As much fun as it is for Republicans to watch Hunter Biden being dragged through the mud in order to ‘prove’ that he lied on a federal form — as if that’s something that should take five days rather than five minutes — the simple fact is that as part of ‘the people’, his right to own a gun is protected by the 2nd and 14th Amendments to the federal constitution.  Period.

There are no exceptions for drug users or convicted felons in the 2nd Amendment, just as there aren’t any in the 1st Amendment.  You don’t have to fill out a form in order to get permission to speak, nor could such a form be used to deny that right to drug users or convicted felons.  Nor could you be prosecuted for lying on such a form if it existed.

That is the heart of the Bruen decision:  That the 2nd Amendment must be accorded the same level of respect as the 1st; that the right to keep and bear arms is not some kind of second-class right.

Unfortunately, prosecutions like this one undermine that decision when we should be doing everything possible to strengthen it.

Which is to say, rather than cheering the fact that Hunter Biden is being prosecuted under laws that shouldn’t exist in the first place, Republicans should be working to repeal those laws — or, if they believe there is a need for such laws, to amend the Constitution to authorize them.

I mean, even Gavin Newsom has realized that placing ‘common sense’ restrictions on RKBA requires amending the Constitution.  Why is it so hard for Republicans to figure that out?

Now comes, the Appellant Daniel Richard, pro se, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 16 (8), submits this Sur-Reply to the Appellee’s Objection to the Appellants filing of Motion for Leave to file Late Authorities in this election law case, stating as follows:

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE SUPREME COURT
No. 2023-0097
Daniel Richard v. Christopher Sununu, et al.

1. On the 3rd day of June, the Town of Auburn has objected to the Appellants filing for leave of the court to file a new late authority from the Supreme Court of the United States, claiming that its recent decision in ALEXANDER v. SOUTH CAROLINA STATE CONFERENCE OF THE NAACP, 22-807 602 U.S.___ (2024), (Alexander) is irrelevant to this instant case, which is simply not true.

Summary

2. On the 14th day of August, the Appellant file a notice of new late authorities citing the recent decision of Moore v. Harper, 600 U.S. 1 (2023), “Harper” and the New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc., et al. v. Bruen— 20-843 (U.S. June 23, 2022), “Bruen” and the District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), as binding precedent.
3. Both the Town of Auburn and the state Appellee’s chose not to object to the Appellants filing of these new late authorities (Aug. 14 2023) (Moore, Bruen, Heller, decisions), therefore, they have waived their right to object to the evolution of those precedents as cited in the Alexander decision which cites, and reinforces the Appellant’s citation of new late authorities in recent SCOTUS decisions in Moore, Bruen, Heller, on August 14th, 2023.
4. The Town of Auburn claims as its objection on pg. 1-2, item 4, that Alexander case is not relevant because it is simply a redistricting case base “racial or partisan gerrymandering” and that did not create binding precedent about – any of the issues at play in the present case”; and on pg. 2. Item 5, that nothing in Alexander case is relevant to how this Court should interpret Part II, Article 32, of the New Hampshire Constitution.
5. Such a claims by the Town of Auburn has omitted a fact in law. The Smiley court precedent in 1932, established a detailed list of at least 12 other duties of the legislatures of the several states (see below), besides redistricting. The Smiley court (1932) Harper (2023) precedents reinforced a fact in law that a citizen, elector, and taxpayer of a State has constitutional standing under the Article I §4, cl. 1. to challenge ultra vires actions of the legislature.
6. The Smiley, Moore, and now Alexander decisions, are a line of redistricting cases going back to Smiley in 1932, which examined in great detail the Federal Elections Clause (Article I §4, cl. 1), and the duties of the legislatures of the several states when exercising their law-making powers under Article I §4, cl. 1.
7. The Appellant cited in his Memorandum of law on standing, filed on 24th day of April which stated on pg. 6, that the Smiley court (1932) examination of Article I §4, cl. 1, specifically listed twelve other important duties of the state legislatures besides redistricting. SCOTUS lists some of the state legislatures’ other duties under Article I §4, cl. 1, duties besides redistricting on pg. 21—22 of the Moore v. Harper opinion:

“By fulfilling their constitutional duty to craft the rules governing federal elections, state legislatures do not consent, ratify, or elect—they make laws. Elections are complex affairs, demanding rules that dictate everything from the date on which voters will go to the polls to the dimensions and font of individual ballots. Legislatures must “provide a complete code for congressional elections,” including regulations “relati[ng] to notices, registration, supervision of voting, protection of voters, prevention of fraud and corrupt practices, counting of votes, duties of inspectors and canvassers, and making and publication of election returns.” (Emphasis Added) [Smiley v. Holm, 285 U.S. 355, (1932)]; (Moore v. Harper et al. (2023)).

