And yet another Monday rolls around, darn it!

Take heart – there will be both a Wednesday and Friday Edition.  Last week’s Friday Edition.

Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:

1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought
2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

I do have concerns about Tiktok being a spyware app, and the fact that it broadcasts different content messages depending on where you live, (e.g., China vs. the US), but I always err on the side of too much freedom:

That’s right, I said that.  If the Hollis Police Chief doesn’t care to serve and protect Hollis until the moment of his upcoming retirement, I say that his retirement should be defunded.  Chief Hoebeke appears(looks and acts) like his Merrimack counterpart, Chief Levesque.

I was just about to say how to bring yourself up to speed, but this article is about “problem police,” and I don’t want to jinx any leadfoot readers who might find themselves in that snooty 30mph town in the near future.  Therefore, I will leave you this link to my recent article on Chief Levesque and sanctuary cities.

Merrimack and Hollis are not cities, but they have a few things in common. They’re suburbs abutting Nashua, so let’s hope that the Merrimack River will keep Hudson safe from all the political cancer that Nashua has spread to Merrimack and Hollis. There are a few symptoms to note. Hollis lost ALL its House representation in the last election and Merrimack lost 25% of theirs. Merrimack is a much bigger town, so they haven’t bottomed out in the House just yet, but let’s move on to the police.

As much as I despise public radio, it happened to be the source that brought this to my attention. You can click here for the article that comes with a 5-minute audio interview with Chief Hoebeke and see or hear for yourself. Hollis is just as much a sanctuary town as Merrimack. Notice the number of times he says “undocumented persons” in such a short interview. This police chief disgusts me, and I certainly hope that his retirement is sooner rather than later.

Given all the enemy camp talking points, he said, I sought to verify if he was a card-carrying member of the enemy camp, and my research is inconclusive at this time.  It appears that he lives in Bedford and is undeclared, noting that the data powering the Nosey Neighbor App is from 4 years ago. I have no reason to think anything has changed unless he went R just to vote for Nikki Haley and failed to switch back.  As I said about Chief Levesque, I don’t want to be accused of doxing Chief Hoebeke, so fact-check as you wish, but I’m guessing he’s NOT a fan of Denise’s hairstyle OR voting record!

In the competitive landscape, it is significant for businesses across various industries to maintain an active presence on social media platforms. However, managing social media content efficiently requires significant time, effort, and meticulous planning. To address this challenge, users often rely on a variety of social media management tools that enable them to create drafts, schedule posts, and maintain a cohesive online presence.

The article will give you valuable insights and facts about the importance of maintaining SMM platforms. Also, we review the Agiliway experience in developing custom software solutions that simplify content management processes and employ innovative functionality to stay ahead of the market.

Social Media for Businesses Across Industries: Facts and Benefits

Conducting an active presence on social media platforms is no longer optional for businesses across various industries. It has become a critical component of any successful marketing and communication strategy. Here’s why:

1. Reaching a Wider Audience

Massive user base: Social media boasts billions of active users worldwide, offering businesses unparalleled reach and the potential to connect with a diverse audience that may not be accessible through traditional channels.

Targeted marketing: Platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn allow businesses to target specific demographics, interests, and behaviors, ensuring their message reaches the most relevant potential customers.

1. Building Brand Awareness and Recognition

Constant visibility: Regularly posting engaging content keeps your brand at the forefront of your target audience’s mind, fostering brand recall and recognition.

Building relationships: Social media provides a platform for businesses to interact directly with customers, answer questions, and address concerns, fostering trust and loyalty.

1. Enhancing Customer Engagement and Interaction

Two-way communication: Online community allows businesses to have real-time conversations with customers, gather valuable feedback, and build stronger relationships.

User-generated content: Encourage customers to share their experiences and feedback, creating authentic content to build trust and attract new customers.

1. Boosting Sales and Revenue

Direct sales channels: Many platforms like Instagram and Facebook offer features for businesses to showcase and sell products directly through their social media pages.

Driving traffic to websites: Social media content can be used to drive traffic to your website, where visitors can learn more about your products and services, ultimately leading to higher conversions.

Social media offers businesses across various industries a powerful and cost-effective way to reach new audiences, build brand awareness, engage with customers, and drive sales. By leveraging the unique capabilities of these platforms, businesses can achieve significant growth and success in today’s competitive market.

Difficulties

Social media marketing offers multiple advantages, but it also comes with drawbacks and complexities. Establishing a robust social media presence requires dedication and persistence, since company owners need to regularly interact and provide content.

The first difficulty is mastery of the different platforms, as well as the capacity to produce compelling content, evaluate information, and make informed judgments that are so necessary for successful social media marketing. Each platform often has its specific requirements, algorithms, and regulations, posing challenges in predicting and sustaining success.

Social media, indeed, facilitates communication with your target audience but also allows them to openly express concerns and issues. This might inadvertently lead to the establishment of a public platform that may be harmful to a company’s brand if not managed well.

Assessing the efficacy and return on investment of social media marketing may be difficult due to the need to monitor several indicators, analyze intricate data sets, and infer reasons for customer behavior.

Having significant experience in software development and creating social media campaigns, both Agiliway development and marketing teams were involved in creating a solution that empowered clients with effective control over their social media presence. This tool subsequently gained widespread popularity worldwide. So, let’s review it in detail.

Background and Implemented Solutions into System

Despite the abundance of available solutions, each with its own unique set of features, businesses continually seek ways to differentiate themselves in the market. This is where Agiliway steps in.

The Swiss client approached Agiliway to enhance their all-in-one social media management platform, seeking to simplify processes and introduce innovative functionality to stay ahead of the competition. As part of the development team, Agiliway’s engineers undertook several key tasks, including implementing a feature for posting content from live streaming events, optimizing the user interface, integrating with social media APIs, and enhancing photo/video editing capabilities.

1. Live Streaming Feature: This feature allows users to pause live streaming, select desired moments to share with followers, cut them, and instantly post—all within one tool powered by AWS.
2. UI Enhancement: A significant challenge was ensuring consistent functionality placement across both web and mobile platforms, requiring meticulous adjustments.
3. Social Media API Integration: To accommodate constantly changing APIs, a simplified support process was established. Additionally, UI updates necessitated the development of mobile applications for iOS and Android.
4. Enhanced Photo/Video Editor: The platform now boasts a built-in editor, eliminating the need for external editing tools and catering to most user requirements.

The collaboration resulted in an extensive feature set for streamlined social media management. From scheduling to editing visual content, users enjoy a seamless experience without the need to switch between multiple tools. The platform supports all social media functions, including content upload, scheduling, posting, and comprehensive sharing and engagement statistics. To ensure future support simplicity, multiple open-source modules were utilized and customized as needed.

Value Delivered to the Client

Effective social media management solutions are essential for any successful business, given the necessity of a strong online presence. To remain competitive, these solutions must offer unique features that capture the audience’s attention.

The platform has gained widespread popularity worldwide due to its extensive functionality and intuitive yet sophisticated design. It includes essential features such as post-scheduling and previewing, performance tracking, and live event streaming and posting.

Furthermore, the platform is highly flexible and scalable, requiring minimal support teams and reducing additional expenses for our clients in terms of maintenance.

A local New Hampshire Public School system has a problem—they all have issues—but this one is $800,000 over budget. The not-so-superintendent, William Rearick, says revenue projections were inaccurate, and now the School Board is drafting a list of things the district will have to do without.

It sounds exactly like how Democrats run state government: They overestimate revenues on purpose, spend them, and then cry about the need to ensure “essential services” (new government growth) as an excuse to raise taxes to cover any deficit. At the state level, the number is more likely to be in the millions or hundreds of millions.

The Auburn school district blew its budget by $800,000, and while I’m not familiar with how woke this district is, it should begin cuts with SAU and school admin overhead. The Board, however, is telling taxpayers something else.

