Manchester, N.H.
A flyer was recently posted on Facebook advertising the Nashua Pride Festival, which is featured as an official event on the City of Nashua website. The flyer lists the drag performer “Ania Bangkoks” as a performer in the “family family” drag show that is held downtown as part of the Pride Festival.
I pointed out in a comment that “Bangkoks” is a sexually explicit name and totally inappropriate for children. Drag performers have sexually explicit shows for adults so it is no shocker that they would have sexually explicit stage names.
What is surprising is that my complaint about the sexually explicit name fell on deaf ears. I was accused of complaining about nothing. There has been no acknowledgment that this flyer is inappropriate and deeply embarrassing for the City of Nashua.
I shouldn’t have been surprised by this inappropriate flyer because the “family-friendly” drag show has a history of sexually-themed performances. Below are pictures from the show at the 2018 Nashua Pride Festival.
These male performers depict women as sexual objects, and their performances mock and degrade women. And this performance was held in front of the many children that attend the festival.

Meanwhile, the City of Nashua is claiming that this isn’t an official city event even though Nashua Pride has its own page on the official city website, the headquarters for Nashua Pride is listed on that page as Nashua City Hall and the official Pride phone number is for the Mayor Jim Donchess’s Office.
All of this is so ridiculous and amateurish and inappropriate just like our Nashua city government has been since Mayor Donchess took office. It would be amusing if our tax dollars weren’t being used to groom children.

Here is Governor Groomer (a/k/a Sun-King Sununu) blaming inflation on “the Democrats” “bad management”:
No, Governor Groomer, it’s not “bad management” … it’s intentional. For example, here is Joe Biden saying OVER and OVER and OVER again that as President he would eliminate fossil fuels:
“No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill. Period.”
— Joe Biden, 2020pic.twitter.com/X5tcDOPtT8

Biden, throughout the campaign, also pledged to engage in massive deficit spending. He called it “Build Back Better.”
Nevertheless, despite these and myriad other examples that inflation would skyrocket under a President Biden, Governor Groomer failed to support President Trump, including snubbing Trump’s New Hampshire rallies. In other words, Governor Groomer tacitly supported Biden.
So, of course, Governor Groomer now has to pretend inflation is a result of “bad management,” and not the obvious consequence of “his guy’s” policies.

Once again, we see that the “Wokeness” crowd going after a model because they can’t be one (reformatted, emphasis mine):
‘Feels Like A Threat’: Sydney Sweeney’s Tiny Outfit At Award Show Riles Up ‘Body Positivity’ Activists
A Yahoo! Life writer questioned actress Sydney Sweeney’s fashion choice at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, not over concerns of modesty, but because the “micromini outfit” felt “like a threat to body positivity.”
“Why Sydney Sweeney’s micromini outfit feels like a threat to body positivity: ‘So coveted yet unachievable,’” Kerry Justich headlined her piece, which cited numerous upset social media users and “body acceptance advocates.”
<snip>
Gianluca Russo, co-founder of The Power of Plus, which brands itself as “size-inclusive,” complained to Yahoo! Life in March about the “micro mini skirt.”
“It’s still operating on the same model, which is to let trends be dictated by people who are thin and then let it trickle down until it reaches size inclusivity rather than letting a plus-size body like Paloma or Precious [Lee] and Ashley [Graham] and all of them help to lead the trends,” Russo said. “You would hope it would come back in a new inventive way and I think the way it came back was so reminiscent of the way it started, and that’s kind of on this exclusionary model.”
One of the foremost icons of the body positivity movement is singer Lizzo, who often celebrates her obesity.
What, you hate physically attractive/beautiful people because you aren’t? Wokeness much in demanding the lowest common denominators? It’s always that when one doesn’t measure up, they tear that other person down. Always.
Sorry, there comes a point, either by weight or by age, you put away the Speedo or the thong bikini. Either one, there are health risks associated with both (age being you’re getting closer to “that day” for one or more health reasons and weight does bring its own health risks.
“So coveted yet unachievable” – well, that’s a “can’t happen to ANYONE” moment, isn’t it. Look, I’ve lost 70 pounds. While I’m not yet down to my college weight, I can see it coming over the hill. I was no model or bodybuilder back then and I’m not going to be one now (or in the near future) either.
What drives me nuts is the confluence of two of the worst parts of SJW/Wokeness:
Sorry, I’m with Dr. Jordon Peterson (called him John in the video; apologies)- a rose is still a rose by any other name. I’m tired of having norms changed out from underneath me by others.

