Meet The Republican State Reps Who Do NOT Represent Republican Voters

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-02 18:00 +0000

A must-read article … Night Cap: Two Dangerous Bills Must Be Stopped. Read it to see how the very “Republican” State Reps who tell us they will prevent the Democrats from “massing up” New Hampshire are actually working with the Democrats to “mass up” New Hampshire.

SIXTY-SEVEN (67) “Republican Reps” voted with the Democrats to turn New Hampshire into an endless sea of apartment complexes. Within a short period of time, New Hampshire will look like a mini-me Massachusetts. And once the Biden-Regime steals another election, these apartment complexes will be the perfect places to warehouse all the additional illegal aliens the Regime intends to import.

Read the article. The point of this post is to highlight the imposters calling themselves “Republicans” who are actually Koch-bot-corporatists. The names:

State Rep Shows Up Late and Masked for Expert Testimony on Why Masks Don’t Work

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-02 16:00 +0000

Industrial Hygienist Stephen Petty has decades of experience protecting people from hazards, so when he tells you masks can’t stop a virus, that’s an expert scientific fact. And still, some do not believe.

Petty was back in New Hampshire on March 15, 2024, to provide expert testimony before the House Special Committee on COVID Response Efficacy, and one example of a disbeliever is New Hampshire State Rep. Trinidad Tellez. She is a Democrat, a woke doctor (and director of Health Equity for NH DHHS), and (allegedly) a researcher.

She appears wearing a cloth mask, which is amusing for several reasons before and after arriving.

Mr. Petty’s most recent testimony – available in its entirety below and worth every minute – was well underway when she decided to show up late – wearing that cloth mask (a bandit come to steal your medical freedom!).

One observer mentioned how Rep. Tellez spent time looking at her phone. At one point, I saw her flip through a printed copy of the slide deck with casual disinterest. As a health equity expert, it likely had little that would appeal to her agenda, and no, she never took off the useless mask.

Related: (2022) – Certified Industrial Hygienist Stephen Petty’s Senate Testimony on Why Masks Don’t or Can’t Work

Petty had explained to the Committeee (his detailed slide deck is available here) how and why there is no scientific basis (and never has been – he brought receipts) for masks as a means to reduce viral transmission and how even the medical bureaucracy has said as much, if not backhandedly when Rep. Tellez finally arrives – so it’s no surprise she appears disinterested from there on out.

Petty’s presentation explored how masks can’t stop viruses (not even N95 and why), shares research showing how masking makes infection and transmission more likely, and how masks are bad for kids and learning. He covers a lot of ground in the 80-plus minutes he has the floor (followed by Q and A, which I did not capture – full video available here from 7:30 to 1:57:00).

Much of this will not be new to anyone who reads outside the corporate media lines, but it serves as an excellent reminder.

Mr. Petty also reminded the Committee that doctors are not subject experts on most or all of the disciplines related to air quality and hazard mitigation. Most know little or nothing about PPE (medical masks are not, by legal definition, PPE), its proper applications, or its effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

Rep. Tellez could be forgiven for her ignorance, but not after the hearing – the slide deck handouts had links and references to data and evidence from public and private sources.

I doubt she’s interested in learning that truth or expressing that with her vote, which ought to be of interest to the “community” whose interest she claims to represent.

Here is the testimony and the slide deck.

Capitalism Never Fails, Only Communists Fail

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-02 14:00 +0000

There is a continuously stronger chorus of voices in the Anglosphere claiming that capitalism has failed.

A rallying cry for decades from the political far left, the critique of capitalism stems from many misunderstandings but mainly from a total lack of awareness of what capitalism actually is and isn’t.

Looking historically, the anti-capitalist movement was spurned in the 20th century by the Marxists and Maoists, whose relentless march for personal power built the Communist International. Marx called for a communist revolution— an uprising of the workers to replace the wealthy upper class, the bourgeoisie. Realistically, that uprising happened in many countries during World War I and World War II. The great wars of the 20th century were, in other nomenclature, Marx’s fabled communist revolution.

Both Russia and China felt the brunt of this movement. The latter threw off the vestiges of a millennia-old imperial governing system and became a republic, albeit one-party-dominated, in 1949. Collectivist rule, another name for communism, seemed more fitting to control the larger national populations of the post-20th-century information age.

Today, that communist ideology has firmly planted itself in the United Nations and World Economic Forum. The left is dominant, and capitalists are under attack. But this is nothing new. It is simply a power struggle over wealth.

Capitalism is another name for the intelligent and efficient deployment and appropriation of capital— valuable goods, money, resources, and labor. This is why saying capitalism is the problem is a boogieman argument, like saying CO2 causes climate change. It’s a propagandist message that is simple and catchy and encourages extreme stupidity.