Money for field trips, school bus transportation, classroom supplies and spring sports are on hold.

“Coach stipends, field upkeep, any additional equipment, refs, all those expenses, just to run the spring sports program, those will not be able to be funded,” said school board member Janice Baker.

Except for classroom supplies, little of this has anything to do with a school’s core purpose—those things we are meant to cherish. Kids who can’t read to grade level—whatever that means these days—should be the priority. Given how poorly most schools do, anything, sports, music, and whatever else should be on the cutting block until kids can read to grade level as required by law.

Recently, I was having a conversation in which I had occasion to bring up RSA 193-H:2, which says:

Schools shall ensure that all pupils are performing at the proficient level or above on the statewide assessment as established in RSA 193-C.

Note that it says shall ensure, not shall try, or shall hope.

Note that it says all pupils, not just some of them — the ones who don’t have special needs or suffer from test anxiety.

There is no need to look, peeps; Auburn is violating that law and is $800,000.00 over budget. Taxpayers might want to have a word about more than just cuts to things like stipends, field upkeep, and refs.

Have a word with the union and staff about compensation. Until all the kids can read and do math to grade level, no one gets better pay or benefits. Staff cuts seem like a good idea. Figure out what’s holding you back and fix it. If you don’t like that, take your ed degree or Masters someplace else (it’s not like it helped kids learn to read).

Auburn can probably find some stay-at-home moms and dads who will do better for a fraction of the cost.

Or, perhaps Auburn needs to outsource the business of teaching kids. The Board could solve the $800,000.00 shortfall by replacing the entire SAU with a private Education vendor. With all the money saved, you can start a local sports program that not-so-superintendents and school boards can’t cut when they get the revenue projections wrong.

You’ll get kids who can not only read but teach themselves and who want to learn.

You might also have enough money left in the pockets of “the community” to start private CRT, SEL, BLM, or Grooming clubs outside the schools (seriously, try to start one). No kids will attend, which tells taxpayers something about why schools can’t teach kids to read and what needs to change: the school board, administration, and curriculum. Maybe a handful of teachers, but most will embrace the focus on academics.

None of those things can or will happen unless taxpayers make it so. You will have to wade through the gauntlet of the education Industrial Complex and its intolerable zombie warriors, but you have this on your side. No matter what they throw at you, kids can’t read. How are they supposed to enjoy the grooming lit in the library if they can’t read?

It’s the Great American “rite of passage”—getting your first library card!  The importance of a child having a library card has been celebrated from Arthur the Aardvark rapping “Having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card” to Francie Nolan keeping her first library card as a memento of her youth in one of the final scenes in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.  A child getting a library card has always been considered a positive step on the road to literacy.  Unfortunately, as with so much about libraries these days, times have changed, so parents may want to think twice before letting their children get their own library cards.

What most parents aren’t aware of when they sign their children up for library cards in most states is that the records of what their kids borrow are confidential even to their own mothers and fathers.  I could only find two states that provide an exception to these confidentiality laws:  South Dakota and Alabama.  The American Library Association website actually provides a page that links to all the states’ laws regarding this issue.

This lack of parental access is ridiculous when you consider real-life situations in which this confidentiality poses problems.  For example, a parent comes into the library without a child to return a bagful of books.  One of the items happens to be overdue, but library staff can’t tell a parent which one is late, so the parent ends up paying a fine and doesn’t even know what the fine is for.  Maybe there’s still a book checked out on the child’s account.  The parent didn’t put it in the bag of returns because it got misplaced at home; maybe it’s under a bed or in a closet or somewhere else.  This parent can’t even be told the title to make it easier to hunt for the missing book.

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

Aside from practical problems with this law, there is a more fundamental issue that reveals its inconsistency.  The American Library Association asserts on its website that “the parent’s role is to monitor his or her child’s individual reading life.”  In a similar way, last September, Dr. Nancy Pack, the director of Alabama’s public library system, defended the libraries’ collection development policies in a letter to Governor Kay Ivey.  She wrote, “Alabama’s public libraries will always value parental involvement in overseeing the materials their children borrow.”  She later wrote that “the responsibility for determining the suitability of library materials for children lies primarily with parents or guardians.”  To fulfill this role more effectively, however, parents need to know what books their children have checked out!   Even if parents do supervise their children’s activity in the library as they definitely should these days, it is easy to lose track of what books are checked out especially for parents of multiple children.

Since parents are generally not present when a child checks out books from a school library, it is especially important that they have access to their kids’ school library records. As children get older and venture into the “young adult” area of the public library, many parents will be concerned about what is being checked out from that section. While teenagers may not want their parents to know what they are reading, their privacy rights should not extend to their use of materials that they have not financially contributed to. Parents should be able to access their child’s library records for no other reason than this: as adults, they are the taxpayers who fund their school and public libraries.

Although the passage of legislation to give parents access to their children’s library records would not only improve library service but also support parental involvement in their children’s reading pursuits, it is difficult to get any sort of parental rights legislation passed these days. There is another solution, however: the “family library card.”  Some parents end up using an informal version of this type of account because it’s just easier. Rather than having to keep track of all the different books that multiple children have out, they just check all the family’s books out on one parent’s card.   The only shortfall of this method would be if the other parent asked library staff what books their kids had checked out; because of confidentiality laws, mom couldn’t have access to dad’s library records, and vice versa.  In a small number of libraries, a formal “family card” links all members of the family so that all records can be accessed by every member of a family.

Why do libraries push so hard for children to get their own cards?  Why is it rarely revealed to parents that their kids’ library records are confidential even to them?  It’s just another means to subtly undermine parental authority.  The American Library Association certainly supports the current laws that predominate in this country while opposing any efforts to change them. Such changes would violate something this organization holds sacred: “The Library Bill of Rights,” especially Article V which states that a “person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged” due to age among other factors. The American Library Association “opposes all attempts to restrict access to library services, materials, and facilities based on the age of library users” according to its own interpretation of “The Library Bill of Rights.” The ALA also questionably believes “that children and youth have the same rights to privacy as adults.”

Unfortunately, this great American rite of passage—getting a library card—just has too many drawbacks now because the type of material that kids have access to has changed so much in recent years.  In order to protect our most vulnerable citizens, we may need to have them forego this tradition. Sadly, reading porn (and other inappropriate material) “isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card.” Sorry, Arthur!

As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, residential solar energy systems have become increasingly popular among homeowners.

Not only do they offer significant cost savings in the long run, but they also reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources and decrease carbon emissions. However, to fully maximize the benefits of solar energy, proper management and maintenance are crucial.

In this guide, we will explore the best practices for homeowners’ effective solar energy management of their residential solar energy systems, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Want to know more? Then let’s begin!

Understanding Solar Energy Systems

Before we discuss solar energy management practices, you must first understand how home solar systems work. These systems typically consist of solar panels installed on rooftops or in open areas where they can capture sunlight. The panels contain solar cells. They convert sunlight into electricity using the photovoltaic effect.

The sunlight is turned into electricity. It powers appliances. Or, it is stored in batteries for later. In these cases, the solar panels make more electricity than needed. The extra can be fed back into the grid through net metering. This lets homeowners earn credits or get paid by utility companies.

Regular Maintenance and Inspections

Like any other home appliance or system, solar energy systems require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Doing regular inspections and system maintenance checks can find issues early. They can also stop problems from getting worse.

Cleaning Solar Panels

Over time, dirt, dust, and debris can accumulate on the surface of solar panels, reducing their efficiency. Homeowners should clean their solar panels often. They should do this to remove any obstructions. The obstructions may stop sunlight absorption. This can be done using a soft brush, water, and mild detergent, or with specialized solar panel cleaning equipment.

