Dangerous Acronyms: DEIJ, BLM, ESG, FBI, CIA, and ETC

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-02-13 11:30 +0000

They seem so harmless. After all, how dangerous can a group of letters be? Well, these acronyms represent some of the most radical political groups or corrupted intelligence agencies that are focused on changing the mindset of Americans and the course of America.

The entities that hide behind their moniker do not like America and what she stands for and will transform America if left unchecked.

Over 900 known hate groups operate in nearly every state in our Union. Many of these groups are nothing more than gangs with a mission of violence in the name of the people they follow or despise. We could go back to the KKK or The Weather Underground, but the organized groups of today are more focused on political change than violence.

Unfortunately, two agencies of the government have gone rogue and now target sectors of our population on behalf of politicians.

The FBI has been working on derailing Donald Trump for years and is used by the DOJ to harass parents who disagree with Woke policies of school boards. This week, it was uncovered that the FBI labeled certain Catholics as domestic terrorists. Who could forget the IRS and Lois Lerner targeting Tea Party groups to eliminate their threat to Democrat candidates? Lerner is retired with a full government pension. It seems nobody who goes off the grid in government ever faces accountability.

Black Lives Matter (BLM) was born out of the George Floyd killing in Minnesota. The group became instantly powerful, calling for reparations, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) in every corner of American life. Schools, local and state governments, private companies, and sports leagues were pressured to buy into the philosophy or be destroyed. BLM was embraced by big cities like Washington, New York, and Los Angeles, which renamed streets and painted BLM logos on main roads.

They got members elected to office or placed on school boards. They had a two-year run, and money flowed in from individuals and corporations until it was found that a few of the organizers were getting rich by siphoning donations into their personal accounts. They proved to be nothing more than a money laundering operation, but the damage is done. Their members and philosophies are entrenched in government positions.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is more subtle but just as powerful. They are determined to push their thinking onto Americans of every age group. These movements began brewing in the background during the Obama administration. They are patient but committed to influencing our future. ESG is a dangerous collaboration of Government, Industry, and Finance that promotes clean energy and equity. Some of the biggest banks, pension funds, tech companies, insurance, investment companies, and globalist institutions make up this Cabral that exerts intense pressure on companies to yield to their beliefs or pay the consequences. Those consequences may be more costly financing, manipulation of stock value, negative publicity, or increased regulations. This Cabral has too much power for a healthy country and capitalist economy.

People need to be educated about the dangers of ESG and urged to use the power of their dollars to impact this movement and the companies they support. People need to be advised to ask tough questions of their investment advisors to know where their money is invested. Finally, people need to be cognizant of where they are spending their dollars. These movements can be defeated. But it will take knowledge, work, and sacrifice from all Americans.

Sell Your House for Cash: Important Things to Know

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-02-13 10:30 +0000

The majority of house sellers are unaware of several crucial aspects of home selling. This has led some people to unnecessarily spend money on the home they plan to sell, lengthening the selling process and making it more costly.

Knowing these crucial details can help you sell your house for cash without any fuss. Let’s investigate them.

1. Any Condition Is Acceptable When You Sell Your House for Cash

Due to an urgent need to move, financial reasons, or simply a desire for an easier sale process, some homeowners wish to sell their houses off for cash. Many are unnecessarily concerned that they will either have to renovate the entire property or fix some items as they would with a traditional sale. In this instance, a cash home buyer is prepared to purchase the property in its current state. Home Flippers is a good example of a reputable business that buys houses in cash in any condition. These businesses are eager and ready to buy your property in any condition for its market worth.

2. Any Kind of Home Is Eligible

Any type of house may be sold, which is something to keep in mind anytime you want to sell your house for cash. You may sell any kind of house for cash, whether it is a detached building, a rowhouse, an old building, a new building, or something else. A cash buyer business in particular will purchase any type of house regardless of the condition or type. A cash house-buying company has this benefit over a private home buyer. In most situations, an individual house buyer wishes to reside in the house. As a result, they are more likely to purchase a brand-new or contemporary home.

3. No Geographical Barriers When You Sell Your House for Cash

When you want to sell your house for cash, it does not matter where you plan to put it on the market. However, some real estate properties are pricey while others are cheap. This significantly depends on whether the home is located in an urban or rural region. Prices might differ even in metropolitan regions owing to a number of variables. However, no matter where your house is located, a cash buyer company can always be found if you want to sell your house for cash.