Capitalism is also the caring and maintenance of the free market— that means allowing people to trade and decide the value of things (a.k.a. prices) by whatever means they choose. This is the antithesis of the Communist system, where a central national or federal governing structure sets prices. Such is widely the practice in the EU today. A tome of legalities governs the bounds of prices. Committees of bureaucrats in Brussels spend months deciding the fair price of butter and almost every other commodity exchanged in the marketplace.

Such extreme state-level intervention has become the norm. There have historically been many words used to describe this sort of government control, each associated with varying degrees of the use of military force, fear, jingoism, corporate centralization, and other facets of national culture and society. Some that come to mind are fascism, socialism, statism and Nazism. They are all fruits of the same tree— the tree of government intervention in free markets.

Why is Capitalism always under attack? Simply because powerholders and politicians must feel they have a purpose. They think that they must do something to validate actually being in power. It is unfortunate that most humans, including politicians, display an utter lack of restraint and a remarkably absent ability to simply do nothing at all.

The problem, ultimately, is not Capitalism. It is politicians’ incessant belief that they should intervene in the market and their tendency to do so with no sense of morality, no exposure to working conditions, no communication with all market participants, and no understanding of economics. When politicians do intervene, they do so with extreme prejudice, haste, and incomplete information. They are like little children playing with sandcastles, except the sandcastles are the lives of real people in the economy.

There is a better way to manage free markets and steer Capitalism. Such enlightened capitalism would involve governments protecting people from corporate interests, putting human health and wellbeing first above corporate profits, allowing market actors to determine prices on their own without excessive controls or interventions, and, most critically, allowing market actors, especially corporations, to fail when they have lost money.

None of this has been put into practice in the US, EU, or China in the recent past. Instead, veritable idiots are permitted to champion government intervention under the jingoistic slogans of the anti-capitalists.

Imagine a frog in a pond decrying fresh water entering the pond from a small stream, the pond’s water source. The frog calls for all sorts of actions to stop the fresh water from entering the pond. The frog then wants to manage the water levels, the number of lily pads, the number of crocodiles, the number of snakes, how the water exits the pond, and the list goes on. Every day, the frog calls to manage a new facet of pond life.

Inevitably, the pond would rot or dry up. Without fresh water and natural biodiversity, it would no longer be a pond. And this is the norm today—such an excessive level of state intervention that markets do not function as markets.

Successful capitalism is light-touch with defined barriers. Keep out the snakes, or at least watch them carefully and intervene to stop them quickly and effectively. Uproot the rotten plants and throw them out. Keep the water fresh. And in the meantime, do nothing.

Ultimately, capitalism doesn’t fail on its own. What some people claim as failing is simply the efficient and natural distribution of capital away from their failed ideas. And this is why the communists and statists always think it is failing— because their ideas always become stale and fail. When nobody wants the communists after the revolution to overthrow the bourgeoisie, they are simply thrown out.

88.7%* Said the NH House Should NOT Be a Paid “Professional” Legislature

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-02 12:00 +0000

Late last week, I was checking on X (still pronounced ‘Twitter’), and one of the Grok Account followers shared an update from someone who claimed that 87% of those polled thought New Hampshire should have a paid professional legislature. What would be the result if ‘Grok ran that poll?

Very likely, so we ran our first Twitter Poll on X.

 

 

Two hundred twenty-one votes on X is hardly conclusive, *but we did have a few non-Twitter users vote in comments or send them to me, so this needs an off-X adjustment. Don’t worry; it’s not election month 2020. 88.7% of all voters do not want a paid professional NH House, which is almost exactly the opposite of the alleged result that led to our poll (which was 87%). Kudos to NH Mom for Ordered Liberty—you nailed it!

But we didn’t get just votes (that would have been a very short post); we also received some interesting input that is worth sharing.

Grokster Kimberly Morin was emphatic!

Long-time Grok friend Kevin Bloom had an interesting idea.

I did reply to this. Something to the effect of, yeah, but those peebles tend to add up quickly.

Next!

More here if you are interested and thanks to everyone who voted and replied. We’ll try another poll soon (maybe next Friday, who knows).

How To Judge Mayor Ruais’ Budget

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-02 10:00 +0000

Manchester’s new Mayor released his proposed budgets (city and school) yesterday (March 28th). What matters most in the school budget is whether it completely defunds the anti-white racism euphemistically called DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion).

If it does NOT.

If it continues to fund the Communists’ indoctrination of schoolchildren, then it is an ABJECT FAILURE. It’s that simple.

I know. I know, bitter-clingers. Focus on the fiscal issue! Urban density! More workforce housing! Slava Ukraine! Slava Ukraine! New Hampshire Advantage!

Real Quick: Newsletter Changes, Your Podcasts on ‘Grok, and Other Updates

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-02 08:00 +0000

As a heads-up, we are going back to one newsletter per day instead of breaking it up into two installments. The Daily Grok will publish in the afternoon – through the evening like it used to do.

