Manchester, N.H.
The actions of the District Attorney and the Grand Jury in Fulton County, Georgia, should alarm every citizen in this country. This Grand Jury convened in 2022 to investigate any criminal activity involving the 2020 Presidential election. The Jury finalized its report in December 2022.
The District Attorney did not act on the recommendations until recently when the DA indicted Former President Donald Trump and 17 staff members and associates. The Grand Jury also recommended charges against Senators Graham and Perdue. This runaway jury was motivated to recommend charges against as many people as possible. This Jury was drunk on power, and District Attorney Willis is using this Jury to indict Trump and members of his staff to influence the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election. That may seem like a rash statement or assumption, but the proof is in her actions and scheduling of trials to coincide with the scheduled Republican Convention and Primaries. These trials would take Donald Trump away from these critical events as he runs for President of the United States.
I have not served on a Grand Jury but was called to Jury Duty for a month at the Massachusetts State Supreme Court and served as a jury member on three trials. I enjoyed the experience, but it was an eye-opening event and an excellent study of human nature. You would expect to be among various personality types and political-leaning individuals, and you would not be disappointed. The disappointment came in the level of seriousness that the members had. Some took their role seriously, paid attention to the testimony, weighed the evidence, and debated their stance. Others were there strictly against their will, did not take the procedure seriously, and voted with no conviction. This would not be my choice of a jury of my peers, and I fear this is what we saw in Georgia.
Fulton County, Georgia, is a predominantly Democrat area of Georgia and voted overwhelmingly for Joe Biden. They are not just for Joe Biden, but they despise Donald Trump. With their newfound power as members of a Grand Jury, they saw and seized an opportunity to harm the Former President. The like-minded DA is using this Jury to make a name for herself on the National level. A District Attorney should be as blind as Lady Liberty, but in this case, DA Willis is far from blind. She is opportunistic in filing the indictments but will overplay her hand should she pursue charges against United States Senators. She may trade her perception of power into the reality of embarrassment in front of the Supreme Court, which will not take lightly the weaponization of the Court against a Former President and sitting Senators.
Our Judicial system is the envy of the Free World, but like much of Government, the system is broken. It does not need to be dismantled, but it does require repair, and it could start with a better relationship between the DA and Jury. The role of the DA is not to manipulate the Jury, but they do need to guide and educate the Jury on the law and their role. Unfortunately, being unbiased in today’s Justice Department at every level is nearly impossible, which makes anyone’s fate in a Jury Trial a crap shoot and not one of blind justice.

GraniteGrok.com is organizing an event with musicians, a few high-profile speakers, and maybe even a comedian. So, it will not be a conventional “political event,” and why would it? This is GraniteGrok!
But yes, we will discuss politics, as will many of our speakers (between the music, guests, and – maybe – the comedian). It’s a pretty big deal (we think) with a lot of moving parts, and we have three requests from our readers out of the gate.
We’re accepting suggestions from now until Monday night, and if we choose yours, you will get two free tickets to the event you helped us name, and there is no limit to the number of suggestions you can provide. If you plan on sending in more than one, please send them together if you can, but all submissions will be considered.
Skip, Mike Rogers, myself, and a handful of folks helping to line up speakers and entertainment will pick a winning name and announce it here on Tuesday evening. The winning event name will be used in all the promotional materials for the event, and winners can even remain anonymous if they think they must. You’ll get your tickets and get to keep your anonymity.
Please submit suggestions below in the comments or email them to me at steve@granitegrok.com.
I will give you one hint at a direction when pondering your submission. I have, for nearly as long as I’ve been at this, wanted to do an event in Groktober.
Good Luck!

It so happens I am in Seattle, Washington, this week helping my son settle into a new living/job situation, and one of the first things you notice when driving around this city is how absurdly expensive gasoline is.
$5.30 per gallon of regular as opposed to the national average of $3.80 – a $1.50 difference, according to AAA. What I see with my own eyes is closer to $5.50.
That’s $88 to fill a sixteen-gallon tank. It’s the highest cost for gas in the nation, vying with California for that dubious distinction. But, if our policymakers in Montpelier have their way, California and Washington will soon have another competitor in that race: Vermont.
The reason for Washington’s astronomical prices at the pump is the passage in 2021 of a “cap and trade” program (aka a Carbon Tax), forcing certain businesses that generate greenhouse gas emissions (according to the state website: “business types include (but are not limited to) fuel suppliers, natural gas and electric utilities…”) to purchase carbon allowances in order to sell their product to consumers. This is much like the one our legislature just passed for home heating fuel (S.5) and just like the one the Vermont Climate Council is urging on our little state for motor fuels such as gas and diesel.
Washington’s carbon tax went into effect in January of this year. The first quarterly auction of “carbon credits” took place on February 28, and since then, its impact on per-gallon gas and diesel prices is estimated at somewhere between 41 and 55 cents — and steadily rising. It will be interesting to see what happens to home heating fuel prices when that market gears up as cold weather sets in. Some here are already raising that alarm.
Like Vermont, Washington lawmakers passed their own version of our Global Warming Solutions Act (theirs is called the “Climate Commitment Act”), mandating greenhouse gas reduction with targets starting in 2035 and reaching “net zero” by 2050. And, like Vermont, they did so under a smokescreen of misinformation and outright lies about what the program would do. The big lie – just as we’ve been hearing here in Vermont about the Clean Heat Standard carbon tax on home heating fuels – is that the cost increases resulting would only amount to “pennies.” That’s a clever spin, I guess, as there’s no limit to the number of pennies they’re really talking about.
But that’s not the only complaint. As a story in Climate Wire summarizes, “[A]nger is rising among other groups, including some that had supported passage of the climate law, which say Democratic officials did not prepare the public for the costs.” That’s a nice way of saying the politicians deceived the public about the policy in order to pass it.
Among those aggrieved are Native American tribes who say the high prices are regressive and thus disproportionately hurting the poor. The farming and fishing communities claim that even though fuel for their industries was exempt from the law, obligated fuel dealers are adding the cost of the credits onto their bills anyway. The fuel dealers counterclaim that the onerous $10,000 per day fine for selling un-credited fuel is so onerous, coupled with the complicated nature of selling fuel to customers for whom you can’t ultimately know what they use the fuel for, means dealers can’t afford to make a mistake about who they charge and who they don’t. Vermont farmers and foresters should take note of this when similar promises are made to them by our own politicians and activists.
The impact of all this on Washington State residents’ cost of living and quality of life doesn’t look pleasant. Again in reference to that Climate Wire article, “The Department of Ecology recently drew criticism after quietly editing its webpage describing the climate law’s impacts: First, it said the program was expected to affect Washington’s gas prices by 1 to 3 percent; it was changed to say the department expects an impact of 1 to 3 percent on the entire state economy (emphasis added).”
Oops. Not an insignificant typo there! Conveniently corrected after the law passed, of course. Vermonters can expect similar oopsie “typo” corrections when our Clean Heat Standard goes into full effect. But we can learn from Washington and avoid a carbon tax on gasoline. Our legislature hasn’t done it yet. Let’s make sure they cross it off their wish list.