Checking for Damage

Check the solar panels for any signs of damage like cracks, chips, or corrosion. Damaged panels can lower efficiency and might need fixing or swapping out. If you spot any problems, reach out to a solar pro. They’ll check things out and suggest what to do next. It’s crucial to deal with any damage ASAP to prevent more issues.

Maintaining the Surrounding Area

In addition to maintaining the solar panels themselves, it is also important to keep the surrounding area clean and clear. This includes trimming nearby trees or shrubs that may cast shade on the solar panel placement, as well as keeping gutters and drains free of leaves and debris. Blocking sunlight or slowing water drainage can greatly harm your solar panels’ efficiency.

Monitoring Performance

Keep track of your solar energy system’s performance by monitoring its output regularly. Many modern solar inverters have monitoring. It lets homeowners track energy and spot deviations. Monitoring can help detect potential problems early on and ensure that the system is operating efficiently.

Optimizing Energy Consumption

In addition to maintaining the solar system, homeowners can also optimize their energy use. This will maximize the benefits of solar power.

Energy-Efficient Appliances

Invest in energy-efficient appliances and devices to reduce overall electricity consumption. Energy-efficient appliances use less power. This lets homeowners use more of the electricity from their solar panels. Look for appliances with an “Energy Star” label. It means they meet government energy efficiency guidelines.

Time of Use Rates

Many electricity providers offer time-of-use rates, where the cost of electricity varies based on the time of day. Using appliances during off-peak times when rates are lower can save homeowners money. It also helps them make the most of their energy. This can be easily done by setting timers on appliances or using smart home technology to schedule usage during off-peak hours.

Insulation and Sealing

Improving insulation and sealing gaps in your home can also make a significant impact on your energy consumption. Proper insulation helps keep warm or cool air inside, reducing the need for heating or cooling systems to work harder. Sealing gaps in windows and doors can also prevent drafts, further reducing the need for energy usage.

Smart Home Technologies

Use smart home technologies. These include programmable thermostats, smart lighting systems, and energy management apps. They let you control and optimize energy use. These technologies allow homeowners to schedule appliances to run during peak sunlight hours. At these times, solar energy production is highest. This reduces their reliance on the grid.

Battery Storage Systems

Consider installing battery storage systems. They store extra solar energy. You can use it when sunlight is low or during a power outage. Battery storage allows homeowners to use more of their solar power. It also lets them become more energy-independent.

Investing in Quality Equipment

When it comes to solar energy systems, quality matters. Investing in top-rated solar panels and other components can significantly impact the performance and longevity of the system.

Researching Solar Panel Brands

Before buying solar panels, research different brands and models. Find the ones that offer the best performance and reliability. Look for certifications, like the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC). Also, read customer reviews to gauge product quality.

Working with Certified Installers

Hire top-rated solar panels in Salem with experience in residential solar projects. Professional installation ensures that the solar panels are positioned correctly for maximum sunlight exposure and that all components are installed according to industry standards.

Warranty and Support

Choose solar panels and other gear. They should have full warranties and good customer support. A strong warranty provides peace of mind and protection against unexpected issues that may arise with the system. Also, ask about the company’s customer support. Ask about their policies and procedures. You’ll need help if you have questions or concerns during or after installation.

Embracing Solar Energy Management

In conclusion, handling solar energy management well is key. It’s key for homeowners who want to use renewable energy and cut their carbon footprint. Homeowners can ensure their solar systems work well and last a long time by using the best practices in this guide.

So, whether you’re considering installing solar panels for your home or already have a solar energy system, remember the importance of proper management. It’s key to making the most of this renewable resource. With the right approach, solar energy can power homes efficiently and sustainably for years to come.

March Madness is back again, reminding us it’s time for this year’s VEGAS ODD ON THE ANTI-CHRIST! As the world gets crazier than a rainbow flag at a Hamas rally, we turn our sights to the coming of the lawless one prophecied in holy writ.

Despite the list missing some heavy favorites from years past, we are certain to have you looking over your shoulder and doom scrolling into the night as you try to put your finger on the answer to the question everyone is asking beneath their breath – are they/them the spawn of Satan?

Larry Fink (Co-founder/CEO of Black Rock) – (5-1) Sits atop the wealthiest and most powerful investment firm in the world at est. $10 trillion in assets.  On record stating “we need to force behaviors” has necessary control freak vibes associated with the master of disaster. Fink is short for Finkelstein or Rat Fink, both having strong A-C connotations.

Cons: No one believes the A-C will sport a comb-over or have a dad-bod causing this otherwise stout hopeful to remain on the fringes.

King Charles III (King of England) – (6-1) Pros: The 33rd Degree Freemason is finally out of his mom’s shadow and has the chutzpah to make his case as A-C.  Hellish sausage fingers are the stuff of demonic nightmares.  Deceased best friend Jimmy Saville and brother Prince Andrew are both notable pederasts.  Visibly unmoved at the assassination-type death of his first wife, Lady Diana, while alarmingly giddy about grossly inferior second-fling Camilla.

Cons: He shares the name with a popular breed of dog, and not one of the cool ones.  Sausage fingers indicate poor grip on world power.

Gavin Newsom (Governor of California) – (7-1) Pros: As if straight out of central casting the tall drink of unholy water is slicker than his stylist’s pomade.  Appears to possess the power of alchemy having turned the Golden State into the Porcelain Bowl State.  His handling of COVID saw the closing of churches whilst keeping strip-clubs open lending credence to an A-C ascension.  Is so good at lying it’s rumored he’s had twenty-seven nose jobs.

Cons: Got spanked in a debate with high-heel boot wearing Ron Desantis, who never used one Bible verse in the defeat—clearly a subordinate to Chinese CCP leader Xi Jinping.

Yuval Noah-Harari (WEF Consultant) – (8-1) Little known little man Harari is raising odds and cackles as possible A-C.  The bantam Harari has heavyweight potential thanks to openly blaspheming the Messiah while also being openly gay.  Author of the book “Sapiens,” Harari views God’s image bearers as “hackable animals”, a theory exercised by the Prince of Darkness since the beginning.  The sociopathic Harari believes in a future where the Mark of the Beast is a forgone conclusion and only the elite will outlast the “useless” people.

Cons: Lost to a girl in the first round of the Vegan world arm-wrestling championships.  Lacks both charm and charisma associated with A-C leaving many to believe Harrari is just a promising satanic yes-man.

Alex Soros (CEO of Open Society Foundation)  – (9-1)Pro: Child prodigy to long time A-C favorite, his father George Soros.  George considered himself a god so it’s no surprise his demigod-like son is getting noticed.  Sitting atop daddy’s fortune while being grandfathered into “the club” bodes well for any future A-C runs.  Current member of the WEF Young Global Leaders and CEO of the Open Society Foundation offer serious A-C street cred. A less than subtle call for Donald Trump’s assassination on Twitter was a big-time move.  Don’t hate the player; hate the game.

Cons:  Alex appears to be on the spectrum and not the rainbow one.  He’s also a UCal-Berkley grad which is a second-tier school where it’s rumored he graduated with a GPA just south of 2.5, well below serious A-C level genius, and hinting at a daddy’s money type incompetence disqualifying this otherwise favorable candidate.

Hunter Biden (Ukranian Energy Expert) – (10-1) Pros: The debauched son of the former Vice President has many of the qualities one looks for in the A-C: endless capacity for lust, immeasurable self-importance, death-defying ability to recover from self-abuse, international connectedness and bulletproof command over demonic legalists and sycophants who will defend him to eternal damnation.  Handsome, educated, appropriately named with well-hidden fangs all give “the Big Guy’s” baby boy a shot at the title.

Cons: The Little Guy is a bit of a whiner and is horrible with money, not to mention is utterly careless as he commits his serial crimes leaving a crumb trail even Hansel and Greta Thunberg could piece together.  The true A-C would be none of those.

