Manchester, N.H.
It is clear from the energy and enthusiasm that Tulsi Gabbard is determined to halt the destruction of our republic by feckless Democrats, and she’s making a serious effort to rally the troops and send real leaders like Don to DC. It is equally clear that the Democratic Party tried to destroy her in 2019/ 2020, and it’s time to return the favor (words borrowed from Elbert Guillory, but so appropriate)!

Here’s some above-the-fold climate news you may have missed. Something that the Left would consider as life in a womb was probably wiped out on Mars because of climate change.
The new theory comes from a climate modeling study that simulated hydrogen-consuming, methane-producing microbes living on Mars roughly 3.7 billion years ago. At the time, atmospheric conditions were similar to those that existed on ancient Earth during the same period.
But instead of creating an environment that would help them thrive and evolve, as happened on Earth, Martian microbes may have doomed themselves just as they were getting started, according to the study published October 10 in the journal Nature Astronomy.
Let’s unpack that.
First, climate modelers can’t seem to get one damn thing right with the atmosphere in which they live. What are the odds they have a clue about one that (depending on the day) is between 35 million and 250 million miles away?
Better, worse? I’d go with worse.
Second, lots of ‘life’ outside the womb has been wiped out by changes in climate. The earth’s history is tumultuous and includes all extremes of weather. The recent calmness that has allowed humans to thrive and survive is the exception, not the rule, and neither modernity nor CO2 was responsible.
Third, I get what you’re trying to do. Look at barren Mars. If we don’t pick the pockets of working families to fund researchers and favored (but useless) energy projects, the earth will end up like that. It’s a lovely image, and I bet the theory is already making its way into the public schools, so future generations are prepared to accept socialism as their god and savior (and hey, let’s not be like Mars).
Ironically, socialism (by which they mean Marxism) as a political system is probably the fastest way to make you wish you lived on Mars. It is everything they don’t tell you and nothing they do.
No change in the political climate has ended more life than the Marxist bent. But, before that happens, there is crime, penury, and all the benefits of the police state and a two-class system that won’t tolerate individual rights of any sort or group rights unless the group is the Marxists – and they make all the rules, most of which don’t apply to the people in charge.
The model suggests that the reason life thrived on Earth and was doomed on Mars is because of the gas compositions of the two planets, and their relative distances from the Sun. Being farther away from our star than Earth, Mars was more reliant on a potent fog of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen, to maintain hospitable temperatures for life.
So as ancient Martian microbes ate hydrogen (a potent greenhouse gas) and produced methane (a significant greenhouse gas on Earth but less potent than hydrogen) they slowly ate into their planet’s heat-trapping blanket, eventually making Mars so cold that it could no longer evolve complex life.
The moral of the story is that you can’t live to save your life, so Marxism (or is that Marsism?)
I’m still going with no to all of it.
Like I said in the opening, these fools and their models can’t predict the weather this week on this planet; I have zero faith that their “models” can do much elsewhere unless, by “else,” you mean create scenarios that justify their paychecks at other people’s expense.

The city of San Jose, California, is about to begin fining gun owners for not carrying the liability insurance that the city requires them to have.
That makes it a good time to revisit where this leads.
Spoiler: Taken to its logical conclusion, the reasoning behind the ‘San Jose Doctrine’ leads directly to the end of programs like Medicare, Medicaid, public schools, Social Security, government-guaranteed college loans, and so on.
As the saying goes: Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it — good and hard.

One of the problems with being the party of “Democracy,” as Democrats claim they are, is mob rule. Democracy is the tyranny of the 50.01%. That’s why we live in a Republic which Democrats hate. They’d rather be more like China (or Russia), and speaking of Russia, Britney Griner might be in for more trouble.
Griner was busted, arrested, tried, and convicted of violating the laws of Russia. I’m sure that’s a very selective process, unequally applied, with the same filters applied to progressives here in the United States. Laws are for little people if you have the right last name or party affiliation – and you have not embarrassed leadership. Hunter Biden comes to mind.
Brittney Griner is not little. She’s quite tall but” little” enough to Russia. And despite her disregard for the American flag or our national anthem after a career criminal died of a self-induced overdose in police custody, Russia decided to enforce a law. Traveling into the country with a hashish oil vape nestled in your designer luggage is illegal.
She was “tried,” convicted, and sentenced to nine years in some form of detention, which may now include a Russian labor camp. They are not nice places if the travel literature is to be believed. And no path to freedom appears forthcoming.
The party that promised to elevate our standing in the world is not presently on speaking terms with Vladimir Putin. We’re sort of kind of at war or on the brink of nuclear war with Russia, which predecessor Donald Trump, while often accused, never managed.
The likelihood of a conversation about a prisoner exchange seems thin.
Griner’s wife is despondent, but you have to admit it’s ironic.
Griner got a reputation for hating America for celebrating a drug criminal who overdosed, and here she is, a drug criminal, in the People’s Republic of Putinstan, at risk of detention in a forced labor camp.
I wouldn’t wish it on anybody, including someone dumb enough to bring hashish into Russia but wouldn’t it be ironic if they made her clean up debris from those “peaceful protests” put on by the Russian military in occupied Ukraine?
It’s just a thought.

