The only thing more embarrassing about being American than Joe Biden is Kamala Harris. She’s actually a bigger train wreck than the ‘Big Guy,’ and that’s saying something. Biden is a fool and a joke which, in my opinion, is the only reason they let Kamala out of the box every now and again.

She makes Joe look better and that’s a very low bar. So here we go.

I’d like to tell you that this is time well spent, but I can’t. In fact, it may feel like 40 seconds of your life you wish you had back. But then, perhaps not. This is so absurdly written and badly delivered that it might just make you feel good about not being a Democrat (as if you need help with that).

It’s so bad it’s funny, by which I mean sad. Yes, sad. Maybe tragic. It’s like she dialed it in – her robot double could have done it better.

There is an update on the Voting Lawsuit I filed back in September. The State’s Motion to Dismiss was granted by the Court in citing a lack of  “standing” and a failure to state a claim by which relief could be granted. The following is my motion to reconsider the Court’s ruling:

We want to thank Dan Richard for this update. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE
you would like us to consider, please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

Memorandum of Law
Facts of the Case

1. The Plaintiff’s petition for an emergency hearing was granted, but the Court erred in ignoring the emergency and the Plaintiff’s due-process rights to present his expert witness to validate the emergency, viz: ignoring the state’s violation in both state and federal regulatory laws concerning the safety and efficacy of electronic devices exposed to election workers and the general public at-large, specifically, RSA: 659:42. OSHA regulatory law 29 CFR, section 1910.7, 1910.303(b)(2), and the expert report submitted in this case.

a) The Plaintiff’s expert witness testimony was denied, leaving the Court with no safety expert witness, nor was there any hearing of any experts for this Court to make a fair judgment of the Plaintiff’s claim.
b) Plaintiff’s claim was not permitted to be appropriately examined or validated by any experts for this Court to make a fair judgment regarding the safety and efficacy of the public.

Dan Richard - Motion to Reconsider Revision 2

 

The post Dan Richard: Update on Voting Lawsuit appeared first on Granite Grok.

We have been blessed as a nation with the “gold standard” of government. Unlike other nations that grant rights and take them away, the basic premise of our Constitutional Republic is: “We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights.”.

It is the function of government “to secure these rights.” Without these truths, our liberty is on the brink.

The “gold standard” of economic systems is a free enterprise based on morality. The system has been lost because the electorate lacks a moral foundation of biblical morality. Our Founders knew the foundation of money for free people must be anchored to “thou shall not steal.” The result therein is private property, an essential foundation of liberty.

In The Economic Consequences of the Peace, John Maynard Keynes states, “the best way to destroy the capitalist system [is] to debauch the currency,” a quote said to be traced back to Vladimir Lenin. Birthed in 1913, the Federal Reserve (FED) has usurped our liberties using Keynesian economics. A mechanism by which the government inflation machine increases the dollars in circulation while citizens are blind to who initiates their dollars being worth less. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method, they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.

Americans need accountability from the FED. The national debt was only 1 billion in 1913, jumping to 8 billion by 1918, 1980 achieving a trillion, today 30 plus trillion, and tomorrow? The sky is the limit.

Did you know that the FED became the embodiment of the fifth step that Karl Marx advocated in the Communist Manifesto needed to enslave a nation? Marx said, “centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly” What it amounts to is pre-meditated well planned generational robbery. Do you appreciate your elected officials ignoring this theft of your hard-earned money?

To combat the theft, we need citizen support for HR 9157: The Gold Standard Restoration Act. The bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney from W. Virginia puts control of the money supply with the free market instead of with the Federal Reserve. He informs us of the reality of how deep the hidden tax of inflation has been. He contends that the U.S. dollar has lost 97% value since 1913. That is a rate of stealing half the value of the American people’s wealth measured in dollars every 35 years. This is nothing more than the “euthanasia of capitalism”.

Congress plays the game of buying party support with your money. They please the bankers while simultaneously hiding big spending. The time is now to take back your wealth. Go to JBS.ORG for consequential legislative action. Demand your legislator support HR 9157. This is the solution to get the worlds greatest pickpockets out of our pockets.

The post Palate Cleanser – Let’s Blow Up Some Bridges! YEAH! appeared first on Granite Grok.

Fusion power is a hot idea. Figure out how to do what the Sun does without all the gravity. X amount of energy in and get x+ out. The world has been chasing this for a while, but you may have seen recent headlines suggesting they’ve had a breakthrough.

Did they? Really?

First, several people have seen this link or something similar. “US scientists make major breakthrough in ‘limitless, zero-carbon fusion energy: report.”

These headlines are popping up as if zero-carbon energy is something we must have (not true) and that this breakthrough will get us there (it won’t). And I didn’t know that. I didn’t know much about this pursuit until I went looking. And I’m still looking.

So, here’s the sales pitch.

 

U.S. government scientists at a California laboratory have reportedly made a monumental breakthrough in harnessing the power of fusion energy.

The scientists, working at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, recently achieved a net energy gain in a fusion reaction, the Financial Times reported, citing three people with knowledge of the experiment.  …

U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and under-secretary for nuclear security Jill Hruby are expected to formally announce “a major scientific breakthrough” at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on Tuesday.

 

It didn’t take me long to debunk the PR, which has a lot in common with the Climate Cult.

Electric vehicles (for example) are not clean, nor is the power they use, nor can we ever create enough energy to make them that way or charge them or replace the batteries without fossil fuels, but they leave all of that out. They offshore emissions or ignore them and pretend we’ve made a breakthrough toward net zero when they’ve done no such thing.

