Is it Time for a Citizen Attorney General in NH?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2023-05-02 03:00 +0000

James Madison wrote in The Federalist #48 that he worried about what he called; “the weakness of parchment barriers” to protect the liberties and property of people when the government increasingly draws all power into its vortex.

Paper, he felt, cannot offer protections to anyone – that is why checks and balances must be required.

Madison was right, and it is on full display here in NH -in our towns, legislature, and courts.

Civics and knowledge of the NH Constitution are not taught in schools, nor are they popular, nor are NH Citizens publically aware. This directly allows politicians free range to enact legislation that, in many cases, violates their oath of office, to bear faith and true allegiance to the NH Constitution. There is no real good faith legislative test before passage.

The New Hampshire Constitution provides that we, the citizens, have a right to require of our lawgivers and magistrates an exact and constant observance of them in the formation and execution of the laws necessary for the good administration of government. (Under; Part I, Article 38. Article 7., and Article 8.)

We, the people of NH, are the checks and balances I believe Madison was referring to. However, once legislation is passed, it takes a citizen(s) to challenge it in the court system vs the administrative state. The administrative state, in turn, uses your tax dollars to fight you. NH Attorney General represents the state!

Solutions begin with YOU. Jefferson warned us that without being sufficiently educated to provide oversight in that we would not function as a republic nor be able to self-govern. We are the “checks and balances.” Our elected officials need to be held personally and professionally responsible for not upholding their sworn oath of office.  (Not as it currently appears:  to political parties/actors, political organizations, or corporations.)

“You see if you do not know your rights, you simply do not have any!” (Daniel Richard/ Com. of Safety 2020)

 2nd Failure to honor their oaths requires; “We the people of NH” to get organized and involved in crafting legislation that would create an office of Citizen Attorney General or enact a Citizen Grand Jury. To directly represent citizens and challenge the administrative state, supported by community funds to offset the financial burden of self-representation or attorneys in these costly constitutional – and court challenges that must be fought!

Next time you pass those little American flags that grace a military tombstone remember they, too, swore an oath and paid the ultimate sacrifice to secure it. Let’s again honor their sacrifice and duty of OATH. Get off the couch, put down the remote and foolish App’s, and step up to rebuild the spirit of “parchment barriers” and our checks & balances of self-government.

Apathy is no longer an option – time is short!

In liberty and justice for all…

SCOTUS on Senate Ethics Complaint Against Justice Clarence Thomas: A Unanimous “Up Yours!”

Granite Grok - Tue, 2023-05-02 01:30 +0000

An Update: Well, perhaps not quite that direct but certainly, within the “politically polite” language used in DC (aka “my friends on the other side of the aisle” as they are shivving each other), a 9-0 unanimous vote against acceding to the whims of an (allegedly) co-equal Branch of government.

Supreme Court unanimously rejects ethics complaints by Democrats against Justice Clarence Thomas

The United States Supreme Court unanimously rejected ethics complaints about Justice Clarence Thomas by Democrats.

Sen Richard Durbin (D-Ill.), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent a letter on April 20 requesting Chief Justice John Roberts appear for a hearing about potential conflicts of interest within the top court. The letter was signed by all 11 Democrats on the Judiciary Committee.

This after US Senators Angus King (I-ME but caucuses with Democrats) and Lisa Murkowski (RINO-AK) entered a bill to create a [weaponized Code of Ethics.

It’s clear that since the Democrats lost the majority of Justices on the Court, thanks to both Trump and McConnell, the Democrats have been FUMING that “their” super-legislature (as they appear to believe that’s what the Court should be for them rather than deciding cases according to the US Constitution and the Laws that have been passed) was taken from them. So if they can’t “have” it, they have been working overtime to discredit it and the conservative Justices as often and as hard as they can.

Thomas is always their punching bag and Kavanaugh has been similar since the Democrats on the US Senate Judiciary brought up and threw all the mud they could against him during his confirmation hearing.  Now Gorsuch, another Trump appointee, is also under attack for real estate transactions (that started before his tenure on SCOTUS). Throw in that Thomas’s wife, Gigi, is been under their hammer because she’s outspoken as an unabashed Conserved as well as the wife of Chief Justice Roberts (who is no conservative but still a Republican appointee by Bush II) is under attack for ability and earning quite a bit of money as a headhunter.