Conclusion

The information covered in this article is applicable to all cash buyer businesses and all who want to sell houses for cash worldwide. Therefore, do not hesitate to sell your house for cash if doing so meets your needs. Then you will have the finances and flexibility to take the next step. Contact a reputable house cash buyer company to get started.

Notable Quote – The Purpose of Life is NOT to be Spineless

Granite Grok - Mon, 2023-02-13 02:30 +0000

Emphasis mine:

You see, son, the world is full of people who mistake passion for extremism, confidence for arrogance and drive for selfishness and ambition. No matter who you are or what you do, you will encounter this over and over again.

And all three of those attributes are being attacked by Progressives. I certainly saw that “drive” (aka, “self-interest,” that we call motivation) over at Treehugger time after time again. Think: you are NOT allowed to be better than anyone else – the striving to be part of the least common denominator.

It is not their fault. Most people, me included, have been trained to fit in. The very genes we carry have shaped us to fear stepping outside the group. As your grandmother used to say to me when I was a little boy:

“If you spit society in the face, society will wipe it off and carry on. If society spits you in the face, you’ll drown.”

And your grandmother was right — if you want to live a comfortable life this is good advice. Fit in, don’t ask too many questions and keep your head down.

But son, if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that comfort is overrated. You did not come into this world to consume as much food, pleasure and entertainment as you can. A fulfilling life is one of purpose and the meaning of your life is to identify that purpose and pursue it with every fibre of your being.

Most people never get there. They don’t even try. Don’t blame them – no one ever told them that giving up on their dreams was a recipe for misery. As little kids, they were trained to do what they were told, to think how others told them to think and to avoid standing out at all costs.

-Konstantin Kisin (“We Do Not Kneel – A Letter To My Newborn Son“)

Unless you are one of those very few, striving to be the best is hard and long-term. It can also be miserable (you probably will fail – sometimes a number of times) and lonely at times (people may ridicule you, and then if you do become successful, envious people will start to taunt you because they know they can’t look at themselves in the mirror so as to avoid what they would see – failure of trying).

Sometimes, achieving success is the purpose, some would say. Me?

Just working to be the best is the reward in and of itself. NO, Life doesn’t reward you simply because you tried your hardest – many have failed, even after putting in your best, without reaching “their” Brass Ring. What most don’t realize is that’s not the purpose. Just working hard to be the best makes you better than you were before you started.

And that’s the Purpose – simply to be better than you were.

Beyond The SoundBite Lecture Series – Vivek Ramaswamy Part 4 and Q & A …

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 23:30 +0000

Part 1 here. Parts 2 & 3 here.  This post is the conclusion of Vivek’s address to the assembled crowd (standing room only). Very well received and I’ll be reaching out to him for some additional information.

Part 4:

He also had a long Question and Answer time after sitting in the provided chairs for both he and Chris Ager.

Q&A 1:

Q&A 2:

Given that he had mentioned a number of “Progressive / Woke” luminaries, as people were starting to leave St. A’s Institute of Politics, I had the chance to ask Vivek who he thought were the equivalent shining lights on the Right that people should read to get a better grounding:



I’d also quickly throw in Thomas Sowell, the late Walter E. Williams, and Victor Davis Hanson.

Vermont Passes Bill to Make The State a Sanctuary For Death and Dismemberment

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 22:00 +0000

Vermont is already a safe space for killing yourself. It approved a constitutional amendment securing the right to reproductive freedom, by which they meant abortion. And now they are looking to become a sanctuary for death and dismemberment.

 

H. 89, An Act Relating to Civil and Criminal Procedures Concerning Legally Protected Health Care Activity, seeks to protect individuals providing or seeking reproductive or transgender healthcare in Vermont from abusive civil or criminal litigation arising from another state. H. 89 also provides address confidentiality protections for providers and seekers of reproductive and transgender healthcare and increases penalties for threatening or using force against those providing or obtaining such legally protected care.

 

If you want to sneak into the Death and Dismemberment State to get hormone therapies that might kill your kids or have something you were born with removed, they will protect your privacy (which I just assumed was covered under HIPAA, but after the COVID thing … who can you trust?

And if, as is increasingly likely, the dismemberment results in you wanting to end your life months or years later, you can go “back” to Vermont and do that without even going there.

HR 89 is not yet law. Sometimes Republican Gov. Phil Scott should object and veto it even though the legislature has veto-proof majorities. Why? It is white supremacy.