And let me add this: ‘Fat Sex Therapist’ compares fitness trainers to Nazis, children’s dieting to sexual assault
“I truly believe that a child cannot consent to being on a diet the same way a child cannot consent to having sex,” Sonalee Rashatwar, whose Instagram username is “The Fat Sex Therapist,” proclaimed Thursday from the main stage of St. Olaf College.
She continued, “I experience diet culture as a form of assault because it impacts the way that I experience my body.”
These comments and more were made in the context of her two-hour speech, sponsored by St. Olaf College’s Wellness Center, Women’s and Gender Studies Department, and Center for Equity and Inclusion, on the topic of “radical fat liberation.” The talk included assertions that fitness contributed to the recent Christchurch shooting, that people should “challenge” the rule of law, as well as the authority of and the police.
“Tonight we’re gonna start by talking about how to politicize our definition of body image,” Rashatwar began, “because oftentimes we actually get stuck thinking of it from a white supremacist lense.” She explained how “white supremacy happens every day in all these little little things.”

“We should be critical of the use of science and the production of knowledge to continue promoting this idea that certain bodies are fit, able, and desirable…is it my fatness that causes my high blood pressure, or is it my experience of weight stigma?” Rashatwar asked. She then connected the science suggesting that obesity is unhealthy to Nazism, saying that “fatphobic” science is “often actually eugenic science….eugenic science is Nazi science.”
However, she then pivoted to support scientific findings as she pondered “intentionally pursuing weight loss,” claiming that “what we’re discovering scientifically is that that’s not possible.”
As I said above, I’ve lost 70 pounds. LOTS of people lose Some gain some of it back (I have, but it’s been a downward slope over time) and some gain it all back and then some. I feel sorry for those with metabolic issues or are on medication that while may be saving their lives in one aspect, make it very hard to not put on the pounds.
What this Sonalee Rashatwar is all about, however, is that she has chained herself to the “identity” that she has to be fat. It’s clear she glorifies in it and will make all the apologies, deflections, and blame to make sure that her “identity” remains intact. Nazis, White Supremacists, diets are physical assaults; each is a reason why she can’t drop the weight – nor should she. It’s a political cover she’s hiding behind and not science that losing weight is impossible.
I’ll just say it: like many of these types of folks, she’s a capital “N” Narcissist. So is William (“Lia”) Thomas in terms of his misbegotten idea that he’s a woman and no one should be criticizing him. At least Rashatwar is acknowledging her fatness while Thomas is lying six ways to Sunday about his physical body (clue: Not A Woman – and I’m a biologist).

On average, one of those so-called planet-saving Electric Edsels we hear so much about costs almost 20,000.00 dollars more than its fossil-fuel-fired counterpart, but that’s going to go up.
The rare earth metals needed to make batteries for these vehicles have skyrocketed in price. Inflation, supply chain, and other issues are pushing additional costs higher. And now, the European Union (EU) appears poised to declare lithium dangerous to human beings.
[T]he European Commission is currently assessing a proposal by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to classify lithium carbonate, chloride and hydroxide as dangerous for human health.
That would result in a more restrictive regulatory framework for their use at a time when the EU is aiming to be self-sufficient in electric vehicle batteries by 2025.
The proposal doesn’t ban lithium imports, but if legislated will add to costs for processors from more stringent rules controlling processing, packaging and storage.
The EU is easily one of the worst offenders when falling for the fake-green agenda, doing near-irreparable harm to its grids and people. Billions, if not trillions, have been diverted from practical or productive purposes in pursuit of this unicorn at the expense of other things.
And the distraction has made them susceptible to dependence on nations like Russia (not that relying on “batteries” isn’t the same whore in a different dress).
Now lithium, the lord and savior of the planet (which is not even close to true), could get a scarlet letter. No, we don’t have any. Yes, we must buy it from dodgy nations with substantial inhuman rights records. Yes, we have to have it, but we’re not about to make anything we insist you use more accessible or less expensive.
And yes, Democrats in the US are trying to make gasoline cost more.
The average American driver uses about 650 gallons a year. When Trump was president, it would take 15 years of paying for gasoline even to cover the difference between the cost of gas and the buy-in price of an EV. Under Biden, assuming gas gets no more expensive (but it will), you still need to drive the thing for 6.25 years.
That does not account for the expected lifespan of an EV battery. By law, these must be warrantied in the US for eight years or 100,000 miles, but most EV consumers believe battery life is closer to 65,000 miles. Charging devices and habits will also affect battery life, just like your mobile phone or laptop. And that all matters.
Replacement batteries for EVs are already expensive – up to $20,000 or more and rising. That’s another 20K.
And these things are not green. Their carbon footprint is significant both front and back end. Making more of them will offshore emissions, not reduce them. And only a fraction of the power needed to use them will ever come from the sun or the wind.
But their relentless pursuit could force change—the flipping of the first and third world.
Modernity requires power on demand and to spare. Nations like China and India are ramping up energy from coal. They are looking for and contracting the extraction of oil and gas globally. Amaco in Saudi Arabia has surpassed Apple as the richest “business” on Earth.
And here in the west, they are doing everything they can to pursue the opposite. The result can only be global civilization change dominated by the East instead of the west.
And given who we’ve allowed to run things and where we are headed, maybe that’s not such a bad thing for civilization.