This is part of their overall plan of personal destruction with discrediting the institution itself. Durbin doesn’t care as he and his fellow Democrats, as I said before, look at it differently than we do – a legislature rather than an actual court.

Hassan Wants to Ban ‘Weapons of War’ after Illegal Kills Family in Texas

Granite Grok - Tue, 2023-05-02 00:00 +0000

On Friday, a man in Texas was asked by his neighbors to stop shooting his semi-automatic rifle in his yard. This doesn’t sound like a big ask of anyone, especially since it was illegal, but the family didn’t call the police and the 38-year-old man, Francisco Oropeza, instead chose to shoot the family, murdering five people, including two children.

It turns out Oropeza is an illegal alien who has been deported at least two times previously. Law enforcement had also spoken with him about shooting in his yard. Of course, if he’s an illegal alien, that also means he cannot legally purchase or possess a firearm, so he clearly also had an illegal firearm.

A reminder that murder is also illegal. Before committing this heinous act, the scum had already violated several laws, including being in the country illegally.

New Hampshire’s hellish holophobic senator, Maggie Hassan, decided to comment on the case and as always, blames the rifle for the horrific deaths of the family:

To be clear, a semi-automatic rifle is not a ‘weapon of war.’ That is a made-up term by Democrats to fearmonger the ignorant into believing that civilians own the same rifles as the military. If our military only had semi-automatic rifles in war, we’d have no military. And the person who didn’t belong in our community was the murderous illegal alien.

Hassan and her fellow Democrats in Congress have done NOTHING to stop Biden’s Border Invasion. Not. One. Thing. If anyone is responsible (aside from the murderer) in this instance, it’s Hassan and her anti-American goons in the Democrat Party for continuing to keep the border open with zero ramifications for those who cross it.

Chris Sununu Presidential Poll Watch – Week of 5/1/23

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-05-01 22:30 +0000

Well, Chris Sununu had some good news in the RealClearPolitics polling – his polling doubled!  But as in all things, context is absolutely necessary. It’s like the Greenies when they boast that the amount of electricity from Renewables has doubled.

Sure, a doubling from a starting point of almost zero is still pretty much “not much”. And that’s the same for Sununu – not much support still, as the RCP polling shows him reaching 1.0% from 0.5 % last week:

 

(click to embiggen)

He’s at least beating Asa Hutchinson (re: Why?), who formally entered the race last week but only by 1/10 of a point. However, he’s even with Younkin, who also announced last week – that he wasn’t going to run for President, so there’s that. Again, as a comparison, I’m going to continue to use political newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy who has bounced to 2.3% from 0.9% last week.

As always, Sununu’s own words about setting THE threshold in making it to the debate stage:

Hangover: An “Evergreen” statement by Sununu himself on low-rated wannabes:

Mr. Sununu also warned minor candidates not to carve up the field.

“I think there’s a lot of hope and opportunity for good candidates to get in, drive the message where it needs to be,” he said. “But the discipline is getting out, too. The discipline and saying, ‘Look, you’re only polling at 5%, you got to get out.’ We don’t want a crowded field here.”

At this point in time, Sununu would have his wishes as of the eleven candidates (official, unofficial) being tracked, only Trump, DeSantis, and Pence (combined 76% of the field in polling) would find a debating podium placed in front of them.

Is NH Associate Attorney General Anne Edwards a Viable Candidate to Become a Superior Court Judge?

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-05-01 21:00 +0000

NH Associate Attorney General Anne Edwards has been nominated to be an NH Superior Court Justice.

In our Constitutional Republic, justice is supposed to be blind, and those who are accused of wrongdoing are supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Additionally, those who have committed wrongdoing should be held accountable under the law. But that is not always the case because the achievement of those altruistic goals is incumbent upon those who have sworn an oath to uphold and defend our Constitutional Rights.

Unfortunately, it has become commonplace for activists throughout government – including judges – to violate their oaths… so it is essential that only qualified people with impeccable moral values be appointed to the bench. It is essential that those who adjudicate do so with strict adherence to the Constitution and devoid of any personal bias as the basis for all of their decisions.

