Dutch Lawyer Eva Vlaardingerbroek has chosen a side, as she’d say. She is speaking out in defense of Western populations and their cultures in an effort to wake people up about the elite’s commitment to erasing them.

When asked, “So, how do conservatives deal with this Catch-22 of not wanting to be replaced in their native countries, but also not wanting to be attacked with this term?” She reples,

You can’t. That’s the thing, you can’t. So you have to pick a side. Of course, you’re going to be attacked if you say, “Hey, this continent, Europe, has been predominantly White for the entirety of its history, and now suddenly within one generation, a few bureaucrats have decided against the will of the people that we should suddenly be a minority. Why do we agree with that, or why do we allow that to happen?” If you say that, you are going to be attacked.

But the only other option then you have is saying nothing and have it happen, so the choice is yours, and I’ve made my choice. I think there are many ways in which you can defend yourself, of course, against this ridiculous attack, so I’m sure that they’re going say about me that I’m a terrible racist again. No, that’s not true. I don’t think that any race is superior to another. I just think that mine is also not inferior to that of others.

Is she brave or crazy?

It seems like we are enduring a constant kerfuffle over whether or not to extend the now-ended federally funded COVID-emergency “hotels for homeless” program with state tax dollars. Lots of them. Twenty million here, thirty million there….

The latest House budget proposal allocates a whopping $50 million. Clearly, Vermonters can’t afford this. But, as Ronald Reagan warned, there is nothing so close to immortal as a government program.

So, instead of pouring hundreds of millions of dollars year after year to put these 1500 individuals/families in a bunch of derelict motel-no-tells, how about we spend a fraction of that just one time to everyone’s benefit and be done with the problem? How? Buy these people a cruise ship!

I did the research!

We can get one listed on Yacht World for $33 million. That’s just the asking price. Surely, the state can use its influence to get an even better deal.  It can accommodate over 3500 people, and according to the description in the classified ad,

Most recently refurbished in 2016, this 880 foot luxury cruise ship welcomes up to 2,767 guests and 912 crew members. Passengers [Those experiencing homelessness] can enjoy a rock climbing wall, a basketball court and a casino, plus four bars and multiple lounges. Guests can also choose from six dining venues. Ocean View and Suite cabins, all of which come outfitted with flat-screen TVs and minibars. Thanks to a dazzling, top to bottom renovation, this popular 880’ cruise ship is more majestic than ever. Guests [Those experiencing homelessness] will enjoy a newly remodeled pool deck, 2 pools, 4 hot tubs, expanded Day Spa & Fitness Center, plus tastefully refurbished staterooms, featuring luxurious bedding and eye-popping flat-screen TVs and more.  

There IS more! Such as on-board medical/hospital facilities, a library, a conference center, laundry, and shopping venues.

What’s not to love? Park the thing in Burlington Bay or Shelburne Bay and leave them to it. I looked at the nautical charts and there’s plenty of space to accommodate the S.S. Bernie’s Mittens’ 28-foot draft. My idea; I get to name the boat!

Now, obviously the on-board Johnny Rockets and Café Latte-tudes aren’t going to continue operating following this change of mission for The Mittens, as she will affectionately be known, nor will the kiosks selling tacky clothing, commemorative key chains, and suntan lotion. But that infrastructure can be re-purposed and managed by the residents (or others, I suppose) for their own entrepreneurial enterprises. Open a convenience store… a salon… laundry service… a snack shack to serve the community. Put the inmates in charge of the operation and have them be responsible for the upkeep of their floating neighborhood.

If this idea works, great! We will have saved Vermont taxpayers tens of millions of dollars if not more, and we will have successfully provided not just shelter, but economic opportunities and the infrastructure for on-location support facilities for folks currently living in distress. If it doesn’t work and they end up just trashing the place, we can always take the thing out into the middle of the lake and turn it into an artificial reef for the benefit of marine life and SCUBA tourism — after disembarking the residents, of course. Maybe on the New York side.

The S.S. Bernie’s Mittens is currently berthed in Port Washington, New York. I bet we could have it here by Monday. Then maybe everyone could just shut the bleep up about this issue and can move along to solving the property tax crisis before the rest end up experiencing homelessness too.

The U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower court ruling that blocked an Idaho law to protect children from irreversible procedures progressives tout as gender-affirming care for minors.

The question is, why did it take a SCOTUS ruling to prevent the transgender cult from harming American children?

Republican Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed HB 71 into law in April 2023, to the dismay of far-left activists. Little defended the bill, saying that he recognizes the role “society plays … in protecting minors from surgeries or treatments that can irreversibly damage their healthy bodies.”

HB 71 made it a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for anyone caught providing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or so-called gender-affirming surgery to minors. Predictably, the transgender cult immediately filed a lawsuit to block the bill from taking effect. The far-left American Civil Liberties Union brought the case on behalf of two families with children suffering from gender dysphoria.