Or, Biden’s willing to let poor kids go hungry to force transgender affirmation on schools. Talk about strings attached! The US Department of Agriculture just mandated that if a school wishes to receive Federal money meant for school lunches for poor and low-income students, those schools MUST implement all of the Biden Administration’s “anti-discrimination” policies concerning LGBTQ, especially those experiencing gender dysphoria (transgenderism).
So, let those boys into the girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms, or your kindergartner will be forced into involuntary “food abstinence” against their will – and yours. This is a PERFECT example of when a Government agency decides to take on Powers that have not been given to it AND decides that it is going to go beyond its mission. In this case, enforcing Government’s secular sexuality religion. Who thought that you’d hear “pancakes or sausage for your naughty bits” from the lunch lady?
Here’s the link to the USDA’s pronouncement. Soft, smooth words but the Tyranny is leering from behind President Asterisk: “Do as I tell you or little Johnny and Janie go hungry”.

Nashua City Hall has decided to ignore the Spending Cap in regard to the proposed budget for next year.
Instead of acknowledging that the mayor’s proposed budget exceeds the Spending Cap by $6.58 million it has falsified the calculation to claim the budget is $113.3 million below the spending cap.
Nashua residents should be grateful to Mr. Fred Teeboom for authoring and participating in various lawsuits concerning the Spending Cap’s validity. Mr. Teeboom has sent information to the Mayor Donchess, CFO John Griffin, City Attorney Bolton, and all members of the Board of Aldermen to inform them that the mayor’s proposed budget is over the Spending Cap by $6.58 million.
The Spending Cap was restored last year through State Legislative action and the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Nashua are obligated to comply with the law, not deliberately corrupt its intent by falsifying the calculation.
The mayor is also hiding the anticipated tax rate associated with the proposed budget. It seems like the City of Nashua wants no transparency when it comes to taxes and spending.
Please take the time to review the information below that Mr. Teeboom sent the mayor and other city officials to demonstrate that the city’s budget proposed for the next year exceeds the limits of the Spending Cap by $6.58 million which adds over 3% to the tax rate.

Tastefully settled along the Connecticut River the Gommorah Heights Assisted Living will provide an entire range of LGBTQanon++ amenities uniquely tailored to meet the neediness of our queer neighbors.

Civilian faculty members have introduced political indoctrination into academic instruction to include socialist ideology that runs counter to the noble principles of the Constitution.
…
Instruction in Critical Race Theory (CRT) at the Academy. Such instruction severs the ties of every cadet to defense of the Constitution, thereby nullifying the oath cadets have sworn to uphold. Critical Race theory now replaces Duty, Honor, Country.
…
The Biden Administration seeks to divorce military service from defense of the Constitution by replacing allegiance to the Constitution with Critical Race Theory.
…
It is not the purpose of the military to help advance the anti-American, anti-Constitution agenda of leftist ideologues. But the military is being forced by WOKE leaders in the White House, Congress, Department of Defense, and Pentagon, to do just that: advance a leftist agenda that seeks to tear down the Constitution, not protect it.
…
The purveyors of Critical Race Theory intend to demolish the United States of America as the founders established our Republic.
It’s not all sad news.
It is for times like these that God made Patriots.
These graduates are making the case that the history and foundation of West Point are both necessary and worth defending but hanging by a thread.
You can read it all here.