Emanuel Macron (President of France) – (11-1) Pros: Central location as a ten-horned EU member positions Macron as a serious candidate.  Putting out the welcome mat for an Islamic horde invasion amongst historically Christian France has A-C potential written all over it.  Marriage to a trans-man embroiled in secrecy makes Macron a serious up-and-comer.

Cons:  Sissy boy demeanor and getting slapped by a fellow Frenchman without immediately casting him into hell leaves Macron on the bubble as a top performer.

Dylan Mulvaney (personality) –  (12-1) Pros: Mulvaney’s mere presence causes the skin to crawl.  He/she single-handedly destroyed iconic brands Bud Light and Target by simply endorsing them which rings true of the thief who comes to “steal, kill and destroy” (John 10:10).  Mocking God’s sex-binary scores major blasphemy points.

Cons: Owns more push up bras than can do push-ups.  Recent near mental breakdown reveals weakness not associated with the coming conqueror causing A-C stock to drop significantly.

Chris Rondeau (Founder of Planet Fitness) – (15-1) Pros: Planetary aspirations move Rondeau into the pack.  Deceptive gym model where exercise is sold but discouraged also a plus.  Persecuting Christian women by allowing perverted men to shower with little girls in PF women’s bathrooms has big-time A-C energy.

Cons:  Hails from Portsmouth, NH which is mentioned nowhere in the Bible.  Recently fired by company he founded, also not good.

Seth Dillon (CEO of Bablyon Bee) – (20-1) Pros: Being head of the leading Christian satire site Babylon Bee provides deep cover for the prince of deception.  Time spent in leadership over a group generating fake news (re: lies) offers a proving ground for global fakery associated with the demon-man.

Cons: Strong orthodox background, mockery of Satan himself, repeated sharing of the gospel with world leaders and potential A-C’s like Elon Musk, and attacks by the beast’s media system make this a long shot for the betting public.

Karine Jean-Pierre (WH Press Secretary ) – (25-1) Pros: Masterful ability to open mouth and pour out lies makes KJP one to look at.  Karine (6) Jean- (5) Pierre (6) needs minimal mathing to become the Number of the Beast.  Beezlebub-like hair and wardrobe have fans rooting for KJP as A-C.

Cons: The A-C is not a woman, however KJP is not sure what a woman is, leading bettors to keep wagers low.

Rachel (Richard/Dick) Levine (Asst. Sec. of Health) – (30-1) Pros: Ghoulish countenance and 4-D chess-level blasphemous existence have many wondering if “Admiral” Dick can go all the way.  Calls for nationwide “gender-affirming care” for children drip with God-hating A-C energy.  Willingness to gaslight reality at the cost of sacrificing his own genitalia shows serious Anti-Christ potential.

Con: Horrible sense of make-up and style cause the ex-Dick to fall flaccid among serious rivals who have the requisite panache associated with the coming conqueror.  Harvard pedigree used to be a plus but has been cheapened of late thanks to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy failures (see: Claudine Gay, Ketanji Brown-Jackson).

 

Pale Riders and Dark Horses:

Adam Kinzinger – Notable turncoat whose Machiavellian nature is as real as his ability to cry on command.

Lebron James – refers to himself in the third person as “King James,” which is more likely a coping mechanism for realizing he’ll never be better than Larry Legend.

Adam Sandler – Uncanny portrayal of Satan’s spawn as Little Nicky has some wondering.

Jeffrey Epstein – A posthumous return of the hated billionaire pedophile would catapult him to the top, especially given that he didn’t kill himself.

Mr. Beast – Don’t let the endless attempts at do-goodering fool you, his name is Mr. Beast.  Nuff said.

Harry Sisson – Popular social media influencer has the right psychopathic energy for the position, however his perpetual pre-pubescent soy-boy charm leaves him at the back of the pack for serious contention.

Tom Brady – the six-time Super Bowl champion has an insatiable appetite for domination.  Divide his jersey number (12) by two and add his six titles and you have the makings of an A-C champion.  Ex-wife Ghiselle was a witch adding to his mystique, however his pro-MAGA stance drops his chances.

Gordon Ramsay—He has the potty-mouth and disdainful character to come out of Hell’s Kitchen as Hell’s maitre de. However, his life of generous service to failing restaurateurs indicates very un-A-C tendencies.

Keith Richards – The death defying lead guitarist of one of rock ‘n’ rolls seminal super bands appears to be walking the earth like an immortal.  Insiders tell us Sympathy for the Devil was autobiographical.

Parents in Hudson, NH, were surprised to learn that a political activist from Black Lives Matter would be speaking to students next week. Like many parents, they are reluctant to challenge school administrators for fear that their children would become a target for retaliation.

After receiving numerous messages from parents, I decided to contact the Principal of Alvirne High School to question this decision, and request that parents and members of the public also be able to attend. Here is the email I sent to the Principal:

Dear Principal Beals;

My name is Ann Marie Banfield, and I am a parental rights advocate in New Hampshire. Today several parents contacted me about an upcoming presentation for the students who attend Alvirne High School.
————————————————————————————–
Good Afternoon,

Alvirne HS will be having our first Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) presenter on Wednesday, March 27th from 8:45-9:45am and 9:50-10:50am . There will be no Flex that day.

As done in the past, students will be attending by the hallway locations of their 2nd period class allowing for mixed grade levels to attend. Here is the schedule:

Assembly 1: 8:45 – -9:45 (Alvirne 1st and 3rd floor classrooms) Class Time: 9:50-10:50
Assembly 2: 9:50 – -10:50 (Alvirne 2nd floor and all CTE classrooms). Class Time: 8:50-9:45

Samrawit Silva will be presenting on Advocacy/Inclusion/Microaggressions/Privilege (from the lens that we all have it).
Kimberly
—————————————————————–
Since Ms. Silva is part of the leadership team at Black Lives Matter NH, parents would like to attend this meeting. I want to also request that any member of the public be admitted to this meeting with students. Since this is a public school where public funds are involved, we’d like to monitor the message students will be receiving during this presentation.

If you cannot accommodate additional members of the public please explain why. A recording or livestream might be acceptable.

The reason for this request is, Ms. Silva acts as a political community organizer. And while I respect her role, we all know that her message will revolve around a biased political message. Parents and residents should be able to access what information will be shared with their children, and students in their public school.

Now that the district is inviting individuals who represent political organizations, how can others schedule different political organizations so they can present their viewpoint to the students? For instance, I already had one parent ask how they can set up an event with a pro-2nd Amendment political organization.

Please also be advised that I am attaching a 91-a/Right to Know Request below.

Since this is a Diversity Equity and Inclusion speaker, I am going to assume you will be inviting speakers from pro-life organizations, Americans for Prosperity, the Catholic Church, Protestant Church, Jewish religion, and from the Muslim faith. If the goal is “diversity,” I expect that means these organizations will be contacted by a member of your staff to also present their viewpoint to the students too.

————————————————–

Pursuant to the Right to Know Law (RSA, 91-1), I am requesting public access, within 5 business days, to the governmental records:

1) All materials, videos, documents, books, hand-outs, power-points, etc. that students will access during this presentation
2) All correspondence, text messages, emails, notes, etc. between SAU81 staff and anyone presenting during this presentation
3) All correspondence, notes, emails from meetings where school board members and staff communicated about this presentation
4) What, if any, academic content will be covered during this presentation?

Per RSA 91-A:4IV(C) If you deny any portion of this request, please cite the specific exemption used to justify the denial to make each record, or part thereof, available for inspection along with a brief explanation of how the exemption applies to the information withheld

Ann Marie Banfield
TRUST REQUIRES TRANSPARENCY

==================================================================================

After this became public, parents and residents began sending emails to request that they attend this presentation. Some parents requested that they cancel the presentation, due to the political bias they believed would be presented. Parents could see that there was no alternative viewpoint that would accompany this message.

