Yesterday CNN’s Jake Tapper did a segment on the Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team choosing to forfeit rather than put their girls on the court against a team w’ith a 6’3” boy.  CNN brought a female reporter Brynn Gingras to get the story.  Mid Vermont declined to be interviewed almost certainly to avoid the kind of hit piece journalism the network is now famous for and why they have plummeted in the ratings.

One Vermonter who did interview was Windsor County senator Becca White who represents the families at Mid Vermont.  Instead of standing up for the girls in her community as well as the religious freedoms protected by the United States Constitution White chose to support the wealthy enclave of Dorset, VT.  Dorset has a median income nearly six figures ($92,386) and the white collar to blue collar worker ratio is 172 to 4.

After her interview on CNN the savvy politician decided to share her moment on television via her Twitter account.  The feedback she got was overwhelmingly negative.  As of this morning with over two hundred responses I could only find two that supported her.  Senator White tweeted:

“Proud to be a Vermonter, where while the other parts of the nation fumble, we rise above and stand against discrimination of trans youth. #vtpoli #TransRightsAreHumanRights” @BeccaWhiteVT

 

Here is what the rest of Vermont, the United States and the world had to say:

“I’m a Dem & would love to know why you think 1 male is more important than 100s of girls who lose fair sports when they’re forced to compete against him. What’s the lesson? Girls, it doesn’t matter how many of you this is unfair to, what 1 male wants is more important.” – @SunshineSunnier

“Mediocre male athletes who can’t make the grade in their own sex class have no place in female single-sex sport. There’s no difference between men competing against women & male athletes taking performance-enhancing drugs to cheat against their peers. They’re all #CheatsAndLiars” – @TinCanSquat

 

“You really like throwing other women under the bus, don’t you? What a good Men’s Right’s Activist you are. You are grovelling to male power and privilege.” – @CatFinola

 

One account posted a quote from Kara Dansky of the WomensLiberationFront.org:

 

“Only men could oppress women for thousands of years, then turn around, put on a dress, and complain they are the most marginalized group in society.”

Another woman asked:

 

Why do you believe that masculine girls and feminine boys are a problem that needs to be fixed? – @Serena_Partrick

 

@Anne_on_gd, sporting her LGBTQ pride flag support icon was so bothered by senator White’s interview she tweeted twice asking:

 

“What message are you sending to girls? That the feelings of a single boy matter more than the hard won rights and dignity of 100 girls? That they must prioritize the needs of other’s ahead of their own? How’s that progressive?”
 

Then demonstrably exclaiming:

 

“Stop treating girls as state sanctioned sacrificial emotional support humans for males with (claimed) identity issues!”

Mark in California tweets:

 

“Every student is free to play in his or her sex class. Only a misogynist supports letting boys play in girls sports. Why do you hate women and girls?”

 

VTcommonsense tweets:

“No one is discriminating. We’re saying that confused kids don’t need to be sexually mutilated. How do you people sleep at night?”
 

Probably on $400 virgin, organic, goose-down pillows.

Finally, Ginny ads:

“Things like this are making it next to impossible to remain in support of Democrats. Males do not belong in female sports. It’s astonishing that’s even a controversial statement. Shame on you for shutting these young women up. Being pro-woman is not anti-trans.” – @tazerface43

After the 2020 election debacle over 1 million Democrats left the party and registered as Republicans.  It appears senator White’s CNN appearance likely added to that number as of last night.

Which raises the adage – how do you make a Republican in Vermont?  Keep electing progressives.

The VAERS Database was explicitly created to accumulate vaccine safety data, but two things happened after the COVID-19 juice went wide. Health Care Providers stopped filing reports, and the CDC Stopped looking.

These are now well-documented facts.

In August of 2022, the CDC admitted that remarks by Dr. John Su, [who heads the CDC’s VAERS Team (sounds like he had one job], claiming the agency had been doing COVID Vaccine data mining analysis since Feb of 2021, were false. They were not doing vaccine surveillance on the COVID-19 injections and did not begin until March 2022 (and I have my doubts about that).

We’ve had reports from nurses and physicians that doctors had stopped filing vaccine injury reports at about the same time (sorry, I can’t seem to find the link, and I shared that video), claiming they didn’t have time.

This was also when the athlete’s dropping dead videos began to break the internet.

 

 

The finger-painted picture is simple. Known side effects were ignored or hidden to get EUA approval. When the injection presented known side effects or worse, they were not reported because a dangerous vaccine would be harder to push into more people.

We can trace the false pandemic of the unvaccinated narrative to a coordinated coverup of similar scope and scale. The truth was the opposite—both connected and RICO-level acts of fraud and money laundering by the government and its agents.

We can add to this the testimony of a physician’s assistant who (in early 2021) was ordered not to file VAERS reports because “doing VAERS reports and even discussing VAERS …was an admission that the vaccines were unsafe, so it’s contributing to vaccine hesitancy.”

What would happen if you took the same position about drinking and driving? “Telling people or discussing how impaired driving ends lives is an admission that drinking and driving are unsafe, and contributing to alcohol consumption hesitancy.”

Awkward construction on my part and maybe not the best example, but I think it makes the point. Now imagine the liquor companies paying doctors and hospitals to shush it up or, worse, the government paying them for the drinks and then paying the doctors and hospitals to keep quiet.

You haven’t had at least two drinks. You shouldn’t be driving.

That rising number of vaccine harm cases was brushed under a huge rug to make the product appear safe.

 

 

1.53 Million Adverse Covid Vaccine events – data as of March 10, 2023

 

The physician’s Assitant, Deborah Conrad, was fired not just for doing her job but following the law, and it seems likely she was not the only one. And for what? Caring about public health.

 

• “After the vaccines came out, there was this uptick in unusual symptoms, some of which I had never seen in my 20-year career,” Conrad said. “In every case, it was in somebody who had received the COVID-19 vaccine.”
• “And every patient who came in with RSV was vaccinated for COVID,” Conrad said. “It wasn’t normal.”
• “They weren’t able to walk or eat, and they were completely and totally fatigued,” Conrad said.
• A lot of these myocarditis cases came in with fevers because of this massive inflammatory response that was taking place in the body, so they would be labeled as septic, treated as if we were treating pneumonia or fevers of unknown origin,” Conrad said. “We’d treat them with antibiotics and all sorts of other things, not realizing that they were having heart failure.”

Conrad got fed up and became a whistleblower – but since she was the wrong sort, she got fired. Now she travels to speak at Medical Freedom Conferences, sharing her story.

 

“When it came to learning about the vaccines, we learned the basic immunology associated with the vaccines and the adult and childhood schedule, but there’s no discussion on their side effects,” Conrad said. “We go into practice with the idea that vaccines are safe and effective. I never considered otherwise until COVID-19 happened.”

Among the insights the pandemic delivered has been that the unethical relationship between federal officials and the pharmaceutical-industrial complex has been going on much longer than many realize, Conrad said.

“This whole system is corrupt,” Conrad said. “The light in this whole experience for me is that now I’m aware of how deep the lies and corruption really are.”

 

We need more of these, but I will note that there are Medical Freedom conferences happening all over the country. Before the Wuhan Flu epidemic, would you have ever expected such a wonderful thing?

Yes, sad we need them, but medical tyranny seems entrenched, and it won’t go away anytime soon without a lot of information, education, and awareness. The people need to understand what was done to them and that those who did it were emboldened by it.