8. On the 29th day of November at oral arguments neither the Town of Auburn, nor the state Appellee’s address any of the federal questions, and failed to object to the late authorities of August 14, 2023. Therefore, they have waived their right to object now.
9. On the 25th day of April, the state Appellee’s, responding to the courts request for supplemental brief on the issue of standing, and chose not to address any federal questions, and it failed to object to the Appellants late authorities of August 14, 2023. Therefore, they have waived their right to object now.
10. On the 25th day of April, the Town of Auburn also filed a supplemental brief on the issue of standing. The Town acknowledges a fact in law on page 9-10 of their brief, that the Federal Election Clause, Article I §4, cl. 1, is controlling, and binding on the N.H. Legislature.

“See Kibbe, 142 N.H., at CITE (“At the same time, we have long recognized that the legislature is entitled to regulate the time, place, and manner of elections in New Hampshire…” (emphasis added)); see also U.S. Const. art. 1, s 4 (“The Times, Places, and Manner of holding Elections  for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof, but the Congress may at any time by law make of alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.” (emphasis added)).

11. The Plaintiff’s right to vote in State and Federal elections is protected by both the Const. N.H. Part I, art. 11 and U.S. Constitution Article 1, Section 2, and the Seventeenth Amendment and the laws written pursuant thereof. As the manner in which the Federal elections are conducted is question, and now under, Smiley, Moore, Alexander, line of cases under Article I §4, cl. 1, must now be examined under the Heller, Bruen, methodology applies, as the Plaintiff’s Federal voting rights are affected. The plain text of the Plaintiff’s voting rights is satisfied as he is an inhabitant of N.H. (defined by the Const. Part I, art. 11), and the Plaintiff is one of the people under the U.S. Constitution Article 1, Section 2, and the Seventeenth Amendment. Therefore, these cases are relevant and controlling in this instant case.

“Although the Elections Clause does not exempt state legislatures from the ordinary constraints imposed by state law, federal courts must not abandon their duty to exercise judicial review. This Court has an obligation to ensure that state court interpretations of state law do not evade federal law.” Moore v. Harper et al. (2023) Syllabus Pg. 5.

What does Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom have in common with Islam? Aside from the movie being a fantasy both are about murder/terror cults. Oh yes it is, kidnapping and slavery alive and well in the Muslim world to this day and feminists should be going crazy that in Islam a woman is worth 1/4th that of a man (Read a Koran).

Any poor woman raped in the muslim word must have four muslim men testify in her behalf or she can be put to death (Islamic law)- Read a Koran.

Did you know Muhammed married a 9 year old girl, yes he did, (Read a Koran) and to this day a Muslim father can sell or give away a 9 yo daughter.

Ever hear of “honor killing”? Muslim fathers can kill wives or daughters for offending Muslim traditions or disobediences to his commands. yes they can (Read a Koran).

And don’t get me starter on “The Religion of Peace.” Go on your computer for “the religion of peace” if you are lazy and don’t want to get a Koran.

Religion of Peace? The Koran has 109 verses dedicated to war with nonbelievers and very few dedicated to tolerance and peace. All Muslims must engage in this war directly or indirectly or they’ll be condemned to hell.

This has been the ideology for 1400 years. It’s a bad ideology.

Since 9-11 there has been 45,293 terrorist attacks world wide. In the past 30 days, 98 attacks. In 2023 there were 1,784 attacks that killed 11,424 people and injured 12,999. In 2022 there were 1,198 attacks killing 9,025 people and injuring 6,815. In 2021 there were 2,281 attacks, 11,831 dead 9,599 injured.

The list goes on and on like this for more than a thousand years of wars of conquest, slavery and terror.

Not so very peaceful really.

It all seems legitimate, but so did the justice system.

All things being equal (and just), this is likely grounds for a mistrial and the 34 felony counts being vacated pending a retrial. Or something. The lawyers can help me out with this. I don’t have much more to add than this excellent response to the original.

According to 51 former intelligence officials, that Facebook comment is Russian disinformation.

I know he’s joking, but seriously. Jurors are forbidden from discussing the case with anyone, including each other, outside the deliberation room. This is a huge breach, but given the railroading we’ve already witnessed, can we expect anything approaching typical procedure in this circumstance?

Closing thought: What if the leak was deliberate as an escape valve for what was a very poorly handled and badly executed political persecution? It’s kind of like Biden’s sudden rebound on the border, except what Biden did was meaningless. This. This would be something.

Back in 2019, Hasbro released a woke feminist version of one of its more historically popular board games, as Monopoly. Ms. Monopoly “recognizes inventions that women created or contributed to and gives bonuses to female players.”

That’s the sanitized Wikipedia description. What they mean by bonuses is that “Women get $1,900 at the start of the game and receive $240 salary when passing “Go,” whereas men start with $1,500 and receive a $200 salary.”

I’m not sure who made those choices, but my first thought was how insulting it is to women. In the regular version, everyone starts out the same, and sex is irrelevant. Gameplay and a bit of luck decide who wins. An observation shared across the political spectrum.