I received an email back that indicated no one else would be allowed in to watch the presentation:

I have to admit, I wondered, what do they have to hide? I even suggested that the presentation be live-streamed or video taped if they could not accommodate the large crowd that was now planning to attend.

It wasn’t long after that email that Mr. Beals sent another email notifying that the presentation had been postponed:

The presentation was postponed, to which I replied:

Mr. Beals,

Thank you for the update. I expect that any political organization invited to speak to students will include an invitation to the parents, and be open to the public to attend. I would expect the same for any political organization no matter what message they bring to the students. By refusing this request, it gives the impression that there is something to hide.

All of the materials I requested should be readily available right now. All of the materials should have been requested and reviewed by your prior to scheduling any political speaker. This should have also been presented to the school board, and put up for a vote.

Enrollment is dropping in public schools across this state. Parents are pleading for a return to a focus on academic excellence in the classroom. It looks like there is plenty to focus on here:

The best thing you can provide your students is a quality public education, especially for your minority students. There is a constant struggle between those who want school choice for families, and those who do not. This example that you are setting feeds into the argument that families need an alternative education option through the scholarship program and EFAs.

With all of the learning loss during COVID, I’m embarrassed to see our public schools shift their focus to pushing a political narrative on someone else’s children. If parents are interested in this political narrative for their children, they can certainly seek that out on their own.

Parents are not always comfortable expressing their views to you because their children attend this school. I was shocked by how many families in your district reached out to me in ONE night.

Sincerely,
Ann Marie Banfield
===============================================================================

Whether you are a democrat or republican, we need to demand better from our schools. Go back to focusing on the core academic subjects. Stop pushing a political narrative on our kids. That’s how you support public education, and that’s how you support LITERACY.

It’s OK to be right-wing. Yes, that’s correct— there’s nothing bad about being Right wing. For decades, US citizens and many around the world have been attacked by corporatist propagandists who slander the political Right.

Correspondingly, the very nature of being on the Right entails a conservative mentality—tolerance, turning the other cheek, and not engaging in rhetoric that slanders or debases political opponents. Meanwhile, the political Left is liberal in its rhetoric, demeaning its opponents.

In an era of easily accessible information, attacks on the Right are prevalent and plentiful. The airwaves and internet seem awash with reasons why the Right is bad. The heavy bias of major tech companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook has led to a reality where information channels are extremely biased towards the Left.

Through all of this, it is difficult for any individual human to have a clearheaded view of the political landscape. There is such a virulent distortion to favor the Left.

There is nothing wrong with being on the Right.

The Right is cool, Just as cool, if not cooler than the Left.

Especially lately, post-COVID, when all of the leftists bought the corporate-fascist pharma agenda to vax the entire planet by force, the left has gone all in on totalitarianism and tyranny. The left has totally embraced the transhumanist agenda, which seeks to promote robots over humans, kill humans, and prevent reproduction by popularizing castration veiled thinly by gender ideology. Nothing about the Left is cool.

It has become a grotesque aberration that has been essentially installed undemocratically almost everywhere Leftists are in power. It has become a tool of globalist-corporatist elites praying on the stupid, the disenfranchised, and the desperate. The Left is evil. The Left promotes hate.

On the other hand, the Right defends everything we hold dear as humans seeking to engage in a prosperous, civil society. The Right is good. The Right promotes love and community.

The Left tries to compartmentalize everyone and isolate them in order to farm clicks on the internet and create dependencies on pharmaceutical products.

The Right looks to build civil society, uphold fairness and equality (not equity), and teach faith.

The Right is awesome.

The Left has made these realities so stark that the right thing to do, or in more accurate parlance, the proper or correct thing to do, is almost always the opposite of what the political Left decides to do. This has created some confusion between the political Right and the idea of doing right. They don’t necessarily overlap, but lately, they have aligned very closely.

Elon Musk recently said he’s not right-wing. Why would he care whether he is branded right-wing? It’s totally fine to be right-wing.

The Left has created a preschool playground-style atmosphere around political alignment, where being on the Right is made to seem ostracizing. But it’s not. The only thing strange about the Leftists’ attempts to play children’s social games is that they insist with such fervor that the Right is not good.

Perhaps the largest twisting of reality is the Left’s constant hammering that the Right is full of Nazis and fascists. This is an interesting point. The Nazis were National Socialists— and socialists fall on the political Left. Fascists are people who advocate for the alignment of government and corporate interests to the point of tyranny— and this is precisely what the Leftist political stance had been for the past decade. So, why the projection?

The Left is politically bankrupt. In the USA, the Left calls themselves the Democrat Party. Yet, this party advocates for censorship, corporate interests, jailing political opponents, authoritarian-style parliamentary politics, and widespread criminality. This is a party of fascists, communists, and criminals. They are not democratic in the least bit.

The Left sorely needs to be totally uprooted and thrown out of power all across the planet. The Left needs a hard reset.

Humanity deserves better than to allow itself to be led and represented by such filth as is on the modern political Left.

Go for the Right! The Right is the right way.

Today is Purim, a gallows-humorous Jewish holiday like Halloween and St Patrick’s Day. Jews often dress in costumes and overimbibe on Purim (see featured image above from Purim 2015).

Haman, a descendant of Amalek, is the bad guy. He is second in command to King Ahasuerus and commands that people bow before him. Mordecai, a Jew, refuses. Haman constructs a gallows impale meant for Mordecai. He also wrote an edict saying that on a particular day in the future, the wider population would be free to murder Jews. King Ahasuerus signs the edict, which means it cannot be revoked.

King Ahasuerus is very proud of his beautiful wife, Queen Vashti.  He wants her to show off her beauty to his friends, but Vashti (my hero) refuses.  The King’s advisors suggest he find another Queen. Persia is searched for beautiful women.  Ahasuerus chooses Esther and falls in love with her.

Mordecai convinces his niece, Queen Esther, to help save her people. She invites Haman to dinner, where the King learns of and understands Haman’s skullduggery. The King also learns that Mordecai saved his life from plotters.

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

Haman is impaled on the gallows meant for Mordecai.  A second edict allowed Jews self-defense on the appointed day (2nd amendment).

Haman’s ten sons were killed. The passage where the ten sons were killed is separated from the rest. Only three letters within it are written smaller than the others: tav, shin, and zayin. The gematria of these three is 707, which is used to express the Hebrew year 5707.

Ten Nazi leaders were hanged at Nuremberg in late 1946, Hebrew year 5707.  There was also jail time and heavy fines as a result of the Nuremberg trials for doctors and journalists.

The horror of Nazi medical experimentation during World War II led to the Nuremberg Code, ten ethical standards in medical experiments.  We should have followed this code in our management of the COVID experimental mRNA “vaccines” – we did not.

Many crimes were committed; many millions of deaths were caused worldwide by the “vaccine.”  The five sectors most responsible were 1) public health/medicine, 2) journalism/mainstream media, 3) government, 4) education/academia, and 5) BigTech (Google, Facebook, and pre-Musk Twitter).

Our 50 Attorneys General are lazy or incompetent. Trump and Biden are both in BigPharma’s pocket. Prosecute Dr. Fauci!

Someone might want to check the water at Buckingham Palace. The Royals are experiencing a sudden spate of cancers. King Charles, the Duchess of York, and the Duchess of Wales are dealing with what can’t possibly be jab-related turbo-cancers, so here’s another question we’re not supposed to ask.

Has anyone suggested Ivermectin?