And now we get to watch this happening again in real-time (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Brazil’s Socialist President Orders Nationwide Gun Grab After Surge in Sales

Brazil’s recently inaugurated leftist President Lula Ignacio Da Silva has initiated a process of taking back guns from citizens after a surge in sales toward the end of Jair Bolsonaro’s presidency. The Wall Street Journal detailed in a report on Tuesday how Lula has already reversed looser gun restrictions from the Bolsonaro era and plans to force owners to register their firearms or face arrest.

“It’s time to put down your weapons, weapons that should never have been wielded,” Lula said after winning last year’s presidential election in contentious circumstances. “Guns kill and we choose life.” Lula has now given owners an ultimatum of March 31 to bring their guns to their nearest police station for inspection and registration in a national government database.

“We choose life“.  Don’t we hear that from the Democrats all the time?  That their “common sense” policies will save lives? Presenting themselves as our saviors-from-ourselves in a constant din? Always, however, using that as a carrot while they wield legislative sticks in attempting to disarm us in a tactic of “disarmament by a thousand bills cuts”.

History, thanks to Commenter Martina over at Steve’s post (“What it Means When Democrats Say They “Want to Reduce Gun Violence””), we know what happens  after civilians are disarmed by those “saviors” who told them they only have their best interests in mind:

n 1929 the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, approximately 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, and others, who were unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million “educated” people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

That places total victims who lost their lives because of gun control at approximately 56 million in the last century. Since we should learn from the mistakes of history, the next time someone talks in favor of gun control, find out which group of citizens they wish to have exterminated.

Back to Brazil and getting the government they voted for:

In April, Lula will order a presidential decree forcing owners to turn over any firearms in excess of the new three-per-person rule, or face arrest and prosecution, Brazil’s justice minister, Flávio Dino, told the Journal. “Any gun that is not declared will be considered an illegal weapon…they’ll be committing a crime,” said Dino, adding that a failure to comply could result in two to four years in prison plus an unlimited fine.

What’s the over/under that the “three-per-person” rule lasts all that long?  The new Socialist can give you a clue:

Shortly after taking office, Lula issued a separate decree suspending any further registration of guns for “hunting and sport.” The decree also prevents gun owners “from transporting loaded weapons, suspends new applications for gun clubs and reduces the number of firearms permitted per individual from six to three.”

Maybe not long at all.

Let’s get honest – there are few old style Liberal Democrats still left that actually support Constitutional Rights.  As we saw a couple of years ago, even high-level Democrats couldn’t tell us the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist. Can anyone, nowadays, given what we’ve seen from AOC and her squad and a whole host of other Progressives who use that title to miserably try to hide their true beliefs?

There is no difference.  None a bit.  Lulu is your future if they take Power.

Behold your road map, readers, if they really and truly take power. Given how hard the Dems are doing everything they can to take our “defend against tyrannical govt” tools.

As part of the oops, let’s move along campaign by The Public Health Industrial Complex, also doing business as the apology tour, Pfizer has done some research and concluded that the mRNA Vaccines can cause some heart problems.

Related: The CDC Lied About COVID Vaccine Safety Surveillance

This isn’t news. We’ve known that for years now. But them ‘admitting it’ is new.

 

“Although the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine is optimized to reduce its detection by the innate immune system through the addition of nucleoside modifications and minimizing double-strand RNA impurity, it is possible, especially in certain individuals with genetic predisposition and underlying conditions that the immune responses to mRNA may not be sufficiently turned down and drive the activation of an innate and adaptive immune response,” they wrote in the 48-page white paper.

Is this the part where we note that one of the preexisting conditions was being under twenty years old with no need whatsoever to get Jabbed – a category we could quickly expand to almost anyone under 50 with no other health risks for flu?

That’s a lot of folks.

Good thing you’ve got the EUA immunity deal that only hinges on ensuring you provide informed consent, which was never the case, so here’s a 48-page report telling us you cared enough to do some research two years too late, and hey, it’s not our fault.

Genetic predisposition!

But this was all known before the FDA illegally green-lighted the cash cow mRNA injection. It was postulated by thousands of experts early on in the deployment and often ever since.

Doctors across the US and the planet were saying hold up! People are getting hurt and dying to which your sugar daddy Big Fed responded by labeling all of that disinformation (with help from Big Tech and Progressive media) to hide it from the masses.

You even asked a judge to hide the truth for several decades.

It turns out the number of those predisposed is so large that under any other circumstance, it would have required a complete recall and ban on the product whose complications were willfully hidden, including miscarriage, stroke, infant death, and adult death syndromes.

At least 40,000 people so far have died from an adverse reaction. Nearly 195,000 needed hospitalization; of those, over 147,000 required urgent care. Another 64,000 have been permanently disabled. And we know these are undercounted.

The CDC’s reporting APP shows that at least 7.7% of injection recipients missed work and had to seek medical attention for a wide range of symptoms not listed in that app as side effects.

But hey, thanks for the heads up and the helpful hint that the issue is not the vaccine but the people who have some preexisting sensitivity we could sum up as “being alive.”

So, when can we expect the paper on how it’s not just the heart that suffers from the inflammation response caused by your “vaccine?”

 

The post Pfizer Admits that mRNA Lipid Nano Particles Could Trigger Heart Problems ‘In Some People’ appeared first on Granite Grok.

Yep, another helping of teachers/staff/School Districts acting as full-blown ideological missionaries for Gender Dysphoria mental illness and Critical Race Theory (you are only what your skin shows, not how you think). The first story up is a tale about the endgame of both tactics – chaos, and confusion. 

We adults of a certain age think teachers should be teaching to create structure – making sense of small pieces of life and then connecting the dots between them to build up a critical thinking knowledgebase.  But what happens when a teacher actively works to destroy those data bits and the connections to make young children believe that nothing is real, provable, or reliable?

And this teacher is boasting about her kids having no idea of what they are (like the rest, reformatted and emphasis mine):

• Elementary teacher celebrates confusing children who can’t tell her gender: ‘That’s the goal’

Valentine Hills Elementary is a Minnesota school in the Mounds View Public Schools district in the northern portion of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. It is there that Kourtney Ryan, presumably a woman, was said to work as a music teacher actively aiming to confuse students about her gender.

“The students asked the other teacher if I’m a boy or a girl, and the teacher was like, ‘Does it matter?’”

This teacher @VHelementary brags about her goal of confusing children. pic.twitter.com/xoidH13OQf

— Inside The Classroom | Trans-Cult Enemy (@EITC_Official) January 23, 2023

Assenting to the teacher’s logic, the child was said to go on, “No, I just, I just can’t figure it out. It’s just so hard. I can’t figure it out.”

Another who reportedly had removed his daughter from the elementary school over their lesson materials expressed, “These are discussions about life, sexuality, and human development that parents should have with their children.”   ”

When an elementary teacher injects herself into that relationship between a parent and a child by making the child confused about gender and sexuality, they are violating the trust and relationship between a parent and a child,” he went on. “When a school allows professional staff to behave this way, there are negative consequences in learning. The classroom is no longer an equal and safe place for everybody.”

Again, this teacher is preying on the knowledge that these kids are in their most formative years, and the ideas that she inserts (or withholds) from them will last forever. She doesn’t care or honor that it is supposed to be the bond between Parent and child is uppermost – another case where a teacher believes SHE is most important in a child’s life and look what she’s doing. Yep, cutting.