“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
– John Adams

Does Anne Edwards meet the criteria to be an impartial justice?

New Hampshire’s five Executive Councilors will vote to accept or reject Edwards’ nomination. Whether you are for or against her appointment, now is the time to make your voice heard. Members of the public will have an opportunity to provide public comment during the Executive Council meeting THIS WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 2023, AT 2 PM in the Governor and Executive Council Chambers at the State House, 107 N. Main St., Concord, NH.

You can also submit your public comments via email to: gcweb@nh.gov.

This is an opportunity for NH citizens to be involved with the appointment of who will adjudicate issues in Superior Court.

They’re flying so thick and fast it is amazing.  Take heart – there will be a Meme Overflow and almost certainly a Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow.  Last week’s Overflow-Overflow.

  2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
  3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

The Skip & Tom Weight Challenge – Week 8

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-05-01 18:00 +0000

Not a great week for me – it was bound to happen as I kinda fell off the wagon. Didn’t help either that Grokster Mike came up and we went out to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant here in the Lakes Region – El Jimador.  So much for moderation! But, still over halfway there (instead of the almost 80% of last week).

Tom is keeping it going!

The ConVal Education Funding Lawsuit … Attorney General Johnny-Woke Tells The Court: The State Is Only A Little Bit Pregnant

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-05-01 16:30 +0000

According to Attorney General Johnny-Woke, courts can AND SHOULD determine whether “the State” is “fully funding” an “adequate education,” as long as they don’t try to determine how much it costs to “fully fund” an “adequate education.” I kid you not … from New Hampshire Business Review:

Attorney General Formella’s team is not seeking to justify the state’s contribution to funding public schools. Instead, they primarily mount their defense on two propositions, one that relies on the separation of powers and the other that restricts the cost of an adequate education to the factors enumerated in statute.

First, the state asserts that the court “lacks jurisdiction to award any relief to Plaintiffs other than a simple declaration that the State is, or is not, complying with its constitutional duties.” Instead, the means of meeting the state’s constitutional duties is vested in the Legislature, which “possesses the exclusive discretion to determine what programs and what levels of funding are necessary and appropriate.”

“This case,” the state’s brief reads, “presents one or more non-justiciable political questions due to a lack of judicially discoverable and manageable standards, the impossibility of deciding the issues without making policy determinations of a kind clearly reserved to nonjudicial discretion.”

Attorney-General Johnny-Woke’s position is that it is possible to be just a “little pregnant.”  The problem is that once you accept the premise that “the State” has a “constitutional duty” … more specifically

The State does not contest the underlying law applicable to the issues in this case. Under our education funding jurisprudence, Part II, Article 83 of the State Constitution “imposes a duty on the State to provide a constitutionally adequate education to every educable child in the public schools in New Hampshire and to guarantee adequate funding.” Claremont School Dist. v. Governor, 138 N.H. 183, 184 (1993). To comply with that duty the State must “define an adequate education, determine the cost, fund it with constitutional taxes, and ensure its delivery through accountability.” Londonderry Sch. Dist. v. State, 154 N.H. 153, 155-56 (2006) (quotation omitted).

you are PREGNANT. That is, you have accepted the premise that the Court has the FINAL SAY on the definition of an adequate education, how to determine the cost, how to fund it, and what “accountability” looks like.

All of the Claremont “duties” are “non-justiciable political questions.” To name but a few examples, whether to have a single statewide definition of an “adequate education” versus letting school districts create their own definitions, whether to use “adequacy” or some other measure as the aspirational standard, whether to utilize pervasive and meaningful school-choice as the means to “deliver” an “adequate education” are ALL “non-justiciable political questions.”

According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “Vaccines” Do NOT Need to Control or Prevent Disease

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-05-01 15:00 +0000

Remember when everyone who was anyone said the COVID-19 “vaccines” would prevent infection and spread? We needed them to return to normal, which – as it turns out meant making excuses for why they didn’t do that. And they have run out of excuses.

While the approved narrative on The Jab continues to include the words “prevents severe disease, hospitalization or death,” (another lie) outside forces continue to press the CDC to admit the error of their ways.  Any error in any way.

The agency’s response? Redefine what a vaccine is or does. Nothing. Vaccines don’t have to do anything to get EUA approval.

