Apparently, State Rep Damond Ford … Hamas’ guy in the NH House… “dislikes” having his tweets discussed on Granite Grok. But as with everything else Rep Hamas … oops! Sorry! Rep Ford … is wrong. We don’t want to stifle your opinions DT … we want to amplify and spread them. So the people of New Hampshire will know just what an incorrigible Woke-Communist you are.

Your campaign literature is so boilerplate and antiseptic. Not at all the DT we see on X. The DT on X is a cheerleader for Hamas. That DT sees everyone and everything in terms of race. That DT thinks parents have no right to know what happens in public schools. That DT supports the chemical castration of children (which the Woke-Communists euphemistically call “gender-affirming care.”) That DT is all for Critical Race Theory and celebrated when the law banning CRT was struck down by an activist federal judge.

 

I could go on and on and on. But to cut to the chase, it is unarguable that “candidate” DT Ford bears little to no resemblance to “Representative” DT Ford.

So, no we don’t want to stifle you … or even stiffle you (whatever that means). We want you to keep expressing your opinions on X. We want New Hampshire to see the real DT Ford,

Since the very first days Donald Trump won the 2016 election his political enemies, once respectfully called Democrats, made it clear they were going after him and his supporters with a vengeance.  Though he hadn’t been in office long enough to warrant impeachment Rashida Tlaib defiantly announced to a crowd of her fellow Americans and constituents they were going to “impeach the m****rf****r”.  This type of prophetic belligerence was a harbinger of what lay ahead.  Her colleague Maxine Waters rallied a crowd outside of the capitol building calling for, essentially violence, by her followers to verbally or otherwise assault Trump supporting Americans in public, which they would ultimately do, in restaurants and at their homes.  These weren’t the politics of disagreement but intimidation.

Why?  Donald Trump had the temerity to call out the legacy media for lying.  He slummed with soon to be pariahs like Alex Jones who had done the same in relative anonymity, that is, until it was discovered he had enough listeners to swing the vote in favor of Donald Trump.  Jones would become the first un-personed and de-platformed man in modern America.

Trump also played golf with troglodytes boozers like John Daley and Kid Rock.  He entertained himself in the uncouth manner of WWE wrestling and UFC fights.  Though once a darling insider invited to the swankiest parties he was never fully blue-blooded. He played the game while remaining true to himself as a lover of America and Americans.  Something Democrats, who fancy themselves champions of the oppressed, only do as virtue signaling.  They don’t love the homeless, they enable them.  They don’t love black people, they assume they’re too dumb to pass tests, get IDs, or succeed on a level playing field.  They confuse pandering for passion and excuses for empathy.

Yesterday’s verdict against Trump was the culmination of years of trying to convict him of some level of high crimes or misdemeanors (turned felonies) since the moment he upset the deep state darling Hillary Clinton.  Despite triumphantly announcing her leading in the polls 90% to 10%, with media in her pocket and derisive laughter from would-be journalists and celebrities mocking Trump, the American people carried him to victory.  I, like so many others, was in disbelief the morning I saw his victory announced.  Though I was well aware of a corrupt and cult-like media apparatus which had been exposed for dutifully lying to Americans about everything from the JFK assassination to global cooling then global warming then climate change, constantly on high alert for the next “crisis” I still believed the pollsters were faithful.

Yet the last eight years have seen the falling down of virtually every institution and every public hero exposing this great nation for its inherent and fatal flaw – belief that its greatness is assumed and not earned.

Medicine no longer has the pristine integrity of the symbolic white coats worn by doctors.  Thanks to social media we know now our healthcare system is basically a sick-care system run by Big Pharma.

Science has lost its way as we’ve learned “studies show” means “companies paid-for” desired results.

And pollsters have now been so far off with their data not even Vegas would touch their odds of being accurate.

Today was perhaps the final nail in the coffin of justice no longer being blind but biased and buyable.  We already knew there were two-tiers to the justice system: one for those with money and prestige and another for the rest of us.  Yet it was bifurcated again when Soros backed DA’s began releasing would be Democrat voters, like BLM rioters, looters and pedophiles en masse along with opening the border to multinational migrants, many of who fit the same description.

The double-standard extends now to the billionaire class where a non-establishment president can be hounded like a wild fox while the billionaires known to frequent Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking island remain unmolested for their crimes.  Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, both heavy Democrat donors, sit atop the great wealth transfer from America’s middle class while Elon Musk, once the savior of the planet, is now pilloried for taking a Trump-like turn to face the behemoth that is elite globalism and point out their corruption.  Robert DeNiro has used his bully-pulpit for foul-mouth tirade after foul-mouth tirade until it caught up to him in New York this week where he was shouted down by the mom of Trump supporters.  In a moment of extreme irony he said to his haters “we’re trying to be decent people and you’re a bunch of gangsters”, somehow forgetting he was busted for involvement in a prostitution ring and made his fortune playing Mafiosi.

The gaslighting has hit almost critical mass.  The party that tells you Richard Levine is now Rachel Levine first female admiral in American military history; that Catholics attending Latin mass and parents expressing displeasure with their school boards are domestic terrorists but Drag Queens are reliable sources for early child literacy; that Ukraine, notorious for human trafficking while rated in the top thirty-five most corrupt countries, is a democracy worth defending with billions of US tax-payer dollars; that Google and Twitter knowingly swayed the election by covering up the Hunter Biden laptop story and colluding with feds to suppress conservative communication but the 2020 election was the “freest and most fair” in US history; and that Joe Biden is a cagey and deft political maneuverer not a senile and daft life-time political grifter – are now telling you they have carried out justice.

Never mind the case was already avoided by better prosecutors who failed to take it on because of how weak it was.  Or that the statute of limitations had already run out.  Or the crimes listed were so vague even legal experts weren’t clear on what Bragg’s legal theory was.  Or that Alvin Bragg ran on a platform to “get Donald Trump”. Or that Bragg has one set of merciful laws for actual criminals and another vindictive set for a former President of the United States.  Or that judge Merchan’s daughter has made millions representing both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, Trump’s political rivals.  Or that Bragg’s team used questionable legal means to elevate misdemeanors to felonies.  Or that Judge Merchan gagged Trump from publically defending himself.  Or that he disallowed cameras in perhaps the most important trial in American history.  Or that Bragg and the media laughed post-verdict about having taken down a president and the Republican front-runner.  No, forget all of that.