In other news, if you are on the right or pro-liberty we’d like to begin featuring your podcasts on GranieGrok. Rumble or YouTube are the easiest to share – we want to be able to embed them on our pages. This includes right-minded folks with cable-access programs, assuming we can share them here.

If you are interested, please email me at steve@granitegrok.com.

If you know of a suitable local podcast (NH, VT, ME, or MA), send me a link or contact info, and we’ll reach out.

Finally, my apologies for the delays in site updates. We are in a next-up-any-day holding pattern now—a bit like flying on standby. With any luck, it’ll just get done, and we’ll have our lighter, faster refresh online before too long.

Finally (finally), thanks to everyone for reading and commenting, and on the latter bit, I stopped running the comment of the week because no one was contacting me for their winning goodies. We love the comments, though, so please keep them coming, and when the new commenting system starts up with the new site build, we hope you’ll keep sharing and no more DISQUS acting like it has any right to moderate our community for us.

Night Cap: If It’s Urban Density You Want, Then Move To Massachusetts

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-02 02:00 +0000

Apparently, according to NHGOP “leaders” in the House, the most important issue facing New Hampshire is that there is just not enough urban density. There is a simple solution … Ross Berry, Joe Sweeney, and anyone else who wants to see (and I mean literally see) more apartment complexes can move to Massachusetts.

Then, maybe, what remains of GOP voters in New Hampshire can actually be represented by Republican State Reps who are not fixated on making New Hampshire look like Massachusetts:

It wasn’t too long ago that the NHGOP was telling us that the sacred principle of “local control” meant that “big government” in Concord could NOT prohibit school districts from imposing senseless, harmful mask mandates. Yet now they are talking out of the other side of their mouths … “local control” isn’t such a sacred principle when it prevents “multi-family” housing, i.e., apartment complexes.

Slava Ukraine! Workforce housing! Slava Ukraine! Slava Ukraine!

Garry Rayno is a Misinformation Spreader, Change my Mind!

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-02 00:00 +0000

Most Grok readers already know that In-Depth NH dot org is an enemy camp publication that routinely spews garbage op-eds, like this one, written by its “State House Bureau Chief,” Garry Rayno.

Normally, I don’t monitor its serial drivel, but his most recent article was brought to my attention because it is riddled with NTU-speak. Rayno cries “local control” as he whines about all kinds of school management-related bills and their House outcomes. To use Senator Giuda’s favorite word, “anathema,” Rayno finds individual rights anathema, and so do all of his ilk, except for one particular member of the enemy camp that he chooses to ignore.

It appears that threats of violence against freshman rep Jonah Wheeler after he took to the mic and voted correctly on HB 619 on January 4 weren’t punishment enough for practicing freedom of thought and good conscience.  Now, Rayno seemingly wants to cancel him for voting correctly on HB 1093 last Thursday!

HB 1093 is the ban on school mask policies bill that amazingly passed the House on a 187-184 roll call.  Without Jonah Wheeler’s correct vote, the victory would have been just a one-vote margin, thanks to 4(Rayno claims 3 in his article) Uniparty RINO saboteurs, Bordes, Boyd, Coker, and Wolf.  I don’t know which one Rayno is refusing to acknowledge or if he never got the news that Coker jumped ship, but they deserve to be shamed as much as Jonah Wheeler deserves to be praised.  In fact, I sent him a thank you email on Thursday and encourage all readers to do the same.

Rayno is pretending that Jonah Wheeler doesn’t exist. While I sadly doubt the opportunity would present itself, an interesting question to explore would be if Rayno would do the same to Lemonade Linda HG (also on House Criminal Justice) if she ever votes correctly on something important.  Look at her picture, and you tell me!

Mr. President, I Have Some Questions

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-04-01 22:00 +0000

Mr. President (it hurt to type that), we are getting a glimpse into the star-studded money grab you held on Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall, and I have a few questions for you.

I guess we have to congratulate you on the $25 million haul, but my first question is, what would the attraction and take have been if Barack Obama and Bill Clinton had not joined you? You must realize that Democrats will vote for the legacy of these two former Presidents and not for you, Joe Biden. Your horrendous approval rating is evidence of my claim.

The optics of this event were insulting to those of us trying to survive in the middle class. Your Bidenomics is destroying the dreams we had of a comfortable retirement after a lifetime of labor. The average income in America is $59,000, about half the $100,000 the elite paid for a picture with you, Barack, and Bill. By the way, how did you keep Hillary off the stage as she still believes she won the 2016 Election? That kind of thinking will get a Republican charged with insurrection but gets a Democrat book deals.

Stephen Colbert moderated the show and gave the first question to Joe. He asked for Biden to explain the significance of the upcoming election. Joe summed it up with the patented, though factually incorrect, line that it is all about saving our democracy. Our President should know we are not a democracy, but we digress. Biden went on to explain he did not want to run in 2020 because he had just lost his son, Beau. Beau had actually died in 2015, but Joe has to bring him up in every statement. He then told of his story about marchers in Virginia coming out of the woods, carrying torches and the Nazi or confederate flag-they were obviously White Supremacist or MAGA Republicans.

