (that’s what I get for searching on GraniteGrok – you never know what pops up now and then).

Note:

And yes, MANY THANKS to those who contributed to our February Fundraiser.  I have no idea what the final number is, but I DO know that one of the projects we’ve started is looking for a better search engine.  We’re talking with our webmistress, who brought up JetPack. I’ve done an afternoon eval, and it may work “good enough” to be far better than the basic WordPress one, so we may have her install the free version to get a feel for it and then go to the professional version if it works out.

In 1877 American Chester Greenwood patented earmuffs after inventing them at age 15. Tsar Alexander II was assassinated (1881), the US Adopted Standard Time (1884), in 1960, the Chicago Cardinals moved to St Louis, and in 1970 Digital Equipment Corp introduced the PDP-11 minicomputer.

In 1986 Microsoft had its Initial public offering, and the Blizzard of 1993 struck the Northeast US.

March 13th is K-9 Veterans Day. It is also Napping (day), Girls Win Day (depending on what you mean by ‘girl,’ I suppose), and good samaritan day. You could also celebrate L. Ron Hubbard, Ken (as in Barbie), being smart and Sexy, or opening umbrellas indoors.

So I read this press release from Chris Ager congratulating the House NHGOP for playing defense. In fairness, they did expand … ever so slightly … EFAs, which is not playing defense. BUT the NHGOP should be playing offense … because once Chris Pappas becomes Governor in 2024 they won’t be able to play offense.

What they could and should do is remove DEI from public education. More specifically, eliminate the DEI bureaucracy. The response, I’m sure, is: can’t do that because LOCAL CONTROL. My response to that: “local control” should not be used as a shield for anti-white racism, even when it is euphemistically described as Diversity-Equity-Inclusion. Additionally, DEI in reality is not a manifestation of local control. It is a manifestation of a permanent bureaucracy that is unaccountable and serves itself, not students and parents. In other words, DEI demonstrates that in reality there is no local control of public education in New Hampshire … just bureaucratic control.

A redo of the tainted results of the illegal Budget Review Subcommittee meetings due to them not being properly noticed at ALL as demanded by NH’s Open Meeting Law, RSA 91-A.

Sorry, dudes, dudettes, and duds, no can do. We on the Gilford Budget Committee accidentally did that a couple times over the almost ten years I was on it.  Both were truly accidental – and they were “Budget subcommittee” meetings as well in dealing with either the Municipal or School District budgets. Having recognized that mistake, what was the remedy that the Gilford Budget Committee came up with?

A complete do-over to ensure that we kept the Trust of our fellow townfolks and not be sued for doing the right things but doing them wrongly. We started from scratch as if those improperly noticed meetings had never happened. Everything was thrown out, new meetings scheduled and properly noticed, and apologies to the relevant department heads. It was called “Doing the Right Thing and Not Cutting Corners” even though we were under really tight deadlines. We made it happen and we made it work.

However, it looks like the Delegation is only concerned with meeting their deadlines and not Doing the Right Things, and it appears that they are willing To Cut Corners from a procedural basis to say “See, we did it!”.  Again I got this email several different ways and note that she BCC’d everyone this time instead of her previous practice of just doing a CC so that we, the Public, could tell who was in on this:

Good morning,

Because the Budget Review Committee meetings were not publicly posted, the Committee will have to schedule a properly posted meeting to ratify the action taken at the previous meetings. This should be done with enough time remaining in March to properly notice a Delegation meeting to follow through with last night’s agenda.

Once the respective chairmen set the meeting dates/times, you will be notified.

Debra

And not being publicly noted, those meetings WERE illegal.  So who made this decision to “ratify”?  Methinks it would have been Chair Harry Bean – he IS in charge, right?

This might well be the time to state that the NH Attorney General’s office has been contacted.  This oughta be amusing!

What is the legal rational for doing “a ratify”? WHO said it was legit to make believe that any results were still legal even as the meetings weren’t? Is there a new addendum Clause that was added to RSA 91-A called “We Can Ignore Parts Of the Law Because We’re Stupid And A Sham Is Better Than Doing It Right” when I wasn’t looking? That “slapdash” is now the standard we should expect from our County elected Representatives?

Did that “legal advice” come from County Attorney Andrew Livernois who previously (and publicly) couldn’t keep RSA 24:9-d from being mashed up with RSA 91-A by Chair Harry Bean simply to get a desired political result (throwing off a conservative Commissioner the Gunstock Area Commission to replace him with a wild eyed Progressive Feminist)? Methinks he KNEW his opinion was wrong when I challenged Livernois on it, he stopped responding in trying to justify his work/written advice (IMHO, at about the same level of rigor of “Dr.” Jill Biden’s Education doctorate thesis  that most academicians were “commenting” on it when it became a topic. I started to read it and realized how poor it was and gave up).

Who else were Harry Bean’s advisors?  We’ve heard this tactic recently from former Gunstock Area Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch when he said he was on firm legal ground because “attorneys” said he was – and then never revealed who they were.  Open and Transparent.  Oh yeah, like NH State Rep Steven Bogert just did, too.