What have we gotten from Republicans since the Biden-Regime seized power? Tough talk … but empty words … because NO ACTION to back up the talk … indeed, just the opposite. For example, here is Lisa Murkowski talking tough, literally hours after acting in concert with the Biden-Regime. It’s a put-on. The GOP is controlled opposition.
Murkowski 1 pm, saves Biden NLRB nom
Murkowski 6 pm, fumes about Biden Alaska energy policy: "These decisions are illegal, reckless, defy all common sense, and are the latest signs of an incoherent energy policy from President Biden"
— Burgess Everett (asapburgessev on ) (@burgessev) September 6, 2023
And here we have Kelly Ayotte talking tough on the border. But the Biden-Regime is NOT “sitting on their hands.” America’s open-borders are INTENTIONAL, not incompetence. Biden said he was going to open the border during the 2020 Democrat primary. But did “border-hawk” Kelly Ayotte support Donald Trump in 2020?
Sorry, I know it is really, really, really important to so many of you to believe that Ayotte is a conservative … that she really means what she is saying about border security. Question … do you still believe that all the GOP politicians railing against Obamacare ever intended to repeal and replace Obamacare? Even after the NHGOP wrote Obamacare into State law?
“It is clear that we have a serious problem unfolding along our northern border – and the Biden administration is sitting on their hands while dangerous criminals and drugs flow into our state.” https://t.co/PPqBaQpSXG #nhpolitics #nhgov

I was going to do a detailed fisking of this, but I’m short on time and long on the need for content (this morning). And the truth is, while you probably come here to get our take, sometimes the thing speaks for itself, and in the case of Victor Davis Hanson, does it well.
Rather than muck it up too much beforehand, I’m going to leave this right here with you and let readers and commenters fill in the blanks.
This is excellent if you’ve not yet seen it and excellent after multiple views. It is at the very heart of how the left has undermined America since Barack Obama was elected in 2008.

