Concord State House To Build First Totally Inclusive 152 Bathroom Multiplex

A close third on the priority list for the Biden Administration, behind Ukrainians and illegal immigrants, is the ++ community. These are people so confused by math and science they cannot identify with a long-established biological binary. Rather than waste precious hours teaching them how to accept these realities, many of our nation’s educators have chosen to offer up new categories for them to embrace. Among these are: agender, bigender, furry, pangender, potgender, Teflonsexual, two-spirit, legionated and demon-seeded.

With the most recent printing of billions of fiat Federal Reserve notes, New Hampshire has been granted a generous $58 million to build the first ever totally inclusive bathroom multiplex. Wrapping around the State Capitol in the style of gilded log cabins, visitors and legislators alike will enjoy the opportunity to do their dirty work in complete comfort knowing, that even though all pipes flow to the same tank, they can clean their pipes in personalized privacy in these incredible public spaces.

New Hampshire’s Assistant Secretary of the Inferior, Bill Bradley, explains some of the hi-tech features those planning to drop in can expect. Mr. Brady announced despite overwhelming opposition from cis-women voters:

“There is nothing worse than having to end a meeting or miss a vote to go to the bathroom, which is why we’re including cameras in each stall so lawmakers can keep doing the people’s business while doing their business.”

Artificial Intelligence will utilize these cameras to either lift or lower the lid depending upon the person’s bathroom ID card, which they will use to gain entry. Those who identify as “neither” or “neutrois” will have access to all or no bathrooms depending upon their social media credit score.

Furries (people who pretend to be animals) can also expect human-sized litter boxes generously donated by the folks at Pet Supply in Nashua.

Local contractors are expected to break ground on this project in the fall of 2022 and finish sometime in the spring of 2029.

Nabisco’s Announces New Hoi Polloi Puffs

Consumer snack maker Nabisco will be unveiling its latest offering to fans later this fall. Following the recommendations to capitalize on insect protein, their new Hoi Polloi Puffs will contain a variety of snack choices while also coming in several exciting new flavors. Eager vice president of marketing, Juno Nutting, stated:

“The nice thing about climate change is doors are opening to new products. It’s almost heartwarming that another generation besides the Boomers is going to grow up enjoying the beetles.”

Beetles are just a portion of the insect family ground into tasty treats for mass consumption. Also making an appearance are arachnids and mealworms.

“Flavoring can get a little tricky so we’ve asked culinary experts to put together the best blends of herbs and spices to give our snacks each their own signature flavor. We’re also using Beetlejuice to sweeten our new line of Bug Bites .

Look for the following labels from Nabisco on store shelves near you:

  • Jalapeno Hoppers
  • BBQ Cricket Chips
  • Potato Thrips
  • Doritodes

Senators Shaheen and Hassan are so excited about the idea they are working with the snack maker on building a manufacturing plant in Plaistow which will create jobs and utilize the growing insect population.

Displaced Ukrainians Thankful Americans Stand With Them

Foreign war correspondent Gage Steel took to the streets of Kiev this past week looking to discover how Ukrainians felt about the state of war in their country.

Anatoly Golka, a resident of Kramatorsk commented:

“I have a cousin who lives in Poland who tells us how many Americans are standing with us online” while standing outside the rubble that was once his home.

A professor of political science at the University of Kiev stated :

“I thank God for the Americans who are willing to put it online in face of that psychopath Putin and let him know, unequivocally on their social media, that they recognize the Ukrainian flag well enough to copy and paste it to their account.”

Bananas Fake News Network live streamed this interview once the missiles started to drop and is happy to report we had over ten thousand likes and gained at least five thousand new subscribers. Though we were unable to contribute any meaningful sustenance to help the displaced Ukrainians, we stand with the United States Congress in taking tens of billions of American tax dollars and entrusting them to a nation run by some of the finest Eastern European oligarchs. We have complete faith in former actor turned president Volodymyr “Ukraine’s Reagan” Zelensky, whose net worth of $830 million means he must be doing something right! Surely people who can make that much money in a country famous for corruption and human trafficking will be able to put America’s billions to good use.

Representatives Pappas and Kuster plan to present the “I Stand With Ukraine Day” bill later this month.

Prosperity Preachers Applaud Congress’ Health and Prosperity Bill

World famous prosperity gospel teachers and long-time members of Trinity Broadcasting Network issued a statement of admiration for the recent prosperity bill developed and passed by Congress. Observed Houston’s Joel Osteen:

“This bill does what we’ve been preaching about for years. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Christian or a Communist, the point of life is to be healthy and wealthy. This bill does that by ensuring that the healthy and wealthy will stay that way”

“We’ve been teaching the need to manifest your wealth – SPEAK IT INTO EXISTE-E-E-E-NCE!” shouted Kenneth Copeland as he boarded the smaller of his three private planes for an overnight stay on his private island.

“This only proves that God loves me and has loved me ever since He had the good sense to make me” opined Elevation Church founder Stephen Furtick. “I praise the God who uses the greatest Congress in the world to meet my needs! So blessed!”

Despite most economists warning the continued printing of money leads to inflation and acts as a tax on the middle and lower classes, the Trinity Broadcast Network has invited the bill’s drafters to celebrate this landmark legislation and will be holding a twenty-four-hour telethon this weekend to offset the cost of running the Lord’s business.

