One that isn’t a scaredy-cat of getting involved in the contentious and fractious Culture War that now, on this battlefront, has co-opted Government (“Public Schools”) into aligning itself with the Democrat sexuality agenda of our children against Parents.

While I could not go to the Presser myself, Grok Friend Tom sent this along:

The context of this concerns Policy 100.1 in the Manchester School District which tells its staff to lie about the Transgender status of their child. Recently, the Maggie “The Red” Hassan appointee Judge in the case, Amy Messer, ruled that Parents do NOT have any legal say in how their child is educated in Manchester Public Schools. The translation is that “this child is OUR child, NOT yours, while they are in our building.  But feel free to think your child is your child at any other time.   I’ve been fighting this for almost two years in Gilford.

We’ve heard this before from other non-free countries built on the notion that The State (country) owns its subjects and not the American notion that we are a free people that happen to have a Government.  She confirmed for me that my long-term meme is true:

The Bigger the Governor, the smaller the citizen

When your child is no longer YOUR child, the Government has become too big.

Karoline has taken a lot of knocks for being too young, not having a voting record, and hasn’t “risen through the ranks”. Well, she’s doing something that FEW Republicans, especially the “old dinosaurs” ones, have done – taking on this issue with a smile, determination, and grit.  They abhor getting “their hands dirty” in things other than budgets and taxes; she doesn’t limit herself to those topics. She knows that the Democrats have taken their War right against families and expect them to just accept them.

She’s also quick on her feet, especially on the question asked by WMUR’s Adam Sexton.

She realizes that our fight HAS to be her fight as well – I like that style.

GraniteGrok endorsed her in the Primary Election.

Fortunately, we are still at a place where we can come together to put the pieces back together after a weather catastrophe. Hurricane Ian has dominated the news cycle for the last two days, and that is a blessing within the tragedy.

The attention is focused on minimizing the loss and evaluating what is needed to get back to normal as soon as possible.

As we spent the last few days watching the track of the storm and trying to project its target as the storm makes landfall, it has become clear that we are powerless when it comes to Mother Nature. She holds all the cards. Even with all of the sophisticated equipment, we really have no idea what will happen until the day after. No meteorologist is ever wrong as they recap the impact of a vicious storm. The best we can do is prepare as best we can and pray.

The bottom line is Americans love each other despite political leanings. When our brothers and sisters have been hurt, we are there to do what we can to ease the pain. Over thirty states are coming to the aid of the good people of Florida. Most of these states did not feel a gust of wind or a drop of rain, but they are ready to dip into their wallet or get into a truck to deliver aid. This is America at its finest. This is America at its purest.

Governor DeSantis has been in the spotlight for the last few days and has performed with the level of excellence we expect from our leaders. He has communicated well, was ahead of the storm with preparations, and has been quick to direct assistance to the areas that need it the most. He has been able to get the Federal government to recognize the need to declare emergencies to free up relief funds. Progressive or Conservative was not part of the equation. Americans were in need, and the government was there to do what they were designed to do; hold the safety net.

The weather does not discriminate on any parameters, but it does take its most significant toll on the weakest of society. The elderly and the poorest among us have taken the most significant toll. The elderly are the most difficult to relocate in the path of a deadly storm, and the poorest do not have the means to move anywhere. This is why these two categories will see the highest percentage of devastation and fatalities. Notice this has nothing to do with race, just age and wealth.

The next few days will be crucial as the devastation is identified. There will be some that lose their lives and others that will need years to recover. As with any situation, there will be people striving to make money on the backs of others who are suffering. The storm will pass, but our efforts to help have to have staying power.

The best part about the news blackout of every other story is we did not have to focus on Vice President Harris declaring we are aligned with North Korea or the President of the United States making a major faux pas yesterday. President Biden on Wednesday asked a crowd if Rep. Jackie Walorski, who died in a car accident last month, was in attendance at a White House event. These are our leaders. The storm will fizzle in time, but when it does, we will still be stuck with Biden and Harris…..how lucky are we?

But calling the Hanover Police on an HHS student?  This was sent to GraniteGrok by a Hanover parent (“In case you missed it from our good Commissar, er Principal….”) – somebody’s a bit nervous?  Read the construction of this email:

From: Julie Stevenson <julie.stevenson@dresden.us>
Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2022 1:13 PM
To: Joseph C. Anderson <Joseph.C.Anderson@dartmouth.edu>(“”)
Subject: Tik Tok: Here we go again!

Good Afternoon-

We wanted to take a moment to address the recent Tik Tok about Hanover High School made by an organization based out of state and not with the school. We have seen the Tik Tok and have been made aware of some of the responses both from Hanover High students and others not from our school community.

The maker of the Tik Tok asked administration if they could put their table in the building and they were informed that the only tables we allow in the school are those that are student initiated or related to post secondary opportunities.

Because of our memorandum of understanding, we have made the Hanover PD aware.

There are many good lessons here about freedom of speech, social media, truth in reporting and constructive and destructive dialogue. Please use this opportunity to talk with your families.

Have a nice afternoon,

HHS Administration

I was struck by a number of things in that email:

• made by an organization based out of state and not with the school

Note she didn’t even mention the “organization” – that would be Turning Point USA (“TPUSA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote freedom.”)an organization that is in direct opposition to the Woke construction in effect in the District. Gee, what side of the political spectrum uses “outside agitators” a lot?

• and others not from our school community

Yep, we’d be part of that “community” that’s not THEIR “community”.  Yet, like Martha’s Vineyard, these Progressively based schools are always touting their own horns about being “inclusive” until they run up against someone that needs to be excluded.  Once again, we see the “definition inversion” these folks are infamous for!

• Because of our memorandum of understanding, we have made the Hanover PD aware

I reviewed the Hanover High School site/policies and the only references that would have any attachment to that statement were:

The only mention of school policies covering this are: Behavior Expectations: https://hhs.sau70.org/hhshandbook/student-policies/behavior-expectations Threat Protocol:  https://hhs.sau70.org/hhshandbook/safety-protocol/threat-protocol Only the latter speaks to calling the Police.  I’ll have to wait to get confirmation that Hanover Police was actually called by HHS (necessary as we had a case where Democrat State Reps said they called the Merrimack Police against us for “threatening” and an RTK issued by Susan Olsen proved that the Rep making the claim was lying – I think the police chief enjoyed (seriously enjoyed!) letting us know that no such thing had happened and NO police police protection was ever activated. The Rep never thought we’d check – and she got angrier.). But one has to ask “how is setting up a table a physical threat?” sufficient to call the police?  Antifi (like at Dartmouth College), sure. But someone with TPUSA – conflating US Constitutions with violence? Well, we all know what the Woke think of that notion.

• There are many good lessons here about freedom of speech, social media, truth in reporting and constructive and destructive dialogue

This, THIS is the la creme de la creme of the entire email. So which side is Freedom on – the constructive or destructive side of “dialogue”. Add to that, please tell me, how does Destructive dialog square, EVAH!, with Freedom of Speech?