Fusion has a similar problem. When they say they’ve gotten close to the same energy out as energy in (or Q=1), they are not including all the energy used or needed, just some of it.

In the recent case, we have laser energy used to hit a fuel pellet but not the energy that powers the facility, maintains the vacuum, and cools and powers the electromagnets, without which the experiment and fusion were impossible. To quote Ace,

 

This is like claiming your company is running at a “profit” because revenues exceed the costs for materials — without noting that there are some other costs, like labor, rent, insurance, etc., that must be included to determine if you’re really running at a profit or not.

 

But it’s worse than that. Fusion is another way to create heat and steam to move a turbine that generates electricity. Energy is lost in each of those transitions, but none of that loss is calculated in the announced results.

Pointing an x amount of laser at a fuel pellet that releases 0.7 x of the laser energy is an improvement over the same experiment producing 0.67 x, but you’re not 0.3 x away from Q=1. You are 0.3 x away, and all the other stuff they left out of the calculation.

It’s a lot like Climate Cult math.

As you’ll see in the video below, when you roll all of that math in, the actual best guess is closer to Q = 0.1. That’s a far cry from the reporting (surprise!) and no improvement on the previous best, which all tolled resulted in about Q = 0.1. (watch the video, and by all means, send me more info on the topic, please).

Lots of headlines and back-slapping, and the stooge at the head of the Dept of Energy is selling the lie to the people, and she’s one of those people handing out the research grants. She needs to be appeased and appease; after all, it’s not her money, though I suspect she believes it is.

So, what incentive do scientists who want more funding have to be honest? What benefit is there to journalists looking to make a few extra clicks when it only debunks their intended eye-catching headline? None, by the look of it (like the Climate Cult or COVID-19).

The truth is not attractive enough, or the deception advances some other interest.

And I’m not saying fusion is a dead end (I do not know that) or that they didn’t make progress, but we are nowhere near what the rhetorical glossy tri-fold pamphlet they just handed out claims.

If you encounter the approved narrative, send them here or share this with them, and get (or give) some feedback. Maybe someone has more convincing math, and we’d be happy to have a look and share that.

 

Watch this to get a sense of the fusion energy misinformation campaign. There’s a bit of an ad for the video sponsor after her opening remarks, but most of the 12 minutes are devoted to the topic.

 



 

The post An Inconvenient Truth Behind That Fusion Energy “Breakthrough” … appeared first on Granite Grok.

Yes, it has been a bit amusing to see how banal and dribble-ish the high minded folks have expressed their ire. However, as with all good things, this, too, must come to an end (er, until the next set!). These mailers were meant to be multi-purposeful:

 

• Show how the Sexuality Identity Wokster Educators have taken over your schools
• Show their intent in replacing the morality you are teaching your children with theirs – and you didn’t know it what and how
• That your public servants don’t care about distributing/make available kiddie porn to underaged children
• And let you know that there are NH House Representatives that voted against YOU being in charge of your children (voted against bills dealing with Parental Rights)

Frankly, it was a bonus to show you all that Ray Buckley, Chair of the NH Democrat Party* said that “You’re a parent who will beat [your children] to death” if you done agree with the above. And noting that it was Maggie Hassan (while NH Governor) who installed the judge that ruled in the Manchester legal case that parents had no rights to their kids with respect to knowing their sexual identity while in Government schools.

But I digress. Three last and final returns to show what people thought about the porn in schools – or at least, what they thought of GrokPAC for pointing it out. At least until I write a couple of them back (heh!).

First, the “Republican Something”. What, they ran out of adjectives or couldn’t think of a proper last name for the envelope?

And the message back to GrokPAC was that the person sending it back was ABSOLUTELY thrilled that pornography is being taught to their children:

Who knew?  Will that person propose that the District hire a Pornography Coordinator?  The mind (and heart, sad to say) boggles at this outlook.

There was also a person that returned our envelope with their only message on it. At first, when I read just the first line, I thought it was our FIRST person that actually agreed with us at GrokPAC – that pornography in Public Schools is a PATHETIC idea!

Then I read the second line – oops!

 

So, shoot the messenger type of deal once again.

What’s a bit different on this one is that the Robicheau household is represented by Cassandra Levesque. She was the student (at the time) that led the charge to raise the age limit for marriage from 13 to 18. Her bill, introduced by Jackie Cilley, failed but the latter had other bills that did finally move the age to 16. Levesque is still campaigning on this platform.

Yet, I point out that if part of her “no more minor child marriage” is about sexual objectification of a minor girl, why did she vote against HB1431 (see here) that codified Parental Rights? Or even worse, voted against Parent Rights with respect to empowering Parents to pull their kids from objectional materials (HB1434 – her vote here, bill text here), like Pornography?

This one was short and sweet – and didn’t have the courage to “tell it to our face::

I do have to wonder HOW the word “Ignorant” is defined for them – just SO many questions that leads to! But, indeed, the “lower level vocabulary” march continues from another one:

So much for “involved Parents” and “elevated discourse”, eh? And people keep telling us that GraniteGrok is in the gutter? Pardonez, mois!

However, we did have one person that decided to actually say a few words:

“Invade my privacy…”?  Seriously?  It’s just another piece of campaign mail (even if targeting an issue few know about.  Or, so it seems, cares.  I would like to know what the “half-truths” are in the mailer as you can be sure that we can back up everything that was in the mailer. After all, it is MY name on it and I’m not going to intentionally going to put something out there as it’s my reputation at risk.