Body Found In Hunter Biden’s SUV

Hunter Biden was brought in by the Delaware State Police Department for questioning regarding the dead 14-year-old Asian prostitute found in the back of his Escalade. The coroner’s report showed signs of a struggle and fingerprints on the sides and back of her neck that matched Hunter’s. Several pounds of crack cocaine were found next to her body as well as a cell phone with a video of what appeared to be a man matching Hunter Biden’s physical characteristics who then monologue’s into the camera while smoking crack about why he had to kill her. Video face recognition software matched the male to Hunter Biden’s exact face and voice recognition software also was an exact match. When asked about the investigation a spokesperson for Delaware SPD said it was being ruled a suicide.

Later that day Delaware SPD issued a thank you to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma for recently donating thirteen fully armored SUVs and thirty three thousand dollars in ammunition.

Laconia State Rep Gregg Hough: With All His Other Political Enemies, He’s Decided to Anger GraniteGrok, too?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-08-26 21:00 +0000

Gregg Hough has Gov. Chris Sununu calling for him to be ousted. The Progressive/Democrat Citizens for Belknap PAC is gunning for his seat. True Conservatives are set against him. And he wants to pick a fight with GraniteGrok??

Yes, he has attacked GraniteGrok. And me.  By submitting a complaint to the Belknap County Republican Committee…Wait, WHAT?  He didn’t like what I wrote about him and the illegal Belknap County Delegation meeting on August 1st, so he went to THEM?

Delusion?  Politically incompetent?  Clueless? Or trying to be today’s shining example of the definition of Lenin’s phrase “useful idiot”? Does he think that his newly discovered bromance with Gunstock Area Commissioner Doug Lambert (of DGF Industrial), if one reviews his recent social media postings of the two of them, is providing a Teflon shield around him in which he cannot be criticized?

Or has he tipped his hand and let us glimpse a tiny sliver of his willingness in finding and then riding “the Political Strong Horse” to further his political ambitions?  And in doing so, proving my sad observation that there is little sense of Loyalty in politics and him showing how little value he places on the concept of loyalty as he so willingly changes political “saddles” and alignments?

As loyal readers know, I had a beef with this Representative (that I have been saddled with (pun intended) due to re-districting) in his involvement in the illegally called and illegally run Belknap County Delegation meeting of August 1st (my first post here: On Keeping One’s Word – Or Not. Not Cool to Lie to a New Constituent, Gregg Hough (Laconia Ward Two)!). The gist of the post is that I, as my right being a constituent of his, told him not to take part in that illegal meeting. I explained WHY he shouldn’t (the intermingling of two RSAs that shouldn’t be: RSA 91A and RSA 24:9-D (and told my OTHER Representative, Harry Bean, the same thing)), and that he said he wouldn’t participate.

Until he did which is why I wrote that post.

Well, “stupid is as stupid does” goes that old saying, and NH State Rep Gregg Hough wasn’t content with being admonished by me.  He, as a Government Agent (or, if you prefer, an Agent of the Government, as that is what an elected official happens to be), decided to retaliate against me and GraniteGrok. He chose to use a tactic that has been in use a lot here in Belknap that I’ve been writing about a lot in the political fracas involving Gunstock Mountain Resort, the Gunstock Area Commission that oversees it, and the Belknap County Delegation (“Convention”) that appoints and has oversight over the GAC – sow and spread divisiveness between the players by those within and aligned with the Progressive/Democrat Citizens for Belknap PAC (political action committee).

So he attacked GraniteGrok. And me.  By submitting a complaint to the Belknap County Republican Committee…Wait, WHAT?  He didn’t like what I wrote, so he went to THEM?

WHY?  Or better, how?  While there is a lot of background material, loyal readers know that when the last elected NH GOP Delegates in Belknap County voted for the BCRC’s elected officials (chair, vice-chair, secretary, treasurer), former Chair Alan Glassman was ousted by a vote of 17-3.  Roundly getting spanked by those that collectively said “We’ve had enough; time for a change”. I/GraniteGrok was asked to be a neutral observer (with cameras rolling) as there had been rumors of voting malfeasance in other counties by those county-wide delegates.  After that change up, I decided to participate again in the BCRC and offered GraniteGrok’s services (again, the cameras) in getting the BCRC’s messages out – like reports on bills going through their process as recounted by the NH State Senators and Representatives as well as by the various speakers.

Ever since that time, however, there has been a low-level animosity going on and it is my belief that Hough wanted to capitalize on it like how Doug Lambert (of DGF Industrial) and Jade Wood (NH GOP Area 5 Vice Chair) did to the other GAC Commissioners Peter Ness and Dr. David Strang and how the NH State Rep Tim Lang (and his “gang) were doing in the Delegation, the Sr. Mgt of Gunstock all quitting making SoulFest yet another political pressure point, et al.

Hough tried to follow suit, not understanding that he didn’t have the political chops to do so – his complaint’s mission was to get GraniteGrok, because of his dispute with me, he carried on the same political tactic that Progressives and the Left use – that of the politics of personal destruction. He wanted to have the BCRC Executive Committee throw GraniteGrok out of their meetings in retribution.

Here is his Complaint (emphasis mine):

Greetings Chair Silber, Vice Chair Terry, Treasurer Strang, Secretary Bean and Hon. Abear

I am writing you as I feel this is the appropriate avenue to voice my concern about allowing the press at BCRC meetings. If needed I am more than willing to address everyone at a meeting to share with the group, the following concerns.