Sorry Ms. Stevenson, but your ideology just shown brightly.  There is no Hate Speech (jumping ahead here) as Freedom of Speech PROTECTS that speech that others find offensive or that other famous Leftist adjective “Hurtful”. Sorry, Free Speech exists to make sure that Government (that would be you as an agent of the Government as Public Schools are nothing if NOT Government) doesn’t restrict the liberty of its citizens.

And just throwing out the phrase “truth in reporting” went without any context at all.  The fact that you aren’t telling the entire truth when compared against the video has some of us going “so what context did you mean “truth in reporting”? Which reporters from which outlets?  What did they get wrong?  Did they lie?

But that also brings up the converse – why are you leaving so much out of your email, leaving to the readers imagination that perhaps something nefarious is going on that ruins the HHS ideology Narrative?

Just a casual question for the Principal – what IS the Proper Role of Government?  It’s an easy one to answer – if you’ve been reading GraniteGrok. Tell me, what did the curriculum for your Social Studies class inform your students what the right answer was?

She also doesn’t mention, at ALL,  the posters that were highlighted in the video.  Why did you run away from those in email – nary a mention at all. Why not? And why not mention that Deborah Bacon Nelson, the Democrat Chair of Hanover/Lyme, wasn’t given the same treatment? She is “outside of the school” as well, right?

Sigh, you know what happens with stuff like this – my To-Do list grows ever longer as the ideas just pile up quickly (and ram into all the OTHER stuff that’s filling up my 8′ X 4′ whiteboard “notebook”.

One would think that a Principal would know better. C’est la!

Guess I won’t be invited into “her community” as I ask uncomfortable questions.

Blogger Aesop has this to say about that (bolding added):

If Palpatine and Jar Jar won, the Leftards should welcome honest audits and recounts, the better to take another victory lap, while rubbing the Right’s noses in the Left’s inevitable march to the throne room of power. People who’ve actually scored a touchdown don’t bitch about re-watching the video that proves it. It’s that simple.

You can run the tape back and forth, and if the feet are inbounds, and the ball is in control, it’s a touchdown time after time after time.

So when one team’s coaches, and half the fans in the stadium, boo and catcall the replay, and start agitating loudly to ignore it and just call the touchdown without looking at that pesky video replay, you know they didn’t score, and you know they know they didn’t score, so all their histrionics and hissyfits beforehand and afterwards is just them being pissed that they lost, refusing to admit it, even to themselves, and terror at having their noses rubbed in you seeing it with your own lying eyes, on a 50′ tall jumbotron, in front of millions of eyewitnesses.

They’ll be left losers, with egg on their faces, and be thwarted at achieving what they wanted so badly they could not only taste it, but were willing to lie, cheat, and steal to get.

Remember, to the Left, power is all they care about.

It’s always better to plan things beforehand instead of making abrupt and instantaneous plans while enjoying a trip. Your trip might have two possibilities, either it can be a fantastic outcome loaded with fun and vigor, or it can be a disastrous journey wasting your time, money, vitality, and energy. Having said that, let’s find out some of the interesting places, activities, and fun elements to be exercised on your trip to Manchester, UK.

Heaven for sports lovers: without discussing sports and precisely football winnings in Old Trafford Stadium, it will be an injustice to describe Manchester. In order to experience the vitality of premier league wins, one must take a tour of the ground of this stadium. In addition, you mustn’t forget to visit the locker rooms, tunnels, and museum to make yourself acquainted with the history of the football club.

Get familiar with scientific and industrial inventions: having attained the title of the world’s first industrial city, the science and industry museum in Manchester attracts people for its extravagant display of steam engines, the first computer storing and running software, and most important cotton mill. Thus, while planning a trip to Manchester, include this in your checklist.

A Mesmerizing Nightlife: Manchester has always been famous for its unparalleled nightlife and fun. Music, dance, and having fun with friends hold amazement for the tourists and fun lovers.

1. AO Arena: this place holds space for more than 21000 people at one time. It conducts famous music performances running from Ozzy Osbourne to Hans Zimmer, comedy shows, orchestral performances, and even boxing matches.
2. Silent Disco: This is an unmatchable specialty of Manchester, as it asks you to just put your headphones on and start playing any sort of music you like, ultimately being involved in music, dancing, and partying with your friends.

An all-round gaming destination: Apart from being famous for its football club, Manchester has a lot more for tourists and game lovers. Its nightlife is incomplete without experiencing music, gaming, and, more importantly casinos. Rather than directly giving a head start to Manchester’s famous casinos, including Manchester 235, Genting Club, Grosvenor Casino, and many more, it’s always better and safer to try the online casinos UAE that are trusted by millions of users. Be it Manchester or UAE, you will find the best casino sites along with accurate and updated information about casino platforms in UAE. This will help you plan your next trip to UAE if gambling is in your blood.

Lively Theme parks: Besides the globally renowned nightlife of Manchester, it also has astonishing bewilderment for tourists in the form of its magical theme parks. The most famous one is Gulliver’s World which is complete fun for the whole family comprising rides and activities for both children and adults. So, this can also be a great holiday place to spend with your family.

A compendium of different arts: Manchester holds the world’s famous rich art gallery. This art gallery is an amazement for art admirers, as it contains paintings of esteemed British artists and even more than 500 sculptors covering a time span of over 200 years. Interestingly, the museum is not merely limited to exhibiting paintings and famous sculptors; however, it also contains multifarious designs of wallpapers, furniture, glassware, clothing, and costumes. Therefore, for budding artists, this place is a must-visit. Some places to experience different arts are as follows:

1. The Manchester Museum: this place gives you an opportunity to live through the Ice-age, and it also consists of an impressive range of ancient artifacts, including objects from West Asia, Mesopotamia, and ancient Egypt.
2. The Whitworth: the art gallery consists of over 60,000 artworks such as paintings, textiles, sculptors, contemporary art, prints, and so on. This place has a picturesque setting holding a sculptor terrace, orchard, and an art garden.

An exploration of Natural landscape: Amidst the artificial elements of providing clubs, rides, and roller coasters, Manchester has a beautifully made Fletcher Moss Park and Botanical Gardens that preserve interesting wildlife. The Fletcher park contains some rare species of trees, birds, and willow warblers while simultaneously serving a range of snacks during day hours. In addition, Manchester is an abode for various natural activities such as:

1. The Lake District National Park: This place is an abode for the tallest mountain in England named Scafell Pike. It holds incredible scenic beauty, picturesque imagery, and green landfills.
2. Chester Zoo: This zoo homes nearly 20,000 animals. It helps you encounter a range of species such as bears, elephants, big cats, and some endangered African Species.

To conclude, Manchester is a complete package of fun, serenity, travel, tour, and knowledge. It’s a must-visit place for those people having wanderlust. Its chromatic atmosphere gives you a life-living experience and animated learning outcomes.

 

 

The post Things You Need to Do on Your Next Trip to Manchester appeared first on Granite Grok.

