For all the talk amongst the never-Trumpers about keeping The Donald off state ballots, perhaps someone should have spent more time trying to get his challenger on them. Maine has announced that Chris Christie lacked the signatures needed to appear on its ballot, and so he will not.
In order to be on the ballot for Maine’s March 5, 2024, primary election, candidates must have 2,000 in-state signatures, but state officials said Saturday he didn’t make the cut.
“The deadline for candidates for president to turn in a sufficient number of signatures to be on the March 5, 2024, primary election ballot was 5 p.m. today,” Maine’s Secretary of State said in a press release.
Christie only received 844 signatures, Maine Director of Elections Heidi Peckham told CBS News.
Christie’s Maine Campaign claims they submitted over 6,000 signatures and has appealed though I’m not sure why. By all accounts, he’s polling badly there (Asa Hutchinson also failed to make the ballot), but he’s not spending his own money so what the heck. Appeal away.

What are the two major accomplishments of the U.S. House GOP? Fully funding … repeatedly … the Biden agenda and expelling a solid conservative based merely on allegations of wrongdoing. Not convictions but merely allegations. Nearly ONE-HALF of the GOP Reps joined with the Democrats to expel George Santos.
Not a single impeachment, no end to the runaway, unsustainable, wasteful Ukraine-spending … but now the GOP’s razor-thin majority is even thinner. WHY? It is because the GOP is a Party of cowards and frauds.
Expelling George Santos was nowhere on the list of priorities of actual GOP voters. But it was very, very, very important to the Regime-media. So bye-bye Rep. Santos. Such cowards.
And such frauds. As but one example, insider-trading is rampant in Congress. Yet the self-righteous GOP Reps who voted to expel Santos have no problem with that. What frauds.
Reaction on X:
Republicans won't impeach Mayorkas.
Won't defund any part of the Biden regime.
Won't fund Trump's wall.
Won't investigate voter fraud.
Won't investigate FBI.
Won't defend J6 political prisoners.
WILL vote to expel a Republican fabulist because media tells them to.
Cowards

Exactly. They didn’t get rid of Santos because he’s a corrupt liar. THEY’RE ALL CORRUPT LIARS.
They got rid of him because 1) he made them look like the clowns they are, and 2) they’re stupid cowards who are desperate for the approval of people who hate them and their voters. https://t.co/7UVaMxSmyU

Santos is a clown. But a clown that voted conservative. And Congress is full of clowns. Republicans are hell-bent on losing. They are completely worthless.

The House passing a Continuing Resolution (which is for emergency purposes only) to fund every evil part of this government is a worse crime than anything George Santos could have done. It’s a crime against you and your children and their children after them.
That’s a fact.

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum has suspended his presidential aspirations, taking a few potshots at the RNC and making sure the door doesn’t hit him in the ass on the way out.
In a statement and video released Monday morning, Burgum emphasized that he and his wife “are deeply grateful for each and every person who supported us with their ideas, prayers, advocacy, encouragement and enthusiasm. Kathryn and I will always remain committed to fighting for the people who make our nation so exceptional.”
The North Dakota governor becomes the latest White House hopeful call it quits, as the GOP field of contenders has rapidly shrunk after topping out at over a dozen candidates during the summer.
Burgum’s departure winnows the field to Trump, DeSantis, Haley, Christie, Ramaswamy, and Hutchinson. All the major national polls have them ranked in that order, with Trump’s lead still significant. Brugum was stuck at 0 or 1% in most national polls ( which is where Hutchinson also remains), though he may have done better in certain states where he has some name recognition.
I saw Burgum speak at the NHGOP First in the Nation Summit. He seemed sensible and practical, maybe even capable, but plenty of other candidates were working similar messages, so he was never going to get past that to higher polling. Here are two minutes of Gov. Doug at that event.

