Editor: apologies for the late notice; we only just received it this morning.

The post Pro-life March for Life to Take Place Today – Sat, Jan 14 appeared first on Granite Grok.

A two-year-old girl from New Hampshire has been listed in the HHS Vaccine Adverse Effects Database (VAERS). According to the report on 12-15-22, she received a COVID-19 (Moderna) mRNA infection with a regular flu shot. She was dead on 12-16-22.

 

New Hampshire permits COVID-19 injections from 6 months up, and the state’s FAQ/guidance (local pdf copy here) claims they are both safe and effective.

 

 

To its credit, the FAQ does inform readers that there has been one death of a child in NH under the age of nine from a COVID-19 injection, but that does not begin to compensate for the other lies presented as facts.

Or that these lies have resulted in the death of a two-year-old little girl who, statistically – all other things being equal – had nothing to fear from any strain of COVID until she was over 60 years of age.

We offer our heartfelt condolences on the loss and hope that in its wake, Granite State parents consider seeking a broader range of opinions, including those of medical experts who have serious concerns about COVID vaccines and children.

My name is Ann Marie Banfield, and I am submitting written testimony on HB61, AN ACT relative to teaching on discrimination in public schools and discrimination in public workplaces.

As a parental rights advocate focused on academic excellence in education, I urge you to vote Inexpedient to Legislate on HB61. Bringing back the ability to discriminate against children in our public schools not only hurts the children who attend our public schools, but it also hurts public education.

We know public school enrollment has been declining in New Hampshire for several years now. Our focus should be on making our public schools better so families can continue to send their children to the local public school.  I focus on k-12 education and have seen numerous examples of the radicalized Critical Race theory taught in our public schools.

This political agenda caused parents across the state to challenge their local school board members to reign in this kind of hate and prejudice that was aimed at their teachers and children. The anti-discrimination legislation that was passed into law helped curb some of that discrimination.

Our children do not go to school to be shamed and blamed for events that happened during the time of slavery or anytime in history. But that’s exactly what has happened. Parents have come to me with examples of how their children were shamed and blamed for slavery. In one case, a New Hampshire mother had to console her young daughter, who blamed herself for slavery. This is not an education, this is child abuse, and it was happening in our public schools.

Here is a social media post from a mother in New Hampshire describing what her child expressed to her mother a few years ago before the anti-discrimination law was passed :

 

 

It is not ok to psychologically abuse anyone with that message. As a taxpayer who funds our local public schools, I do not want questioning, or even learning the history of this country will always remain an important subject. There are past events that need to be learned, so they are never repeated. But it’s also important to understand all of the facts. Facts that show the exceptionalism that led men like Abraham Lincoln and the abolitionists to use our founding documents and their religious beliefs to fight for the dignity of all men and women.

Parents are looking for truth, not for someone’s biased radical agenda that blames and shames students today for past events. Condoleeza Rice was interviewed on The View and disagreed with requiring white people to feel guilty for everything that has happened in the past. She mentions one of the most important features of CRT, which is the idea that black people have to feel disempowered.

Rice rejects this radical worldview and goes on to say that she wants black children to be completely empowered and to know that they are beautiful in their blackness.  But in order to do that, she doesn’t want them to make white kids feel bad for being white. Condoleeza Rice just summed up why the radicalized CRT agenda is wrong for students in New Hampshire.

This new radicalized discrimination divides children and pits them against each other for no reason other than their skin color. Anti-discrimination language affirms our civil rights, and that is a good thing.

In 2021, we saw an influx of radicalized Critical Race Theory training for teachers and the curriculum aimed at children in public schools. This came in under the umbrella of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice. It was so alarming to teachers and parents that many of them mobilized to affirm our civil rights through the non-discriminatory language that was passed in HB2.

We saw teacher training in SAU16 that described everyone as white supremacists if they believed in a colorblind society. We had New Hampshire parents assuring their children that they were not responsible for slavery after receiving a lesson in history that placed the actions of slave owners on their children.

These are violations of the Civil Rights Act, but parents and teachers do not want to have to take their school district to court. There are costs involved, and it can be a lengthy process, as we are seeing in SAU16 right now. The school districts have tax-payer funded attorneys at their disposal, so it can be a daunting task to spend thousands of dollars on a private attorney to fight for our basic civil rights.

Currently there is an ongoing lawsuit in SAU16 where a resident is just trying to compile documents to see how CRT was implemented in the school district. Residents already uncovered information that shows that they were planning to push more bias and prejudice on the students. The Superintendent is using tax-payer funded attorneys to fight against producing these documents. SAU16 has already spent roughly $10,000.00 to keep these documents hidden.

We do know that SAU16 purchased books for the students on anti-racism. Anti-racism includes the same toxicity as the radicalized Critical Race Theory we are seeing in k-12 schools.

For instance, in the book SAU16 purchased for 8th grade children, the author says that there are two identities that we all fit in.
You fit into the dominant culture if you fit into any of these identities:

1) White
2) Upper-middle-class
3) Cisgender
4) Male
5) Educated
6) Athletic
7) Neurotypical
8) Able-bodied

 

You are in the subordinate culture if you fit into any of these identities:

1) Brown
2) Indigenous people of color of the global majority
3) Queer, transgender, nonbinary, cisgender women, youth
4) Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, atheist, non-Christian
5) Neurodiverse
6) Those living with disabilities
7) Those living in poverty, and more.