You think the switch of party colors when TV first had color to show on electoral maps was innocent? Conservatives were always royal blue by tradition, and Communists were red before then. But that pales, literally, in comparison to the devilish schemes of the left – we are literally engaged in a war of good vs evil. Let me explain…

You have probably felt many times that the war the left is waging on us is one of evil intent, the culture wars, debasing society and religion, destroying morality and the family, etc. You have probably noticed that bills named by the left (and some of the RINO ruling class) have deliberately deceptive names: “Affordable Care,” “For The People,” “Inflation Reduction,” and more. You have probably noticed, certainly in the past before they became emboldened and ripped of their masks of disguise how the left needs to lie about the effects of any proposed action in order to make it appeal to their camp followers, AKA useful idiots as Stalin called them.

But have you thought, really thought, (and I’m no theologian) about WHY the left and it’s evil intentions are always working from behind a glittering cloak of deceit? Who, exactly is the “Great Deceiver,” and are we really selling our souls every time we lend even a little support to denizens of the left?

What if I told you that it is an idea almost as old as time, and certainly common since the (re)birth of socialism in the 19th century, that devotees of Black Magic, followers of Satan, and seekers of power and fortune, called themselves followers of the Left Hand Path?

From the website Learn Religions

What Is the Left-Hand Path?
The left-hand path is considered to be about the elevation and centrality of the self as well as the rejection of religious authority and societal taboos.

The left-hand path focuses on the strength and will of the practitioner. It downplays the need for intercession by any high power although some may believe that a higher power exists.

Satanism (both LaVeyan and Theistic) and Luciferianism are considered left-hand paths.

If you seek gratification, fame, fortune, and more in the here and now, without having to really work for it, well, boy, oh boy, does Satan have a deal for you! Yesirree Bob, better than any used car salesman, just sign on the dotted line with a little blood and your immortal soul, and all you desire shall be yours.
If you seek the easy life, less work, government handouts, debts forgiven (paid for by the eevil rich), and more, the Democrats (and some RINOs) have a deal for you! Just sign up for their ruinous policies, and if you are in a protected class, things may get better for a while, but if you are observant, you will see the rest of society descending slowly and surely into Hell accompanied by a rising smell of sulfur.

The parallels between the Great Deceiver and left wing politicians, and the degree of deception to smoothly talk you into voting for their snake oil and poisonous nostrums, is uncanny.

Obama Devil by RiverDaughterDid you notice how the left orgasmically welcomed Barack Obama as if he was the Second Coming? But Second Coming of who or what, exactly? Trouble is that the smooth talking, deceptive, sharply dressed Obama more closely resembles the TV depictions of Lucifer than he does God’s right hand man, Jesus Christ.

 

 
Nowadays, with the transparently feeble Joe as a front, smooth talking “Chuck You Schumer” as the Senate Deceiver, and Lucifer’s Obama’s acolytes running the country into the ground, that sulfurous smell is not your catalytic converter struggling with cheap and nasty gasoline, but the rising tide of depravity and poverty foisted upon us by our very own Great Deceivers – the Democrat Party!

Vote GOP this November like your country depends on it – the slope is very slippery already!

A man sexually assaulted seven children (now adults) and has since changed his gender. The official record indicates that a woman perpetrated these crimes because calling her him is a hate crime. She will be going to jail, but don’t you dare call her him.

Reformatted.

 

At the time of the offences, Dixon was John Stephen Dixon, who transitioned to female in 2004 – after the period during which the offences took place.

Dixon was given an 18-year custodial sentence, with an additional two years to be served on extended licence. Dixon will also be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order indefinitely.

The five girls and two boys, who were aged between six and 15 in the seven-year period from 1989 to 1996, were abused at locations in Crawley, Bexhill and Icklesham.

Dixon was also found not guilty of four indecent assaults.

 

He will go to a woman’s prison where, if recent history is any guide, “she” will rape the other inmates with her penis. But don’t you dare say she is a man. That’s a hate crime in the UK.

 

 

The Police eventually had to beg off and apologize for their poor behavior, but not because it is a distinction with a difference. They overstepped on the hate speech thing, given the increasingly less unique circumstances. It is not uncommon for male predators of children to change their gender. If they are charged as “women” for things they did as “men,” the data begins to look different.

England may be a slow pondering semi-socialist bureaucratic behemoth with a #woke complex, but they take lots of notes. Much of their COVID data was responsible for unraveling the lies perpetrated by the Global Public Health elites in the UK and abroad. So the question that stirred things here was why these assaults were being documented as committed by a woman.

Think about it.

If your historical sexual predator data is skewed with assaults by men who later declare themselves women are you more or less likely to look for male or female sex predators down the road? No, but you will get research indicating a shift in predation that isn’t real.

Yes, there is plenty of both. Just look at the public school data. But if you are allocating resources to prevent sexual assault on children – as opposed to normalizing it as the progressives are trying to do now – you’ll be focused in all the wrong places.

And if you are too #woke to even dare to look at women who used to be men because it’s a hate crime, not only will you not find predators, but more male predators will “make the switch (if only on paper) to hide their crimes.

And, bonus, if they do get caught, the idiots in law enforcement will lock them up with hundreds of women for them to abuse in an environment where it may also be a hate crime to accuse them.

So, denying the fundamental laws of science (biology) result in an inability to properly meet out justice to such a degree that what you do results in more injustice.

Nice work, cultural Marxists.

For months, we’ve been told by the Democrats that all Republicans are Extremists!  Even President Biden has called, seemingly, anyone that isn’t a Democrat (or Democrat-aligned) a radical, or a brand new term “semi-fascist”.

Sidenote: so how does that work?  Can one be a “half” fascist” (re Mussolini – Mussolini’s infamous quote also comes to mind: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state”) and a half something else?  How would that even work? Think fascist/Constitutionalist?

So someone sent me this image from out in Temple:

It provokes a lot of questions, doesn’t it, as the Progressives are INSISTING that men can be women (even as they can’t define what a woman is – or refuse to in revealing their ideology is shallow and hollowed-out).   But it IS funny – the extremists calling we Normals “extremists”.  The Right calls this “projection” since we see it all the time from them.

It’s almost a Data point post, but not … quite. There is a nice graph, and it is explained in easy-to-understand language, but it includes some adult language, so you’ve been warned.

Make sure the kids or any curse-word-sensitive adults are not in earshot, and then let it rip.

It made me laugh, and I think it has a universal application. Very useful.

The post Wake Up and Laugh: FA & FO Diagram (Language Warning!) appeared first on Granite Grok.

It’s a good thing we don’t have any issues with over-spending-driven inflation (sarc!) that’s devalued your dollars and driven up the price f everything, or this would look like more wasteful spending (or money laundering – maybe both). Biden’s DOJ just “gave” George Soros forty-on million dollars.

And by “gave,” I mean in the leftist construct when considering money trails that lead to Republicans. If a dollar even gets near big oil or coal or anyone who advocates for affordable energy, it’s dirty, dark, and sinister.

Soros has transferred billions into Left-wing causes and candidates. He s a globalist obsessed with ending America. And he’s not shy about it. So when Joe Biden’s department of (in) Justice hands out a big fat grant to a Soros-connected organization, well – what do we call that?

