MONDAY MEMES

Granite Grok - Mon, 2022-12-12 17:30 +0000

They’re flying so thick and fast it is amazing.  And take heart – there will be a Meme Overflow and I will back-edit to include the link.  And there will likely be a Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow.  Last week’s Overflow-Overflow.

Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:

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

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

Fake Meat Always Had Fake Benefits, But Now It Has Fake Nutrition

Granite Grok - Mon, 2022-12-12 16:00 +0000

With the rise of impossible foods like fake meat, we are getting much less than advertised. The phony meat, its fake benefits to the climate or the planet, and now, according to new research, phony nutrition.

Related: Fake Meat-Fraud Prediction – They’ll Market it Like COVID Vaccines and Hide What’s Bad About It.

From Science Daily.

 

‘Among these products, we saw a wide variation in nutritional content and how sustainable they can be from a health perspective. In general, the estimated absorption of iron and zinc from the products was extremely low. This is because these meat substitutes contained high levels of phytates, antinutrients that inhibit the absorption of minerals in the body,’ says Cecilia Mayer Labba, the study’s lead author, who recently defended her thesis on the nutritional limitations of switching from animal protein to plant-based protein.

 

I’m guessing that the FDA is too busy trying to regulate vitamins and supplements to keep people from self-treating or embracing homeopathic medicine (which they are) to take up the suspicious nutritional claims of fake meat mongers. But Chalmers University and Dr. Cecilia Mayer Labba, Ph.D., think they should.

 

‘It is clear that when it comes to minerals in meat substitutes, the amount that is available for absorption by the body is a very important consideration. You cannot just look at the list of ingredients. Some of the products we studied are fortified with iron but it is still inhibited by phytates. We believe that making nutrition claims on only those nutrients that can be absorbed by the body could create incentives for the industry to improve those products,’ says Ann-Sofie Sandberg, Professor of Food and Nutrition Science at Chalmers and co-author of the study.

 

I agree as long as we add that the processing is far from “green,” as is the product. Making “meat” from plants requires increased agriculture, which has been on the CO2 naughty list for decades. From earth-churning releases of CO2 to machinery emissions to fertilizer algae bloom and issues with storage, transportation, and processing, the level of framing needed to replace real meat is anything but green.

The sudden embrace of plant-based meats stinks like yesterday’s (and today’s) green energy addiction. The latter is less about saving the planet and more about crippling the fossil fuel energy industry, which leans right politically. By green, they mean money; more for theirs and less for yours. Using fear to wipe out revenue streams to their political opponents comes with the territory.

Real meat is not a health risk (certainly not the one they advertise) and provides proteins and nutrients you can’t get anywhere else. But if the result of the push toward fake meat means lower nutrition, the Dems don’t care – unless requiring better nutrition from faux meat gets them something else they want.

Sen. Bradley, Please Explain to Me How “You” Lowered Property Taxes

Granite Grok - Mon, 2022-12-12 14:30 +0000

Senator Bradley,

I just watched your 10-minute conversation with Adam Sexton and was taken by a comment you made in the very last minute:

“as we have done in lowering property taxes…”

The way I understand those words is that you implied that lowering property taxes has been done. I am looking at my current bill, due December 20, and it is more than three times that of any previous bill! Please explain to me how you (presumably meaning the previous legislature) LOWERED property taxes. Clearly, there is a mismatch between what you said has happened and what has actually happened! I would like an answer please, not just for myself but for the whole city, Rosenwald’s people included.

Federal Court Rules: Biden Can’t “Force” Nuns “to Transition” …

Granite Grok - Mon, 2022-12-12 13:00 +0000

Religious conscience won another victory in Federal Court last Friday. Following a Fifth Circuit Court ruling in August, the Eight Circuit has declared that Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act could not force religious doctors or hospitals that receive federal funding to perform gender transitions.

The courts permanently blocked enforcement of the Team Biden interpretation.

 

Catholic nuns, clinics, a university, and hospitals were among the plaintiffs in the case, represented by the Becket Fund. The plaintiffs all provide medical care for transgender patients but refuse to provide gender-transition surgeries because they believe them to be harmful. Their grant of permanent injunctive relief from the lower court was preserved Friday.

 

The case is “The Religious Sisters of Mercy; Sacred Heart Mercy Health Care Center, (Alma, MI); SMP Health System; University of Mary; Catholic Benefits Association; Diocese of Fargo; Catholic Charities of North Dakota; Catholic Medical Association vs. Xavier Becerra, Secretary of the United States Department of Human Services (etc.).