The other day, I was asked to do something that immediately struck me as suspicious, and I promptly declined.
As many of you know, one of the ways we raise funds to help cover operating expenses is sponsored content. We publish a post with backlinks that allow the linked page to get a lift from ‘Grok’s higher Page and Domain Authority. We charge a nominal fee for the time required to publish. I get hundreds of requests each month, most of them beginning with “Hello Dear,” and a few emails later with “I am a reseller with many clients, but your budget is too high.”
It’s a dance I’ve streamlined over the years to limit the amount of time I waste from “Hello, Dear” to “too high” to “OK, I send you an article,” which is code for F off, you pricey bastard, I’m done here.
Our sponsored content rates are not overpriced. A handful of our clients pay what we ask, and a few send enough volume yearly to warrant a slight discount. Everyone else wants something for nothing, and those are the ones I’m trying to shepherd out of my inbox as quickly as I’m able.
Of the hundreds of requests that hit my inbox each month, very few result in an exchange of published content for payment, but that’s not why I dragged you through that explanation. I got a query over the weekend that has me thinking I should contact the AG, PayPal, or someone.
The subject requesting the publication of sponsored content used the name Malik and asked for pricing.
Hello,Hope your are doing great.
I am interested in your website for a blog/guest post.
Can you please provide me the following details.
Price for blog/guest post.?
will you write the article.?
will the post shows on home page..??
I responded with a copy-and-paste response of our generic pricing, which they accepted without question, and that never happens. No haggling.
Not long after, I was presented with two articles to publish, which I did. I created an invoice and sent the live post links and PayPal invoice link to this new “customer,” going by the name Malik. This was the response.
I want you to create invoice of 500$ for me . My client will send you payment . You will deduct your amount and send the rest my webmaster paypal . Currently, I am not able to manage any transaction because of Paypal issue . I am asking for help . Can you manage transaction for me?
Lots of red flags were waving.
If you are having a problem with PayPal, how are you going to get money via PayPal? Not that ‘using Steve and the ‘Grok as a laundromat wasn’t higher on my list of reasons for not doing it. The scheme looked laugh-out-loud African Prince sharing their fortune obvious.
I replied, “Sorry, I’m not interested in doing that, and not just because of how sketchy it sounds. You can pay via debit or credit card through our donation portal via either GiveSendGo or PayPal.”
Malik asked me to take down the content, which I did, and our business was concluded, but it kept bugging me. The first thought is some low-dollar money laundering scheme that, had I accepted, would have resulted in more of the same. The second is that it was a setup to trap me if I did it and then string it along until the sum was significant enough to be of value or to create leverage.
I know it sounds a bit paranoid, but the world is full of tripwires, our government has increasingly gotten into the business of entrapment, and we can’t know every trick. We can only do the right thing, and I would never engage in this sort of transfer under any circumstance (NSA and IRS, if you are listening?).
I’ve moved on, but it is a curious enough request that I’m still wondering if this is something and someone I should identify to some “authority” other than this audience.
The post This Was Just a Little Bit Suspicious … appeared first on Granite Grok.
Some libertarians dismiss concerns over social media companies’ suppression of news and opinions that contradict select agendas by pointing out that these platforms are private companies, not part of the government. There are two problems with this argument. First, there is nothing unlibertarian about criticizing private businesses or using peaceful and voluntary means, such as boycotts, to persuade businesses to change their practices.
The second and most significant reason the “they are private companies” argument does not hold water is the tech companies’ censorship has often been done at the “request” of government officials. The extent of government involvement with online censorship was revealed in emails between government and employees of various tech companies. In these emails the government officials addressed employees of these “private companies” as though these employees were the government officials’ subordinates.
Government officials using their authority to silence American citizens is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. Yet some conservative elected officials and writers think the solution to the problem of big tech censorship is giving government more power over technology companies. These pro-regulation conservatives ignore the fact that it would be just as unconstitutional if a conservative administration was telling tech companies who they must allow to access their platforms as it is when progressives order social media companies to deplatform certain individuals. Furthermore, since the average government official’s political views are closer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez than to Marjorie Taylor Greene, giving government more power over social media companies is likely to lead to more online censorship of conservatives.
Instead of giving government more power over social media, defenders of free speech should work to separate tech and state. An excellent place to start is pushing for passage of the Free Speech Protection Act. Unlike other legislation, such as the PATRIOT Act and the Affordable Care Act, this bill is accurately named. Introduced by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, this bill makes it a crime for any federal employee or employee of a federal contractor to use his position to communicate with a social media company to interfere with any American’s exercise of First Amendment protected rights. Violators of this law would face fines of at least 10,000 dollars as well as suspension, demotion, or even termination and a lifetime ban from working with the federal government.
In addition to working to pass the Free Speech Protection Act, those who object to the big technology companies’ “content moderation” policies should abandon big tech for more free speech-friendly platforms. Many of the newer social media companies were started to meet the demand for a “content moderation”-free alternative to the dominant companies. Senator Paul himself stopped posting videos on YouTube because of its suppression of free speech. While my Liberty Report still airs on YouTube, its main platform is Rumble. It is wonderful to do a show on any topic I choose without worrying about being canceled.
Big tech censorship is a problem created by big government. The solution lies not in giving the government more power but in separating tech and state. Passing the Free Speech Protection Act and making big tech pay a price for cooperating with big government by leaving to use sites like Rumble are two excellent places to start.