In case you didn’t go back and check the poll results..
Well, I think that GraniteGrok and our readers are probably in that mix of “ultra-anti-government right” that Sununu mentioned when he signed up to run, again, for NH Governor. I dryly note that when such people say such things, they (Sununu) NEVER state the WHY they describe others such? Neither he nor the Left, ever consider WHY some folks might be in that group – like those in Government that keep screwing up in making mistakes as they won’t stay within their Constitutional boundaries and authorizing legislation? That they’ve morphed from doing X to doing Y, Z, Alpha, Beta – and hardly spending time on X anymore? For example, the CDC, which is supposed to be all about tracking diseases morphing into an agency that assumed it had the Power to issue a nationwide moratorium for home/rental evictions? Note: it doesn’t – SCOTUS slapped them down…twice.
Or those that believe in the founding idea of having limited Governments and complain when they expand? Anyways…The Poll. With the poll ending this past Wednesday (yes, I know, I’m late!), the results are available here but I figured I’d summarize the most vote-getters here. I dryly note that amongst our readers, who are the most conservative bunch in NH, Sununu did as well as I thought he would:
Chris Sununu – 1.99% (Current incumbent, NH Governor)
Yes, this is an unscientific, self-selected poll done for the heck of it and with which I amused myself. That result is not unsurprising. The question will be – will he or his staff take note of it?
For the rest, a few of the from most to least:
Again, you could have voted for one, a few, or for all. So what’s the meaning of all this, at least to me?
Next set of polls will be more individual race oriented. Again, unscientific and self-selecting but it will be fun to see where OUR readership is on the candidates.

As remarkable as it may seem, this week marks Joy Behar’s first time atop our list of the week’s top knuckleheads. Though she’s made multiple appearances on our weekly tribute as an honorable mention, there had always been someone else whose knuckleheadedness had exceeded that of ‘The View’ co-host.
This week, however, we simply could not ignore Behar’s idiocy as she appeared to be hellbent on taking the KOTW top spot. Therefore, congratulations Joy! You’ve done it… how proud you must be.
Winner: Joy Behar achieves the not-so-rare idiot trifecta.
To spend more than ten minutes watching The View is to put one’s sanity and sense of reason to the test. The imbecility that spills from the mouths of Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro occurs with such regularity we can almost hear a Moron-o-Meter clicking and tallying off in the distance. But in the seemingly never-ending battle to see who the biggest nincompoop on the show is, Ms. Behar tends to edge out her competitors. Such was the case this week when she unleashed her inanity with three notable statements on successive days.
1) Behar wasted no getting the party started this week when on Monday morning, she offered this take on President Biden, Republicans, and inflation:
“And by the way, inflation is a worldwide problem, he’s [Biden] getting blamed for that. The gasoline is a worldwide problem, yes its $5, $6 here, it’s like $11, $12 in Europe. So, you cannot blame the president for every single thing.”
Behar’s comment came on the heels of another claim moments earlier that it was Republicans, not Biden and the Democrats, who are responsible for the baby formula shortage. If ignorance is indeed bliss, Ms. Behar is undoubtedly the most blissful personality on television.
While gasoline prices certainly affect other countries with a similar impact, it has been President Biden’s allegiance to the climate cult and his subsequent anti-oil policies that have driven up oil prices around the world. So, it’s not just Americans who can thank Joe Biden for high gas prices, it’s the consumers across the globe.
But there is a multitude of factors that affect inflation in every country, not just gas prices. Biden’s insistence on blowing out government spending, depleting the workforce through vaccine mandates and outrageously lengthy unemployment benefits, and his implementation of crippling regulations on corporations have added fuel to the fire, with no end in sight.
2) On Tuesday, the following day, Behar dropped this idea regarding the clown show known as the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th US Capitol attack, which was aired on Thursday by the leftwing cable networks and the major broadcast networks, but not on Fox News:
“I think that Fox is implicated in the events of that day, isn’t it? I mean, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity and Brian Kilmeade [were] begging Mark Meadows to get the President, Trump, to stop the attack. So, now they’re saying the opposite? They’re implicated in the day, so of course they don’t want to report that.”
Or, Joy, it could be that Fox News actually cares about their ratings and isn’t interested in playing along with the media’s charade to try and save the Democrats’ chances in November’s elections. Also, do you even know what the word “implicated” means?
3) Three days, three brainless statements. On Wednesday, Behar had this to say regarding gun control:
“Here’s the thing: once black people get guns in this country, the gun laws will change. Trust me.”
Oh, we trust you, Joy, no doubt about it. We trust you to say bizarre, nonsensical things.
And keep in mind, that Behar made this statement to a black woman who had just explained that she herself is a gun owner.
The fact is, about a quarter of black folks in this country already own guns, with a slightly higher percentage for white folks and slightly lower for Hispanics. Does Behar think black people aren’t allowed to buy guns? Or does she think only people with certain melanin levels are interested in defending themselves?
Apparently, Behar was trying to imply that few black folks in America currently own guns – which isn’t true – and that those on the right who are white and own guns don’t want black folks to own them; and that is also untrue. Those of us who are responsible, law-abiding gun owners want more responsible, law-abiding gun owners. The more, the merrier, and we could care less about their skin color. But leftists like Joy Behar refuse to let their narratives on gun ownership and racial division be interrupted by reality. They will do and say whatever is necessary to promote their gun-seizing agenda and identity politics… reality be damned.
Honorable Mention #1: WaPo Reporter Felicia Sonmez throws a weeklong temper tantrum and gets fired as a result.
Of all the Washington Post’s militant feminist, far-left reporters, Felicia Sonmez is probably the most extreme; or should we say, was the most extreme. Remember, Sonmez was the reporter who got suspended by WaPo shortly after the tragic death of Kobe Bryant when she began bringing up old allegations of sexual assault by Bryant before his corpse was even cold. So, imagine how insubordinate Sonmez would have to be to get a pink slip. But that’s exactly what happened yesterday when the newspaper sent her packing.
So, what did Sonmez do to get herself fired? Last Friday, a fellow WaPo ‘journalist’ named David Weigel issued a tweet from his personal Twitter account with an unfunny and sexist joke. Weigel himself apologized and was suspended, but that wasn’t good enough for Sonmez, who apparently wanted Weigel fired along with anyone who dared show compassion toward him. She essentially wanted the leftwing Washington Post, her employer, to come groveling for forgiveness from Sonmez. Sonmez had multiple Twitter feuds with co-workers going on throughout the week, and when Sonmez continued to trash everyone, including the Washington Post itself, she was given the boot.
There’s something remarkably satisfying about watching a far-left outlet like WaPo battling with their own far-left employees. Whatever bad things happen to the Washington Post because of this episode, they deserve them. And the same can be said for Felicia Sonmez, who will almost certainly be taking her former company to court in a lawsuit. Too bad both parties can’t lose that case.
Honorable Mention #2: President Joe Biden appears on Jimmy Kimmel’s show and somehow manages to botch things.
Jimmy Kimmel, like every other late-night talk show host, is essentially a member of the Biden Administration’s communications team. They’re on the same side. To illustrate that point, Kimmel, throughout the president’s appearance this week, repeatedly used the collective “We” when discussing Democrats’ and Biden’s policy efforts. It’s an incestuous relationship. Yet despite the remarkably friendly confines of Kimmel’s studio and a downright chummy live audience, Biden still screwed the pooch.
How bad did things get? At one point, as Biden was evidently experiencing a brain freeze as he was ironically talking about poor communications, Kimmel had to step in to save the president from himself. “We have not been able to communicate in a way that is um, um…” said Biden, then drifted off, saying “Let me say it another way.” Biden continued to ramble, at which point Kimmel interjected with, “I’m going to have to take a break, and then we’ll talk a little bit more if you don’t mind.” To which Biden fittingly replied, “I don’t blame you.”
Yes, folks, there he is, our Commander-in-Chief. Heaven help us all.