Many Americans are shocked by proposals to reduce police protection while opioid deaths skyrocket, borders are flung wide, and urban businesses are trashed and ransacked on national TV as political protests.
Yet increasingly, public safety servants are not investigating rape, burglary, and drug use but are enforcing social justice codes.
Police Protect PrideIn New York City, for instance, CNN recently reported that the Hate Crime Task Force is investigating “a criminal mischief pattern” of vandalism against Pride and transgender flags. This despite a 22% surge in major crimes in the city in 2022, including robbery and burglary, according to The New York Times.
Progressive dogma calls for simultaneously defunding and reprogramming police departments. A key ideological initiative is to “decarcerate,” to soften the enforcement of laws and undermine police authority. The kingpin of this jurisprudential experimentation in New York City is Alvin Bragg. According to Daily Signal writer Jarrett Stepman, “One of the crimes his office won’t prosecute is armed robberies of businesses. Suspects in those cases who make off with less than $1,000 in stolen goods will now be charged with the lesser crime of petty larceny, a misdemeanor. Among the other crimes his office will no longer prosecute are resisting arrest, fare beating, prostitution, and trespassing.”
The Pride flag destruction in NYC is part of a national spate of such incidents during Pride Month, even as San Francisco and other major cities succumb to a scourge of drugs, gang activities, and related crime. A recent burnout by a car on a Pride-flag crosswalk in Kirkland, WA, garnered national attention, as the once speech-tolerant left called for criminal sanctions for “hate speech.” USA Today reported on June 8:
“In the past week alone, Pride flags have been stolen, slashed or burned in at least five states, including California, Utah, Arizona, Nebraska and Pennsylvania. That’s on top of similar incidents in California and New York in May, including a man that defecated on a pride flag in Manhattan.”
Those defacing Pride and BLM insignia are expressing their political discontent with the government-imposed domination of the ideologies those symbols represent. This is free expression, clearly protected from government criminalization by constitutional law (unlike burglary, armed robbery, and business burning).
Ironically, when it comes to torching flags in political protest, the American flag has featured prominently as a controversial symbol. The Nazi flag is legally protected political speech, unquestionably hateful though it be. But the same liberties that permit the display of a Confederate or Nazi flag also permit the burning of Old Glory. Government is restricted in the United States from regulating citizens’ religious and political expression, and this includes extending special favor to the national flag.
As Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy observed in his concurrence in Texas v. Johnson: “I agree that the flag holds a lonely place of honor in an age when absolutes are distrusted and simple truths are burdened by unneeded apologetics. Though symbols often are what we ourselves make of them, the flag is constant in expressing beliefs Americans share, beliefs in law and peace, and that freedom which sustains the human spirit. The case here today forces recognition of the costs to which those beliefs commit us. It is poignant but fundamental that the flag protects those who hold it in contempt.”
Penalizing those who disagree with the symbols of rainbow-gay pride, trans-rights, LGBTQ2+, or skin-color-focused sloganeering displays intolerance. It is “poignant but fundamental” that these flags do not protect those who dare whisper discontent.
This was similarly expressed by the Supreme Court in United States v. Eichman: “Punishing desecration of the flag dilutes the very freedom that makes this emblem so revered, and worth revering.” Just so, punishing desecration of Pride and BLM flags dilutes the very freedoms symbolized by the American flag.
The government is bound by First Amendment shields from regulating expression, yet that is exactly what government protection of social justice symbols constitutes. In a recent case of Pride flag desecration in New Jersey, Harrison Township Mayor Lou Manzo exhibited the dangers of government censorship. In a Courier Post report: “’This incident also serves as a reminder that hateful minds still exist and simply ignoring it actually enables this behavior,’ [Manzo] continued … Township police have started a ‘full investigation,’ which includes contacting the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office and filing a bias incident form, the mayor said in a statement.”
A bias incident form is not likely to be seen for publicly burning an American flag. Burglars are not pursued or imprisoned, but stolen gay flags merit “full investigation.” The government now regulates “hateful minds.”
Social Justice or Real Justice?In words that apply to Pride flags (even when burned hatefully), the 1989 Johnson decision warned: “If we were to hold that a State may forbid flag burning wherever it is likely to endanger the flag’s symbolic role … [w]e would be permitting a State to ‘prescribe what shall be orthodox’ by saying that one may burn the flag to convey one’s attitude toward it and its referents only if one does not endanger the flag’s representation of nationhood and national unity. To conclude that the government may permit designated symbols to be used to communicate only a limited set of messages would be to enter territory having no discernible or defensible boundaries.”
New Jersey, New York, Vermont, and other states enforce woke orthodoxy in a nation that permits its own flag to endure burning as a symbol of liberty. These other state-erected, protected, or endorsed ideological flags are symbols of political oppression, of freedoms denied. To say so by objecting to their public display by burning them is verboten.
America’s police are being employed as Taliban-like enforcers of the state woke religion, replete with criminal investigations of anyone who defaces the reverence extended to the rainbow flag. This while rising numbers of burglaries, rapes, and robberies go uninvestigated or are unpunished once proven. In this upside-down woke world, law enforcement is policing citizen expression to enforce the woke cult at the expense of public safety and free speech. Perhaps this new face of police abuse merits defunding.

It is naive of us to hope that we or they learned any lessons after the debacle of the original response to COVID. They aren’t reading the docs forced out into the public from Pfizer, the FDA, or the CDC. They don’t know what the experts had to admit was true.
That information needs to find its way into the hands of those who might listen because there is no debate about whether or not New Hampshire’s towns and cities have the authority to prohibit mandates. The governor refused to deny them that power during the last dance, claiming it was a matter of local control. No emergency orders were issued to protect your medical autonomy or health freedom. And there was no specific legislation to prevent towns from mandating masks (of which I am aware).
So, if you can mandate masks, you can also mandate that there shall be no mandate. That’s what happened in Huntington Beach, California. Yes, California.
Mayor Pro Tem Gracey Van Der Mark, who agendized the item, said during the council’s meeting that there have been reports of a possible COVID-19 resurgence, which could lead to more mandates.
“The City Council of Huntington Beach should take a stand against government imposing on individual liberties and broadly imposing response measures on individuals that have been proven to have little or no effectiveness,” Ms. Van Der Mark said while reading from the agenda item during the meeting.
The opposition responded with what I can only call an absurd response.
“None of us are public health experts, none of us are research experts. I’m the only person up here with a science and engineering background. For us to be making public health determinations when we’re a public policy board is wild,” he said.
The political reaction to COVID included elected or public officials (many) with no public health experience or expertise who openly disdained credentialed health experts who challenged or contradicted their approved response. More than a few of those elected officials went out of their way to call the testimony or public statements of experts on epidemiology, virology, and even air quality misinformation.
It was a very political response to an alleged public health issue because nothing about what happened after the first few weeks in March of 2020 was anything but political. Public health had nothing to do with it, so prohibiting top-down mask mandates in their jurisdictions is a critical act of local governments.
They exist to keep power closer to the people to protect them from tyranny if they are willing or able. Sadly, most are neither.
But individuals, and even business owners, should be free to decide if they want to mask up and let consumers and employees choose whether or not to take their “business” there or elsewhere.
It will become apparent, very quickly, how the people feel when they are allowed to vote with their feet, and anyone who trumpets the notion of local control needs to accept that this applies to every political unit down to families and individuals. And that by passing any mandate, you are denying them that.