 

The Acacia Center for Justice, an NGO with financial ties to the Soros-linked Vera Institute of Justice, scored a contract from Biden’s DOJ to provide “legal services” to border crossers and illegal aliens after they are released into the U.S. interior in the hopes of staying permanently.

The Acacia Center for Justice, a Washington, D.C.,-based nonprofit born from a partnership between the Vera Institute of Justice and Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR), has received six “legal services” contracts from the Department of Justice that carried start dates of Sept. 1, according to records.

 

This money laundering scheme is not new.

 

The Soros-linked Vera Institute of Justice, as Breitbart News previously reported, was recently awarded a $172 million contract from Biden’s DOJ to do the same work — help illegal aliens evade deportation from the U.S.

In 2018, the Vera Institute of Justice was previously awarded $310 million by the Obama administration to help Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) avoid deportation.

 

We don’t have money to enforce the law, but we have plenty to ensure it is unenforceable or unenforced, and we’re giving it to progressive lawyers with ties to big dollar dark money Democrat donor George Soros.

This time, I brought my own camera and started rolling before the show actually started (still playing with the external battery bank mounting driving the recording for the Samsung on the new smartphone gimbal.  So, a bit more than when I just “borrow” footage from WMSN that hosts her show.

I think I’m going to stay with this video process.

Anyways, you can see how much fun with have with Liz – and I look forward to every time making the long drive down for the show. And I think we do a decent job because she keeps asking us down. AND she has ended up having other Groksters on (although not quite the way we are!).  It’s good to have Conservatives getting air time to counter what Ed Mosca points out  concerning WMUR.

Yes, she still doesn’t quite have a handle on how to “handle us” – but all in good fun.

Oh, Adam Sexton, playing to the Progressive crowd in a partisan manner?  WE, at least, make it clear what our lens is – how about you and WMUR?

“Who are teaching these kids to hate Conservatives?”

Sounds like that would be the teachers, right?  After all, I’m betting that if I look at the Party registrations of every staff member there, I’m betting than no more than 5% are Republicans.  That, I’m also betting, would be far too kind.

Even Deborah Bacon Nelson, the Chair of the Hanover/Lyme Democrat Committee, is in on this – are you being misogynistic towards a young lady student at Hanover High simply because Estherrr likes the US Constitution?  For shame as I thought that the Democrat Party was all about the #MeToo movement – why won’t you believe Esterrr that the Constitution is good for you – hasn’t your Party DEMANDED that we believe ALL women??  Or only those that agree with you?

Sorry, couldn’t help myself there – this TikTok is a lot more than about that harridan about what’s going on in the school:

So the Senate just passed a continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown. The CR needed 60 votes to pass, which means that the GOP had the leverage to actually do something about the things they claim to care about. They did NOT:

Senate just passed—without even the pretense of a fight—CR authorizing $12B to defend Ukraine: $3B to resettle randomly-airlifted Afghans in US; and a blank check for Biden to keep mass releasing illegal aliens.

But don’t worry, GOP bravely held the line on permitting reform.

The entire human species — being intelligent — should act together to make sure our planet’s ecosystems don’t get damaged. Instead, we operate as though it did not matter.

Two of the assaults we have been making, for decades, on ocean ecosystems are: overfishing and pollution by plastic debris. There have also been two major oil spills. One, in 1989, was from a tanker, the Exxon Valdez. It spat 11 million gallons of crude oil into the sea off Alaska when the ship hit a reef. Another in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico involved a drilling station. A court blamed BP and Halliburton for faulty concrete.

Now, this week, in September 2022, we have a gas pipeline sabotaged in the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany. No one yet knows the damage caused, but the blame can be attributed to the Americans. The Americans? I’m American — did I do it? Did I send my navy to place explosives on the underwater pipeline weeks ago and then detonate them from a distance?

Let me tell you. I didn’t do it. I disapprove a thousand percent. But would the average American have given permission for this to happen? Yes, I think so, owing to the following terrible factors (listed in no particular order).

The Closed American Mind

1. Americans have no sense that they do wrong. This attitude is apparently easy to produce — we’ve been told, by media and Hollywood, that every mission we have undertaken was “for the good.”

2. Americans think that they have a representative government. They simply assume that the people support something a president does internationally because we have elections.

3. Americans think they have a constitution that keeps the irrational from happening. For example, it has a clause that says a president can’t make war on his own. The legislature must approve it.

4. Americans have been conditioned to take “regime change” as a prerogative of the US. A foreign leader whom we don’t like must be replaced. This involves either assassinating a country’s leader or stirring up, via agents provocateurs, a “popular revolution.”

5. Americans nevertheless accept any official claim that it wasn’t us who carried out those assassinations or stirred those people up.

6. Americans have no awareness that under the UN Charter’s Article 2, we must “refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.”

7. Americans think, instead, that it’s all right for us to be the world’s policeman (or God’s vicar, or whatever).

8. Americans do not notice that since the US is one of the five “permanent members” of the UN Security Council, it can veto (and has often vetoed) proposals that the rest of the world votes for it.

9. Americans think the TV News people have a direct connection to the facts. If CNN says that Russia is the aggressor against Ukraine, then it must be so.

10. Americans feel that a military action is OK if it is done by NATO, although they have no idea what NATO is, or know that it’s unconstitutional for the US to belong to NATO.

Mother Nature. Long Live Mother Nature?

I want this article to be about the incredible tragedy of our upsetting the ways of Nature, and the ocean’s ecosystem. That is by far and away the most historical aspect of what transpired on Monday, September 26. It makes a joke of all our “political” doings.

However, I will instead try, for the sake of fellow Americans, to pin the blame on us. Why? So we might get over our bad habits and our closed mind. Quickly. Urgently.

In this case — the sabotaging of the Nord Steam pipeline, which is owned by Russia — there can be no claim of our innocence. Recently, Victoria Nuland, US Undersecretary of State, said, “I want to be clear with you today. If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or the other, Nord Stream will not move forward.”

But worse than that, President Biden said, “If Russia invades, there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” A newswoman in the audience — perhaps planted to put this question, asked, “But how will you do that, exactly, since the project is in Germany’s control?” Biden said, “I promise you, we will be able to do that.”

What Is the Bigger War Plan Here?

I am no expert on the matter of the planning of World War III. The following items have been aired by critics in the last few months:

First, in 2014, the US arranged one of its regime changes in Ukraine. This is a threat to Russia insofar as it shares a border with Ukraine.

Second, over the last several years, the US has brought more and more nations into NATO, including those in eastern Europe. This violates an informal “promise” made by US Sec’y of State James Baker to Russia in 1990 that we would not do this.

Third, the US has recently sent 80 billion dollars to Ukraine to stoke up the action.

I believe various people are planning a nuclear war. Eight years ago, Jim Corbett, in an interview at Glosbalresearch.ca, opined that weapons manufacturers have achieved a privatization of nuclear war. This seems plausible, as companies such as Boeing and Raytheon are bigger than the Pentagon.