And if I didn’t believe in “transparency”, they would have been sent out and never mentioned again. Problem for the writer is that we HAVE made it quite publicly known and posted everything here.  You know, I keep reading “the lie,” “the hate, “…and “violence”?

Sorry, but that bit about “Never have I been so ashamed of the Republican Party”? I’ve never known ANY Republican to talk in terms like that….oh wait, I DO! From the Laconia Daily Sun, it was Cindy Creteau-Miller -> Cindy Creteau-Miller: Don’t believe lies pushed by sore loser extremists:

I guess the far-right extreme Free Staters are still spreading lies about me….over the mess the Free Staters created…sore, losing extremists who don’t care about anything but their own agendas…and won my primary because the people of Meredith who know me and voted for me know I will represent them in the Legislature.

The problem, it seemed that, like during the TEA Party movement a decade ago, EVERYONE that opposed her  RINO verbiage, is a Free Stater (did you know that Jeb Bradley was a TEA Partier back in the day?  No, I didn’t either and GraniteGrok was a co-founding member of the NH TEA Party Coalition). And like the Democrats (e.g. Citizens for Belknap Democrat formed PAC). And like Democrats, she decided to get on the “Scapegoat Express” – well it WAS Kiedaish that recruited her that had his own agenda. And while she won her Primary, it was clear that after the Primary, the Citizens for Belknap and associated Democrats made sure she lost – regardless of the “boosting” she gave them in her Letter to the Editor.

But I digress. The next message was from Hillsborough District 37 (Amherst, Milford) – no words needed:

 

Yeah, I don’t think GrokPAC or I am on their Christmas list. Oh wait – this person did ‘send words’:

 

All of the above aside, I’m glad the mailers were created. If I am going to tell other Conservatives (and other concerned Parents from other parts of the political spectrum) that they NEED to stand up in the fight in the Culture War, well then, by gum, I’d best lead from the front.  And GraniteGrok, I believe (with all of the writers), is in that fight and has been since 2006.

We have a track record and it’s path has been Consistent. And will be going forward.

And we’re not done yet!

* -Who will ever be remembered, at least for a generation, as THE guy that lost NH’s First In The Nation Primary for Democrats. Ancillary damage to follow.

 

The post GrokPAC – More from People Who Don’t Care About Smut in Public School Libraries Part 5. Last Edition for 2022 appeared first on Granite Grok.

Let’s take a look at the repressive measures the Bidenistas have employed on peaceful American demonstrators:

1.) The Pelosicrats ignored President Trump’s offer of the National Guard to supervise the peaceful demonstration at the Capitol. Remember, these same Americans peacefully populated the National Mall during President Trump’s speech.

2.) The Capitol Police were ordered to allow unsuspecting Trump supporters and American taxpayers to enter the Capitol.

We want to thank Charles Bradley for this Op-Ed. Please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

3.) The FBI (think Ray Epps) provided professional agitators to encourage  American citizens to ” break the law.”

4.) Having seduced ( entrapped) innocent, unsuspecting individuals into the Capitol, the FBI, Pelosicrats, and other denizens of the Deep State sprung the trap by using little-known cellphone technology to locate and arrest mostly innocent Americans in their homes.

5.) The Bidenistas ordered and executed a nationwide round-up of innocent American citizens. In criminal conduct worthy of Josef Stalin and the current Chinese Communist gangsters terrorizing China, the Bidenistas imprisoned these innocent American citizens under conditions unimaginable under the Constitution of the United States.

6.) As recounted in Julie Kelly’s book entitled ” JANUARY 6″, these horrific measures include the detention of non-violent offenders for over a year without bail, physical torture,  demands that their support of Trump be recanted, deprivation of medical care, and near starvation. The detained J6 Americans actually requested a transfer to Guantanamo with international terrorists, who are treated far better.

7.) Despite this monstrous treatment of peaceful American citizens in violation of endless Constitutional rights, nearly all  Republican politicians have distinguished themselves by their cowardly silence.

So, unfortunately,  the 2022 Holiday and Christmas season is besmirched by our failure as a Nation to accept this unprecedented defilement of our national character by the Bidenistas and Pelosicrats, who actually hate your country.

My fervent hope is that 2023 will cure this disease.

Until I met my wife I hadn’t been to Boston’s Museum of Fine Art since, well, elementary school.  Was not an art fan.  But we’ve gone several times (and IMHO we’re due to go again).  But I’ve never really liked “modern” art.  It uses shock value, not talent or discipline, to grab attention.

Art should inspire and uplift.  IMHO it should be an expression of the part of the soul that is most divine.  Not the most base.

Many things in life, in my experience, are a matter of perspective.  I’d always bought the line that non-white was “diverse” until a video discussed the incredible diversity above among white people.  As noted in the image.  That definitely changed my perception.

There is an oikophobia / xenophilia in our society these days… I remember one comedian years ago, don’t recall his name, talking in his routine how “sun people” have exciting, energetic, sensuous & sensual dances.  Meanwhile the Irish, “snow people”, have Riverdance, said with derision.  Yet… and I concede I’m not a dance fan in general… the videos I’ve seen of Riverdance, as well as other European dances, are equally amazing and captivating to my non-aficionado eyes.

 

 

All dance takes talent and incredible amounts of practice.  Is “good dance” hips-swaying pseudosexual?  No, and it doesn’t need to be!  Hopefully I’m around and alive for the next Scottish festival in New Hampshire… hopefully there will be one in the coming year!  Just because it’s not quasi-porn dancing, doesn’t mean it’s not highly worth watching.  And here’s some dancing from my wife’s homeland:

(I have not vetted this quote.)