The post Separate Tech and State appeared first on Granite Grok.
New Hampshire loves itself some jackpot justice. They sued Exxon/Mobile over EPA-approved Fuel Additives and loved cashing tobacco settlement checks. But how about this? After preaching the 95% and safe and effective lies, does the State have the hutspa to follow Texas as it sues Pfizer for Deceptive Trade practices?
It’s a fair question because Florida began looking at this a year ago when Gov. DeSantis asked the state courts to impanel a grand jury to explore wrongdoing but has not yet (to my knowledge) formally filed a suit.
Texas AG Ken Paxton has pulled that trigger.
How did Pfizer’s vaccine achieve such widespread adoption, yet fall short of the stated goal of ending the pandemic? In a nutshell, Pfizer deceived the public. First, Pfizer’s widespread representation that its vaccine possessed 95% efficacy against infection was highly misleading from day one. That number was only ever legitimate in a solitary, highly- technical, and artificial way—it represented a calculation of the so-called “relative risk reduction” for vaccinated individuals in Pfizer’s then-unfinished pivotal clinical trial. But FDA publications indicate “relative risk reduction” is a misleading statistic that “unduly influence[s]” consumer choice. Indeed, per FDA: “when information is presented in a relative risk format, the risk reduction seems large and treatments are viewed more favorably than when the same information is presented” using more accurate metrics.
Who’s with me? There’s gold in them thar hills, boys! Potentially the largest class-action lawsuit in human history.
But not so fast. There are also problems aplenty. While even cash-strapped Democrat states have more reason than anyone to chase another pot of gold, they were the worst of the worst when it came to pronouncing the Pfizer/Moderna vaccine safe and effective. From scare tactics to fear tactics to mandates and vaccine passports, can those locales complicit in the lie (who put a rotten despotism cherry on top) sue Pfizer without getting sued themselves?
I hope they get sued, but their fallback response will be to blame the FDA, CDC, NIH, or NIAD. They approved emergency use repeatedly. Gave us public health marching orders.
Elected and public health officials, and everyone up and down either of those food chains, will point a finger toward DC while blubbering, but, but, well, they said it was okay! And if they told you to inject your citizens with poison, would you do that? Would you shout them down, shut them up, make fools of them in public, refuse them access to public spaces, even confine them for wanting nothing more than their right to both free speech, bodily autonomy, or fully informed consent?
Yes, because that is the entire pandemic vaccine policy tragedy in one run-on sentence.
And a private company guilty of fraud, injury, or even murder, as we’ve noted on these pages more than once, isn’t going to be able to hide behind immunity no matter who offered it.
The funny thing about getting politicians to promise you immunity from prosecution is that there are limitations to what can be excused. Take deliberate deception and fraud.
If you hide details that lead to harm, the political rats will abandon your ship faster than you can say mRNA Vaccines.
That’s the boat Pfizer may soon find itself in, and it should not expect its Pfederal Pfriends to lift a finger to help, noting that any who might have probably “retired” and have packed their”stipends” and inducements in their saddle bags as they ride into the sunset. Any still on the payroll (wink-wink) also got what they wanted. A full-scale global tyranny test that a majority of the Western World Pfailed.
Pfizer/Moderna got in bed with some of the dirtiest criminals on the planet. Politicians and bureaucrats who promised them they would protect them. Organizations and individuals with no intention of protecting the people from the known risks of harm from their products; so what chance would Pfizer have when things went sideways?
Sure, everyone kept lying. The drug companies, government, public and private health, the media, and big tech actively censored the truth to protect the fraud. And as Igor Chudov notes in the linked piece, don’t be surprised when they get sued, too.
Pfizer lied to everyone, but they had a lot of help. Deceptions that continued long after the Pfizer docs and internal emails explained what we saw in the real world. They knew early and not only released it to the public but engaged in one of the most deceptive promotional campaigns in history.
A lot of people need to be sued. Pfizer is likely doomed.
So, who is going to step up and follow Texas? Who will sue Pfizer before there’s nothing left on the carcass for these vultures to pick? And how much fun will it be for us to flog them ceaselessly for it? You called us deniers and accused us of spreading misinformation. And now that is the foundation of any claims against Pfizer.
Grab some popcorn, people.