I object to the presence of the press at our monthly meetings for the following reasons:

Whereas: The Granite Grok has included me in an article or two concerning the delegation and the gunstock situation. While I have no problem with an opposing view/opinion being published I do have a problem when content is made up, and selectively edited to present a disingenuous fabrication to fit the Groks narratives.
Whereas: To put it bluntly the Granite Grok has elevated itself to the current definition of journalism.
Whereas: This has made me lose all confidence in their ability to speak truth to power and I now question all articles and how much is just made up.
Whereas: This makes their presence not welcome as it is obvious that given provocation or the plain disposition of the Grok it can and will twist and fabricate as it sees fit.
Whereas: The Belknap County Republican Committee should be able to speak freely without the threat of retribution or publication of confidential and important political conversations, thus filming, or audio recordings, or both must not be allowed to continue as it disrupts the purpose of the gatherings.
Whereas: There is simply NO reason for the Granite Groks presence at our meetings.
Whereas: This request is not to disallow Republican people who work for or run the Grok to attend BCRC meetings as they have the right to attend as any other Republican in the County.

I ask that you consider the afore mentioned, as I for one will still attend when my availability allows, however if there is press there, I will not participate in my full capacity, nor do I believe other will, with the Granite Grok or any other press presence.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Regards,

Representative Gregg Hough

I have no problem posting it even though it was supposed to be a three-party-only document. At least that’s what I thought.  I learned that he made it a Public Document…

Yesterday was the hearing by the BCRC Executive Committee on this matter – and I found out that Gregg Hough had decided to share his complaint with the entire Belknap County Delegation (all Republicans).  So, a second attempt at alienating GraniteGrok, the county’s major Conservative media outlet, from its base even as the Delegation has NOTHING to do with his beef with a lowly constituent and nothing to do with the BCRC. In fact, I can say that with impunity as it came out during the BCRC-EC hearing that a good chunk of the Delegation are not members of the BCRC and never show up; a condition that Gregg Hough shares as he’s hardly attended at all since the new BCRC team took office.

And with that, let me end this by stating that if Hough’s purpose was to shut up GraniteGrok and myself, maybe I should put him into the same category as Jade Wood – he can’t even find the checkerboard while others are playing 4-D chess.

Sidenote: my board game of choice is this – it’s much faster:

 

(click to embiggen) Also known as Reversi, it is a far quicker game and much more dynamic.

Anyways, during the hearing, I presented my defense to each of his points.  I’ll post that next a bit later on. You’ll see where I point out his outright falsehoods, lack of proof, and his lack of reasoning.

To Be Continued…

What’s With This Foolish Divisiveness? It Should Stop!

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-08-26 19:30 +0000

Wanna know who is the problem? WE ARE THE PROBLEM. Moments ago, I saw a headline from Brighteon “Media Flips and Blames Trump for Vaccine Injuries.” I just know the next focus of interest articles will be an analysis of who could have done this did this awful thing (the blaming of Trump).

Think how childish it is for citizens to be engaging — some of them full-time — in defending either Trump or Hillary in regard to false claims they have made about each other. As if the person addressing that subject were addressing the real affairs of our nation.

Good God. This must stop. I also just saw this remark in a Granite Grok essay of 2019, taken from a Reuters report:

“Suicidal thinking, severe depression and rates of self-injury among U.S. college students more than doubled over less than a decade.”

That is something we should jump on — and turn it around. How dare we, yes I said WE, create such a situation that leads to suicide by young people?

And before dinner tonight (Aug 25, 2022), I spied a video of UK Prime minister (soon to quit) Boris Johnson yakking about Ukraine. Could he have anything of interest to tell? Of course not. He did not run the show in Britain. Theresa May did not run the show. John Major DID run the show, as we can tell from the fact that he is in The Order of the Garter.

Brain-Expansion Needed

OK, where was I? Ah, this article says we are needlessly, stupidly, buying into divisiveness. How many Republican meetings have I been to lately that say Biden is bringing us socialism, fie on him. Did any Republicans send back their stimulus checks? I never got mine, by the way, am blacklisted, so far, not lethally.

Political Party aside, all Americans will be needing urgent help when “THEY” cut off the electricity, the food supply, and everything else. So who gives a stuff if Hillary stole somebody’s emails? Hillary has done way worse. And why didn’t Trump lock her up? The last time I looked at Article II of the Constitution, it said “He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

Where was he for four years? And why didn’t he do a fireside chat to explain Jan 6th? He was president at the time. Remember — leader of the free world? Big guy? Can’t he open his mouth and explain to us how the Powers That Be set up the entire Jan 6 invasion? No, NOT for the purpose of DEPRIVING ONE MAN OF THE 2024 Presidency. To deprive us all of our political security and our national dignity. FIE ON THEM.
Jan 6

Here’s what happened on Jan 6, 2021. Starting at 1:30 pm, 138 House members did properly submit their challenges to the electoral college ballots from 3 states — Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Granted, the Invasion interrupted the proceedings, but these resumed from 9 pm to almost 4 am. There weren’t enough votes from both chambers to cause those ballots to be rejected (as is laid out in 3 USC 15). So Biden won.

Notice I did not say, “There weren’t enough Republican House members.” I said not enough all around. Why should Democrats be ASSUMED to be beyond the pale of reasoning? Why couldn’t Dems have saved us from bad countings? They know what it is to see Republicans grab a presidential win in 2004.

Does not one single, solitary member of both chambers (535 warm bodies) think it might be good to put the matter on the table as an American tragedy, not just a blow to one’s own Party?

Excuse me for this tirade, but we are spinning wheels. Even the new interest in DeSantis (or Newsom, OMG) is childish. There are thousands of men out there who are capable of being president. I can name one right now: Dan Andrews of the NH Legislature. Or Dan Itse. Or Therese Grinnell.

Not that it’s a big job. The Framers intended it to be small. Congress (aka the People) are in charge.