 

A student or teacher must then determine which of those two boxes they fit in.

This is why Condoleeza Rice rejected the narrative of CRT that we are seeing in k-12. She disagreed with requiring white people to feel guilty for everything that has happened in the past. She mentions one of the most important features of CRT which is, the idea that black people have to feel disempowered.

Rice rejects this radical worldview, and goes on to say that she wants black kids to be completely empowered, and to know that they are beautiful in their blackness.  But in order to do that, she doesn’t want them to make white kids feel bad for being white. Condoleeza Rice just summed up why the radicalized CRT agenda is wrong for students in New Hampshire.

While this radical agenda in our schools may be wrong, the CRT/DEIJ/Anti-Racist agenda also violates our basic civil rights. Those rights were affirmed in HB2 with the anti-discrimination language.

Why would anyone think it’s ok to discriminate against any group of people based on their skin color? Why would we want to go backwards? Why would you not want to affirm the civil rights of all of the children and teachers in the public school system?

This kind of discriminatory behavior has been happening in many of the New Hampshire schools like Litchfield, Sanborn, Exeter, Hollis-Brookline, and Hopkinton, to name a few.

Parents set up websites, Facebook pages, and have objected to this discriminatory behavior at school board meetings. HB2 has helped those parents and teachers demand that their school administrators focus on academic achievement for all of their students.

Teachers are in a very difficult position speaking publicly, but HB2 helped them so they aren’t subjected to this kind of hate and prejudice in Professional Development.

It was David Ryan, Superintendent of SAU16 who admitted in a public meeting that they would have to change their professional development because of the anti-discriminatory law.

The professional development in SAU16 provided by 2Revolutions was questioned at a public meeting when someone asked about the Professional Development East Kingston teachers had to endure 1:22:29.

According to 2 Revolutions, teachers and children are covert racists and a white supremacists if they are:

Of the belief that we should be colorblind when judging someone Silent
Are white parents self-segregating in certain neighborhoods & schools
Live in an area where education funding is from property taxes
Supports the message of Make America Great Again
Denies White Privilege
Believes in Exceptionalism
Celebrates Columbus Day
Claims reverse racism
Assumes good intentions are enough
Believes : But we’re all one big human family….there’s only one human race.
This is the kind of professional development we have seen in New Hampshire Schools. This is not training that is focused on helping all students succeed academically, but training teachers to blame and shame their colleagues and the children in their care.

The teachers in SAU16 were subjected to professional development by 2Revolutions who was hired to work with the teachers. According to 2 Revolutions if you live in an area that funds public education through property taxes, you are a white supremacist.  That would mean that every resident in New Hampshire is a white supremacist, including all of the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. They then work on dismantling your inherent white supremacy. But if you look at this new world view, you can never dismantle your inherent racism. These vendors sell their anti-racist propaganda for profit to schools that are willing to violate the civil rights of the teachers and children.

There are many more examples I can share but I think you can see that this kind of destructive bias we saw in New Hampshire schools prior to the passage of HB2. This was damaging to teachers and children in our public schools, but more importantly, it was violating their civil rights. The children who are in the subordinate culture may then begin viewing themselves as abnormal and inferior just as Condoleeze described in her interview.

HB2 provided a way for parents and teachers to fight back against the prejudice aimed at them. They shouldn’t be used as a political tool by political radicals. Our schools should be focused on academic excellence and literacy in the core subjects. They should be nurturing children in kindness and compassion instead of the character assassination we’ve witnessed.

It’s unfortunate that some of our educators thought that this radicalized approach in our classrooms was ok. It is not– it violates our most basic civil rights. There are ways that teachers and children can learn the truth about history without this kind of psychological game being played on them, and it shouldn’t include discriminatory actions aimed at teachers and children.

For these reasons I urge you to vote ITL on HB61.

The post Honorable Members of the House Education Committee: appeared first on Granite Grok.

Do not insult the intelligence of the American people. The Queen of Gaslighting, Karine Jean-Pierre, repeats continuously that the President and his team are doing the right thing by turning the found classified documents over to the Department of Justice, absolving them of the original sin.

She knows if she says this enough times, the media will repeat it like trained seals, and the majority of the American people will forgive them. The red flag has been thrown on the play, and we are now reviewing the whole mess.

Let’s go with the President and KJL’s thinking. Sam Bankman-Fried bilks thousands of clients out of billions of dollars. He and his inner circle live the good life until the money is gone. He then walks into the closest police station and admits to his crime. He promises to cooperate and tells them how he spent the money but apologizes that it is gone. Sorry, but look, I am doing the right thing by admitting what I did. Are we good here? NOOOOOOO. You are guilty of sin and should pay for your crime.

Joe Biden is guilty of the mishandling of classified documents regarding some important foreign governments, and he has potentially harmed our National Security. There are far more questions than answers, and for a President who pledged to have the most transparent administration in history, he has pulled down the shades. Biden claims he does not have any knowledge of the contents of these documents. Then goes on to say they are not as many or as severe as Trump’s trove of documents. That thinking does not square. If you don’t know, then you cannot comment, period.