Every child who arrives into this world is a helpless infant at the mercy of others, not only to be fed, cleaned, and protected but also to be informed about the bewildering life we face. The parents, caretakers, and immediate family can teach the newborn only what they know and believe in themselves, which was handed down to them by the adults who raised them.
The development of a newborn in any family is influenced by many factors, among them how hands-on the parents are, how religious they are, and how they manage him to make him a good person, but also a person better than they are.
From its inception, Islam discovered the crucial secret of getting to the young mind early by adhering to the dictum: instruction in early childhood is akin to carving in a rock. Similarly goes the Jesuit saying: “Give me a child until he is seven, and I will give you the man.” The immense importance of getting early to the young mind is also emphasized by non-religious doctrines as diverse as the Freudian psychoanalytic theory and Watsonian behavioral psychology.
Thus, millions of infants annually end up in the care of people who themselves are imbued with a pathological Islamist belief system rooted in the mores and practices of the primitives of the Arabian Peninsula.
From very early on, the young child is indoctrinated in the belief that there is an omniscient, ever-vigilant Allah who observes everything a person does and even everything he contemplates. Nothing whatsoever escapes this omnipresent, all-knowing being. Allah keeps tabs and bestows incredibly desirable rewards if one behaves as told while dispensing unimaginably tortuous punishment if one strays.
The very young Muslim begins with questions at every step, with fears and hopes entangled with the need to survive and thrive. He is curious to know who he is. What is this world all about? What is he supposed to do, and how? Where is he headed? People die. Where do they go? And on and on. The information booths available to him in the fairground of life provide answers that may help relieve his innate existential anxiety. Here, the Islamic religion plays a critical role and holds great appeal. Muhammad’s religion offers a surefire answer for those willing to take it on faith.
These are precisely the kind of people Western countries, including the United States, have brought from the 7th century to 21st-century America and settled across the land without any consideration for the safety and security of the American people. What did they expect would happen once they rejected the West and declared jihad against all infidels? In no time at all, America, the greatest superpower on the planet, loses its power from within to these future jihadists, and out of fear of the racist label, Americans look the other way and remain silent.
Islam is a powerful magnet for the masses who are unable to deal with the uncertainties of life and death on their own. It is from this population, many already thoroughly indoctrinated from birth, that most die-hard jihadists emerge.
According to his religion, it is the bargain the jihadist makes. He surrenders totally to the religion of surrender in exchange for blanket security. Islam gives him all the answers he seeks for dealing with this world and promises him a lush and eternal paradise of Allah once he leaves it. It’s a bargain that some buy-in whole and some in part. Some refuse it and seek other means of dealing with their questions and unrelenting existential anxiety.
It is foolish to underestimate the dangers of Islamic mental manipulation. All Muslims share an Islamic cognitive repertoire with considerable variations. As with any population distribution, a significant majority forms the middle while minorities populate the extremes. Islamic apologists and many Muslims point to the middle as true Islam, thereby disassociating themselves from the two extremes and may even denounce those extremes as not being Muslims.
At one extreme are the nominal Muslims. These Muslims adhere loosely to the Islamic precepts and practices that ordinarily pose little threat to non-Muslims and may even reject some aspects of the religion.
At the other extreme are the die-hard fanatical jihadists, who present severe threats to non-Muslims, the so-called moderate Muslims (Muslims in name only), and the nominal Muslims.
Nothing is out of bounds to this extremist group in furthering its cause. Dissimulation, deception, and all manner of violence are their Quran-sanctioned tools. As part of their scheme, this evil group has adopted highly effective strategies for subjugating the West, its people, and its culture. In keeping with their supremacist racist cult, their god, Allah, is proclaimed the greatest god — Allah-o-Akbar. Yet, in English, one hears only the deceptive translation: God is great, and not the actual Arabic; Allah is the greatest.
History documents the pivotal role of small groups, even individuals, in precipitating monumentally important events. It is the energized, dedicated militant minority that often sparks movements and directs the course of human events. And it is the minority of Muslims, militant and highly motivated soldiers of Allah, are on the march to defeat the non-believing world and establish the Islamic caliphate.

About a decade ago, give or take, smart meter “upgrades” caught the attention of many. Some folks said this was all in preparation for throttling your energy use, typically when you needed it most, and they were right.
Then came smart appliances accessible via Bluetooth or WiFi; many said these are not conveniences but contrivances. If you hook everything in your home to the internet, the powers that be, licit or illicit, could control anything they wanted. From thermostats to stoves, fridges, and dishwashers to home security (including cameras), it’s all wired together—even your TV.
Feel free to decide whether that’s likely to pose a problem for you, but in the UK, ‘Ministers’ are talking about mandating smart appliances so the Government can better manage the electric grid they’ve wrecked with unreliable wind and solar. An effort by The State to force you to make their failed policy “work.”
Years from now, much the way NZ PM Chris Hipkins insists that getting the COVID vaccine was your choice (or you could be quarantined in an armed detainment camp), UK MPs will laugh over cigars and brandy about how you were not made to ration electricity. It was your choice to have Smart appliances they could control … or none.
As Jo Nova notes.
Are they your appliances or the state’s? If you don’t control the power switch you know the answer.
When they call something “smart” we know it’s stupid — and the mind-boggling complexity of central agencies switching on and off ovens and heaters across the country to “fit” with the weather is a dystopia we don’t need to have. Do you need 90 minutes to roast a chook, or 120? It depends on the wind strength in Scotland. If the kids can’t get to bed early, or you can’t wash their clothes, they can just miss the first hour of school right?
You paid for them with money the Government let you keep, so we know whose appliances they think they are. It is also the Government’s infrastructure (even though they make the utilities pay for it) and their electricity (because they allowed generators to tap it and sell it, which the government taxes).
It sounds increasingly like communism with Chinese Characteristics, which works well if your home security, baby monitor, or pet peeping cameras are wireless. Big Brother will be able to snoop on you while Alexa, Google, and Facebook listen, and if you try to stop them, they’ll turn off your fridge or lower your thermostat a few degrees too many in January.
So, how does the beginning of that look? A lot like this.
“ERCOT entered emergency operations tonight due to a drop in both operating reserves and frequency. By entering EEA 2, ERCOT was able to utilize additional reserve resources to protect the reliability of the grid. No power outages associated with the ERCOT power grid were necessary. The Weather Watch remains in effect through Sept. 8 due to continued higher temperatures, high demand, and the potential for lower reserves.
Over-reliance on wind power in Texas during a heat wave. The wind stopped blowing, as it often does, especially where it gets hot. Frantic providers begged homeowners and businesses to use less, or there would be blackouts. With a bit of motivation from “regulators” or ‘bureaucrats,” or the right sort of politicians, the Government could tap into networked home appliances and make adjustments for the good of the community. Or, better yet, in the name of public health or something.
Mark my words, if we stay on the current trajectory, not long from now that’ll just happen, and you won’t be able to do a damn thing about it.
I wonder what the fine will be for turning off your router, and will they send a Bearcat and a SWAT team to your home to turn it back on?
Both?