They want you to believe this was about no one being above the law as they sip chardonnay in five-star restaurants with cities filling with homeless people and illegal immigrants displacing American children and working families.  They want you to believe they are the true arbiters of justice after causing millions of Americans to get vaccinated against their will while Ivy League presidents who commit serial plagiarism remain in their cushy $800k/year jobs.  They want you to believe they are for a woman’s right to choose while not being able to legally define what a woman is nor extending those rights to women suddenly forced to compete against men in women’s sports.  They want you to believe we have a patriarchy problem while their patriarchs set out to “fundamentally transform America”.

It’s happened.  They have fundamentally transformed America, and now they have transformed its justice system.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

The post The Trans-justice Case Against Trump appeared first on Granite Grok.

Do you really believe that the same people who would brazenly rig a criminal trial against the most high-profile defendant imaginable … a former President and current leading candidate for that very office … would hesitate to rig an election? Do you not understand that the “conviction” of Trump and the other “lawfare” are just a small, small part of how the 2024 election is being rigged? Do you really believe that the same “judge” who just presided over a Stalinesque show-trial, including jury-instructions that all but instructed you must find Trump guilty, would hesitate to place Trump under some kind of house-arrest or even in jail when he is sentenced on July 11th, thereby preventing him from campaiging?

I could go on, but hopefully even the bitterest of bitter-clingers get the point. There is “looking on the bright side” and optimism, and then there is delusion. And claiming that the bogus guilty conviction wins the election for Trump is delusional. It is just a small taste of what the Left has planned to prevent Trump from becoming President. The worst is yet to come.

This coming Wednesday, 6/5/24, marks the beginning of candidate filing time, which ends the following Friday, Flag Day and Trump’s birthday.  I have yet to get any intel on the enemy camp’s calendar, but there are three up-ballot people on our side who have appointments with Scanlan (and the media circus) or official intentions to file on opening day.

Chuck Morse is said to be the early bird at 8 am.  Seeing that Kelly Ayotte is the State Royal Family’s “chosen one,” I’ll be voting for Chuck, but I’m writing this more to rally up the troops for two others.  More on them in a moment.

Let me say for the record that work and other obligations often get in the way, and I’m in no position to choose other people’s vacation time. But with that said, please consider a trip to Concord on Wednesday because TWO great candidates worthy of support will be filing in the afternoon, one on my own ballot and one not.

If you happen to vote in one of the nine towns I’m about to list, you’ll have an opportunity to meet two up-ballot candidates on YOUR ballot.  Those towns are Loudon, Pittsfield, Chichester, Epsom, Pembroke, Allenstown, Deerfield, Northwood and Nottingham.  However, support is welcome from everyone, no matter where you call home.

The two candidates are Lily Tang Williams (for Congress) and Nurse Terese (for Executive Council).

Readers should be familiar with both of them by now, but please explore the pages in their links as most frequently asked questions will be answered there.  Though not required, please RSVP to them if you plan to attend so enough signs can be provided for the sign waves.

There is one housekeeping reminder worth mentioning.  Please respect the rules against signs inside Flags Hall, which is the atrium you walk into when using the front door.  Most of us have a decent relationship with security, and Wednesday is all about making the candidates look their very best.  I would even recommend using the side entrance, though they won’t shoot you if you’re just quickly walking through to get to the stairs/elevator.  They also don’t allow totems inside the building because of all the old paintings on the hallway walls.

Here’s hoping to see lots of fellow supporters there!

The post Wednesday June 5, Mark Your Calendars! appeared first on Granite Grok.

Patrick Henry was an American politician, planter, and renowned orator. He was also a great patriot and signer of the Declaration of Independence. As a founding Father, he served as the first and sixth post-colonial Governor of Virginia from 1776-1779 and 1784-1786.

He was a native of Hanover County, Virginia, and was primarily educated at home. He failed at several business ventures and became a lawyer through self-study.

He was a staunch resister of a strong centralized government and often led the way in speeches and military ventures to bring freedom from Britain to the colonies.

He was named after his Uncle who was an Anglican minister and until his death (death of his Uncle) he often referred to himself as Patrick Henry Jr.. Religion played a key role in Henry’s life. While a child, the Great Awakening reached Virginia. His father’s mother often took him to hear Presbyterian ministers and those associated with the revival. He learned that it is not enough to save one’s own soul; one should help save society. He also learned that oratory should reach the heart, not just persuade based on reason alone. His oratory followed in the fashion of these revival preachers.

He was critical of the State of Virginia because he felt that slavery and lack of religious toleration had retarded its development. You must remember that Anglicanism was the state sponsored (British) mandated religion in the colonies. The Anglican pastors were paid by the King or local governments and were in a place of mandatory adherence, though it would be hard to check up on each congregant to make sure they were practicing their faith.

He told the Virginia Ratifying Convention in 1788, “That religion or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence, and therefore all men have an equal, natural and unalienable right to free exercise of religion according to dictates of conscience, and that no particular religious sect or society out to be favored or established by law in preference to others.”

At the Second Virginia Convention, which was convened at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Richmond on March 20, 1775, Henry offered amendments to the petition by the Planters of the Colony of Jamaica, which was being recommended by the Convention to adopt. He defended his amendment with his most famous quote:

If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable, and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. “Gentlemen may cry, ‘Peace, Peace,’ but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? … Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”

What a brave patriot!

I guess we can conclude that Patrick Henry was not shy about his faith!

Until next time…

The Biden economy has meant most of us are taking a beating but that group includes Big Wind. Inflation makes everything cost more, as does demand, and false demand for wind energy coupled with other factors have made the business anything but profitable.

Siemens Gamesa [the Spanish renewable spin-off of German parent Siemens Energy] plans to cut about 4,100 jobs from its wind turbine division as the company continues to restructure its business. The downsizing, reported May 28 by Reuters, impacts about 15% of the company’s workforce. The news service said the layoffs were noted in an internal letter to staff from CEO Jochen Eickholt. The cuts were expected after the company reported a €4.6 billion ($4.9 billion) loss in 2023, triggered by the suspension of sales for two wind turbine models.