And we turn back to NH – no, not teachers but Democrat lawmakers who ALSO believe that the teacher/child bond outweighs that of Parent/child ones. It’s one thing to do it in a classroom, but when Legislators do it, they are actively advocating for total government control for children – Parents are just breeding pairs in their eyes. These Democrats HATE the idea that Parents should be in charge of their child’s education.

• NH Dem Calls Private and Home School ‘Silos of Indoctrination.’

State Senator Debra Altschiller (D): “My Democratic colleagues and I will not give up our fight for our public schools, and against sending our students to siloed and unregulated institutions of indoctrination. SB 141-FN may have not passed today, but we will continue to shine a light on this reckless lack of oversight over an out-of-control program.”

The seacoast Democrat’s description of private and home school education as “siloed and unregulated institutions of indoctrination” did not sit well with parents or with advocates for school choice.

Course not – unless something has the Government in charge of it, it is EVIL. Add to the above, former State Senator Jeanne Dietsch (currently on a jeremiad against the Free State Project, which IS an existential threat to Socialism and Big Government:

…made headlines for suggesting New Hampshire parents without college degrees weren’t intellectually competent to make education choices for their children. She also suggested one reason some parents choose home school is because they are child abusers.

…Rep. David Luneau (D-Hopkinton), Deputy Ranking Democrat on the House Education Committee, opposes the EFA program and repeated the suggestion that parents could not be trusted with these funds.

The overall message Parents cannot be trusted – full stop.  Isn’t that how the Aristocracy, before our Revolution, viewed its serfs? And they hammered down again:

• NH Dems Organize Protest Against Parents’ Bill of Rights

Granite State Democrats are organizing a Tuesday morning protest against GOP-backed legislation “establishing a parents’ bill of rights in education.” In particular, Democrats support allowing school administrators and staff to keep students’ on-campus activities regarding sex and gender secret from their parents.

…In their alert, Democrats decried the bill for “saying parents have ‘the right to know what extracurricular activities, clubs, or organizations their child is participating in.’” They claimed unless the information is kept secret, “trans students who attend clubs may no longer view these places as a safe place to learn freely and equitably.”

On full display – a home with loving Parents is a myth and children are always at risk with them.  Bring on the Government child barracks!

The argument echoes Democratic Party state chairman Ray Buckley’s claim that if parents are informed, “some kids will be beaten to death.”   (Asked to name such an incident ever happening in New Hampshire, Buckley declined to respond.). Supporting school authority over parental control may be a principled stance for New Hampshire Democrats, but based on recent polling, it is not politically savvy.

And Altschiller seems to believe that Laws must be passed to make Parents to love their children:

Sen. Sharon Carson (R-Londonderry), Altschiller said that rather than empowering parents, “Should we not enumerate [in the law] that it is a parent’s responsibility to love them and support them  for who they are?”

Asked to repeat the question, Altschiller said that just as parents are required by law to feed and clothe their kids, “Should we not require parents to support and love and bring up their children to have these close relationships?”

And it doesn’t stop there. Again, the Democrats have no problem in disrespecting Parents. Fenton sounds just like Ray Buckley.

• NHDems Rally Against Parents Bill of Rights

…“the right to direct the education and care of his or her minor child; the right to direct the upbringing and the moral or religious training of his or her minor child,” and “the right to access and review all school records relating to his or her minor child.”

“Legislation like SB 272 can, and will, cause serious, irreparable harm to LGBTQ+ youth and their families, harm that can end up being fatal for our young citizens,” said state Sen. Donovan Fenton (D-Keene).

…Democrats are pulling children away from their own parents and giving an inappropriate amount of unaccountable power to bureaucrats and administrators. Their willingness to put politics between parents and their own children is the reason New Hampshire needs a parents bill of rights.”

And this was brought about by Government’s action in Manchester NH when Government school teachers were commanded not to tell Parents if their child was transitioning – and when the Parent found out, into court. The District’s decision was upheld in court that Parents don’t have full control – and now it’s heading to the NH Supreme court.

But it turned out better in another case:

Court Gives Conservative ‘Mama Bears’ the Last Laugh, Brutally Punishes School Board Trying to Keep Porn Stash Hidden

A school district in Georgia was forced to pay $100,000 in legal fees to a group of mothers who were barred from conducting out loud readings at school board meetings of the porn-infested books the board had approved for kids to see on school library shelves. A federal court ordered the Forsyth, Georgia, County School District to pay the legal fees of the group calling themselves the Mama Bears, who sued the district when officials barred them from reading from the disgusting books during board meetings, according to Atlanta NBC affiliate WXIA.

The group claimed that the school board violated their First Amendment rights in order to hide the disgusting, inappropriate content of the books from the public. And a federal judge agreed, ruling that the board’s efforts to shut the mom’s group down was unconstitutional. The lawsuit against the district was brought by parents Alison Hair and Cindy Martin who attempted to read aloud at a board meeting passages of board-approved books that she feels are pornographic in nature. Hair and other members of Mama Bears group were barred from reading the passages, a policy the women claimed is illegal.

The court also told the district they were prohibited from barring the plaintiffs or any “current or future FCS speakers entitled to speak at an FCS school board meeting, from reading or quoting verbatim from the text of any book or written works available in an FCS library or classroom, while addressing the school board during the public-comment period at school board meetings.”

After all, a school board exists for the Parents and not the school board to lord over parents.  But this is what happens when severely and improperly educated students grow up to be bad elected officials.  And here’s another teacher doing so in an area that rarely makes it into a “Stack of Stuff”:

• Former teacher’s op-ed on guns rather illuminating

Don’t get me wrong, there are tons of amazing teachers out there. However, there are those who think they know more than they really do, particularly on subjects like guns and gun rights. We’ve seen this more than once, too. A kid brings home their classwork and there’s some blatantly wrong fact revolving around the Second Amendment. Most such teachers at least try to keep their ignorance out of the public eye, but a former teacher and superintendent recently wrote an op-ed on the subject that put his own ignorance on full display.

Ignorance can be seen as benign. The author forgot about the phrase “deliberate posed”:

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads as follows: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

When I taught government, my students would ask questions as to the purpose and meaning of amendments, particularly the Second Amendment. My response to this question was, “Our founders were painfully aware, because of their experiences with England, of a federal government’s potentially abusive power, and they were committed to the preservation of the power of the states. Our founders had, as a primary concern that specific protection.

And THAT from his Op-Ed is perfectly correct and well worded.  And then fell off the cliff:

The Second Amendment was meant to be a collective-rights state’s protection, not an individual right to bear arms.”

So much for Teach’s ability to diagram a sentence (the 2nd Amendment). As has been pointed out many times, both in the Constitution and passed laws, words matter, the order in which the words appear, and the absence of words can speak FAR louder than words that are present.  If it was supposed to be only at the State level, the Founders would have written that in – they didn’t. And he can’t do the opposite (like in the ATF case where Trump forced them to call a bump stock a machine gun when the Law stated that one trigger pull-multiple rounds fired constitutes a machinegun – bump stocks just pull that trigger once for one round fired).

And Teach decided to disregard Supreme Court decisions on this – obviously from an ideological bent.