Reception towards Ms. Monopoly was mostly negative upon its announcement. Eric Thurm, the author of “Avidly Reads: Board Games”, said the game created a “surface-level fantasy world” where women succeed simply because of their gender. Madeleine Kearns of National Review called it “patronizing pointlessness”. Queens College‘s philosophy department head Christine Sypnowich said it was “unhelpful to portray women as needing special advantages.” Jennifer Borda, an associate professor specializing in feminist studies at the University of New Hampshire, suggested that it would be more suitable if male players instead faced challenges women face in the workplace.

I’m not sure what those challenges are. I know they exist, but I am not a woman, so I can’t possibly see that work through their eyes. I can say that even back in the 70s, I had female superiors. Bosses. Managers. No more or less competent than their male equivalents. They either knew and did their job, or they didn’t. Sex was irrelevant. I understand that’s not true everywhere, certainly not then and to some extent now, but these days, women graduate college at higher rates and make decent money, not that it matters in this economy.

There will always be glass ceilings and hurdles. Women haven’t made any sort of an inroad into men’s professional sports (for obvious reasons), and there aren’t very many female undersea welders or oil rig workers. I could list dozens of high-paying, dangerous jobs women don’t want, and there is an equally long list of things women don’t want in many other jobs that make them less of an asset and that likely affect pay.

Men and women are different in many ways, including how they view work, location, willingness to travel, hours, commitment, and job choices.

Ms. Monopoly does us a disservice by making assumptions that even women find insulting.

Maybe Monopoly needs a Trans Ms. Monopoly. A world where men pretending to be women have more rights and opportunities than actual women.

We’ll be waiting.

Before we answer the question in the headline, we need to reflect on D-Day in 1944. This action was the largest multinational assault in history. The invasion force included 7,000 ships and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from eight allied countries.

Almost 133,000 troops from the United States, the British Commonwealth, and their allies landed on D-Day. Casualties from these countries during the landing numbered 10,300. By June 30, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores.

The average age of American servicemen that day was 20. Barely out of high school, some lied about their age to volunteer; these heroes were the pinnacle of patriotism and sacrifice. 1944 was a point in time when there was a national love for our country. It was fashionable to be patriotic, and few would dissent from that national wave. These men and women left home to go to fight and die for future generations to enjoy peace and freedom. Some went to Europe to fight the Germans and Italians, while some, like my dad, went to the South Pacific to turn back the Japanese. They did their jobs in both theaters, came home, built a great country, and never spoke about their experiences. They did not start the battle but banded together to shut it down quickly and became the Greatest Generation, a title they will never lose.

Today, patriotism is challenged rather than embraced. You only need to look at the unrest on college campuses in May, where students occupied. Courtyards and buildings alike in an attempt to get these schools to suspend financial activities with Israel. These ignorant young adults have been indoctrinated since the first day they set foot in a classroom. They have been told America is an evil country built with the blood and sweat of Black slaves. They have been taught that capitalism is corrupt and designed so that only the rich do well. They are convinced that our Republic is broken and should be replaced with a Socialist form instead, where everyone has an equal outcome regardless of the effort invested.

How could we ever see these ungrateful individuals setting aside their dreams and wishes to come together and put their lives on the line to thwart a foe who wants to harm America? It is unrealistic, and we best hope that there is no Third Reich on the horizon, or we best learn to speak German.

We are seeing the beginnings of countries positioning themselves to become the sole superpower in control of the globe. China is attacking us economically and killing our citizens in their prime with Fentanyl. They are buying up our farmland and setting up thousands of illegal pot farms nationwide. They have been stealing our intellectual property for years, and our men and women have shown their stripes. Rather than rallying around the flag and saying not in our backyard, recruitment numbers are falling well below goals.

The Greatest Generation will be gone in a few years, and they will pass knowing that no future generation will threaten their title. It was well earned, and I am sure it gives them no satisfaction to see what America has evolved into. Today’s America is not what their brothers and sisters spilled their blood for. We salute and thank you, men and women of World War II, and we are sorry for what happened on our watch.

As the great President Ronald Reagan said in 1984: “If not us, who? If not now, when? The Greatest Generation said we will, and now. God Bless them and wrap his arms around them.

The post Joe BidenX Poops In Public appeared first on Granite Grok.

This Biden administration and his minions have been lying to us since January 20, 2021. They have been working tirelessly to confuse the American people by convoluting the broken, wide-open southern border with a broken legal immigration system the government has not addressed since the Reagan administration.

Whenever anyone presses the President on the chaos at our border, he gets defensive and says he has done all he can do and only Congress can give him the tools to close the border. Baloney! Biden created an open border on his first day with an executive order. Under Speaker McCarthy, the House passed H.R. 2 nearly two years ago, a comprehensive immigration bill sent to the Senate and buried by Chuck Schumer. Schumer refused to bring the bill to the floor for debate and vote, as they would rather gaslight the people, telling them the Republicans are standing in the way. Biden destroyed the border, and now he wants to ride in on his white horse to fix it.