“I never thought about doing a fourth term early on, but given where we are with the pandemic, given that we’re going to have some fiscal challenges ahead, we’re heading into a potential recession,” Sununu said. “We need good financial management. We’re doing great stuff on mental health. We’ve got to see those investments through.”
Ah yes, WMUR got a couple of pull quotes from Baby Huey as he signed up to run once again. Note the use of the word “investments”. Now, maybe it’s just me, as I’m not getting out much lately, but when’s the last time you heard a conservative Republican use that word in a glowing manner? I hear a lot of Democrats, however, use such verbiage. They know that they keep getting pasted for spending (the root source of our current Bidenflation – govt spending too much and passing out money like it was candy to a diabetic) and focus-group changed to investment like Government is some kind of business or sumtin’.
Problem is, a business DOES make investments which are supposed to yield profits. Then, part of that profit is supposed to go back to the owners of the company as dividends. Sununu has now grabbed onto the language of the Left in swapping terms as he KNOWS that we, the “owners” of Government, never get a financial dividend from government. We only seem to get the bill (via higher taxes) instead.
This, too:
“You’re always going to have folks on the ultra-anti-government right who are upset, just like progressives will always have these ultra-socialists on the left that are going to be upset,” Sununu said. “There’s a spectrum. There’s always going to be a spectrum. So, my message is always to the 1.4 million people that I represent.”
I “liked” this part as well – a dust off to those that haven’t liked his performance over his COVID handling in instituting our “30 day free trial of Socialism” that lasted two years as he and his Administration decided to take full control of our economy. Now, I’m easily betting that he meant RebuildNH and we at GraniteGrok into that crowd as he keeps growing the size of NH government (either directly or via the “free money” from the Federal Government that ALWAYS results on more people on the State payroll.
But I’m also betting that was also an “inclusive” swipe against the Republican Leadership and the rank and file in the State Legislature that he both lied to (on emergency powers) and in making it known that he’d veto several bills if passed if his sycophants didn’t kill it first (like the Parental Rights bill, where his underlings like Laconia’s Travis O’Hara and Mike Bordes decided that Government (e.g., school boards and staff) should remain in control over Parents when it comes to children).
Lastly, I’ve been wondering if he’d be running again (hope against hope??) but he waited until the very last moment, apparently. WMUR’s Adam Sexton had this line, though:
Sununu kept his tradition of filing his candidacy in a low-key manner on the last day of the filing period, showing up alone in the secretary of state’s office to hand over his filing fee.
Alone except for Adam Sexton, it seems. I’m thinking that Sexton was not eternally camped out in NH Secretary of State Scanlon’s office all day waiting for Sununu to show up. What’s the over/under that a “stray” call was placed to say “meet me at <insert time here> where the location was unneeded to be verbalized?