Rising costs have resulted in a growing number of canceled developments, as the price guarantees required to lower the cost of energy are impossible for even Democratic governors to sign off on. Without the bailouts, handouts, and prop-ups, the industry is struggling.

Don’t think for two seconds that Biden and his little Green henchmen don’t realize the tax credits and subsidy losses are killing the grift. These renewables simply, as the Warren Buffet quote above makes clear and anyone in CA knows, cannot exist in a free market state. They cannot stand on their own. They have to have the government propping them up, basically forever.

So that’s what Biden’s proposing and for a wide swath of his climate cult friends. Every little pig to the trough!

Locally, you’ll have likely heard that New Hampshire has an offshore wind commission to prop up Dave ‘Whale Killer’ Watters’s green dreams. The project is truly a three-state boondoggle, including Massachusetts and Maine. The NH Commies have been meeting for years, but there’s been very little public-facing evidence, and more people who should know about it don’t than do. Recent meetings to fast-track this scam before Biden is de-selected as president hope to tap into and seal a deal on more taxpayer money.

I’m not sure your great-grandchildren will appreciate the additional debt and interest you’ll have heaped upon them for no good reason, especially since there’s s a rumor we’re chasing that while the cables will be onshored in Seabrook, New Hampshire, Granite Staters might not be getting any of the power.

It makes you wonder why we’ve got a commission. If this is like Northern Pass, you’d expect them to want to keep it as quiet as possible. Piss off the fisherman, lobsterman, and everyone else who is against it – and as they learn in the last day’s efforts to seal the deal (at the expense of the seals, perhaps), it would be inconvenient to learn we get nothing out of it.

I assume it can be built, and given everything else I’ve written, there’s no guarantee, so assume it will and act like you’d rather it not.

Meeting times and dates are available here – the next one is Monday. If you cna go, get us some video or sound, please. They won’t want to let you take, and they won’t want to answer our questions, but that’s good content if you can get it.

 

 

The post Is Big Wind Sucking Fumes? appeared first on Granite Grok.

In the annals of American history, moments of undeniable momentum and change are marked by a singular certainty: Nothing can stop what is coming. Such is the case as we stand on the precipice of a transformative period in our nation’s journey. The echoes of past struggles and triumphs resonate through the corridors of power, yet the future beckons with a promise of renewal and rebirth.

Let us venture bravely into the heart of the storm, wading into the forces shaping our destiny, and give a big salute to the indomitable spirit that fuels the march towards a brighter tomorrow. Amidst all these clashes and cacophony, one truth emerges clear and unyielding: The momentum of progress cannot be halted.

Let’s face it: In the face of adversity, Donald J. Trump stands tall, unyielding in the face of a rigged political witch hunt. This false conviction on charges stemming from an unjust trial marks a pivotal moment in American history, one that is more than a raging debate within the nation. Amidst the turmoil, Trump’s resilience and unwavering commitment to his principles shine through for the millions of Americans who share his vision for the future.

The trial that has led to Trump’s conviction has been met with skepticism and controversy all around, with a big question mark on its fairness and impartiality. It is beyond mere assertion that the proceedings were part of a more extensive political witch hunt, and the entire ordeal is nothing short of a politically motivated attempt to silence him. The raids on his home, the arrest, and the subsequent conviction all lead to outrage and disbelief, fueling fears of a two-tiered justice system where the powerful are exempt from the laws they enforce upon others.

Amidst the chaos, Trump’s call to action is clear and compelling. We all have to rally behind him to push back against an unprecedented attack on the freedoms of countless Americans. His words are a rallying cry, a clarion call to unite and fight for the values he believes define America’s greatness. Once again, with the White House within reach, Trump is asking us to stand shoulder to shoulder with him to ensure that Biden understands the strength and resolve of those who oppose him.

Trump’s vision for America is unity, strength, and prosperity. He promises to lead the charge against what he perceives as the forces seeking to undermine the nation’s very fabric. By uniting under his banner, Trump believes that his supporters can turn the tide, ensuring that Joe Biden’s chances of securing a second term come to an abrupt end. This is not merely a battle for the presidency; it is a struggle for the soul of America to ensure that the country remains true to its founding principles.

The choice is evident as we stand on the brink of a historic moment. Will we allow the voices of dissent and division to drown out the calls for unity and strength? Or will we rise to the occasion, standing firm with Donald J. Trump as he fights to reclaim the White House and restore America to its rightful place as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the world?

This is our moment. This is our chance to make history. With Trump at the helm, leading the charge against injustice and for the preservation of American ideals, we have the opportunity to ensure that Joe Biden regrets ever challenging the will of the people. Together, we can make America great again.

The spirit of the American people shines brightest. As we approach the critical moment of truth on November 5th, the real power lies not in the halls of justice or the chambers of Congress but in the hands of every voter nationwide. Joe Biden and the Democrats may seek to manipulate the narrative and use trial outcomes to sway public opinion. Still, the accurate measure of a leader—and the fate of our nation—will be determined by the will of the people at the ballot box.

This election is not just another vote but a referendum on the essence of what America stands for. It tests whether we will allow the political elite to dictate our destiny or if we, the citizens, will take control of our future. The choice before us is stark: continue down the path of division and mistrust or unite behind a leader who promises to restore the pillars of strength, freedom, and prosperity that made America great.

Donald Trump has stood firm against the challenges thrown at him, refusing to be silenced or deterred from his mission to Make America Great Again. Now, it falls to us – the voters – to echo his call to action. On November 5th, let us send a resounding message to Washington: We will not be swayed by sham trials or manipulated by political games. Our verdict will be cast in ballots, and we will choose our path forward together.

Vote Trump. Stand with him. Let our collective voice be heard, loud and clear, as we reaffirm our commitment to the principles that bind us Americans. This is our moment to seize, our chance to shape the future. United, we can ensure that Joe Biden and the Democrats understand that America’s true power resides with its people and that on November 5th, we will make our voices heard.

The post Nothing, and I Mean Nothing, Can Stop Trump! appeared first on Granite Grok.