Biden has said for years that if given the power and money, he would fix the border. Well, this afternoon, Biden will prove himself wrong as he plans to sign an executive order addressing the asylum issue that is creating a bottleneck at the border and pushing court dates for illegal crossers 5 to 7 years out. We all know the bleak chances of these “newcomers” ever seeing the inside of a courtroom unless they are arrested. Biden announced the signing of his executive order on Tuesday afternoon and started with a lie. Biden explained he has to take these dramatic steps because Republicans will not negotiate on a comprehensive immigration bill. That is absolutely false, but nobody calls him out on it. An immigration bill involves people coming into our country legally. It handles how many and who we let in. Legal immigrants are vetted, issued green cards, and placed on a path to citizenship. Immigration has nothing to do with people wading across the Rio Grande, crawling under concertina wire, and claiming asylum as they give themselves up to a border agent. These people have created their first illegal act in the United States with their actions and should not be lumped in with legal immigrants.

Biden continued to paint a vile picture of how MAGA Republicans will mishandle the border, which is why he has to take action to fix it himself. That is tantamount to me throwing a baseball through your living room window and then knocking on your door, saying I am the only person stepping up to fix your broken window. He spoke about Republicans tearing children from their mother’s arms and locking them in cages. First, you see the videos. Do you see any family units coming across the border or hundreds of single men? Secondly, the cages he refers to are the original Obama/ Biden cages, and to date, the Biden administration has lost over 85,000 minors in the system. It is suspected these children are now either in the illegal sex trade or underage labor force.

Nobody is inboard for this action. The Far Left is upset that the daily number was cut from 5,000, and the path to citizenship is unclear. The Right wants to know why now and why we are letting any illegals in.

Biden’s plan allows up to 2,500 illegals a day to enter our country before the border is closed. If the border is closed and secure, why are we allowing any illegals to enter? This executive order is a desperate Hail Mary as Biden continues to drop in the polls and he sees reelection slipping away. Had he not destroyed Trump’s plan out of spite on day one, he would not have to fix the problem. What Biden did today was show up to fix our window. Please do not give him the ball back.

How the Left Wins Elections by Transforming Nations – Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish Articles at DanielGreenfield.org

Demographics is destiny. The left is reshaping countries to match its demographic targets. It is turning nations into one great gerrymandered district composed of populations that are more likely to support it. It is doing this using immigration, economics, social policy and every tool at its disposal. And if conservatives don’t start understanding the demographic game of thrones, then they will lose the war.

 

Stop.  All.  Immigration.  For at least 50 years.  At least.  And deport those who came here illegally – regardless of anchor baby status.  (Because you know every fertile illegal is doubtless working on getting preggers.)

Borepatch: Rubicon

Many analogies to Rome.  Links in the original.

The most important leader at the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic was Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus,  He was the guy who noticed that while the Roman Republic had swept all foreign enemies before it, the working class had suffered despite the great riches of empire.  Tiberius Gracchus decided to run for public office despite his great family wealth, and to put forth his formidable political skills to benefit the Roman Working Joe.  He failed, because the Roman political establishment buried their traditional political differences in the face of Gracchus’ challenge, and in fact had him killed.

In short, the Roman Deep State closed ranks to block needed reform.  It was the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic as long cherished political norms (Mos Maiorum) were cast aside.  And so two generations of the Roman political elite were exterminated in a civil war so profound that what was left of the exhausted Republican Elite welcomed the first Imperator with open arms because he ended the civil wars.

Have you ever seen someone you used to know whom you thought was put together well? Then you run into them years later, and they look like they just gave up. That’s Vermont.

A shadow of its once great self, unwashed hair but lots of make-up, searching other people’s pants pockets for change to feed the washing machine at the liquor laundromat.

No unfiltered Lucky Strike hanging from one chapped lip – they more or less banned those things. And so it goes. The home state of Calvin Coolidge. A land carved out between New Hampshire and New York in part by a militia and a will to self-govern, and look at it now. It gave up. Democrats rule. The state even banned militias. So, it should be no surprise that this same state has an unconstitutional religious test.

A pair of Christian foster couples is suing the Vermont Department for Children & Families (DCF) for allegedly blocking them from taking on additional foster children due to their Christian views on gender and sexuality. …

Brian and Kaitlyn Wuoti and Michael and Rebecca Gantt began fostering in 2014 and 2016, respectively, with the Wuotis adopting two brothers and the Gantts taking in three children. Brian Wuoti and Michael Gantt are both Christian pastors, as well.

Seeking to renew their license in 2022, the Wuotis were initially hailed by a caseworker who said she “probably could not hand pick a more wonderful foster family,” but mention of their Christian faith and “that they could not say or do anything that went against faith-informed views about human sexuality” prompted their license to be revoked, according to the lawsuit.