When Biden was addressing the matter on Wednesday, he stumbled, and nobody caught it. He admitted that documents were discovered in his New Jersey office, making it the third location. Where does it end? One question I cannot believe has gone unasked is if Biden does not know how the documents got into his home office, garage, and Penn-Biden office, then who put them there. We need names and answers, and they are not being asked or answered.

The locations matter. The Penn-Biden office had $45 Million donated to it by anonymous Chinese companies or people. What favors did the millions purchase for the Chinese, and did they have access to the documents? These documents have been there for six years, which leads to a lot of exposure. The documents found in the Biden Delaware home are troubling. Joe Biden refuses to log who visits him at his home, where he has spent nearly every weekend since being elected. He claims that these weekends are working periods, so who is calling on the President, and for what purpose? He claims the garage was locked, but that does not detail who may have had access to the garage and documents.

Joe Biden has repeatedly said that he takes the handling of classified documents seriously. Has there ever been spoken a more shallow statement? This situation and the money trail at the Penn-Biden office may be the anchor that sinks this damaged ship.

Well, this was more interesting than I thought it would have been. I figured that my previous post would have been a “capper” as in “the closing of a chapter”; write it, be done with it. I was wrong. A number of emails have come in over this but one came in that really showed the intent of what the takeover really meant. And this comment from Ronnie Abbot was amusing (from the post):

…but many of the 19 State committee members who were there to vote publicly denounced C4B the entire time. We all still would have voted for the slate that got elected. C4B had nothing to do with this change in leadership.

But the end result was that the Republicans who did vote that way were aligned with what the CfB intentions were – wipe out the Conservatives in the County. And no, Mr. Abbott CAN’T change my mind BECAUSE the desired end result was exactly that which was achieved. To the littlest jot and tittle. You voted for what CfB wanted, like it or not.

And one of the things that was CERTAINLY desired was a complete trashing of what the previous Executive Committee had put into place for governance – and that lasted for about 30 seconds as if that part of “The Rule Of Law” (e.g., the BCRC ByLaws) had never existed. They wanted what they wanted regardless of doing it the right way or not. Like it or not, those ByLaws existed. And these takeover Republicans are all about…what, exactly?

Emphasis mine – see if you get the pattern:

Hi Skip:

It’s worse:

1) Senator Lang attempted to have two positions added to the Executive Committee by election of State Committee Members. <it was> pointed out that this would require a change to the BCRC Bylaws. Elliot [Gould, Exec Dir of the NH GOP who was running the election] told Sen. Lang he would need to have the bylaws changed. [LOL]

Next – those State Committee members (aligned with the CfB and elected at the last meeting) decided that THEY were above “the Rule o Law” of the BCRC ByLaws:

2) The State Committee Members attempted to elect an EC Member at Large. <it was> pointed out that the bylaws specify that the Member at Large is to be elected by the General Members. Elliot removed their candidate from the ballot. [LOL]

Elitist, right?  No commitment to the “little people” who formerly made up the “legislative body” of the BCRC. We want to do what we want to do…like this:

3) After the outgoing officers departed, and so as reported, a motion was passed to make all Belknap Reps and Senators members of the BCRC, again in violation of the bylaws.

Just couldn’t wait any time at all. It’s like it was merely a mob rule meeting. To which I was not surprised:

 4) Two non-members (Lambert and Lange) were elected unanimously by the State Committee Members present to serve as officers, yet another violation of the bylaws.  Most egregiously, the State Committee members imposed Lambert upon the GMs —imposed because the GMs had just voted in November to expel Lambert from membership due to inappropriate conduct towards a female GM at the previous (i.e., October) County Committee meeting.

Brings back stories I read about what took place during the French Revolution. This likely is not a comprehensive list of astonishing irregularities. But these four stand out in my mind at this time.

“GMs” being the General Members that had applied for and granted into membership of the BCRC. They were (emphasis on WERE) the ones that must do the voting on other members – and were the ones that voted Lambert out of their midst. The “State Committee members” made it clear how little they place in them – as if they didn’t exist at all. Only the State Committee “Elite” matter and if it hadn’t been for the presence of Elliot Gould, they would have completely turned it into a “good ole’ boy playground mentality” completely. Like a bunch of elementary school ADHD boys, they couldn’t wait to do things the right way; they wanted what they wanted and they wanted it NOW.

So if I was a General Member in attendence on Wednesday, WHY would I continue to attend if I was just told that I’m not of any account at all?

Nice going, Hough and Lambert, for running your first meeting! Right in line with highest regard for the Rule of Law previously exhibited by these two along with Harry Bean (RSA 91-A, RSA 24). Great role models!

Somebody else wrote in to say that they believed that the attendance rate would mirror that of the Laconia Committee under Hough’s esteemed leadership. Given the disregard and disrespect shown to the General Members Wednesday night, I’m betting that prophecy will be wrong – it will tank FAR more quickly.

None of the chuckleheads that were trying to run things have ever learned something very important – loyalty is earned from the bottom upwards. When the top people (from Tim Lang downward) violate that precept and disrespect those at the bottom, don’t be surprised when no one is left at the bottom over time.

If rules can be made up on the fly and on any kind of whim desired, who is going to stick around to be treated in such a fashion?

The post Democrat PAC Citizens for Belknap Finished Its Take over of the Belknap County Republicans – Part 2 appeared first on Granite Grok.