“There is no justification for banning all gender-affirming medical care for young Idahoans with gender dysphoria,” Leo Morales, executive director of the ACLU of Idaho, said in a statement. “The ban prohibits care that the youth, their parents, and their doctors all agree is medically necessary, and which is supported by every major medical association in the U.S.”

The organization went on to say that HB 71 was part of a “trouble trend” to end so-called gender-affirming care in the nation. Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge for the District of Idaho B. Lynn Winmill then granted a stay preventing HB 71 from being enforced.

“After carefully considering the voluminous evidence on this point, the court finds that the treatment for gender dysphoria — when provided in accordance with the guidelines published by (the World Professional Association for Transgender Health) and the Endocrine Society, and which may include medical interventions such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries — is safe, effective and medically necessary for some adolescents,” Winmill stated in the ruling.

Transition ruins lives. It ruined mine.

Transition ruined my health. Transition destroyed my endocrine system. Transition ruined my liver. Transition made me think I was infertile. Transition took away and incinerated my healthy breasts – and transition stole food from my baby.…

Seriously, what is wrong with the adults in the room? Haven’t they heard the passionate cries from the thousands of detransitioners who were subjected to these treatments and now have to live with the life-long medical complications that resulted directly from these “treatments”?

Leaked documents from WPATH showed that it is impossible to give parents and their children informed consent regarding the effects of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transgender surgeries. Despite their best propaganda to tell the world otherwise, these doctors admit that placing children on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones is not a temporary change. Young boys put on puberty blockers often suffer from severely underdeveloped sexual organs. Both males and females suffer drastic bone density loss and impaired brain growth that leads to issues with logical thinking.

The complications that arise from the surgeries are even more horrific.

Male patients who undergo vaginoplasty surgery to create a “vagina” where their perfectly healthy penis used to be, complain of painful urination, loss of sexual function, and in some cases, a pungent smell that never goes away. That smell, by the way, is likely from either necrosis (dying/dead tissue) or because their rectum is seeping feces into the surgical hole created.

Vaginoplasty always functions as intended? Hmm, let’s see about that.

For a female patient to have a phalloplasty surgery, the doctor typically removes skin, muscle, and veins from their thigh or forearm to create the new “penis.” While the skin grows back, everything underneath does not. Their fake penis is not sexually functional, meaning it does not grow when aroused; no orgasm comes from having it. All they are left with is the scars and pain from surgery.

When they say “gender affirming care” this is what they mean. The sterilization, m*tilation, and castration of minors.

The Supreme Court ruled today that Idaho can enforce a ban on these procedures and treatments.

These doctors are mutilating these patients in the guise that this will help their mental illness. All the bill does is prevent this from happening to children. It doesn’t stop adults from disfiguring themselves. No person in their right mind should be advocating for this to be done to children. Yet entire medical hospitals and court systems are advocating for this so-called care.

The Cass Report was a damning rebuke of the medical industry’s failure to protect children from harm. Due to its findings, the UK recently blocked minors from access to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries. It found that the mounting issues from their prolonged use and the reality that the medical industry still has no clue about the extent to which the harm from being on them is enough to pause their availability.

Americans have to decide which side of this fight they will be on. Every day, the number of kids tricked into this life is growing. The social contagion grows faster than parents can stop it, and no one is coming to protect them. Sadly, this case had to go all the way to the Supreme Court to stop the madness. It should never have made it out of the doctor’s office.

The post Quick Reminder: Please Vote for Comment of the Week Before 8pm This Evening appeared first on Granite Grok.

It tickles me to no end when I see students radicalized by woke teachers and professors, getty uppity about the Biden regime. Even in New Hampshire, where we’ve not seen the vitriol and violence from which years of progressive inculcation stems, they came out to shout some slogans and demand things.

Joe is, after all, Pretending to be the President. His staff and the folks running his government and pushing for war funding for places like Israel are all Democrats who came up the same way – radicalized in schools and Universities. It amuses me when their creations turn on them.

Calling for “intifada” and denouncing the American flag as “that dirty rag” and “this Nazi flag,” a small but vocal group gathered on Thompson Hall Lawn at the University of New Hampshire Thursday to join the wave of anti-Israel protests across college campuses.

If you spent a lot of money on the education of these students, you should request a refund—public school, college, all of it. They are demanding a cease-fire and a violent rebellion—the end of hostilities by Israel and the rise of hostility by Arabs in Gaza. But let’s not get mired down by the mangles intentions of pro-peace students. Don’t forget to ask for that refund. We’re here to discuss the timing. NH House Bull 1305 (HB1305) has passed the House and is in the Senate. It would secure Free Speech Rights in public spaces on college campuses by preventing the college or university “from discriminating against any religious, political, or ideological student organizations, even if the organization requires members to adhere to its beliefs, standards of conduct, or mission.”