 

E.g., I’ve often cited – and been white-hot angry at – Barbara Spectre and her stating that Jews need to be leading the demographic changes in Europe.  Certainly, neither she – nor the other Tikkun Olam fetishists – speak for me.

An Open Letter to Pro-Migration / SJW Jews – Urban Scoop

 

(I’ve seen the video where she says precisely this.  The quote is accurate.)

 

But more broadly, this woman, and other Jews, openly discuss these things… and then express shock and horror that the native peoples might not be interested in being diluted or outright replaced, and that they might resent those who openly state this is their goal.

No, I don’t like the white nationalist types and their Jew-focus – because it’s much broader than that.  But I understand where they’re coming from.  I can understand a viewpoint without agreeing with it.

Until ships became reliable enough to transport slaves profitably, slavery was purely a local affair.   Here’s Thomas Sowell’s chapter on slavery from his book Black Rednecks and White Liberals, read aloud:

 

 

Slavery existed until WHITE nations, specifically the US and Britain, put their militaries on the line to end it.  Might I speculate that one reason so many countries resent whites is because of this?  And stopping other practices, like sati in India?

“Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs. [To Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati religious funeral practice of burning widows alive on her husband’s funeral pyre.]”

The post TradeEU Review: Is It Safe? appeared first on Granite Grok.

Florida has taken the lead on things that needed doing, from groomers to invaders, and now they’ve elevated their latest target. Back in October, the State’s top Doc, Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, recommended that males 18-39 NOT get a COVID-19 vaccine or booster.

 

The Florida Department of Health (Department) conducted an analysis through a self-controlled case series, which is a technique originally developed to evaluate vaccine safety.

This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks.

Boom!

Governor DeSantis has also announced that “Florida is creating a Public Health Integrity Committee, which may operate as a replacement for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).”

I’ve included the Health Integrity Committee Roundtable below if you’d like to wade through that, but the entertaining part is this.

“In Florida, it is against the law to mislead and misrepresent, particularly when you’re talking about the efficacy of a drug,” DeSantis said. “So, today, I’m announcing a petition to the Supreme Court of Florida to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate any wrongdoing with respect to the COVID-19 vaccines.”

 

New Hampshire might want to get in on this or start an investigation. The Granite State loves jackpot justice. MBTE, Tobacco, and Oxycotin are but a few recent examples. Take something that was either mandated (MBTE) or legally sold or taxed, and later file a lawsuit alleging fraud to get a big payday.

The COVID-19 pandemic “vaccine*” is ripe and ready to be picked.

Big Pharma is fat and happy thanks to the Democrat congress printing presses packing its pockets with the fruits of the labors of those not yet born. But they failed to meet the most fundamental measure of informed consent for an emergency use authorization. Vaccine harms are undercounted but still numerous enough to make it the most dangerous vaccine in modern memory and perhaps medical history.

The discovery process would be a joy, and we’re happy to direct you or loan any links or research from the ‘Grok, given that the establishment media never reported any of it.

You would have to accept that whenever you (Gov. Sununu) or anyone in or connected to the government (like the State Dept. of Health and Inhuman Services) claimed it was safe and effective, they were a useful idiot. Perhaps the AGs office could avail themselves of the opportunity to run a parallel investigation into the CDC or the FDA. Or are we too fat and happy thanks to the Democrat congress printing presses packing New Hampshire “pockets” with the fruits of the labors of those not yet born in the name of COVID-19?

“Leading” is a balancing act, but I hear you have big shoulders, so it’s nothing you can’t manage.

And look on the bright side. Your Political opponents wet themselves with joy promoting this poison, so it would be difficult or impossible for them to make hay if you decided to give it a go. And let’s be honest. They love jackpot justice too.

I suppose you could wait to see what Florida digs up and then sign on to that.

There are so many options, but I don’t expect you to stretch. The real challenge here is whether the Ruling Class would permit you to embarrass them for a bit more coin, and you don’t strike me as the sort to ask.

 

Here’s the DeSantis COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Accountability Roundtable if you’ve got the steam and the bandwidth to wade through it.

The post Florida vs. Big Pharma …. Fight! – And Does NH Want in on This Gig? appeared first on Granite Grok.

Indeedie do! Or should I say doo-doo?  After all, that seems to be where the Left has taken this Culture War Battlefield.  It’s always denial, denial, denial with the Left – they accuse us on the Right of what they are actually doing.  And deny that they’ve done anything wrong.

We’re seeing this upfront and naming names in the release of the Twitter Files. For YEARS, the Left said that Conservatives were not being censored, shadow-banned, or locked out of their account for no reason at all. Now we’re finding out that, indeed, it happened.  Why do you think I do Right To Knows for emails so often of government workers and officials – it’s there, plain and simple.

And I’m going to have to do something similar (but still akin to it) for this next “responder” to our mailers.  As a reminder, here’s what the front of our mailer (stuffed into an envelope so that WE wouldn’t get arrested by the Postal Inspectors for trying to warn Parents (in this case, again, NH House Cheshire 10, District of Barrett Faulkner) that their child’s Public School Libraries have pornographic books. Some are incredibly graphic.

SIDENOTE: Warning – Not Safe For Work near the bottom of this post, but somebody’s got to fight at their level.  It is gross, however. Most of the books that are in this “space” and targeting young children is far worse. I’m embarrassed even to put excerpts up, but if good parents care about the innocence of their children, and they believe that THEY are the ones responsible for the issue and NOT the Government, they have to know what the Government is doing to their kids.