What is this – the tactic du jour by embattled politicians?

I’m afraid they are going to get a rude awakening.

Oh, and if you are looking to attend tomorrow night to demand that the Delegation DO THE RIGHT THING IN FOLLOWING THE LAW but know that we’re getting a “lingering N’oreaster” starting tomorrow night, consult the BelknapCounty.gov front page first. It is showing that the meeting is still on but that might change.

Referring to oneself in the third person?  So the Belknap Delegation Chair of the Budget Review Committee who is the progenitor of the tactic to hide who he is communicating with via email concerning Public Information? Hasn’t Delegation Chair Harry Bean instructed these new folks on RSA 91-A strictures on what is or isn’t permissible.  Oh wait, HE doesn’t know either…

So of course I had a response – first by email and then, considering how egregious this antic is, a special edition of Skip’s Sauntering Snippets

Subject Re[2]: Right To Know demand for Belknap Delegation emails – NH State Rep Steven Bogart statement to use BCC feature of emails to hide email addresses

So who are the “Appropriate people that you stated that hiding the names of our public officials using the Blind Carbon Copy feature of emails?  You never stated, for the record, who they were.  We have no way to check the functioning of our Public Body with that tactic (and it violates a different part of 91-A).

How can the Public know that your “Appropriate People” are even  credible in this area?  Simply stating that phrase doesn’t make it credible.  So who are they?

Given the other issue Monday night, that the Chair, the Clerk, the County Administrator, and the Commissioner ALL said that the Delegation Budget Review meetings HAD been publicly notice but my Right To Know of Tuesday morning PROVED they lied (at worst) and misled everyone (at best), you should understand my reluctance to blithely show absolute faith and quell my suspicions floating around your statement.

I find it highly amusing that while Chair Harry Bean was excoriating NH State Rep Barbara Comtois during the meeting, attempting to make the issues her fault instead of his as Chair, she was proven 100% correct and he was wrong.  How do I tell, as a member of the Public, that this is not a second instance of the same tactic?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? 

Trust can take years to build; it can be lost in an instance (or during a meeting).  Are the four enumurated officials going to apologize to the public? Especially the Chair and the Clerk who rudely attempted to “punish” State Rep Comtois for asking the questions you didn’t like, and for which she was EXACTLY correct?

NH State Rep Bogert, she read you the Law in showing the intent of the Law – are you still holding her to be wrong?  If so, tell us who the “Appropriate People” are so we, the Public, can verify your assertion.

-Skip

You won’t find too many awards shows left that still give accolades to the best actor or actress, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences still does, and that triggers a lot of folks in the industry.

I can’t imagine any of them refusing an Oscar over it, but the Academy Awards might be ditching the practice as soon as next year.

 

“It makes sense for every awards organization that still uses it to scotch this outdated categorization,” The Times carped, adding, “… the categorizations don’t fit every performer. Prominent nonbinary performers including Emma Corrin … have argued for non-gendered categories to include those who don’t solely identify as male or female.”

The 96th Academy Awards in 2024 were already targeted by woke purists years ago; in September 2020, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced future eligibility reforms to the best picture category, forcing nominees to qualify by meeting “representation” standards among the crew of the film, at the film’s studio, or chances for training and advancement related to the development and release of the said film. A film could not be nominated unless it met two of the four standards.

 

There’s no reason for us to care, except that Hollywood still has an increasingly underserved effect on the culture. Influence it may not deserve. When was the last time a nominee or winner for best film was a movie you’d go and see for free, let alone pay? I can’t think of anything recent, but I’ve not watched the award show in decades. If it didn’t influence the culture, I’d have no reason to mention it.

Not that there’s anything I’m missing. A “trade show’ that hands out trophies to elite leftists (with few exceptions) and industry insiders is hardly a draw for average Americans. It used to be, but its divergence from normal America has resulted in an award for declining viewers. Many Awards are given off-camera now, leaving the supposed marquee stuff for the small screen.

If they want to take awards away from each other by combining actor and actress to “performer,” have at it, but it’s a hollow gesture.

Until you stop referring to the little gold statue by a man’s name, it’s just more virtue-signaling BS.

GREAT NEWS! – HB 154, relative to the adoption of public health ordinances by municipalities, passed the House this week and heads to the Senate!

 

Two Bills Head to the Senate Floor

Thursday, March 16th, N.H. Senate
Senate Floor Vote
SB 58, SUPPORT ITL, relative to arrests without a warrant while in the care of a medical professional on the premises of a residential care or health care facility. This bill lowers the threshold needed for a warrantless arrest in medical facilities. According to this bill, “actual or threatened violence” can cause warrantless arrest. While we appreciate the real issue regarding workplace violence in medical facilities, we worry reducing the burden of proof needed could lead to abuse. If a patient refuses to wear a mask, could they be accused of “threatening violence”? Additionally, it has been pointed out that it is inappropriate for a police officer to determine what treatments are medically necessary.

SB 272, SUPPORT OTP, establishing a parental bill of rights in education. There should be no secrets between schools and students.