The question relates to enrolled anti-discrimination protections provided in Title IX into an interpretation of rule 1557 from the Affordable Care Act (prohibiting discrimination in health care), balanced against the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Long story short, this debate has been ongoing for six years, but the Biden Admin’s interpretation led to the most recent ruling. They wanted to control federal funding for Medicaid/Medicare-type coverage based on whether facilities were willing to perform gender transitions. If the answer was no transitions, the Feds might or could deny any federal money or coverage for treatments at the facility and follow with litigation.

HHS determined that just about everyone in the medical community was bound by Rule 1557, filtered through Title IX and Title VII, and could decide if violations on a case-by-case basis. Given the government’s hostility to religious conscience (with the exclusion of Muslims), Catholic Medical Centers could see the crosshairs. They would find themselves forever wrapped up in litigation if a case were ever brought, and we know they would.

Ask Christian Bakers, Photographers, Wedding Planners, Artists, or even Dating services. The Gaystapo repeatedly targets these in search of a favorable ruling, and if the legal process ruined the business owner, it was a victory for the militant Left.

From the decision, “HHS … would evaluate “individualized and fact specific” RFRA claims “on a case-by-case basis.” Id. “To obtain an exception, in other words, a provider objecting on religious grounds needed to convince HHS that the regulation circumstantially violated the RFRA.”

In other words, yeah, we know there are religious exemptions, but we’ll decide if they apply. I think we understand what that means. Do the surgeries, or we yank all your Federal money, including Medicaid or Medicare coverage. Assuming the legal fees don’t wipe you out.

The Religious Sisters of Mercy, Sacred Heart Mercy Health Care Center was right to preempt that course by challenging the new interpretation of 1557.

Without getting into the weeds, and there are weeds (other cases and ruling – read the decision for details), the government lost in part on the merits of its dismissal claim.

 

As the Fifth Circuit explained, the government’s assertion that “it ‘has not to date evaluated’ whether it will enforce Section 1557 against [the plaintiffs]” is actually a “conce[ssion] that it may” do so. Just as in Franciscan Alliance where the HHS “repeatedly refused to disavow enforcement against Franciscan Alliance,” id., so, too, has it refused in the present case. In fact, HHS has promised (1) “robust enforcement of Section 1557” in the 2016 Rule,  and (2) to “vigorously enforce [Section 1557’s] prohibitions on discrimination based on . . . sex” in the 2020 Rule (citations removed).

 

Claiming “it might not” infers that it might, giving the Sisters standing and ultimately a decision in their favor.

The permanent injunction against the rule is affirmed. At least until some other judges who work for the same government decide differently – which is itself the real problem and unresolved.

We’ll take the points but with an understanding that under our current system of government, victory is fleeting at best.

 

 

And my apologies if the title seems click-baitish. Disections of court rulings – even short attempts – are not sexy. I wanted a funny lead because I found the case compelling.

“The People Have Spoken”

Granite Grok - Mon, 2022-12-12 11:30 +0000

When Raphael Warnock delivered his victory speech after he was declared the winner of the Georgia Senate Run-off Election, he stated that “the people have spoken.” He said emphatically that these are the four most important words in government. But what does it mean to have the people speak? Does it mean a straightforward one-vote win, or does it need an overwhelming majority? Does it mean it took two elections to achieve over 50% of the votes, or does it require a clear mandate? In today’s political world, I believe the people do not speak, that they no longer have a voice, and the race in Georgia proves this theory.

Georgia elections have come into focus of late because of intense criticism of state voting laws and the fact that nobody appears able to win a clear majority on the first ballot. Because of the split in Congress, additional attention has been placed on Georgia to determine the balance of power in D.C. The run-off election between Warnock and his Republican challenger Herschel Walker became one of the most heated and divisive elections in history. Did it really show that the people had spoken? I think not. Warnock won by a slim 3% difference, but that only tells part of the story. The election maps tell a bigger story.

The Georgia map is very similar to the country map for the mid-terms. Our government today is being chosen by the heavily populated regions. In the case of Georgia, the votes from Atlanta, Augusta, Albany, and Savanah determined the victor. On the national map, the West Coast, Northeast, and for some reason, Arizona and New Mexico are dominated by Democrats. The rest of the country is painted in solid red for the Republicans. So are the people speaking, or do just the urban dwellers have a voice?