So this time I didn’t get a return address to send something back, but I did get this:

Now, I’m not surprised at the general tone or tenor of this but I was kinda amused at the hopscotch from one thing to another.  So GrokPAC (or me) is a “hater”just because we think that porn isn’t just that which is at X-rated shops or the magazines that used to be everywhere (but wrapped in brown paper to prevent little kids from viewing it)?  Or that we are to just surrender the “moral low ground” due to their Moral Superiority complex?  The books listed on the mailer (see below: Flamer, Gender Queer, This Book Is Gay, and Sex: an uncensored Introduction) have pornography. Heck, I was uncomfortable with the limited descriptions we used, but here we are:

Adults having no issues with underaged children pornography in their child’s schools as identified by their political affiliations.

But now I’m a bigot. Well, it isn’t the worst of words I’ve been called. Simply because I think that adults should be protecting, as the Left keeps wailing about, the “most innocent and vulnerable amongst us”.  I’ll take being called that, and worse, all day long with respect to that issue. More and more, I guess, adults on the Left are becoming more and more comfortable (if these returns are showing) with kiddie porn.  Sure, “moral high ground” indeed.

The part of the screed about the OBGYN?  Out of Left field, I guess (smirk). Just had to throw that Religion card in there for some reason. Again, when we made babies a profit center for abortion mills, our society lost a chunk of its soul. And if the person wants to talk about “The Science”, I am HAPPY to have that discussion (remember, I am a biologist so I know what a woman is – and a baby undergoing development).

And the another one, short and sweet (handled out of White River Junction, VT) was out of Grafton District 12 (Hanover, Lyme):

So from FLAMER, here is the least offensive illustration I could find. Remember, the folks writing this smut are preying on your children.  What child doesn’t like what we “of age” called comic books?  And now these “graphic illustrations” have been weaponized.

Yeah, this is in the Hanover School District (author: Mike Curator, ISBN: 978-1-62779-641-5). Also, in the Hanover Public School Libraries is Gender Queer (author: Maia Kobabe, ISBN: 978-1-63715-072-6) – it gets much more graphic:

BTW, I nixed those images for the mailers. There is much, MUCH worse in this and other books.

Which reminds me of the Right To Know for the Hanover Public School District’s card catalog (among other Districts) – I need to put that up.  And card catalogs from Berlin, Gilford, Laconia, and Oyster River.

 

The post GrokPAC – More from Pornography Deniers Part 4. Yep, Gonna Have To Break Rule #1 For This One. appeared first on Granite Grok.

Firearms owners know that in order to legally purchase a firearm you have to complete an ATF Form 4473 and submit to and pass a criminal history background check prior to taking possession of a firearm. Note that criminals do not have to do this.

That is why they are criminals.

Doing so, enters your personal information into an FBI database called NICS (National Instant Criminal background check System). That information is required by current law to be deleted within 24 hours, though the dealer is required to keep your 4473 for 20 years.

The controversy around whether or not the NICS database could or is being used to create a de-facto registry of who owns firearms is long established. Most firearms owners take comfort in the assumption that the FBI and NICS are following the law and believe that their information is being deleted as required.

That said, recently passed legislation has changed some aspects of the information provided to NICS when a background check is performed. With the passage of the NICS Denial Notification Act (NDNA) of 2022, the confidence that the FBI and NICS are following the laws is called into question. Two bills that have been made law at the Federal level are the cause for raising this question. They are S.675 and H.R.1796. Links to both are provided here for your convenience.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/675/related-bills
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1769/text

When the FBI NICS conducts a background check on people wanting to purchase a firearm there are three possible responses that can be provided – Proceed, Delay, or Deny. A Proceed means that a dealer can transfer the firearm to the applicant. A Delay means that NICS requires additional time to research the applicant. A Deny means that an applicant is a person prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition.

The new law is titled the NICS DENIAL (caps provided for emphasis) Notification Act (NDNA). The bill as passed, is silent on a Delay, outcome but is clear on a Deny outcome in requiring that the applicant’s address information (line 10 of the ATF Form 4473) be provided to the FBI NICS agent. That information is not normally provided in the course of conducting a background check.

When the line 10 information is requested, it is prior to the dealer being notified if the background check result is a Delay or a Deny. The line 10 information, by the new law, should only be requested for a denial and not for a delay. When a person is in a Delay status, their information, once moved to a Proceed, should be subject to the 24-hour deletion requirement. But is it, given the changes in reporting requirements? And what happens to the line 10 information that, by law, should not have been provided?

If a delay converts to a deny, then it becomes consistent with the law for the line 10 information to be provided. This is to allow the FBI to provide that information to local law enforcement authorities for possible action. In my opinion, this is a good thing.

I frequently make calls to NICS to perform background checks. Occasionally I will receive a request for the line 10 information. This is BEFORE receiving an NTN (NICS Transaction Number) is provided, which is the last step in the background check and when the status of the check is revealed to you. Most often, when the line 10 information is requested, the applicant is being placed on a Delay, not a Deny. This is inconsistent with the NDNA in that the law as written is silent on a Delay response and only addresses a Deny as the name of the law suggests.

After asking the question to a NICS agent and subsequently being transferred to two different people, I was never able to speak with anyone who could provide an answer to my question. I ended up leaving a voicemail for someone I was referred to but never received a return call. I sent an email to the FBI and got a reply from a Firearms Enforcement Specialist suggesting that I contact our FBI Field Office, which I did.

