Greed and Fear was published in early 2018. The author, Derek Galanis, an Uber insider into the criminal underbelly of “underground financiers” and fraudsters dating back to the mid-1970s, states that his book is “all true.” Essentially, it is his plea deal allocation before sentencing to federal prison. Has Congress deposed him? We want to ... Read more
Kamala Harris has been a prosecutor, a statewide district attorney, and vice president. Each position claims to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and yet, you have to wonder if Kamala Harris has ever read the document. She certainly has not gotten to the section called The Bill of Rights because she has no ... Read more
Happy Labor Day! Last week’s Friday Edition. Also, my very recent actual essay-essay (about which I’ve been getting some good comments privately): Revisiting Hashem’s Wisdom – Granite Grok 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 ... Read more
In Hosea 4:6 of God’s holy scriptures, He tells the people of Israel that they are “destroyed for lack of knowledge,” indicating both the priesthood and the people have forgotten His law. America’s decline from the greatest national power has followed a similar path, forgetting His eternal truth: “Where the spirit of the Lord is, ... Read more
One of the risks of writing about hurricanes a day before the content is published is that they can form in the interim. This has happened to me before, but not so much this year. That’s odd. All the indicators suggested a knock-down drag-out storm-a-palooza of a season. It has yet to materialize only days ... Read more

Today is my 1,400th article published and consecutive day writing, and I wish I had something more upbeat to opine on. Unfortunately, in these crazy upside-down times, we have much to be upset about, and positive stories are yearned for. The Chinese cartel illegal marijuana enterprise continues to evolve, and the two newest elements should ... Read more
If you care about children, Medicaid and the economy, you won’t be voting for John Stephen for the Executive Council. Mr. Stephen was head of DHHS when extreme child abuse was taking place at the Youth Detention Center (YDC) and in other state youth facilities. The taxpayers are now on the hook for damages from ...

It is no secret that Vice President Kamala Harris is trying to reinvent herself in the very short time before the election. This process is a tri-fold dilemma. In a poll taken the day after Joe Biden was knocked down and out of the campaign and Kamala quickly took his spot, 25% of those asked ... Read more
Neither Mike Bordes nor Travis O’Hara should be allowed to go back to Concord, and while they’d be better than most Democrats, you’d actually have to show up for that to work, which makes this rather amusing. Bordes wrote an Op-Ed for the Laconia Daily Sun, pimping O’Hara as prepared and present for County Delegation ... Read more
The University of New Hampshire released a poll (The Green Mountain State Poll) on how Vermonters feel about the economy, taxes, and the high cost of living. While an overwhelming majority of Republicans think it stinks and is getting worse, and a majority of Independents tend to agree, 25% of Democrats said, “Nah, things are ... Read more
Accumulated over several days and it grew too big for a meme post. Before I dig in, please do see Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow. And my latest non-meme/non-link, actual essay-essay: Revisiting Hashem’s Wisdom – Granite Grok >>>>>=====<<<<< 2024: WOAH: Far-Left Presidential Candidate Cornel West Says Kamala Bribed Him to Drop Out, Offered Him a Job and ...

By Tom Mullen | Mises Wire – During election years, incumbent presidents are routinely blamed for every societal ill during the previous four years. And almost nothing is riper for the picking than a significant rise in consumer prices. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), prices are currently increasing at a rate of ... Read more
Another special interest group, Citizens Alliance, has released a legislative scorecard today. Like others that the Grokster known as “Spike” has said I’ve “gone scorched earth on,” this group is no different. There are 68 reps in their “good standing” category. Of those 68, 18 are enemies of 91A. Without further delay, here they are: ... Read more
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (PPNE) has been complaining for months about how it won’t make as much money as it likes—a “shortfall,” they call it. The response is to threaten services and whine about the political climate in a part of the country where states enshrine a right to their services into their ... Read more
Sadly, we have to drive the point home every day that this woman is trying, and perhaps successfully, to fool a nation into thinking that she is anything else than what we know from her time in politics. In the words of Kamala Harris, “Let’s get one thing clear: I am not flip-flopping on every ... Read more
Human dreams of predicting the future have a special playground in forecasts of market prices. Whether the market is tulips, pork bellies, stocks, real estate, or cryptocurrency, the urge to know the future direction of the economy is as ancient as bartering. A question facing Americans in 2024 is whether that desire to influence the ... Read more
I watched Kamala and her sidekick, Tim, and felt my blood pressure rise to where I probably needed medication but not the insulin that Harris thinks all seniors are on. She loves to talk about bringing down prescription prices, but it is only insulin that she points to, and it was Donald Trump who initiated ... Read more
The DNC Convention was a COVID-19 super-spreader event. Reports suggest almost everyone who attended knows someone who contracted COVID-19 at the convention. They’ve been sharing their woes on social media along with images of positive tests. Please excuse my Shadenfrued, but the most “mRNA-vaccinated” collective of human flesh on planet Earth can’t stop telling us ... Read more
Monday was the first day of school in Vermont, and this weekend, we celebrate Labor Day – two milestones at which point voters, so says conventional wisdom, start paying attention to politics.