 

[Gender-affirming surgery] has long been practiced under the influence of a binary bias [that] reinforces white, western ideals about gender identity and expression, further impacting care sought by BIPOC gender diverse individuals who may come from a lineage of more expansive understandings of gender…

We continue to reinforce white ideals of what it means to be masculine/feminine which continues the ‘othering’ of those impacted by colonialism and white supremacy.

 

And just like that, Vermont Dems are a bunch of racists. But we knew that.

South Dakota Bans Puberty Blockers and Trans-Surgery on Minors

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 20:30 +0000

The South Dakota legislature has passed a bill that would make it illegal to perform gender “affirming” surgery or prescribe puberty blockers to minors in the state.

 

The bill, which was passed in a vote of 30–4, would also force health care professionals who violate it to lose their licenses and be sued. The measure will now go to the desk of Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican, who has indicated she will sign the bill into law.

House Bill 1080 aims to restrict medical professionals from providing certain medical interventions to minors if the aim is to alter the appearance or validate the perception of the minor’s gender identity when it is inconsistent with their biological sex.

The bill defines “sex” as the biological indicators of male and female as determined by chromosomes, hormones, gonads, and genitalia present at birth.

 

 

Some exceptions allow treatments already in progress to continue and for those diagnosed as born “with a medically proven disorder of sexual development,” but the overriding rule limits, reduces, or prohibits chemical interventions on minors that delay normal puberty. Ignoring the law could result in losing the right to practice medicine in the state.

Once a person reaches the age of majority, they are free to pursue legal treatments at their discretion, but there is a high probability that they will have (literally) grown out of it. Assuming the Transtasi public education system hasn’t waterboarded them with allusions of discrimination to the point that they’ve killed themselves.

Governor Noem has said she would sign the bill into law when it reaches her desk.

A NH Commuter Rail Question: Should Paul Revere have taken the T to Lexington (or Nashua)?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 19:00 +0000

When considering commuter rail in New Hampshire, here’s a thought experiment that offers a great place to start. Should the Massachusetts Bay Colony have built commuter rail in Revolutionary-era Boston?

Assuming the technology had been available, would this have made any sense?

We can get to an answer by looking at the primary obstacle to building a successful commuter rail line in New Hampshire today. 

Any debate about commuter rail has to begin with basic demographic data because population density is the key to successful commuter rail service.

The general rule for light rail is that cities need a population density of about 10,000 people per square mile to generate enough riders to make rail a viable alternative to automobiles. (See here and here.)

“The performance of a rail or BRT [bus rapid transit] line is directly related to the surrounding densities,” writes author Christof Spieler. “For example, the most successful light-rail systems in the United States—San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle, Newark, Jersey City, Buffalo, and Houston—serve large areas of over 10,000 people per square mile.

“Put transit in densely populated places. [emphasis in original] The fundamental math of density leads to an obvious rule: put transit where the people are. Successful transit needs to go where population densities are highest.”

Some cities outside of the United States have commuter rail and overall densities well below 10,000 people per square mile. But they tend to be large metropolitan areas with compact, walkable, dense downtown areas. 

For example, looking at the city as a whole, Calgary is roughly as dense as Manchester. Calgary’s density is 3,442 people per square mile, while Manchester’s is 3,496 per square mile. Calgary has light rail and a street railway. But Calgary is also a city of more than 1 million with a dense downtown of about 7,778 people per square mile. It’s the fifth densest downtown in Canada. 

Manchester doesn’t have a single zip code with a density of even 4,000 people per square mile. 

Nashua’s population density is only 2,961.7 people per square mile.

Commuter rail boosters seem to believe that Nashua, Manchester and Lowell, Mass., can all support rail because they’re fairly close in population. Nashua has about 91,000 people, while Manchester and Lowell have about 115,000 people each.

But these totals mask huge variations in density.

Lowell’s population density is 8,489.8 people per square mile, even denser than downtown Calgary. That makes it much more hospitable to light rail than Manchester or Nashua. 

Boston’s population density, by comparison, is 13,967.7 people per square mile.

And that gets us back to our question about colonial Boston. 

In The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams, author Stacy Schiff notes that Adams lived in a Boston that spanned four square miles, with a population of 16,000. (Boston had about 16,000 people from the 1740s through the 1780s.) That’s 4,000 people per square mile, which makes colonial Boston denser than present-day Manchester

Few would argue that commuter rail would make sense in colonial Boston. But lots of people argue that commuter rail makes sense in Nashua and Manchester, which are much less densely populated than colonial Boston was. 