Alejandro Mayorkas is supposed to be our Secretary of Homeland Security. By his title, you would think his job might be to keep illegal aliens out of our country, but not the inept Secretary. He is now offering the six million illegals who have crossed our borders during the Biden Presidency a work permit.
By their title, these people are in our country under illegal terms, but Mayorkas has told them to come on in, he would give them work permits, and the kicker assured them he would find them a job. Our Homeland Security Department is now a job placement agency for law-breaking non-citizens who should not have been allowed into the United States. Sometimes, I feel like a fiction writer, but you cannot make this stuff up.
Now, I cannot call these people asylum seekers; if they were, they would have applied for asylum in the first country they entered when they left their homeland. They did not because these people are not oppressed or threatened in the over 150 countries they have come from. They want to come to America, and a bogus asylum claim is their ticket. Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas are just the ticket-takers at what used to be our Southern Border.
There are currently six million Americans and hundreds of thousands of people who have given up and fallen off the list of unemployed. Mayorkas has not promised to place any of these Americans in paying jobs, but he has the illegals. These illegals have registered with that government to seek asylum. The backlog for these people to have a hearing is now three years. These people will be floating around the country, but now with a paying job, for years before they know if they can stay or be returned to their homeland. Does anyone think for a minute that any of these people will be deported? Of course not. They are now permanent inhabitants of America and overloading our social services, housing, and schools. They will drive down the wages of low-skilled labor and compete with Americans for a job. They will have the advantage here because they are proud customers of the Mayorkas Employment Agency. This insanity needs to stop.
The debacle situation at our Border is impacting every state in our union, and even Blue states are criticizing Joe Biden’s flawed immigration process. New York Mayor Adams is throwing his fury at the “Madman Governor” of Texas but is furious at Joe Biden. On Thursday, he falsely claimed he had turned the city around in his short term, but the influx of illegals is destroying his city. He says the city has been taking in over 10,000 illegals per month, and 21,000 non-English speaking students showed up at New York schools this week. Washington (Biden) is telling New York it is the teacher’s responsibility to bridge the language gap.
This action by Mayorkas will be tested in the courts, but he has all but assured his impeachment. He may be out of office before he ever has to place an illegal alien in their new job at McDonalds or Burger King.

Parental control, along with teachers, have long been victims of “government force” used as tools to target our children minds with anti-America, bureaucratic curriculums created by the U.S. Department of Education and UNESCO.
The Dangers of K-12 Public Education will be exposed by Shawn McBreairty at the Marion Gerrish Community Center, 39 West Broadway in Derry, NH on September 28th, 2023 – 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
A great book that challenges government schools called “Crimes Of The Educators” co-authored by Alex Newman and Sam Blumenfeld, reinforces McBreairty’s facts that back up witty cultural critic Henry L. Mencken’s prophetic statement (1880-1926):
“The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality.
We want to thank Russ Payne for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

McBreairty has appeared on Tucker Carlson, the Ingrahm Angle, and Steve Bannon’s War Room, among many other TV and radio engagements. And look for his podcast called the “Maine Source of Truth.” He’ll be covering many of the crimes of the educational establishment, such as hyper-sexualization grooming in the classroom and CRT. Do they think parents are so naive that these will replace Godly – family disciplines, and core values needed to educate?

I confess that the title is a bit hyperbolic only in that it will set a certain set of individuals who are themselves election deniers in denial (Democrats) into a rage, and that’s never a bad thing. But it’s true. Joe Biden is a crook and a thief, and it’s not just money or public office.
Related: Candidate Joe Biden Caught Plagiarizing Again and Again and Again
He is notorious for lying (sometimes referred to as embellishment when it is a Democrat) as well as lifting the work of greater men and women and claiming it (always accidentally and without malice) as his own. Until 2020 it was one of many flaws that left Joe Biden in a different basement with his own primary voters. He never managed more than 4% of their support prior to the great awakening.
Sadly, much like Biden, it was all bullsh!t. The man has committed more crimes of various sorts than perhaps any elected official in recent memory (perhaps only becasue the Clintons are better at choosing associates who like to commit suicide). One of which is plagiarism, an academic crime, one also of copyright violation, bad form, and poor judgment.
Not the well-known incidents chronicled here, nor the more recent ones recounted here, but a new one.
“Cite-checking involves formatting case citations under highly prescribed rules and searching Westlaw to make sure the cases haven’t been overruled or superseded,” Severino explained. “Because I was interested in the article’s topic (civil rights), I read a bunch of the cited cases all the way through.”
Severino said that at this point, he noticed that “a certain turn of phrase” in one of the opinions he was reading sounded “oddly familiar.”
“So, I turned back to Biden’s article, and there it was,” he said. “He had lifted language straight out of a [Supreme Court] opinion, changed a couple words, and called them his own. There were no quote marks and no footnote or anything else attributing the court as the source.”
“I then read the piece through again, and multiple other phrases sounded familiar,” he continued. “Turns out they, too, were plagiarized from opinions. I believe this merited rejecting the article outright for plagiarism, so I emailed the lead editor and presented the indisputable proof.”
The Harvard Journal on Legislation’s editors “covered for Biden,” according to Severino.
People have been covering for Joe Biden for 50 years, and we can’t help but wonder what else has managed to slip past or been massaged for then-Senator, later VP, and now President* Biden. You don’t suppose any of that was in Jonathan Alan’s latest Biden book, ‘Luckey.’ You’d think it might be but sales of the thing have been, much like the President’s* head, a bit soft.
The author of Joe Biden’s book “Lucky” sold so few copies that he did not even tour with it. Recent books about Joe Biden and his wife have failed to sell at all.
Jonathan Alan, the author of “Lucky” how Joe Biden won (stole) the 2020 election was only able to sell 10,000 books and skipped his tour.
Yet, they want us to believe this groper got 81 million votes!
Sorry, we’re still not buying it.
And neither is anyone else, the book, I mean. That other thing (the election) is still up for debate, though not open for it. The Left has done such a bang-up job ensuring that, much like racism, sexism, tokenism, elitism, and hypocrisy (to name but a few), election denying is something only they are allowed to do—just one more example of them covering for Joe Biden.