Let’s switch to economics and the phrase “the US can only be defeated from the inside”. After all, moving the country from capitalism (where individuals make the choices) to communism (where bureaucrats make most decisions along with Party members) requires a communistic government.  FULL SPEED ahead according to this teacher:

‘F*** capitalism’: Communist teacher brags about ‘indoctrinating’ students with ‘Marxist literature,’ says ‘revolutions involve violence’

A self-described communist teacher from Maryland bragged on social media about “indoctrinating” her students with “Marxist literature” and called for a fight against capitalism. Rebecca F. Rothstein, a teacher at North Bethesda Middle School in the Montgomery County School District, posted multiple controversial videos to her TikTok account – which has since been deactivated.

Rothstein, who stated that she is “proud as f*** to be liberal,” insisted that educators should not prioritize teaching students math and science but instead provide lessons on anti-racism and “how to be kind.”

Ah, Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, and SEL (Social Emotional Learning). Academic rigor?  Nope – the “new” product of Government schools and a new definition of “lifelong success” (/sarc).

 “As a teacher, I wish we could do more with our students, like teach anti-racism and how to be kind people. Does anyone else feel like … we can skip the math, skip the science, like we’ll do that next year. Maybe this year we focus on teaching our youth how to be anti-racist,” she said in one TikTok video.

“Tired after a long day of indoctrinating students,” she stated. Rothstein told her more than 13,000 TikTok followers that she had to “un-brainwash” herself to “fall in love” with socialism and communism. “If everyone had the same amount of money, then money wouldn’t be worth anything,” she said. Rothstein insisted that “capitalism must go” and said that “revolutions involve violence.”

Above, it was Democrats shouting that Parents can kill their kids – here, a Government school drove a kid to suicide (this time in NY and not Florida like a previous story):

• Rothstein insisted that “capitalism must go” and said that “revolutions involve violence.”

A New York teacher is being sued for allegedly manipulating a fifth-grade girl into changing gender without her parents’ consent.   The nine-year-old child, who was taught by Debra Rosenquist at Terryville Road Elementary School in Long Island, identifies as a girl but was being called a boy’s name and given male pronouns in class.  The damning lawsuit claims that Rosenquist started calling the fifth-grader ‘Leo’ and using he/him pronouns in class in October 2021 – unbeknownst to the girl’s parents.

It was only months later in January 2022 – when the girl was caught drawing a picture of a suicidal girl with the words ‘I wanna kill myself‘ – that her parents were informed that she was being called male pronouns in school. Rosenquist also allegedly read from LGBT books that were not on the school district’s curriculum, and told her students to ‘try being gay’ even if they were not…’To further her agenda, Rosenquist read and provided her students graphic books about gender and sexuality which were not on the curriculum.‘

Yeah, a missionary.  This story also shows that teachers and staff are not properly certified to do therapy (aka, SEL). Trust that teachers are doing the right things?  Hardly.

And I am glad that THIS guy will not be running for the 2024 Republican nomination for President:

• 2024 GOP Fantasist Hogan Says Opposing Trans Propaganda in Schools Is ‘Authoritarian’

Is there no end to the supply of ostensible Republicans who do nothing but echo the Left’s talking points and fall into line as Leftists set the nation’s political and cultural agenda? Abe Lincoln once observed that “God must love the common man, He made so many of them,” and He must love controlled opposition RINOs even more because the nation is positively inundated with them.

…On NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, Hogan was asked about DeSantis’ Parental Rights in Education bill, which attempts to counter the gender madness that is now being forced upon children at the earliest ages by forbidding teachers to engage in instruction about sexual orientation and identity in “a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate” for children in kindergarten and older.

As DeSantis himself said, he pushed for this in order both to protect children and to safeguard the rights of parents to raise their children without having them indoctrinated by woke gender-queer groomers: “This is inappropriate,” DeSantis said sensibly, “for kindergarteners and first graders and second graders, parents do not want this going on in their schools.”

But Larry Hogan would have us believe that this practically made Ron DeSantis into Barack Obama. “I’m a small government, common sense conservative,” he claimed risibly on Sunday, “and to me, it sounds like big government and authoritarian, … Yes indeed. But protecting the rights of parents to raise their own children is now “big government”?

One Twitter user observed: “Republicans like Larry Hogan use ‘small government’ as an excuse for inaction. Perverts teaching kindergarteners about sex? Big Tech censorship? Corporations outsourcing jobs from middle-America? Can’t do anything … small government.” Mark Hemingway of RealClearInvestigations quipped: “Yes, not wanting your grade school kids taught gender ideology that everyone agreed was insane 15 minutes ago means you’re in favor of ‘big government.’ Go ahead and campaign on that, Larry.”

And he has dropped out of the race.  Good riddance.

How many times since the announcement that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Briggs might indict and arrest Donald Trump have you heard “The Country Explode”?

I heard it a few times on the way to work. I’ve read it here and there. That this is crazy because it will do Trump better than harm. But if that’s true, why do it?

It’s the dead horse I’ve been kicking for a while. Since at least Obama. The blatant injustice. Selling military vehicles to local cops you want to defund. The indefinite jailing of J6 protesters. The COVID-19 restrictions and leaps like Kathy Hochuls “camps” for the real resistance. Using vaccine mandates to identify patriots to flush out of the military. The lies and fake outrage over Michal Brown, Trayvon Martin, and George Floyd. The feminization of boys and men. The blatantly obvious election fraud dismissed as a conspiracy theory. Actually, defunding local police. Open borders, rampant drug, and human trafficking. Those so-called common sense gun laws that disarm law-abiding citizens and result in more violent crime.

Arresting Trump.

It’s all connected.

They are the beer-besotted bar bully poking you repeatedly in the chest with a fat calloused finger daring you to punch them so they can share their anger management issues with you.

What the uniparty needs it can’t get unless someone starts a shooting war. Martial law. The federalization of local police and National Guard. A reason to tell the Middle Class that the disorder (our so-called masters sparked) can only be tamped down with a centrally controlled heavy hand.

They want the country to explode.

We’ve been counseling against it. Commenters who write about how “they” all need to be hung or shot or in some form relieved of their lives get their remarks pulled. The right to self-defense is a right to defend, not attack, whether you think “they ” deserve it or not.

Are we under attack? It feels like we are, but not in any way that would stand up as self-defense in even the most forgiving court, even the constitutionally protected variety, and they know that too. And they don’t care.

They want a shooting war, not just an active shooter but a coordinated military act they can label as tyranny. I can’t say if they will or will not get that, but the course we’re on suggests they’ll keep trying to spark one.

Whether or not it works remains to be seen, but again, that’s what they want, and it is almost never a good idea to give progressives what they want.

The Diversity Equity and Inclusion Movement rose from Marxist U, spread to public schools and corporations, and continues to poison state and local governments. Yes, poison because it has nothing to do with the D, E, or I.

DEI is code for many things, including an approved form of racism that, by definition, is about ideological homogeneity, inequality, and exclusion. White people who agree politically and culturally or carry their water are still second-class citizens. Any person of color who disagrees with the new anti-white racism is an Uncle Tom or a race traitor.

And DEI Directors who think diversity means “all races” are the enemy.

 

Dr. Tabia Lee, who is black, told The New York Post that faculty at De Anza College in Cupertino, California, labeled her a “white supremacist” after she pushed to “create safe spaces for everyone.” Lee said that during her review for tenure, she was denied and will be out of a job on June 15.

 

Lee says she is not a republican or a democrat, neither liberal nor conservative. “The DEI director also said she received flak from her co-workers after she declined an invitation to join a campus socialist network.”

