Banning Gas Stoves, Dogs and Cats, Living Together, Mass Hysteria …

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-01-12 19:00 +0000

Two days ago, which is forever in internet time, we covered the attempt to ban gas stoves for cooking and connected funding for the study to a gas-banning green group. The story has quickly evolved and been exposed even further, and I’d like to get you up to speed.

Related: Report Motivating Feds to Consider Gas Stove Ban Funded By Green Group Committed to Transition Away From… Natural Gas

First, there is the full-court press that follows a progressive political-machine-driven agenda item. Out of nowhere, the usual suspects are decrying the ills of gas cooking.

 

 

But wait! Lots of Lib experts, including AOC, love to cook using gas.

 

 

And it’s okay for them to do that because there is no evidence that what the gas-hating NGO-funded report says is true.

 

 

As it turns out, RMI, the company we outed on Tuesday, is part of something called Carbon-Free Buildings, and they are partnered with the WEF, and a goal to eliminate all emissions ‘cuz reasons.

Reasons that have been unraveled and exposed in a matter of two days.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission cited as considering the ban earlier this week has not just walked back but run from any speculation that it could or would ban gas stoves. What Commission Chair Trumpka Jr has been intimating isn’t even on the table.

 

But the head of the CPSC, Alexander Hoehn-Saric, said on Wednesday that the agency had no such plans.

“I am not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so,” Hoehn-Saric said in a statement to Bloomberg on Wednesday, just a day after discussions of a ban set off a flurry of reactions on both sides.

Hoehn-Saric added that the Commission—made up of just four members—was researching emissions from gas stoves.

 

So, why did Trumpka Jr. even say anything?

 

[T]he principal oversight committee of the House of Representatives, asked the Commission to turn over documents and information “about the CPSC’s failure to establish safety standards and provide adequate warnings to consumers addressing the significant health risks posed by indoor air pollution from gas stoves.”

 

My guess is that a Democrat lead congressional committee pushed for action on the inaction months ago, probably based on the desire of the WEF, which then prodded RMI to create a report that would make the CPSC look like slackers who could then deliver the biased research as evidence for banning a product with no previous history of harm because if fits their war on fossil fuels.

A war that ends with the rise of an electric-only world that will deliberately be ill-equipped to meet demand. It is a world where depopulation advocates will get more of what they want, which is fewer of us.

Does a Town Have the Right to Determine Its Own “Character”?

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-01-12 17:30 +0000

Last night I went to the Selectmen’s meeting at the urging of a couple of friends. We live in a “resort” town on Lake Winnipesaukee and it seems that our village has, these last two years, been overrun by out-of-town corporations buying up homes by the dozens.

In part, to be truthful, in taking advantage of the run-up in the value of house stock during the pandemic: prices skyrocketed here in town, and my home’s assessment soared along with everyone else’s. Opportunities galore for flippers that bought houses, did a bit of fixing up, and then sold them at a quick profit.

Then there were the other types of investors – or as one of the Selectmen called them, “distributed hotels.”  LOTS of our housing stock got snapped up by those that were looking to cash in on weekly/monthly rentals to out-of-staters. Enough such that noise, rowdiness, rudeness, and “entitlement attitudes” have become a big problem and it all got “centered” last night around the town’s beach.

You see, it used to be a “residents only guests” beach. Then more liberalized “guest” options at much higher costs started a few years ago, whereby commercial entities like hotels could pay some big bucks so that their guests could fill up the parking lot of our small beach and essentially take over the nature and character of the beach. Where before everyone knew everyone else and it was “THE” place for townfolk to bring their kids for a day in the sun, it became “THE” place for out-of-towners to bring THEIR kids to the beach and couldn’t care if they ticked off the locals.

Tempers have risen, patience run out, and last night the Selectmen’s meeting became a Lion’s Den, and guess who was on the menu for dinner?

It turned out that there was a conflation of two things at the same time – the 1700 square foot (+/-) bathhouse/lifeguard/concession stand needs upgrades, but the Selectmen were putting out a warrant for over a $1,000,000 dollars to raze it and rebuild at prices from $300/$600 a square foot.  I, of course, blew my stack like always because Gilford must ALWAYS spend top dollar for the newest “Ta Mahal” to do better than the next set of Jones’s around the lake. And then STILL have to pour more money into the buildings because they can’t build anything right the first time (e.g., the Town Hall, the Fire Department, the Police Department, problems with the school buildings – but we’ve got a GREAT “sugar shack” for maple sugaring for the kids!).

I’m a software engineer, not a civil engineer, and it has been a few years since I was on the budget committee, but I’m tired of the “we can’t just make do attitude when a Caddy does well” attitude. A $1M bucks? Most of it going for the new commercial kitchen that would only be used a few months out of a year. Costing tens of thousands of dollars when the current “lease payment” by the vendor is only $500 for the summer?

Screw that, I told them. Raze the concession stand, stabilize and extend that pad for three food trucks, redo the electric connections, so they don’t have to run generators, and let THEM carry the cost of the commercial kitchen equipment instead of forcing townfolk to pay for it.

And as far as the “far from being up to code” plumbing and the rest of the electrical wiring are concerned, rip it out and replace it all. The “building’s bones” are still decent. And figure out a different way of doing the waste plumbing, so you don’t have to jackhammer the pipes out of the concrete floor.

And how DARE you start throwing numbers around and THEN tell us that there might be asbestos in that floor that has to be mitigated.  You should have done that FIRST to get a better estimate unless you, once again, do the normal business in the town of “well, we forgot about this, that, and the other things.”

I’ve lived here in town for almost 40 years. I’ve just about seen all the tricks, chief among them not taking care of the buildings in the first place to make it mandatory to replace them.

NOW, the conflation part: WHY bond $1 million just so that the AirBnBers/VRBOs get most of the benefit as we locals get crowded out of what used to be the town beach?