This campaign season has been a gruesome and dirty event. The process has become more personal and untruthful in the last decade. Still, Biden Democrats have nothing positive to campaign on, so the attacks, lies, and misinformation have been barraging us in the mail, texts, and media ads. Abortion and personal attacks are all the Dems have in their quiver, and they are out of arrows. If this election is not a significant gain for Republicans, we may need an investigation.
One of the issues that may haunt Republicans is the quality of some of the candidates. Hershel Walker is a cult hero for sports fans in Georgia, but that does not equate to a strong candidate. Maggie Hassan should have been an easy gain for the Red, but General Bolduc was low on funds, and it took weeks after the primary before we saw Bolduc ads on the tube. Hassan had tons of money and an equal amount of lies and mistruths. The race is a draw, and the stretch run should be interesting. The one extremely frustrating race is the Pennsylvania Senate Race. A stroke victim with many communication challenges may win this critical seat. Dr. Oz has had to spend too much time defending himself, which took away from the issues. The attention to Fetterman’s health and criticism of anyone mentioning it has masked the Fetterman policies, which should have been enough to disqualify him from the Senate.
This election should have been a test of Biden’s first two years which have been dismal. The focus should have been on the economy, crime, and the Border. The Democrats did all they could to stay away from the key issues. Instead, they wanted to make it about Women’s Rights, LGBTQ Rights, the Climate, and gun control.
NextGen PAC released the following statement. It outlines the issues that are paramount in the minds of Gen Z:
“We are dedicated to investing in efforts to help elect these candidates and fighting against the extreme agenda of the GOP, which would end access to abortion, block gun safety legislation, reverse climate protections, and endanger the LGBTQIA+ community. Every seat is critical in the upcoming election and we will use our collective power to elect lawmakers that truly reflect and represent the most diverse generation in American history.”
Democrat insiders are bracing for defeat. They claim they peaked too early, spending far too much money on the abortion issue. Even in Blue New York, there are projections of Republican wins for House seats. This is not an election but a core change. The Democrats are realizing that they have gone too far with their Progressive policies and the Republicans know they better come out ready to govern. It is time for candidates on the Right to get specific. They rolled out a vague plan for America, but now it is time to bring the meat.
The Democrats have given Republicans a golden opportunity. By allowing the Radical Left to become too powerful and electing an old, feeble, and ineffective President, they played their hand and came up bust.
One thing is for sure, we have to repair the divide first because repairing the country will take both sides. Joe Biden did his best to dismantle America. How long will it take to put the pieces back together?
The post It’s Crunch Time and the Left is Sucking Wind appeared first on Granite Grok.
The Left’s all-in abortion argument is about killing newborns. That’s what they are running on (at least, here, in New Hampshire). The right to kill a baby at birth. But almost no one but the far Left thinks abortion should be permitted in the third trimester and certainly not during birth. So, the Dems are pivoting…into a hole.
Related: NH Democrats Confirm Support for “Post-Birth Abortion”
To Democrats, women’s health is about conception to live birth abortion. Anything less is you or the government getting between women and their doctors. But you don’t need a doctor in New Hampshire to perform an abortion. Hairdressers are more highly regulated. Almost anyone can do it, and there are no reporting requirements to document who did what to whom. Oh, and you should pay for them!
We could easily say that Democrats don’t want the government to come between you and your landscaper, plumber, accountant, hygenist, nurse practitioner, or anyone, and health care. But that’s another lie. They want the government to come between you and everything except (they say) women’s health care (also a lie)
But here we are (in NH) with a reasonable 24-week drop-dead date for abortions that most of the world embraces, if not sooner, and the Dems are ranting about how extreme that is. They won’t stand for anything less than abortion up to birth, but no one agrees with that, so they must couch the details in a lie.
Hello COVID!
Yes, we’ve traveled this well-worn road before, but this is essential stuff. When Ann Kuster, Maggie Hassan, or Chris “Norovirus” Pappas flap their yap about extremism and health, it is immediately negated by their behavior during the so-called pandemic. And it is up to us (yes, you) to push back.
When they say Republicans are extreme on abortion, ask them, so as a supporter, how do you think live birth abortions should be performed? Hey, if you’re good with this, what’s the most humane way to end it? Chemical execution like they do with condemned criminals or pull a Kermit Gosnell and cut their spinal cord at the neck?
What are your thoughts, Mr. Ms. Ze or whatever Democrat Abortion supporter?
I’m expected to explain my support for capital punishment. How is this any different, except for the lack of evidence, criminal charges, a trial, and a verdict of one’s peers?
What if they were born that way, but you sanctioned their execution ala abortion? Does that qualify as anti-gay bigotry? Are you guilty of a hate crime? Is the mother eligible for reparations? Are you going to make me pay them?
When the coming between doctor and patient rears its two-faced head, ask why that doesn’t apply to doctors who think FDA-approved drugs are best for their patients with COVID. How come the government can get between women and their doctors then? Why isn’t that hypocritical or contradictory, and now more than ever, after two years of human test trials on hundreds of millions of recipients?
There are better ways to protect and treat people, but the government keeps getting in the way.
They might swear and call you names or change the subject, but you keep them on point. And make sure, especially if this is on social media, to screengrab things regularly as they are likely to disappear or you are likely to get banned or blocked.
Nothing says tolerance like a Lefty bailing on an argument they can’t win, especially regarding women’s health care and abortion.

We’ve shared a few highlights from Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake. She’s a priceless gem in the GOP field and fearless. She doesn’t pander to Left-Wing narratives like some Republicans we could mention. Today’s installment is a gut shot to the Left’s “republicans are election-deniers narrative,” and it’s brilliant.