 

Vaccines don’t have to prevent infection or transmission to be cleared in the United States, the country’s top regulatory agency said in a new document.

“It is important to note that FDA’s authorization and licensure standards for vaccines do not require demonstration of the prevention of infection or transmission,” Dr. Peter Marks, a top official at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said in the document.

 

Is this a bad time to point out that the CDC’s full and proper name is The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?

Is it, not a good time to remind everyone that Section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act only allows the issuing of an emergency use authorization if four criteria were met, one of which was that “There is no adequate, approved, and available alternative. Among other reasons, an alternative may be considered unavailable if there are insufficient supplies of the approved alternative to fully meet the emergent need or if the agent is or may become resistant to approved and available alternative products.”

If “vaccines” don’t need to prevent infection or transmission, neither the CDC nor the FDA can issue another EUA ever because there will always be innumerable alternatives that do nothing to prevent infection or transmission.

One ironic example; the Public Health Industrial Complex has insisted for years that neither Hydroxychloroquine nor Ivermectin is effective in preventing the transmission or spread of COVID. We know that’s not true but were COVID to start today, assuming their expert opinion was unchanged, they could not issue a legal EUA because we already have treatments that are ineffective against COVID so Section 564 prohibits emergency use authorization.

And then we have the more obvious problem. If flu vaccines don’t need to prevent infection or spread why does anyone need them, given that public health watchdogs already changed the definition of informed consent to lie, hide, obfuscate, redirect, and blamestorm?

The only things the CDC is trying to prevent are interruptions in kickback operations for green-lighting injections they reserve the power to mandate whose only benefit is kickbacks to “experts” working at the CDC.

Breaking: American Legion Cancels Drag Shows After Vets ‘Drag’ Sweeney Post Leadership to the Rhetorical Woodshed

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-05-01 12:30 +0000

On Saturday, April 29th, we shared news about a local American Legion post that had scheduled a Drag Queen event on July 8th. As of this morning, two days later, that event and any future Drag shows the Sweeney Post leadership had planned have been canceled.

If you missed the original story, “The American Legion Henry J Sweeney Post #2 in Manchester, NH, has a surprise for Veterans and family members of all ages. They are the location for “the newest show in New Hampshire drag entertainment!

Available for all ages.

I was contacted by at least one Veteran who is a member of Sweeney Post #2. We had an in-person chat not long after that, and he named a few names. Liberals in leadership whom he believed (probably) couldn’t help themselves. We’ll refrain from sharing names for the moment, but they know who they are, as do the Veterans who called them after we published the story.

Those Vets expressed their concern about the decision to host drag queen shows at their American Legion Henry J Sweeney Post #2 in Manchester, NH, and it seems to have made an impression. The original post went up at 8 am Saturday. By 8 am Monday, I was told they had backed off not just the July 8th show but any plans for additional Drag Queen events.

On the bright side, the “newest show in New Hampshire Drag Entertainment” title is up for grabs.

Surprise!

Quick Thought: This is a SPLENDID Idea – Flipping the Left’s Linguistic Handcuffs

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-05-01 12:00 +0000

In a post that dealt more with Musk’s talking about a Swedish story about Transgender transitioning doesn’t lower the risk of suicide and that child sexual-organ mutilation is wrong, there was this:

“[By the way], I regard cisgender as a slur,” he added.

I agree – wholeheartedly. I can deal with being called “straight” just fine but technically, I’m a heterosexual (and it’s binary relationship of male or female and not Heinz gazillions).  However, the LGBT lobby (as opposed to the gun lobby) has gone all out to make heterosexuality and heteronormative to be slurs. Oh DARE you ancients and conservatives reject our new words that set the stage that “trans” is the word of most importance (even as its percentage in the general population is <1%). How DARE you take away our ability to control the language in order to control our mindset.

So they couldn’t just leave us well enough alone and created “cisgender” and use it incessantly in order to drive it in our language patterns.

Like “assault weapon”, it is a made-up political term simply to forward a sexual-political agenda. They are calling us names.

Time to tell them, every time we see or hear it, “shove it”.

I’ve had enough of this nonsense and so should you. Otherwise, the Left (of which the LGBT Lobby) will continue to 1984 us right out of our Freedom. Orwell’s book made it clear that it could happen and the Left knows and is taking advantage of it.