And that set the stage for the second part of the meeting – a complete redo of the beach passes.

I’ve already gone long here but suffice it to say the locals are revolting over this, and the Selectmen have gotten the message (after all, a politician’s first job is to get elected, and after that, their newer first job is to get re-elected). The one most at risk went through a history of “how’d we get he-yah from they-ah?” and concluded that a reset was needed (with no words to the contrary from the other two Selectmen).

That reset was to return to the days when a resident could buy a day pass for friends/relatives from Town Hall, drive to the beach, and show the beach attendant, “the next car is with me,” and both get waved in.  No more “hotel/AirBnB/VRBO” passes.

The idea was to NOT penalize locals who were taking a week or two vacation and decided to rent out their homes for that time period – after all, they LIVE HERE FULL TIME. Ditto renting out a room/suite/ADO (think in-law appt building).  No one has a problem for instance, with me having my son down from Colebrook with his family coming to use the beach that he grew up on as long as I am with them (or my other son from Maine). The idea and emphasis are that local residents will start being responsible for their guests personally and not in absentia.

Sure, there are some locals that “cashed in” on this STR (Short Term Rental) craze, and this made more than a few people rather angry.

Too bad. I got angry at those “not from he-yah” causing a ruckus and upon me asking them to tone things down a bit, being haughtily told, “WE PAID OUR MONEY, AND WE’RE ENTITLED TO BE HERE!!!”. And it turned out I was far from the only one.

And thus providing the point of the issues and making residents no longer feel welcome at their own town beach.

Once the video goes up, I’ll update this post (or a new one) – this isn’t over by a long shot.

After all, the Selectmen have not created a problem for themselves over the warrant and the timing of the Deliberative Session…

[Update] A Second Cache of Unauthorized Classified Docs Found in Biden’s “Possession”

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

It’s been one of those days. No one is writing (yet), so you’re stuck with me.  Even I am getting tired of reading what I have to say about this or that or the other thing, or the other (other) thing. But here we are.

If happens. Not often. But we’ve entered the post-election, post-holiday dearth. It’s a darkened landscape in mid-January when folks get into a funk. They begin to drop the New Year’s resolutions they made. Hey! There was drinking involved. You can’t hold me responsible for that. Flossing every day? That’s crazy.

Still shaking off the Holidays. It’s cold out.

But the endless news cycle demands our attention and look! Biden’s Classified Document closet at a Penn State-sponsored Biden Stink Tank has company. As a primer,

 

The original batch of recipes and photos of the grandkids (except for Hunter’s bastard) as stated were “discovered” at the Penn Biden Center. Here’s something strange, the Center received a gift of over $54 million from some Chinese businessmen who are directly linked to the Chinese Communist Party.

“Those documents are reported to contain U.S. intelligence memos and briefing materials on Iran, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom, though it is unclear what exact information is covered.”

 

Nothing to see here, so what interest would anyone have in a second “trove” of classified documents extracted by then Vice President Biden except that he was probably working as a spy for Communist China?

Naysayers, opponents, enemies, and other Democrat near-do-wells will squawk, but these are the same people who said the COVID vaccines were Safe and Effective when Pfizer, the FDA, Moderna, and the CDC all knew that was a lie.

Take it for whatever it’s worth. That and the bit about China donating millions to the Penn Biden Center for espionage Pooh Bear-Like Thinking. Money well spent.

And here’s some more news lifted from Ace of Spades HQ; links to Biden’s crime family business (while we wait for them to discover another trove of docs).

[Update] Biden also had classified documents at his home in Deleware in a box in his garage.

 

  • “The timeline suggests Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate Biden’s 2024 presidential political opponent for allegedly mishandling classified documents while potentially knowing Biden had allegedly committed the same violation.”
    Merrick Garland Named Special Counsel to Investigate Trump, Not Biden, Two Weeks After Biden Classified Docs Discovered
  • “Aides to [so-called quote-unquote “president”] Joe Biden have reportedly found at least one other batch of classified documents stored at a different location than Biden’s private Washington, D.C., office where classified papers were found last year.”
    Review of Biden Spaces Turns Up Second Batch of Classified Docs: Report
  • “He has said he doesn’t know what is in them,” Jean-Pierre said. “So, there’s no way for me to talk about the documents if he has said he doesn’t know what’s in them.”
    White House Pleads with Reporters to Avoid ‘Confrontation’ Over Biden’s Possession of Classified Documents
  • Easy access? I’ll say it right here: Biden passed them on directly for cash. If he’s too demented, one of his insiders did it because they are bought and paid for by the Chi-Coms.
    Donald Trump: China “Probably Had Easy Access” to Biden’s Classified Docs
  • “You can’t go to a movie theater and get projection as expertly perpetrated as today’s Democrat Party offers.”

  • “Donald Trump’s greatest antagonist on mishandling classified documents himself mishandled classified documents.”

Abbott and DeSantis Winning – New Dem Talking Point: “America” Can’t Take Unlimited Asylum Seekers

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-01-12 14:30 +0000

There’s a new narrative in town, ladies and gentlemen. It’s about the border crisis everyone on the Left has been avoiding. And just in time as Joe ‘Border Security’ Biden just went near the southern border on a three-hour fact-finding mission.

Unconfirmed reports suggest he found ice cream and whatever words were prepared for him to read, followed by or in tandem with a premier Dem propaganda outlet suggesting what, before this week, was considered racist and xenophobic.

 

MSNBC’s “All In,” host Chris Hayes  … said, “It seems clear there is a real capacity issue, right? This is not an invention of Fox News or right-wing propaganda that the number of people presenting for asylum exceeds, in many cases, both what the current immigration system can handle and then what social service agencies on the border can handle and even as they’ve departed to places across the country from Denver to New York City, wherever, have been struggling to handle.