Young girls are growing up in a time where love and beauty are confused for sexual gratification. Rather than dream of their future husband and four children, they post videos dancing to songs about orgies. These girls have no idea what the lyrics mean, but all their favorite people are participating, so they do, too.
It is the same when puberty hits like a ton of bricks.
Overnight, they notice that boys and men change how they look at them. These girls are confused and nervous about the new attention and will naturally look for other women as role models. It’s easier to navigate the new playing field when you have virtuous women around you to guide your decisions or even celebrities who hold themselves to a certain standard in public that can be emulated. That’s not what is happening anymore.

With no female guidelines to follow, these girls will look to men. They’ll watch what men find funny, attractive, repulsive, etc., and use the data to model themselves as a suitable mate. Unfortunately, modern men have just as little to offer these girls as their counterparts. What are these girls to think other than that men find slutty women attractive after witnessing them spend their days lusting after Instagram models, subscribing to OnlyFans accounts, and consuming copious amounts of porn?
We should ask ourselves why we see the women being shamed but not the men.
This is a problem.
— The Mrs (@igarglewithfire) September 4, 2023
Our oversexualized society has warped the idea of feminine sexuality. The vapid hook-up culture is constantly pushed over love and marriage, leading women to believe that casual sex has no consequences. Almost no mainstream voices tell them there is another way to live that doesn’t involve sexualizing themselves for the enjoyment of strangers. Movies, music, and influencers are all selling women the same narrative – saving yourself for marriage is not a realistic goal. (ROOKE: Selfish Delusions About Purity Lead Men And Women Down A Lonely Rabbit Hole)
Not only are women incapable of containing their sexual urges, but men would never date a virgin even if they were. Instead, they encourage women to have sex with every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the bedroom until they find the right fit. Then, when men are done consuming these women like an all-you-can-eat buffet, society laughs and calls them used.
The cycle must stop. The women led into porn and OnlyFans don’t need to be mocked or denigrated. They need to be redeemed. Society, as a whole, needs to be “slut” shamed into caring about how we hold ourselves around the next generation of women. If not, we risk allowing them to join the others who have been oversexed and unloved.
There is an opportunity to show young girls that a different life is available to them. Life does not have to be marred by one-night stands. Good and honorable men are out there looking for the same in a wife.
We can teach them to be virtuous women by demanding high standards in our approach to sex and marriage — and it starts with simple things, like how we dress.

The Foundation for Individual Rights In Education has released its latest College Free Speech Rankings, and much attention is being paid to Harvard. It is, after all, Harvard. Out of 248 schools, it came in dead last for free speech, but Dartmouth College wasn’t much better.
The heart of Hanover notched an unrespectable 240th (out of 248).
A quote from one student sums it up.
“there is no room for anything that doesn’t fall into the ‘hyperliberal’ category and people are not willing to see or understand other people’s perspectives.” – Class of 2025
This is not new or unexpected, but it is tragic. Dartmouth is an elite school and, as such, should honor the foundations of education, including debate. Suppose the only opinions anyone can express on either side of an issue (without fear) are the same. In that case, your graduates will be one-dimensional and ill-prepared for the real world.
Near the opposite end of the FIRE rankings is the University of New Hampshire. FIRE rated them at #72, making it a slightly more tolerable campus environment for opposing opinions, but not really. While UNH gets points for not going out of its way to suppress or oppress center-right opinion, it sounds like the student body and staff are allowed to do it anyway.
“In the past I was discriminated against by other students for having stickers on my laptop that expressed certain political ideologies. I was purposefully excluded from activities that occurred within class based on these stickers.” – Class of 2023
I’ve had past issues with FIRE’s favorable ranking for UNH, but likely because of things they are not measuring in their ranking. You have to choose what matters that can be measured across the board, so I don’t fault them for that – even though I think they have given UNH better grades than it deserved.
As for Dartmouth, they still have some work to do if they’d like to be the least tolerant campus in America regarding free speech. It shouldn’t be that hard. Hanover is filled with narrow-minded, intolerant leftists, and I feel confident they can get there from here.