If you want more details on that, the internet has plenty. I’m not here to tote that barge or lift that bail. I’m more interested in the culture behind it—the dangerous political undertow visible at a distance, like the flag pole problem in Nashua. It’s just a flag and a pole, but that’s not the matter that should concern you most. As I noted here, yesterday,

What’s the worst that could happen? The City has to stop pretending to be non-partisan and unbiased; no more citizen flags of any stripe. That’s what Boston did after wasting two million dollars defending its viewpoint discrimination and losing. Let them do that and then we get to ask them what else about their administration is just like the flagpole

The answer is probably everything.

Nashua also has a criminal disregard for public records law. That’s a problem, but the real issue is what lies beneath it. So it goes with a State like Vermont, which—without any public announcements or citizen approval—deployed and enforced a religious test for foster parents. You’d be a damned fool to think there isn’t one for other features of State government or that the culture that abets such a thing hasn’t poisoned other wells in “the community.”

The volume of impropriety is a proverbial iceberg.

It is why we pushed back so hard on a bill to charge fees for public documents. It is why we pushed back on a Camel’s Nose red flag bill proposed by a Republican. I don’t care what protections you think you included. You can make all the sensible arguments you want; this will lead to abuses whose risk is far greater to life and liberty than the odds that a mentally unstable person will look for and find a gun-free zone in which to harm others with a firearm (the cure to which is to ban gun-free zones by the way).

We do not open these doors. They are hills to die on. And the religious test is not a fluke. It is evidence that the patients are running the asylum, and if you bother to look, you can see the results. Higher taxes. Declining services. Dumber students. Increased lawlessness. Drug crimes. Drug deaths. And the only answer the inmates can think of is for you to give them more money and power. A cabal that calls you names and tries to destroy you if you dare to push back.

And you voted for this.

So, when you think about the case of the Christian Parents, remember that this has nothing to do with their faith or yours. It is about the demise of a once great state that valued natural rights before political power. That’s what this is about. It is about watching that political system gnaw away at your rights until you have none (in the name of Democracy, no less). And you can choose to continue to ignore it or not.

It’s your state.

But I don’t advise it.

It is sad and unfortunate that this question even comes to the surface. The of voting early and often in Chicago should be behind us. We should have the technology to secure an election so that the outcome is beyond scrutiny. We also know it is terribly naive to think that way. I am not a political or election expert, but I think I can look at a situation objectively and apply logic to my assessment. My take on the 2020 election is there is no way in hell that Joe Biden got 81 million votes legitimately, and the Democrats effectively manipulated the results. I guess that makes me a reluctant election denier. I accept that Joe Biden is our president, but not how he found his way to the Oval Office. With America in the grasp of a global pandemic and Joe Biden rarely leaving his Delaware basement, there is no logical explanation for Biden garnering over 12 million votes more than Barack Obama did when he set the previous record in 2008. Obama was a shooting star hitting the political scene. A Black man with little Washington experience who captured the minds of Democrats and all minorities saw him as a savior. Joe Biden was an aging white man who spent his life in Washington and had little to show for his five decades of playing the system except for a healthy retirement plan he could not account for. Joe was a symbol of the past and certainly not of hope for the future, except he grasped the WOKE culture with a Black female VP and the promise of diversity even at the expense of quality.

The Democrat machine put Joe Biden in the White House, and with the hatred manufactured on the Left for Donald Trump, they probably would have been successful with Bob Menendez. The Democrats used to be the Party of the People, but now they are masters of how to use the People. They had conditioned groups like the Blacks and Browns that they were the only Party that looked out for them, and thus, they were owed their votes. They own the abortion issue and, therefore, have a stranglehold on the women’s vote. And as anti-business as their policies prove, they still command the Union votes. They do a better job of registering new voters, utilizing early voting, and creating votes with ballot harvesting. And don’t forget they have Hollywood and the media shamelessly wearing uniforms with a Big D on their chests.

The Republicans are late to the game. They still think you can win the Presidency by playing by the rules, and now they are going to battle with a man who is either revered or hated and now wears a huge F on his suit coat. Most people cannot tell you what crime Trump committed to become a convicted felon, but that does not matter. The fact that every Democrat can call Trump a convicted felon will pay dividends. Trump’s conviction will be overturned, but probably not until after the election. The damage has been done, and it may be enough to keep Trump out of the Oval and put Biden/Harris, along with whoever is really running things back in.

Do I think Trump can win? Absolutely, but his VP pick is crucial. With either man, voters know this is a one-term deal. People will actually be voting for the VP. We know Harris and her record, and she definitely should not be anywhere near the Oval Office. Trump has some incredible talent to choose from. He may be forced to play the diversity card and go with Tim Scott or Nicky Haley. Either would be a good choice, but the Republicans have to commit to playing a dirty campaign if they want to win the prize. I think they can do it, and the country needs them to do it. Let’s get it done.