Retract the funding for the 187,000 new IRS agents. Voting to repeal the IRS with the Fair Tax. Restricting sales of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China et al. Impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, Homeland Secretary, Build the Wall. Prohibit voluntary contributions to the WHO. Whole bunches of other stuff.

Meaningless drivel.  No, not that they aren’t important (at least some of them). Meaningless in that they aren’t going to go anywhere.  They are, for the most part, meaningless because neither the Democrat-controlled Senate nor the Democrat-controlled Presidency are going to take any action on them.  The Congress is only 1/2 of 1/3rd of our Constitutional Branches of Government.

No, they can do LITTLE in these circumstances. Yes, they can STOP a bunch of things as the House of Representatives controls the purse strings IF they don’t allow the Senate to try to do an end run around that Constitutional authority. They can STOP things by stopping the funding.

Ten years plus is a long time, however, and I’m afraid that many have either forgotten the lesson or never heard of it. We will shortly begin to hear the cries that we’ve heard before during the TEA Party movement!

“WE CAN’T GET IT DONE!  GIVE US THE SENATE!”

No, they couldn’t and yes, we did.  What happened then?

“WE CAN’T GET IT DONE YET!  GIVE US THE PRESIDENCY!”

No, they couldn’t and yes, we did.  What happened then?

They failed to keep their promises.  They were like the junkyard dogs that finally caught the car bumper and then stood there. Knowing that they had just been found out.

While in the minority-majority, they could pass ALL KINDS of things in the House. While in the minority-majority of the Senate, they could pass ALL KINDS of stuff.  None of the House stuff mattered because the Senate would kill it for them. None of the Senate stuff mattered because the President would veto it for them.

And then when we gave them the trifecta, they grew strangely quiet. To the point where they did little.

Because now what they did would have consequences. REAL consequences.

And they grew afraid. VERY afraid. They became the “Do Nothings” as they realized that now their votes could be used against them – especially after they had promised so much that they decided to do so little.

So we cashiered them all for not keeping their word and promises.

I see this pattern starting anew down in DC – a flurry of activity and bills flying out of the House. Sure, they are “keeping” their promises. But I wait for the entrieties to start: give us more, give us more. You’ll see, we’ll get it done.

Color me unbelieved – I’ve watched this before. Surprise me and my sense of unbelief may dissipate like the fog outside right now.

But I’m not going to hold my breath – too much in parallel is the history of the past unfolding yet again.

I don’t fault them for “doing” right now” – I just want to see it to its completion.  That’s why I’m not being a rah-rah guy right now.

Prove it to me after the 2024 elections when it looks like you SHOULD take over the Senate given the seats that will be up for grabs AND the Presidency.

And then don’t force me to walk away again as you act like a third-rate TV network running decades own reruns and wanting us to cover you with glory before you’ve actually accomplished anything meaningful.

We’re watching. Pitchforks are just waiting in the corners.

The post All These Republican Congressional Bills Are for Show – We’ve Seen This One Act Pony Before appeared first on Granite Grok.

Do you feel like you went down a rabbit hole in 2022? I DO! So, I consulted that wonderful childhood fantasy and adult farcical parody known as “ Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. Alice met so many wonderfully fanciful culprits : the grinning Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Queen of Hearts.

Seems as if this fanciful , farcical world was resurrected in 2022. The grinning Cheshire Cat, one of the greatest prevaricators in the history of fairy tales, is imitated by Joe “ The Numbskull” Biden. His motto is “ If it works let’s destroy it”. Then Alice stumbles on the “ Mad Hatter” and the “March Hare”. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , Mark Milley , resembles the “Mad Hatter”. Milley’s conduct in betraying President Trump to the Chinese Communist Party proves that Milley is mad beyond a reasonable doubt.

We want to thank Charles Bradley for this Op-Ed. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE
you would like us to consider, please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

There is a plethora of candidates for the “ March Hare” in the denizens of the deep state swamp. I choose to highlight Merrick “ the Betrayer” Garland , who scampers to every disgusting wish from the Cheshire Cat, probably resulting in the scurrilous and defamatory indictment of President Trump for “Making America Great Again”.

Finally, we have the “Queen of Hearts”. Lewis Carroll would agree that it is a real ghoulish choice for the title: Jill Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris. Each of them so richly deserves the title since each of them would gladly decapitate any conservative. The good news for Alice is she woke up from her nightmare before the Queen of Hearts could decapitate her. Unfortunately, our Nightmare will continue for quite a while.

The post Biden in Wonderland appeared first on Granite Grok.

This week, another piece of legislation was introduced in Committee to end Columbus Day. To make it indigenous people’s day (NH HB 180). In honor of, you guessed it, indigenous people who, as it turns out, are people whose ancestors were born here before yours.

As regular readers know, I’ve been nothing if not persistent in mocking this notion becasue,

No race of man originated in the New World. The residents of our continent came over water or crossed a temporary land bridge from Asia. Each wave of people had a different reason for making the trip.

 

Say it with me. North America has no indigenous people. Even less so than most of the world. What the Marxists claim is more accurately squatters’ day—a day to honor the conquerors who came before your ancestors.

 

Anyone who ever found their way to America came from someplace else. They arrived, declared all that they could see (and much of what they did not) theirs, and kicked whoever arrived before them to the curb.

 

If they could.