Justice Samuel Alito: We Are under Attack, And Nobody Is Fighting To Protect Us.

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-05-01 10:30 +0000

United States Supreme Court Justice gave a remarkable interview to the Wall Street Journal. Among other things, he said that he “had a pretty good idea” who leaked the draft abortion-decision, but didn’t have the level of proof needed to name names. Clearly, he believes that the leaker was one or more of the “liberals”:

“It was a part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft . . . from becoming the decision of the court. And that’s how it was used for those six weeks by people on the outside — as part of the campaign to try to intimidate the court.”

Alito also called out … as best a sitting Justice can … the Bar for not defending the Supreme Court from the obviously planned and coordinated attacks by the Left:

“We are being hammered daily and I think quite unfairly in a lot of instances. And nobody, practically nobody, is defending us. The idea has always been that judges are not supposed to respond to criticisms, but if the courts are being unfairly attacked, the organized bar will come to their defense,” Alito said, adding, “If anything, they’ve participated to some degree in these attacks.”

Bar organizations, at this point, are every bit as controlled by the Left as practically all our other institutions. The GOP needs to step into the breach to defend the last bastion of constitutional government … the United States Supreme Court (Biden is well on his way to packing the lower courts with the jurisprudential equivalent of Mao’s Red Guard).

Yet the GOP is AWOL on this issue as it is on the other issues that really matter … grooming, DEI, “gender affirming care” for children, the border. Instead, the Uni-Party-GOP is all about Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine and taxes, taxes, taxes.

Dylan Mulvaney’s Inner Trans-Authoritarianism Reveals Itself – Off With Your Head If You Call “He/Him/Prancing Dufus”

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-05-01 01:30 +0000

Bolder and stupider, this guy gets. Yes, that gay guy that has made millions from endorsements (for “celebrating 365 of womanhood”) from corporations seeking to up their ESG (Equity, Social, Governance) score. 

All to mollify Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street as the LGBT Ruler known as the Human Rights Campaign and its CEI score (Nice corporation you got there – pity if we did something happened to it).

Yep, for having written the title of this post and the previous two sentences, that hollow-chested transvestite would have me arrested and put in jail for doing what the LGBT believes is a law already: misgendering.  Make no mistake, there are a lot of LBGT groups that wish it were so, and no small number of school districts to boot.

 

Dylan Mulvaney, a biological man who uses she/her pronouns, is making headlines once again for comments made in a TikTok video titled “Adult Bullies” from October 2022 as a launch for his “Days of Girlhood” podcast. The resurfaced clip, tweeted by Oli London and shared by Matt Walsh, has millions of views and features the activist expressing that “I feel like that should be illegal” to misgender him.

From RedState, Bonchie gets right to the heart of this. These people are mentally ill in believing that they are the centers of everyone else’s universe and what WE think, especially of folks like Mulvaney, should be kept to ourselves.  Yeah, that ain’t happening (reformatted, emphasis mine):

 

That’s not surprising because at the center of transgender ideology is the beating heart of authoritarianism. We are so far past the “we just want to be left alone” framing used during the gay marriage debate that it seems like an eternity ago. Transgender ideology is a completely different animal that demands absolute subservience and affirmation from everyone who interacts with itthe demand is that you must actively participate in promoting the lie that men can become women, women can become men, and that some have no gender at all. Never mind all the other nonsensical “genders” being claimed as reality.

 

And here is the blunderbuss of the truth of it all: 2+2 cannot equal 5, or 10, or -1,235.

 

The truth is, those calling Dylan Mulvaney a man are not “misgendering” him. They are gendering him based on an accurate reading of objective reality. Yet, we are quickly approaching the point where speaking the simple truth risks criminal liability. That’s already happening in places like the United Kingdom, and it’s just a matter of time before the scourge of criminalization reaches American shores.

 

Like I’ve said for a little while now: Trans-authoritarianism. And it’s clear that anyone that says anything against him, it is bullying:

 

“They believe that their bullying actually is the right thing to do, and I’m the one to blame when I’m just over here trying to live my best life.”