 

On one occasion, Lee said she questioned why school communications capitalized “Black” but not “white.” She pointed to recommendations from the National Association of Black Journalists, which advises that all racial groups should be capitalized.

“For that, I was accused of being a white supremacist,” she said. “These constant accusations of calling people racist or calling them a white supremacists or saying that they’re aligned with right wingers — that’s such ridiculousness. It’s very damaging.”

If there’s no such thing as reverse racism, what do we call it when an accomplished black woman is driven from her job because of how she feels about race?

As a 54-year member of the John Birch Society JBS, I do not intend to go down the unlimited “rabbit trails” that US Term Limits Lobbyist Ken Quinn presented in his attempt to persuade the readers with “what he calls truth” in his 3/16 article about how great a solution Article V Con-Con’s would be to to fix the Constitution.

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

Blaming the Constitution for FedGov abuse of power and proposing single amendments as the solution is the strategy for both he and his former boss, co-founder of the Convention of States, Mark Meckler follow. However, during his speech at the HCR 1 Hearing, a Resolution for Fiscal Restraint, and his article March, 16th on Granite Grok on HCR 4 for “Term Limits,” he spent more time smearing the John Birch Society than he did promote these Article V Conventions.

Over five decades my personal experience hearing all the false charges aimed at the JBS, none of them have been true. Our operating procedure slogan, “Education is our total product, and truth is our only weapon,” still stands untarnished. We say the Constitution isn’t broken. It just needs to be obeyed. Friends in this war for liberty tell us that our magazine The New American.com is considered by many to be the intelligence digest of patriotic organizations. But the term “right-wing” is confusing.

Most folks accept the establishment’s deceptive recognition of the political spectrum that starts with both the Marxist wings on each end. But “Hitler’s Nazism – total right” and Communism are not total opposites. A true analysis identifies the Marxist as 100% leftwing total government: Nazism, Fascism, Socialism, and Communism, with Anarchy and zero government on the total right. This makes Constitutionalists like the JBS who believe that “human rights come from God” the true moderates, while this accepted lie of the establishment makes the Hitler and Stalin opposites. A complete analysis of this can be attained in the 29-minute video, Overview of America, at JBS.org.

Congratulations to the NH legislature for voting down Convention of States HCR 1 & US Term Limits HCR 4. But over and above this victory, there is one big claim by Ken, the Lobbyist, that I want to set right. His claim is that he has answered JBS speaker Robert Brown’s Ten-Thousand dollar challenge by proving Brown wrong. As a matter of fact, Ken says Brown owes him the ten-thousand dollars. These are just words that should be backed up by face-to-face debate. This is what Brown wants. Until then, do your research. Do not believe either side on this critical issue.

Go to JBS.ORG and compare it with our opponent’s sources of information. Take into consideration that Marxist follow the slogan: “The end justifies the means as their moral premise. In this case, beware, the good end result of what you want these two amendments to achieve is a dangerous “procedure or means” that threatens our Constitution’s integrity whether you believe in either Term Limits or Fiscal Restraint. The moral premise that John Birchers believe in is “means are as important as ends.”

In your investigation, I recommend you tap into one of America’s greatest men, Booker T. Washington’s moral wisdom:

“A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right, and evil doesn’t become good, just because it’s accepted by a majority.” You are the jury of public opinion. The verdict is yours.

 

The post The End Justifies the Means vs Means Are as Important as Ends appeared first on Granite Grok.

Is it any wonder that enrollments are declining, and parents are looking for alternative schools for their children? Is it any wonder, that parents are removing their children from the public schools and looking for alternative schools focused on academics versus social engineering?

JBAB was the transgender policy put forward by The New Hampshire School Boards Association (NHBSB) many years ago. Since this policy is now being challenged in the courts, the NHSBA no longer recommends JBAB to New Hampshire Schools.
As you can see, some school districts continue to include JBAB in their list of school policies. You’d be wise to check your local district’s policies to see if JBAB is included.

Here is what SAU16′s JBAB policy says. Now ask yourself, is this a public school or a gender clinic? (Emphasis mine)

III. PROCEDURE
This procedure will be used to address needs raised by transgender students and/or
their parent(s)/guardian(s):
 A transgender student and/or their parent(s)/guardian(s) should contact the
student’s counselor or building administrator. In the case of a student who has not
yet enrolled in school, the appropriate building administrator should be contacted.
 A meeting should be scheduled to discuss the student’s particular circumstances
and needs. In addition to the student, parent(s)/guardian(s) and building
administrator, participants may include the school counselor, school nurse,

teachers and/or other school staff (including from the sending school), and
possibly outside providers who can assist in developing a plan for that student.
 A written plan will be developed by the school, in consultation with the student,
parent(s)/guardian(s) and others as appropriate, to address the student’s particular
needs. The school may request documentation from medical providers or other
service providers as necessary to assist staff in developing a plan appropriate for
the student.
 If the parties cannot reach an agreement about the elements to be included in the
plan, the building administrator and/or Superintendent shall be consulted as
appropriate.

What is the purpose?

I. PURPOSE
District policy requires that all programs, activities, and employment practices be free from discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity. This policy is
designed in keeping with these mandates to create a safe learning environment for all
students and to ensure that every student has equal access to all school programs and
activities.
This policy sets out guidelines for schools and district staff to address the needs of
transgender and gender nonconforming students and clarifies how state law should be
implemented in situations where questions may arise about how to protect the legal rights
or safety of such students. This policy does not anticipate every situation that might
occur with respect to transgender or gender nonconforming students, and the needs of
each transgender or gender nonconforming student must be assessed on a case-by-case
basis. In all cases, the goal is to ensure the safety, comfort, and healthy development of
the transgender or gender nonconforming student while maximizing the student’s social
integration and minimizing stigmatization of the student.

That’s interesting because religious students are also supposed to be “free from discrimination” too. Right now there is a legal case pending in SAU16 because one student says that he was disciplined for refusing to use gender pronouns. There were also parents who spoke before the school board a few years ago describing the anti-religious sentiment their children have had to endure from some of the teachers. It doesn’t sound very inclusive in SAU16 despite their claims of appreciating diversity. Maybe some students are more equal than others?

JBAB also requires school staff to lie to parents:

A. Privacy
The Board recognizes a student’s right to keep private one’s transgender status or
gender nonconforming presentation at school. Information about a student’s
transgender status, legal name, or gender assigned at birth also may constitute
confidential information. School personnel should not disclose information that may
reveal a student’s transgender status or gender nonconforming presentation to others,
including parents and other school personnel, unless legally required to do so or
unless the student has authorized such disclosure.

What about bathrooms? Where are the special policies to make sure that religious students are offered the same consideration?  Another case of some students being more equal than others?

E. Restroom Accessibility
Students shall have access to the restroom that corresponds to their gender identity
consistently asserted at school. Any student who has a need or desire for increased
privacy, regardless of the underlying reason, should be provided access to a single
stall restroom, but no student shall be required to use such a restroom.

That doesn’t sound respectful of religious students who do not feel comfortable sharing the restroom with those of the opposite biological sex.

Here biological males will play on the girls teams which will eliminate all those years of fighting for equal access to sports under Title IX.

G. Physical Education Classes and Intramural Sports
Transgender and gender nonconforming students shall be permitted to participate in
physical education classes and intramural sports in a manner consistent with their
gender identity.