“Native” Tribes captured, enslaved, or killed other tribes as in every other corner of the earth. Mount Rushmore (for example) was only “recently” sacred Lakota land. They moved in and conquered the area (in the 18th century) at the expense and lives of those who were there before them, and it was business as usual until someone displaced them.

Those born here before us took slaves, tortured enemies, and even engaged in cannibalism (HT | NH Journal, for that link) and not a Colonialist “white supremacist” among them. So, we find ourselves in a contradiction. The Marxist stooges peddling the injustice of European conquerors want to celebrate the injustice of those who took the land by force from those who came before them.

 

The bill to end Columbus Day entirely and celebrate Indigenous People’s Day was filed by Durham Democratic Rep. Tim Horrigan, who made it clear he would not support co-existence — celebrate both holidays on the same day — as some have suggested in the name of compromise.

“I want there to be a [singular] holiday on the second Monday in October, and I want it to be named after the indigenous peoples,” Horrigan said.  “I want it not to be named after Christopher Columbus.”

 

So much for those bumper stickers people put on their Subaru Outbacks, but the idea of ‘no coexistence’ has a sincere ring coming from the mouth of a Democrat tied to a party with an agenda to end the ‘indigenous’ nature of American Liberty. It was born here too. It has had some not-so-nice bits, but they are not worse than what preceded them. What followed, however, was exceptional in human history.

The Left hates that.

They are a political party obsessed with a return to tribalism and faction and the violence that follows. To divide by any means to undermine this nation. And at no point after, should they succeed, will they argue in favor of honoring the indigenous ideology of the Constitutional Republic they worked so hard to displace.

You won’t even be allowed to talk about it.

As for Columbus Day, it should be a celebration of the journey to a new world. Not just the voyage that leads to the birth of a nation but that first “breath” of liberty experienced by every immigrant to arrive on our shores. A country like no other. And not one he would have imagined possible or even embraced. He seems more like Modern Democrats than our Founding Fathers.

Maybe that’s why they hate him so much.

 

 

The post Note to Dems: ‘Liberty’ is “Indigenous” to NH and America appeared first on Granite Grok.

The Biden administration has passed some huge spending bills in two years, and in the thousands of pages accounting for trillions of dollars were many line items that addressed the infrastructure.

We had a $1.2 Trillion package in 2021 labeled the Infrastructure Bill and a $1.7 Trillion Omnibus Bill passed in 2022. The Inflation Reduction Bill passed in 2022 has a sticker price of $500 Billion, but many experts say the actual cost will exceed $1 Trillion. Each of these bills included infrastructure expenditures, but instead of seeing progress, we are experiencing further breakdowns. Our country is showing tremendous aging signs, and we must pick up the pace to patch it back together.

The breakdown is on two levels, technical and physical. Instead of addressing the obvious concerns, this administration focuses on internet access for all and green energy initiatives. As they push to eliminate gas vehicles and gas stoves, little is done to bolster our electrical grid. We see blackouts and scheduled brownouts in states like California while at the same time banning permits for new gas filling stations. New York has banned gas appliances in all new construction but is doing nothing to address the increased demand for electricity created by the state.

We saw last fall the shortfalls of our shipping docks to efficiently move goods from ship to truck. The solution by Pete Buttigieg was to move waiting ships out deeper to sea so they could not be seen. Out of sight, out of mind, problem solved by Mayor Pete. The administration thought that increasing the operating hours of the ports to 24/7 would solve the problem, but truck drivers wanted nothing to do with pickups in the middle of the night. Last week, Southwest Airlines had a breakdown in its computer system, causing thousands of canceled flights. Buttigieg was quick to condemn Southwest for not upgrading its systems. This week, the FAA grounded every flight in the country for over four hours because of a computer system meltdown. Who will Buttigieg point the finger at this time? Himself!

Buttigieg has been in the news consistently since January of 2021. We should not even know who the Secretary of Transportation is but between his malfeasance on the job, his many leaves and vacations, and his abuse of private jets for travel, he has been front and center. When the Mayor of South Bend, his nickname was “Pothole Pete” because he could not even manage the road conditions in a mid-sized city. So let’s make him Secretary of Transportation. If not for Mayorkas, Pete Buttigieg would be the poster child for the Biden Administration’s Incompetence. If straight, he’d be gone but gay; he is untouchable.

There have been so many examples of the Biden Administration managing from behind that it is obvious there is no strategy for proactively improving our infrastructure. It started on day one when Biden declared war on oil and gas and has progressed with every wrong decision made, not on sound thinking, but on assuaging the green energy and climate change crowds. This way of governing is not working for Americans; you can feel the resistance growing stronger.

The change in attitude toward Biden is palpable. This week’s incidents with discovered classified documents in Biden’s offices and residences and the money trail from China becoming more evident, this Presidency is on the precipice of collapse. The media is backing off of its support for the faltering President. The fact that Kamala Harris is waiting on deck may be Biden’s saving grace. Maybe he wasn’t so crazy picking her after all!

When everything went to hell in Florida after Hurricane Ian, I didn’t see a lot of Priuses, windmills, or social justice warriors coming to save the day.

I saw diesel trucks, combustion generators, heavy tractors, fuel tankers and a whole lotta bearded good ol’ boys putting some of that “toxic masculinity” to work saving lives and rebuilding society. God bless the backbone of America: the hardworking men and women of the middle class!!