No, it’s opinion and we are all entitled to have such. And it’s predictable that the immediate response is to grab tight to victimhood. “Trying to live my best life” – I’m blameless in all this!  Why are you picking on me?

Where do I begin? Sorry, clueless one, but most of us have seen you as just another missionary in moving the Overton Window to the Left  one Bud Light at a time. Your movement, and make no mistake that you have become the WomanFace for it by your own hand, is telling us what we MUST do and what you are seeing is a rejection of it. Saying over and over again that you are a woman DOESN’T make you one. And yes, I’m a biologist.

Maybe “Chicks on the Right” are correct – he’s out of control. And the corporations funding him are enabling it:

Anyone else sick of him yet?  I mean, I have been sick of him since “Day 1 of girlhood,” or whatever the heck he called it.  Honestly, I didn’t even know who he was until like 2 seconds ago and now I can’t get his face out of my feed on socials.

If making money and getting all the endorsements off of pretending to be a teenage girl and making fun of women isn’t enough, he now wants it to be illegal for you to misgender him.  If Dylan was in charge, I would be arrested for this post.

Yeah, you can find me in the cell right next door. However, the more he yammers on, the longer his Streisand Effect will go on and not in the attention whoring manner he wants.

ICYMI – Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamofascism

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-05-01 00:00 +0000

Time and again, we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name.

We are also informed that the terrorists, who happened to be Muslims, are disaffected and young. And not to worry, since as the fire of youth turns to ashes of old age, the rebellious will mellow, as they always have.

With heavy assurances like this, coming from so many know-it-all authoritative figures, we can sleep soundly without the aid of sleeping pills. After all, people reason that these pundits are “experts” whose job is to know and tell it like it is. Those who voice contrary views must be a bunch of racists and alarmist hatemongers. Who is right?

Wouldn’t be more prudent to let the facts settle the matter rather than blindly accepting either position? Of course, it would, except for one huge problem. In the face of threats, people tend to go to the mind’s medicine cabinet and take a few denial and rationalization pills, in the same way that it is the aspirin bottle they turn to when a headache strikes. Why not? We are the Easy Species. We love effortless, quick, and simple solutions. And that’s not invariably bad. It has given us all kinds of labor and time-saving devices.

Yet, the Islam problem is very real and deadly. Neither the pronouncements of the experts nor the tranquilizing pills of the mind can make it go away. It is here, and it shows every sign of imposing itself on us. Let us look at some of the facts.

* Not every Muslim wears an explosive vest ready to detonate in the midst of a crowd of innocent civilians, yet there are more volunteers for the mission than there are explosive vests. The Islamic Republic of Iran, for instance, hasn’t even officially joined this form of jihad. Yet, by its own admission, it has over 10,000 volunteers trained and ready to be deployed and thousands more queuing to join in. This time around, the jihadists heading for Allah’s heaven might come fitted with nice little suitcases of dirty bombs instead of the bulky explosive vests. Recall that it took only 19 of these killers to launch the aerial mass murder of 9/11 that killed 3,000 people, shattered our open trusting way of life, and cost us billions of dollars.

* The jihadists are not confined to a minority of disaffected Muslim youth. How young are Bin Laden, his deputy doctor of death Al Zawahiri, Mullah Omar of the Taliban, Khamenei, and Rafsanjani of Iran, just to name a few? How disaffected are they? Muhammad Ata, leader of the 19 airborne thugs and the decapitator of Wall Street Journal reporter Pearl was somewhat younger yet well-healed and Western-educated.

* Just coin some terms such as the “Melting Pot” or “Multiculturalism” and you have the problem solved? Roll out the red carpet for the immigrant Muslims, treat them as you would your own citizens, give them stipends, medical care, and free education, and they will integrate seamlessly into society. No such thing at all. The idea of a Melting Pot may work with people who come from different lands to make the new country their home. The Islamists, on the other hand, come with the belief that they already own the place and want to make it part of the Ummah. Some forty percent of second and third-generation Muslim Britons reject British democracy, express their allegiance to Islam, and want to live under Sharia. So much for the Melting Pot comfort pill.

* The new Islamist arrivals take advantage of the provisions of the most benign system known to humanity, democracy, to implode it from within. Muslims, by sheer numbers, will soon be in a position to vote out democracy in many countries. They are already doing that in bits and pieces. They are imposing many of their values in a number of societies, even while they are in the minority. Politicians, hungry for votes and devoted to the practice of political correctness, bend backward to accede to Islamists’ demands.