Sorry for the lack of warning about dropping the Comment of the Week again—it is temporary. I was busy and lost track of it last week, making it unlikely I’d get things in order in time for (last) Monday Morning.

This week is similar, as I suspect it will be the next few, so that’s on hold.

As noted previously, the new website, moving to a new server, and some other things that came up during the preparations have taken up the time I had to do other things, so those things will have to take a vacation.

I also suspect there will be an adjustment period when the new website is up. There will be questions about the commenting system and authors who can’t figure out how to use the new editor in the back end as well as getting things to work and look the way they should.

Yes, Growing pains for a website that’s been around for nearly twenty years (that b-day is in 2026).

Hang tight. We’ll get through this, and then I need to pester endlessly about fundraising (joy!).

Solar was never green. The lifecycle footprint from manufacture to transportation, installation, and end of life is top-heavy, with materials and processes that produce a lot of pollution. That was true before China captured most of the market.

China made them cheaper.

[T]he majority of experts consulted by Environmental Progress agree that China’s competitive advantage did not lie in an innovative new technological process, but rather in the very same factors the country has always used to outcompete the West: cheap coal-fired energy, mass government subsidies for strategic industries, and human labor operating in poor working conditions.

The IPCC and everyone else, for that matter, had been peddling old data based on manufacturing in places like Europe that use Natural Gas to power their production facilities. But China produces “more than 80 percent of global solar-grade polysilicon, a critical input into solar arrays. It doesn’t stop there; China manufactures 97 percent of the global supply of solar wafers, another essential component.”

IPCC and others “claim solar PV is 48 gCO2/kWh. But, a new investigation started by Italian researcher Enrico Mariotti suggests that the number is closer to between 170 and 250 gCO2/kWh, depending on the energy mix used to power PV production. If this estimate is accurate, solar would not compare favorably with natural gas, which is around 50 gCO2/kWh with carbon capture, and 400 to 500 without.”

According to his findings, the carbon intensity of solar panels manufactured in China and installed in European countries like Italy was off by an order of magnitude. An initial back-of-the-envelope calculation put it at between 170 and 250g of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour (kWh), as opposed to the official estimate from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of 20-40g per kWh. Way off.

The scale of the IPCC’s undercount shocks once applied to the EU’s “clean” energy plans. Following Mariutti’s math, the esteemed scientific body underestimates the emissions from the EU’s solar installations built in 2022 alone by 5.4 to 7.6 million metric tons, equivalent to adding 3.4 to 4.8 million cars to the road.

While this makes for an interesting story, there is a bigger one. No one seems to care. They don’t want to invest in finding the truth, which suggests to me it is an inconvenient one, and if word got out, the general public might not be so impressed by billions of tax dollars invested in green technology to buy solar components from Chin made with dirty coal.

That’s not even the biggest act of fraud.

You can’t build any of it without fossil fuels. None of this is possible without large-scale mining operations. The rare earth metals and the not so rare have huge carbon footprints. Things like concrete and steel are impossible without coal, oil, or gas. There is no energy future free from fossil fuels, and the future promised is not cleaner than one without the so-called renewables (that need ot be replaced every decade or two).

Enrico Mariutti’s revelation is unpopular not just because it exposes fraud but because he is one of them. “An environmental obsessive passionate about facilitating the world’s transition from fossil fuels to cleaner forms of energy.” He’s still on board; he’s just asking everyone to be honest about it, which is more than they can promise or deliver because the lie isn’t just about how dirty the new technology is; it is that it has nothing to do with CO2 or saving the planet.

The post Night Cap: Solar Panels Are Getting Exponentially Less Green By Leaps and Bounds appeared first on Granite Grok.

A recent report by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) concludes that Tyson Foods is responsible for dumping billions of gallons of contaminated water into American waterways. Though efforts to curtail water pollution are surely important, aspects of the so-called “scientific” report are cause for pause. In the name of “independent public science,” the UCS report reveals pervasive partisan content that suggests the organization – and the attack on Tyson Foods – may have broader implications than merely cleaning up rivers and streams.

Tyson Report Summary

Based on EPA estimates of facility discharges and past “studies,” the UCS report carries the headline-catchy title “Waste Deep” and chronicles the detrimental impact of effluent discharges from Tyson Foods’ meat processing facilities. Certainly, the consolidation of the agricultural and food processing industries in recent decades has fostered a concentration of pollutants at the expense also of human and animal health, food security, local communities, and rural culture. However, the propaganda of the proposed woke Utopian solution would increase government regulatory domination over small operators, a more deadly threat to humanity (and the ecosystem) than polluted waterways.