The voters in the suburbs and rural areas are not represented unless they align with the Democrats. The same goes for the middle of the country, which is primarily Conservative. The big cities of their state choose their representatives. They have to live by that ideology. Politicians love to say they will go to Washington to represent all of their constituents. We know by their actions, as they only represent their voters or donors. That is how divided we are. The word bipartisan is thrown about far too often. Nearly every vote is cast along party lines, period. People cannot even see the other side of the aisle lest they crossover to vote with the opposition.

Over $400 Million was spent by Warnock and Walker, making this race the most expensive Senate seat in history. That is $400 million for 3.5 million voters. Have the people’s voices been heard, or just that of George Washington? Elections have ceased being about issues and character. They are all about money. Just ask John Fetterman in Pennsylvania or Kathy Hochul in New York. Neither deserved to be elected, but the money they raised said otherwise. And the Liberal voters that occupy the significant cities put them over the top. It is not a sound system, but even cynics say it is still the best in the world. Many more years like the last two, and I may want to debate those cynics.

Maintenance: Guest DISQUS comments have been turned off – for now

Granite Grok - Mon, 2022-12-12 03:04 +0000

You can thank someone acting trollish. After warning about the behavior, I had to delete comments and accounts. Since the troll decided to rotate through guest accounts, I’ve turned off that privilege. To re-acquaint people with our few rules:

As LaShawn Barber says, “On this blog, your speech is a privilege. On your blog, your speech is a right. Learn the distinction.”

Comments (Again, but with more feeling)

UPDATE (2/7/2018): Needed because of trolls

Rule #1 – Adult themes, kid-friendly.  Don’t post something that would cause little Johnny and Janie to run to Mommy and Daddy to ask, “what does this mean?” because I’m the guy who gets the call or the email, and I have better things to do.

Rule #2 – Write what you want. Sure, we are a site, for the most part, focused on politics and culture, but if something amuses you, have at it.

The troll problem.

  • Rule #3 – Don’t be a troll.  If I judge that you are, I will ban you.  You might get a warning but you might not – that is at my whim.  The decision to ban is final.
    Rule #4 – We need to be able to see your DISQUS home/account page.  I have disabled GUEST commenting.  If you wish to comment here, you will need to open a public DISQUS account first.  Apologies to our regular commenters – you may now need to verify your email addresses with DISQUS before continuing; blame the trolls.

Once the original “guest troll” problem passed, I turned guest commenting back on. We’ve had the problem a couple of times since. We have it back again so I’ve had to disable that privilege again. Apologies to you guests that DO behavior themselves – at some point, I will be able to turn them back on.

I will also be giving “Zero Day” DISQUS account greater scrutiny – no choice.

But as necessary, I can delete troll comments and ban troll accounts all day long. It’s not a big deal – it’s just a part of the business.

Dem Rep Stacie Laughton’s (Very Long) Rap Sheet

Granite Grok - Mon, 2022-12-12 02:30 +0000

Stacie Laughton made national news recently when she was arrested (again) for stalking a woman in violation of a protective order. Laughton, a Democrat, and the first Transgender elected to the NH House (to then also resign and un-resign) has a history of running for public office, criminal complaints, and arrests.

Stacie, born Barry Charles, Laughton Jr. is alleged to have an array of mental health issues, not the least of which is being a registered Democrat. Recently, someone sent me a list of incidents associated with Laughton.

We make no specific claim to the accuracy of the details and present them as provided for the record.

 