Biden should understand torch-carrying white supremacists, for he was best friends with and eulogized the late Senator Robert Byrd. Byrd was a long-time politician and held the position of majority leader during his tenure. Byrd never attended college, but was a grand wizard of the KKK before taking his policies to the Capitol. In typical Democrat hypocritical style, Biden condemns all Republicans as racist white supremacists, while his best friend in the Senate had worn the white hood of the KKK, one of the most hateful, racist, and violent gangs this country has ever known.

Over 5,000 people paid from $225 to $500,000 to see and hear the last three Democrat Presidents and the participating celebrities, including Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele. This list of celebrities shows a poor effort to pander to minorities of color.There has been so much talk about money in this election you would think that is all the election is about. The person who raises the most money moves into the White House.

Joe, one last question. What do you say to middle America after hobnobbing with the rich and famous? How do you tell them they are wrong to think your poll numbers are accurate. They just have to vote for you and allow you to finish the job of destroying our Democracy-excuse me, Republic. Then they will know why your numbers are worse than Jimmy Carter.

The Bidenistas are Bailing on Bidenomics – Not the Polices, Just the Word

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-04-01 20:00 +0000

You don’t hear the words build back better much anymore unless it’s from someone closer to the small government end of the spectrum making fun of Democrats who live at the other end. We’ve built debt and gone backward, and only the size of government is bigger (which they think is better).

Ridin’ with Biden isn’t likely to appear from the campaign basement either. Joe has no coattails; if he did, he’s likely forgotten where he left them.

Bidenomics has likewise lost favor among the intelligentsia of the tyrant class. Democrats, Media, and sundry proglodyte influencers have stopped wielding the term as if it were a badge of honor. A decline driven by – and this will be shocking to many on the despotic left – reality. The only thing rising under Joe’s economic husbandry (that of his administration) is the number of people who say they are worse off (52%). It is more than double those who say they are better off, with 26% claiming their lives are about the same (they were not asked about spying, open borders, crime, or free speech).

I suspect the numbers are worse than the public polling suggests. Why else abandon the term?

The Biden plan for job creation and growth has been to print and spend money on the government. Recycle future taxdollars today through their friends and family network (cartels and friendly NGOs) back to Democrat politicians. Real growth has been absent for a while, exacerbating the inflation bubble created by printing and spending. When it breaks, the Dems will blame everyone but themselves and try to buy you off with more inflationary policy using an increasingly worthless dollar.

Congressional Dems have also stopped invoking Bidenomics. It doesn’t make their constituents smile, so we’ll hear it more than ever from their political opponents because Democrats don’t know any other way to run a nation, and this is what that looks like. The media lies, and jobs die. If not for grow-government spending, unemployment reporting would look worse, inflation reporting would be more realistic (higher), and we would see in print and online what we feel daily.

Regime failure.

Hiding it may have helped with the 26% who think life is about the same (they must not do their own grocery shopping), but more Americans are feeling the pain that comes from unshackled Democrat rule, but at least we know what to call it.

Bidenomics. It’s Obamanomics but worse.

Trojan Horses in our (NH) House?

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-04-01 18:00 +0000

The ancient story of and lessons about the Trojan horse should not easily be forgotten.

The Trojan horse was supposedly a large hollow wooden horse constructed by the Greeks to attempt to gain entrance into Troy during the Trojan War. The Greeks, pretending to withdraw from the war, sailed away from the entrance to Troy, leaving behind the horse as a supposed offering to the goddess of war that would make Troy impregnable. Despite various warnings by respected elders, the horse was taken inside the city gates. Later that night, Greek warriors who had been hidden inside the horse emerged and opened the gates to let in the returned Greek army, with the unfortunate outcome predictable for the Trojans.

The ancient story is told at length in the Aeneid and is mentioned in the Odyssey.

The term “Trojan horse” has come to refer to subversion introduced from the outside.

Fast forward to the present time.

We have, in the past year, seen the spectacle of a longtime left-wing Democrat from Meredith (nominally a Republican-leaning district), who ran for and was elected as a state representative as a proclaimed Democrat, change his party registration to Republican more than a year after his election, thereupon becoming loudly welcomed into the state’s Republican party by its chair and into the Republican caucus (the otherwise confidential meetings of the Republican representatives in which positions and strategies are discussed) by the House “majority leader,” notwithstanding the longtime prior history of the “New Republican” supporting and advocating for leftwing and non-Republican causes. Talk about inviting an enemy into your house.

How did this guy ever get elected as a Dem from Meredith, which usually leans Republican? Although he was opposed by an excellent Republican in the general election, he probably prevailed because of a lack of turnout by actual Republican voters. Elections do have consequences.