One has to ask themselves:
Is this really an inclusive environment? And based on their own policy, it sounds like they are running a gender clinic instead of a school system.

Why is it, no policies were put in place for Muslim, Jewish or Christian students?

There is a Human Rights Commission in New Hampshire to address the civil rights that have been denied. Families need to start filing complaints with the Human Rights Commission based on religious discrimination when they see it.  Document the discriminatory policies, and how they’ve been implemented in your school district.

There is also legal assistance that can be provided to parents, if there is a clear case of discrimination.  The court case in Manchester involves a parent who was unable to get information on her child’s name change at school.

For the record, I rarely do any comment moderation. We got a guy, and Skip also likes to roam that wilderness and has the final say on moderation (if needed), and not everyone will love our choices.

To that point, the other morning, I woke up to accusations of censorship. Not the left-wing public school porn books any progressive could buy for home sort. This is the “you keep blocking or deleting my comments” variety. The allegation is that we’ve moderated eye-opening, world-changing thoughts and, as such, committed some sin against free speech and the American Republic.

The way you censor and ban people for telling the truth in your comment section disgusts me.
Too bad you hate America and white Christians.
One can only hope you face eternal judgement for keeping the identities of all that are anti-Christ hidden from view.

 

We will all face eternal judgment but thanks for that. As for the “we hate America and white Christians,” what about black Christians? Why just white ones, hmmm?

And I’m an American white Christian, and I don’t hate myself or anyone else (for that matter), but we hardly know each other, by which I mean I have no idea who this is or what they mean.

And let’s be honest. This is weird stuff with shadows of who cares. Jews created communism? To do what, end Judaism? Communism brooks no god or anything greater than the government and the men who run it. There were a few Jews involved in the Bolshevik revolution. Karl Marx’s father abandoned his Judaism.

I still don’t know why that even matters. Yes, there are a lot of Jews in office in the US who are far-left progressives, but there are plenty of so-called Christians and Catholics (white and black) who are just as much or perhaps better Marxists and antisemitic – and they don’t seem to care if the Jews created it or not.

Completely Unmoderated content means allowing threats of death or harm, sexually explicit remarks or innuendos, acts of violence, pornography, or anything the human mind can think to write.

I’m not comparing whatever you wrote to that – I’ve not seen it, and you won’t give me your Disqus handle so I can find it and read it – but you would let all of that fly?

So do that.

Instead of accusing us of censorship, if it is as compelling as you say, stop fooling around in the comments section of other people’s blogs, and start your own. Share all that stand-up-in-court court-quality evidence you’ve got with the world.

And for the record…it’s nice to hide behind “Completely Unmoderated content means allowing threats of death or harm, sexually explicit remarks or innuendos, acts of violence, pornography, or anything the human mind can think to write.” while using that mentality to restrict people from speaking against their Jewish masters.

And as soon as you are done dodging the request for your Disqus handle, we can explore it, but I’m not sure what there is to discuss. During COVID-19, the cabal of global masters looking to control us stepped out into the light and bragged about their plans. It’s not some secret society, and we’ve talked about it here without getting hung up on race, color, sex, age, creed, or any of that because none of it has any bearing.

Both liberty and tyranny exist with or without any other human characteristic, and ascribing them only distracts from the actual threat. Your obsession with Judaism’s role in advance of communism makes you look like an anti-Semitic nutjob, and if we did “censor” your comments, it was probably the right thing to do.

But the internet is a big place, so feel free to deposit your knowledge someplace else.

The post Email Troll Says Granite Grok Hates America, White Christians, and Free Speech appeared first on Granite Grok.

San Francisco is the first major American city to consider a plan to pay reparations to black descendants of slaves. Per the WOKE, I cannot use the term “slave” as that is considered dehumanizing.

The WOKE insists I use “Enslaved Person” instead. You can throw the WOKE dictionary and handbook into the ocean. I listened to a debate today on the subject. I got frustrated because the discussion was not on the value of reparations but on whether we could afford the incredible amount of money this plan would require. We are debating the wrong question. Don’t be concerned with how, but why reparations should be paid. You know how I feel about this idea by this point in my article. NO reparations, end of the story, drop the mic.

San Francisco could become the first major US city to fund reparations under a plan to award $5m to each eligible black resident.
A city-appointed panel also suggests guaranteed annual incomes of $97,000 for qualifying recipients and homes in San Francisco for $1 a family. The city’s Board of Supervisors has begun considering the recommendations.

Supporters say it would be just compensation to black Americans for the legacy of slavery and racism. Opponents say the price tag is too high.

San Francisco created a Reparations Committee that developed more than one hundred ideas to put into a final plan. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the reparations committee chairman Eric McDonnell said: “When you consider all of the ways in which the systems and practices have been managed to exclude and steal, if you will, the opportunities for financial mobility – families are hurting and have been for decades, if not longer. Financial repair is time sensitive. That is not one that can or should wait.”

Nearly two million people in California would qualify for reparations under the committee’s guidelines.

Slavery was abolished, under Republican guidance, over two hundred and fifty years ago. What connection does any black person living today have with slaves living over two hundred years ago? California has been found to have treated Asian immigrants far worse than the black slaves of our past. Does that make Asian Americans the next group to receive a tax-payer handout?

This committee has devised one hundred ways to pay reparations, but none that justify the reparations being considered. I will not argue that slaves were mistreated, as have every group that has suffered enslavement going back to medieval times. America lost over 600,000 men in the Civil War to end slavery. And I think that is apology enough.

I feel no need for a personal apology, nor do I believe a single tax dollar should go to these WOKE ideas that are clearly meant to buy back the Black vote that has been slipping away from the Democrats. Maybe these Democrats should develop policies to clean up crime in America and encourage businesses to grow and create opportunities for Blacks, Browns, Reds, and Whites. Stop isolating groups, and you may see a decrease in racist ideas as we all grow together. Stop looking for ways to use money and property to make yourself feel better that you righted a wrong. You did not do any such thing, and you will not use my money to satisfy your guilt.

Hanover, NH – On April 26, 2023, Concerned Alumni of Dartmouth College will host a roundtable discussion on college Covid-19 vaccine mandates.

Please Submit Group communications or Press Releases to editor@granitegrok.com.
Submission is not a guarantee of publication.

The discussion will take place at Dartmouth’s Hanover Inn from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm and will be followed by a dinner featuring keynote speaker Aaron Siri, Esq. The dinner benefits React19, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Covid-19 vaccine-injured community.

The roundtable discussion will feature a panel of thought-leaders in epidemiology, medicine, civil liberties, and clinical data acquisition and analysis, including Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Dr. Aseem Malhotra (joining us remotely), Dr. Joel Wallskog, Jenin Younes, Esq., Todd Zywicki, J.D., and Brook Jackson. The panelists will discuss scientific, ethical, and legal considerations of college Covid-19 vaccine mandates, with a focus on the impact of mandates on personal health, public health, and individual liberties. The roundtable event is free and open to Dartmouth students, faculty, and administration, and to the general public on a first-come, first-served basis. Advance registration is required. Those unable to attend in person can access a livestream and recording of the event.

Dartmouth College has been invited to participate by sending representatives to be part of the discussion. At the time of this release, they have not agreed to attend.