-When Stacie-Marie was Barry C he ran for city council in 2005(18%of the vote at age 21) and 2009 (10% of the vote) and school board in 2006 (2% of the vote) while living in Laconia but was not successful in his bid. Additionally, he lost his bid in a primary race for the NH house in 2010. – 7/2006 Stacie-Marie was Barry C and now ex-wife Lisa were arrested in 2006 due to contacting 911 3x from 2:13 am-3:45 am the 1st of 2 calls were because they were stranded with the last call stating that Lisa had fallen and that Stacie-Marie was suicidal and they requested 2 ambulances. During the intake at the hospital it was determined that there was no need for treatment, and a taxi was called to transport them home. Stacie-Marie refused to pay for the taxi, and this resulted in a felony charge for calling emergency services and for theft of services. The county Atty did not prosecute the felony and Stacie-Marie plead guilty to theft of services. – 2006 Stacie-Marie was Barry C was convicted of a misdemeanor criminal mischief for slashing the tires of another resident in her apartment building and was ordered to pay $647 in restitution. – 2007 Stacie-Marie was Barry C following an investigation and was arrested and charged following an identity theft investigation with a local resident being the victim. The ID info was used to obtain a credit card and more than $3,000 was charged to this card. Barry and Lisa were released on $15,000 PR bail each pending their arraignment in Laconia District Court. – When Stacie-Marie was Barry C after pleading guilty 7/2008 he was sentenced in 2008 to 7 1/2-15 years in prison for conspiracy to commit credit card fraud and 3 1/2-7 years for falsifying physical evidence. These sentences ran concurrently and were later reduced to 1 year in Belnap County DOC. It is unclear if Stacie-Marie was still Barry C when he/she/they were released after service only 4 1/2 months under the condition of 10 years of “good behavior” and ordered to pay $1,991 in restitution. During the proceedings, an Atty for the defense requested a competency evaluation, and the primary diagnosis of ADHD with some associated learning disabilities as well as Anti-Social Personality Disorder” and it was concluded that Stacie-Marie was a malingerer (as defined by Webster’s Dictionary). – In 2010 he/she/they were listed on the ballot as Barry “Stacie” Laughton but lost the primary race for 1 of the 5 seats as a Democrat. – 12/2010, Barry C officially changed her name to Stacie Marie Laughton -In 2012 she ran and won her race for state representative, but because she was a convicted felon and had not received her “final release” on 11/27/2012, she issued a statement resigning her position as state representative-elect. – 12/2012 she announced that she would run in the election to fill the seat she resigned from but on 1/2/2013 she abandoned her candidacy the day before the election commission held a hearing on the matter. – 3/2015 A warrant for her arrest was issued stemming from a bomb threat to Souther NH Medical Center. She was initially charged with the felony of making a false report of explosives, but a judge reduced the charge to a misdemeanor and sentenced her to a six-month suspended jail term. – 2019 She paid $2,000 restitution to be cleared to run for public office again and formed an exploratory committee in hopes of returning to city government. She ran for, and won, her former selectman seat in Nashua that year. – 2020 she once again ran for the NH House of Representatives, ultimately winning the seat – 2021 she was re-elected to her seat as selectman in Nashua – between 5/21/2021 and 7/19/2021 she was charged with 12 counts of penalty for false 911 information, was arrested on 7/27/21 and was released on PR bail 7/30/21. – Between 7/11/2022 – 7/15/2022 there were 2charges of E-911 false information and 2charges of harassment – 7/25/2022 there was a protective order requested and approved against her – 8/22/2022 9 of the 12 counts were Nolle Prossed and she pleaded nolo Contendere on 3 of the 12 counts, but was found guilty on these three counts with a sentence of 1. Good Behavior for 1 year. 2. Participate in Heats Peer Support Center. Confinement maximum 9mos deferred for 1 year with community service 25 hours with proof to be submitted to the state in 6 months. Case status pending as of 10/26/2022   – Between 8/25/2022 – 8/28/2022 a charge of criminal defamation and 2 charges of stalking was imposed and on 9/8/2022 a $200.00 cash bail was imposed and posted Case status pending as of 9/5/2022 9/2022 she ran for re-election for her seat as NH House of Representatives and won her primary. – 9/12/2022 Nashua PD filed a motion to impose deferred sentence. – 10/6/2022 Notice of decision was filed and request for a lawyer was filed and attorney was appointed. – 11/8/2022 she was successful in her bid of re-election for the NH House of Representatives – 11/12/2022 she was arrested by the Hudson PD on a charge of stalking. Case status pending as of 11/14/2022 – 11/14/2022 an arraignment and bail hearing was held and it appears from the case summary that she is being held without bail unitil Case status hearing 12/1/2022 @ 9AM Nashua District Court   – 12/1/2022 Motion Hearing to impose suspended sentence on Case#459-2021-CR-02498 (2021 charges).

Grokpac – More Hate Mail From the Child Pornography Lovers. Part 3

Granite Grok - Mon, 2022-12-12 01:00 +0000

Another set of hate mail. Now, is it REALLY hate mail? Dunno, but I’m rather sure that they weren’t “happy thoughts”, either.  It’s very obvious that there is a difference of outlook/morality between the Parties. 

Porn is fine and they aren’t going to hold their elected representatives accountable for it.  What IS more troubling is that this small number of returns are just not exercised by the knowledge that porn is freely available – even in schools with little kids.

And yes, I do remember the time when “men’s magazines” (and PlayGirl as well – right, former PG centerfold Scott Brown?) were first put into brown paper wrappers out of the reach of children in convenience stores, pharmacies, and grocery stores.  Now, I haven’t looked for them recently, but I believe they are gone. So out of “places of public accommodation” but in “of “public school places”?