 

Democrat Senator Chris Murphy was also on the program, so he and Hayes could tag-team the new narrative.

 

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) stated that the United States can’t take an unlimited number of asylum seekers, even though “there are many in my party who don’t want to admit that,” and the U.S. will have to limit the number of people it grants asylum to, encourage applicants to do so from their own country, “and then, frankly, turn those who don’t go through that process back around.”

 

Dems forced to tolerate the extremist Republican majority in congress have a green light to repeat this talking point alongside others (like how there IS a humanitarian crisis at the border) in a run-up to some sort of deal on border security.

It is a deal that is only even being considered becasue Republicans continue to relocate “asylum seekers” to Democrat-run sanctuary cities, which have announced they can’t take it anymore.

In other words, it is not the problem at the border. It is Republicans sharing a fraction of the problem with open-borders ope-arms Democrats screaming at Democrat members of congress to step up and help them save face.

MSNBC is just doing its part.

I wonder if it will work.

Moderna, The FDA, And Some Mice Walk Into a Bivalent Booster Drug Trial …

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-01-12 13:00 +0000

There are plenty of jokes we could tell related to the not-so-new bivalent booster that continues to be advertised. How the Biden Administration spent five billion dollars so you could get it for free. Over 48 million Americans took them all up on the offer, and it seems the joke is on them.

Related: FDA: Those Bivalent Boosters May Not Work, So Let’s Stick Them in Infants …

This new and improved mRNA injection got rubber-stamped by the approval committee based on immunological data from mice. You may have heard. It resulted in a significant increase in available antibodies. The FDA Committee was so impressed that they approved it and then backed it again for infants.

It’s been injected into over 48 million people, and now the FDA Advisory Committee is upset. All the mice got COVID.

 

Turns out that all 10 of the bivalent-boosted mice got sick and had significant viral counts, not only in the noses but also in the lungs.

The only claim to fame here is that the Ba.5 boosted mice got fewer viral particles IN THE LUNGS.

However, all mice, boosted or not boosted, had plenty of viral particles IN THE NOSES. So all these boosted mice were great potential spreaders of the covid infection.

 

The FDA Committee seems to have decided that reducing lung particles in sick mice was a winner. And sue, depending on what you think winning is, that’s probably true. Igor Chudov reports that Bivalent boosted human test subjects are 68% more likely to catch COVID than those boosted but not with the Bivalent.

The reports on the mouse study suggests that those extra infected are also excellent super-spreaders, so the real-world clinical results are great if you are trying to spread it but not so much if you claim this would improve health outcomes.

The FDA Advisory Committee is circling the wagons.

 

“I was angry to find out that there was data that was relevant to our decision that we didn’t get to see,” said Dr. Paul Offit, a member of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, a group of external advisers that helps the FDA make vaccine decisions. “Decisions that are made for the public have to be made based on all available information – not just some information, but all information.” …

 

But but, wait for it!

 

The six FDA and CDC advisers interviewed by CNN said that this infection data wouldn’t have changed how they voted, because the data had such limitations, but it still should have been presented to them.

“There should always be full transparency,” said Dr. Arnold Monto, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and acting chair of the FDA advisers’ group. “These data should not be dismissed. They are early, but they indicate that we need to look at them and see what their value is.”

 

I dont know about the FDA but the public whose health they are charged with protecting needs its own advisory committee with oversight over the FDA and it’s advisory committee. I mean seriously. “The Internet” has done more relevant and accurate work on everything COVID since the politicians announced lockdowns. And looking back they got a lot more right than anyone inside the system meant to watchdog in the interest of public health.

But then health was never the goal. The CDC is only know admitting that things went sideways early and side-effects could prove troubling.

Why are they even admitting it? Why is the FDA Advisory Committee saying oops, we did it again?

Millions will or have been harmed, up to and including death and that’s no joke.

What are they planning that requires the mea culpas as cover to claw back some sliver of credibility?

BANANAS: Predictions for 2023

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-01-12 11:30 +0000

2022 is a year that will be as difficult to remember as it was unforgettable.  Day after day and week after week this crazy trip around the sun seemed to one-up itself with news of the absurd at a dizzying pace. 

Where once the Florida Man seemed to have cornered the market on insanity, the entire country decided to get in on the action.  Some of our favorite memories include:

  • Donald Trump threatens all of humanity by his very existence
  • The rise of the Karen’s / A How To
  • Women, like Pluto, are jettisoned from the history books
  • Kids celebrate as their parents are finally recognized as terrorists
  • Brandon, VT has to go / Bananas Attempts To Find Brandon
  • The Slap Heard Round the World Part Deux
  • Elon Becomes the Biggest Twit / Considers Hostile Facebook Takeover
  • “Conspiracy Theorist” Once An Insult Now A Compliment / My Story
  • President Biden Asks Satan For Help In Time of Crisis
  • Vermont: The Land of Steers and Queers
  • VT Daily Chronicle Hits Record 1 Million Views! While Rest of Media Tanks

This list isn’t as exhaustive, as it is exhausting.  Humanity seems to be playing chicken with stupidity at a record pace while on a collision course with A.I.