I talked with an agent at our local FBI branch in Boston who agrees that what is being done is inconsistent with the NDNA but did not have a remedy. The Specialist also suggested that I contact my Congresswoman, which I have done (Ann Kuster). I called the FBI Headquarters in DC and, after being on hold for 30 minutes, was transferred to another person who said we are just doing what “they” told us. When I asked who “they” are, he had no answer. This is a clear case where the FBI is acting in violation of current Federal law. And no one that I have been able to contact can explain why or suggest a remedy.

I get that they need to maintain a database of prohibited persons. But what are they doing with the information for the Delay responses, which 99% of the time comes back as a Proceed?

This is yet another troubling fact about the weaponization of the Judicial System in America. A Bill becomes law and then is poorly implemented. Or has it been implemented with a larger agenda in mind?

Still catching up on a few things and hopefully, this post will catch up on all the details of this saga until the actual court hearing happens. Last time, it was set for November 29 and I arrived at Laconia District Court ready to video the proceedings (set for a 1/2 hour).

When I went to register with the Clerk of Court, I was told that the hearing was off and that it had been continued. As I said in that previous post…

Sidenote: you can see the previous posts on this by clicking here).

…he had lawyered up. Turns out that he hired Seth Hipple of Martin & Hipple to be his legal counsel. It also turned out that Hipple couldn’t attend and had filed earlier (back on 11/23/22) for a continuance as he could not attend. So, hiring a lawyer for a single hearing that can’t attend and has to push out the hearing date is a legal strategy?

Apparently, with no other information, it is. This:

Notice of Hearing on Stalking Petition 2022-11-08 Golter v Lambert for 2022-11-29 Laconia District Court

 

And this:

Defendant Motion to continue Stalking Petition 2022-11-23 Golter v Lambert via Lambert Lawyer Seth Hipple Doc 1 Laconia District Court

 

And now, it has been pushed out even further:

Lambert lawyer Seth Hipple request of Continuence Stalking Petition 2022-11-23 Golter v Lambert Granted for 2022-12-29 Laconia District Court

 

So, a stalling game – from 11/23 to 11/29 to 12/27? Look, I know that the Court system is still short-staffed and still trying to dig out from the COVID mess of a schedule that accumulated. I also realize that this is the Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year’s season which makes scheduling just that much harder. So who is doing the stalling?  Is it Seth Hipple, the lawyer, or Lambert himself?  I can think of several reasons why the latter might, though.

UPDATE: as I was typing this up, another delay by Lambert:

Now, I’m no lawyer and have very little contact with the judicial system so I have no idea if this is par for the course in our neck of the woods or not But it does seem rather…different.

So the reason behind getting the Restraining/Stalking Order still exists – just not the order itself. So why (or by whom, I guess, is the better question) is this hearing being delayed again?

Bizarro world was one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes. It was the story of Elaine meeting three new friends and entering a parallel existence where everything was the polar opposite of Jerry, George, and Kramer. She was torn between the dysfunctional friends she joined at the hip and the better civil versions. Many of us are experiencing the opposite of Elaine’s dilemma. We like and enjoy the civil, everyday life we have lived for decades and want nothing to do with the bizarro version of Joe Biden and the Progressives. We are fighting hard not to switch. Can we hold on?

Why do people like Biden, Harris, Cortez, and Sanders dislike America so much, and why do Americans send them to Washington repeatedly? I think there are two primary reasons. Probably many more, but two are significant. The first is that these people lie, especially Joe Biden. They campaign and give speeches convincing Americans that they are the same. They talk about their roots and how they feel our pain and have solutions. It is all a charade. They don’t have solutions. They have an agenda, but they want you to believe the former, and people are naïve enough to buy it, vote for them, and even send them money. People are scraping to put food on the table and keep the home warm, yet they are sending these millionaires cash to keep them in office. As I said, it is a bizarro world.

Look at today’s issues that explain the conundrum many of us feel. Millions of Americans who didn’t go to college and work hard to make ends meet are asked to pay the college loans of people who graduated with a useless degree and cannot afford the student loan payments. Until recently, you had to be Vaxxed and wear a mask to deplane and enter America. At the same time, thousands of unvetted and Unvaxxed people from around the world were wading across the Rio Grande to get a piece of the American Dream.

We have rising crime and homicide rates in many of our major cities, but Progressives want to defund or dismantle our Police forces. We are housing illegal aliens in $500 a night hotel rooms while we have active military on food stamps and veterans living on the streets.

We have a President who shut down our pipelines and declared war on the fossil fuel industry and petroleum executives while using our money to help mining and drilling in enemy countries like Venezuela and Iran. We are pushing people to buy electric vehicles while telling them not to charge them as brown-outs darken our cities. There are dozens of examples, but I think you get the message. The Biden administration and Progressive politicians conflict with themselves and think that is a better state of mind than the one we enjoy. It is a bizarro world.

There are so many unanswered questions. Why do these politicians want to destroy the America many of us love? Why do teachers teach our children to dislike America and disavow its history? Why do teachers want to discuss alternative sex lives and promote gender reassignment to children in elementary school? The Democrats blame Russia for interfering with every election they don’t win while they are working on getting illegal immigrants the right to vote. We have a President whose policies are destroying economies worldwide yet says he never pays attention to the Stock Markets. You cannot make these situations up. But they do exist. Nobody is coming forth with the why, but they are doing their best to keep us in the dark about the process.