So Trump is being set up to take the rap for dead-vaccinated people? Fine. He did authorize Operation Warpspeed (for which I sued the DHHS and FEMA). Yes, he signed some kind of check to Pfizer and Modera “cuz they really needed help to make a vax” (for which they had had the patent already — natch).

The Parchment Ariseth

It is principally Congress’s fault. Congress holds the purse. There was no excuse for the House and Senate members in 1986 to create the National Vaccine Injury Act. How in the world can Congress say such-and-such can’t be sued when the Seventh Amendment protects everyone’s right to seek judicial redress for damages? “In suits at common law… the right to trial by jury shall be preserved.”

You hear remarks like, “Yeah, but nowadays, that has been eliminated by the DoJ.” WHAT?????

Would somebody pass me a Valium, please?

Better yet, elect me to the House, and we will get some action going against the NCVI legislation. Or maybe the Judiciary will get all piety-minded and beat the rush hour by re-opening the case of some poor soul who tried to sue for their autistic child and declare the precedent erroneous. I think such exhuming of an old decision is called “sua sponte” — the Great Nine do not even need to have a case in front of them.

My friends in Australia have told me that their plan is not to wait for the black-robed ones (Oh, I am referring to judges here) to avenge the deaths of Covid-vaxxed family members. They will instead focus on Leviticus 24:22.

Word-of-God type thing.

How Delivery Management Software Can Save Businesses Time and Money

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-08-26 19:17 +0000

Proper delivery management can save businesses time and money by optimizing delivery schedules and automating delivery operations in the mailroom. Keep reading to learn how delivery software can help your business improve its bottom line.

What is delivery software and how does it help businesses?

Delivery management software is a program that helps businesses manage their mailroom deliveries. It can save time and money by helping recipients track their shipments and get notified when a delivery matches their name. Office managers can utilize the software for more detailed reporting on delivery operations, proof of delivery, and ensuring that recipients will never miss any packages that they may have ordered from a retail business.

What are the benefits of using delivery management software?

Delivery management software can save companies time and money in a few ways. The first way is that it allows for better organization of deliveries. This means that the company can protect its deliveries more efficiently and make sure that everything is secure and recipients are notified on time. In addition, this software can help to track the status of each delivery, so recipients know whether their packages have arrived at all times. This can be helpful if a package needs to be tracked or if there is a problem with the delivery. Finally, using delivery management software can help recipients save money by keeping the mailroom more secure. There will be historical snapshots of the package as well as historical footage in case packages are lost or unaccounted for.

How does the delivery management solution work?

Office managers can scan the package label from any iPhone device. They can send a notification to the package recipient to pick up the mail. When working in conjunction with security cameras, the pickup process a lot more secure thanks to better visibility in the mailroom. This is great for both overall security and for recipients to feel satisfied and happy with the way the property is managed.

What are some of the best features you will find in a top-rated delivery management software?

You can utilize label OCR scanning, package photo validation, and user directory integration to ensure that the right packages end up with the correct recipients. The instant recipient notifications also make it easy for them to know when they should drop by the mailroom at the right time. This prevents deliveries from piling up in the mailroom. The software can also send automatic pickup reminders if it takes the recipient several days to pick it up. The mailroom dashboard allows delivery managers or office managers to have real-time visibility over the mailroom thanks to the use of video security integration. Filterable search functions are also available when utilizing delivery management programs.

What businesses could benefit from mailroom management?

Not only can these be used in traditional mailrooms, but they can also be used at loading dogs, reception areas, and warehouses or factories. Anywhere packages come and go, a delivery management system should be in use for better efficiency and security.

Does the software allow deliveries to be picked up by someone else?

If recipients want to grant permissions to another person to pick up the packages, these settings can be updated within the software. That way, both recipients and delivery managers will find every aspect of the delivery process more convenient.

Delivery management software can save businesses time and money by helping to automate and manage the mailroom and package delivery process. This software can help businesses track and manage any incoming deliveries, as well as optimize their notifications and pickup schedules. This can save businesses time and money by improving efficiency.

They Said Global Warming Would Impact Piping Plovers … And They Were Right!

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-08-26 18:00 +0000

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife has been “monitoring” nesting pairs of sea birds, particularly the Piping Plover, for years. That must mean that Global Warming is affecting these cute little birds. And they were right.

 

  • 2018: 68 nesting pairs
  • 2019: 89 nesting pairs – 175 fledglings
  • 2020: 98 nesting pairs – 199 fledglings
  • 2021: 125 nesting pairs – 213 fledglings
  • 2022: 140 nesting pairs – 221 fledglings

 

Climate change in Maine has been very good to the Piping Plover. But wait, perhaps you are to blame (for what is unclear)?

 

“Their habitat, sandy areas near water, has been heavily developed and heavily used by beachgoers over the years, which has been a component of their population decline. Additionally, intense hurricanes are repeatedly impacting their wintering areas.

 

I took a quick look, and there is no trend in hurricanes. The last 60 years have seen very few storms reach landfall in the US, but the past two decades had had just as many landfall hurricanes as in the 1850s when there was no man-made abundance of CO2 (the basis for all the modern fearmongering).

There have also been fewer intense storms, so I’m not clear how “intense” hurricanes are “repeatedly” impacting wintering areas. Those areas are North Caroling south into Florida. If that were indeed the case, then the last three decades should have improved the wintering conditions for the plovers.

In other words, they said “Global Warming” would impact Piping Plovers, and it has. Despite annual exhortations about the hottest months or years, the little critters have bounced back and thrived.

Sadly, the Warmists don’t get credit for a correct prediction because they meant things would get worse.

They didn’t.

