It was in the low to mid-90s the past two days and will be the same today. Everyone around here is looking for ways to stay cool, checking on elderly neighbors, and keeping their pets indoors. But one thousand nine hundred fifty miles west of me, they got a foot of snow.

A low pressure system will bring heavy wet snow to portions of the Northern Rockies, increasing the risk of power outages and leading to difficult backcountry conditions tonight into Tuesday. Key messages are provided in the graphic below.

I blame global warming. It is the cause of everything – the proverbial Satan with Western worshipers who want nothing more than to be comfortable, which is an interesting coincidence. I got an email from our electricity provider in the days before the sweltering heat descended upon us. Their suggestion was to find ways to use less electricity. You don’t hear that when it’s cold and snowy – assuming you still have electricity. Freezing to death happens, but so does heat stroke and all that good stuff. This is why they also ask you to care for pets and check on the elderly. But wouldn’t it make more sense to be in a literal position of power? Where the infrastructure can’t wait to handle peak load times like 96-degree days in the Northeast?

It will be hot, but no worries—we have the capacity to spare. So stay cool, and remember to check on your elderly relatives and neighbors. And yes, we could make fists full of money, but your electric usage is your choice. We’re just happy to be able to provide when called upon.

That’s not the world you get to live in when the prevailing position of “leadership” is that you must learn to do with less.

That’s not America. And I’m not saying anyone should be wasteful or misuse the resources. I am suggesting that you don’t create anything, especially comfort, when your priority is convincing people to have less, do less, and be less.

Montana and Idaho’s snow will melt in a few days (at least at the lower altitudes), while the weather here in New Hampshire will get closer to normal. However, the agenda continues to be about decline and characterized by minimalism while the elites and ruling class spend away our future.

Minimalism should be a choice, not a command.

We have talked about President Joe Biden freezing three times in the last two weeks. He went into a trance at the Juneteenth festival, surrounded by folks dancing and clapping, but not stoic Joe. He was frozen like a statue.

In Italy, at the G7 meeting, where the heads of state focused on the skydiver who landed closest to the group, Joe was walking off toward another group of divers when he was stopped and turned around by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Finally, Joe was on stage with Barack Obama at a fundraiser when he froze again and was rescued by Obama, who led Joe off the stage. These three situations happened within ten days.

When Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the situation, she immediately claimed Right-wing media teams manipulated the videos to make the president look especially bad. She called the videos “cheap fake,” and the news agencies should be called out for spreading misinformation or disinformation. KJP is the one who should be called out. The videos in question were official pool feeds of the event and were shown in their entirety. Nobody in the briefing room challenged the liar secretary. KJP is a National Embarrassment. She went on to say these fakes show how desperate the Republicans are that instead of talking about the many accomplishments of Biden, they disparage him instead.

Legacy media joined forces with the White House, and people like Nicole Wallace and Joe Scarborough were apoplectic in their reporting of the Cheap Fakes. These mainstream media outlets had nothing to say about the White House refusing to release the audio version of the President’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. They know the tone of the audio transcript would be very dangerous for the president.

In another document that should be rather innocuous is the Defense Budget proposal. Ordinarily the budget is given its new budget number based on the previous year’s numbers. Fortunately, someone on the Right performed their due diligence and read the budget. Buried in the text was an edict to have every female register for the draft upon her 18th birthday. Republican members of Congress were furious when they learned of the additional verbiage added to the budget and vowed not to vote for any defense bill calling for young women to register for the draft.

KJP lectured the White House Press Pool, and it is disappointing that not a single person stood their ground and told Karine she was wrong. These “reporters” are part of the problem when they hear a blatant falsehood and do not challenge the person spewing the misinformation. They are complicit in their inaction. The actions of the White House are a perfect example of projection, and it is insulting.  I had two articles censored by Facebook last week that contained nothing but facts and opinions. Still,  this woman, who speaks for the President, can lie to us every time her lips move behind the mic is destructive to the government’s credibility. Thankfully we have only seven months left before she is retired.

The post Lies And Deceit Will Be Biden Legacy appeared first on Granite Grok.

The last time I looked at myself in the mirror, I did not see a rabid, clueless, insane, brainless Trump worshipper, as the sheeple of Biden’s flock love to call me – and call 81 million other supporters of Donald Trump.