It’s been almost exactly five weeks since my last screed decrying the sad state of this country. This has been a combination of intent, as I truly do understand how tedious this material can be, combined with being busier with other things as Summer gets into high gear.
I much prefer to write about the gardens, mountains and the other beautiful and interesting places I’m lucky enough to experience.
But I’ve much pent up, and again it spills over. This is my release valve; writing these words helps me personally order the chaos we now live with every day.
Last night I caught some of the primetime propaganda bestowed upon us by “The U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.” Never in my life did I imagine that this country would elect such a collection of ignorant, narcissistic, uneducated, and tone-deaf people into positions of government authority. But we have, and it was all on display last night, across all networks. “In Living Color”, as the saying once went.

As far as I’m concerned, before entertaining any of the bullish!t narrative proffered, these questions need to be addressed by the august Committee:
Painting an unconvincing, disjointed and unsupported picture, these Congresscritters truly must think the average American is an imbecile. It’s quite obvious that the Democrat figurehead in the White House and his handlers think they are. Sleepy Creepy Joe misses no chance to drop outright lies to the people, as evidenced any time he opens his mouth and speaks. Sometimes we even understand what he’s saying.
According to Biden, the economy is great, COVID is still a threat, inflation isn’t that bad and it’s all Putin’s fault. In reality, he was handed a solid, well-performing economy in January 2021 and immediately proceeded to break it all down. Gasoline prices have more than doubled, inflation is approaching double-digits, and we’re as close to a nuclear war as we’ve ever been. The Crona Plague has disappeared from the national and world stage. Monkeypox is the latest viral play.
Everything this Progressive-Left regime touches turns to shit, and many believe it’s intentional.
The safety valve for “Our Democracy” has always been its elections. We’re all holding on for November when even the corrupt legacy media expect the Democrats to lose the House and Senate. One hopes this will set the stage for a return to some semblance of governance normalcy if the ranking Republican members of the Beltway Uniparty play ball. Historically they don’t. Maybe they’ll be scared straight should the Trump Effect continue to dominate.
Or, is something worse in store for us all? Right now, I attribute the economic and social insanity to the last governance gasp of incompetent, feckless, and narcissistic progressives, desperate to hold onto power. But what if the deck is already stacked for November? We’ve all seen that the entrenched professional class in the DC Swamp are staunch supporters of the corrupt Left. DOJ, FBI, CIA……..all in. What if the tyrannical acts we are experiencing right now are nothing more than the opening moves of a regime that knows nothing changes after November 8th?
I’m hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. It’s going to be a long summer, and now I’m heading back out to the garden for a while.
These are my thoughts. I encourage you to express yours.