One year ago I told you bitter-clingers that this was coming … that the Left and the UniParty-GOP would NEVER let Trump become President again … that they would do anything and everything to maintain their grip on power. From last April:

Perhaps the worst take I’ve seen on the Bragg indictment was on this site: Alvin Bragg Just Elected Donald Trump. Take off the rose-colored glasses and look around you … half the voters in this country, the Blue half, want their political opponents put in jail.

The Bragg indictment is just the beginning. Georgia is going to indict Trump … you know the grand jury headed by that woke forewoman who told the regime-media that she fantasizes about personally serving a subpoena on Trump … on bogus charges too.

And the Biden-regime’s totally corrupt DOJ is going to indict Trump on bogus charges too.

And if somehow Trump … despite all these political prosecutions, and despite elections in the crucial swing-States: AZ, GA, NV, PA being rigged … manages to win the general election, the Left will ASSASSINATE him. They will kill him rather than allow him to become President again.

And if you don’t think the permanent government in Washington DC would assassinate Trump if that is what it takes to keep him out of power, then you are willfully blind to what America has become.

Yet even though Trump is a mere months from being tossed into jail or house-arrest or whatever is coming next, you bitter-clingers refuse to acknowledge that you are living in a Police State. That America, “land of the free,” no longer exists. That America is, at best, a pseudo-democracy.

But just keep telling yourselves that the same people who are celebrating a Stalinist show-trial are going to conduct a fair election.

 

The post Night Cap: Trump Verdict … I Told You So appeared first on Granite Grok.

The Seabrook School Board has been challenging the implementation of the Community School Model for their school. While Community Schools sound good for families, that’s not the case.

Community Schools were developed by the CDC for public schools. They are called Whole School, Whole Community, and Whole Child schools. Essentially, parents are marginalized because some people believe that public schools can do a far better job of raising children. Read more about that here.

While that may be the case for some neglected children who attend public schools, that’s not the case for all Seabrook families. Over the past year, Seabrook parents have been attending school board meetings and asking the administrators to focus on academics (low proficiency scores) and persistent bullying.

I recently wrote to the Superintendent in SAU21 about the Community School Model and questioned why this is a priority for Seabrook. I mentioned the numerous problems that erupt when reformers turn public schools into medical and mental health clinics for children. New Hampshire couldn’t even vaccinate children properly last year. Two NH children were vaccinated after their parents told the schools NOT to vaccinate their children. When parents are absent or removed from the process, expect big mistakes to occur. Years ago in PA, 6th-grade girls were forced to undergo a vaginal exam without their parent’s knowledge or consent.

The School Board members in Seabrook have been questioning and pushing back on the grant money that will be used to implement the Community School Model. I attended a school board meeting recently where the administrators made it sound like this is all about expanding preschool. Why would anyone care about expanding preschool for children? (Discussion starts at 21:30)

While I’m not opposed to preschool, expanding preschool doesn’t address the pressing problems in the school. It may provide free daycare for working families, but there was no mention of using the $1.3 MILLION dollars in federal aid for working families. One gets the impression that preschool is so important that they must accept the federal money in order to improve the quality of education in the school. Nothing can be further from the truth.

Studies have shown that preschoolers do not make long-term real academic gains. In fact, preschool is supposed to be more about socializing than academics anyway. So how does that help with the problems that plague this school?

Years ago, a Head Start Study, which I included in my email to the Superintendent here, exposed the fallacy of pushing universal preschool. Head Start showed no lasting value to children. Education researchers pointed to the need to focus on elementary and secondary schools.

Sci-Tech Daily recently ran an article reporting on a study from Teachers College, Columbia University, the University of Virginia, the University of California-Irvine, and the University of Delaware That Revealed the Varied Impact of Preschool Programs on Long-Term School Success.

 

The study, “Unsettled Science on longer-run effects of early education,” published today (May 2) in the journal Science, examined published evaluations of well-established, publicly funded preschool programs using rigorous designs. The four evaluations reported a mix of positive, negative, and no differences in the school performance of children who did and did not attend preschool programs in elementary school and beyond.
AND
Although most recent evaluations show public preschool programs improve literacy and math skills at school entry, that advantage fades quickly after children enter elementary school.

 

This is essentially what the Head Start Study showed, too.

So why is the federal government moving forward with money for schools to implement the expansion of preschool? Maybe it’s not really about preschool as we’ve been led to believe.

When the Principal of Seabrook resigned recently, he admitted that it was because the board wasn’t supporting the mental health of the students. HUH? I thought this was about preschool. Now the Principal is saying this money is to support the students’ mental health. I’m not surprised, with the Community School model, public schools become mental and medical clinics but with a long list of problems that follow.

What else did they have in store for Seabrook and SAU21?

I filed a 91-a Right to Know Request asking to see emails that were exchanged on this federal grant. Within one of the emails you will find a link to the U.S. Department of Education. The US DoE provides a short video on how to implement “logic models.”  If you fast forward to about the 12-minute mark, you can see how they plan to collect data on the students and track them through their lifetime. No students are exempt, and there’s no way to opt out. Community School grant money has been sent to Manchester, Seabrook, Ringe, and Concord.

As you can see from these emails, the goal wasn’t just to expand preschool but to begin with infants and expand it to all of the schools in SAU21.

Screenshot Screenshot

Do we have an integrity problem in SAU21?

The board wasn’t told this; they were told it was all about expanding preschool. Go here and listen at the 21:30 mark. This is beginning to look like an integrity issue with the SAU21 administrators. The Seabrook School Board then voted to review all grant applications in excess of $25k. They want to make sure that they agree with what the administrators are doing.

This really wasn’t about expanding preschool at all. This is exactly what the CDC envisions for all schools: Cradle to Grave, where the government promises to take care of us from the cradle to the grave. They are going to collect and share data on your children from birth through their careers.

What’s the problem with that?
Emmett McGroarty, an attorney, described to the U.S. Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking in Washington, D.C., that the federal government’s data mining can have an intimidating effect on individuals, even if the data is never used.