I see a sensible, rational, independent thinker who possesses self-directed reasoning. I can judge for myself on the issues based on policies of an administration, not on the emotional perceptions and disinformation of character as told by a partisan media.

The Biden sheeple are helplessly captivated by what the Democrat-owned liberal mainstream media tells them. It is all about partisan power. Democrats own the vast majority of all media outlets in this country and, therefore, control the message and control the people.

Most people get their news from the MSM, and they parrot what they’re told. Liberal media perpetuate their unchallenged lies and false claims of Trump and the people believe them. They react emotionally and retaliate with melodramatic name-calling against Trump supporters.

And the hate continues.

Even an intelligent person like attorney Bill Shaheen, in his May 22 op-ed, makes a fool of himself by parroting the false media narrative of Trump being a dictator on day one. Shaheen’s mind appears to be closed to the fact that Trump said he would be ‘dictator’ ONLY on day one – and that was to close our borders.

Shaheen also makes ridiculous claims, without proof, of Trump dismantling military protections. In his first term, President Trump rebuilt our military and he projected strength to our enemies and security to our allies. Trump also signed defense bills providing more than $25 million to support New Hampshire’s Army National Guard. He signed the VA Mission Act which improved access to timely, quality health care for all our veterans.

Shaheen is proud to be a veteran and should be. Our thanks go out to him for his service. However, to denigrate Trump for not answering the call of service without also mentioning that Biden, Obama, and Clinton did not serve in the military exposes Shaheen’s partisan hypocrisy. Shame on him.

If you’ve heard the term ‘kangaroo court’ but never knew what it meant, you’ve now witnessed one in a Manhattan courtroom. This was not a judicial proceeding, it was a political proceeding; a nauseating show of an imperial court system in NYC.

Judge Juan Merchan is compromised. As a Biden political donor he has exhibited judicial partiality by refusing to recuse himself. The Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who initially refused to prosecute the misdemeanor charge against Trump more than seven years ago is equally corrupt. Once Trump announced he is running for president, the charge has been engineered and elevated from a misdemeanor to a felony. It stinks.

The machinations of the case have never been made clear and remain unsolved. How does a misdemeanor charge which DA Bragg, and his predecessor opted not to prosecute seven years ago, now suddenly become a felony? Where is the crime? Does it exist only in the imaginations of a Trump Derangement Syndrome-suffering judge and prosecutor?

It is clearly a case of lawfare and is 100% politically motivated.

The constant attacks against Trump are the primal screams of a dying regime. But the liberal media bias against Trump will continue to captivate the uninformed Trump haters with disinformation and misleading narratives. And the Biden sheeple will remain besotted with the lies.

Biden is the most divisive president ever. His weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI and his targeting of a political opponent is an affront to American Values and Law & Order.

According to the Washington Post Biden’s approval rating is now down to 37%. The lowest rating of any U.S. president in history. Inflation is rampant…prices at the pump and the grocery store continue to hurt Americans. Our borders are in shambles.

Biden keeps saying that no one is above the law. That should include illegals too!

The Biden Administration poses a moral and financial threat to our Democracy. Not to the Democrats’ version of Democracy. But to a Democracy for everyone!

Policies matter. Don’t be brainwashed. Think for yourselves.

The post Bill Shaheen’s Hyperbolic Fearmongering appeared first on Granite Grok.

“Joe is so effective in spite of his age, but because of it,” Jill Biden said as she addressed a group of seniors this week. The discussion of age is delicate and subjective. The age number is a marker of time since birth but tells little about the condition and quality of one’s life.

Dr. Jill does not understand this concept, as well as many others, as she drew a direct comparison between Joe at 81 and Trump at 78, saying they are virtually the same age. Chronologically, she is correct, but there is no comparison between the two presidents’ energy levels and mental acuities. You just need to open your eyes as you watch these two men go about their duties. The reality of the disparity is so controversial that it is challenging to understand.