Or put it more succinctly:

When the proverbial hits the fan, nobody calls the pronoun people for help.

An injection that reduces fertility?  Possibly total birth control, and possibly permanently?

So the bigger question is: what’s in your kid’s vaccine?  I ask because, given the ABSOLUTE FAITH these anti-humans have that humanity itself is a threat to the earth, does anyone put it past them to put this into shots without telling anyone?  Remember:

New Sexual Fetish; Couples Getting Pregnant and Having Multiple Abortions – Summit News

There was another article I read a few years ago – don’t have the link – from the UK that discussed a survey of people that showed a surprising number of women used abortion sexually.  I remember one woman saying that she enjoyed unprotected sex and getting pregnant, and the sensations of being pregnant… but didn’t want a child so after a couple of months she’d have an abortion.  Then do it again.

 

 

What have I said abortion really is?

The post Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow appeared first on Granite Grok.

It’s almost March – the main month in which Town Meetings take place and the voters decide how their towns will be operating the rest of the year. Every single year, starting about now I get a couple of these “Petition Warrants” to be put on the Town Warrant.  The latter usage of “warrant” is the overall guide used by townfolk to decide budgets and other items that will guide the operation of a town in the next coming year. A “petition warrant” is something that one or more citizens in a town place an article onto the Town Warrant by having some number of like-minded people agree to do so.  In this case, to get rid of a bunch of eyeballs that vet budget numbers to make sure that no malfeasance, no mal-appropriations, no slush funds, and no double-dealings happen in town.

But there are always those that get upset that they keep getting thwarted from doing EXACTLY those things because Budget Committees are that last bastion between taxpayer monies and the spenders. I know this tactic well – it used to happen all the time in my hamlet (mostly because of pettiness, revenge, and seeking to get rid of obstacles).

And that’s the case here.  Along with the Petition Warrant, the email came with this (emphasis mine)

So some town leftists are angry that our Hudson town budget committee is calling out the school bd’s spending and are in a tizzy. Former school bd member Diane Lamothe submitted the “Abolish the budget committee” warrant article. I think they want an “appointment board”. Gee, I wonder why…

This February’s town/school deliberative sessions are going to be entertaining.

Ayup, they don’t want others seeing what special pet projects are to be funded without you knowing about it.  My reply was simple

I’ll post this up. Some of the Lefties tried to do this in Gilford a few years ago as well – it was handily defeated.

Make sure that you have folks lined up to speak against this AND make sure to have cameras on anyone speaking FOR this idiocy – I’ll put it up on GraniteGrok.

 

And thanks to Hudson (NH) former school Board member Diane Lamothe, the good folks of Hudson have to beat this latest effort off with sticks, tar, and pitchforks (emphasis mine):

Fiscal Year 2024
Warrant Article 22

Abolish the Hudson Budget Committee (by Petition)

To see if the Town will vote to rescind Budget Committee Section 32:14 of New Hampshire RSA Chapter 32 Municipal Budget Law previously adopted by the Town on March 11, 1941, to abolish the Hudson Budget Committee. Rescinding this subdivision as per RSA 32:14, V. will not prevent the Town from establishing an advisory budget or finance committee(s) as stated in Section 32:24.

Recommended by the Board of Selectmen 3-0

The text is here.

Generally, it is the “governing bodies” that highly dislike getting double-checked and when I’ve looked into situations like this, it generally ends up in dark corners requiring Big Flashlights as things aren’t necessarily what they seem to be.  I’ve just found that many people on such boards don’t like any checks on their activities at all.

And being in action since 1941 is a very long time indeed. So what’s changed?

And make no mistake – changing a Budget Committee from being one with “teeth” to being an advisory one means one and only one thing – they want to make said BudComm totally irrelevant and useless.

The Hudson townfolks immediately ought to be thinking “WHY?”.  WHY now?  WHY at this time?  What is going on in town, or the school district, as to WHY this is showing up? What major financial or other operational issue is about to get broomed or “put down”?

The post It’s Town Meeting Time Again in NH – Of COURSE, There’s Those That Wish to Cancel Budget Committees appeared first on Granite Grok.

Grokster Beth Scaer called attention to the NH Journal article about the (anti) Columbus Day bill, its recent committee hearing, and Dems’ shenanigans.  She also pointed out to those not in the know that Catherine Sofikitis is her State Rep. Let’s talk about Ward 7 for a moment, shall we?

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

Avalon Lewis, a black immigrant from Barbados, worked very hard door-knocking as a first-time rep candidate in said district.  He’s a good man and was well-received as per local comments I’ve heard.  So, what happened?  We all know by now that Nashua has 27 seats in the House and lost Ward 1’s Tom Lanzara, the only freshman, in a city-wide train wreck last November.

Sofikitis is as swampy as many of the Nashua swamp, and her antics are not new.  Last term, she cosponsored a bill along with the infamous Jan Schmidt and their ilk, raising the minimum wage to $22.50/hour.  I’ll step aside and let the Thomas Sowells and other real economists speak to that one for all of us.  Sofikitis is also vicious and nasty to anyone who disagrees with her, no matter how plausible their talking points are. Did you know she’s a registered nurse? It would give me pleasure to see the weaponized state police zip-tie her and haul her off to the county jail instead of the clear-minded, righteous, and innocent Terese Grinnell RN.