Until I can write about this ridiculous, rigged trial being overturned, I hope this will be my last article on this sad chapter in our history. Alvin Bragg, like Leticia James, is the epitome of the new generation of legal minds who do not fight crime but people. Bragg and James campaigned on the promise that they would “get” Donald Trump. Neither had specific crimes they could point to, but this trial proved you do not need a crime to convict your target. The actual crime that New York was trying Trump for violating was not disclosed until the summation and directions to the jury. That violates the 5th Amendment, just one of many reasons this verdict will be overturned. Democrats like to profess they are the Party of the Rule of Law, but this trial shows how far from the Law they run.

The tone for Republicans was evident as soon as the verdict was announced. The number of people flocking to the Trump website was so large that the site crashed for a short time until the techs could resurrect it and get the cash register running smoothly again. James Madison wrote about a day like today in the Federalist Papers. Madison, along with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, wrote extensively in The Federalist Papers to warn a budding new democracy of the dangers of a mob, or faction, rule, and those brilliant men who came together to give birth to this great country made provisions to overcome such a day. This dark day in our history will put those plans to the test. No one is above the law, but this trial showed that the law, used as a weapon, can bring anyone down.

Alvin Bragg went to the podium within hours of the verdict, thanked the jury, and praised the prosecution team for bringing the correct ending to this trial of Donald Trump. He explained that this type of white-collar crime is the purpose of the office of the District Attorney. That is such a sad and stupid statement and so understandable coming from a George Soros-planted DA. As New York City is turning into a hell-hole because of the litany of crimes that Bragg announced on his first day, his office would not pursue.

Among the crimes, Bragg said his office would not prosecute:

• Marijuana misdemeanors, including selling more than three ounces.
• Not paying public transportation fare.
• Trespassing, except a fourth-degree stalking charge
• Resisting arrest
• Obstructing governmental administration
• Prostitution.

Alvin Bragg believes not prosecuting these offenses will make the city safer and the criminal justice system more fair. Those are the beliefs of a man who should not have the power of the office of District Attorney. On the day that Bragg was holding his post-trial celebration, a man was attacking patrons with a machete in a New York McDonald’s. Boy, Trump’s conviction sure made the day safer for those folks.

And let’s talk about this “praiseworthy” jury. These 12 men and women and the dozens of alternates did not ask to be on this jury, but they certainly did not take their responsibility seriously. I have been on three juries, and none of the cases held the weight of this trial. They were simple assault or burglary cases that took hours of deliberation and compromise to decide a verdict. There were many rounds before a unanimous consensus was reached. In this case, the jury took only a few hours and one free lunch to reach a consensus on 34 indictments.

That is absurd.

The testimony of a hooker/pornstar and a convicted perjurer was in no way persuasive enough to satisfy reasonable doubt on every fabricated charge. The task this jury faced had some pundits predicting at least a week of deliberation and would still probably produce a hung jury, not for this bunch of the newest Liberal heroes. They had to set a record for the quickest time to convict a man, with no prior criminal history, of nearly three dozen charges, or maybe they were just playing their role in this charade. With every bad decision by Bragg and the wrong ruling by Merchan, this outcome should have been obvious. Those few hours in the Jury Room will profoundly impact our country’s future.

I wrote the following essay on my old blog, specifically about the “sudden” explosion of Islamic migrants in many Western countries:

 

E The Islamic Lotus

 

From that above link – and note the year, 2018! – I pulled this screen grab of an analogy I’d read – and cited from memory – in a scifi book about why Neanderthals (hidden among us) didn’t see rising Homo Sapiens as a dire threat until they were overwhelmed “suddenly” by us (no, I don’t recall the name of the book but it was an entertaining read):

 

 

And, indeed, we’re suddenly noticing.

If you are not shaken to your core by this, something is wrong with you (barenakedislam.com)

Remember this video?

Do keep in mind this was made several years ago.  It’s worse, and visibly so, now… but it’s only suddenly that we’re really seeing it.  Here is another, discussing Canada, more recent:

“By 2060, Muslims will be the biggest religious group the world over. […] Are you going to oppose sharia even then? We have families. We are making babies. You’re not. […]One day we can have a Muslim majority nation here in Canada. Right in your face”

And I don’t have it bookmarked on this computer, but I remember some years ago seeing a video of an Imam in Europe preaching to a crowd of Muslims that the future belongs to them.  ON CUE, every family there with children raised up their infants and toddlers.  They have a vision and a plan, and think in decades and centuries – while our politicians and even public, for the most part, think until the next election.

Goodbye Andalus.  I mean Spain.

Goodbye Greece.

Goodbye Germany and Austria.  Jan Sobieski III weeps.

Etc.

AWARENESS EXPLOSIONS

But it’s far bigger than merely Islamic hijra.

In the last few years we’ve seen multiple topics where seemingly-small things have – in some cases literally – exploded into view, very publicly.  There is the food crisis – which gets people grumbling about prices and occasional shortages but is not of great concern as yet, but which will only truly be noticed when shelves look like this:

We’re now seeing, with the prosecutions persecutions of President Trump, just how deeply-rooted political considerations, never mind financial payoffs and graft, are in the supposedly-impartial Judicial system.

It does seem to be that way.

I had the occasion to reread an essay of mine from a few years ago:

Just Give Me Yavneh – Liberty’s Torch (libertystorch.info)

Note how, in case after case, people say “Oh, that can’t happen here” or “That’s just not possible” or some such.  Same thing here.  And while nobody wants to be in a situation where every single thing that comes across our consciousness should cause twitches of paranoia and fear, lest our system overload from the Boy who cried wolf syndrome, at the same time, worry has a function.

Normalcy bias is a real thing.  Stability privilege is a real thing.  And things are about to get very, very unstable.  The avalanche has started.  We’re about to see the anomaly end.

 

 

We’re in the endgame of the spreading lotus plant on many, many fronts.  Prepare yourself.

Whether someone supports Trump or not, if they can’t see that this case and ALL of the other cases against Trump are 100% politically motivated and completely bogus, they should not be allowed to hold office or vote in ANY future election because they are either too dumb to realize the damage that this has done to the American justice system or they are too corrupt and their lust for power so strong that they would do ANYTHING including destroy the country to stay in power.