Feelings of futility are overtaking our psyche, and we feel hopeless about stopping the new world order thrust upon us. We cannot let this happen, for that is part of their plan. If we give up, it will allow them to put into place all the ideas they have to transform our world into the one they envision. Our forefathers and all the patriots who followed never knelt to the pressures of the irrational people who wanted to tear down this great country, and we are not going to be the first to take a knee. Stay strong and God bless our efforts.

Stew Peters is a feisty journalist who has emerged among the vast field of alternative media voices as a fearless opponent of today’s anti-American movement. Much of his focus turned to cover the COVID response as Peters, a natural skeptic of his government, could tell something wasn’t right from the outset.

Related: From The Stew Peters Network: ‘Died Suddenly’ – Watch It Now!

After two years of following the pandemic leadership response and exposing the lies, hypocrisy, double-speak, and abuses, he began to cover the sudden uptick in deaths occurring hours, days, and sometimes a few weeks among the recently vaccinated. The causal link wasn’t certain, but the evidence of adverse reactions to the vaccines was mounting quickly.

For example, insurance companies who considered the mother of all catastrophes a 10% increase in all-cause mortalities were now seeing an unimaginable 40% increase, not just in the United States but around the world. Instances of myocarditis and pericarditis in young men were occurring among the vaccinated at staggering levels. An internet search of the term “died suddenly” brought up so many thousands of hits it was hard to fathom. Even more so, those dying were often remarkably young and healthy, such as professional soccer players in Europe.

Embalmers began to discover a new type of clot never before seen in humans. Long, fibrous, and with the consistency of a rubber band or calamari, as one put it. Normal clots disintegrate under embalming – not these. Many reported the blood they were drawing out looked filled with sand or coffee grounds. They began to talk in their professional networks. Something was clearly not right, not since the virus began, but since the vaccines were released.

Died Suddenly chronicles these events, interviews medical experts who offer the grim reality they’ve witnessed, and paints a picture of what many in the film refer to as likely the greatest moral evil ever perpetrated among mankind. This movie is not for the faint of heart. Graphic images of blood clots and autopsies alongside actual footage of people going into cardiac arrest and stroke from all over the world (WARNING: some even falling under moving trains) run throughout the film to bring the point home. The unvaccinated are not dying suddenly, but the vaccinated are – why?

So NH-NeverTrump Journal has a new “analysis” of the 2022 election that … SURPRISE, SURPRISE … comes to the same conclusion as his prior analyses, that the NHGOP performed miserably because the stupid voters picked “bad candidates” in the primaries. NH-NeverTrump Journal’s proof is that “Republican” Chris Sununu won, while the “bad candidates” lost:

Granite State Republicans still in denial about their “candidate quality” problem have used this factually incorrect conventional wisdom about young voters and Democratic turnout to push back against the argument that their candidates lost because they picked weak candidates. While the partisan breakdown of who showed up in the Granite State is not yet known, we do know that 352,000 of the 627,000 Granite Staters who voted were willing to cast a ballot for Gov. Chris Sununu. So why not vote for the other Republicans on the ticket, too?

Instead, Sununu outperformed the rest of the field by about 75,000 votes. Part of that was the power of incumbency and name ID — but not all of it. Some of those 75,000 Sununu voters knew plenty about Bolduc and Leavitt. And they voted against them. Using data from the Fox News exit polls, Aliza Astrow with the group Third Way projects that Bolduc not only lost 50 percent of independent voters to Sen. Maggie Hassan but also seven percent of his own Republican voters, too.

By comparison, Sununu lost just two percent of GOP voters in his race, and he picked up plenty of Democrats.

Sun-King Sununu picked up Democrat votes because he is more Democrat than Republican. He supports abortion up until birth (and for all we know post-birth); he praised the local Black Lives Matter chapter at a time when BLM and Antifa were burning and looting cities throughout America; he watered down a bill that would have banned Critical Race Theory; he believes it is “discrimination” to ban biological males from competing as girls in school sports. Etc., etc., etc..

So why did Sun-King (supposedly) only lose two percent of GOP voters, if he is more Democrat the Republican? Because the ever-shrinking portion of actual Republicans in New Hampshire support him because he SUPPOSEDLY is the lesser of two evils.

Yes, I did get an answer concerning my RTK:

HB481 authorized a new Right To Know Ombudsman Office to be located in the NH Department of State once it has been staffed. As of last week, no such position has been filled. No news items have covered such an appointment or activation of that office. HB481 was enacted into State Statute on June 24, 2022, being duly passed by the General Court, with Governor Sununu’s signature.

This demand is for any and all communications (emails, voice mails) and other documents (e.g., position postings, resumes, evaluation documents, meeting notices, meeting notes, background checks, et al) pertaining to the hiring and appointment process concerning any and all respondents looking to be the first Ombudsman for the Office of the Right To Know

Good morning!

I am in receipt of your “initial response” and I’m glad to see that you will be honoring the details of my Right To Know concerning the Office of the Right-To-Know Ombudsman (Ombudsman to be?).  If it will take 30 days for a complete response to be assembled, I am happy to accept partial delivery of such Responsive Records that may be gathered sooner than your 30 day deadline.

Also, a question concerning:

…please be advised that it is the long-standing position of the New Hampshire Department of Justice that RSA 91-A does not apply to the Governor’s Office.

Would you please forward that memorandum/finding to me as well? I would like to read the legal foundation for it as I don’t see that the “Governor’s Office” is a listed Exemption in RSA 91-A:5.  As an engineer and as a former elected official who used RSA 91-A to keep other elected officials from going “off the rails” with respect to the rubric of “Follow The Law”, I am quite curious of the legerdemain employed in that position.