Is this woman not looking, or does the First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, have an ulterior motive for encouraging Joe to stay in the race? If the reason is to fatten the retirement fund, then shame on her. If it is to be a safety net for Hunter, then Biden has set America up for another big lie. Biden has already assured America that he will not retaliate and will not pardon or commute his son. Rest assured that should he lose in November or be replaced on the ballot, his last act going out the door will be a pardon or commutation for the First Son.

This election should not be close. It is the first time in modern history that two presidents are running for re-election. This scenario allows us to evaluate their records. Remove the pandemic from Trump’s first term; his results far exceed Biden’s. Biden basically reversed every Trump initiative or achievement on Day One in 2021. After Trump’s gains, Biden’s actions and policies have put America in a dark place. Trump is gaining in the polls as Biden is dropping, but watching these two men and evaluating their plans, the spread should be even more expansive in Trump’s favor.

Now, we have to address the elephant in the room. Can we be assured of a fair election? Unfortunately, the answer is no.

The Democrat’s election playbook is far more advanced than the Republican’s, and not every play is Kosher or legal. They are already the masters of the ballot box. They have the correct message to address Early Voting, Absentee Ballots, Campus Voting, Ballot Harvesting, and Voter Transportation. There is one more new voter activity that should be sounding alarms.

According to the New York Post: Welfare offices and other agencies in 49 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship, leading Republicans and conservatives to call for swift federal action to stop the handouts

Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.

There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.

However, millions of migrants with humanitarian parole, refugee, or asylum status are eligible for benefits that would bring them to the offices where voter registration occurs.

The Democrats see these activities as legal, while Republicans contend they are a stretch of election laws. Any questioning of these practices by the Right is labeled as “election interference” by the Left. Trump should defeat Biden handily on a level playing field. With the Left, there is no such field.

The post Jill Biden Says Don’t Believe Your Eyes appeared first on Granite Grok.

The 2024 Presidential contest is unique in that both candidates’ records are publicly reviewable. This has rarely occurred, and never were they so diametrically different. This available data nullifies the usual campaign boasting and promising and may simplify the choice.

Such an offering, if common sense is still in play, shows that one side is such a total failure that it’s a stretch even to award a “participation trophy” when screwing up has been this damaging and dangerous!

Our political world has been in a reset mode for roughly the last ten years, mainly due to the influence of a non-career candidate who eventually refused payment for his service to our country. Say what? This rare sacrifice has been absent since President Washington. Between these bookends of patriotic integrity are the legions of bureaucrats who seek both the maintenance of power and self-betterment at any cost.

So, comparatively speaking, this division is so stark that the political bias that normally fuels all campaign seasons now centers upon name-calling and slanderous accusations, which are strengthened by this blatant, in-your-face lying, which typifies the desperation from contending against a truthful opponent.

Today’s political restructuring has been a long time in coming since one side has operated in these falsehoods, which over time have been believed in part because “that’s the way it’s always been.”

Occasionally, a truthful approach was presented but neutralized by an avalanche of distortions and false propaganda. In the early fifties, Ohio’s conservative Senator, Robert Taft, was about to be the Republican candidate until “the hero” of WWII, Eisenhower, switched parties and bested Taft in the primary. Then there was Sen. Barry Goldwater in 1964, who was hammered in the media and was falsely connected in a TV commercial depicting a little girl plucking flower petals as an atomic mushroom cloud rises in the background. This slanderous but frightful example signaled future distortions, ala, Trump will start WWIII if elected!

However, the difference between back then and 2016 was the element of surprise. The latter contest featured one side joking, even guaranteeing that Trump would “never be President.” Some were so confident, they even pleaded for him to enter the race, while considering it to be just another promotional stunt from a showman. They failed to listen or even notice that his heart rang with loving words of praise for his country! His opposition was ultimately shocked but the Country benefited greatly!

As stated, today presents a probable election certainty by undeniable comparisons. One side has proven to be beneficial, while the other has yet to promote one problem-solving initiative or simply even one worthwhile suggestion! This feat seems almost impossible when being the leader of the country he is trying to “unify” but actions speak louder than words, always have and always will!

So this is the stage on which the opponents will vie for our Presidency. We need not list the negatives versus the positives, however, maybe a deserving comment or two.