The Alvin Bragg indictment used a Federal election law concerning the reporting of election expenses and cobbled that together with a New York statute, of which the statute of limitations had expired, to bring 34 charges that amount to a Trump employee marking a legitimate “Legal Expense” as a legal expense, instead of marking it as a campaign expense when the payment had nothing to do with Trump’s presidential campaign.

The judge, who donated large sums of money to the F Joe Biden campaign and that has a daughter that works for an organization that collects donations for F Joe Biden campaign as well, WAS REQUIRED by the New York State Legal ethics code to recuse himself. He did not.

The prosecution did not even lay out the actual crime in the indictment. The judge would not let Trump’s legal team provide a proper defense and made Trump’s lawyers go first in closing arguments, which is illegal. Not to mention, the judge instructed the jury that the verdict did not have to be unanimous, as is required in ALL criminal cases.

It has been reported that Trump could not even get qualified, top-notch lawyers to defend him for this case because the New York legal system and Bar Association have intimidated and basically threatened anyone of high legal stature from joining Trump’s legal team.

This is beyond a travesty of justice and a perversion of the justice system for political purposes.

This is a complete dismantling of the US Justice system. A system that for 250+ years was based on an expansive and strict legal code of ethics, the US Constitution & the Bill of Rights. The US justice system has now been raped and pillaged. It has been replaced by a system where legal ethics no longer matter, the Bill of Rights trampled, and a Soviet-style show trial system put in its place by a bunch of short-sighted, power-hungry goons that have no idea that what they’ve un-leashed will eventually come for them. A system such as this eventually eats its own.

Stalin (the F Joe Biden cabal’s patron saint) unleashed Lavrentiy Beria on his enemies, real and imagined. When all of his enemies were jailed or put to death, Stalin had Beria tried and executed for crimes against the state. Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Jack Smith, and the rest may want to read a history book instead of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. They can’t see it now, but they will reap what they sow.
They should also all read Isaiah 5:20 as that is their future IMO.

Yesterday was a sad, sad day for our country. The Mar-A-Lago raid made the USA a Banana Republic. This case and verdict make the USA a rogue criminal state where the party in power stays in power by any means necessary and tramples the god-given rights of every citizen as they do so.

Under F Joe Biden, the USA is now exactly where Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said the Soviet Union was back in the 1970’s…

“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they, of course, know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying.

In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.

The post A Travesty for What Used To Be a Constitutonal Republic appeared first on Granite Grok.

A recent report produced by the World Bank leaves no doubt that what has unfolded against farmers in Holland, Belgium, and France is a precursor to globalist plans of food control and all food production (and diet choices) for humanity in the name of rescuing the planet from cows and destructive agriculture. Woven into the new plan are the usual false claims about farming, which should serve as a warning about the true intentions of this world-dominating proposal.

The ironic title of the report is “Recipe for a Livable Planet,” a prescription for complete food control, profits for corporate “stakeholders,” unfettered wealth redistribution, and the further degradation of traditional small-scale farming. The premise is that “the food system must be fixed because it is making the planet ill and is a big slice of the climate change pie.” This is a dubious claim, as cows and livestock are maligned as huge contributors to climate change threats when, in fact, they are the cornerstone of soil health and carbon sequestration.

Low-hanging Climate Fruit?

The report employs flawed logic to argue that food supplies must be the chief climate target for humanity:

“Until now, efforts to reduce GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions have focused elsewhere — on sectors like energy, transport, and manufacturing, where scaling up a few key technologies has made an important difference in reducing emissions. However, these low-hanging fruits have mostly been harvested, and emissions levels are still far from where they need to be to avert climate catastrophe.”

That “low-hanging fruit” of renewables is far from being “mostly harvested” – grid capacity is inadequate, and the failing EV and solar panel markets reflect not only economic shortcomings but also the failure of these technologies to deliver as promised. The new report gushes about the hidden externalized costs of agriculture while ignoring the tremendous externalized pollution costs of the so-called “renewables” industry, from mining, coal plants to smelt aluminum and produce solar panels, and disposal impacts.

What of the low-hanging fruit of recreational energy consumption? Why are global entities advocating for total food control in the name of saving the planet, while completely ignoring flatscreen TVs, lawnmowers, downhill skiing, golf courses, and recreational jet travel? Such uses are unjustifiable if the world is about to end yet remain unaddressed while food and cows are targeted. Some 800 million gallons of refined gasoline are burned in US lawnmowers each year, with no pollution control technologies in use. That esoteric consumption of fossil fuels goes unaddressed by the World Bank report while food-producing cows are demonized for their flatulence.

Globalist Food Control Blueprint

Naturally, climate change is once again cited as the dominating factor:

“This report, Recipe for a Livable Planet: Achieving Net Zero Emissions in the Agrifood System, is the first comprehensive global strategic framework for mitigating the agrifood system’s contributions to climate change. It identifies solutions that cost-effectively limit agrifood GHG emissions to net zero while maintaining global food security, building climate resilience, and ensuring a just transition for vulnerable groups.”

Pollution, like food production, begins at the local scale. Grand globalist designs push humanity toward state-managed control mechanisms and away from local, independent, small-scale production. Indeed, the report’s scheme to address the evils of industrial food systems is to conjure an even larger omnipotent global food production and processing system, through those very same corporate wrongdoers. The document notes:

“[T]he agrifood system transformation will likely create new types of employment, and it is important for governments to facilitate this transition from farm work to higher-quality nonfarm jobs through skills training (Rotz et al. 2019) and mobility assistance (Fuglie et al. 2020). Likewise, the informal jobs sector can buffer the agrifood sector from job losses and food insecurity and assist with short-term job placement.”

Industrial Consolidation, Not Liberation

This is a continuation of the migration of rural populations into cities, out of farm employment, and into mostly fantasy technology jobs. Yet more people raising local food using sustainable methods is the solution to agricultural pollution: Further consolidation of food production threatens food security, human health, and the ecosystem. Wendell Berry chronicled the devastating losses to the American economy and culture in the farm-to-city exodus in his seminal work The Unsettling of America. The proposals in “Recipe for a Livable Planet” are even more unsettling.