Now for Sofikitis’s most recent nut job comment:

“I want to be brutally frank. There is not one person of color on this committee — not one. Racism matters.”

If Ward 7 had voted correctly and sent Avalon Lewis to Concord and perhaps sit on that committee, well, you get my point.

The NH Journal article also mentions Rep HORRible, um, I mean Tim Horrigan.  His reputation speaks for itself.  Also, there’s Rep Peter Petrigno, who told Elliot Axelman and the Liberty Block that the NH9 deserved their arrests when the whole legislature was emailed a questionnaire on what should be done about that travesty.

And lastly, to flavor up this House matter, let’s talk about the Senate and its senior swamp rat, Lou D’Allesandro. He actually made a good comment contrary to the above mentioned reps supporting Christopher Columbus. Just last month, he was the one to nominate SoS Scanlan to keep his job. Is there a pattern developing from these two oddities?  Is D’Allesandro Concord’s own Senator Manchin?  I won’t hold my breath, but as Nurse Terese would always say that nursing protocol often calls for “watchful waiting.”

The war on Ivermectin is proving to be costly for the Vaccine Extremists. While Vaxx side effects continue to harm or kill Americans, another study on Ivermectin demonstrates what we’ve all been saying all along. Unlike The Jabs, remdesivir, or Paxlovid, Ivermectin gets results.

Related: The FDA Does Its Impression of King Henry II: “I Never Told Anyone to ‘Kill’ Ivermectin!”

Put another way; it is both safe and effective.

 

The study conducted in 399 participants met its primary efficacy endpoint with a reduction of 72% of COVID-19 infection in the group treated with daily oral administration of ivermectin compared to the placebo group

Ivermectin administered for 28 days demonstrated acceptable safety and tolerability without any unexpected safety signals

 

Ivermectin has long been FDA-approved as a licensed drug for people. Off-label use has always been permissible ad at physicians’ discretion. The FDA and the rest of the Public Health Industrial Complex didn’t have to do anything, but they chose to get in the way. The FDA deliberately led a disinformation campaign picked up by local and national media to smear the product and drive people away.

Related: COVID, People of Color, and Look How Well Ivermectin Worked In Africa!

The side-effect of that (emphasis mine)?

 

If we are to believe official numbers, about 1,121,000 people died of Covid in the USA. Given published effectiveness estimates of Ivermectin coming from honest studies, Ivermectin could have saved eight hundred thousand of those lives. The intentional suppression of Ivermectin cost us so dearly.

 

Seventy-two percent of 1.12 million is roughly eight-hundred-thousand, and we’ve shared higher recovery rates with Ivermectin in other studies.

The list of those complicit in this (intentional or not) is nearly endless, from the White House to Congress to newsrooms and public health officials to your rank-and-file Democrat street mouse.

They sold COVID as a death sentence when for many, it was the political response that ended them. The treatment protocol was deadly. The privilege of off-label use stripped from doctors whose jobs were threatened by state boards and hospitals was deadly. Pharmacists that were warned by licensing boards not to fill prescriptions or else was deadly.  The mRNA vaccines have proven deadly and more likely to result in infection.

It was pure politics, right alongside the unjustified pillorying of Hydroxchloroquin, so that the FDA could pretend it had the authority to issue the EUA on the “fast-tracked” mRNA vaccines peddled as the only hope.

But both medications were safe, cheap, licensed by the FDA with human doses, well-tolerated, and had a few rare mild side effects. They were widely available at the beginning of 2020. Promoting access would have shown their efficacy early on and saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the US and millions globally.

No one would have had to suffer or die from COVID vaccine side effects.

Trump would probably still be president, something neither China nor US Democrats wanted. And Death as a by-product of political action is called what again?

Not ironically, it is called, Democide.

Twenty five States have now become Constitutional Carry States. More are “shall issue” States – unless otherwise adjudicated to be a “prohibited person”, Government MUST allow you to exercise your Second Amendment Right.

And this bad guy found out that when more people CAN, they WILL (emphasis mine):

THERE ARE SOME PARTS OF GEORGIA THAT I WOULD NOT ADVISE YOU TO ROB: Armed citizens foil robbery attempt.. “When a customer saw 39-year-old Shawn Sutton pull a gun on the clerk at the Ideal Mart in Ellijay, he pulled his own weapon. A second customer then retrieved his gun from his vehicle to assist, and both were able to disarm Sutton. When he tried to escape, a third customer pumping gas came inside with his gun and all three were able to hold him until police arrived.”

Emphasis added. The Police Chief:

“Six minutes can be forever, and these citizens that we have here are self-reliant and decided they’re not going to be victims. And fortunately, they were able to assist us and help us in a way that didn’t put anybody in danger.”

And reader John Steakley writes:

“At this point my only question is whether anyone in Gilmer County is NOT armed.” Maybe a couple of folks who’ve recently moved from California.

Refuse to be a victim. Take charge of yourself, your family, your friends, AND those around you. It doesn’t mean that you will be successful – but that attitude CAN save your life. I’ve been told that criminals and those looking for easy prey can suss out when they might be chewing off more than what they want simply by the way someone is carrying themselves.

I’ve never been physically accosted but I have been challenged by younger men thinking I might be an easy mark.  Staring back, especially in public, lets those kinds of people that they may well win but it may well cost them more than they think. They very well may not want that risk.