Wrong again.

Those of us who can still see and feel are realizing that we are going to have to take matters in our own hands and look after our own families and communities.

Factors That Affect How Much Home You Can Afford

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-08-26 17:42 +0000

The home buying process can be exciting as you browse potential houses and find the perfect fit for your family. Before you settle on a house, however, you need to consider carefully how much house you can afford. How much home you can afford largely depends on your income, your debts, and your current financial situation. Keep reading to learn more about the factors that affect how much home you can afford.

Income

When you ask, “How much home can I afford?” the first thing you should consider is your income. Income is one of the most important factors when determining how much home you can afford. In general, the more money you make, the more house you can afford. Mortgage lenders will look at your income and debt-to-income ratio to get an idea of how much you can afford to borrow. They will also look at your employment history and your job stability. Generally, lenders will cap your mortgage at 28 to 36 percent of your monthly income. This includes all housing costs like your mortgage payments, property taxes, and homeowners insurance.

Down Payment

Your down payment also affects how much home you can afford. A larger down payment will reduce the size of your mortgage and result in lower monthly payments. It’s also important to remember that closing costs, or the fees charged by the lender for processing the loan, can add thousands of dollars to your purchase price. So if you’re looking to buy a home in the near future, start saving up!

Debt

Debt is a major factor when considering how much home you can afford. The more debt you have, the less home you can afford. This is because your monthly payments for debts take away from what you can pay for a mortgage. Debts like car payments, credit card payments, personal loans, and student loans will impact how much home you can afford. Lenders will usually look at the total amount of debt payments you’ll be making for the next 10 months.

The amount to owe versus how much money you make is known as your debt-to-income ratio (DTI). Your DTI is a percentage of your monthly debt payments to your monthly gross income. Your DTI will impact how much mortgage you can get. Generally, lenders like to see a DTI of 36 percent or less. If your DTI is higher than 36 percent, you may still be able to get a mortgage, but you may have to pay a higher interest rate, and your mortgage may be for a shorter term. Reducing your debt is the best way to get a bigger mortgage with better rates.

Credit Score

Your credit score is a number that lenders use to measure how risky it would be to loan you money. The higher your score, the less risky you are to lenders, and the more likely you will get a lower interest rate on a loan.

Your credit score is based on several factors detailed in your credit report. Factors include your history of paying bills on time, the amount of debt you have compared to your income, and the age of your credit accounts. Some other things that can affect your score include whether you’ve been late on rent or utility payments or have filed for bankruptcy.

The higher your credit score, the better your chances are of getting a mortgage. While your score isn’t a direct indicator of how much house you can afford, lenders typically want borrowers with scores above 720 to borrow 80 percent of their home’s value. Those with scores in the 600s may only be able to borrow 50 percent. Keep in mind that these are general guidelines and that each lender has its own criteria.

Overall, there are many factors that affect how much home you can afford. The most important factor is your income. Your mortgage lender will look at your gross monthly income to determine how much house you can afford to buy. They will also look at your monthly debts, including car payments, student loans, and credit card debts. The strength of your overall financial situation will determine how much house you can afford.

Bank Australia Decides That Only Rich People Should Be Able to Drive New Vehicles

If Western-Style Democracy is swirling the bowl, Australia is the largest turd about to go ’round the bend, if you take my meaning. They’ve abandoned all pretense, and even Bank Australia is getting in on the tyranny. It has announced that it will no longer offer loans for new gas-powered cars or trucks.

 

“Ultimately, our announcement today is the beginning of a conversation with our customers and a signal to the wider market that if you’re considering buying a new car, you should think seriously about an electric vehicle – both for its impact on the climate and for its lifetime cost savings.”

 

Okay, let’s think about electric vehicles. Wait, let’s think about how they are thinking about them instead.

First, everyone knows they were expensive before Joe Biden crashed the world economy. A boutique item for the well-to-do. Well over 90% of EV sales are by what EV proponents (Democrats) would call The Rich.

Post-Bidenflation, EVs are more expensive, which, when coupled with the dollar’s declining value, puts them further out of reach of everyone but the rich, who will also be the only ones pocketing the Democrats 7K taxpayer incentive “gimme” to buy them.

Bank Australia, ironically, understands that.

 

“While we will cease car loans for new fossil fuel cars from 2025, we are deeply aware that we need to support people not yet able to afford an electric vehicle while the market grows,” Courville said.

 

We get it, they say, but we’re still going to end loans for new cars you could once afford. If you’d like a loan for an electric vehicle, you may need to mortgage your home (if you have one) to make the monthly payments.

The result of which is what? People with enough money to buy a car outright will still be able to choose between gasoline or electric vehicles. Bank Australia just priced everyone but a select few from access to new automobiles.

The bank did say they would continue to offer loans on used gas-powered vehicles, but if Australia is anything like the US, there are not many of those around. Demand and inflation have driven up the cost of buying and owning any vehicle.

Sinister? Deliberate?

I’d expect this to spread around the globe in line with the Left’s “we don’t want you to have personal mobility” agenda. And it does belong to them. AOC’s Green New Deal (which the Dems love) is about limiting transportation to the elite.

So, how about horses? Will the bank loan you money to buy a horse because that otherwise leaves us with bicycles or our feet – there is no reliable, regular public transportation to the less urban areas of either country.

And how is that not discrimination? The body positivity victim class, a subset of middle to low-income individuals who are calorically handicapped, will be hit hardest.

Or are they expecting the impending cricket diet to address that problem? I can’t imagine anyone getting obese eating bugs, assuming that doesn’t kill them – which I hear is also very slimming. You’d not then need transportation after a trip to the mortuary and an oven to hide any evidence that eating bugs or your COVID vaccine unwound your mortal coil.