The report claims that restorative justice will be served, people will eat more healthily, and the planet will be spared the destructive impacts of raising food. How? Through the usual boondoggles of greater corporate/government power, reduced livestock herds, higher food prices for meats, subsidies for fake meats, and innovative technologies:

“Nascent, innovative mitigation technologies could greatly contribute to emissions reductions and improved productivity in the agrifood system (Alston et al. 2011). These technologies include using chemical methane inhibitors, feed additives from red seaweed, crop roots to sequester carbon, indoor farming methods, precision machinery, plant-based meats, lab-grown protein, and other protein sources.”

These technologies will hardly transform agriculture, and they highlight the biggest lie of all: that cows are planet-destroying climate culprits that must be corralled into carbon compliance. Cows grazed naturally sequester far more carbon than they emit, rebuild soils, improve water retention, feed the soil microbiome, and replace harmful synthetic fertilizers. The World Bank’s “recipe” is for a few companies to make feed additives for cows, grow food indoors (unsustainable and energy-dependent), build more machines, and make fake proteins without assessing the externalized costs of the ambitious techno-rescues. Humans will eat more plants grown with synthetic fertilizers and be happy.

The solution to the world’s food problems is to permit farmers to farm and jettison technocrats from the food supply. There is no need to eat less meat, just to produce it as nature intended. Properly managed pastures sequester more greenhouse gases than reforestation can ever achieve, so the push to convert farmland to forests is counter-productive. Local farmers stewarding intergenerationally managed, sustainable farms are the cure to industrial domination by multinational corporate conglomerates.

The World Bank’s prescription proposes to dose the patient with more of the same poisons that created this crisis. It is a recipe for disaster.

You may have noticed that the website was down again Friday morning and twice this week. It has been happening almost weekly, and we’re not going to tolerate it anymore!

A few years ago, we had this issue: spikes in traffic would crash the site—high-volume reader traffic. The solution was a more expensive hosting plan, and that worked for a while, but we get spammed a lot these days, too. Hundreds of thousands of attacks a day—it’s crazy. Most of them get blocked by backend security, but sometimes, we get crawler overload plus traffic spikes, and we crash.

And sometimes, three times this year (so far), the issue isn’t that but the hosting company server. That was the problem this morning: down for an hour. It’s gotten to be a problem (they are under new management).

Long story short, we are changing our hosting company and moving to a new server, updating the support tools. It’ll cost more, but we’re doing it anyway.

Getting There from Here

As part of a discussion about the problem and solutions, I was asked what I wanted to see. Apparently, there are a lot of options when you are looking at hosting services, but I’m not into all that, and frankly, I have only one concern. I want a website readers can get to and engage with—period. I want the site up and accessible. That’s what I want.

If there’s an issue, I want it resolved before I even know about it. We think we’ve found that.

We are also close to the new site updates. I know I say that a lot, and then there are delays. Three weeks ago, we were close, but then I had a chance to see the site with a different look. I liked the changes, so that is in process.

The new way the content is sorted and viewed has added some time to launch logistics that need to be overcome. Then, this week, we decided to change vendors and move to a new server. We had to find it and negotiate the details, and I signed the agreement yesterday morning.

Backups, keeping or deleting old images, files, audio, and video, reducing the site size, and getting everything to click through as fast as possible are all moving parts—lots of them.

The newsletter will likely be disrupted briefly (maybe not). We are still dumping Disqus and moving to the WordPress commenting system, which, in my experience, is better at alerting commenters to engagement with their comments  ( a few of you have asked). And they don’t censor you like Disqus has been known to do.

We are looking at a new email service, dropping Edge Ads, and changing advertising packages to make them fewer and less annoying. And yeah, that means even less revenue and the need to raise even more money. The total raised so far for 2024 (to fund fiscal 2025) might cover next year’s operating expenses but not much else (certainly no salary for me yet). We need to raise more, and as always, I appreciate your help.

We have work to do, but I think this is all worth the time and expense. We will update the old site on the old server soon (I hope, but it might be a few weeks), tweak the bugs, make certain it works, and then migrate to the new hosting company.

It looks different. It should run a hell of a lot faster. It solves some lingering backside issues that don’t have much to do with the reading experience. And then maybe we can get to the VIP version of the app later this year.

And, as always, lots of content you won’t get anywhere else, and if you can get to it, I’ll be happy.

The post You May Have Noticed. The Website Was Down Again … appeared first on Granite Grok.

Earlier this week (I’m writing this on 5/30) a federal judge nixed New Hampshire’s anti-discrimination law. Many States have passed laws prohibiting CRT … Critical Race Theory, which is a euphemism for anti-White racism … so it’s fair to say the judge who nixed New Hampshire’s anti-discrimination law was applying the Left’s woke-constitution.

A handy chart from NH-NeverTrump Journal summarizing what the law prevented:

New Hampshire’s Woke-Communists … aka NH-Democrats … are, needless to say, celebrating the death of the anti-discrimination law. Woke-Communism is all about dividing Americans into competing groups, tribes, identities, etc., and pitting them against each other as a means for the Woke-Communists to gain and maintain power. For example, here is Damond Ford, a State Rep supposedly representing part of Manchester, who spends a lot of time shilling for Hamas:

And, bitter-clingers, if you support striking down a law that prevents children from being taught that a race or races is inferior to another race or races … that prevents children from being taught some races are inherently racist … that prevents children from being taught that people should NOT be seen as individuals but as members of an identity-grouping … that prevents children from being taught to look past skin color and treat others as individuals … THAT CAN ONLY MEAN THAT YOU SUPPORT ALL THESE CONCEPTS THAT THE LAW BANNED. And these concepts are RACIST.

So spare me the silly comments like, “I understand why Ed is angry,” blah, blah, blah. There isn’t any anger in the foregoing … it’s totally analytical. I’m just not afraid … like so many in New Hampshire supposedly on “the Right” are … to call racism racism.

Governments think they know more about everything than anyone, progressive governments more than any other, and California, as the lead fool in this parade of fools, often sets the example for what not to do.

It is very rare, but they sometimes discover just how politically damaging their knee-jerk idiocracy can be—always after the fact, of course. Planned minimum wage hikes, for example, will so heavily burden an already deficit-ridden state budget that paying them would cut into their payoffs to constituent groups doing business as “Liberal Programs.”

