Rep she/her Selig wants you to know that she has a vagina and is heterosexual. This, apparently, is very important to her because in her tweet celebrating “Pride Month,” those are the first things she tells us … she has a vagina and is heterosexual. This is narcissism.

She/her Selig is actually celebrating her opinion of herself … I am different and better; yeah, I may have a vagina; yeah, I may like sex with men, but I am part of the elite, the enlightened, the chosen! 

She/her Selig and he fellow Woke-Communists are … I repeat … narcissists. They believe that their religion, Woke-Communism, makes them special, better, superior.

Most of you knwo about the years or fire predictions in the 1970s. Scientists believed we were at the beginning of another ice age. Experts, along with a compliant media, pimped story after story about the precipice of frozen doom and what we should do about it.

By 1978, everyone was well aware of the situation, but four years later, in 1982, the compliant media was singing a different song. The experts had been warning us about global warming “for years.”

Credibility, much?

Forty years into the latest thing and what experts believe has resulted in forty years of failed predictions, models that calculate the size of future grants but nothing about the earth’s climate or even the local weather.

Trillions have been wasted on non-productive purposes. A decades-long political movement whose only purpose is to realign the means of production.

Four years, and the narrative completely flips.

Incredible show of support for Donald Trump at last night’s (6/1) UFC 302. The pop he got when he walked in with Dana White gave you goosebumps. And it was not just the crowd … IN NEW JERSEY … showing Trump the love. The fighters did to … shaking his hand, taking selfies with him, giving him shout-outs in the post-fight interviews.

It’s very simple … real men support Trump, while the “men” who support BidenX are unhappy, low-t, no-t, pussy-boy, woke-commies. Don’t believe me … just look at the “men” with Ds after their names in the NH-House.

A former Superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) is alleged to have used the power of her office to coerce financial institutions to refuse to do business with the National Rifle Association (NRA).

We see a good deal of this alleged misconduct as partisans engage with banks and insurance companies as a way to stifle an operation or impair its ability to operate, which includes the ability to freely associate, do business with, and engage in public expression.

Maria Vullo, while serving as DFS superintendent, appears to have made it her mission to ensure that those over whom her office had regulatory authority chose not to do business with the NRA. And while the action was based on a legitimate violation of state law.

[An] investigation revealed at least two kinds of violations of New York law: that Carry Guard insured intentional criminal acts, and the NRA promoted Carry Guard without an insurance producer license. By mid-November, upon finding out about the investigation following DFS information requests, Lockton and Chubb suspended Carry Guard.

Lockton and Chubb paid fines in the millions and made every effort to comply with New York State law, but Vullo used this single instance as an excuse to reach out to everyone and anyone associated with insurance lined to the NRA. Vullo used DFS letterhead. Vullo spoke as the Superintendent of the DFS. Vullo, upon finding minor violations, offered to dismiss or ignore them if the business promised to cease all relationships with the NRA (and any other gun groups). These companies complied, aiding Vullo’s viewpoint discrimination to make it difficult or impossible for the NRA to operate in the State.

The case made its way up the judicial food chain to the US Supreme Court which arrived at a 9-0 unanimous verdict. In the opinion written by Justice Sotomayor, Vullo is shown to have clearly violated the First Amendment rights of the NRA (citations removed).

Nothing in this case gives advocacy groups like the NRA a “right to absolute immunity from [government] investigation,” or a “right to disregard [state or federal] laws.”  Similarly, nothing here prevents government officials from forcefully condemning views with which they disagree. For those permissible actions, the Constitution “relies first and foremost on the ballot box, not on rules against viewpoint discrimination, to check the government when it speaks.”  Yet where, as here, a government official makes coercive threats in a private meeting behind closed doors, the “ballot box” is an especially poor check on that official’s authority. Ultimately, the critical takeaway is that the First Amendment prohibits government officials from wielding their power selectively to punish or suppress speech, directly or (as alleged here) through private intermediaries.