The FBI Raid at Mar-A-Lago Was One-Sided, Undemocratic

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-08-26 13:30 +0000

If you think that the raid, oh, excuse me, warrant execution at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence (by multiple heavily armed agents of the state, some wearing tactical gear) is acceptable or even wonderful, you might want to pause and think again.

The search was ostensibly for documents, not narcotics that could be flushed away or a bomb that could be detonated. Paper, including, per several reports, a cocktail napkin.

Were the agents expecting armed resistance? Perhaps the documents were going to be thrown in a fire pit?

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said that no one is above the law. Agreed.

One of our founding principles is that the law should be applied to everyone equally, regardless of their position. Also agreed.

Now, for a moment, imagine that the political leanings were reversed: that a Republican administration sent the same agents into the home of a Democratic politician who wasn’t there.
Does that still seem acceptable?

Well then, where was the raid on Barack Obama’s home after missing records were noted back in 2018? Or the raid on Eric Holder’s home after the “fast and furious” gun probe of the late 2000s? Or the raid on Hillary Clinton’s home after Director James Comey’s 30-minute exposition on the alleged illegal acts relating to her server? Or the raid on the Clinton home after the reports of many missing items after they vacated the White House? Jeffrey Epstein’s customer list? And currently, where is the raid and indictment of Hunter Biden after admitting to crimes and with video evidence of others?

No one is above the law, you say? Who will hold the FBI accountable for the Steele dossier/collusion hoax, their lying to the FISA court, the efforts of agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page to undermine the Trump presidency, or the suppression of Hunter’s laptop?

Scientists Find Toxic Components (Metallic Elements) in COVID Vaccines and the Blood of Vaccine Recipients

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-08-26 12:00 +0000

“Scientists Find Toxic Components in COVID Vaccines” is the sort of headline that gets you kicked off Twitter, but it’s true. Some German scientists have found “toxic components—mostly metallic—in all the COVID vaccine samples they analyzed.”

What else could I call it, the Inflation Reduction Act? More research the Machine will have to deny? Oh, look, the COVID vaccines change your blood (it does).

 

The Working Group for COVID Vaccine Analysis says that some of the toxic elements found inside the AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Moderna vaccine vials were not listed in the ingredient lists from the manufacturers. …

These substances, furthermore, “are visible under the dark-field microscope as distinctive and complex structures of different sizes, can only partially be explained as a result of crystallization or decomposition processes, [and] cannot be explained as contamination from the manufacturing process,” the researchers found.

 

The Working Group is an “internationally networked working group, with a core team of more than 60 doctors, physicians, pharmacists, scientists, mathematicians, alternative health practitioners, lawyers and journalists.

Related: Will a Small Magnet Stick to Your Experimental Vaccine Injection Spot?

So, some concerned scientists (not to be confused with the Union of Concerned Scientists) have examined the ingredient list for these vaccines, and then the vaccines themselves, and are finding things in them that the manufacturers never disclosed. The result: the conspiracy theorists were right. There are junk “metals” in these vaccines.

Do you know what else about which they were right?

 

Using a small sample of live blood analyses from both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, we have determined that artificial intelligence (AI) can distinguish with 100% reliability between the blood of the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. This indicates that the COVID-19 vaccines can effect long-term changes in the composition of the blood of the person vaccinated without that person being aware of these changes.

 

The vaccinated have distinctly different blood from the unvaccinated. That’s huge, but wait, there’s more (reformatted)!

 

We have found crystalline formations in the blood of all the vaccinated people whose blood we examined. We are continuing to analyse these formations. In every case that we have examined, we have observed a rouleaux formation of the erythrocytes (the red blood cells) and we frequently observe an unusually rapid disintegration of the different types of cells in the vaccinated blood that we examine.

We are exploring the hypothesis that arteriosclerosis could be just one of many long-term effects that those vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccines will have to face. If this hypothesis is confirmed, the consequences would be wide-reaching in terms of both health and socio-economics.

Autoimmune diseases weakened immune systems, inflammatory conditions, arteriosclerosis etc. are insidious diseases that can lead to organ damage, high blood pressure, heart attacks, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and shorten life expectancy. The unclear disease pattern conceals the possibility that COVID-19 vaccinations may play a causal role in the disease.

 

Weakened immune systems. Inflammatory conditions. Heart attacks.

It is obvious what must happen next. The published research is tagged as preliminary, giving the Public Health Industrial Complex time to pillory, smear, ruin, misdirect, or destroy everyone involved.

But with 60 people involved, that might not be as easy as they think.

 

You can read the research report here (local copy, given that these things have a way of disappearing).

RINO Report: Dan Wolf

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-08-26 10:30 +0000

Merrimack district 7 (New London, Newbury) has a 3 for 2 primary. Two newcomers, Claire Ketteler and John Bowman are on the ballot against a RINO. At least one of them, ideally both of them, will be on November’s ballot. Voters will finally have a chance to vote for a real Republican.

Dan Wolf has been the worst RINO of the last six years, arguably the worst of the last decade. He certainly would make the top five worst RINOs.

In his first term, he voted 103 times for Democrats against Republicans. That earned him 5th place among RINOs. Brenda Willis was the top RINO.

We want to thank Spec Bowers for this Op-Ed. Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

Since then, he has been far and away the worst RINO. In 2019-20 he voted 107 times against Republicans. Second place was Betty Gay, with a “mere” 88 bad votes. In 2021-22, Wolf set an all-time record of 198 bad votes. Second place went to James Allard with 123 votes.