First, why the re-opening of our borders so that who knows who enters but more unsettling, who cares? From this anti-American policy, voters are left wondering just which country our President is serving! Secondly, is the prostitution of this climate hysteria at the point that the gasoline engine is such a devastating enemy that we now must buy electric vehicles! Imagine this “must buy” edict in “the land of the free!” In addition, this Presidential “uniter” has just about outlawed all of America’s oil production while continuing to close our fossil-fuel-generating plants.

No longer can lofty promises combined with slandering the opponent carry the election season to success since campaigning must tackle the impossible task of putting a mask on an ineptness that borders upon treason!

When the lies are intended to dismiss what has already been personally witnessed, the “jig is up!” What else is left? I shuttered to think, especially when talk surfaces about whether Secret Service protection is still warranted when the protected one is a convicted felon! This is a very precarious atmosphere and one that truly defines the meaning of this November.

On June 15th, Woke-Communist OLIGARCHS like George Clooney and Jimmy Kimmel hosted a “fundraiser” for BidenX … attended by the billionaires that the corrupt “media” keep telling us BidenX is “fighting” for us.

And BidenX had ANOTHER BRAIN FREEZE … and had to be led off the stage LIKE A CHILD by Obama.

 

The Biden “freeze” cut is a single camera shot, never moves off Biden.

This Biden team footage cuts away multiple times, then goes to a far-away cam shot when Biden freezes, before Obama escorts him off by the hand. https://t.co/8FniDbpuVK

The post ICYMI – Biden Had ANOTHER Brain Freeze appeared first on Granite Grok.

The Left, moderates and Radicals alike, have banded together to quickly respond and react to any statement they can elaborate on, use to their advantage, and be consistent on topic across the party as quickly as humanly possible. It does not matter if the facts are correct.

If you say something often enough, and the mainstream media covers you and substantiates your story, everyone to the left of reality will believe you.

This week, this coordinated effort to take a sound bite or quote from Donald Trump and twist and manipulate it to mean the opposite of the original. During Trump’s meetings with Republican Congressional members, he allegedly commented about Milwaukee, the host city of the upcoming Republican convention. From people in the room who heard the President firsthand, Trump was commenting on the crime problem in Milwaukee and the status of election integrity in Wisconsin. He referred to both as horrible.

Of course, many who were not in the room, politicians, celebrities, and, of course, the media, took great liberties in quoting the President, who they did not hear. Suddenly, the specific comments on two real situations became a general statement that Milwaukee was a “horrible city.” The media was in a frenzy, and Democrats seized the opportunity to pounce.

This reaction from the Left showed how quickly they could mobilize and distribute a message. Of course, they took to the air with their versions of Trump’s words, billboards went up in Milwaukee to show the residents what the Former President thought of them, t-shirts and pins were available to commemorate the moment, and nobody asked the one simple, basic question of these people; were you in the room and what did the President say.

With a President who has gone into three deep freezes in the last week, the Democrats have a candidate who embarrasses more often than enlightens, no policies that the public will embrace, and a track record that has nothing to brag about. They have no choice but to turn up the gaslighting and outright lie.

Karine Jean-Pierre held the first White House Press Briefing in three and one-half weeks. This is unconscionable at a time when we have two wars, a border still in crisis, and an election in about five months. She had to know she would field questions on Biden’s recent health issues, yet the best she could do was claim the videos were manipulated. Are you kidding? This theory is even worse than the Democrats disavowing the Hunter Biden laptop or the Biden Cartel has not raked in millions selling influence in Washington. It was disgusting and further fueled by KJP’s grossly condescending tone she used when delivering this drivel.

America deserves better than they are getting from this White House, or do they since they put this Team Biden in the White House? I am convinced that Joe Biden will not be the candidate, and the chances are better than even if there is no debate. The question is, who will the Dems pull off their weak bench to finish the game? Talk today actually hinted at Hillary warming up in the bullpen. On the same day, it was disclosed that every federal agency interacting with illegal migrants is handing out voter registration forms. The Democrat election corruption is rising to new levels, and it may be impossible to beat whichever inadequate candidate they may call upon.

As a reminder, they are memes. Some are made up. They are not to be dissected or fact-checked. And like the corporate media, they are not to be taken seriously but enjoyed for the fantasy that they portray. And, often, some biting sarcasm.