The post Does Something Wicked This Way Come? appeared first on Granite Grok.
The Bidenistas have been shedding White House staffers the way my Labrador sheds fur. Twice a year. January to June, and July to September. It’s almost as if someone inside the West Wing is saying, save yourself, and recent polling tells us why.
The survey, conducted June 3-6, found that 22% of Americans ages 18-34 approve of Biden’s performance — the lowest rating of any age group. Just 24% of Hispanic voters and 49% of black voters said they approve of Biden’s work.
…
In the new poll, 64% of respondents said they disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy and 34% said inflation is the most pressing national issue. Annual inflation was above 8% in March and April, which critics blame on Biden’s policies.
The only demographics that still produce positive numbers for Brandon would be Democrats and graduates with a four-year degree. 79% and 51%, respectively. And that’s a Quinnipiac poll, so grains of salt may need to be taken. And those numbers are only going to get worse.
The experts have admitted that inflation and gas prices are beyond their control. They have no plan, but that’s not true. The plan was to break things, and it’s been very successful. Biden and the Democrats broke the elections system and everything they’ve touched since. All according to plan. But they can’t admit that, so they are blaming other people and things which, as I’ve noted in the past, is worse.
Democrats pride themselves on their ability and that of the government to run things. Into the ground. But that’s not what it says on the sales brochure. From donor events to stump speeches to House parties, they insist they are smarter and better and making decisions in every sector of human life than any other human being they would rule.
If there was ever any doubt that’s been removed. The scales have fallen from the eyes of everyone but Democrats, many of whom are only happy with Biden because he’s not Trump. And even then, there is not a lot of hope for this change.
Young people are overwhelmingly Democrat voters, but only 22% approve of Slow-Joes performance. Seventy-six percent of Hispanics, a once-reliable pull for the Donkey Party, are unhappy with Biden’s work, while 51% percent of black Americans dislike what he is doing more than like.
Even College graduates, at only 51% approval, are equally happy within the margin of error.
It translates into a huge problem come November. That’s a lot of election to steal. Democrats running for office will suffer for the folly of Biden and his (mis) handlers.
But will it be enough to send a message? How bad do things have to get before people grasp what Democrat priorities truly mean for Americans? Is that even possible? The Political Left has been running most of our major cities into the ground for decades, and the victims of that “leadership” keep putting them back into office.
We need them out and in electoral exile for at least a decade to fix the fine mess they’ve gotten us into – is that even possible in Today’s America? And if it were, could we expect “republicans” to do anything meaningful to fix it?

Dear Congressional Leaders from New Hampshire, Do you know how many Americans have been tried and convicted of INSURRECTION for the January 6, 2021 protest? I do, ZERO. Why is that?
That’s because there was no “insurrection.” That narrative was made up by political hacks and force-fed to us by a complicit, dishonest, and corrupt media. This “story” was also helped along by the department of injustice and their federal bureau of insurrectionists, who helped “stage” the scene.
Do you know how many people were murdered that day?
I do ONE. Why are your peers lying about that?
We want to thank Michael Petruzziello for this Op-Ed.
Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.
One unarmed female Veteran was executed by an incompetent capitol police officer that day. Nobody was killed by the crowd, that’s a flat-out lie, and everyone knows it.
In case you didn’t know, the victim was Ashli Babbitt. You and your peers don’t seem to care much about her murder. Why is that?
Do you know how many National Guardsmen defended the Capitol that day?
I do, ZERO. Why is that?
That’s because Nancy Pelosi refused them. She did, however, allow the capitol police, abetted by government agitators, to open the capitol doors and let the protestors in.
Do you know why only selective video footage from that day has been released?
I do because they’re hiding the truth. Transparency and light are a disinfectant for scum and must be avoided by them at all costs.
The corrupt committee “investigating January 6th” will not ask any of these questions during their sham presentation. Why is that?
Maybe because the answers would indict them. So instead of seeking the truth, they’ve chosen to “take the 5th”.
Maybe this committee should be looking for traitors instead of insurrectionists, I think they’d have more convictions that way.

As the COVID “vaccine” landscape collapses, the faithful are scrambling to salvage what they can from their political theater. They were never safe or effective. No approved version ever existed. Oh, and ‘Fully Vaccinated, let’s not use that term anymore. It’s so “antiquated.”
Wednesday’s call with educators was the last of the school year and also the last that state health officials plan to hold during the pandemic. Officials said the testing programs they have put in place will continue into the fall.
State epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan said it’s important to rethink how [COVID] vaccinations are discussed.
“I think we all collectively need to stop using the term ‘fully vaccinated,'” Chan said. “That’s an antiquated term. It doesn’t mean much anymore. Let’s maybe agree together to not use that term. We’re using the term ‘up to date on vaccination.'”
I’m fully vaccinated against mumps, measles, smallpox, a long list of things for which I’ll never need another shot. But when it comes to COVID, I guess you can never be too vaccinated. Forty years later, and the technology has gotten worse? You can’t even come up with a vaccine that gets the job done the first time?
I’m not impressed.
And up to date? Do you mean like my dog’s rabies shots? Instead of passports, maybe DHHS can just issue tags we can wear on our collars?
Related: A “Vaccine” so Safe Pfizer had to Hire 600 Full-Time Employees to Take Calls About Adverse Reactions
Hey, is the State Department of Health up to date? Do you have comprehensive (see also, accurate) reporting and science about the COVID19 vaccines? The FDA and Pfizer have released tens of thousands of pages about the Emergency Use Only Authorized mRNA vaccines in recent months. Where on the DHHS website can I see those or get expert insight into what they say or what you think they mean?
I looked, and that would be nowhere.
If they exist in that web space, I could not find them or the latest CDC update on the Comirnaty fraud either. You’d think, in the interest of public health…no?
Related: COVID Questions That Gov. Chris Sununu and Dr. Benjamin Chan Need to Answer …
Let’s maybe spend a bit less time worrying about how educators talk about the jab with kids who don’t even need it (Dr. Chan was talking to educators when he made these comments) and put a little more focus on transparency. Honesty. Or were their gag orders from the Feds attached to all that taxpayer money they laundered to you as pandemic aid?
Public Health might be better served if we knew that as well.
Oh, and for the record, I’m not up to date on my COVID shots. Depending on what number you’re on, I’m probably at least four shots shy.