* As for Multiculturalism, it is even more of a delusion than the Melting Pot myth. It is a second-generation Comfort Pill. Since the Melting Pot proved to be worse than a placebo, the politically correct gave us the new pill. A glance at Europe shows how Multiculturalism in fact has served as the incubator of Islamism in no time at all. Europe’s Multiculturalism is rapidly birthing a Uniculturalism, if the Islamists’ medieval way of life can be dignified as a culture.

* Respect for diversity, separation of religion and state, and freedom of belief and expression, are pillars of democracy, yet anathema to Islam. In no Islamic land do you find an ecumenical organization? It is only in non-Islamic countries that the shameless duplicitous Muslim, be he an imam, a mullah, or a regular run-of-the-mill faithful of Allah, meekly participates in ecumenical feel-good gatherings.

* To Muslims, no other religion is deemed worthy of recognition, much less accommodation. There is no church, synagogue, or Buddhist temple in all of Saudi Arabia. They are barred. The Islamic Republic of Iran’s raft of genocidal pogroms includes the heinous practice of bulldozing even the cemeteries of its Baha’i religious minority. The Islamic tyranny of the mullahs imprisons Christian Iranians for celebrating Christmas. Egypt denies its own citizens’ identity cards for refusing to lie and fake their religious beliefs or disbelief. The ID cards are required for education, securing work, receiving medical care, and just about every right of citizenship. Without it, a citizen is literally subjected to a slow death.

* In Islam only Muslim men and, to a lesser extent, Muslim women are entitled to certain rights. All non-Muslims, including the so-called people of the book, namely Christians and Jews, are at best second-class subjects, subjects who must pay the back-breaking Jizya, poll tax, for their “sin” of not converting to Islam. So, as Islam makes its inroads in new lands, as its membership swells through explosive birth and conversion, secular democracies will be inevitably replaced by Islamism with its stone-age Sharia laws. The best offer that Islam will make is to spare the non-Muslim’s life if he puts on the heavy yoke of Jizya for the rest of his living days.

* Not to worry about the horrific things that are happening on the other side of the world? If Muslims act heinously toward non-Muslims, it is just how things are in those countries and are hardly any of our business. This is the same attitude that set the Islamization of Europe on a seemingly irreversible track. One European country after another is rapidly buckling under the weight of Islamism.

* Most importantly, not to worry about the Islamization of our country? After all, Muslims are about 6-7 million in a population of nearly 300 million, you reason? That even a smaller number of these Muslims are hothead radicals, while the majority is just like everyone else? But small minorities can overwhelm the majority by use of coercion and deadly force. Islamists are notorious for their dedication to the use of force for achieving their aims. The Taliban were a very small minority in Afghanistan, the Islamists were a tiny faction in the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran. Both overwhelmed the masses and imposed their reign of terror. The terrorist Hamas is also a “minority” in number, yet it rules the Palestinian Territory. Hezbollah of Lebanon is a minority, yet it has taken the country to the verge of destruction.

* Islamists are Islam’s locomotive that takes the wrecking-ball Islamic train on its demolition course. Islam and democracy are incompatible. As democracies practice their magnificent accommodating belief, they knowingly or unknowingly lay the track for the advancing wrecking train of Islam. We, in the United States of America, must resist Islam while it is still gathering momentum unless we wish to end up in the same fix as the Europeans.

* We, in the United States, further need to embark on a comprehensive legal, educational, and social campaign to eradicate the deadly plague of Islam. By effective action, we even save those peaceful Muslims from their own affliction. I am not hatemongering. I would love to see all Muslims become ex-Muslims and full-fledged members of a diverse tolerant democratic society. It is a statement of fact about what Islam is. Islam is a highly communicable pandemic-violent disease that demands urgent and serious containment.

Europe is already badly infected with Islamism. It is the coal miners’ canary. It is telling us that the next stop is America. We must act and act now. We must not sacrifice our cherished way of life and our children’s lives at the altar of political correctness: the incubator of Islamofascism.