The report focuses on contaminants being discharged by the company into waterways, though conceding that Tyson Foods has “indicated it was working to address water quality where it operates and put forward a goal to ‘develop Contextual Water Plans at 11 high-risk U.S. locations by 2025.’” UCS does not propose to trust the company to clean up its own operations, instead advocating to regulate the entire industry: to expand EPA, USDA, and other federal oversight of the nation’s 7,000 meat and poultry processors because of the alleged sins of Tyson, which operates 41 plants in the US. This echoes new EPA rules that expand its jurisdiction over nitrogen and phosphorous discharges by meat and poultry processors despite the massive economic compliance costs this will place on small operators.

“Filling Olympic-Size Swimming Pools”

The UCS report employs the bizarre metric of claiming Tyson’s discharges would “fill 132,000 Olympic-size swimming pools.” This unscientific alarmism reflects a politicized assessment. However much cleaning up water discharges may be justified, the attack on Tyson Foods is a Trojan Horse to advance sweeping government control of food and farming in the name of the usual Marxist suspects seen in the European Union assault against farmers there: endangered species, environmental justice, climate change remediation, equity.

UCS claims it is a purveyor not of Big Government servitude but “real science.” Its website proclaims:

“The Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists works for strong, independent public science, a robust, transparent democracy, justice for overburdened communities, and the effective use of science in making policy that serves the common good.

“If these decisions are to be practical and effective, they must be grounded in facts and evidence. If they are to be just and equitable, everyone in the community must have a voice in their making. Thus science and democracy are indispensable partners in ensuring that public decisions serve the public interest.”

The Borg have spoken – in equity-speak. The report is saturated with social justice ideology, including concern for “marginalized communities” and the always dubious “equity” word indispensable to the woke “folks.” The unscientific ideological underpinnings of this purportedly science-based report are reflected in the policy shifts advocated.

Biden’s “Social Justice” Undermines Food Supplies

This assault on small operators for the transgressions of large corporations is a longstanding ruse common to the Biden administration’s supposed environmental initiatives. Although the UCS report glowingly recounts Biden’s support of small processing facilities (nothing partisan there), it ignores that his proposed expansion of federal regulatory power over small processors will undermine profitability and cause many to close – hurting small farms and local food security. Biden’s SEC, EPA, and USDA have all similarly introduced regulatory changes that will disproportionately impact small farms and local food production. The US federal assault on small farms looks more and more like the EU assault on farmers in many nations there.

Biden’s regulations for PFAS reveal a similar inversion: Toxic “forever chemicals” will be “studied” by the EPA for years before any cessation is implemented under new rules, though these discharges will fill more swimming pools than Tyson’s effluent, churned out rapidly thanks to government funding of EVs, heat pumps, wind turbines, and solar panels that spew thousands of these toxins into the air, water, and consumer products. Biden’s vaunted PFAS drinking water standards impose the clean-up costs on the very same marginalized communities for whom the UCS claims it is advocating.

How many Olympic-size swimming pools could have been filled from 2018-2022 with the jet fuel burned in planes for recreational travel, the gasoline used to mow expansive lawns weekly, or the diesel fuel consumed by snow-making machines for ski resorts? None of these produce food, and none are targets of Biden administration environmental justice regulation.

One might think that water cleanup regulations would not exempt such low-hanging environmental fruit in favor of undermining the food supply and driving up prices.

The experts have been reluctantly niggling at the edges of the truth for a while. The COVID vaccine wasn’t as safe or effective. The Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions didn’t do anything useful and might have done harm (and no one knows whose ideas they were to begin with). Oh, and post-vaccine, an awful lot of people died.

There is some willingness to admit that Covid vaccines could be partly to blame for the rise in excess deaths since the pandemic.

Researchers from The Netherlands analysed data from 47 Western countries and discovered there had been more than three million excess deaths since 2020, with the trend continuing despite the rollout of vaccines and containment measures.

They said the “unprecedented” figures “raised serious concerns” and called on governments to fully investigate the underlying causes, including possible vaccine harms.

You Don’t say?

The study found that across Europe, the US, and Australia, there had been more than one million excess deaths in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, but also 1.2 million in 2021 and 800,000 in 2022 after measures were implemented.

Researchers said the figure included deaths from COVID-19 and the “indirect effects of the health strategies to address the virus spread and infection.”

They warned that side effects linked to the Covid vaccine had included ischaemic stroke, acute coronary syndrome and brain haemorrhage, cardiovascular diseases, coagulation, haemorrhages, gastrointestinal events and blood clotting.

We won’t wait for them to acknowledge that you were right because that won’t happen. It is still too soon. Maybe after the election, we’ll get more research, and one day, more research – politically driven, of course – will find a need to lay bare the systemic fraud, probably as a distraction to cover more of it disguised as the new and improved safer more effective priorities of the public health industrial complex.

If any conspirators still live, maybe someone will be put on trial. It is, after all, part of the game. Hunter Biden and his uncle Jim are getting a good look at, perhaps, an appearance of judicial balance to offset the legal assault on a presidential candidate in a campaign year.