Many people have protected Hunter Biden, but it appears that the walls around the infamous First Son may be crashing to the ground. Hunter has had his Dad, the Senator, Vice President, and President, covering for the depravities of the Son. With what we knew and are now learning about Joe Biden, the Son has not fallen far from the tree.
Whether his years of drug use, pornography production, womanizing, denouncing his illegitimate daughter in Arkansas, his tax issues, or his illegal gun possession, he has always had his Father and the system to keep him from accountability. When the Arkansas court was looking to serve papers on Hunter for a paternity suit involving his ex-girlfriend and their daughter, Hunter hid in the White House for weeks to avoid being served.
When he did not pay taxes on millions of dollars of income for two years, he blamed it on the illness of his drug use. He had the help of the IRS, the Justice Department, and a friendly special prosecutor to drag the tax case past the statute of limitations. Hunter thought he had escaped the Federal gun charge last month when his plea deal fell apart. He had tried to get immunity for any future charges as part of the deal. A Federal judge said no way. Hunter Biden is now looking at being indicted on the gun charges by the end of September. And the long-told story by Hunter of one gun has actually been proven to be two illegal handguns. The penalty for his crimes could amount to ten years in prison.
Weiss, who crafted the original plea deal, has done a 180 and is now pressing the case against Hunter. Many see these actions as an effort to protect the President at the expense of Hunter. Hunter may become a sacrificial lamb in this sordid case of Biden corruption. Will Hunter play along or show his true colors and turn on “The Big Guy?” Time will tell, but maybe this is all part of a master plan by the Democrats to solve the issue of Biden’s age and mental health. It could be that the 61% of people who do not want to see a Biden second term are finally being heard, and a Hunter Biden conviction on a gun charge could end the team of Biden and Harris for 2024.
In addition to Hunter, two other lambs may be brought to the sacrificial table. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas may also fall on the sword for Joe Biden. Both men have been proven to be a part of the Hunter Biden escape from justice. After decades of uselessness, Hunter may now serve a purpose, but only to his Father, The Big Guy. Hunter has to go down for this crime, or the Democrats will never be able to live it down. This scenario is a test for two of their biggest causes: gun control and equal use of the law. Maybe we can look forward to some of Hunter Biden’s best work from behind bars. Prison porn and lousy art are two of prison’s best products.

There are currently two storms making their way across the Atlantic. Lee (currently a CAT 5 hurricane) and Margot (Tropical Storm). The estimated track for Margo suggests she will wander north away from land, but Lee is headed straight for us.
NOAA has indicated that the continued track of this storm is unclear, and it is too early to project, but it is expected to slow down.
I’m no hurricane forecaster, but Lee looks like he’s headed straight for Georgia and South Carolina. But that’s not guaranteed. The storm could suddenly kick north or south and fool around for a bit before deciding where to go.
Whatever happens, stay tuned for the regularly scheduled climate hysteria. There’s no stopping that.

Following up on my essay about depopulation is this bit of scholarship:
CHUDOV highlights the fantastic scholarship by Rintrah Radagast as it relates to IgG4 immune tolerance ‘class-switch’; can immune tolerance (Irrgang’s study) explain excess mortality tied to boosters? (substack.com)
Remember the Cleveland Clinic study that found the more Jabs you take, the more often you catch it. (And fascinating how many articles were up attempting to debunk this one; again – never believe anything until it’s been officially denied.) And more:
Study: Boosted People Slowest to Clear COVID-19 (igor-chudov.com)
All fairly technical but they all point to the same thing: the more Jabs you get, the more your immune system – ignoring all the other deleterious effects the Jab has on the immune system – gets trained to ignore the spike protein. That’s double-plus ungood if that spike protein is attached to a live, wants-to-reproduce virus.

What’s fascinating to me in this collection is the diversity of news stations all saying the precise same thing. To the word. I see CBS, ABC, Fox… surely NBC and others are there too.
If you want to know the truth about what’s happening in the world today, read widely, compare reports, and distrust sources that merely echo each other and parrot the “party line”. Try to find those with a genuinely independent view of the situation, compare and contrast them to each other, and you’ll be much more likely to understand the situation.
I agree. The problem is that this takes time. A lot of time, and checking of notes and correlation.

So Tucker Carlson recently interviewed a man who claims to have done crack-cocaine and had sex with Obama back in 1999. Here’s the interview. Make your own judgment. And an even more important thread, in my opinion, from Kyle Becker. Obama was a “Manchurian candidate” … he adopted Communism willingly and his mission was to bring down the American system. Americans, however, by-and-large refuse to accept this (like some in the NHGOP refuse to accept that New Hampshire is a Blue State and how New Hampshire became a Blue State (because that would mean it will take decades of hard work to turn the ship around)) and refuse to accept how successful Obama has been.

While the Jab had scores of side effects, memory loss (apart from that which happens with incapacitation or death) was not one of them. Oh, and there’s that internet thing. COVID-19 “vaccines’ were mandated all over New Zealand. They were so enthusiastic about getting everyone jabbed that Chris Hipkins (himself) publicly stated that the government thought it so important that it would look for people who’d not been vaccinated to make sure they’d heard about how great it was and then get it, or else.

COVID-19 put the Zeal in New Zealand. They were earnest, eager, fervent fanatics. The government removed the requirement for a warrant to enter or search vehicles or premises in the name of public health, something New Hampshire’s dear leader, Gov. Sununu, did here in New Hampshire (not sure which came first, the Sununu or the New Zealand). The nice folks in NZ also had detainee centers and confinement facilities for the unvaccinated (they called it quarantine) and then ordered 500 members of their defense force to secure those areas so that no one would voluntarily sneak in (what other purpose could they have /snark!?).
None of which did any actual good, anyway. But according to Hipkins, it was always your choice (as in, you chose to be quarantined under armed guard?).
Like I said, gaslighting a**hole who will likely clarify his remarks at some point becasue we misunderstood what the word mandate means. Let me guess: it’s a nickname for a testicle? You were actually lobbing a gender slur about to lighten the mood in the detention centers and not insisting everyone receive an experimental pharmaceutical product with inadequate knowledge of its ingredients or side effects.
You could choose to get that vaccine or have all your liberties revoked—your choice.
Well, you got one thing right. Those were challenging times for the people.