The Left hates the NRA, so they will hate this decision, but I have yet to see any email alerts from MoveOn listing Justice Sotomayor or Justice Jackson (for example) as “constitutional Threats” who must be impeached. I guess they can’t fundraise off of them, even when their BIPOC justices “vote” the wrong way.

In 2016, New Hampshire Police and Fire rewarded Concord PD Julie Curtin for inter-Alia calling around the world to get internet posts taken down regarding Chessy Prout, the state witness in NH v Owen Labrie. She was rewarded for going above and beyond and getting “justice for the victim.”

Before all this happened, Laura L. Dunn (advisor to the White House “Not Alone” task force and co-founder of SurvJustice, a non-profit) had trained Concord PD and prosecutors in campus sexual assault investigations at UNH. The Executive Council approved a grant for the NHCADSV (a DOD contractor) for this purpose.

According to Laura Dunn’s resume, she handled the media during NH v Owen Labrie. According to the Concord Monitor from August 2015, Amanda Grady Sexton—of the NHCADSV, Sen Shaheen’s re-election campaign, and City of Concord Council—attended the Labrie trial to “keep tabs on the media,” seeing it as an “opportunity’ for the media to make important decisions about what is fair or not to report.

WMUR (Adam Sexton) had exclusive coverage on the trial, and influencer journalists hired specifically for the job from Vice Media, AP, Boston Globe, NYT, WaPo, and NBC were involved, along with political PR companies, including SKDK and HillImpact.com. NHPR’s Paige Sutherland had her tweets included in an exhibit to restrict media access, but she was never informed of this. I discovered this in court files.

We want to thank Claire Best for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

The trial was, I believe, the first trial in the U.S. to use and experiment with the Censorship Industrial Complex with full backing and communications with the White House during the trial from Laura L Dunn, who merely presented herself on TV as the “personal representative for the victim’s family.”

Everyone knew—Concord PD, Merrimack Prosecutors, Congresswoman Ann Kuster, City of Concord Council, Amanda Grady Sexton, Senator Jeanne Shaheen, UNH Law, UNH PIRC, DOE OCR, DOJ OVW, and the Prout family, who’d flown to DC to sort out the details with Laura L Dunn—except St Paul’s School, its community, and the defendant, Owen Labrie.

A book was already preplanned, media engagements were preplanned, work for the Democratic Party was preplanned, and the Prout family would earn an estimated $2 million between 2104 and 17 if they agreed to the plan set out and introduced by Concord PD and Laura L Dunn.

It is my belief that while Concord PD Julie Curtin was rewarded for censorship of Facebook and other social media posts regarding Chessy Prout, the negative posts may very well have been hoax posts created by and with the help of Concord PD Amanda Grady Sexton and Laura L Dunn in order to leverage public hatred against Owen Labrie and sympathy for Chessy Prout as the “survivor” that Congresswoman Ann Kuster needed in order to influence “the Harry Potter generation” (there was also the Harry Potter Alliance political organization as well).

New Hampshire’s AG has never investigated this but I believe there should be an investigation into the media, censorship and social media and censorship in the Labrie and St Paul’s cases. I believe that UNH PIRC (paid to create propaganda for the DOJ OVW and WH “Not Alone” task force) knows all about this.

Laura L Dunn instructed Concord PD Julie Curtin in 2014, according to an account by Chessy Prout. Laura L Dunn helped with the fake Rolling Stone UVA “A Rape on Campus” story, which led to the Eramo v Rolling Stone lawsuit. Dunn is featured in Exhibit 15B. Her resume states she was an expert witness in the case. Actually, she was instrumental in helping to place the story and instruct the journalist. Dunn lied about her own alleged sexual assault on a Center for Public Integrity program on NPR in 2010, which paved the way for her involvement in the unregulated “Dear Colleague “ Title IX directive introduced at UNH on April 4, 2011. She had on the board of SurvJustice, a social media influencer-Wagatwe Wanjuki.

