Right Side Up – GOTV!

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-10-15 23:00 +0000
With the election fast approaching, voter confidence, turnout, and culture are hot topics. Bill and Mike discuss getting out the vote and converting displeasure into action. “How far into the abyss must we go…” before you are motivated to go out and vote for something different. (And thanks for the Shout out, guys!)

Do Most State House Speeches Simply Fall on Deaf Ears?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-10-15 22:00 +0000
On Veto Day, I addressed the New Hampshire House of Representatives one last time. I made a speech in favor of overriding the veto of HB1093, the bill prohibiting school boards from mandating mask-wearing.   Last March, the House voted to pass this bill while the Senate did the same a few weeks afterwards, but it ...

Does VT Have The Lowest “Climate Change” Risk In America?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-10-15 20:00 +0000
I hope you like salt because this might take a grain or two. A weather fearmongering tag team comprised of the Daily Mail and something called SafeHom.org has compiled some data to produce what they call “The Best & Worst States for Climate Change in the US.” Get a load of this. The signs are ... Read more

Why College Students Cannot Read Well

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-10-15 18:00 +0000
Joanne Jacobs recently published an article titled, “Georgetown students ‘have trouble staying focused on even a sonnet.’ Jacobs mentions how an article from the Atlantic reported that: “Many students no longer arrive at college — even at highly selective, elite colleges — prepared to read books,” writes Rose Horowitch in The Atlantic. Students tell professors ... Read more

Mask Mandates Are The Emerging “Imminent Threat and Menace to Public Health”

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-10-15 16:00 +0000
If you are thinking about pursuing healthcare jobs in California, you will need a high tolerance for rules, regulations, car theft, taxes, sidewalk poop, tyrannical bureaucracies, the homeless, crime, discarded needles, and screeching liberal harpies. Oh, and hunger-like affection for carcinogens, hypoxia, and microplastics. Public Health officials in several Left-Coast counties have reinstituted mask mandate, ... Read more

Do You Hear What You Are Saying?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-10-15 14:00 +0000
I may have said it before, but it deserves to be repeated. JD Vance was a perfect choice for Donald Trump as his running mate. Both men are brilliant but very different in their communication styles. Trump is brash and speaks his mind with no filter. Vance needs no filter. He is quick on his ... Read more

Pilot Episode of Walz in the Wilderness … Goes So Wrong

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-10-15 12:00 +0000
Someone in the Walz wing of the Harris campaign made a decision nearly every revolutionary communist campaign makes in America (‘cuz ‘Merica). We need our commie to look like the people he intends to rule. Send him out hunting. The rubes won’t know any better. ‘Cept the rubes do. And if we’re honest, the hunting ... Read more

Bananas: Town Proposes Authentic Columbo-Indigenous People’s Day

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-10-15 10:00 +0000
The debate over whether to celebrate Columbus Day or Indigenous People’s Day has reached a fever pitch as adherents to both are proposing one over the other.  However the Town of Hartford has put forward a solution that attempts to satisfy everyone.  After researching the customs of South, Meso and North Americans peoples members from ...

Nashua Alderman Moran’s Character Paradox

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-10-15 02:00 +0000
Alderman Moran’s behavior and comments at Nashua Board of Aldermen (BOA) meetings often seem bewildering and inappropriate. This was again illustrated at the BOA meeting of 24 September 2024 when he opined on taxpayers’ reactions to receiving their “surprise” property assessment mail. Excerpts from Alderman Moran’s comments during RESPONSE TO REMARKS OF THE MAYOR: https://youtu.be/nOf9YDorMgo?si=OvDACDlM_oauB9vo&t=797 ... Read more

If Dems Need Permission to Talk About That … So, Will You

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-10-15 00:00 +0000
There were many ‘casualties’ after the Wu Han Flu over the cuckoo’s nest (do you think the socials will break that bit of code?), not the least of which were First Amendment Rights enumerated as natural and inviolable in the US Constitution. Association and assembly under the bus, followed by any opinions, messaging, evidence, precedent, ... Read more

Selling The Side-Effects as An Outbreak

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-10-14 22:00 +0000
Will Rogers famously said: “The problem in America isn’t so much what people don’t know; the problem is what people think they know that just ain’t so,” Reminds me of what wannabe dictators and bureaucrats think about how blind the American people have become and, perhaps, how easy it will be to steal the rest ...

Fact: Climate Change Isn’t Making All Hurricanes Disappear

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-10-14 20:00 +0000
Kirk is adrift, Leslie is lost, and Invest 97L is a hair west of Cape Verde and likely to follow them around the central Atlantic. Milton burned out fast after a CAT 3 landing (Sorry, climateers – no Cat 6 superstorm), making a mess, but that’s what hurricanes do, and a lot less often than ... Read more

The EPA’s Racism

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-10-14 18:00 +0000
A recent federal court decision prohibited the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating pollution based on skin color. Viewed as a blow to “environmental justice” initiatives, the Louisiana decision hinged on an important distinction between government policies created with racist intent versus those that result in racially disparate impacts. The ruling may influence future regulatory action, raising important ... Read more

MONDAY MEMES

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-10-14 16:00 +0000
Monday Monday, can’t trust that day! Last week’s Friday Edition. Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons: 1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought 2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes 3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.   Now, ... Read more

Was Obama A President, Or A Black President?

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-10-14 14:00 +0000
If Democrats are the Party of Inclusion, why do they have an obsession with Identity Politics? I find it incredibly ironic that the Democrats are nothing more than a collection of boxes, and if you do not fit into a particular one, they will create a new one for you. If you need proof of ...

NHS: No Myocarditis in Unvaccinated Kids – Only Jabbed Kids Got That

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-10-14 12:00 +0000
The socialists in the UK National Health Service keep lots of data. They do research. That doesn’t make up for the long wait times that may exceed the window for required care or the outcomes; they do collect the data. The UK has been a gold mine, especially since the COVID era to which we ... Read more

Democrats are Pushing Abortion Extremism

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-10-14 10:00 +0000
Just over nine years ago, I lay in a Paris hospital getting an ultrasound to assess the health of my preborn child. He was just shy of 12 weeks old, and it looked as if this young life might not survive complications with my pregnancy. Back in the U.S., an apparent scandal was engulfing the ... Read more

The Importance of the Vice Presidency

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-10-14 02:00 +0000
In Bill O’Reilly’s book “Confronting The Presidents,” Bill tells us FDR could have cared less who his Vice President was. Of course, at the time, FDR was nearly on his deathbed, and his Vice-President, whom he met once or twice, was Harry S. Truman, the man who decided to drop the Atom Bomb on Japan ... Read more

Can Vermont Republicans Win Control of the Senate?

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-10-14 00:00 +0000
The Vermont Senate contains thirty seats. Democrats/Progressives currently hold twenty-three of them and the office of Lieutenant Governor, who presides over the state senate and can cast tie-breaking votes. So, for the Republicans to take control of the senate for the first time since the 1990s, they would have to hold the seven seats they ... Read more

I’m Tired of Their Lies

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-10-13 22:00 +0000
One side promises unlimited abortion that they will enshrine in our state (and the US) Constitution. To them, there are NO OTHER ISSUES! What about the COST of everything? What about fentanyl overdoses? What about homelessness? I’m tired of their lies. Please don’t fall for it! NH already has a law that allows unlimited abortion ... Read more