New Hampshire state law provides for a position called “Inspector of the Election.” We need 963 people throughout the state who are willing to take on this role. The deadline is this coming Wednesday, June 15th, so if you think you might be interested, please read further and act now.
Election Inspectors are election officials with far greater powers than a poll watcher. They are functioning ballot clerks charged with distributing ballots to voters. They also can be present and verify the count of unused ballots at the start of the election day. The inspector likewise can be present and verify the count of cast ballots at the close of the election, among other duties.
The New Hampshire Democrat Party has appointed election inspectors for years. In 2022, the NH Republican Party plans to do so as well. By law, appointment to this position is done by the state GOP.
All that is required to qualify to become an election inspector is to be a registered voter in the polling place (town or ward) where you intend to serve. Training and legal support will be provided.
This position requires a time commitment, but it’s important that we have like-minded people at our polling places to fight for election integrity. The time to act is now, as election inspectors must be appointed by July 15.
Please contact Joseph Gagnon at jgagnon@gop.com or 603-421-4183 to learn more about becoming an election inspector in New Hampshire.

President* Joe Biden has announced that the amendments in the US Constitution are not absolute. Like any good civilian disarmament Democrat, he’d like the government to manage what sort of “weapons” we’ll be allowed to have or use. I want to suggest whatever he left in Afghanistan.
They got some nice stuff from Uncle Joe that would come in handy, second amendment-wise.
And for the record, Slo-Joe is not entirely wrong. There is a process for amending the constitution, and that includes un-amending it. Just ask the 18th. Pushed into existence by faction, it was “the law of the land” for thirteen years. But in 1933, it was repealed, mostly because states needed the tax money from selling liquor and maybe because the intervention encouraged some organized crime. Maybe. Oh, and people like to drink.
So, the 18th Amendment wasn’t absolute.
Neither then is any other amendment. There’s a process, and it’s not a phone, a pen, or a majority of black-robed lawyers, though we’ve seen all of that at work in our lifetimes.
But if amendments are not absolute, why not the 16th Amendment. Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
It’s not absolute. If Biden thinks he can take away your second amendment rights, then maybe you take away his 16th.
Who wouldn’t support not having to pay Federal taxes aside from otherwise tax-avoiding Democrats who need your money to fund their personal priorities?
While we’re at it, the 17th Amendment was a terrible idea, so thank God it’s not absolute. States should start recalling their US Senators. New Hampshire, for example, could dismiss both Democrats Hassan and Shaheen for failing to represent the Granite State and replace them with almost anything, and things would be better.
The problem is that any legislation directed toward that end in our state would likely get vetoed by Gov. Groomer. I know it says (R) after his name, but I’m beginning to think that’s a pirate sound, not his actual party affiliation.
He’s not beholden to the party platform nor the state or federal constitution. He’s even got his little doggy – AG Formella – secured under the porch. Give him a treat, and he’ll say whatever the Snoonoo wants about what is and is not legal.
It’s embarrassing.
Maybe if the legislature promised to appoint him to the US Senate, he’d go for it? I know he says he likes “running” the state, and the only thing US Senators run for is office (not if we repeal the ‘not absolute’ 17th). And a state-level appointment to the US Senate would get him out of NH not long after which they could recall him and replace him with someone less progressive.
Pipe dreams, I know, and just for fun. No legislature is going to push it even if “amendments are not absolute.” And no sitting US Senator will stand for any interference into their absolute control over the mountains of lobbyist cash that comes their way or the federal taxation they launder back to those the lobbyists represent.
But it might fix a few things if we could, not least of which is that some “amendments” exist to protect rights, not grant them. They are natural from birth and meant to be beyond the reach of douchebags like Joe Biden. The very people for whom they were enumerated in the first place.