She’s running for governor so much like the 2016 presidential election, the media must cover it. Kari is not wasting the opportunity. She uses these events and moments to poke holes in the approved narratives and to expose the elites for who they are – hypocrites and liars.
And she makes it look easy (which it is), so why do so many Republicans struggle to expose the progressives for who they are? In most cases, it means they want to be like them or liked by them so they can get a seat at the kiddie table in the Dems DC.
Ms. Lake has no such aspiration…yet. It’s early, but her career appears bright should she win the governorship in AZ.
Here she is, taking down the Dems on election denial.

This is how the world ends. This is how the world will end. This is how the world is ending. Not with a bang but an Oh well.
My elderly friends — and myself, for that matter — are ready to take “the demise pill.” We don’t see any chance for improvement. We remember a good life with scads of hope in it. We assumed our progeny would have an even better world, but now it seems there is no chance. It’s gone (or rapidly going). We are saying, “Oh well.”
It appears to be impossible to turn things around. How can one alter a situation when one can’t contact the hidden monsters who have wrecked the place? We can’t even have an honest chat with our fellow sufferers, as they appear to be in a trance! Darn.
I was lucky today to peruse a September 6, 2022, article written by Colin Todhunter, which rehashed an article by Michael Hudson. Let me summarize it third-hand. Those two critics hypothesize (actually, they out-and-out declare) that the US hegemon does all kinds of things to maintain world hegemony. Currently, the US is undermining the strength of Europe and Russia to keep them from moving toward China. At every citizen’s personal expense, of course.
The US impoverishes the Third World also by giving it the means to increase the output of agriculture via machines and chemicals that then become more expensive. And those crops are for export! Nations, and individuals, are now hopelessly in debt — to a few banks and the IMF. And let’s not forget the way local police worldwide are becoming militarized. Hmm.
I mention those particulars only to convey the fact that it is difficult to compete with the Big Guys who operate with great coordination planetwide and who control the militaries of most countries! My purpose here will be to inventory various ways of knocking down this hegemon. As I said, it feels hopeless, but I am conversant with the intellectual approach, so let’s run it.
Parasites
Sociobiologist EO Wilson defines “parasite” as a predator that eats less than one unit. Not like a bird that kills a mouse and consumes it, but like a parasite in your stomach that lives off your innards. “Hegemon” is a Greek word meaning leader; it’s used to indicate one nation dominating others — subtly or blatantly.
For his 1985 book, The World Order, Eustace Mullins gave the subtitle “A Study in the Hegemony of Parasitism.” His book is about the great heist accomplished by bankers circa 1910. He says they are parasites. I will adopt that concept here. So just as a doctor might try to figure out how to get the parasites out of your stomach, I will inventory any “medicines” I know of that could relieve us of the bank crowd’s hegemonic fixations.
Remember that I am operating today with a personal eye on the demise pill. So the following is (allegedly) just a heuristic exercise.
Imagine ten ways that we could kick the parasites off the throne. I mean, out of our stomachs. Or whatever. The first two ways can be disposed of in one sentence each since I’ve elaborated on them many times elsewhere:
Ten Ways
1. Get’em by applying the law — both to punish them and to stop their activity.
2. Get them out of our legislatures, where they put clever details into laws that enable their big schemes.
3. Don’t do anything. Let the forces of man and nature work it out. (Presumably, this will entail much cruelty and destruction.). That will frustrate the parasites as soon as they realize their prey are becoming scarce.
4. Smoke them out. Sure, the bankers have henchmen galore. They have a henchman in every pot. But not every henchman is 100% brainwashed. Shakespeare, who had no illusions, wrote, “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” Even parasite bankers have to sleep at night.
5. Build up religion. I know from Negro spirituals, which are great music that faith in God pulled the US slaves through difficult times. I envision “God” as everything we believe in, that comes under the heading “morality.” Religion also makes for a strengthener against an enemy. “God said we should do this…” Pow!
6. If it’s impossible to get at the big guys, get the low-hanging fruit. If you punish them good, this will make the uneasy crown-wearers even more uneasy. It also will also send a message to other low-hanging fruit. They will whisper to one another “Are we really in the right business?”
7. If you do get a biggie (Henry Kissinger if he is still alive), stay your hand form the paddle or the gun or anything. Just administer sodium amytal or scopolamine, aka truth serum. Or use hypnosis. “Look at this pendulum. You are getting sleepy, sleeepy…” If his lawyer says that’s against the Fifth Amendment, tell him not to worry about amendments. This is quite possibly the world’s biggest outlaw that has ever been captured. He has codes that we need to elicit. Make nice with Hank.
8. Encourage birth control, seriously. Put a moratorium on births. I say this, as a way to prevent a more violent way to kill off the tribe. It will be too difficult to live in a civilized way with ten billion individuals. We are not built for it. Be pro-life — save humanity.
9. Design a kind world. Even if it does not look practical. Maybe it’s eminently doable. Check Philip Allott’s 2016 book “Eutopia” (and Law professor Allott is, believe me, no slouch). Today we see kindness slipping away. Why? Just because some jerk parasites have to have their stupid way?
10. Meet up locally as a set of elders plus youth. Teach one another. Ask the public to say what they dream of as a good life. Then declare your authority to speak for the group.
As Terese Grinnell once said: Amen.