First up was one from Milford – Hillsborough District 23. Since I have already set a pattern, the envelope:

 

Now, it does seem that there was something to the left of “BOSTON MA 020” but it looks like it was erased.  And it definitely backs up what I said – I let a bunch of these returns sit around for a while.  But the inside had a bit more to say:

So let’s examine what she’s (a little less sure due to the handwriting but I’m going to go with it). On the mailer, this is what her note covered up:

Actually, this is a good summary of what has actually happened and we have blogged about this a number of times in the recent past. A girl went trans male while in school and the District’s policy has made it clear that such a change would be kept from their parents. Unfortunately for the District, a teacher who had called the parent slipped up and used this girl’s “male” name and catching the Mom by surprise. She made it clear to the District that she had not given them permission to do so – they told her, effectively, to pound sand and that they would stick with that policy. THE BOARD CONDONED LYING TO PARENTS – and in fact, made it clear to Parents that they WILL lie to Parents. Period.

She sued. Long story short, the Judge in the case, Amy Messer who was appointed to the bench by Maggie Hassan when she was NH Governor, ruled in favor of the District. Thus, NOTHING in the above is incorrect – it is entirely factual.

So, to the person who wrote this: YOU ARE ENTIRELY GULLIBLE if someone told you otherwise. The court case is public knowledge and the Judge’s decision/order is a public document – a little bit of homework will show you that your are wrong. Heck, just search GraniteGrok!  It was also

But this is what happens when people either get locked into a Narrative or locked into Partisan politics. Even when there is a clear indication that an assertion is wrong, some pople keep going down that path, fingers in ears, and going “na, na, na, I can’t hear you!”. And in this case, I wasn’t all that surprised at the reaction.

And a note was sent along:

Ah!  Government should supply all your needs – including kiddie porn?  No, we were not telling you, as a Parent, what your children should or should not read. Perhaps you’d love it if that crazy uncle of theirs that just “a bit off” read that porn while sitting in his lap.  I also have this vision of her going to her local bookstore and asking “please direct me to the age-appropriate pornography section, please” – ugh!  And yes, I DO expect you to pay for YOUR kids porn – why are you demanding that others who do NOT share your sense of morality pay for your children getting excited?

But she does admit what is of importance: “…under my supervision, of course”. Well, ma’am, do you want them accessing it when you have no idea that it existed  That you have NO CONTROL over their reading it (or worse, others reading it to them that might not have their best interest at heart. You have no idea, do you – or that you do not wish to contemplate that idea?

At least she made it clear – her decision and not mine. That’s fine.

However, it ISN’T her decision to have porn in schools. and she doesn’t even approach that point. We aren’t telling anyone what their kids can and cannot read – what we did do is:

  • Spotlight that such books exist in public schools – with the tacit ok by public school librarians, public school Administrators, and school boards.
  • That tacit ok means that the public schools have taken that decision OUT OF PARENTS hands – and authority over their children
  • Maggie Hassen appointed a judge that decided that Government owns your children – not you – while in school.  THEY are preeminent and you are pointless.
  • That Ray Buckley, the NH Dem Chair, thinks that any Parent that has a trans child can and will beat them to death (tells you what the Democrat Party thinks of Parents)

And that the candidates listed on the mailers vote against NH House bills that would have protected Parental Rights. Including her’s to have that “under my supervision, or course“.

So she missed the point entirely.  I should write her.

Next one was from Cheshire District 10 (Richmond, Swanzey) – the envelope:

Why people just reuse the envelope and NOT cancel out their name is beyond me – unless they WERE trying to make a statement. Now, she (and yes, it is a she) decided to start off with a message: “I DID! I was not shocked, except by you”. How  moral standards have fallen – previous generations would never put up with porno books in schools. *I* certainly don’t believe that such graphicly illustrated / written books belong where young children can access them – especially in schools.  Without Parents knowing about them and they don’t – this issue has just surfaced over the last couple of years.

But there’s more – the Religion card was thrown:

 

Last time I knew, pornography wasn’t listed among any Christian sacraments that I know of.  You?  I’d be hard pressed to find anything that would – you?

I hate it when someone throws any kind of “Card” to shut down debate. Worse is when they try to use my values against it. Happens a lot.

Fortunately, porn isn’t one of my values so this was useless.

Well, I know that he voted against YOUR Rights.  Twice.  Does that make him an “excellent legislator”?  Last time I looked, a legislator is supposed to represent you – NOT vote against your Rights concerning your children.

Is this really what you believe what Barrett Faulkner did in your best interest? In the best interest of your children?

And she didn’t say anything about the school system overriding her Rights, either…