At least one commentator from the district in question opined that Matt Coker’s change of political party was probably done principally to try to enhance his chances of re-election since the district from which he comes usually votes Republican. There is likely to be a much larger Republican turnout in the general election this year, in which the presidential contest brings out voters who might otherwise stay home in droves.

In reality, merely having an “R” by one’s name on a ballot has become essentially meaningless- intelligent voters as well as the so-called “leadership” of the House and of the NHGOP must look behind the labels to see the true nature of an individual.

In these days, with the numbers of Dems and Republicans in the NH House nearly evenly divided, there seems to be much too much focus on the pure numbers of persons claiming to be Republicans versus individuals with true convictions. It may seem to be great when “leadership” is able to proclaim that it “has the numbers” on any House session day before votes are to be taken, but when some of those “numbers” are actually RINOs who do not vote as real Republicans, “having the numbers” becomes worse than meaningless.

So, how has our “New Republican” done in the General Court so far?

Check his voting record. On many recent critical bills in which Republican principles and platform issues were enunciated and involved, such as prohibiting compulsory masking in schools, he voted with the Democrats and other RINOs. He has frequently allied himself with Belknap’s RINO-in-chief, Rep Mike Bordes. So, Coker’s self-described label of being a Republican is, in reality, meaningless.

Will we ever learn?

MONDAY MEMES

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-04-01 16:00 +0000

Take heart – there will be both a Wednesday and Friday Edition.  Last week’s Friday Edition.  And if Israel is a topic of interest, there’s always my latest Israel-related post.

  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.

Is Joe Biden Out Of Touch, Out Of Control, Or Simply A Fool

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-04-01 14:00 +0000

It is ironic and appropriate that this post hits on April 1, April Fool’s Day, because what Joe Biden did on Easter Sunday can only be the act of a fool.

Biden, who claims to be a Roman Catholic, stood by and first, allowed the White House Easter Egg Decorating competition to be bastardized into a generic pop art show, and then, rather than wishing American Christians a Happy Easter, took the opportunity to declare Easter Sunday the Transgender Day of Visibility. He insulted and belittled millions of believers to pander to the 1.6 million adults who identify as Transgender.

Participants in the Easter Egg competition received specific restrictions. There were to be no submissions that were political (no MAGA eggs), questionable content (very subjective), or religious symbols or themes. The Democrats are religious deniers when it comes to Christianity or Judaism but not when it comes to the Muslim faith. They have minimized the Easter celebration to a Bunny holiday and forbid any reference to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If not for the belief that Jesus rose on the third day, there would be no Easter. That has no impact on our Roman Catholic President, but then again, he also believes in abortion and transgender rights. Biden should never see the inside of a church again. 

Somebody then confessed to Joe that it was a good idea to declare March 31, Easter Sunday, as the Transgender Day of Visibility.

“Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans … You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back,” President Biden said in the March 29 proclamation while boasting of appointing “transgender leaders” to his administration and ending a ban on transgender people from serving openly in the military.

Joe Biden, who has declared war on the middle class, went on to boast about the accomplishments of his administration to make life more accessible to transgender people. He pointed to his efforts to create “more inclusive passports” with an X as the “gender” marker.

That “X,” Mr. President does nothing to address the suicide rate of trans people that is twice the national average, the regret that many trans people have as they seek surgery to reverse their conversion, or the intense level of depression that trans people live in. But the bottom line is why is this proclamation necessary, and why disrespect a billion Christians around the globe by denigrating the holiest of days on the Christian calendar? 

Harmeet Dhillon hit it the nail on the head: “Isn’t every day at the Biden White House ‘Transgender Day of Visibility?'” wrote Ms. Dhillon, who also serves as vice president of the Republican National Lawyers Association.

“To deliberately insult Christians on this holy weekend is gross and evil,” she added.

Gross and evil, two perfect words to describe the Biden Presidency. He has destroyed our sovereignty, made America less safe, and stalled our economy, evaporating the retirement dreams of elders and the hopes of young families. To compound the damage he has done, he wants four more years to finish the knockout of America. Let’s give him the ten count and send him to retirement.

Sen. Shaheen Credits Making Everything Cost More with Saving Granite Staters Money

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-04-01 12:00 +0000

In a recent email newsletter update, Jeanne Shaheen, the Federal Debt Queen, credited herself with “Working to Save Granite Staters Money on Energy Costs.” Don’t be surprised when I tell you that hers is the fiscal equivalent of tossing another cinderblock to someone who is drowning.

In the Inflation Reduction Act, I was proud to help secure millions for New Hampshire to adopt modern building energy codes. If the state were to adopt those codes, families could save hundreds of dollars each year on energy costs. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened yet and with the state at risk of leaving this money on the table, I will keep fighting to ensure Granite Staters can save money on their utilities.

Let me see if I get this right.