Let’s hope Wolf is never given a chance to break his own record.

Here are some highlights (lowlights?) of Wolf’s career.

The North Country Is Broken: How We Fix It Right Now

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-08-26 01:30 +0000

My family has always believed the Granite State would stand strong for multiple generations to come. I was proud to be raised from deep roots in God’s Country. So, it has been tough to come back to New Hampshire, only to see how decades of political neglect in the North Country has chipped away at our Yankee foundation.

Granite may be rock hard, but to last and shine, it needs regular cleaning. When it is cracked and broken, it needs a skilled touch to repair it. This election, it is time to clean up and fix our politics in Concord. We need to get back to leadership, not lies. We need to increase common sense, not corruption. We need representatives who stand for moral living, and not money grabbing. The North Country “good ole boys club” has long benefited wealthier families in the region and that has cost the citizens in Colebrook, Columbia, and Stewartstown. Enough is enough.

As a 9th generation blueblood Yankee, I am an investor, a job creator, a donor, a servant, a volunteer, a friend, a dog whisperer, and a neighbor. Your stories of how our North Country people have been hurt, intimidated, or silenced by power-hungry politicians, motivated me to run for State Representative. Conversations with local business owners, elected officials, community influencers, and volunteers made it clear to me that the “good ole boys” have a strong grip in this part of the Granite State. Their political staying power comes from using the system to extract money from the people – you know, through taxes, fees, duties, and the like – and giving benefits only to those who help to keep them in power.

We want to thank Gary Whitehill for this Op-Ed. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE
you would like us to consider, please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

No wonder life for North Country residents and families is tough. Concord intentionally forgets anything above the Notch. Meanwhile, local property tax rates are through the roof (and going higher) all the while inflation eats away at our wages, industries, and tourism prospects. Even worse, basics seem to be forgotten locally: roads, sidewalks, roads, sidewalks! Out on the campaign trail, the #1 complaint I’ve heard from 1000+ residents is that NOBODY LISTENS to them – they feel they are ignored at both local and state levels.

When did our politicians forget that their job is to serve the people? We have a state capitol that doesn’t care about us, local politicians who don’t listen to us and we live in a state surrounded by blue on all its flanks. This is why I am running for State Representative in Coos County District 3, to represent Colebrook, Columbia, and Stewartstown as a public servant, and I am determined to get better results. How? Let’s start by using common sense, bulldozing through the lies, and fighting for the people. No more waiting for the outcomes our communities need.

I have spent the past twenty years breaking down barriers and building better platforms so that people, businesses, and communities can thrive. My personal motto is “Stop at nothing. Achieve everything.” My whole life I have competed with people who had more education, more money, and more resources. My blue-collar upbringing and real-world life lessons taught me what it takes to succeed as a leader, especially when times are hard and the odds are stacked mightily against you.

One thing you can trust is that my Granite-strong family roots have made me resilient, dogged, and determined. My pledge to you is to bring that same persistent energy to fight for your interests in Concord – with grit, discipline, and decency. Because what every North Country resident deserves is a healthy, vibrant economy that brings with it safety, security, and an ability to take care of your family. If our North Country community wants to climb beyond the hardship mountain, we must push for a giant shift in politics, where our public leaders are accountable, transparent, and less self-serving.

I promise to be driven and relentless when it comes to preserving everything that makes the North Country good, and to building better, more resilient options that will bolster the economy so that we can revitalize our community.

My action plan is to focus on how we achieve livable wages, good help in our local businesses, a growing customer base, affordable taxes, adequate funding to enforce the law, support for local farms, and new opportunities for children and young families. First, I am targeting decisive results for you in three community-centered goals:

  • Eradicating the drug problem.
  • Attracting young working families who share our values.
  • Increasing the number of small businesses in the area to provide good jobs.

I am running for State Representative because I care about fixing the cracks. I care about our residents, our families, our community, our small businesses, and our way of life. I will fight for you, for your family, and for the legacy of our great region. You deserve true leadership and a strong, new voice in Concord that will do whatever it takes and is not afraid of “good ole boy” retribution or repercussions.

Do you want decision-making driven by common sense?

Are you tired of lies and political pandering?

Are you sick of feeling like you, your family and the North Country are being left behind?

Make your vote count for better this September 13th. If you feel it is time to get better results, vote for the person who is going to be driven and relentless for you.

Vote Gary!

Biden Goes to College to Buy Votes

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-08-26 00:00 +0000

Apparently, Joe Biden got tired of kicking the can down the road. He has been extending the moratorium on student loans, but today he took the next step.

He is again placating the upper class by redistributing wealth from everyday hard-working Americans to pay for a portion of the student loan balance for all who currently have an outstanding balance.

Biden took to the podium this afternoon and gave another of his rambling, walk-down-memory-lane orations to make the audience think he is one of them, good old Joe from Scranton. They are old, boring, phony, and out of touch, just like his decisions. Today’s announcement is very transparent. Biden had lost the 18-35-year-old voting block. Once one of his strengths, this group tired of his performance, and his approval ratings with them had tanked. He is hoping to buy them back, and what better way than with our dime?

He plans to suspend payments one final time until December 31. He is canceling up to $10,000 for anyone making less than $125,000 and $20,000 if a Pell Grant. Canceling is a misnomer, like the Inflation Reduction Act. For they don’t really get canceled, the burden for the loan shifts to the taxpayer. This is another way that Biden is hurting all Americans. Biden’s plan is not only unfair for many reasons but may also prove to be unconstitutional.