The timing couldn’t be better. The FDA and plaintiffs (RobertL. Apter; Mary Talley Bowden; and Paul E. Marik) have settled with the FDA over that horsepaste nonsense that led to a systemic rejection of Ivermectin as not just a safe human drug (which it was long before COVID or Long COVID) but as something doctors had a hard time prescribing to patients. The FDA does not have to admit wrongdoing, but it has agreed to,

Retire FDA’s Consumer Update entitled, Why You Should Not UseIvermectin to Treator Prevent COVID-19, originally posted on March 5, 2021, and revised on September 7, 2021 (ECF No. 12, Ex. 1), while retaining the right to post a revised Consumer Update.

Delete and not republish (1) FDA’s Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook posts from August 21, 2021(ECF No. 12, Exs. 4,5), that read, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”; (2) FDA’sInstagram post from August 21, 2021 (ECF No. 12, Ex. 6), that reads, “You are not a horse. Stop it with the #ivermectin. It’s not authorized for treating #COVID.”; (3) FDA’s Twitter post from April 26, 2022 (ECFNo. 12, Ex. 7), that reads, “Hold your horses, y’all. Ivermectin may be trending, but it still isn’t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19.”; and (4) all other social media posts on FDA accounts that link to Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19(ECF No. 12, Ex. 1).

Amid all the hubbub about horse paste, gobs of studies since that have demonstrated that Ivermectin is safe and more effective at treating COVID than any of the mRNA therapies (and masks, distancing, and lockdowns combined), other benefits have managed escape velocity. Ivermectin has shown signs that it suppresses tumor growth in some cancers (2020). And in this study published in 2021. There are others, but the gist is this: Ivermectin is an antiparasitic wonder drug with wide-ranging potential to improve or save lives.

Can we assume that the Royal physicians are using global guidance (Ivermectin is widely available outside the US and saved many in Africa), or are they trapped in the western Pfizer media mill and view the stuff as akin to applying leeches? Related: Irony Alert: The FDA Issues a Warning about Misinformation on the Internet

We don’t know. Kate’s getting Chemo, they say, while King Charles appears poised for an unpleasantly short reign (which, given his age and not being named Elizabeth, seems preordained). Assuming he doesn’t get turbo cancer, William could find himself crowned young enough to last a few decades or at least until Netflix replaces him with a person of color.

As for Ivermectin, the FDA isn’t doing more than taking down its gang colors. They are not admitting wrongdoing (or that you were right) and continue to argue that they never told anyone they could not prescribe or use Ivermectin. Nor are they suggesting they even have that authority, but then they never had the authority to issue EUA approval for Pfizer or Moderna given that Ivermectin and Hydroxychlorqhine, both FDA-approved, were on the market in human doses, very inexpensive, widely available, and more than capable treatments … as well a for some forms of cancer.

If you are the sort to assume unpleasant agendas, then The Jab to Side-Effects to Turbo-Caners Triad is not beyond the realm of possibility. That they knew or suspected, which, if true, means they should be coming out against Ivermectin to treat cancers in  3…2…1…

You have a beautiful home filled with memories of your family growing up. You pay the mortgage, taxes, utilities, and whatever is needed for upkeep. Along with the memories, your home is filled with pride. You have planned a two-week family vacation, and your home will be vacant during your absence. Years ago, this would not be a concern.

Today, that vacant home is a source of anxiety that will occupy your mind while you are trying to enjoy a break from life.

Unfortunately, in this topsy-turvy world, as you were packing up the family car, a stranger was watching. As your taillights faded away, the stranger began moving his family in. This stranger just became your greatest nightmare. A family of squatters are the new residents of your beautiful home. They are uninvited guests whom the system will protect, and they will make it virtually impossible for you to evict them.

Squatting is not a new situation, and in the past, it has been a practice used by homeless individuals. The massive influx of illegal aliens has added a new component to an already severe problem. There are videos on TikTok of a middle-aged man from Venezuela explaining how he will find a house to move into and urging others to cross the border and follow his lead. He explains to his listeners that many cities and states have laws to protect not the homeowner but the squatter. It may sound bizarre, but the alien in the video is spot on.

Legislators in many states are scrambling to correct flawed laws on the books that do just what the video claimed. Most states have Squatter’s Rights. Below is the list of rights in New York City. These illegal occupants are so brazen that some generate an income by renting the house they occupy on Airbnb.

What you need to know about squatters in New York: What are squatter’s rights in New York?

Squatters in New York state can claim a legal right to remain on a property without the owner’s permission after 10 years of living there. However, in New York City a person only needs to be on the property for 30 days to claim squatter’s rights.

Why is it so hard to get rid of a squatter?

Squatters are allowed a wide range of rights once they have established legal occupancy, making it difficult to evict them.

How does someone become a squatter?

Some of the scenarios in which a person becomes a squatter include: a tenant refusing to pay rent, a relative of a former owner refusing to leave the property or even a stranger who entered the property and never left.

According to Manhattan-based law firm Nadel & Ciarlo, squatters must have a reasonable basis for claiming the property belongs to them and must treat the home as if they were an owner — such as doing yard work or making repairs.

How can a property owner get rid of a squatter?

A property owner must first send a 10-day eviction notice and then file a court complaint if the order is ignored. If approved by a judge, the owner can get a summons and have a sheriff evict the squatter. 

Why does the law provide squatters with rights?

The law was designed to help prevent long-term tenants from getting evicted. New York City’s law was partially made in response to vacant and abandoned buildings that were becoming a blight on the city.

How can property owners protect themselves from squatters?

Owners should avoid keeping any properties vacant for an extended period of time. They should also make sure the building is secure, has adequate lighting and has surveillance cameras installed.

If a squatter does appear, owners should notify the police quickly before squatter’s rights are established.

These rights and situations are specific to NYC, but be aware that every state has similar Squatter’s Bill of Rights. As I intimated in the title, where is common sense in this equation? There are similar traits of illegal aliens and squatters. They both have broken the law by their initial act. One broke into our country and the other into a home, yet neither is considered a criminal. Many laws are on the books to give the benefit of the doubt to both. One to watch is the one that must topple first. It reverses the classification of squatters as residents. Again, this is tantamount to calling illegal aliens newcomers! Where are the adults to start bringing sanity back to this country? We need answers and actions now.

Dear Superintendent Nadeau:

I wanted to share an article from Joanne Jacobs: Core Knowledge Students Learn More–A Lot More. As you can see, “Students taught a structured, knowledge-rich curriculum starting in kindergarten earned higher reading, math, and science scores in third through sixth grade, concludes a new study profiled in “Education Next.”

Someone should be identifying what is covered in each core subject K-8 and compare that to the Core Knowledge Scope and Sequence. Making a comparison between what is covered in class and what is not taught could identify knowledge gaps in our students. There is a great deal of rich content that needs to be covered in each of the core classes. Teachers find it helpful to be able to draw upon the resources offered in the Core Knowledge Scope and Sequence. That document can certainly be tweaked by teachers who may want to make it even better.

We also know that Common Core and Next Generation Science, failed to improve literacy for U.S. Students. After 14 years of this experiment, school administrators need to be finding ways to make up for these deficiencies.

We were told Common Core was the floor and that it was the minimum that students should be learning. I think our students deserve better.

I hope that under your direction, the principals in SAU21 can begin the important process of comparing the Core Knowledge Scope and Sequence, with what is taught in the K-8 classrooms. Adding content might be a good idea, especially since we know Common Core math leaves out important math concepts.

Here, the lead writer of Common Core, Jason Zimba talks about how Common Core is not for STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programs. Parents need to know that this district has addressed the numerous problems and flaws, and is raising the bar for our students.



While the scope and sequence do not identify Algebra 1 by 8th grade, this should be a goal for every elementary school in the district.
Any math program adopted (k-8) should put students on a path to Algebra 1 by 8th grade. This will allow our students to complete Calculus in high school, which is a requirement of Engineering, Math, and Science programs at our top colleges and universities. This may not be attainable for all students, but the majority of students should be completing Algebra 1 by 8th grade. This was required in states like California and Massachusetts prior to the adoption of Common Core.