You are bankrupting our children and grandchildren, devaluing everyone’s savings and retirement, driving up inflation, and burdening home and business owners with more regulations to lower energy prices that your energy policies made more expensive?

Really?

If you’d just stayed out of the way, energy prices would be lower, inflation would be lower, and life would be easier and more affordable. We wouldn’t be subsidizing through debt energy projects that make energy cost more, which makes everything, including the cost to run any size government, cost more.

As it turns out, the US Government might be the second biggest emitter on the planet after China. It certainly wants to be. Not coincidentally, one of the faster ways to save granite staters money without spending other people’s money is to shrink the meddling government that created the problem you now brag about trying to solve.

If you want to help, stop creating expensive problems that cost even more to pretend to fix (and only make everything worse). We’d be in better shape if you did nothing.

Adam Sexton … Mouthpiece For The New Hampshire Democrat Party

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-04-01 10:00 +0000

Adam Sexton wants you to believe that people voting WITHOUT ID is not a problem in New Hampshire. More specifically, some NHGOP have been pushing back against the absurd notion that “the right to vote” means the right to vote without showing valid identification … so here comes Adam to rescue the Woke-Communists (oh, so sorry, of course I meant “Democrats”). Adam Sexton is a propagandist, a mouthpiece for those Woke-Communists calling themselves the New Hampshire Democrat Party.

Adam has proof … PROOF … that people voting without ID is not a problem: only two people did so in the Presidential primary. That is because the ONLY really contested race was the GOP race and the GOP do NOT cheat like theDemocrats Woke-Communists do. In other words, the primary was NOT Democrat versus Republican and, therefore, proves nothing. Adam is a propagandist/mouthpiece for his fellow Woke-Communists.

Night Cap – Op-Ed In Support Of Kelly Ayotte for Governor

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-04-01 02:00 +0000

As we all know, Kelly Ayotte is running for Governor to keep NH Safe,Prosperous, and Free. That is why I support her 1000%. Her accomplishments include being the first and only female NH Attorney General, who was also reappointed Twice. She was also Deputy AG, Top murder prosecutor, US Senator, and the list goes on and on.

I am writing today to tell you why I support her. She is the only candidate with the fire in the belly for the job. Kelly loves our State, and she looks forward to getting up every day and fighting for us. Plain and simple, she is our only chance for NH in 2024. Other candidates dodge very simple questions, campaign in basements, or follow around a certain candidate seeking their endorsement.

We want to thank John O’Blenis III for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

Kelly’s campaign has been crisscrossing the Live Free or Die State nonstop since it launched last July. We are indeed only one election away from turning into Massachusetts, drive south past our state border and walk the streets of a sanctuary city if you dare! The damage Joyce Craig or Cinde Warrington as Governor would cause our State would be unimaginable for us, our children, and our grandchildren’s futures.

As our next Governor, she will fight hard for increased funding for our State Police to stop the fentanyl that is killing our people due to the Biden regime’s open borders. She will be tougher than tough on the northern border and illegals. Kelly will advocate for extreme changes to our current bail reform law that right now allows dangerous criminals back on our streets faster than the officers can fill out their paperwork. Under Kelly Ayotte, the only people calling NH their ‘ Sanctuary’ will be tax paying law abiding citizens. Join me in supporting our next Governor.

Nicole Shanahan, RFK Jr.’s Bad Choice for VP

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-04-01 00:00 +0000
RFK’s weak VP choice hurts his and EVERY third party’s potency. Nicole Shanahan, at only 38, exemplifies the marquee trifecta of badness for an independent candidate:

  • tied to big tech spying
  • lawyer for wealthy corporations
  • donor for statist politicians.

“Wealthy Donor” has an ostensible niceness, but most of her wealth comes from sleeping with rich men.

The three indented characteristics mildly resemble the worst presidential candidate of our lifetimes, one Hillary R. Clinton.  And they sunk her — with more incoming political, legal, business, and international experience than the three prior incoming presidents combined (Obama, Bush 43, and Bill Clinton). Hillary’s lack of genuineness was perturbing, and her elite background could not shore her up.

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

Ms. Shanahan will have an even harder time gaining any “down home” likeability.

There’s at least seven ways out.  All are temporary blemishes on Mr. Kennedy, but would be extinguished in a few weeks.

1) “I’m not ready for this, and would do a disservice to stay in the race.”
2) “My child needs me”
3) “I’m being threatened by the Democrat establishment’s actions” (already tangible since they continue to deny her running-mate secret service protection.)
4) “I can dutifully help Mr. Kennedy once a hefty Republican decides he can no longer stay with Trump.”
5) “I can marshal the support if Independents better from the sidelines.”
6) “I can be Mr. Kennedy’s best recruiter of cabinet members, judges, and executive appointees, any one of whom is more important than the VP”.
7) “A great successor, Larry Sharpe, from a principled party, the Libertarians, will be more effective in a campaign than me, especially in NY and its surrounding states.”