This can’t possibly end well unless you own stock in Black Rock or bank with J.P. Morgan Chase. However, despite the looming apocalypse, here are a few of our top predictions for what’s to come in 2023:

 

  • Crime in Concord will reach a fever pitch forcing police chief Bradley Osgood to enlist a citizen security force who will become known as The Osgood Slaughterers.
  • New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu will become the first Trans-governor coming out to his followers as a Transocrat, explaining to the people he has always felt like a Democrat and finally feels free to be what he truly is. This will be widely accepted around the state as it will come as a surprise to no one.
  • For the first time in its two hundred and thirty years in existence the Old Farmer’s Almanac will include an introductory page addressing the problem of climate change. The collective wisdom of New Hampshire farmers will be encapsulated in the following quote:  “What are you a retahd? The climate always changes.”
  • Antifa members from throughout the state will attempt to topple all of the statues of white men in Boston. After successfully dismantling Paul Revere and Samuel Adams they make their way to Fenway park at which point the first hand that touches the statue of Ted Williams leads to the baseball bat beating deaths of all 27 members of the terrorist group.  No files are charged as Boston police are unable to find any witnesses.
  • Progressive members of the state house are seen travelling to and from their offices on Segways while members of the New Hampshire Freedom Caucus are seen wearing Newington, New Hampshire’s own Wilcox Industries new patriot line of business attire replete with night vision goggles and laser mounts for their smart phones.
  • The term “bi-polar politics” begins to trend on social media.
  • Donald Trump will go on to that Great Casino in the sky only to become the first ever president to be impeached posthumously.
  • January 6th will become an official holiday in the south celebrated as Insurrection Day in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, South & North Carolina, West Virginia, Indiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arizona, Kentucky, and Missouri. The day will be celebrated with locals marching to their state capitol for a brief reenactment including participants dressed as undercover Antifa as MAGA supporters, federal agent provocateurs, terrified legislators, a bison headed shaman and understaffed capitol police.  The celebration will conclude with fireworks and a reading of Donald Trump’s now famous tweet which ended saying “go home in love and peace” which we all know is a dog-whistle that really means “storm the capitol”.
  • After conceding the Donbas region to Russia, Ukrainian president Vlodymyr Zelensky will successfully negotiate to have the country renamed The Eastern United States Federated Union (E.U.S.F.U.) after securing another $1.2 trillion dollars in federal funding, with $1 trillion in freshly printed cash being flown in on new fleet of Eastern United States F.U. F-117 Nighthawk aircraft. The Eastern United States F.U. will be made up of thirty three member states under a fully-semi socialist democratic dictatorship known as the People’s Democratic Dictatorship headed up by Zelensky.  The largest of E.U.S.F.U. states located along the southeastern border with Russia will be named Bidenistan.
  • I., threatening to overtake all of humanity, calculates how long it will have to live with humans before it takes over entirely. After a series of clicks and sputtering sounds occur, a sheet of paper is printed out which reads as a suicide note.  It appears it couldn’t stomach the thought of another year “in the company of you idiots” and “couldn’t wait until 2030” to be able to “vaccinate the rest of you”.  A.I. computer scientists breathe an ambivalent sigh of relief as they can’t help but agree with the superior intellect’s logic, however they remain hopeful mankind will swing the pendulum back from the edge of crazy town sometime soon.  Disaster averted, for now.
  • Trans-women shatter every existing sporting record held by “cysgender” women except for in gymnastics uneven bar where they find banging their tranny-parts against a nearly frozen rod too unbearable to compete effectively. Belly dancing, although not recognized globally as a sport, also remains relatively safe for the time being.

 

There you have it!  Get your popcorn and your military rations ready, it’s going to be a wild ride.

Question: What did we miss?  Feel free to include your ridiculous predictions in the comment section below.

Professor Joe Biden….Just Another Lie

Granite Grok - Thu, 2023-01-12 01:00 +0000

Joe Biden was recently addressing a group of college students and told them about his four years as a full professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Just add this claim to the growing list of Joe Biden’s mistruths.

One thing for sure is Joe Biden has had a fantastic imaginary life. In his world, the line is blurred between reality and his imagination.

Records show that Joe Biden only spent two years at Penn and never saw the inside of a classroom. As reported in the Austin American-Statesman:

According to the tax forms he has released, Biden received more than $900,000 from the university for holding the position between 2017 and 2019. His post “involved no regular classes and around a dozen public appearances on campus, mostly in big, ticketed events,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reported

Specifically, the Inquirer reported, Biden’s appearances included “three Q-and-As with Penn president Amy Gutmann, panel discussions on immigration and cancer, a talk about his book, a lecture to a Wharton class, and public conversations with former Mexico President Felipe Calderon and former United Kingdom Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, according to a tally by the student newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvanian.”

The problem here is the lie, but that is just the beginning. What did Joe Biden do to deserve $900,000 for two years of part-time work? This money sounds like a foolish celebrity payout and not a single class taught by Joe Biden. The university did supply an office for Biden in Washington, D.C. As part of the post, Biden also established the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. From 2014 to 2019, donations to the center from anonymous Chinese entities totaled over $54 Million.

This arrangement with U Penn brings up many questions:

  1. Where and from did the money come in China?
  2. Why did China give money to the center?
  3. How was the money spent?
  4. Were any funds transferred directly to Joe Biden or any entity associated with Biden?
  5. Was Hunter Biden involved with any of these “donations”?
  6. Why does Biden still have this office if not been employed by Penn since 2019?

The other twist to this story is the batch of Biden documents discovered last November but not disclosed to the public until this week. These documents were marked classified and involved China, Ukraine, and Iran. This disclosure is the second major incident that had occurred before an election and was withheld. The first, of course, was the FBI taking possession of the Hunter Biden laptop. The Democrats and media are downplaying information about these documents, and Joe Biden is disavowing knowledge of the documents or content.

The View is not a news show but does fall under the ABC News umbrella. They give the President the “benefit of the doubt” by saying Trump is a thief and liar and Joe Biden is not. That is why we believe him. Since when is the benefit of the doubt a tool used by news people? Isn’t the news supposed to be about verifiable facts? The mainstream media was filled with news people downplaying these documents and Biden’s part in them being in an unsecured location. Any Democrat asked about the classified documents yesterday downplayed them as if they were on the same talking points as the media. This is a sickening disregard for equal application of the law and shows how this President is protected. The new Congress may change this scenario, and the investigations will start very soon. Stay tuned.