Beginning at 8:30 Eastern Time this morning, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will meet for two days. One of the items on their Thursday agenda is adding the COVID-19 Jab to the childhood immunization schedule. Every kid would need to get the juice.
Related: Harvard and Johns Hopkins Report the COVID Vaccines are More Dangerous than COVID
I know, not ever kid, but public schools or activities or groups at schools could expect them if they are on the schedule.
But wait. The data clearly shows that kids who have not received a COVID-19 vaccine are not a vector for infection or spread. Every state has the same results. The same information tells us that the unvaccinated under 20 age group rarely needs hospitalization and rarely dies from COIVD. It’s rare.
The over-the-counter medication works fine if needed, and other FDA-licensed drugs are available if OTCs are not enough.
So why put these emergency-use medications on the Children’s immunization schedule? Liability. The FDA and CDC can never officially authorize the mRNA Covid inoculation because someone could sue them or the pharmaceutical companies if they did.
You can’t make informed consent if you are not fully informed, and they don’t want to admit that these are neither safe nor effective.
Putting them on the childhood schedule grants liability protection even against an adult who receives the vaccine.
ACIP isn’t considering this to protect kids. It is doing it to protect the FDA, CDC, NIH, NIAID, Big Pharma, and everyone in between who hinted, suggested, cajoled, nagged, or demanded you get one.

A fundraising breakfast was hosted by Cathy and Eric Park at Nashua’s historic Duck Pond House. Eric introduced Tulsi, who described very vividly the dangers to our country and Constitution posed by the current administration that the Democratic Party. She encouraged other patriotic and disaffected Dems to join her in leaving the party ( #WalkAway on steroids), and emphasized the need to send real leaders like Don to Washington. Don gave a great speech, too. The whole thing is only 23 minutes, and well worth your time.
Not on camera, but asked and answered at the event: How did Tulsi and Don get to be working together?
It turns out, that as vocal critics of the failures of current military leadership and the dangers it poses to the nation, both of them had become supporters of Lt Col Stu Scheller, and as they talked, Tulsi came to learn more about Don from other service members and chose to support him. Her breakaway from the party has freed her to support and endorse good leaders like Don to turn congress around.

Do you know why Maggie Hassan doesn’t have to campaign and do more than a handful of debates? Because she has Adam Sexton and the rest of New Hampshire’s regime media to campaign for her.
The policies that Hassan has supported since Biden was sworn in as President have DECIMATED our retirement savings. The values of our IRAs and 401Ks have dropped between 25 percent and 30 percent.
Yet Sexton and the rest of the pro-Hassan media never talk about this … never talk about how people are having to delay retirement and in some case come out of retirement. Instead, they allow Hassan … as she is doing below at one of the handful of “debates” in friendly forums she is willing to do… to pose as a champion of retirees and near-retirees, and lob false claims about Bolduc. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the “fact-check” from Sexton and his ilk … they are NOT journalists. They are Democrat-activists:
New Hampshire’s seniors rely on Social Security and Medicare. I will always work to defend and expand these programs.

You walk into a room and notice that a picture is hanging crooked. You…
The correct answer is “C” but partial credit can be given to anybody who writes “It depends” in the margin of the test or simply blames the whole stupid thing on “Marketing.”
SOCIAL SKILLS
Engineers have different objectives when it comes to social interaction. “Normal” people expect to accomplish several unrealistic things from social interaction:
In contrast to “normal” people, engineers have rational objectives for social interactions:
FASCINATION WITH GADGETS
To the engineer, all matter in the universe can be placed into one of two categories:
(1) things that need to be fixed, and
(2) things that will need to be fixed after you’ve had a few minutes to play with them.
Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems. Normal people don’t understand this concept; they believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.
No engineer looks at a television remote control without wondering what it would take to turn it into a stun gun. No engineer can take a shower without wondering if some sort of Teflon coating would make showering unnecessary. To the engineer, the world is a toy box full of sub-optimized and feature-poor toys.
FASHION AND APPEARANCE
Clothes are the lowest priority for an engineer, assuming the basic thresholds for temperature and decency have been satisfied. If no appendages are freezing or sticking together, and if no genitalia are in plain view, then the objective of clothing has been met; anything else is a waste.
DATING AND SOCIAL LIFE
Dating is never easy for engineers. A normal person will employ various indirect and duplicitous methods to create a false impression of attractiveness. Engineers are incapable of placing appearance above function.
Fortunately, engineers have an ace in the hole. They are widely recognized as superior marriage material: intelligent, dependable, employed, honest, and handy around the house. While it’s true that many normal people would prefer not to date an engineer, most normal people harbor an intense desire to mate with them, thus producing engineer-like children who will have high-paying jobs long before losing their virginity.
Male engineers reach their peak of sexual attractiveness later than normal men, becoming irresistible erotic dynamos in their mid-thirties to late-forties. Just look at these examples of sexually irresistible men in technical professions:
Female engineers become irresistible at the age of consent and remain that way until about thirty minutes after their clinical death. Longer if it’s a warm day.
HONESTY
Engineers are always honest in matters of technology and human relationships. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep engineers away from customers, romantic interests, and other people who can’t handle the truth. Engineers sometimes bend the truth to avoid work. They say things that sound like lies but technically are not because nobody could be expected to believe them. The complete list of engineer lies is listed below.
“I won’t change anything without asking you first.”
“I’ll return your hard-to-find cable tomorrow.”
“I have to have new equipment to do my job.”
“I’m not jealous of your new computer.”
FRUGALITY
Engineers are notoriously frugal. This is not because of cheapness or mean spirit; it is simply because every spending situation is simply a problem in optimization, that is, “How can I escape this situation while retaining the greatest amount of cash?”
POWERS OF CONCENTRATION
If there is one trait that best defines an engineer it is the ability to concentrate on one subject to the complete exclusion of everything else in the environment. This sometimes causes engineers to be pronounced dead prematurely. Some funeral homes in high-tech areas have started checking resumes before processing the bodies. Anybody with a degree in electrical engineering or experience in computer programming is propped up in the lounge for a few days just to see if he or she snaps out of it.
RISK
Engineers hate risk. They try to eliminate it whenever they can. This is understandable, given that when an engineer makes one little mistake the media will treat it like it’s a big deal or something.
EXAMPLES OF BAD PRESS FOR ENGINEERS
* Hindenberg.
* Space Shuttle Challenger.
* SPANet(tm)
* Hubble space telescope.
* Apollo 13.
* Titanic.
* Ford Pinto (with Firestone 500 tires).
* Corvair.
The risk/reward calculation for engineers looks something like this:
RISK: Public humiliation and the death of thousands of innocent people.REWARD: A certificate of appreciation in a handsome plastic frame. Being practical people, engineers evaluate this balance of risks and rewards and decide that risk is not a good thing. The best way to avoid risk is by advising that any activity is technically impossible for reasons that are far too complicated to explain. If that approach is not sufficient to halt the project, then the engineer will fall back to a second line of defense:
“It’s technically possible but it will cost too much.”
EGO
Ego-wise, two things are important to engineers:
* How smart they are.
* How many cool devices they own.
The fastest way to get an engineer to solve a problem is to declare that the problem is unsolvable. No engineer can walk away from an unsolvable problem until it’s solved. No illness or distraction is sufficient to get the engineer off the case. These types of challenges quickly become personal—a battle between the engineer and the laws of nature.
Engineers will go without food and hygiene for days to solve a problem. (Other times just because they forgot.) And when they succeed in solving the problem they will experience an ego rush that is better than sex— and I’m including the kind of sex where other people are involved.
Nothing is more threatening to the engineer than the suggestion that somebody has more technical skill. Normal people sometimes use that knowledge as a lever to extract more work from the engineer. When an engineer says that something can’t be done (a code phrase that means it’s not fun to do), some clever normal people have learned to glance at the engineer with a look of compassion and pity and say something along these lines: “I’ll ask Bob to figure it out. He knows how to solve difficult technical problems.”
At that point, it is a good idea for the normal person to not stand between the engineer and the problem. The engineer will set upon the problem like a starved Chihuahua on a pork chop.
Enjoy your week!