The hard reality is that no municipality in New Hampshire is close to boasting a population density anywhere near the level needed to support successful commuter rail. And that will be true for a very long time. 

U.S. Census data put Manchester’s population density at 3,310 per square mile in 2010. In the decade from 2010-2020, the city’s density grew by just 186 people per square mile. 

At that rate, Manchester will reach 10,000 people per square mile in 350 years.

If the city’s growth rate somehow doubled, it would still take 125 years to get to 10,000 people per square mile.

Building, or even preparing to build, a commuter rail line now makes about as much sense as telling Paul Revere to take the T to Lexington. 

(By the way, it took Revere about an hour to get to Lexington from Charlestown by horse. Today it takes about half an hour by car. By bus? About two hours.)

Survival Sunday – PREP Edition

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 17:30 +0000

First, I am merely an “enlightened amateur”.  Please vet & check on your own.  Caveat emptor.  Consider these to be priming the pump for your own investigations.  I know this is a long post; I am attempting to put out a lot of information as a resource.  Read or skip sections depending on your interests.

Second, I fear spicy time is very close, but even a month of food, water, etc., puts you well ahead of most of the sheeple.  IMHO, set your minimum sights on a three-month period.

Third, two things will be critical for having the best chance of making it through:

  1. Mentality: first and foremost in survival is having a flexible mentality and cultivating the ability to adapt. Vanity has no place in survival.
  2. Develop a meatspace network of people that are likeminded: cultivate your community ties and build alliances with neighbors (note: don’t babble about the Jab or globalists or depopulation, or start pointing political fingers when doing this)… and remember, the first rule of PREP CLUB is that there is no prep club.

And please follow both me, Nitzakhon, on Gab… as well as my blog host Granite Grok and also on Telegram Tommy Robinson Official plus his Urban Scoop site.  And don’t forget posts sometimes get cloned on American Reveille as well, which is a good site to check out in general.

FYI, here’s a link to the companion Survival Sunday – SITREP Edition.

And a hat trick of prior essays of mine:

Unsettling Connections – Liberty’s Torch (libertystorch.info) (bolding in original):

And notice the spin, saying the common good is the highest priority and a fundamental American value.

No.

Either the individual is sovereign or The State is.  And if The State is the highest good, then that is a functional definition of Socialism over Individualism. And while individuals can, voluntarily, subsume their interests to the collective, the key word to this is voluntary.

I never joined a debate club in high school or college because I knew I’d have to learn and then argue for a side that I didn’t agree with.  What a loss.

Why You Need To Hide Your Harvested Rainwater – Ask a Prepper

I would never condone the violation of any laws or regulations outside an SHTF situation.

However, that being said, many preppers will still harvest rainwater knowing that they are in violation of local or state laws and regulations.

These people will definitely want to conceal these activities from the view of anyone walking by.

It would also be a good idea to hide your barrels or tanks from aerial surveillance as well. Local governments may use drones to check the backyards of people they suspect to be in violation of any rainwater collection laws.

I suspect a LOT of stuff that’s illegal will suddenly be on the table in a SHTF situation.

Evil Must Be Confronted! We Can’t Wish It Away!

Maybe I am just ahead of my time. I’ll never forget many, many years ago at one of my first Tea Party meetings when the leaders at the time asked me my ideas for fixing our “government”. The look on their faces, the utter shock, when I stated that there was no voting our way of this mess, was a little surprising to me. But the utter horror you could see when I said we need to kill every last communist in this world, It’s the only way to solve our issues, was telling.

I’m meant to fight this evil. I know it. I just haven’t been told its go time yet. So I write. It’s hard to not be pessimistic. With each passing day the future for my children grows ever darker. It breaks my heart watching what is happening on a daily basis. More and more people are openly discussing our final option, so that gives me hope.

I, regretfully, concur.  TINVOWOOT.

When a gun store closes, all their paperwork goes to fedgov.  Thus this is a “good” way to create a de facto registration list.  Related:

  • The worst five counties (Cook, Los Angeles, Harris, Philadelphia, and New York) accounted for about 15 percent of homicides.
  • The worst 1 percent of counties (31), with 21 percent of the US population, accounted for 42 percent of the homicides.
  • The worst 2 percent of counties (62), with 31 percent of the population, accounted for 56 percent of the homicides.
  • The worst 5 percent of counties (155), with 47 percent of the population, accounted for 73 percent of the homicides.
  • In contrast, over half of US counties (52 percent) had zero homicides in 2020, and roughly one-sixth of the counties (16 percent) had only one.