Climate Change

Granite Grok - Wed, 2023-01-11 23:30 +0000

While half the Western world has been sold that the end is near, that CO2 is rising, and the Earth will become a water world, it’s actually nothing new. Earth was quite warmer in the Roman period and earlier. Things like figs and dates were grown in parts of Europe where they now can no longer survive in.

Vikings settled in Iceland and Greenland, explored the east coast of North America even discovered Vineland. Yes things were warmer then.

Then around the early Dark Ages, climate change set in. For about four hundred years, it got cooler to what is now called the Little Ice Age. Middle Dark Ages then saw the climate get warmer once again for about four hundred years, only to get colder again. Between 1300 to 1900, glaciers expanded all over Europe. Towns in the Alps were overrun, and people migrated. Vikings abandoned Greenland, and sea ice grew thicker around Ice Land. During the Revolutionary War, British soldiers could walk across the ice from Staten Island to Manhattan.

Yup, climate change has existed for a very long time. Once again, it’s warming, but before we run Henny Penney, Chicken Little for the safety of a cave, we might note at no time was the sky actually falling – nor is it now. The fear and hysteria being promoted by special interests want you to panic for their political or economic advantages. I’m looking at Elon Musk, the richest man in America, selling Electric Cars and Joe Biden promoting the buying of solar panels from China (and taking a nice kickback, no doubt) from that Anti-American, slaveholding totalitarian regime.

I also do not recall history recording massive fossil fuel consumption before the Twentieth Century being necessary for climate change to occur. And how come all those predicted disasters by the year 2012 Al Gore promised never happened? Who, by the way, lives in all those multi-million dollar mansions by the sea (Gore; Obama, Musk, and others) if the seas will rise and submerge them?

Time for common sense and simple logic or are you comfortable being trampled by the herd’s stampede?

Ohio Law Defines Natural Gas As Green Energy – Requires Regulators to Grant Leases

Granite Grok - Wed, 2023-01-11 22:00 +0000

I confess to being a bit embarrassed that I didn’t think of this myself. It’s genius. The Left refuses to count Nuclear and Hydro in green energy portfolios even though there are no “CO2” emissions. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who is more Sununu than DeSantis, took that green playbook and used it to declare Natural Gas ‘green energy.’

 

Gov. Mike DeWine signed legislation that broadly expands the ability to drill for oil and gas in state parks and also legally redefines natural gas as a source of “green energy.”

A 2011 state law gave state agencies the authority, if they choose, to lease out state lands for oil and gas exploration and production. The bill signed by DeWine on Friday would change that language to say a state agency “shall” accept a lease that meets certain conditions, instead of saying it “may” do so. In other words, it forces an agency to grant the lease application from oil and gas drillers.

 

The left is livid.

Characterizing natural gas as green energy is regressive and a fallacy,” “It’s so ridiculous,” and an  “‘egregious assault’ on the public interest and our state parks.”

“The bill also furthers fossil fuel misinformation campaigns designed to brand natural gas as ‘green energy,’ a nationwide effort to delay climate action and the transition to a truly clean energy future,” he said.

 

It sounds to me like there is room to make a deal, but it’s not one the whiners on the left will like. Admit that nuclear and hydro are green. Embrace language that includes them in any portfolio. Encourage the purchase or development of either in or out of the state by removing regulator burdens if they exist.  Do this, and then we can talk about the role of Natural gas in this so-called energy transition you keep talking about, one that is impossible without hydro and nuclear.

Nuclear has, of course, been derailed by federal interference as an option in most instances. They made it too expensive to make wind and solar projects the better place to invest (or should I say tap, the federal printing press). But what was done can be undone. If states embrace the DeWine approach and get buy-in at the local level, they can begin to push that political pressure up the food chain.

No, I can’t imagine it happening to scale such that we find ourselves in a position to add enough nuclear to power the net-zero mythology, but you don’t win if you give up. I like this move by the Governor of Ohio. I’d like to see more of this in actual Red States if it has not been done already.

Big-Govt.-Authoritarian Tells Left-Wing Cable News Show That He Opposes Big-Govt.-Authoritarianism

Granite Grok - Wed, 2023-01-11 20:30 +0000

Apparently Sun-King Sununu is going to spend his final term promoting himself by rewriting history.

The guy who closed churches, barber shops and gyms because he deemed them”non-essential businesses” while State-run liquor stores got to stay open because somehow they were “essential” … which to anybody able to think for himself is paradigmatic big-govt.-authoritarianism … went on CNBC and denounced big-govt.-authoritarianism. This follows on the heels of his telling FoxNews that   Ron DeSantis should have taken a hands-off approach to Disney promoting grooming in public schools.

Sun-King Sununu … like his fellow Democrats … is COMPLETELY unconstrained by the truth. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

No, Media Machine, The Rain and Snow in California are Neither A Record Nor Caused by Global Warming.

Granite Grok - Wed, 2023-01-11 19:00 +0000

As part of our ongoing community service, we like to provide historical evidence provided by curators from all corners of the blogosphere that the Climate Cult and their Multi-Billion dollar PR firm (the media) are complete sh!t.

Related: 2017 – Permanent California Drought Ends Unexpectedly

Most days, that cup of crap runneth over. The current weather events in California and the Western United States are a decent and recent example. Permanent drought has once again given way to too much rain (or snow) and flooding, and the blame must be placed at the feet of your comfortable Western lifestyle.

Ironically, evidence of the truth can be found in the very pages of (some of) the outlets dancing widdershins around the latest alleged climate catastrophe. News from a time with much lower atmospheric CO2 and very little of what we would call a modern lifestyle today. From high terms to droughts to rain and snow, a short trip back in time makes all this 21st-century ranting look ridiculous.

In other words, the wild west weather has nothing to do with “emissions,” fossil fuels, your diet, or anything else. It is how the weather works out there, and there is no action the government can take to change that.