ISO New England keeps saying they think the grid will be stable this winter, but they are lying. What the hell else would they say but we don’t have the energy infrastructure or the energy, and it’s a failure they’ve known about for a while—one which is almost entirely the fault of the political Left.
Related: Winter is Coming: Is It Time for New England to “Pay” the Green Energy Piper?
We’ve been on this story for years, but it’s been getting a lot of play on national sites because it’s a huge frikkin’ problem no one wants to take seriously.
The region faces a power crisis every winter because its power grid relies on NatGas and lacks pipeline infrastructure for domestic flows. Over the years, NatGas pipeline infrastructure has been delayed, blocked, or abandoned, which means the region’s power-grid operators have to compete in international markets for supplies.
One major problem is that power producers have limited NatGas storage facilities and lack pipeline capacity reserved mainly by utilities serving homes and businesses. Power producers procure a portion of supplies with fixed-price agreements and mostly rely on spot markets.
“Anybody who is depending on the spot market for their natural-gas supply is probably going to have a pretty significant sticker shock,” said Tanya Bodell, a partner at consulting firm StoneTurn who advises energy companies in New England.
That’s where we are.
Europe is screaming for Natural Gas, prices are skyrocketing, and our only backup is tankers from around the world and paying a huge price for that if we can get it.
Why?
The region’s power mix changes have left it increasingly reliant on international NatGas spot markets. State governors have asked US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to waive the Jones Act and allow foreign-owned tankers to ship LNG from the US Gulf region.
All of this has led to New England residents facing some of the highest electricity bills in years. Heating season is already underway.
Our so-called “leaders” wasted time, money, and energy on going green when they should have directed it at bringing in reliable electricity and domestic natural gas. Instead, we got protests from (primarily) the Left and almost no pushback from the right. The result is a confluence of problems that, given the global energy situation, will be bad come January when it gets cold and strains our fragile grid.

Idiots. By which, I mean Democrats; don’t vote for them and vote them out of office. That means our most vulnerable voters to whom the Left so often appeals. You’ve been beaten down with inflation, high food prices, unaffordable gas, and electric rates, and now this. Democrats are leaving you out in the cold. Perhaps you should return the favor (politically).