Progressives in Sacramento rarely think twice before burdening businesses. But lo and behold, they are having second thoughts about California’s new $25-an-hour minimum wage for healthcare workers. Why? …

The state’s budget deficit has ballooned to $45 billion. Mr. Newsom projects that the new healthcare minimum wage would cost the state $4 billion more a year owing to higher Medicaid costs and compensation for workers at state-owned facilities. Legislative analyses warned about these costs, but Mr. Newsom signed the law anyway.

Thus the minimum wage for healthcare workers is set to rise to between $18 and $23 an hour this Saturday, depending on the type and size of healthcare provider. California’s current minimum wage for all workers is $16 an hour. Nearly all workers at healthcare facilities including janitors will have to be paid at least $25 an hour by 2028.

Say hello to something called “you eventually run out of other people’s money.” And they have. The state has to find a way to pay for the 45 billion in debt it already has – perhaps Putin can invade Los Angeles County, and the feds can whip up a funding bill, but that might require CIA bases on the border or something, so unlikely. That means more taxes on the already heavily taxed Cali residents. More taxes take back some of what they claimed they gave you when the state-mandated wage hikes.

Typically, these encroachments benefit union bosses, who, when pay is forced up, can then hike union dues—and that’s probably still happening—paycheck as a laundromat for more government spending. Add tax hikes, and everyone gets to join in on that scheme, assuming the higher operating costs won’t kill your job or businesses or just drive them out of state. That happens. The unemployed move to the debit side of the spreadsheet, and Gov. Nuisance has to find more money.

And isn’t that an interesting problem? You give people what you claim is a living wage, which you must then steal even more of to pay for all the liberal programs of which the wage hike might make you apart.

It’s not very smart, but the government still thinks it knows better.

Beware of what authority figures tell you about what happened before your birth. Why do modern proponents of evolutionary theory self-edit the full title of Charles Darwin’s revolutionary book “On the Origin of Species”?

It is because it would reveal that Charles Darwin advocated racism rather than science. Darwin’s book is “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.” It is an undeniable fact that throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the ”hate God” movement was led by highly educated scholars. Scientists, biologists, and professors propagating philosophies obsessed with Darwin’s On Origin of Species attack the foundation of biblical Christianity.

The perpetrators of this revolutionary mindset jumped on the “God is dead” bandwagon initiated by Friedrich Nietzsche. Thereafter, the concept of “favored races” seeded the explosion of racism in the 20th century. They do not represent the common man. Hiding behind all their obsession with partiality for Darwinism is at its core a social philosophy rooted in racism. These racist Darwinist philosophical evil theories grew into a worldwide holocaust of hundreds of millions of souls suffering and dying under the boot of the Marxist state: Collectivisms known as communism, socialism, nazism, and fascism.

Today, we look back into the 20th-century endurance of hundreds of millions killed in wars and democide (governments killing their own people). The future promises more wars, death, and misery. These are consequences of all Collectivisms when a nation forgets God. Today, public schools and most universities challenge the eternal truth of Genesis 1:26: “Let us make man in our image and our likeness.” Instead, our youth are taught to believe a fairy tale theory that man descended from the apes. Thus devaluing human life and ensuring future tyranny as a nation forgets God.

The symptoms of tyranny that America has suffered over and above the terrible price of war are derived from the devaluation of human life. We can see the devaluation expressed as forced sterilization, abortion, and moving toward euthanasia, called mercy killing. These are the democide of our generation: murder in the privacy of a doctor’s office. When a nation believes there is no God and promotes collectivism, despotism thrives. Do your own research. Educate yourself. The truth will set your mind free. Start here at the incubator of evil:

Government Schools: When Satan Is Welcomed In, Is It Time to Get Your Kids Out?

The post Is It Time to Get Your Kids Out? appeared first on Granite Grok.

The children’s picture book “Sylvia and Marsha Start a Revolution!” by Joy Michael Ellison, self-proclaimed “queer and non-binary trans writer”, makes heroes of “trans women of color” and promotes the bizarre belief that people can change sex. I found it on the Pride display in the children’s room in the Nashua Library last June.

This book is a hagiography about Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson, who Ellison identifies as transwomen. The author presents them as selfless heroes who were leaders in the Stonewall Riots and opened a home for trans youth. Fred Sargeant, who was at the Stonewall Riots, says they weren’t at the riots, and their house for trans youth was more like a drug den.

Sylvia and Marsha identified as gay male transvestites. They cross-dressed. They did not identify as transwomen, but that doesn’t fit the author’s narrative. Read Fred Sargeant’s first-person accounts of Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson.

In the notes at the end of the book, the author defines “Transgender girl” as “A person who the doctor thought was a girl, but who is really a boy” and “Transgender boy” as “A person who the doctor thought was a boy, but who is really a girl.”

A child reading this book is going to take those definitions at face value and believe that they can change sex and feel encouraged if they become gender-confused to follow the dangerous protocol of taking puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and having healthy body parts removed in the belief that they can become the opposite sex.

Many people have discovered the hard way that they can’t change sex, and they end up with damaged bodies like detransitioners Chloe Cole and Prisha Mosley. Would the Nashua Library stock picture books about them in the children’s room?

This is the last in a series of reviews I wrote of the books on the Pride Month display in the Nashua Library children’s room last year. Read my other book reviews below.

We are witnessing the 2024 election being stolen … the latest and most obvious: the Kafkaesque sham trial of Donald Trump in the kangaroo-courts of New York … and what is the reaction of the NHGOP? To call for Red States to conduct law fare back against the Democrats? To call for New Hampshire Retirement to divest from New York companies? To call for a tourist-boycott of New York? No, no and no.

Indeed, the NHGOP can’t even bring itself to call the sham, show-trial a sham, show-trial. Instead, the best these feckless, grifting, buffoons can manage is to shed a few crocodile tears about “eroding confidence in the justice system.” There is no rule of law in America. Since Biden stole the Presidency … itself an act of lawlessness … it has been obvious there is no rule of law. J6 protesters incarcerated for years … BLM and Antifa terrorists walk free. Pro-life protesters incarcerated for years. Illegal aliens streaming by the millions across the nonexistent Southern border.

Is there anything more pathetic and useless than the NHGOP?