All are long-standing GOOD reasons to respect Ms. Shanahan in the future.   She can be a member of RFK’s cabinet.  She could realistcally run for Governor in 2030.   The second is diminished if she is seen as the one who brings Mr. Kennedy down.  And the first is impossible, because he cannot win with her as his VP nominee.

My video comments on Shanahan are here.

Dartmouth College and Basketball Unions

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-03-31 22:00 +0000

A 2014 court case ruled that the NCAA violated antitrust laws by prohibiting college athletes from commercially cashing in on their sports skills, the way pro athletes have long done. The NCAA was ordered to pay plaintiffs and attorneys over $42 million.

If musicians in a State University band could market their music skills and earn endorsement income, then why not athletes on the State University football team?

The court case opened a door for college “student-athletes” to empower themselves. Athletes receiving sports scholarships could plausibly claim to be paid employees.

Inevitably, players would attempt to organize and unionize. But who’d have expected that Dartmouth College men’s basketball players would be the first to do so?

An Associated Press piece datelined “Hanover, N.H.” reported that in February, a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board ruled that Dartmouth basketball players were employees, clearing the way for them to vote to unionize. The players then voted 13-2 to join the Service Employees International Union Local 560.

Another New Hampshire first. A college basketball union.

Solidarity, ahoy!

But the normally “progressive” Dartmouth administration balked. For one thing, these players supposedly aren’t receiving basketball scholarships in accordance with Ivy League custom, policy, and tradition.

“Given Dartmouth’s decades-long commitment to athletics as an extension of our academic mission, we believe the regional director has made an extraordinary mistake in finding these students are employees,” the college claimed in a statement, calling the players “students whose educational program includes athletics.”

Dartmouth asked for a review of the NLRB regional director’s decision by the full board.

“From a procedural standpoint, if the full NLRB refuses to overturn the regional director’s decision, Dartmouth’s only remaining option to challenge this legal error is to engage in a technical refusal to bargain, an unprecedented step in our long history of labor negotiations,” the school stated. “This will likely result in SEIU Local 560 filing an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB, which we would appeal. This is the only lever Dartmouth has to get this matter reviewed by a federal court.”

Is American labor pioneer Samuel Gompers rolling over in his grave?

If the courts uphold the NLRB regional director’s decision, then it will be very interesting to see how this plays out. What other colleges will follow suit? If players seeking to unionize get cut from teams or see reduced playing time, stand by for lawsuits citing unfair labor policies. What if coaches don’t treat all union members “equitably?” What if there is a Wildcat strike? (Yes, I’m looking at UNH, which does award hoop scholarships.)

More work and more money for lawyers.

The Dartmouth story is an interesting subplot to college basketball’s March Madness.

Or April Madness.

Dartmouth has actually played in two NCAA championship games. Then known as the Indians, the Dartmouth hoopsters lost to Stanford and Utah in the 1942 and 1944 finals, respectively.

In the 1950s, Rudy Larusso starred for the Indians in Hanover before becoming an NBA All-Star with the L.A. Lakers.

But Dartmouth’s hoop fortunes have since waned.

This past season saw Hanover’s aspiring labor pioneers finish last in the Ivy League with an overall record of 6-21. Unions do have a reputation (fairly or not) of sometimes stifling initiative and achievement.

Perhaps the Big Green (née Indian) hoopsters will fare better in the law courts as opposed to the basketball courts.

Solidarity, ahoy!

Fleets of EV Trucks Are an Impossible Dream

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-03-31 20:00 +0000

California has led the nation in a climate-saving push for EV tractor-trailer trucks to replace diesel power. Fiction eventually runs aground on reality, in this case, the economic, environmental, and scientific facts that the California Legislature ignored when it implemented impossible mandates for gleaming fleets of EV trucks.

Despite glowing visions of clean power, transitioning the nation’s semi-fleet to EVs could simultaneously bankrupt the country financially and the Earth environmentally.

The Golden State’s ambitious 2022 regulatory mandates require all new cars, trucks, and SUVs sold in the region to produce “zero” emissions by 2035. Many states have followed suit, adding massive federal subsidy carrots and EPA tailpipe emission sticks. The illusion that these vehicles create “zero” emissions is rapidly dissolving as the environmental impacts of manufacturing and disposal are considered. Even if EVs were climate-saving rather than climate-destroying, the economic and logistical limitations of these fantastical mandates guarantee there will be no comprehensive EV truck fleet in California by 2035 – and probably never.

A Sisyphean Plan

California’s hasty collage of environmental policies falters on several inconvenient but insurmountable truths. The electric grid cannot handle the load. The input materials required to comply with the mandates cannot be procured. The astronomical costs are economy-destroying. And when the true expenses of externalized pollution are calculated, EV trucks do not measure up to the promised environmental gains.