Medical Journal Floats Concept of Using Braindead Women As Surrogates Through “Whole Body Gestational Donation” – Reduxx

This is monstrous.  Utterly.

And yet… there are people who will think this is a good idea.  How far we’ve descended down the morality slope.  Yes, the woman is brain dead, but it’s still a living person.  It gets worse – I’ve seen, in a post I can’t find specifically, how the Globalists could use condemned female prisoners as gestational units for their own babies.

How soon before the organ banks from Larry Niven’s future world starts condemning prisoners and breaking them down for organs?  Consider this proposal to implant a woman’s womb in a biological man… could dead or condemned prisoners have their reproductive organs taken for this purpose?  I’m trying to chase down a rumor that in the UK there are rules being passed mandating organ harvesting.  (I’ve taken the “I’m an organ donor” symbol off my driver’s license.)

Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing on our society in debauchery.  Hashem will not tolerate being so mocked for long.

People of Color “Mystery” Not So Mysterious After All …

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 16:00 +0000

Ockham’s razor is a simple idea: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem. “Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity. To the radical left, it means that almost every “issue” (real or imagined) can be explained as racism! But what if it’s not?

Take New Hampshire, for example. It is “too white” all year round, not just from November to March. The population is predominately not of color. No one tried to make it that way; it just happened.

 

The colorblind world is all about color. It’s about numbers. Butts in seats, or in front of classrooms, or at our workplaces.

What about Live Free or Die?

In a genuinely free society, people go where they want for reasons that are their own.

And in a truly diverse world personal preference would drive demographics and that would be good enough. Sorry, say the “experts,” it’s not.

 

Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont every state along the Canadian border is majority white. Why? The colder the annual temps, the whiter it seems to get. There are lots of perfectly non-racist reasons for that.

The darker your skin, the more sunlight you need for your body to generate enough vitamin D, an essential nutrient for immune health, among other things. The farther north you go, the less sun you get. It’s cold more often and longer.

While folks might accept that if they have an opportunity worth the discomfort, given a choice, how about not? These illegal aliens (of color) who ended up in Eric Adams, New York, were offered free bus tickets to Canada, but when they got there, they wanted to return. Too much snow. Too cold. The free ride is more pleasant when it’s warmer, and New York City is warmer than Canada.

And not just because it is one of the largest urban heat islands on earth.

But this simplest of explanations provides zero political leverage, so they can’t embrace it. It gets them nothing: no outrage, no protests, no tribalism or division. The truth is useless.

States like New Hampshire were or are predominantly white for the same reason as the National Hockey League. People of color chose something else. So when New Hampshire Democrats failed to promote any candidates of color to run for congress, maybe it wasn’t their fault? It was. Republicans found plenty who not only chose to live here but chose to run.

It’s the Democrats who are racist and guess what – they feel so guilty that they can’t shut up about projecting that guilt onto everyone else.

Oh, one more point from a past piece on this topic that mentioned weather as a factor.

 

What if a majority of “people of color” don’t care how safe or prosperous or job or family-friendly a state is because they hate the cold?

You know what the cure for that is? Global Warming.

 

Ayup!

Sunday Spotlight: A Voice and Ideas to Give Direction

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 14:30 +0000

 We have drifted off course as a nation and have abandoned the ideals that made us the beacon on the hill. Many on the Right have turned their heads and allowed the Woke to achieve a degree of control they do not deserve.

We are still in the grips of the Obama years, and Joe Biden is proving even more Progressive. We gave Black Lives Matter the platform to force us to feelings of guilt we did not deserve. And the education machine is reaping the rewards of one hundred years of indoctrination of our children. Many students in our public schools feel we would be better and stronger if we replaced capitalism and democracy with Socialism. We need something or someone to right this ship.

But, every so often, a voice arises with the clarity and conviction that beckons us to listen. We hear that voice from a young man who is wise beyond his years and has the charisma that grips you with his creative thinking. I have enjoyed this man many times on short segments on FOXNews, and this week got to hear him in person, and he made me a believer. For what I think he will do for this country, Vivek Ramaswamy is in this week’s Sunday Spotlight.

Vivek is a first-generation American. His father emigrated to America in the late seventies, and his mother a few years later. His father was an engineer, and his mother was a geriatric psychiatrist. Both came in through our front door and worked hard to realize the dream for their two children. Vivek was born in 1985, and his resume screams overachiever.