“As alumni, we felt it was incumbent upon us to help bring this conversation to the College,” said Michael Koss, Dartmouth ’00. “The entire community deserves a publicly available uncensored assessment of the ethical, legal, and medical support, or lack thereof, for college Covid-19 vaccine mandates. Informed consent is a basic human right, but it remains compromised on many college campuses today.”

“This discussion is long overdue,” said Christopher Dreisbach, Dartmouth ’00. “Without question, the risk/reward profile of these vaccines for college-aged individuals is a topic deserving of a robust, nuanced discussion. Not only is exposure to such challenging intellectual discourse an important part of the academic experience – it is crucial when pertaining directly to the health and safety of Dartmouth’s most valuable asset – its students.”

If you’d like to applaud the imposition of medical mandates or their proxy (scaring the crap out of people for no reason to get them to line up for a treatment), you’ve got a lot of blood on your hands. And it’s not just adults.

Reformatted.

Researchers are raising the alarm after a bombshell new study revealed that American teens and young children are dying at the highest levels seen in decades. The study’s findings were published this week in the world-renowned Journal of the American Medical Association. The researchers found that the mortality rate for minors aged 1 through 19 soared by almost 20% between 2020 and 2022.

That’s sobering, and so is this. American life expectancy has declined since the Public Health Industrial Complex had its way with us during that pandemic thingy.

From the research:

 

A close examination of mortality data for 1999-2020 and provisional data for 2021 spells out the problem.2,3 Between 2019 and 2020, the all-cause mortality rate for ages 1 to 19 years increased by 10.7%, and it increased by an additional 8.3% between 2020 and 2021 (Figure, A).2,3 These increases, the largest in decades, followed a period of great progress in reducing pediatric mortality rates. Although most of the upsurge in pediatric mortality was attributable to deaths among older children (ages 10-19), all-cause mortality in younger children (ages 1-9) also increased in 2021 (by 8.4%).3 Infants (<1 year) were the only age group that experienced no significant increase in mortality.

 

Infants were the only age group that Jabasaurus couldn’t get their hands on fast enough, but that only refers to babies born. The COVID injections have been linked to an exponential increase in miscarriages which seems to me to be a significant increase in mortality for mothers who expected to give birth to infants.

Postpartum depression, and they lost a baby. I hope someone is checking on these women often.

But back to the children. The experts went after them with particular cruelty—lockdowns, quarantines, Jabs, remote “not” learning isolation. Add a massive influx of illegal drugs (still ongoing). We know overdose and suicidal ideation are at record highs. That’s all on the lockdowns and distancers, and jabbers and markers. Kids had nothing to fear from COVID-19, demonstrated by how more kids have died in NH from the cure than the virus.

We also have record adult sudden death and all-cause mortality.

Famous people are getting diagnosed with cancers, dying from cancers (some sudden and undetected), and dying in their sleep – as are exponentially more non-celebrities, and it’s all just some coincidence. But it’s not.

In November 2021, as sudden-athlete deaths were on the rise, I asked, who has to die before you believe?

 

What will it take?

If I had to guess, a healthy child of yours dropping dead. I wish it didn’t have to come to that. Healthy kids have nothing to fear from COVID19 and should have a palpable fear of politicians, pharmaceutical companies (teachers unions, the medical-industrial complex), their narratives, and The Jab.

 

We’ve long since landed, and those 2021-2022 numbers, if we ever get them, won’t be better news. But is it enough? If you didn’t lose a kid or don’t know someone who did, it might not move the needle, but it should.

I support science. I support clinical human trials for innovation. I have participated in several clinical trials since being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2001. I know the importance and time involved in obtaining real informed consent. This legislation is not “anti-vaccine.”

I am not an “anti-vaxxer.” I just completed a 5-year clinical trial at MGH that tested a vaccine as a therapeutic to reverse/improve the management of Type 1 Diabetes. They began enrolling patients years before I joined, but due to my plan to expand my family, I chose to delay my participation until 2017. I was given an 18-page document explaining the risks, benefits, and expectations of a participant and what responsibility/liability the researchers had by conducting the trial.

All participants and the lead researcher signed these informed consent agreements. In my personal research into this, I read the data from trials conducted on mice, and the previous 100-year human use of this vaccine, before making my decision to move forward. I volunteered for an experiment, knowing my risks and reward potential. I have done it many times before because I believe in science. I know data must be collected to improve innovation and advancements in medical treatments.

HB575 would prohibit the State of NH from purchasing, promoting, or distributing vaccine or pharmaceutical products that have not completed human clinical trials. The Bivalent Boosters were heavily promoted, advertised, and purchased after only being tested on mice. That is all the testing done before being approved under EUA and being made available for distribution.

The bivalent boosters were expedited through FDA to meet a delivery date of Labor Day to target BA.4 and BA.5 omicron subvariants as well as the original strain of COVID. I believe citizens have unknowingly been enrolled in a clinical trial, to which they have not been able to give informed consent.

According to openvaers.com, the underreporting of adverse reactions is significant, but the submissions for COVID-19 injection in NH are over 4,450 as of data through 2/3/2023. This includes 91 deaths and 113 permanently disabled individuals. Although VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, it is useful for recognizing patterns of adverse events that may indicate a possible safety problem.

I would not suggest we limit a private pharmacy, hospital, or provider from choosing to distribute any products for a clinical trial and this legislation does not limit their ability to do that. According to my inquiries with DHHS, Pharmacies participating in the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership (FRPP) program place orders through a supply chain management system independent of the state. They also receive direct shipments from the manufacturers without passing through the state. This legislation would not affect seasonal flu vaccine distribution, as the original flu vaccine was tested through human clinical trials.

HB575 would stop the spending of taxpayer funds on advertising, dispensing, and purchasing of products or vaccines that have not been tested through human clinical trials. The pharmaceutical industry would remain responsible for promoting its own products.

The people of NH deserve the opportunity to give informed consent. Let’s prevent Granite Staters from becoming part of future experiments. Please contact your State Representative and encourage them to vote OTP (“Ought To Pass”) on HB575 on Wednesday! It was voted 11-9 out of committee, with one Republican joining Democrats to ITL (Inexpedient to Legislate – do not pass).

Three letters strike fear in the hearts of teachers’ unions and public schools in our state—three letters that arouse hatred and animosity in our teachers: EFA. Educational Freedom Accounts.

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

EFAs are designed to give parents options in the education of their child. But in the face of those options, teachers’ unions spew hatred, claiming that the parents using these accounts are stealing from the students in their public schools. The unions insist that the funds being used for EFAs are necessary to provide a better education for the students in their institutions but don’t seem interested in the welfare of the students left behind. Imagine: accusing kids seeking better educational alternatives for themselves of theft! Isn’t the purpose of education funding the very thing their parents are seeking?

For many decades unions have insisted that more funding is necessary to improve the outcomes in our schools. And while funding has increased for decades, test scores and other indicators of the well-being of the children in these institutions have steadily declined. Yet we are to believe, with the contrary evidence notwithstanding, that we should continue to throw more money at a system that is consistently failing our children, and we should prevent parents who would seek better options for their children from being able to carry those dollars to institutions that are consistently proven to provide better results.

So we seem left with a truth: the issue that these unions decried isn’t the welfare of students but the welfare of the teachers. But these cries of need from educators willing to sacrifice the best interests of the students they serve are increasingly falling on deaf ears. More and more parents seek to move their students to private institutions or charter schools that provide consistently higher test scores and better learning opportunities. But these heralds of public failure would deny more students the opportunity to have options for their success.