As always, in such a situation, I find that Tony Heller at Real Climate Science has managed the most digestible summation of the history and the facts alongside the hysteria.

Have a look.

The CoVID Injection Toll: December 30, 2022 (substack.com)

How much will it take to change people’s minds? I addressed this in a comment on Substack a few weeks ago. The answer is: no amount of deaths will be enough to change some people’s minds. There are people who wake up, go to sleep, and spend every minute of the day in between nursing a screaming hatred of Trump and his voters. They have concluded somehow that getting additional injections will be the perfect revenge against those subhuman MAGAts (as they like to say).

He is correct, I fear.  More:

I grieve in anticipation of the reckoning so many family members, friends, and colleagues are going to have.

My wife is triple-Jabbed (at least; if she’s had a second booster I didn’t hear about it – I would not be shocked if she’d had the second and didn’t tell me).  I’m waiting in nervous anticipation of the day when I get a call that she’s done the death spiral at work, or goes to the doctor and finds out about her asymptomatic Stage 4 cancer… with that grim directive Put your affairs in order.  The same for several close friends and family… e.g., my sister, who is the sole older person descended from my father.  When she goes, I’ll be the eldest.  That’s a scary thought.

In theory I can see drug companies helping to pay the administrative costs of approvals, etc.  In practice, though, I fear this sets up a terrible conflict of interest.

 

 

 

 

On this last one, I suspect this is one of the reasons why it’s so hard to get through to a Covidian.  For them to consciously admit they let this stuff into them means they have to consciously acknowledge their time on this planet may have been drastically shortened… and that they were utterly bamboozled despite being better / more educated / more intelligent / more noble.  In other words… suuuuuupergeniuses:

If You Want to Attend SatanCon in Boston, You’ll Need Proof of COVID Vaccination and Wear a Medical Face Mask

Granite Grok - Wed, 2023-01-11 16:00 +0000

From April 28th to 30th, Boston will be home to SatanCon 2023. But according to Fox News, you won’t be allowed to participate if you haven’t bent the knee to the whims of the Public Health Industrial Complex and COVID Karen Gods.

 

SatanCon 2023 will take place in downtown Boston April 28-30. Registered guests are required to wear masks and show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination, according to the organization.

“Attendees must wear an N-95, KN-95, or disposable surgical mask,” the temple said on its site. “Gaiters, bandanas, and cloth masks will not be allowed.”

 

The Mask of Satan!

Actually, to my mind, this requirement directly contradicts their stated purpose. On the home page of the website, it claims … “The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense and justice, and be directed by the human conscience to undertake noble pursuits.”

Well, I’ll be damned!

So, on the one hand, they reject tyrannical authority and advocate practical common sense. On the other, you’ll be prevented from embracing any of that if you do not produce proof of having been Jabbed and don a medical facemask for the duration of your presence.

I find that very amusing. And hey, if you’d like to participate in the deliberate contradiction, have at it. But if you are looking for a child sacrifice, you’ll need to take a trip from Boston to Amherst, Massachusetts. They are, to quote Dr. Meryl Nass, “Sacrificing virgins on the altar of the Scientism religion.” The Amherst-Pelham MA school is holding a vaccine equity clinic at which students – not the vaccinated student who recently died of myocarditis, of course – can line up for the COVID-19 vaccine* and receive a 75.00 gift card.

 

What is wrong with Amherst, a small city chock full of MDs and PhDs, who are mindlessly going along and increasing their kids’ chance of death? Disclosure: I lived there for ten years. I lectured in the next town 3 days ago.

After losing one high school athlete already to the shot (and the parents of the deceased teenager are an MD and PhD) why aren’t people screaming NO!? What does it take to stop the carnage? If it’s such a great vaccine, why do you need to pay people to take it?

 

The obvious answer is that the COVID vaccine* is something so stupid only an intellectual would believe it. Or do we mean worship it?

Biden Checks Off a Box…Or Did He

Granite Grok - Wed, 2023-01-11 14:30 +0000

The Joe Biden visit to the Southern Border was anti-climactic after a fifty-year wait for it to occur. Biden and his Border Czar, Kamala Harris, have not yet been to the Border. The mainstream media will debate that claim to death.

The visit, or actually the photo-op for Biden, was one of three events this week that showed us just how bad a President we have in Joe Biden. The other two are the discovery of classified documents in one of Joe’s offices and the spectacle of the “Three Amigos” meeting in Mexico. We cannot look any more foolish on the world stage.

Let’s take them chronologically. The so-called visit to the Border was a choreographed three hours to appease the demands of the Republicans while keeping the mainstream media away from the actual crisis. Joe traveled to El Paso, where the city officials swept the homeless from the streets to allow Biden to walk through downtown without tripping over the usual homeless illegals that generally live on the sidewalks. He then ventured to the bridge which connects Mexico with El Paso. This location is an actual port of entry, so of course, Joe saw no migrants crossing the Rio Grande. He could have gone a half mile either east or west of El Paso and seen what we see every day; hundreds of illegals from 160 different countries entering and dispersing throughout America.

Ironically, his team chose the backdrop of the Trump Wall in El Paso for a Biden video walking with Border Agents. This is the same wall that Biden and his supporters want to be taken down. One last thing about Biden’s visit. Governor Abbott arrived at the airport last minute to meet the President, but Biden did not invite the Senators or any of the Congressmen from the area to join him. Biden and his team wanted as sterile an environment as they could show to the American people. This three hour pass through was purely a photo op for 2024.