He holds a degree in biology from Harvard and received his law degree from Yale. He was yet to turn thirty when he formed a bio-tech company that employed thousands and held many heart-saving pharmaceuticals patents. He is the author of Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam, published in August 2021, and Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence, published September 13, 2022.

Ramaswamy was dubbed “The C.E.O. of Anti-Woke, Inc.” in a 2022 New Yorker profile and has been described by the Federalist Society as “one of the most compelling conservative voices in the country. He points out the dangerous combination of big government and colluding media. That voice is clear: we must beat down the Woke philosophy, divorce ourselves from the toxic relationship we have with China, and get control of our school system to focus on education, not DEIJ and gender identity.

Vivek admits this effort will require sacrifice, courage, and leadership. The Left is not the party to guide us out of our malaise, and we have to elect a new generation of true conservative candidates in 2024. There is an urgency needed, and we need to find candidates that unify the party and the people. It will take a strong, focused effort to break the hold of the Democrats on America. This is the message of Vivek Ramaswamy. He has dared to say what needs to be done. I am confident that we will hear more from him as he lays out a blueprint to take back this country and make America great again.

More Boxes of Biden Docs in Boston

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 13:00 +0000

The nation’s first president slept in many beds, and I don’t mean ‘slept’ in the colloquial sense. He moved around a lot before, during, and after becoming that ‘George Washington’ to the degree that “George Washington Slept Here” became a real estate cliché.” Biden’s working on something similar.

The colloquial “sleeping” around is an option, as is falling asleep (Sleepy Joe), but I’m referring to boxes of classified documents. They keep turning up. At this office, at this home, while the “most transparent administration” coordinated a months-long coverup involving multiple agencies.

The latest batch of docs linked to Biden has been found in Boston.

 

 Emails released Friday by the National Archives reveal references to President Biden’s lawyers handing over boxes of documents in Boston — confirming a little-known detail in the chronology of Biden’s classified documents scandal.

“Please ensure that the boxes in your office in Boston remain secure in a locked space and are not accessed by anyone,” National Archives official Gary Stern wrote on Nov. 7 to Biden attorneys Patrick Moore and Bob Bauer.

 

Does this answer the question as to whether Biden’s lawyers were qualified to locate classified documents? They were not, or maybe they were. According to the reporting, his lawyers – the ones who “found” the verboten Obama Admin documents in then VP Bidens off campus DC office (doing business as a Think Tank), sent them to Boston.

That’s how they got there.

 

 

The email was sent five days after Biden’s lawyers say they discovered classified documents at Biden’s post-vice presidency office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington.

CNN reported in January that Moore shipped some Penn Biden Center documents to his Boston law office before he discovered classified records.

The records removed to Boston were believed not to contain sensitive information, the outlet reported at the time. The new emails, however, raise questions about the nature of the documents given the protocols requested by the National Archives.

 

So, the National archives and the White House knew about the Penn Biden DC and Boston MA doc stashes and hid that knowledge from the public until after the Mid-Term elections.

 

“Right before the National Archives came in, they handed us a letter from the Department of Justice informing them and us that the general counsel for the National Archives wasn’t allowed to say anything about the Biden documents,” Comer said. “But we had about a three-plus hour transcribed interview with the general counsel and what we learned was there is a double-standard here with how Donald Trump was treated versus Joe Biden.”

 

The FBI was too busy to stage a 5 AM raid on the DC offices, those Boston Offices, and Joe’s House (or his other house). And it looks like The National Archives was too busy too.

 

 

We’ve now got the White House, the DOJ, the National Archives, and – anyone else?

This is not unexpected, but it is amusing. For four years, Dems took every opportunity to accuse Donald Trump, or anyone who said his name without sneering, of wrongdoing and coverups. Biden’s White House had so many things to cover up that they told the DOJ to put a gag order on the National Archives.

Is that obstruction of justice or by Justice?

 

Exit Question: Can we send Biden’s Lawyers to China to get the boxes of “documents” he left there, or would that create an international incident?

The Unique Strengths of the New Hampshire Legislature

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 11:30 +0000

I was asked recently to characterize the unique strengths of the New Hampshire legislature.  Size: largest state legislature by almost a factor of two. We have 400 House reps. The second biggest is Pennsylvania, with 204.

Cost: $100 per year per legislator (plus mileage) compensation. This means it is a hobby, not a job.