American citizens need to form a group to oppose such higgledy-piggledy formation of war policy. The reason I say “citizens” is that the three branches of government are hopeless at this. The executive branch, as just demonstrated by Biden, thinks it has the right to do anything abroad.

The legislative branch always, since the Korean War in 1950, demurs from its responsibility. Only a few members protest when the president overrides Congress’s authority as expressed in Article I, sec 8, clause 11. Even sadder, the judiciary refuses to get involved. See, for example, Dellums v Bush or Maxwell v Trump.

Dear US Citizens, please get your act together. Sitting back and twiddling your thumbs while privateers organize a nuclear strike will have the effect of other nations nuking us, won’t it? And we will deserve it, won’t we?

Your local experience may vary on this point. My Eye Doc, for example, is still high on masking, but the CDC has announced that it no longer recommends universal masking of Health Care Workers.

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

 

The CDC dropped its universal masking guideline for healthcare workers after a weeklong slowdown in COVID-19 hospitalizations and nursing home infections nationwide, CBS News reported Sept. 23.

The change is one of the final sets of revisions to overhaul recommendations for COVID-19 since August. The CDC says healthcare facilities should still rely on its original “Community Transmission” benchmarks. This means over a quarter of counties nationwide can choose not to require masking in their facilities.

 

State and local authorities, hospitals, and facilities can and will continue to set their policies. As noted above, my Eye Doctor expects masks while the Vet no longer requires them. And that’s how it always should have been.

While we have published mounds of science on the ineffectiveness of masking and some genuine health risks caused by the practice, we’re not here to tell you whether to wear one or not. That’s none of our business. If you want to re-breath your exhaust all day, knock yourself out. We might laugh at you in your car all by yourself, but you be you.

Speaking of which, that appears to be what the UL and WMUR have done. They are just being who they are.

The CDC dropped a mask mandate, which sounds like a big deal, big news, a watershed moment in the arc of bad COVID mitigation policy history (even if you think it was good policy). Health Care workers don’t have to wear masks. The CDC said so!

I guess that’s not an exciting story for the local media, including the ABC affiliate. I couldn’t find any stories about Monday’s announcement.

And so what, you say, but so what, indeed. If the CDC had extended the mandate or reintroduced a new one, it would be above the fold, breaking public health news.

A nationwide decline in hospitalizations and nursing home infections promoted the change, but that’s not news either.

It is one more reason you can’t trust a damn thing they report. But we’re happy to fill the gap when we can.

CAPTAIN CLUCKER:” HEAR YE! HEAR YE! HEAR YE! The second meeting of the “CLUCKER COMMISSION” (my chickens self-assigned this name) is now in session. All those wishing to present nominations for the “MORON OF THE YEAR/YOU MIGHT BE A MORON” award, come forth and make your presentation.”

SILENCE ( I would have said “crickets” to denote silence, but my chickens would go nuts looking for the darn things.)

MASTER FEEDER: “ It appears that no one approaches. Shall we proceed anyway?”

CAPT. CLUCKER: “We shall. We plan to give you the floor but first wish to place in nomination EVERSOURCE. Based on what we have been told, they seem a good candidate. It was SGT.BROKEN BILL’S idea. We wanted him to make the nomination. However, I have to make it because we cannot seem to find him.

MASTER FEEDER: Your friend, the SGT., is no longer a part of the Coop. When one of you eats as much as he did, they graduate to a higher calling where they serve the nutritional needs of the great house on the hill behind the coop.

Regarding the nomination of EVERSOURCE, I can understand the thought, but I think you need to consider additional facts. If someone does something stupid or horribly wrong on their own, they could be a moron. But, if they do something because they have a gun to their head, (probably a bad choice of words for this “chicken” Commission that is only days away from such an event), maybe they are just trying to survive, and the morons are the ones holding the gun.

Certainly,EVERSOURCE took the actions I described, and certainly, they signed the contracts to raise electricity costs by 120 percent. But, a really good case can be made that they had a big honking revolver put right up against their “corporate” temple. That Gun had six high-powered bullets. Let’s take a look at those “bullets:

BULLET NUMBER 1: REGIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INITIATIVE

In 2005, the Governor of New Hampshire (John lynch, a Democrat) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Governors of Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Connecticut, and Delaware to establish this initiative (RGGI). This proposal (an MOU is not binding but expresses a general desire to pursue the program) sets up a regional technocracy to control CO2 emissions from power plants:

• The regional technocrats set an “enforceable” regional limit on how much CO2 can be emitted in the region.
• Once that limit is set, a system of credits is set up with one credit equal to the right to emit 1 short ton of CO 2. The total number of allowable credits then is simple math.
• On a quarterly basis, an auction is held by which all utilities bid for the available permits/credits.
• If a utility is unable to obtain enough credits to cover its CO2 emissions, it is a crime for them to operate over and above the amount allowed to them thru the auction.
  By this system, CO2 — I.E. the burning of fossil fuels — is reduced by the limits imposed on the allowable permitted CO2 emissions.
• The net result: Eversource could obviously figure out that it had to get out of the power generating business. Most of its generation, at that time, was fossil fuel and nuclear. The imposition of this “technocracy “over its business not only took away its rights to control its own business (for example, under this program, investing in maintenance or upgrades to coal plants was suddenly an incredible waste of money) but it imposed a rather large new tax (estimates I have seen range from 4.7 billion to 7 billion).
• Question: why blame EVERSOURCE for succumbing to the Regional Greenhouse Gas initiative? The ten participating States gutted their business. They simply did what they were told do. Bullet number 1 was a doozy.

BULLET NUMBER 2: MAGGIE HASSAN LEADS THE SENATE DEMOCRATS TO TURN RGGI INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE LAW (THANKS, MAGGIE)

Maggie Hassan, Progressive

Bullet number 1 was unenforceable in New Hampshire. If you go and study it, I think a fair conclusion was that the Republican Governor Lynch wanted to sign the MOU to study the idea of RGGI, but wasn’t quite sure it would be in the best interests of New Hampshire. He asked for a study to be done by the “University of New Hampshire”. That study somewhat reluctantly (to my eye) encouraged New Hampshire to participate in the RGGI –but mainly because we draw our electricity from the New England grid that is controlled by 6 other New England states that would penalize us if we resisted.
Sooooo….along comes Maggie Hassan with BULLET NUMBER 2: RSA 125-O.

• Maggie Hassan was then State Senator from District 23(Rockingham county).
• She, somehow, in her very short time in the Senate, became MAJORITY LEADER. She took up the cause of making RGGI into law and threw her full support into making RGGI into law (RSA 125-O).
• Under RSA 125-O, it is a crime for Eversource to produce more CO2 than permitted by the Energy Conservation Board. They set the limits on CO2. Of course, every year the limit goes down so that less CO2 is permitted and CO2 credits become more and more expensive.
• Eversource also has no reason to pay maintenance fees nor pay for structural improvements to deteriorating Power plants.