As Robert Heinlein observed: An armed Society is a Polite Society. That should rather self-evident. What the above told me is that when aggressors wish to bully they may well need to understand that those that refused to be bullied will end up with friends even if they have no idea who they are.

There is one thing that the Left may well NEVER understand of the People of the Gun.  We aren’t gunslingers and we aren’t swaggering fools trying to compensate for whatever stupidity they can think up. It ISN’T just about a Right which is about all they see – if they see any “rights” in the first place.

It’s about Responsibility. Rights REQUIRE self-responsibility. I don’t carry to make myself feel good about myself. I carry to protect – defensively. Not offensively. I’ll be quite happy, when my time on this mudball is over, to never have had to draw my weapon except to put it safely away from the Grandson at the end of the day who is too young to have such Responsibility.

The post Second Amendment Happy Ending – Thrice! appeared first on Granite Grok.

The State of Maine has a climate science dashboard. An official repository for climate fearmongers and their water carriers. I stumbled on it after reading a story about scallops endangered by rising sea-water temperatures.

Is it supposed to be funny because it looks like a joke?

They have plots that include computer model projections. The ones that have been wrong since the Cult started using them. This one claims to show state-wide temperature trends and projections. It looks like this.

 

 

It looks scary, and there has been a long trend of rising surface temperatures in Maine, but it peaked in 2010, just a few years before the end of the last solar maximum. For the past twelve years, the trend has declined.

 

 

It might be temporary, but with CO2 concentration continuing to rise a decade-plus long decline – which happens to match the national and global trend – matters, especially when you go back and look at the model projections out to 2100.

Nothing there begins to adopt what has been going on in recent years, probably becasue the driver of the model is CO2, and there’s no evidence the two things are connected. They are not. There is evidence that following spikes in CO, the earth endures cooling. No one argues that we’ve entered a solar minimum, though there is debate about the sort and duration.

To that point, we should also take note of the map of Maine with these scary temperature rise figures.

 

 

Those numbers are based on the 1900-2000 average temperature trend. As we’ve pointed out, recent data suggests the winds are changing. And while an actual 100-year average (1922-2022: 40.7 deg F., not 40.1) still results in Maine warming, it provides a more realistic look at trends and suspects as drivers.

You don’t have to be a climate scientist to figure it out. The Climate Cult has been suppressing research that suggests the current solar minimum may be a grand minimum. They are unwilling to brook dissent on any terms but their own to control the narrative. And by doing this, they hope to advance a specific controlling and limiting political agenda with no evidence it can reduce anything but comfort and prosperity.

I don’t expect Maine to adjust their model to account for new factors. Democrats run the place. They are no different than the Maldives, who, upon discovering the global clamor about sea level rise, did everything in their power to get billions in foreign aid to help their island nation. They got a lot of help, including a few more highly-rated island resorts from which to milk tourists and taxes.

Maine is as motivated by truth or science as the Maldives.

The perception of crisis creates the potential for more money, and they don’t care what printing it does to the US economy or the people of Maine. As long as they can hand some of it out like candy-like the recent heating assistance money few, if any, would need if they hadn’t meddled in the energy sectors- it’s all good.

Bread and Circuses. Or maybe we should say graft and climate models.

So yesterday the U.S. House passed the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act,” 220–210. Only one Democrat, Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas, voted in favor of the bill. New Hampshire’s Governor-in-waiting … Chris Pappas … voted against; that is, he voted in favor of INFANTICIDE.

But you won’t find a mention of this on the NHGOP’s twitter. Because the so-called “leaders” of the NHGOP are pathetic cowards hiding behind pablum such as “we are a prochoice State” … or as soulless as the Democrats.

Pappas gets away with calling himself a “moderate” … in part … because the NHGOP lets him get away with it.

BREAKING: The House has passed a bill that requires doctors provide medical care to babies that survive an attempted abortion.

Every Republican voted Yes.

Every Democrat voted No except two, one of whom voted present. pic.twitter.com/a1HWs746j3

Well done! While I was at the Selectmen’s meeting last night, the Belknap County Republican Committee held its January meeting and all went according to Gary Kiedaisch / Democrat Brian Biehl’s plans, In a standing-room-only crowd at the Gilford Library of about 16 people, as expected, Gregg Hough was elected chair, Doug Lambert (awaiting two hearings, one civil and one criminal, on his alleged assault of a female) was elected Vice-chair, some guy, not Tim Lang but “Lange” was elected Treasurer, and Priscilla Bean was re-elected as Secretary).

Once Elliot Gault, of the NH GOP, concluded the election (only one slate of names was offered before the meeting from what I was told), the very few people in the room got up and left. “Nothing left to see here”.

Congratulations – the CfB turned a consistently thriving and packed room of attendees month after month to being a pile of rubble last night. As is typical of this kind of of thing, it was deliberately hollowed out from the inside out. Hough now presides over a Potemkin Committee.  And from what I’ve been told, he’ll end up doing a BANG up job like he did with the Laconia Committee.

I was asked to attend by a couple of people – I refused. Let them have their titles and backslapping each other. The people that used to pack the place have already made it clear that they aren’t returning.

A Pyrrhic victory.  Well done.  You destroyed the village in order to save it.  Except the point was to never save it in the first place.

Just like the Democrats wanted.