In addition to his long-winded speech about his Dad, he also used some key phrases that ensure you know he is lying. Whenever a speaker says, “let me be clear,” they are not being honest. Whenever a speaker says that something is a Game-changer, someone is getting screwed. He used both terms many times today, which is not a good sign for the Big Guy.

One thing I need to note about the timing of this announcement. Joe Biden has been on vacation for weeks in a combo of time-off and COVID. During that time, he flew to Washington to sign the Inflation Reduction Act and returned to make today’s announcement on student loan forgiveness. And he was in Delaware the day of the Mar-A-Lago raid. All of these have overshadowed the anniversary of the Afghanistan Surrender and the death of 13 brave Americans at the hands of the Taliban. Convenience or just lucky timing, but unmistakable.

The bill announced today is unfair for many reasons. One, it only pertains to those with a student loan balance. Take out a loan tomorrow, and you are on your own. If you paid off your loan, good for you, but you get nothing from this bill. And, if you never had a student loan or never went to college, you now have student loan debt. Thank you very much.

This bill may never pay anyone a dime as it will surely be challenged in court. Any resolution will come after the midterms, and it will already have the desired effect, securing the 18-35 votes. Only Congress has the authority to spend money, but that won’t stop Joe. He and his family are used to selling their name or buying votes. The shame is that he never uses his money but ours.

I’m Radical, Oh So Radical

Granite Grok - Thu, 2022-08-25 22:30 +0000

Full confession, I am completely radical by Leftist standards. I freely admit I am a Christian, I believe in God, Jesus, and Christian values. And there’s more! I confess that I love America or what America was as I was growing up.

I believe our Constitution was and is the most important document written in the past five or six hundred years of history. It’s a document that guarantees the principles of human rights unknown ever before to my knowledge. Yes, I’m so radical that I believe in law and order and equal justice under the laws, including civil rights.  Oh yeah, I’m radical; I believe our border laws should be enforced (oh, the horror)! I believe criminals of any race, religion, or sex should be held responsible for their actions.

Now the really bad part: I believe there are only two sexes, male and female. Worse I believe no male can get pregnant or give birth. I know, I know, this is total wokeness heresy, but I can not find one example in all medical science history to support any other conclusion. Oh yes, it gets worse! In all that medical history, not one example could I find of a human morphing from one gender to the other.

Could there be something I’m missing in my research? Nope, nothing in the Merrick manual or Lippencourt’s. I just can’t find where those on the Left get their authoritative standards. But if you ask them, they tell you, “everyone knows” or “I know all I need to know”; they must have some special source the rest of us don’t have.

Well, I think I know where they get it. It’s in the kindergarten sandbox playing “make believe.” It’s their favorite game where they can insult the grown-ups, tell lies, and laugh about it. Pretty sure that’s it, so if you are as guilty as I am, and as radical too, next time one of them calls you a name, tell them to go back to the sandbox and play with the rest of the children.

We grown-ups have more important things to do.

WATCH: Where Does YOUR CD-1 Congressional Candidate Stand on the Important Issues?

Granite Grok - Thu, 2022-08-25 21:00 +0000

The Government Integrity Project (GIP) hosted a debate of U.S. Congressional Candidates at Grace Ministries International in Brentwood, NH on August 13, 2022 (video is below). NH State Rep. Tim Baxter, Gail Huff-Brown, Karoline Leavitt, and Russell Prescott all participated in the informative and energetic event that lasted about 90 minutes.

Perhaps Candidate Matt Mowers refused to participate because he was afraid he would have to explain why he voted twice in 2016 in the Presidential Primary and then have to defend why he embraces “Election Integrity” as one of his campaign issues.  Mowers also supports Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House. McCarthy would have the authority to shut down “America First” on day one. But that’s another story…

Related: CD-1 Candidate Tim Baxter: Why the Vote for Speaker of the House is “Almost the Only Vote That Matters”

The debate provided insights as to where each candidate stood on a wide range of questions before ~160 enthusiastic attendees who showed up and made their voices heard. All questions were answered openly and honestly, except for one… by one candidate: “If elected, who would you support for Speaker of the House?”

Only Karoline Leavitt refused to answer the simple question. Instead, she provided a non-answer.

One of her opponents, Tim Baxter called her out – and claimed that Leavitt endorsed Kevin McCarthy both in writing and on video. That exchange was repeated multiple times, and each time, Leavitt shook her head “no” and then responded with another non-answer. It was disappointing to see that from Leavitt, because she has been pushing for transparency and change in our federal government. Baxter subsequently made this Twitter post to back up his claims.

NH-NeverTrumpJournal Still Shilling For Biden

Granite Grok - Thu, 2022-08-25 19:30 +0000

So some radio show recently hosted a debate for the GOP CD-1 candidates. Of course, the NHGOP-Establishment moderator tried to get the candidates to sign on to the NHGOP-Establishment’s narrative that 2020 was a resounding rejection of Trump and the GOP needs to get back to its Bush-Cheney-McCain-Romney roots. Karoline Leavitt was having none of it,

 

… which made Mike Graham’s head explode:

 

 

You have to be some kind of Trump-deranged … which obviously Mike Graham is … to still be claiming the 2020 election was not rigged. It obviously and undeniably was.

Zuckerbucks, the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop, Pfizer delaying the roll-out of its COVID vaccine to prevent Trump from getting the credit, and the list goes on and on.

NH-NeverTrumpJournal represents the loser-mentality-wing of the GOP. He and his ilk loathe and despise actual GOP voters and prefer having the GOP in a minority that they control rather than allowing GOP voters to elect the candidates that they want.