My other working title was “It just never stops, does it? The Government continued imposition of a secular humanist religion on our young’uns”.
From that Font of School District Woke Virtue Signaling (that would be the Hanover School District SAU70) comes this via their school newsletter. Once again, we see Government School Educators willingly bend (if not entirely break) the strict definition of the word “inclusive” to really mean “only those things that fit our secular humanistic ideology you peons call Woke”. Actually, it’s the old Political Correctness on meth driving a Tesla in Ludicrous mode on the sidewalks of a crowded street- and it is quite happy to run we Normal people in trying to beat their belief system into us (yeah, that First Amendment crap is just no longer worthwhile for us).
And here’s the person who delightfully gave us more grist in determining that all of our beloved traditions and holidays must be swept away in their crazed movement to “decolonize” the rest of us: Lauren Amrhein the Principal of the Bernice Ray School (elementary). Here’s the snippet of her Newsletter that someone got real angry about that proves what I’ve just written and sent to me – that “inclusive” really means “we’re going to take things away from your children that you approve of celebrating – because we don’t“.
Sidenote: *I* do get the chance to watch The Grandson participate in the annual Halloween Costume Parade that our elementary school has hosted for decades. The teachers dress up, generally with an overall theme, and all the kids are happy and having a good time showing off in their costumes.
Which leads to another thought – and this District shows that Wokeness is nothing more than a dressed up Buzzkill. In this case, for kids. Gee, thanks, Principal Amrhein, you became this for Halloween:
(that’s a Halloween version of The Grinch That Stole Christmas, if you couldn’t tell)
OK, enough of that, Skip – get to the point(s):
Halloween Guidance for 2022
During COVID, we moved away from school wide Halloween celebrations, parades, and gatherings. The original decision was made due to health concerns during the pandemic, but we used this time to further reflect on the motivation and objective of celebrating Halloween as a whole school.
Last year we examined Halloween through an equity lens. We decided to begin to move away from costume parties, electing to promote a spirit day over a Halloween costume day. While some students wore costumes for part of the day, others wore certain colors or even participated in a pajama day. We also reduced the overall time consuming nature of Halloween parties in the school and classroom, opting for low key social time and smaller engaging activities.
Low key most likely suppressed any gaiety (can I even use that word without offending yet another Identity Group on the Democrat Political Totem Pole? You know, someone will get offended when they don’t know its real definition – like niggardly that serves only as a word for faux outrage now (but means “Like a niggard; sordidly parsimonious or sparing; close-fisted; stingy: as, a niggardly person.”). Oh, is “totem” still available to a white senior citizen anymore to speak? Or is that “cultural appropriation? How 1984ish…
This year we are fully pivoting away from the celebration of Halloween. Rather than centering a celebration on Halloween, classrooms have been encouraged to think about celebrating learning, community, and the time of the year. What we promote at Ray should be inclusive and consider all students and staff.
Inclusive – I guess seeing all students and staff in costumes with smiles and gales of laughter is no longer inclusive – but I do wonder WHO gets excluded? Those that like our history, norms, and customs as they are? Why does the esteemed Principal wish to oppress people like us (the Woke NEVER think that there are two sides of their Woke marginalization efforts).
That’s the SECOND time she’s used that, “equity lens” idea. Note, however, she doesn’t define it. She just ASSUMES that all people reading this know what it means already? Isn’t that, itself, rather exclusive? All that word salad that basically, in the end, means nothing at all.
Now, I make it clear that I’m just a simple guy but would SOMEONE PLEASE translate that for me? I thought kids rollicking in costumes was, by definition, “positive interactions” and included everyone? What POSSIBLE inequities does such a special day create? Did she ever think about the inequities SHE is creating by NOT have such?
Sorry, Principal, but now you are quashing a culturally responsible event and you ARE excluding a large group of students that DO celebrate Halloween. DISCRIMINATION!
And what about those that reject her worldview? Oh, worldview? Aren’t there lawsuits that prevent “worldview discrimination” when pushed by agents of the Government?
This is certainly a departure from past practice but one that considers all students. This is not to say that celebrations and fun are a thing of the past, but rather that we continue to think about the objective and thoughtful purpose of the celebrations. A perfect example of this is our recent Dot Day that celebrated an important inspiring message, a connection to learning and community, and was accessible and purposeful for all students and staff.
“but one that considers all students”, Sure And we see, in this newsletter, the continued replacement of Normal customs and events with new Woke ones – “Dot Day”? Just move current traditions into the mists of time and LOOK! A replacement that focuses on something else more inline with the new secular humanist – the celebration of Self. Or, rather Selfishness. And I’ll be happy to ‘mansplain it (a wee jab at PCism there) to her.
For those that celebrate Halloween, we hope you have a wonderful, safe time during celebrations in the community outside the school. Thank you for your understanding and support of all of our Ray School students and families. May we continue to find joy and reasons to celebrate in ways that support all while we learn and grow together.
Deconstructing society. Telling little kids that they can’t enjoy themselves. I loved that “reduced the overall time consuming nature” bit – I’m betting they didn’t save even a second over their “opting for low key social time and smaller engaging activities“. And what were they engaging in – that we may never know but I’m betting that dress-up and candy and “BOO!” had nothing to do with it. Perhaps a somber soliloquies on respecting the dark spirits, ghosts, and goblins and how Halloween oppresses them as a marginalized community?
It never stops, these Evangelists for Self. As Nitzkahon has said, they are not educators, they are missionaries and they don’t care what YOU are teaching them for a moral foundation. As that long dead German said:
We don’t care about you. We have your children.
And these Public School educators may not think about it that way because they are incapable of empathy from even trying to see from another viewpoint.
Equity. The tool that these Self-Righteous, Ego-driven Jr. High Hall monitor snobs use for the “marginalization” of we that don’t believe; you’re using equity as a hammer with which to bash everything else. As many of commented upon in the blogosphere, they have become the New Puritans with a strict fundamentalist (yes, a religious term, that) dogma about Right and Wrong, they’re own set of Sacred Texts/Scriptures and dogmas that must be always followed to reach Heaven/Nirvana/Valhalla – oh, oopies! They don’t believe in a Life Hereafter, so they just make your life suck and then you die.
Here it is in one fell swoop instead of my fisking mode:

The Economy should be the number 1 issue in the Midterm Elections in 21 days. There is no energy crisis in the White House as the President continues to gaslight the American people.
The polls show that this approach works for 21% of Americans who believe we have a strong economy. These people are as out of touch with reality as the President and every one of his feckless surrogates. I use the term feckless a lot to describe this Administration because I vow not to use profanity in my posts. These people are idiots. There is no other explanation. They occupy their positions because of diversity and not competence.
Everyone with a wallet or purse knows we are already in a recession. We don’t need two-quarters of negative growth. We do not need to see how negatively impacted our 401k’s are. We do not need to know the total on the gas pump or the receipt at the grocery store. We just need to look in our wallets or purse where we used to have some cash the day before payday. That surplus is long gone; hopefully, that is a word we can use for Democrat incumbents…Gone.
How appropriate that we have a President sucking on an ice cream cone in Portland, Oregon, as he is telling us how strong our economy is. With milk and eggs over $5, no money is left to take the family to King Cone! If he were right, maybe we could all afford a waffle cone. The President’s team took to the Talk Shows on Sunday and did their best to feed the minds of the 21%. These people do not have free-thinking minds. They operate strictly on what they are told. They are not capable of formulating their own opinion. That would take far too much effort.
These people tried in vain to make the Administration’s case. They have nothing substantive, but that does not stop them from trying. The most inept of the bunch is Mayor Pete. He is marched out every time a talking head is needed. If anyone tries to confront his line of thinking, they will be shrugged off as anti-gay, and nobody will care about the content.
The economy is in shambles. The Administration continues to blame Trump for giving them a weak economy and saying that the rest of the world is far worse off than America. Neither is accurate, and the facts prove that. We are in a recession. Not one of Putin’s doing or because of the war in Ukraine. It is wholly on the shoulders of Joe Biden and his horrendous economic policies.
The economy is in such rough shape that no Democrat candidate will run on its merit. That is why the airwaves are full of Abortion ads or Reproductive Rights, as the Left calls abortion. Abortion and personal attack ads are what the Left is running on, which is why the momentum has swung to the right, and the Dems are in trouble. The Left is not motivated to turn out for midterm elections. In three weeks, the Democrats may be lucky to get anyone but the 21% to vote and 21% will not get it done.

A few years back, supervillain Bill Gates proposed a solution to the made-up problem of global warming. What if we block the sun? You spray tiny sun-reflecting particles into the atmosphere. What could go wrong? How about the Biden Administration funding the research?
Related: NASA says the Solar Minimum is Here. Climate Cult Says Meh, No Big Deal (But It Probably Is)
The research plan will assess climate interventions, including spraying aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight back into space, and should include goals for research, what’s necessary to analyze the atmosphere, and what impact these kinds of climate interventions may have on Earth, according to the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy. Congress directed the research plan be produced in its spending plan for 2022, which President Joe Biden signed in March.
It sounds like another laundromat converting your hard-earned and increasingly worthless dollars into pay and benefits for political “friends and family.”
Is this research happening in Ukraine, by any chance? I’m asking for a friend.
And if you do this, could you at least devise a clever name? How about the Ministry of Shade? As in throwing it at the planet, people you’ve labeled climate “deniers,” whoever.
And please tell me you’re doing the work in some secret underground lair like the one I attributed to Gates when he backed the idea.
Where technicians and guards wearing matching uniforms (with different colored stripes) hurry along roughly hewn tunnels to do his bidding.
Chrome and glass, women in ecru mini dresses with matching boots. It’s not as nice as Jeff Bezos,’ but it will do.
Seriously.
Harvard professor David Keith, who first worked on the topic in 1989, said it’s being taken much more seriously now. He points to formal statements of support for researching sunlight reflection from the Environmental Defense Fund, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the creation of a new group he advises called the Climate Overshoot Commission, an international group of scientists and lawmakers that’s evaluating climate interventions in preparation for a world that warms beyond what the Paris Climate Accord recommended.
To be clear, nobody is saying sunlight-reflection modification is the solution to climate change. Reducing emissions remains the priority.
In other words, even if spraying dangerous toxins into an atmosphere we clearly don’t understand worked (at the beginning of a decade’s long-estimated-grand solar minimum), you’ll still need to give up the comforts of western civilization.

Natch!
We’ll all benefit from a colder planet with fewer fossil fuels. If that’s inconvenient to lesser mortals, so be it. And that fits their agenda, but I doubt Biden’s 5-year plan (yes, it is a self-admitted 5-year plan) will do more than turn tax dollars into campaign donations.
The only climate they are the least bit interested in changing is the one where you might vote them out of office.

What legal actions and legislative actions might be appropriate? I mean, let’s just shoot the breeze, chew the fat, whatever—nothing official. Bet we’d be the first in the nation to buckle down to the new reality.
Perhaps I’m the only chick in the nation who can talk about the Balmis Expedition of 1804, which was also a vax genocide.

Folks coming from Manchester use Exit 14. My email is MaxwellMaryLLB@gmail.com.
Just to show you the pablum we are up against, the website www.stateattorney.org stated this (pre-SHTF):

“Knowingly infect.” You’ve said a mouthful, DoJ!