Character: the House is not much of a stepping-stone to higher office, especially because the Senate is so small, with only 24 senators. This means we get more retirees with lots of life experience instead of young, ambitious politicos.

Inexpensive campaigns: it is unusual for a returning Rep to spend $1,000 on their campaign. That means they can be self-funded, so they are less beholden to donors and leadership.

Bottom-up: in many places, including the US Congress, the leadership has a lot of power. Committee chairs can kill bills on their own, and leadership controls large pools of campaign funds. In NH, leadership has very little real power. They can give someone the committee they want; they can give them an aisle seat in the House and maybe a good parking space. But all bills get voted on by the full body. Since many heads are better than a few, we get more intelligence applied to problems than in most places.

Corruption: Since we are so large and there is little money needed to campaign, there is almost no opportunity for corruption, especially in the House.

I’d say perhaps the main drawback is our large turnover, with about 1/3 of the body every election; there is less institutional knowledge than there could be. This tends to give more power to the executive branch employees. They can more easily snow the inexperienced Reps and get their way.

Why Is Sun-King Chris Sununu So Threatened By Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 02:30 +0000

Donald Trump is definitely NOT the most narcissist person in politics. You know that if you live in New Hampshire. Sun-King Sununu is. The latest stop on his LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! pretend-Presidential campaign was some FakeNews podcast, which Sun-King’s unofficial publicist, NH-NeverTrump’s Mikey Graham, breathlessly tweeted about.

One of Mikey Graham’s tweets shows just how petty and shallow our Sun-King really is … he attacks Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene for what she was wearing at the State-of-the-Union:

In Sun-King’s defense he probably lashed out like a teenager at MTG because he was still really, really butt-hurt that Speaker McCarthy chose a real Republican Governor, Governor Huckabee Sanders, to give the Republican response to SOTU.

Article V Constitutional Convention – Get Ready for the “Hocus Pocus”

Granite Grok - Sun, 2023-02-12 01:00 +0000

Imagine a group calling themselves patriots, afraid to use the powers constitutionally and unanimously bestowed to the states in 1787 from perhaps the greatest men of intellect ever assembled in history.

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

This group’s tactics include hocus pocus, magician’s wand, sleight of hand, and even flying monkeys of FEAR to make you think a Constitutional Convention is the same as an “Article V” Convention of States.

Article V COS simply would allow NH to become the 20th state to authorize faithful delegates picked by the NH legislature to meet with other states and propose amendments to “THIS” Constitution. (Not Change It). To be called to enact on the Federal Government; fiscal restraints, term limits, and restoration of states’ rights. (Supported by nearly 80% of the US population)

Jan 27, 2023, the Day of Enlightenment occurred in Representatives Hall. Approximately #125 supporters took time from family and work to support HCR- 1 Convention of The States. Mr. Michael Farris, renowned constitutional scholar and practiced Supreme Court attorney, eloquently addressed the fears of the Hocus Pocus group, as well as gave a history lesson on policy and procedures of an Article V. Convention.

The chief magician from the Hocus Pocus group decided not to testify in person and left the room expeditiously as Mr. Farris spoke. Sadly this group also has never proposed any solutions to fight “The Run Away Federal Government,” the authors of Article V feared most.

Later in the week, the courage and wisdom of the State legislature and Veterans Affairs Committee passed Article V HCR-1 and shortly after HCR-4 for US term limits.

We are sure the flying monkeys of fear will be released again as HCR-1 and HCR-4 come before the full legislature session. Please contact your state legislator and ask them to take the time to become enlightened. Let’s join together Democrat, Independent, Republican, and Libertarian – make NH proud to be the 20th state of 34 to call for an Article V Convention of the States to stop a RUNAWAY FEDERAL GOVEREMENT.

In Liberty to All

So New Hampshire Attorney General Johnny-Woke Is Okay With FBI’s Anti-Catholic Bigotry?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-02-11 23:30 +0000

Sun-King Sununu’s unofficial publicist … NH-NeverTrump Journal’s RINO-in-Chief Mikey Graham … has been working to position the Sun-King’s lapdog Attorney General Johnny-Woke for a gubernatorial run in 2024. I posted about it in Is The NHGOP Establishment Moving On From Chucky Morse? a few weeks ago. Well Mikey is back at it … trying to rebrand Johnny-Woke as a fierce defender of the Second Amendment:

What FakeNews Mikey Graham fails to mention is that Johnny-Woke has NOT joined a State Attorney General effort to oppose the FBI’s unconstitutional targeting of Catholics. More specifically, on February 10th, Virginia Attorney General, joined by nineteen GOP State Attorney Generals, wrote the US DOJ and FBI demanding explanations and threatening legal action in response to a leaked internal FBI memo that revealed that the FBI intends to identify and treat Catholics as “potential terrorists.”