Remembering the Fall of Saigon

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-04-30 22:30 +0000

To Vietnamese Americans, April is called “Black April Month” because millions of Vietnamese people have died due to the fall of Saigon since April 1975.  American troops withdrew in 1973 after the 1973 Paris Peace Accords were signed.

South Vietnam was on its own, while North communist Vietnam was backed militarily and financially by Chinese and Russian communists.

North Communist Vietnam took over South Vietnam by military force on April 30, 1975.  Hundred thousands of Vietnamese people fled the country, and millions of Vietnamese people both from North and South Vietnam died in the communist prisons as prisoners of war and while trying to cross borders by boat, on foot through jungles known as “boat people” as a general term.

Countless cases of people being robbed, raped and killed, and gone missing till this day, and their families have no closing. It is unimaginable for people to comprehend how horrible the persecution and life were for the people who used to serve in the South Vietnam government and all agencies, including professors, artists, and all of their families too.

My father was a combative Marine Captain who fought alongside American soldiers to defend the freedom and democracy of South Vietnam and was on duty in Saigon until the last moment of the Vietnam War.  He was imprisoned as a prisoner of war (POW) by the Việt Cộng (Vietnamese communist = VC) for seven years in a hard labor prison.  He never got to see his family for this whole time, and that is the classic case for the majority of us.

My dad survived the prison, and thanks to President Ronald Reagan, who signed the Special Release Reeducation Center Detainee Resettlement Program that allows these communist prison camp survivors and their families to come to America as political refugees.

As a tradition, Vietnamese Americans from all over the world always commemorate Black April Month to remember the sacrifice of Vietnamese and American fallen heroes who paid the ultimate price for our freedom and democracy. To mourn the sufferings and death of all prisoners of war who were tortured and killed by the Viet Cong. To mourn the death and share the pain of millions of innocent civilians who died on the way seeking freedom and democracy.

It is a very emotional month for most of our Vietnamese Americans.  A small group of Vietnamese Americans always shows up every year on April 30 at the Boston City Hall Plaza to commemorate the Fall of Saigon right at 12pm, even during the shutdown time due to China Virus.

Editors Note: By the time I got to this email the event was underway -we regret not having this posted in time for those who would have wanted to attend.

All freedom and democracy lovers are invited to join us, and for your information, we always salute the American flag and the South Vietnam flag, which is the yellow flag with three horizontal red stripes.  The Viet Cong flag is the red flag with a yellow star, and Vietnamese Americans despise the sight of it just as the Jews do the NAZI flag.

Thank you for caring and sharing the information!

Here are some photos (below) from the Trump rally on Thursday so you can see the American flag and South Vietnam flag on our banners, signs, and T-shirts.  I just designed it for our special Trump rally event that occurred in Black April Month.

There is a deep meaning behind this: the South Vietnam flag is a symbol of freedom and democracy for the Vietnamese people, and lost the country to the Vietnamese communists backed by China and Russia. If we, the American people, do not exercise our civic duties and take necessary actions, our American flag could be a symbol of the past freedom and democracy that Americans know once the American communists who are backed by China and the New World Order forces complete their take over from the inside out.  I cry just thinking about that possibility because I know what it is like to lose your country:  you will LOSE EVERYTHING.

Hey Mikey: And What’s Sun-King Sununu Doing About It … ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-04-30 21:00 +0000

So NH-NeverTrump Journal is tweeting about the rainbow-bureaucracy sexualizing children in Hanover. We have a supposedly REPUBLICAN Governor and supposedly REPUBLICAN appointees running the State’s Department of Education and Attorney General’s office. And, apparently, NONE of them … not Sununu, not Edelblut, not Johnny-Woke Formella are doing anything about it.

I’m sure they would say …. our hands are tied, local control, local control, local control.  GASLIGHTING … if a school district were having children draw pictures of crosses instead of penises, Sununu would be screaming his outrage and Johnny-Woke would have already filed lawsuits.

I’m sure our NHGOP “leaders” would say they’re on it … Parental Bill of Rights! Parental Bill of Rights! Parental Bill of Rights! What LOSERS. The NHGOP controls the Department of Education and the Attorney General’s office … there is no reason to wait for the POSSIBLE passage of a Parental Bill of Rights to protect the children in Hanover.