The big news in bad news today comes from everywhere but originates at Boston University. Some doctors at BU, with nothing better to do, engineered a COVID variant with an 80% kill rate in mice. As soon as the animal rights folks get done being pissed about the dead mice, they’ll probably cheer!
Related: Depopulation Progs Aren’t Transing Your Kids Out Of Empathy
The Left and its many axe-grinders are high on depopulation, which is – as far as I can tell – the only reason to take a few buckets of money and spend it on re-engineering an engineered flu virus that would succeed where the original failed. BU claims their strain would wipe out 80% of the lab rats.
If you’d like a headline on that bit of “progress,” here are a few that found their way to my inbox yesterday.
Why?
Well, there’s a midterm election in a few weeks that the Left would like the mad scientists to stop. That aside, why would someone do something like this? Read the abstract from the research.
We generated chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2 encoding the S gene of Omicron in the backbone of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 isolate and compared this virus with the naturally circulating Omicron variant. The Omicron S-bearing virus robustly escapes vaccine-induced humoral immunity, mainly due to mutations in the receptor-binding motif (RBM), yet unlike naturally occurring Omicron, efficiently replicates in cell lines and primary-like distal lung cells. In K18-hACE2 mice, while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80%. This indicates that while the vaccine escape of Omicron is defined by mutations in S, major determinants of viral pathogenicity reside outside of S.
They appear to think the plan was to determine why Omicron was so easily spread, especially among the vaccinated.
Maybe it would have been a better idea to research how the vaccine made people more susceptible to infection, transmission, hospitalization, and death. That might make sense. But no, you create a version of COVID19 (Is this COVID22?) that is more dangerous to everyone (if dying mice are any indication).
In the name of public health, yes? Just like the previous version.
And not for nothing but if it leaks like the “wet-market bat virus” in Wuhan, do you care how many people of color or Democrats it kills you, gay-hating, racist bigot?
And while we’re on the topic of narratives (not my best segue).
Is this a good time to clear up something else that is still muddying the waters? Conservative pundits must stop saying that the original boring old lab-engineered COVID (and its offspring) killed millions.
Not to pick on Jeff Kuehner, but he must have said it a half dozen times during my short commute to work today, and it’s not just him.
Stop. Doing. That.
COVID did not kill millions. The public health industrial complex/political response killed millions.
If the bulk of the population had amped up their vitamin D intake and had access to abundant and affordable Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, millions of lives would have been saved, not just from COVID.
Hospital treatment protocol killed many. The COVID vaccines killed many. Substance abuse and suicide related to COVID policy killed many.
The vaccine is killing many due to side effects, and its recipients are more susceptible to COVID than the unvaccinated. And maybe that’s the problem BU set out to solve.
You know, kill them all and let God sort them out. Of course, they probably don’t believe in God, so there’s that.
[Update]: BU now says it didn’t create a killer strain of COVID.
The research, which recently took place at a level 3 biosecurity lab at BU, was probing why the new omicron ba.1 variant was better at evading immunity to previous versions of the virus, specifically the strain that first appeared in Washington state in early 2020.
BU researchers created a chimeric virus by combining an omicron spike protein — the piece of the virus that binds to human cells — with the 2020 form of the virus.
So you created a virus, “We generated chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2 encoding the S gene of Omicron in the backbone of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 isolate…” and that virus “inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80%.”
You took Omicron, which causes little to no disease, and combined it with the original version of COIVD, killing 8 out of 10 mice. And that’s not creating some sort of awful killer variant of COVID?
Were you looking for a way to kill mice? No. You were trying to understand why Omicron is so contagious. So, you took a contagious strain Mice resisted and mated it with one that makes them very sick and boom. Nothing to see here.
Okay, sure. Let’s run with that. But saying it was approved by Boston Public Health and NIAID only makes matters worse.
The post On Weaponizing COVID at Boston University and a Narrative That Needs to be Kneecapped [Updated] appeared first on Granite Grok.
The FBI, CIA, the Justice Department, the House, Senate, and the Executive Branch are all guilty. With nearly every branch dirty somehow, who do we have to clean up this mess?
This collective mess is not only embarrassing, but it is also dangerous, as our National Security has been damaged, and we have a compromised President. As each day goes by and the plot thickens, we wonder how deeply the cancer has gone. Our government is broken. It has been dysfunctional, but corruption is a different problem.
The Left spent the last seven years working endlessly to destroy Donald Trump. They started their assault during the 2016 campaign, continued throughout his Presidency, and are working now to ensure he does not play a role in the 2024 Election. Many investigative journalists showed proof of tainted cases against Trump, but the government and media looked away. Now the three-year-old Durham is starting to come up with the same facts these reporters had, and the CIA, FBI, and Justice Department are all looking as guilty as the Clintons are on their good days. Fabricated evidence, pay-offs to known liars, buried evidence, and whistleblowers coming forward indicate our Intelligence departments need to be dismantled and buried or rebuilt. The Mueller investigation is entwined in this sordid situation.
We have a Democrat Senator being driven by a Chinese Spy and a member of the House sleeping with one, and neither has been held accountable for any security breach that may have occurred. Neither was even removed from sensitive committees. Nothing to see here. Move along.
And then, we have the Biden Crime Family. For over a decade, Joe Biden, his brother, Jim, and Joe’s son Hunter have been shaking down foreign governments, officials, and companies for millions. Starting when Joe was Vice President, Hunter has been the point man for the cartel, getting paid for shadow jobs and taking money in exchange for access to his father, the VP and now President. Under investigation for months, we have laptops, emails, pictures, witnesses, and bank info showing how dirty Hunter and his family are, but, like Capone, the government may be satisfied charging the President’s son with tax violations and call it a day.
Not so fast there, my friend. The people and the Right are not ready to shut the door on the mess. That is why the election in a few short weeks is so important. While the Left is obsessed with January 6 and burying Trump, should the Right take the House, expect to see a lot of Hunter Biden in various House committee sessions. At least in these videos, he will be dressed, not smoking some drugs, and not be surrounded by naked women. He may get undressed by angry Republican Reps who want answers.
This story cannot be kept quiet any longer. It will be ugly as the layers are peeled off the onion, but the depth of this corruption has to be uncovered. The damage must be evaluated, and a plan formulated to correct the problems. Hopefully, these are not the circumstances that believers of the Constitution feared. Our forefathers feared we would not be able to keep this Republic intact. Are we at the point where it has been destroyed from within?