An excerpt from the letter reveals why Johnny-Woke did not join:

Needless to say, but I will say it anyway because it needs to be said, Johnny-Woke and his sovereign, Sun-King Sununu, through their words and actions have made it fair to assume that they are on the FBI’s side.

Is This The Biggest Climate Cult Lie Ever?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2023-02-11 22:00 +0000

The Climate Cult’s record is not good. Their “frontmen” keep making predictions that never come true. Their prescriptions are not “green.” And there is no evidence that their “cure” will result in the changes prophesized. There is, however, evidence that it won’t.

Since the early years, before they put the climate cult dress on their old whore, global warming was about…warming. It still is. No matter what they call it, the problem, as advertised, is warming. The interventions are supposed to prevent warming by lowering emissions. They are happy to confuse pollution and CO2 because it serves their purpose, but they mean the latter. The mythology always has and will turn on lowering the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to prevent … warming.

That’s the deal. Lower CO2. Every confab, meeting, convention, gesticulation, and rant is about lowering CO2. If we can do that, they say, it will slow or stop the laundry list of horrible things to which it has been ascribed, and that may be the biggest lie of all.

Yes, they lie about their research methods and data and what it means, but there is ample evidence of what the earth’s “climate” was like when there was less CO2. It was nasty and brutish and – if we’re honest – a lot more dangerous than it is today.

In other words, there is proof of what earth is like with less CO2 (the desired outcome), and it is not “a safe and stable climate,” as Tony Heller reminds us. Based on the science (historical fact), you could argue that lower CO2 will make all the things the Climate Climate says you should fear worse or – more likely – that the climate has nothing to do with what they claim, and it’s all a scam.

Wednesday, February 15th, N.H. House
Health, Human Services, and Elderly Affairs
LOB, Room 201-203
  10:00 a.m. – SUPPORT – HB 69, relative to direct payment and membership based health care facilities. Currently in NH, all hospitals and clinics must accept Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance, making them subject to federal government regulation. NH has direct payment and membership based primary care and we have noticed a trend of open-minded and alternative practitioners breaking free of regulations by converting their practices to this model. We need to allow hospitals and clinics such freedom.

Thursday, February 16th, N.H. House
Health, Human Services, and Elderly Affairs
LOB, Room 201-203
  9:00 a.m. – SUPPORT – HB 406, relative to parental access to children’s medical records. There is currently a push for medical facilities to cut off parental access to their child’s medical records at 12 years old. I’ve personally heard several reports of parents changing practices due to this policy. This bill requires that parents have access to their children’s medical records until 18 years old.

 Click here to register your disposition.
 Email the committee.

 

Health, Human Services, and Elderly Affairs
LOB, Room 201-203
  11:15 a.m. – SUPPORT – HB 557, relative to the department of health and human services’ rulemaking authority regarding immunization requirements. Currently there are two ways that a vaccine can be added to the school requirement schedule: either through law, which requires the legislature to pass a bill, or through the rulemaking process, unilaterally proposed by the commissioner of DHHS. This bill seeks to eliminate the ability of the department to add vaccines to the school schedule through rulemaking.

 Email the committee.

 

Health, Human Services, and Elderly Affairs
LOB, Room 201-203
  1:00 p.m. – SUPPORT – HB 408, relative to foster children and vaccinations. Several years ago, DHHS amended rules regarding vaccines and foster families to require that all the children in the household be fully vaccinated to ACIP standards in order to care for a foster child. As a result, many capable and loving families stopped fostering children. This bill seeks to eliminate this cruel standard by saying that a child living in the home but not in foster care shall be subject to the same vaccination requirements as any other child in the state with the same right to exemption.

Health, Human Services, and Elderly Affairs
LOB, Room 201-203
  2:30 p.m. – OPPOSE – HB 425, repealing the statute relative to medical freedom in immunizations. One of RebuildNH’s achievements in 2021 was supporting the passage of the Medical Freedom in Immunizations Act that prohibits Covid vaccine status being a basis to receive public benefit. State universities were one way this law was applied and no student attending a NH state school was required to receive the Covid vaccine. This bill seeks to repeal this law.