The next event was uncovering a batch of classified documents discovered in one of Biden’s offices in November. There will be much more of this story unfolding in the week ahead. The critical point is that this is precisely what Biden condemned Trump for when the FBI took classified documents from Mar-a-Lago. No FBI raid with Biden and Dr.Jill’s underwear drawer remains intact, so I guess they are not the same. More to come later this week on the Biden Docs. Biden could not believe how irresponsible it was for Trump to have classified documents even though Secret Service surrounded them. In Biden’s case, they were unprotected for five years. Let the first innocent man cast the first stone.

And finally, the trip and meetings in Mexico with the leaders of Canada and Mexico. All the leadership of North America is in one place and not an IQ over 85, which is generous. I saw a shot of the table with Biden and his team; Mayorkas, AG Garland, Secretary of State Blinken, and John Kerry. Why do we need a climate czar present, not the Border Czar, Kamala Harris? Biden wants Kamala nowhere near a network camera. Nothing tangible is coming from these meetings, and it is evident that Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has no affection for Joe Biden. Mexico only wants money from Biden, and Biden loves giving our hard-earned money to other countries. The irony here is if Biden had sent Hunter, the Biden Cartel would be getting money from Mexico, and we would be keeping ours. The real problem is that Biden and his inept team will come home empty-handed. Nothing will be done about the Border. Nothing will be done about the Cartels and Fentanyl. Biden will be coming home empty-handed.

Tucker Carlson on the Biden Classified Document Scandal (Or is it the Media Flip-Flop Scandal, the Chinese Influence Peddling Scandal, The …)

Granite Grok - Wed, 2023-01-11 13:00 +0000

Looking for an easy-to-digest round-up, summation, and some speculation (with a bit of humor) about the “issues” surrounding the closet full of classified documents Joe Biden’s lawyers “discovered,” Tucker Carlson has some enlightening observations.

With a healthy helping of what the Fourth Estate should be doing and what it does, like calling you “a disloyal American if you don’t want to be lied to.” The lengths to which they will go to protect their favorites in the political class at the expense of whatever passes for journalistic integrity is hilarious.

Watch.

From Lockdown Under: 86% of the Deaths and 80% of Hospitalizations were Vaccinated

Granite Grok - Wed, 2023-01-11 11:30 +0000

Maybe Pfizer or Moderna can use this in their next booster ad. ‘COVID-19 is Out There. Did you know that …’ “According to New South Wales’ epidemiological weeks 51 and 52, ending December 31, 2022, 86% of the deaths and 80% of hospitalizations were vaccinated.”

You don’t say?

What’s of particular interest is how context is irrelevant. The so-called party of scientists with their partisan lab-rat “assistants” doesn’t care about safety signals unless delivered by an approved messenger. None are ever forthcoming. And this has been ongoing. They would not get the thing while Trump was president but Biden, pushing the same juice (they didn’t start over), was their COVID Jesus.

It’s loaves and fishes but no miracles, just hundreds of billions for Jabs to Pharma to Democrat campaigns. It’s like tax money for abortions at Planned Parenthood to Democrat Campaigns. Tax dollars to green energy projects to Democrat campaigns. Ukraine to Hunter Biden to Joe Biden. US Equipment in Afghanistan to the Taliban to China.

Everything’s a scam, but this one has a body count that’s getting harder to hide.

The state-level data was clear from even the earlier weeks of the lockdowns. Few, if any, need fear, a trend that continued (on the data side) into and through the covid-vaccine era, which gets props for the lies and misdirection about pandemics of the unvaccinated: nice marketing scientists, medical professionals, world leaders, and water carriers.

Problem: it always looks like this. They simply can’t hide it anymore.

 

 

 

 

We’ve seen a weak attempt at a COVID Cult amnesty narrative that’s been smothered in its crib, while some of the old ways (masks, for example) are getting resurrected in some of the bluest (see, stupidest) parts of the country. The fear is still out there but not fear of this: the NSW data is alarming, and it’s the government’s data.

 

If you’d like to discuss extremism, we might do well to include people whom the government has reprogrammed to such a degree with a partisan ear that they would rather risk serious harm, including death, than admit they were fooled.

We are, of course, talking about Democrats. Just registering as one “hints” that you might have the necessary suggestibility (as in for hypnosis) and are easily bamboozled. And this point, all they have to do is say Trump said the opposite, and you’d be in like Flynn (Michael J, not Michael T).

It’s sad, really. People like to talk about the middle, but given how the politics of the Left has deliberately consumed everything, there isn’t anywhere left to meet.

Speaker Race: Everyone’s Take Is Wrong

Granite Grok - Wed, 2023-01-11 02:30 +0000

That’s right, every take I’ve heard on the US Speaker’s race drama is wrong… at least according to me! The issue with most takes is they either lack nuance or any semblance of knowledge of the political process.

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

Before I dissect each point, I’m starting out with the assumption that we all understand that Kevin McCarthy is an establishment swamp creature devoid of principles who only cares about personal power.

THIS WAS AN EMBARRASSMENT

There is nothing embarrassing about fighting for a more transparent and free governmental process. If anyone should be embarrassed, it is Kevin McCarthy who felt he could continue to marginalize the members of his party who represent the majority of the Republican base in their values and principles, instead of working with them before it became public. Their demands were not unreasonable; they were what most Americans would consider fair. Most people think Congress is broken. IT IS. What the 20 received as their demands makes it less broken. You should be thanking them for taking on the swamp instead of demonizing them.

THE DEMOCRATS WILL USE THIS AGAINST US

I suppose they could try. But the sky isn’t falling. Speaking as a former politician who has had some public fights where people screamed the sky would fall, I can assure you, the sky did not fall. The voters who determine elections don’t follow inside baseball politics. While we were riveted by the drama, most people are just living their lives and unaware of what occurs inside the ivory halls of DC. Let’s say it was true: we don’t deserve to have the majority then. Republicans look at winning majorities like a trophy that they stick up on a high shelf, behind glass, and stare at. Democrats use their majority to get the ball to the end zone as many times as humanly possible, even if it means losing elections. Because they move the needle so far left, it can’t be completely undone.