Some might say this is a good thing. Others — like me — say: “ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR CLUCKING MIND?” because I saw the same program in California. Check it out yourselves but here is what I know:

• California cannot generate the electricity it needs. They are having rolling blackouts. They are having even worse things call Brownouts (where power is reduced but not stopped. It destroys everything being powered).
• California electricity is three tiered. Under the first tier—which is basic service so you don’t die in 120 degree heat—is 24 cents a kwh. (THAT IS FOR POOR PEOPLE THAT MAKE LESS THAN $150,000 DOLLARS A YEAR OR ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT GET EVERYTHING FOR FREE).
• Tier 2 service can run a small house. That is at 39 cents a kwh.
• Tier 3—which would be for most houses in New Hampshire and certainly for all businesses—is at 49 cents a kwh.
• The stated goal of California is 1 dollar a kwh.

SOOOO…service is third world but when you do get service, you have to pay prices that only millionaires can afford.

I have many friends in California as I lived and worked there most of my adult life. One friend has a very large accounting firm in the City of Cypress (population of around 50,000). He and I were talking at 2:15 pm and he told me that he had to hang up-it was Cypress turn for a blackout.

Maggie Hassan…Bullet number 2

BULLET NUMBER 3: MAGGIE HASSAN CAST THE DECISIVE VOTE FOR BIDENS “INFLATION REDUCTION ACT” WHICH WILL INCREASE OUR COST OF ELECTRICITY BY DOUBLE OR TRIPLE.

Maggie Hassan did not stop with RGGI. Nor with RSA 125-O. She also cast the decisive vote for Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.
Not sure why it has been labeled the way it is. It has nothing to do with reducing inflation.

Also, not sure why no one has mentioned probably the most important parts of the bill that will cause our electricity rates to double and triple over what we are now paying.

• First, under current law, the Federal Government imposes a royalty charge on hydro-carbons taken out of the ground by fossil fuel companies. The current level is 4.5 to 6 per cent. This bill raises that to as much as 20 Percent. Royalties are charged on total price, not profit. If oil is trading at 100 dollars a barrel, 20 dollars will now go to the federal Government. Translated, the federal Government has just tripled the tax it charges.Question: What does this increase in Royalty say to the folks like Eversource, oil companies, anyone relying on fossil fuels? Answer: It says you are going out of business if you own or buy oil, natural gas, diesel, coal. (If oil is selling for 100 dollars a barrel, that means USA oil in the ground is net 80 dollars to an oil company. If the same oil company generates oil in Mexico and imports it, there is no 20 per cent royalty and its net 100 dollars. That takes the USA oil out of the world market and squeezes the supply rendering the oil business and oil burning business at a visible dead end.
• Second, Just about every aspect of generating electricity involves the generation of methane gas. Oil refining. Coal burning. Natural gas production and transport. Under Joe Biden’s new law, a new and quite substantial tax is now imposed on methane gas. The tax is measured by the amount of methane gas an operation causes. The bill is hefty.
• There are other parts of the bill but just take these two — royalty to the Federal government of 20% of total price, not profit, and new hefty tax on Methane.
• Bottom line to EVERSOURCE_ get out of the electricity generating business as the Federal Government is out to destroy it with taxes and royalties. Don’t invest in any maintenance, improvements, or structure that has anything to with fossil fuels as it is a waste of time and money.

How many ads have you seen where MAGGIE HASSAN claims to be “fighting” for New Hampshire? How many ads have you seen where she asserts that she is an independent thinker not controlled by Joe Biden.

Well, facts matter.

On this “INFLATION REDUCTION BILL” it would never have passed if Hassan had said, “NO — NOT GOOD FOR MY PEOPLE.”

MAGGIE HASSAN just loaded the third bullet into the EVERSOURCE gun. She just voted to pass a law that will increase the cost of all fossil fuels — heating oil, gasoline, diesel, natural gas by astronomical amounts. Don’t be surprised if all of these fuels become so expensive that few can afford them. Don’t be suprised as well when you learn that this is what the Maggie Hassan’s of Washington have hoped for. Planned for. And think you are DUMB ENOUGH TO NOT SEE WHAT SHE DID.

LET’S GO MAGGIE!!

BULLET 4: THE DESTRUCTION OF NUCLEAR AND HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER BY MAGGIE HASSAN, ELIZABETH WARREN, ED MARKEY, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF NEW ENGLAND (No, there is no Democratic party of New Hampshire—it’s all run out of Boston, New York, and Washington).

Eversource—since 2005—has faced enormous pressure from Bullets 1-3 to stop generating power from coal, etc. I wasn’t there but it’s seems reasonable to think that they tried to find alternate sources of electricity. One area of promise was the Seabrook nuclear generating power plant. That facility was originally designed to have two reactors. The one that was in operation was providing fairly cheap and very clean electricity. A second reactor could generate a good replacement for coal, natural gas etc. Eversource could transition from cheap coal plants to cheap but clean nuclear.

OOPS! BAD EVERSOURCE. HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY THINK THAT THE “ELECTRICITY EXTERMINATORS” (Maggie Hassan, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey, etc.) would allow that second generator to be built.

• They mounted a campaign attacking nuclear power as dangerous and polluting and shut down any hope of ever building the second generator.
• Funny in that regard—most of Vermont’s power (71.8%) was from its own Nuclear power generating facility located in Vernon, Vermont. It was shut down in 2014. It was owned and operated by ENTERGY CORPORATION (A VERY LARGE POWER GENERATING COMPANY OUT OF ARKANSAS. THE LARGEST SHAREHOLDERS ARE VANGUARD, STATE STREET AND BLACK ROCK).
• Eversource might have gotten power from hydroelectric coming out of Canada. As Governor, Maggie Hassan made sure to shut that down. In a letter to the Governor of Connecticut, she famously wrote that she objected to the hydro-electric power plan because it would damage small bio mass electrical generating companies in New Hampshire. The whole project died on environmental objections.
• Bullet 4: Maggie Hassan and her buddies gutted any prospect of “clean” alternatives. Eversource lost its ability to generate power.

Bullet 5: BLACK ROCK, VANGUARD, STATE STREET: THE ALADDIN PROGRAM, and THE ESG CREDIT SCORING SYSTEM.
What if Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street all told Eversource to get out of the electricity generating business, stop burning fossil fuels, let Nexextra and Continental take over—or we will bankrupt you with a lousy ESG score fronm ALADDIN?

Here is a fun set of facts. BLACKROCK, VANGUARD, STATE STREET ARE THE PRINCIPLE SHAREHOLDERS OF:
1. Entergy: which owned the Vermont Nuclear plant;
2. Seabrook Nuclear plant;
3. Nexextra Energy (which is who Eversource contracted with for 22.5 cents per kilowatt hour);
4. Continental Energy (the other company Eversource contracted with).

BLACKROCK is an enormous outfit controlling over 10 trillion dollars of investment money. VANGUARD IS NOT FAR BEHIND (6 TRILLION). Nor is STATE STREET (5 trillion.)
Collectively—and for some reason you always see them acting as a unit—they control nearly 21 trillion dollars of investment money. That is such a huge number that it is really hard to fathom. The entire budget of the U. S. Government is about 6.1 trillion. The total nominal GDP of USA is 23 trillion; of China, 17.7 trillion; of Japan 4.9 trillion.