Oh, and if this new request rises to the level of another RTK, let me know and I can write one.  Should that be sent to, if needful?  Or might you have a contact in the NH DOJ that would be best to handle that?

Thanks!

It WOULD be rather interesting to see that reasoning.

And I still love the irony of having to file an RTK to see what is going on with the RTK Ombudsman position…

XII. Records protected under the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine.

XIII. Records of the youth development center claims administration and the YDC settlement fund pursuant to RSA 21-M:11-a, with the exception of settlement agreements, which shall remain subject to RSA 91-A:4, VI, and, after a claim has been finally resolved, such other records the release of which would not constitute a violation of other provisions of law or an unwarranted invasion of a claimant’s privacy.

Note that “Office of the Governor” doesn’t appear at all in those 13 exceptions.

Note that last bit, XII – am guessing that the NH State Government wants to keep secret any malfeasance concerning the Sununu Youth Development Center. Why, however, would it need special “recognition” where other statutes would otherwise be in force? Why is it so special?  But I digress.

Thirty days, eh?  Time to put it in my planner.

Speaking of which, I have a bunch of RTKs to go back and follow up on now that the elections and recounts are over. And post some of THOSE responses that haven’t been posted yet.

Last night was the Newfound school board meeting, and a presentation was given showing parents, teachers, and school board members some of the subjective pornographic material being taught to K through 5th grade with a focus on 1st and 2nd-grade material.

Starting at 38:25 minutes.

 



 

Folks, this is a fight for our kids and the future generation of NH and the USA. Our kids are being subjectively brainwashed by tiny pieces of bad material that is being introduced and is being taught today to our kids. Without you getting off your couch and coming to these school board meetings, we will lose our kids forever.

Someone sent me this link below showing we are losing our parental rights and the schools want control of our kids. Besides this material, there is SEL starting to take hold as well, which is also linking up with CRT (Critical Race Theory). SEL (Social Emotional Learning) is another form of counseling for the kids, maybe with or without your consent.

When a student has an outbreak in class, they have special counselors/Aides/people who will try to reshape or train your child to not have an outbreak which makes sense, but this is the responsibility of the parent to fix, not the school. If the parent is unwilling to fix/correct bad behavior, then maybe the state needs to be involved, but the schools should not be taking on this burden and liability.

This is another reason why our schools cost so much. They add these people to counsel/correct the student’s behavior and then add more staff to help the teachers in one way or another and then add Admin staff for curriculum or data analysis or to create new grading instead of A B C D F or 80 90 100% which is now called Advanced, Proficient, Basic, Development, Insufficient (High School grading could be different). This leads to costing taxpayers more money and making the school system the parents of your children/grandchildren.

If we do not take this seriously, we lose.

If we do not get out to meetings we lose.

If we do not start talking to our neighbors, we lose.

If we do not run for office/school board, we lose.

And if we do not start educating everyone we run into, we lose. Fight, not just for your kids but everyone’s kids,

Ten of us cannot do it all.

 

Education as a Battleground

Sam’ Fabulous’ Brinton has been released from his job as the “Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy.” Brinton faces two felony counts of theft, and while that’s as it should be, there’s something more ghastly for which he is responsible.

First.

 

[A] felony arrest warrant was issued in Las Vegas for the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy on a second felony charge for stealing luggage from the Harry Reid Airport.

Brinton was first charged with a felony in November for stealing a woman’s Vera Bradley suitcase reportedly worth $2,325 from baggage claim at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on Sept. 16, according to court documents. Brinton at first denied the charge, but later said he took the designer luggage by mistake.

 

Sam likes to steal ladies’ luggage. It’s like shopping without paying, plus you get great luggage. And while that’s amusing on some level, this is the real issue. Brinton’s story about being abused in therapy motivated many LGBT activists to push for “conversion therapy” bans, but some in the movement suggest he was probably lying.

 

Brinton testified in support of therapy bans, claiming that he suffered from “conversion therapy.” However, even LGBT activist Wayne Beson — who vehemently opposes “conversion therapy”—noted in LGBTQ Nation that Brinton’s story was “too good to be true” and faulted LGBT activist groups and the press for failing to verify it before championing his cause. …

According to the LGBT group The Movement Advancement Project, “conversion therapy” bans have become law in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Washington, D.C.

 

According to “Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Jr., a licensed psychotherapist,” “Brinton’s testimony about his alleged experience played a key role in banning legitimate practices across the nation.”

In New Hampshire, it is illegal for a therapist (coach, teacher, pastor, or just about anyone) to help someone who has gender dysphoria choose to be their biological gender. In other words, they were born male, and they decide they want to be and feel and live as a biological man and need some help, but no one can legally provide it.

Years later, diversity-hire Brinton appears to have other mental health issues, including support for an illegal prostitution site called Rentboy (no longer in service) and the desire to steal expensive luggage. And while he might suffer some consequence for that though I doubt it(do you put him in the men’s or women’s prison), how do we repair the damage done to the mental health profession?

Therapists have been gag-ordered even when their patients want the treatment they are prohibited from providing. And how do we undo that damage?

I think someone who is dysphoric and wants help to maintain their biological gender needs to seek therapy they can’t get. They and their therapist could challenge the law.

I’m not sure that will happen, but short of our legislature having the votes (they do not have them this session) or the stones (will they ever?), people with mental health issues will be denied treatment.