Another act in the play, but look – someone let someone else say vaccines might have contributed to a rise in all-cause mortality.

We are winning.

Are we?

The FDA just approved the latest COVID Booster—for Fall. It is formulated (at least on paper) to help with the latest “variant.” That’s misleading. These mRNA COVID shots are ineffective and more likely to result in infection and transmission, but if they kill the host, the virus in them will eventually die, too.

That’s never been properly disclosed.

But to end on a positive note, fewer and fewer people are volunteering to be test subjects for the latest thing in the covid vaccine universe. Uptake is way down.

I’ll take that win.

The post It’s Almost Okay To Admit That the Response To COVID Killed Some People appeared first on Granite Grok.

Senator Carson exemplifies the arrogance of power. She is seeking re-election as well as the powerful position of Senate President. But she needs to be retired by the voters.

As Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, she virtually singlehandedly hijacked and managed to kill a bill passed by a voice vote the House in 2017 that would have strengthened the rights of gun owners in our state. The story is a bit complex, but here goes:

New Hampshire is not a “home rule” state. This means that local governments cannot lawfully purport to legislate on any subject unless they have been explicitly authorized to do so by laws passed by our General Court and enacted into law. If a local government does something in contravention of this principle (sometimes called the “Dillon Rule”), there are at present only very limited avenues available for citizens to put the local governments back in their places, usually involving the hiring of lawyers and the spending of lots of money.

In 2003 and in 2011, New Hampshire enacted what is known as a state pre-emption law, RSA 159:26, that made it abundantly clear that “Except as otherwise specifically provided by statute, no ordinance or regulation of a political subdivision may regulate the sale, purchase, ownership, use, possession, transportation, licensing, permitting, taxation, or other matter pertaining to firearms, firearms components, ammunition, or firearms supplies in the state.”[emphasis added] Although probably not strictly necessary under the Dillon Rule, RSA 159:26 made it, once again, very clear what local government could not do regarding firearms.

However, RSA 159:26, which consists of about 11 lines of unambiguous text, fails to contain any enforcement mechanism that ordinary citizens could use against local governments that ignore the prohibitions of the state pre-emption law.

So, this writer was the prime sponsor of HB307, which materially strengthened RSA 159:26 by providing for a detailed enforcement mechanism that ordinary citizens could use without incurring large legal expenses. The text was modeled on a very successful law from another state.

The text of HB307 was drafted, ultimately modified, and adopted by the House on a voice vote after review and input from representatives of the National Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, and the NH Firearms Coalition.

But when HB307 was passed to the Senate and Carson’s Judiciary Committee, she engineered a vote of “non-concurrence” by the Senate, meaning that the Senate would not go along with the House bill. A Committee of Conference was held to try to iron out any issues.

In the Committee of Conference, Carson sought to condition approval of HB307 on a revision that would have removed a very critical word (“use”) in the prohibitory language of RSA 159:26, the effect of which would, in the view of this writer and many others, have effectively gutted RSA 159:26 as it exists.
Because what Carson wanted was so egregious and unacceptable, HB307 died and was never adopted, and we are stuck with RSA 159:26 without any meaningful enforcement tools.

As a side note, when this writer personally called Carson to try to discuss the issue, she said she was too busy to discuss it and brushed it off.

Carson is the Senator from District 14, consisting of Auburn, Hudson, and Londonderry, which reportedly has a small majority of registered Republican voters.

Because Carson has been a fixture in Concord for so long, it is assumed that she has substantial financial backing for her re-election campaign. So, anyone opposing her needs to be able to muster sufficient resources to make a run meaningful. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO FILE TO RUN.

Carson has been in the Senate for far too long, and as previously noted, she exemplifies the arrogance of power. She needs to be primaried and ultimately retired.

June 1st marked the beginning of hurricane season in the Atlantic basin. As we reported previously, everyone has been saying how warm the water is and appears desperate to see some storms. They were so desperate that on June 1st, the news was that they were tracking five tropical waves. FIVE!

They meant the weather. Five bits of weather.

Yesterday that number was down to three, same alarmism, but at no point—if you actually looked—did the National Hurricane Center ever report anything other than this.

Weather Underground – a great site with details, radar, and all that geeky business, has looked like this.

None. But there could be! And boy, oh, boy, we’re watching because we’re due, and everyone agrees it could be a hairy Atlantic Hurricane season. That is all true. We’ve done the research and looked to more reliable sources, and they all say the same thing. Lots of storms and lots of landfills. It has been a long time coming—just not this week.

This is the Atlantic Basin as of 9 AM ET Today (6-6-24).

There is weather with the potential. But week one is a nothing burger as the media plants its climate alarmism seeds. Again, I am not saying they are wrong about the potential. It looks like we could have a hell of a summer, but it has nothing to do with angry climate gods, and subjugating the West under a regime of taxation and declining lifestyles won’t make the weather better.