The questions every school board member should be asking are:
1) How many students reach Algebra 1 by 8th grade?
2) How many students graduate from Winnacunnet High School in need of remedial math when entering college?

The last statistic may not be readily available. After the adoption of Common Core, many colleges and universities changed their remedial math classes to credit-bearing classes. It is now harder for us to determine what percentage of students require remedial math after entering college. You can start with the New Hampshire Department of Education and request this statistic. It’s one of the most important measures you and the board members should analyze each year.

Do the 8th-grade students take the TIMSS test every four years?
I’ve worked with some of our top mathematicians in the U.S., and all have agreed, the TIMSS is the best achievement test for math and science. Unfortunately the test is only given every four years, but it will compare our students to students in Singapore, Japan and the other countries that participate. This test should be given to all 4th and 8th-grade students in our district every four years.

Prior to Common Core, Massachusetts students were finishing near the top on the TIMSS. Their students could compete against students in the top performing countries. They had developed the best academic standards and tests in the country.

 

Do we administer the TIMSS test in this district? If not, I hope that this will be a priority for you and the School Board members currently serving.

Finally, I agree that having future teachers intern could be a way to expand the labor pool. Hopefully, that will help the district hire and retain good teachers.

Sincerely,
Ann Marie Banfield

Adam Montgomery certainly made for much water cooler talk, reaching beyond state lines as a high-profile defendant and convict. I know of nobody who disagrees that he’s a bad person deserving of punishment. With regard to philosophy, science, and spirituality, much talk can be had by experts and laypeople regarding his future, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about.

I’m going to cut to the chase and explain my objection to the political theater of HB 1713.

Enemy camp Rep Shurtleff, our most recent living former Speaker, got the House to suspend the rules, allowing him to file a very late-season “feel good” bill in an election year.

This bill does NOT change the outcome of the trial or the sentence awaiting the defendant, nor does it bring the victim back to life.  Let me be clear that I respect plenty of people who want Adam Montgomery to attend his sentencing, but my objection is to the process and for a variety of reasons.

Let’s start with Carol McGuire’s March 10 report, in which she said she voted against the suspension of the rules because it seemed petty and specific to one person.  “And just like that,” with a picture of Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, Granite Staters have a problem with an age-old law that allows defendants to be absent for their court dates. In my 30+ years living here and many more just outside the state line, there have been several high-profile criminal cases.  Suppose for a moment that one of those famous defendants exercised that option. Suppose it wasn’t an election year. Suppose the incumbent governor wasn’t an attention-seeking virtue signaler who’s looking to go out with a bang upon retirement.  I surmise that the regular process of how a bill becomes a law would be or have been followed the ordinary way without fanfare and special treatment.

Let’s talk about this fanfare and special treatment because HB 1713’s accomplice, um, I mean cosponsor, Terry Roy, expedited an executive session as the Criminal Justice chair on the same day as the hearing, March 20.  Terry Roy has been showing his true colors as of late, especially after collaborating with gun hater and committee member Rep Meuse on HB 1711, which the Women’s Defense League is NOT a fan of.  Just ask anyone who attended their rally last Saturday.

Terry Roy must be a prodigy of Jeb, who was the Senate HHS chair when he showed such special treatment for Jan Schmidt’s bathroom pass bill, HB 1130, in 2022.

Another part of the special treatment is the finish line.  The Damn Emperor told Adam Sexton he would sign HB 1713, but keep in mind that Adam Montgomery’s sentencing is scheduled for May, assuming nothing will delay that date.

Depending on the bill, His Excellency either quietly signs a stack of bills, followed by releasing a statement, or ceremoniously signs them individually at a table set up in front of the cameras outside a venue (such as a courthouse) and lets some passionately interested ordinary person keep the pen. My guess is that the latter will occur, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets its own very special name; “Harmony’s Law.”

Looking just short of the finish line, it’s also known that the enrollment process of bills making it through both chambers is a time variable.  The wheels or progress can turn slowly or quickly, depending on the machine operator’s excuses or zeal regarding the bill at hand.  Some bills don’t get signed(or vetoed) until later in the summer, but HB 1713 has a seemingly imposed May deadline, and it still has to visit the Senate.

My hope is that this bill dies in the House, and I’ve heard there’s a bipartisan group of critics. Again, and for the record, my opposition is to the process being used rather than the bill itself. Knowing how unstable the House is with its precarious composition, serial absences, and reputation of much after-lunch attrition, the success of HB 1713 is a wild card. If it passes the House, it’s off to the Senate Judiciary.

Does Sharon Carson like this bill?  Do the fine gentlemen attorneys like it?  It appears that criminal law is Daryl Abbas’s area of interest, given some of the comments he’s made in the Senate chamber.  If he needs some convincing to dislike it, I’ll point out that Attorney LaFrance, a frequent WMUR legal contributor, said defense attorneys usually advise their clients to appear.  And don’t forget that committee’s enemy camp: 2 unhinged nut job women.  One of them, who only recently resumed breathing fresh air full time, is an ordinary garden variety lunatic that Merrimack Police Chief Levesque probably endorses.  The other one is a dumb blonde lawyer who practices projection, gaslighting, lying, straw man arguments, and many other enemy camp toolbox tools, perhaps more than she practices law.

Remember that either one of them could dislike HB 1713 for the same reasons as House Criminal Justice Committee member Lemonade Linda HG.

If they want to be useful idiots, let them.

Whether or not HB 1713 makes its May deadline, crosses the finish line later, or dies with or without reincarnation next year, I seriously doubt that all the Concord efforts spent on it will result in improving the everyday lives of Granite Staters in the years to come.  Kitchen table issues are undoubtedly most on the minds of intelligent voters, and stuff like HB 1713 just needs to take a number and assume its proper place in line.

The post A Self-Interested Political Stunt That Doesn’t Have To Be appeared first on Granite Grok.

We can never again say that Jeanne Shaheen didn’t try to cut Federal Spending. Her Senate office slipped a last-minute addition into the 1,000+ page “keep the government open or the world will end (again)” budget bill that would cut 50 million in spending. Fifty million. It was a hiccup, to be sure.

That sum isn’t even a corroded penny under a couch cushion on the government porch compared to the generational debt she’s helped accumulate (roughly 24 trillion, so far, on her watch), but it’s a small price to pay to keep her corporate donors happy (subscriber wall).

Shaheen aides slipped the budget-cutting provision into a must-pass 1,050-page bill to keep the government open. The language would strip the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division of nearly $50 million, or roughly 18 percent of its resources.

The proposed cut comes out of a Shaheen-chaired Senate appropriations subcommittee, which issued a summary of the bill that failed to mention the controversial provision. 

“There’s going to be a bunch of companies that would have been sued for monopolization that will no longer be sued for monopolization,” said Matt Stoller, director of research for the American Economic Liberties Project. “And there’s going to be a bunch of mergers that are going to go through that shouldn’t go through because there aren’t the resources.” [emphasis mine]

The move runs counter to a push by her ideological boss, Joe Biden. The White House has been making a lot of noise about cracking down on big business.

Shaheen’s staff inserted the language just days before Biden announced a new “strike force” of officials from the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division “to crack down on unfair and illegal pricing.”

“This strike force will strengthen interagency efforts to root out and stop illegal corporate behavior that hikes prices on American families through anti-competitive, unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices,” the White House announced on March 5.

The spending deal to slash regulators’ enforcement budget would overturn a 35-year-old rule that outlines the way the Antitrust Division gets money.

It’s all noise. Smoke and mirrors. Misdirection. Joe needs someone else to blame for his crappy economy. You need to decide whether to eat or pay rent and Joe’s bitching about fewer chips in a bag which – if that’s dinner is a problem, but one he created with the help of Democrats like Jeanne (her real first name is Cynthia by the way) Shaheen.