Simple THOUGHT: these three have enormous wealth and power. How they use it seems devastating to New Hampshire. On the issue of ELECTRICITY, have we not essentially ceded our sovereignty to them? Consider:

• BLACKROCK developed an operating system called ALADDIN. Aladdin analyzes and then rates – via a scoring system – every company in the world. If you think that the system is based upon an analysis of the financial strength of a company you would be partially right, but mostly wrong. Aladdin is programed to evaluate companies not on their financial health but on criteria better labeled as social and environmental justice. The criteria used are labeled with the title ESG.
• You can find a complete statement of the ESG criteria on their website. For my purposes, Companies are evaluated by three categories 1. Environment; 2.Social 3. Governance.
• For example, Coca Cola is evaluated not by how many sodas they sold but by how much carbon was needed to make those sodas. Tesla is evaluated not by how many cars it sells but by how much it contributed to the teaching of Critical race theory to its employees.
• Curiously, the ESG criteria seem to mirror the WEF/ DAVOS GROUPS agenda. Curiously, the head of BLACKROCK is on the board of directors for the DAVOS GROUP. Vanguard and State street are both signatories to the WEF program called ‘RACE TO ZERO”. Larry fink, of Blackrock recently told a reporter that to achieve the goals of the WEF, proper behavior must be “forced.”
• (When you see all these big Corporations—like Coca Cola—promoting CRT or DEI – I suppose it could be just because they think it the right thing to do. However, what do you think happens to them if Blackrock gives them a low ESG score. How about bankruptcy?)
• Bullet 5: Eversource might have been unable to resist the guiding hand of BLACKROCK, VANGUARD AND STATE STREET.

BULLET 6: MAGGIE HASSAN AGAIN

When Joe Biden was running for president, he was losing quite substantially to others who were running. He went to a rather famous meeting with Blackrock. After that meeting, he and Larry fink announced that he would be the next President.

Brian Deese-a pivotal executive at Blackrock– is Biden’s chief economic adviser. Adewale Adeyemo-chief of staff to Larry fink—essentially runs the treasury Department. Michael Pyle—another Blackrock executive—is chief economic advisor to Kamala Harris. Many folks believe that Blackrock—with its Aladdin program and its ESG scoring system—now run the country.

In the Senate, there is an even split between 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans. If Maggie Hassan had decided to vote for the interests of New Hampshire, none of Biden/Blackrock’s massive spending programs or Social/ CRT programs would have passed.

SHE DID NOT. NOT ONCE. EVERY PIECE OF JOE BIDEN’S AGENDA HAS PASSED BECAUSE MAGGIE HASSAN VOTED WITH BIDEN 100 % OF THE TIME.

In her campaign for re-election, she reports overs $26 million in revenue. GEORGE SOROS famously announced that his first—but not his last—contribution to political candidates in 2022 was to MAGGIE HASSAN—WHO MAKES HIS ENTIRE AGENDA POSSIBLE.

• BULLET 6: So, did EVERSOURCE look at the lay of the land and just surrender?
• Did they see the enormous wealth and power of Blackrock, Vanguard, and State street and surrender?
• Did they look at how they control the Biden administration and just surrender?
• Did they see the action of Hassan and her Electricity exterminating brethren and just surrender?
• Did they realize that their “Goose” was cooked—no way out—so they just surrendered?

Capt. Clucker: WAIT—Goose is cooked? Did you say the “Goose was cooked?” Where? When? Are we next? Is Hassan coming for us to cook us? First, the Goose. Now the Chickens?”

Master Feeder: No, it’s just a figure of speech.
Capt. Clucker: Really? Then how come you call some of us Meat Birds?

Master Feeder: Because…uh…everyone wants to meet you?

Capt. Clucker: oh? Alright. Then let me do something all of us want to do: We nominate Eversource as coward of the year. Moron of the year clearly should go to anyone who believes Maggie Hassan on any subject.

Master feeder: Sorry, but Chickens are not smart enough to vote on such a vital matter. At least not until all the nominations are in place. We have more.

Capt. Clucker: Whoa! Meeting is adjourned. UPS just drove up. What did you get us? Heat lamp? Jacuzzi bath?

 

The post Part Two: How Maggie Hassan Stuck NH with Electricity Rates That Are Double What They Should Be appeared first on Granite Grok.

It is not enough to point out how bad a President we have in Joe Biden, for that does not even crack the surface. In less than two years, Joe Biden and his feckless Administration have done more harm to America and her people than anyone could imagine.

It is not accidental, but it is evident that this is an intentional attempt to beat us down to make transformation an easier task. Let’s take a look at some of the facts.

Energy Independence: We achieved energy independence under Donald Trump, and he did so in less than four years. We went from a country dependent on the cost of a barrel from OPEC to being an oil and natural gas supplier to other countries. The petroleum industry was flourishing and doing so with the lowest carbon emissions in history. We had made coal, oil, and natural gas affordable, clean, and safe. That was until January 20, 2021 when Joe Biden disrupted the process with the stroke of a pen.

Biden’s policies drove gas prices to the highest levels in our history and now brags about them being down to $3.60 a gallon. That is bragging about a 50% hike from 2020. Excellent job, Joe, and good luck selling that line of thinking. In the northeast, we are looking at a winter heating season with oil, gas, and propane possibly doubling in price from last year. Some will have to choose between gas for their car, food, or heating their home.

Inflation: We are sitting at 8.3%, but everyone who goes to a grocery store, department store, or dines out knows we are much higher. Biden brags about inflation being at 0% for the last two months, but it really means it is flat at a forty-year high. Biden is not an economic genius. With income rising at 5%, Americans are falling behind every month.

Interest Rates: The Fed has been raising rates for months trying to slow the flow of money and the inflation rate. This is raising credit card and mortgage rates, putting the dream of a home out of reach for many. For an average house of $400,000, the monthly payment is up $1,000 or an increase of $360,000 over the 30-year term.

Illegal Immigration: The only group making huge profits under Biden, other than Hunter, are the Mexican cartels. They are making billions each month by charging illegals to cross the Border into our cöuntry. As many as 4 million have crossed since Biden took office, and our Souther Border no longer exists, nor does our sovereignty. Biden and Harris have shown they have no intention of securing our Border, which is one of their fundamental obligations. They are failing us.

Fentanyl: We have beaten this topic to death as it continues to be the number one cause of death for 18-45-year-olds. How do we put this into a number that gets Biden’s attention? 100,000 a year? 300 a day? Apparently, it does not matter. The cartels are obviously going after a younger market with pastel-colored tablets that resemble a popular kid’s candy. Under this illegal poison takes the life of someone close to a high-ranking Democrat, the Administration is not rattled by the numbers that sicken and scare every American.