As parents of children, which of you would choose not to offer an option to a student who is consistently bullied in his assigned public school with no relief? What about the students that need special tutoring that the public schools are ill-equipped to offer? Should they have no education? The student that is consistently bored in class and is therefore acting out? Should that student be given no options that might be a better fit for them to succeed academically? We have been told for many years that diversity is a good thing. In this regard, however, it seems as though there is a one-size-fits-all solution. No quarter is offered to anyone who falls out of line and needs to be educated in a different way, that is until the EFAs came onto the scene.

I, along with many of you, herald our public school teachers. My mother was a public school teacher, and I know how difficult a task is set before them. Has anyone considered that giving these options to students who aren’t succeeding in public schools may ease the demands on teachers, thereby making their jobs less arduous, leading them to have more success? I am not in any way opposed to public education, but I do support parents having the freedom to give their child the best option available.

In the past, parents of these children have needed to double-dip into their own resources to offer these options to their children. If the parents had limited income, their children would be sentenced to unsuccessful outcomes. Now, as interest rates rise, making a good living for a family becomes more difficult. Paying for the education of other children through taxes and trying to provide alternatives for their own borders on unattainable. Isn’t it reasonable for these parents to have options for the success of their child?

With EFAs, many parents in our state have found an option for successful outcomes for their children.

While teachers’ unions beat their drums and declare war on the parents of these students, aren’t they betraying their own intentions? Shouting that it is not the children they exist to protect?

If it is true that we want diversity and inclusion, should we not let some students be free to choose something diverse for the sake of their own success? Isn’t the point of all of this funding that a better-educated populace provides a better society for all? I would hope that, in support of these students, the reader would choose to support EFAs, to support those children who need different options to be successful.

Sometimes the best path forward to success is change.

From the too funny not to report files. A CNN Crew was at City Hall in San Francisco working on a story about voter discontent over rising street crime. While doing their report, someone did a smash-and-grab on their rental car.

At least they took it well.

[CNN correspondent Kyung] Lah acknowledged the irony of the situation, saying that she and her co-worker were in “San Francisco doing a story about voter discontent bc of rampant street crime.”

 

Got robbed. Again. @jasonkCNN & I were at city hall in San Francisco to do an interview for @CNN. We had security to watch our rental car + crew car. Thieves did this in under 4 seconds. Security stopped the jerks from stealing other bags. But seriously- this is ridiculous pic.twitter.com/3zcCzckavW

Not sure how CNN reported the root of the problem, but not long ago, the voters recalled City DA Chesa Boudin. The Soros-backed crime boss had allowed an already out-of-control city off the leash. It got so bad that chain stores started closing locations and pulling out of the area. Wal-Mart recently announced it was leaving Portland, Oregon, ‘cuz crime.

Amazon is closing retail stores for the same reason.

The Democrat reason.

The biggest cure for crime in America, from street crime to violent crime to gun crime, is to stop electing Democrats. So, all that progressive chatter about change? Some of these places haven’t elected a Republican in close to a century. How about you try some? Change.  Not just a taste, because that won’t work. You need systemic change. All offices, everywhere for at least the next several elections.

I doubt CNN reported that.

Correction: The last paragraph of the original at publication read, ” Some of these places haven’t elected a Democrat in close to a century.” It should read, “haven’t elected a Republican…” and has been corrected

Update: another little birdie has said “Harry didn’t write that email – he doesn’t write that well. Somebody ghostwrote it for him” and has suspicions.”. Either way, the above title still stands as his signature is on it. And he was just a bad boy in another way, too!

Guess that Chair “Cuttin’ Corners” is trying to do more of that – and it shows that he’s having trouble dealing with his incoming flack! Thanks to all of you who have contacted Chair Harry Bean and letting him know of your dissatisfaction – it’s having an effect.  Why am I saying this?

Little birdies, my friends, little birdies, that’s why.  A screenshot of the email body sent from the Chair (attachments are coming) tells me that he can’t defend this budget or his process in attaining it. Everything is going to be very tightly controlled and NOTHING will be allowed except what has been tightly proscribed. Not even other Representatives, so it seems, are going to be allowed to talk out of turn or ask questions based on submitted requests beforehand.

Tight ship – or stranglehold?

And no, we the public, will have had no input into this process (illegal Budget Review meetings).  I just looked – neither the Commissioners’ budget (the foundation for the Delegation’s) nor any working copies/drafts have been post over the last couple of months. Thus, we have NO idea of what is happening to us going forward.  Bean has made the decision that he is the Master and we have to suck it up.

No, Harry Bean, you don’t “owe the public a productive and efficient meeting.”. You’ve already shown your mismanagement style in wasting 3 months of idleness and illegal meetings that cut the public out of the loop.  You deliberately have kept the public out of the process by staging those “improperly noticed” meetings and now a Potempkin style meeting where we cannot add to or object to anything.

You wear that Stetson hat with pride, Harry. You’ve shown us the antithesis of what you learned, budget process-wise, during your years on the Gilford Budget Committee that openness, transparency, and including public Q&A at every meeting.

But you don’t care – you finally got your FRM money, didn’t you

Here’s his Agenda for the 3/29 meeting:

Belknap County Delegation Meeting Agenda

March 29, 2023 at 6:30pm

• Call to Order
• Pledge of Allegiance
• Attendance Roll Call
• Approve Delegation minutes of March, 6, 2023
• Approve Budget Review Committee Minutes of March 13, 2023
• Presentation of Review Committee’s Recommendation – Rep. Bogert
• Discussion & Vote of 2023 Budget
  • Total Expenditures
  • Total Revenue
  • Total to be raised by taxes
• Consideration of Cost Items – Sheriff’s Unit CBA
• Public Input
• Other Business
• Adjournment

But Skip!  You said the Public would have no say in this – there’s a Public Input? Yep, I did.

But consider this: how can you have a say on the budget when Harry Bean hasn’t made a copy available to we the Public to study?  How can we have input into the process AND THE VOTE when the Public Input section is AFTER the vote?

Well, here’s the budget – courtesy of the birdies. It is an excel spreadsheet but it linked back other files so when it asks to update the links (twice), say no.  This may not be the most current but such is government work.

2023 Belknap County Budget Worksheet

So, let’s see what’s going to happen. While I only took a quick glance through, there’s a few line items that screamed out at me to take a second look.

Tomorrow or Thursday, the NH House of Representatives plans to vote on two bills that would essentially repeal the Fetal Life Protection Act (FLPA), NH’s very modest but important protection for preborn children after six months in the womb:

Please Submit Group communications or Press Releases to editor@granitegrok.com.
Submission is not a guarantee of publication.

• HB271 would repeal the FLPA outright
• HB224 would repeal the FLPA by getting rid of its penalties

Either of these would move us to the extreme position of allowing abortion until birth. Over 70% of NH residents agree with abortion restrictions, 43 states have protections at 6 months or earlier, and only 7 countries (including North Korea and China) allow for such abortion extremism.

How you can help:
1) Pray & Fast. NHRTL will post updates via our Facebook Page and email.

2) Contact your representative, whichever party they are in. Let them know that you want to protect ALL human rights in the state, including those of viable preborn children.

Don’t forget to follow our Current Legislation page for more updates on these bills and many more!

For Life,
Jason Hennessey
President, NH Right to Life