But Shaheen’s fifty-million dollar haircut to the DOJ anti-trust division is her’s and nothing to sneeze at – it’s 15-20% of their budget. Add the provision to end how they get funded, and that’s an even bigger slice of a now diminished pie. The correct question to ask from someone who has signed off on government spending that added 24 trillion in new debt is, why? Who benefits?

Jeanne Shaheen and the industries that have so generously funded her political tenure over the fiscally deplorable abuse and debt slavery of future generations.

Anytime a student is seen by a school social worker, school psychologist, or clinical mental health counselor, and services are billed to Medicare or Medicaid by the school, a medical diagnosis code is applied. The medical diagnosis code is referred to as a CPT code, which is a procedure code. This refers to the services being performed. An example would be counseling or therapy.

The DX codes are referred to as ICD-10 diagnosis codes. Those with medical coding and billing would be familiar with all of this.

All of this information is included in the student’s medical chart, which follows them to high school, and into any record that is requested by the military later on in life. This also includes anyone who wants to pursue law enforcement as a career. See: https://icdcodelookup.com/icd-10/common-codes/mental-behavioral-health

It’s also important to know that President Biden wants to remove parental consent on Medicaid billing. Democrats on the House Education Committee also voted against HB1616, which would require parental consent for Medicaid billing. This could mean that you may never know what mental or medical services your child received at school.

Anita Hoge warned about some this years ago when she wrote: The Medicalization of Schools.

Now that we see schools hiring counselors, social workers, and school psychologists at an alarming rate, just check your school roster to see who’s been hired over the past few years. Parents need to understand their rights under the law and what this can do to a child long-term.

Federal law requires written consent from parents when their children are assessed or receive mental health services. But we know many schools do not obtain consent from parents when their children participate in Social and Emotional Learning, and their child’s personal mental health data has been shared without their knowledge or consent too.

While I want every child to receive mental health help if they truly need it, it’s important to know that something as simple as a trip to the school counselor for a bad day can have life-long consequences.

Act Now: ask your reps to vote YES on the reconsideration motion and vote NO on the Ought to Pass (OTP) motion for HB 1283.

Shockingly, this past Thursday, the New Hampshire House of Representatives, including many or the Republicans, ignored the concerns of the disabled community, veterans, and concerned New Hampshire citizens of all ages and cast its vote to legalize state-sanctioned suicide. Surprisingly, many representatives were not even present to vote. You can see the full roll call here: 33 Democrats voted against state-sanctioned suicide, 39 Republicans voted in favor.

HB 1283, relative to end of life options passed by the closest of margins in the NH House, 179-177, after lengthy debate. However, we are grateful to report there has been a request for a reconsideration vote, and so the bill will be going back to the full House again this coming Thursday, March 28 with the potential for a revote.

Please Submit Group communications or Press Releases to steve@granitegrok.com.
Submission is not a guarantee of publication – Publication is not an endorsement.

First, the House will vote on whether to reconsider. If the vote for reconsideration is successful, then the bill will again be voted on. If the reconsideration motion fails, the previously passed bill would move directly to the Senate.

The reconsideration vote is a true gift and our last chance to kill the bill in the House before it goes any further. Through the combined efforts of so many, we are so close to success. With one last push we can defeat this bill before it gets any closer to becoming law in New Hampshire.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
We urge you to contact your representatives to be present at the House session on Thursday, March 28 and to vote YES on the reconsideration vote and then NO on HB 1238 should the reconsideration motion pass.

Contact Your Representative

Rally on Thursday
There will be a rally in the Statehouse at 7:20 AM on Thursday, March 28, prior to the vote. Please attend if you are able. We especially encourage young people to be there to highlight the harmfulness of a bill that undermines the suicide prevention efforts that are so needed for young New Hampshire citizens. For more information on the bill, its risks, and the vital reasons why it must be killed, check out @nhcornerstone on X/Twitter. Please retweet Cornerstone media to spread critical awareness to kill this bill.

Signs will be provided but feel free to bring your own. Just remember, no signs with wooden or metal posts or frames are allowed in the State House. You can find more information about the rally here.

As a young law student in Washington, D.C., I experienced Watergate through the eyes of the Washington Post. I frequently mailed their articles to my Dad. He was convinced the Watergate break-in was a hoax in an attempt to remove President Nixon from office, one of the greatest international strategic thinkers of the 20th century.

Nixon had just been elected in a 49-state landslide over the hapless George McGovern, for whom I cast my first vote in the 1972 Presidential election. While few may know it, history has revealed Deep Throat (W. Mark Felt) leaked classified information to Woodward and Bernstein because he was passed over for the Director of the FBI.

Demolition-crat-gate (DCG) makes Watergate look like a “Child’s Birthday Party.” DCG is a relentless malicious criminal assault on former President Donald Trump and now candidate Trump to prevent the American voters from re-electing him for the second time, having stolen Trump’s re-election in 2020.

The barrage of vicious and unfounded political attacks by the mainstream media has been endless, beginning with Spygate and the Russian Hoax, continuing with the Zelensky phone call, an invasion of Mara-Lago by the FBI, the peaceful J6 demonstration infested with FBI, CIA, and ANTIFA agitators, and now malicious persecution dressed up as Lawfare in Georgia, Florida, New York State, NYC and Washington, D.C. by persecutors who were elected promising “to get Trump.”

Anyone watching President Trump’s re-election rallies held across the country will see massive crowds of thousands of patriotic Americans, proving most Americans have opened their eyes and realize the Demolitioncrats have conducted a persecution and defamation campaign against Donald Trump. They stole the 2020 election and intend to steal 2024.

For the sake of our nation, Donald Trump needs to be reelected as our 47th President!

No matter how despicable you believe Jeannie Shaheenie and Mags Hassan are … it’s not anywhere near as despicable as these two actually are. The latest minibus (as opposed to omnibus) contains a special earmark for late-term abortions in New Hampshire.

Perhaps every bit as despicable as Shaheenie and Mags are the NHGOP “leaders” who are too cowardly to call out these two witches and Dartmouth-Hitchcock.

I know. I know. New Hampshire Advantage. Focus on the fiscal issues. Workforce housing! (What a lovely euphemism for apartment complexes to bring urban density.) Education Freedom Accounts! (A relatively minuscule part of the overall education budget … but it allows the NHGOP to avoid directly taking on the education bureaucracy.)  Legal marijuana! Slava Ukraine! New Hampshire Advantage! Slava Ukraine!

Thank you, @senatorlankford for speaking out against the $ 2.5 million in minibus earmarks for two hospitals that perform late-term abortions.

The scope of damage caused by mRNA and lipid-nanoparticle technology might take years to unravel, but the data to date is not good. Many, including those who rolled a sleeve or two during The Scare are looking side-eyed at the blood supply, and yes, some have risen to meet that need.

Since the pandemic began, there has been a growing trend of people rejecting blood transfusions when their doctors can’t or won’t assure them the blood they are to receive would be from someone who hasn’t been vaccinated for the virus, no matter the risk of morbidity and mortality.

Now, grassroots efforts are revolutionizing blood donation by connecting Covid-19 unvaccinated blood donors with those in their own communities who need safe blood transfusions.

There is no guarantee that blood from the usual suspects like the American Red Cross is not contaminated (they don’t test for it) so if this is something that matters to you, there are resources available to consider now before you need blood and there’s no time to waste.

• SafeBlood Donation (Need a donor)
• Pure Blood Registry
• Blessed By His Blood Cooperative
• My True Blood

We have not checked or vetted these. This is just information. You’ll need to do the legwork.

And here’s a video with Del Bigtree from Highwire and the director of media relations for safeblood.com discussing Safeblood and the availability of blood from people who did not get the mRNA injections.