188-J:3  Freedom of Association and Nondiscrimination Against Students and Student Organizations.  No public institution of higher education shall deny a religious, political, or ideological student organization any benefit or privilege available to any other student organization, or otherwise discriminate against such an organization, based on the expression of the organization, including any requirement that the leaders or members of such organization:

I.  Affirm and adhere to the organization’s sincerely held beliefs;

II.  Comply with the organization’s standards of conduct; or

III.  Further the organization’s mission or purpose, as defined by the student organization.

I’m already on the record defending peaceful pro-Palestinian protests. I’m pro-any-peaceful protest. So the local peaceful protests could not have come at a better time. The Senate is going to move this legislation forward, and under the circumstances, it would be awkward for anyone, regardless of party, to protest. And HB1305 is not a toothless gesture.

188-J:4  Remedies.  Any person or student organization aggrieved by a violation of this chapter may bring an action against the public institution of higher education and its employees acting in their official capacities, responsible for the violation and seek appropriate relief, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, monetary damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.  Damages awarded in an action brought under this chapter in 2025 shall not exceed $20,000, provided that the cap shall be annually adjusted thereafter based on the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, Northeast Region as published by the United States Department of Labor.  Any person or student organization aggrieved by a violation of this chapter may assert such violation as a defense or counter claim in any disciplinary action or in any civil or administrative proceedings brought against such student or student organization.  Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to limit any other remedies available to any person or student organization.

Students radicalized by woke teachers and professors, and their woke professors and administrators, may not realize precisely what this means. One of the many tactics used by the Left to silence opposing opinions or debates, even on campuses where speech is “protected” on paper, is to create a security situation—the threat of violence or unrest—administrators who demand exorbitant sums for security that make the “speech” impossible.

Denying the “speech” equal access under HB1305 can or will get them sued. It includes the school, professors who agitate to stop the speech, and even individuals actively preventing it.

HB1305 does not permit the narrow limitations recognized under law by the courts.

IV.  Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as preventing public institutions of higher education from prohibiting, limiting, or restricting behavior, conduct, or expression that:

(a)  Violates any law and could be subject to criminal action.

(b)  Is unprotected by the free speech provisions of the United States and New Hampshire constitutions, including but not limited to true threats and expression directed to provoke imminent lawless actions.

I don’t think peo-Palestinian protested calling for Intifada classifies as provoking violence or lawless action, but again, the likelihood of those radicalized students and professors exercising expression on (say) social media to organize opposition or a counter-protest to speech protected by HB1305 to which they object, could become evidence of a violation of the law if the counter-protest or action succeeded is stopping the expression.

That’s a hint.

So, here’s to peaceful protests, good timing, and HB1305.

The post Did Outraged Pro-Palestine Protesters at UNH Just Guarantee Speech Protections for Opinions They Hate? appeared first on Granite Grok.

This is not a new story, but it is certainly worth writing because these companies need to be called out for their complicity in harboring juvenile sexual predators. The Disney Corporation and Nickelodeon are both guilty of hiring known, convicted individuals or those charged with sexual offenses against children to work with children.

It is unconscionable for any company to condone pedophilia, but it is a new low in moral standards to put children at risk knowingly. What could possibly be the upside in the risk-reward equation to make such a decision? There is so much uncovered with this topic that it is exhausting. Today, we will highlight a few just to peel a couple of layers off this rancid onion. We are not looking at isolated instances but dozens over the last fifteen years. Enough to label this a pandemic of sickness.

The staggering figure was previously unknown but came to light after a recent HBO documentary, titled “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids’ TV,” included testimonials from child actors who allege they were subjected to abuse on the sets of Nickelodeon shows such as “All That,” “The Amanda Show,” “Drake & Josh” and “Victorious.” CNN reported over a decade ago that 35 employees of Disney had been charged and found guilty of sex offenses with children. This expose did not prevent Disney from hiring a former employee of Nickelodeon who had already been convicted as a sex offender. Does that make Disney progressive for believing in rehabilitation or complicit in the crime?

The Woke Left ate Florida Governor Ron DeSantis alive when he publicly exposed the Disney Company for knowingly employing pedophiles, but are now doing the same to Nickelodeon. These hypocrites won’t dare admit that someone with an “R” after their name was right.

Bill Maher, who, like Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, is starting to sound more Conservative with each issue, went on an eight-minute rant on his HBO show Friday night about the abuse of children by the Woke Liberals that have gone so far to the Left that they have fallen off the world of reality and common sense. It was an incredibly honest monologue you must see on X or YouTube if you do not have HBO.

Isn’t it time we grew up and stopped all the WOKE BS we are subjecting a generation to? As Maher said, these kids are not wannabe adults but submissive morons who will do anything to impress adults, even if those adults want to castrate or physically mutilate them in another fashion. From sexually offensive books in school libraries to drag queen reading hours in first-grade classes to creating sanctuaries for adolescents who want abortions or sex reassignment treatment, when are we going to realize it is adults enticing and entrapping children into a sick and twisted world? It is going to take politicians and a judicial system to grow some cajones to prosecute and convict some of these corporations and parent/sex offenders for what they are: pedophiles, the sickest of the sick.