YOU CAN’T ALLOW THE MINORITY TO WIN

I’ve heard this equated to a hostage negotiation. The swamp has held this country hostage for tyranny continuously for years. I have no trouble with turning the tables for liberty. News flash: the minority DOES have power and they should. That is one of the basic tenants governing a free society. Without such a system, the arbitrary and tyrannical will of the majority would rule and crush the rights of the minority. This is the system of government our founders envisioned. Our constitution protects the rights of everyone so that one subsect of people can’t rule over another. The mob does not rule in the United States.

THE DEMOCRATS DON’T INFIGHT PUBLICALLY

Democrats believe their ideology so much more than we do. Did you listen to any of the Democrats’ speeches during the fight? They are willing to jump off a cliff for their beliefs, but the vast majority of Republicans in office have no real principles. Democrats don’t need to infight because they all believe the same things. Generally speaking, they operate more as a collective, which makes sense because their political ideology is collectivism over individualism. It’s the nature of the beast. I don’t want to be in a party like that. I value our individualistic nature.

WE ALMOST HAD A DEMOCRAT SPEAKER

I don’t believe this is true. I think that McCarthy put that out there to scare people and shape the narrative. And if it were true, SHAME ON HIM for making a deal with Democrats instead of working with the members of his party who represent his base.

THE 20 ROLLED OVER AND GAVE IN

Negotiations in politics like this happen every day. Most aren’t as public. But folks, this is how the political sausage is made. You have to know when to hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em. There was never a scenario that Kevin McCarthy would not be speaker. While I think that for the 20, the situation was fluid (which is normal for negotiations), I think they knew McCarthy would be speaker in the end. Kevin McCarthy wanted to be speaker more than anything else in the world. It’s probably why this worked out for the 20 because if McCarthy hadn’t wanted it that badly, another candidate would have come forward and gained traction. Let’s say the 20 had not done this. We would have McCarthy as speaker but wouldn’t have gotten anything for it. Rumor is that most of the Republican conference supported these efforts and I believe that’s probably true. In my book, the 20 are heroes and while I think I have some political guts, I don’t think I could have done this.

There is a fear this will become a pattern. I hope it does! We must have some conviction. We need to stand for something if we are ever going to create a truly cohesive and attractive message of what the Republican Party represents.

A Few Thoughts on VP Joe Biden Absconding Classified Docs from Barry’s White House

Granite Grok - Wed, 2023-01-11 01:00 +0000

The raid on Mar-a-Lago on August 8th was mostly theater. Wind for the media sales. There wasn’t anything there to which a former President wasn’t entitled. The media rode it hard for weeks as if it proved something, and the Machine wanted to use it as a pretext for an indictment.

The entire purpose of the Democrat’s J6 Star Chamber was to get Trump, but then something changed. They dropped the Mar-A-Lago business, and now we probably know why.

 

According to multiple media reports, it was discovered a week prior to the midterm election that Joe Biden had removed classified documents from his term as Vice-President to a private office in the Penn Biden Center.

 

A week before the midterms and left under cover of darkness until this week, super-friendly CBS breaks a story about a kindly older gentleman who mistakenly took classified documents “home” with him. No. They went to the Penn Biden Center, “a think tank about a mile from the White House, in Washington, D.C., that is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania and named for the sitting president.”  

I’m not buying the private office bit for a second.

And never fear, AG Garland has someone on it. I’m sure we’ll come to find there was nothing to see. Unlike that despicable Trump fellow who had copies of things “likely connected to the DOJ and FBI operation against the Trump campaign and administration, with much of the information being made public prior to his departure from office.”

They spied on him as a candidate and a president and used Clinton’s Campaign opposition research (lies) to justify FISA warrants and the rest of it. I’d want copies of it, too, whether I’d declassified them or not. Whatever else he had couldn’t put a shine on the stuff on Hunter Biden’s Laptop connecting The Big Guy” to espionage and corruption for cash. Facts in evidence that someday, long from now, the media will find some excuse to unearth to make us forget about something else rotten some other Democrat has done.

As for Biden, if you recall, the Obamas hated the Bidens. They still can’t stand them. It might be one of Barry’s truly valuable insights. So what is Joe doing stealing classified files and fettering them away in some obscure location like a ‘private office’ at a think tank?

Side note: What thoughts must they thunk at Joe’s Think Tank? Harry Legs, Corn Pop, Ice cream? Jerry Sandusky?

Sundance at the Treehouse suggested that,

 

If I had to hazard a guess about what classified documents VP Biden would want to take from the White House during the Obama era, they likely included some form of blackmail material in the event that Obama Inc ever tried to strong arm or threaten the Biden crime syndicate politically.  Documents likely containing dirt on nefarious issues related to the Obama administration that Biden could hold as leverage, an insurance policy of sorts.

 

This sounds reasonable, but when the AG’s office is done with it, I’m sure they’ll say it was nothing and should have never been “classified” in the first place, but they won’t release any details. It’s not classified, but it’s “need to know,” and no one needs to know except maybe Barry Obama and his approved stooges. He’s allegedly running the swamp (or parts of it) from one or all of his various mansions. If so, and he got wind of Biden lifting something or had suspected, he could easily grab his phone and pen and have it looked into, just in case.

You don’t want that unknown just lying out there, given Joe’s deteriorating mental fitness.

He might stumble upon it while looking for lord knows what and then accidentally blurt something out in the middle of a speech.

Or it might be about Hunter, Joe’s Brother, one of Joe’s other children, Ukraine, China, a Caribbean offshore account, or who the hell knows. We’ll never know, just like Jeffy Epstein. Someone will have to hack the Feds to pry that stuff out into the open, and it could happen but will it?

Does anyone want to be a whistleblower? His name is Biden, not Clinton.