What can we point to that excites this President. Abortion and insulin for seniors are about the extent of the list. That is all he can talk about as he travels the country campaigning for Democrats. He addressed the NEA last week. This is the largest teacher’s union. He did not mention Education once but did focus on abortion rights. Why do teachers need to be concerned with abortion? Maybe because global warming is too boring!

Biden is hurting us in the pocket. He is making us less safe in our neighborhoods. He has destroyed our sovereignty. He has weakened us on the global stage. That is the product of his work for half of his term. We may not survive the second act.

The post He Is Not Just Bad, He Is Destroying Us appeared first on Granite Grok.

The democrat stenographers are wallowing in their climate punch; Hurricane Ian didn’t get to Cat 5 before landfall, and they desperately wanted that. But they’ve still got their extreme weather narrative. or do they? Recent research suggests that’s not happening either.

Related: NOAA – 2022 “Above Average Hurricane Season” Prediction Update – No Named Storms in July/Aug

And let’s be clear. These researchers appear to want a different result than the one at which they arrived (reformatted).

 

This article reviews recent bibliography on time series of some extreme weather events and related response indicators in order to understand whether an increase in intensity and/or frequency is detectable. The most robust global changes in climate extremes are found in yearly values of heatwaves (number of days, maximum duration and cumulated heat), while global trends in heatwave intensity are not significant.

Daily precipitation intensity and extreme precipitation frequency are stationary in the main part of the weather stations. Trend analysis of the time series of tropical cyclones show a substantial temporal invariance and the same is true for tornadoes in the USA.

At the same time, the impact of warming on surface wind speed remains unclear. The analysis is then extended to some global response indicators of extreme meteorological events, namely natural disasters, floods, droughts, ecosystem productivity and yields of the four main crops (maize, rice, soybean and wheat).

None of these response indicators show a clear positive trend of extreme events. In conclusion on the basis of observational data, the climate crisis that, according to many sources, we are experiencing today, is not evident yet. It would be nevertheless extremely important to define mitigation and adaptation strategies that take into account current trends.

 

They looked at all the reporting, data, observation, documentation, etc., and could not conclude that we are experiencing more extreme weather events. It’s not happening.

Slow your roll, Cultists.

No one denies that we have these events or that they can be extreme. But we’ve always had them. But based on the evidence compiled by meteorologists, and climate scientists, the actual scientific record, does not support the claim of increased extreme events, and claims to the contrary, at least according to these researchers, are nonsense. It hasn’t happened (yet!).

They actually say “yet.” As if they expected it to be true and are holding out hope.

Conclusion?

Al Gore, Tom Steyer, and NOAA will have to hire more Winston Smiths to “correct” the record. Otherwise, rogue researchers will continue to discover, much to their surprise, that this facet of the global climate fraud is political science fraud, not climate science.

One more point. The stenographers and their muses (the Democrat party) are still working the political science, but September is the busiest month for Hurricane landfills in the US. We had zero in July and August and only one in September. And none are forming in the Atlantic as I write this. Consider that while Dems claim this is climate change and that they alone can fix it.

Fix what? The incredibly low incidence of named storms and hurricane landfills? Or by fix, do you mean break, because Democrats destroy everything they touch?

The post Sorry Climate Cult – Extreme Weather Events Are Not Getting More Frequent appeared first on Granite Grok.

Dear Secretary Scanlon:

Elections in New Hampshire are educational and fun. One group encouraged me to read New Hampshire’s Constitution, a short and progressive document codifying individual rights and freedom.

I spoke to several sign carriers at the primaries. One was a leading Democrat in town who knew me distastefully. However, we had common ground: too much money influencing elections and some aspects of climate change. The conversation ended with her wishing me luck, which I took as genuine.

I am running to represent Cheshire District 15. John Schmitt is the other Republican (you can vote for one or two) – our campaigns are independent. Our Democratic opponents, Amanda Toll and Renee Monteil are running as a team. You might have seen their large signs, characterizing themselves as Progressive Democrats, as do their mailings.

New Hampshire has a great campaign finance website. Monteil’s records indicate $11,208 in contributions; $ 10,000 was from Karla Jurvetson from CA. Toll’s contributions total $11,304, with $10,000 coming from Karl Jurvetson from NH, which is fictitious (should be Karla from CA), and violating election regulations. All these contributions preceded the September 13 primary.

Paul Berch, eliminated by Toll and Monteil, has reported $10,948 in total contributions for his seven election cycles, winning five. Monteil beat Berch by 130 votes – 2.5% of voting Democrats. It was Karla Jurvetson who beat Berch, not Montreil.

Who is Karla Jurvetson? She is the divorced wife of Steve Jurvetson, reportedly a philandering, extremely successful venture capitalist. In this election cycle, Karla has contributed $187,500 to NH candidates and through ActBlue New Hampshire.

Some are concerned about out-of-state contributions. One can scan for large contributions, but Toll’s show up in the in-state bucket due to the address falsification. In total, $6.3 million are coded from NH, and $3.1 million are coded out of state. I have mixed feelings about this because that $3.1 million adds to our economy. However, the circumstances of Berch’s defeat are appalling.

Lastly, Toll and Marteil are not progressives. T are lockstep Democrats. Toll is convicted by her record – the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance rates legislative records A thru F. Below F is “constitutional threat,” which is how they rate Amanda Toll. Toll’s partner Monteil has virtually no Internet presence, but her Facebook and Twitter indicate solely Democratic divisive issues. And both their campaigns are 90% funded by out-of-state wealth (See Bernie for details).

Do you remember Shelly Joseph? She’s the Massachusetts judge who helped an illegal alien escape deportation in 2019. With an ICE agent waiting outside her courtroom, Judge Joseph allowed another court officer to escort the fugitive through her chambers to escape. Biden’s DOJ just dropped all the charges.

The Justice Department has moved “in the interest of justice” to drop all charges against a Newton District Court judge who was accused of thwarting efforts by federal agents to take an undocumented immigrant into custody, drawing an end to a contentious case that had been brought under the Trump administration.

In exchange, Newton District Court Judge Shelley Joseph agreed to admit to certain facts that will be referred “to the state Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct: the forum that is designed to investigate and address alleged misconduct by state judicial officers and to make final recommendations on discipline to the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts,” according to a filing by prosecutors in US District Court on Thursday.

 

She was charged with perjury, obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting, obstruction of a federal proceeding, and conspiracy to obstruct justice. She is also guilty as charged and proud of it. She deliberately helped a known fugitive escape a federal agent.

There are folks “on trial” and in detention for wandering into the US Capitol on January 6th after Capitol Police opened the doors who will face a harsher punishment than this so-called Judge.

And while she has not showered her profession in glory, this is Massachusetts. The Commission on Judicial Conduct is likely as rigged as everything else in the state. If she is connected or revered for her liberal jurisprudence, we should expect very little in the form of reprimand, followed by a nothing burger from the state’s highest court.

And we now know why she refused a plea deal. Understanding the system could take years to get to a trial or even a verdict, she sat on her hands and waited for a more favorable DOJ, which she got.

And not a week went by where she didn’t get her paycheck.

Say hello to justice in America.