If you’re a regular consumer of mainstream news you will have noticed this past year has seen a sharp uptick in talk of alien craft littering the skies of the world, especially the western world. Just this past month the United States congress held committee meetings to hear the testimony of government personnel, including military aircraft pilots, who offer detailed accounts of their observations.
Testimonies include seeing orbicular craft approach and turn at speeds that defy the laws of physics as we know it. Some accounts having seen the craft speed into the ocean and disappear with nary a ripple. A growing body of personnel claiming to have suffered irreparable brain damage from close encounters has found its way into our court system.
What is going on? Are we really being visited by beings from elsewhere in our galaxy or the universe?
Despite the overwhelming scientific evidence that Earth is likely the only planet in the observable universe able to support human life, the vastness of the cosmos leaves room for the possibility we aren’t alone. As of late, the United States government has gotten a sudden crisis of conscience and decided to come clean with the people after decades of tightly guarded secrecy in the area of alien encounters. Or has it?
Area 51 is one of the most guarded and tightly controlled military bases in the world. Rumors have floated over the years that it warehouses alien spacecraft, alien bodies, and an underground network of tunnels that resemble a subterranean city where top secret meetings take place among visitors from another galaxy or even dimension. A small cadre of military and government personnel are allowed to communicate with these “superior” beings and the secret consensus is the world is not ready to meet them as we are poorly evolved and need a spiritual upgrade to handle both their presence and technology.
Who knows really? The level of security surrounding Area 51 is so severe the signs outside the base say you will be shot on sight if you breach the perimeter. You will be met by armed guards if you so much as disturb the surrounding terra firma within a few miles. Whatever is going on there is deadly serious to the powers who oversee our government.
Enter Serge Monast. Mr. Monast was a Canadian born investigative journalist, poet and essayist now famous for publishing a book titled “Project Blue Beam”. In the early 1990s he started writing on the theme of the New World Order and conspiracies hatched by secret societies. Back then his theories sounded crazy. His story ends tragically when his children are taken from him by Canadian authorities claiming he was abusing them by keeping them out of government schools. He was also accused of involvement in “networks of prohibited information”. Shortly after they are taken he is jailed then dies suddenly of a heart attack after being released, despite having no history of heart problems. He left behind a wife and two children. He was 51 years old when he passed.
Eerily his co-investigator of these government exposes dies of a heart attack within a week. He too had no history of heart problems.
What is Project Blue Beam?
Monast tells us it’s a four phase operation intended to move the world to accepting a new one world religion that is vital to achieving a new world order. The culmination of which includes a leader he says will be the Anti-Christ.
Phase one sees “hoax” natural disasters, such as earthquakes, accompanied by hoax discoveries that unearth new archaeological finds revealing our knowledge of current religions to be erroneous or misunderstood. These “proofs” are intended to call Christianity and Islam in particular into question while pointing us to this new spiritual enlightenment.
Phase two involves the “big space show in the sky”, meaning sudden and pervasive encounters with alien space craft. Monast’s claim is they are “three dimensional holograms” accompanied by sounds and laser projections made possible by using the “sodium layer” in the atmosphere about 60 miles above the earth’s surface. This may explain why these craft appear to defy the laws of physics – because they aren’t physical. Included in this claim he explains the Soviets had developed super computers, essentially A.I., where they can program the internet to receive the knowledge of the new world order “messiah”.
A darker capability he says they’ve developed is being able project and induce suicidal thoughts into people’s brains. Though once the stuff of 90’s comedies like “Real Genius”, Monast says this is critical to shaping the behaviors of people around the world. His claim is they can personalize these attacks by targeting and individual’s unique frequency using a variety of ELF, VLF and LF waves. This phase three method will allow the controllers to send God-like messages to people intended to deceive them into hearing a voice of “God” convincing them it is time to embrace this new spiritual enlightenment.
Rather than the theoretical ramblings of a mad-scientist follower Monast provides receipts. He cites multiple U.S. Defense Department publications: ‘The Electromagnetic Spectrum and Low Intensity Conflict,’ by Captain Paul E. Tyler, Medical Commandant, U.S. Navy; ‘Low Intensity Conflict and Modern Technology Edict,’ by Lt. Col. David G. Dean, USAF. Apparently a Gen. Leonard Perez was involved with major defense contractor Loral Electro-Optical System out of Pasadena, CA in actually producing this capability.
In addition to the ability to control minds he says the economies of the world will be forced into a collapse around the time paper money is moving toward a digital currency. This collapse will be the perfect pretext to establishing one, such as the CBDC that is currently being tested by the Federal Reserve. This will give them the ability to control movement and resources, which he believes is the ultimate end-game.
Phase four may be the most difficult to believe because it’s the most difficult to pull off. Monast states the United Nations will be behind a false attack from these aliens who target major cities around the world. This draws nations to activate nuclear warfare, which then leads to a disarmament by the U.N. This will be coupled by a false rapture event. What is the rapture? The rapture is known to Christians as the moment when Christ removes His church from the earth prior to the great tribulation period of seven years whereby He judges those who remain for having rejected His offer of salvation.
Of note, the rapture has become a popular teaching over the past one hundred or so years however it is hotly disputed among the faithful with many saying it’s only recently been taught. Coupled with Monast’s theory and it causes one to wonder if the rapture wasn’t introduced for this very end-times event reason. Who knows?
What we do know is this investigative journalist was making claims about things in the early 90s that weren’t even on the horizon, yet all now suddenly emerging around the same time:
Surely Serge Monast sounded like a crank to most of the people who bothered to entertain his theories back in the 80s and 90s. However, thirty years later are his detractors looking like the foolishly naïve?
“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 NIV