The nation’s electric grid, a necessary infrastructure to charge the new EV semis, is fragile, insufficient to carry the additional burden, and competes with other growing demands for electricity from data centers and renewables manufacturing facilities. Energy is required to source and mine the material to build the trucks, energize them on the road, and break them down to reclaim the materials at disposal. Heavy batteries reduce truck-carrying capacity, meaning many more EV trucks are required to replace an equal fleet capacity of diesel vehicles – more trucks, more energy, and more clogged freeways. If actually achieved, California’s plan would increase electricity demand just for EV trucks by an estimated 57%. A single truck charging station is predicted to draw as much electricity as 5,000 homes.

The manufacturing inputs necessary to construct imagined EV trucks were apparently ignored when California lawmakers decided to run the economy by fantasy. Much like mandating universal incomes without economic resources, EV truck fleets cannot be magically created from thin air and a rosy pipe dream. A study by the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) suggests that implementing California’s plan nationally (as envisioned by the Biden administration and the multi-state regulatory push for implementation) would require “tens of millions of tons of cobalt, graphite, lithium, and nickel … that would take as much as 35 years at current global production rates and nearly 65% of global reserves of these minerals.” That’s a lot of mining and transportation – the rare earth industry had better get truckin’!

Unaffordable Diktats

Economic reality is mathematically grounding despite vain technocratic visions. The costs of all those rare materials mean the price of an EV truck is approximately double that of a traditional semi and the per-mile energy cost once on the road. Truck fleets operating on slim margins will have to spike rates sharply just to break even. Rates for all electric customers will skyrocket precipitously: The California Public Utility Commission increased electric rates for the state’s largest utility by 13% in 2023 (half of the 26% revenue increase requested by the utility to meet infrastructure needs).

The inflationary impacts of this EV truck boondoggle have gone unconsidered, but the impacts on consumers will be enormous. To install the charging stations for EV trucks alone would cost the nation an estimated $35 billion. Perhaps California will incur that debt to augment its current massive deficit, but the US deficit is already bloated by the oxymoronically monikered Inflation Reduction Act, which was largely a grocery list of renewable energy and EV spending projects. The fact that non-renewable, coal-plant-dependent, polluting EVs are profoundly regressive and disproportionately burden working-class Americans does not bode well for economic health.

EV Trucks Have No Clothes

The list of insurmountable realities that evaded California’s naked emperors in fashioning pie-in-the-sky EV truck mandates demonstrates that ideological whimsy, no matter how sincere, cannot overcome reality: The impossible fantasy pollutes more than it saves.

A 2023 study by the Manhattan Institute determined that EVs require far more upfront emissions to manufacture than conventional vehicles, that many modern gasoline-powered engines emit very little particulate matter, and that EVs burn through tire rubber much faster. These problems are amplified when applied to trucks (or tractors). The ubiquitous cacophony that EVs necessarily reduce carbon emissions is in serious doubt. The study notes:

“Accurately estimating the actual quantities of specific fuels used is complicated by the labyrinth of global suppliers and the lack of transparency with many of the companies. Without knowing all that, no one knows the ultimate real-world emissions from making an EV…

“The realistic potential of 43 tons of upstream emissions combined with operating realities of 24 tons of downstream emissions (over a vehicle lifetime) yields a total of 67 tons of EV CO2. This is 15% more than the 59-ton baseline for a comparable gasoline-fueled SUV.”

The inconvenient paradox of California’s mandates for EV trucks is that they likely do not spare the planet more carbon dioxide – let alone the toxins spewed from mines, the lithium batteries with no plan for recycling or disposal, the flickering electric grid, or the plunging of the marginalized into deeper marginalization.

It is to be hoped that in view of the myriad real-life impediments blocking their best-fantasized plans, EV emperors will glance in the mirror and pick up some fig leaves.

Normalizing The Abnormal … Bill Clinton And Judge Walton

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-03-31 18:00 +0000

Yesterday (March 28th), the Biden-Regime held a “record-breaking” fundraiser … $26 million … for the PINO, President-In-Name-Only Joe Biden’s reelection, starring the de facto President, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton. And not a word by the Regime-Media about the multiple times Bill Clinton has been credibly accused of sexual assault by different women.

Nor any word about Bill Clinton’s sojourns to Epstein’s island.

In a normal country Bill Clinton would be politically toxic. In the Police State of America, he is a rock star. The Left has succeeded in making the abnormal normal. I know … I know … “focus on the fiscal issues” … “workforce housing” … “New Hampshire Advantage” … “Slava Ukraine!”

The Regime-Media has carried water for the Clintons for decades. A new and perhaps even more ominous development is a sitting federal judge going on CNN to attack Donald Trump and this judge’s totally unprecedented, unethical conduct being “reported” as proof of the danger posed by Trump.  War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.

Open your eyes, bitter-clingers. America is neither a Republic nor a Democracy. It is a corrupt Police State that holds sham elections and pretends that the abnormal is normal.