Mimicking social media handles appears to be a specialty of Amanda Grady Sexton, NHCADSV, and Concord PD. It was after I wrote to the LEACT commission that my Twitter handle was followed by Amanda Grady Sexton and the NHCADSV. Then it was followed by a since removed handle called @letsheartherea1, which copied the anonymous @letshearthetru handle I started in July 2019 when Amanda Grady Sexton, NHCADSV, Congresswoman Kuster, Laura L Dunn, SurvJustice, et al. launched their successful social media and phone campaign to block Owen Labrie’s interview with Amy Robach on ABC from airing. Dan Hill of hillimpact.com (working with NHCADSV, Prouts and Laura L Dunn, and Kuster) was sent in to try to phish and find out my identity on Twitter, to mock me, smear me, accuse me of being a rape apologist, etc.

I am none of these. I read actual records. I read actual depositions and discovery.

New Hampshire has allowed its justice system and its educational institutions to be tainted by the censorship of the military-industrial complex. The result: a rapidly failing democracy because democracy cannot thrive without divisions between branches of government and the media.

The book, with introduction by Congresswoman Ann Kuster and heavily promoted by the NHCADSV, SurvJustice and Laura L Dunn: ihavetherighttobook.com equates Owen Labrie to an “Al Qaeda terrorist” and “Donald Trump”. Simultaneously, Chessy Prout expresses awe at meeting Bill Clinton- who lied to the public about his torrid abuse of power to sexually abuse and then have his wife smear Monica Lewinsky. The Prout family was effectively recruited before the trial of Owen Labrie to work for the 2016 Clinton campaign via Shaheen’s campaign director Amanda Grady Sexton, Concord PD Julie Curtin, and It’s On Us.

Dan Hill got pretty angry with me for figuring this out. He doesn’t have such a stellar reputation when you start digging. It’s amazing what you can get away with in NH courts once you use media to create, manipulate, and control the narrative in order to get government contracts as NHCADSV, SurvJustice, and the Concord PD did.

They are happy to remove social media and articles that are negative to Chessy Prout or NHCADSV, but ask NH AP to correct the actual facts about Owen Labrie, and you will get nowhere.

Do you want your children to be incited to commit hate violence against someone because of what they read about someone in the news from articles generated and controlled by the NHCADSV, or do you want them to become critical thinkers?

I have worked in media for over 30 years in the UK, the US, and around the world. I understand how censorship works because I have had to deal with it in the course of my career in studios and agencies and as a freelancer filming in Mexico, Japan, South America, and Germany before the wall came down, as well as China and Japan. I knew something was wrong in the Labrie trial regarding the sensationalized coverage. I was horrified by what I uncovered.

Liars beget liars to cover lies.

An article on Nashua Inklink stated that the school district budget was going up 4.49%. However, the City’s 2025 Budget book states that the School District is going up 4.94%. One would think that someone made a typo, but no, it gets better.

In going back to Superintendent Mario Andrade, he stated that the school district does not pick up benefits, and no, he is not kidding.

The Nashua residents should take note that the benefits amount to $51 million dollars, and believe me when I say that the Nashua taxpayers do pay for them. Of course, the benefits to employees need to be put in because all employees, including teachers, are getting these “benefits.” This additional $51 million dollars will also change the cost per student from $17,775 to $18,380. A resident should forget that my figures do not include the School Special Revenues and School Grants, which are included in the City’s budget but NOT in the school budget.

Residents pay all this for a below-par education in our public schools for our children. Per the Student Proficiency Assessment of 2023, Nashua scores were:

North HS   South HS  Academy of Arts
Math Proficiency  34%  48%  86%
Reading Proficiency 58%  65%  90%
Science Proficiency 41%  53%  84%

Also reported in this assessment was the fact that the average salary for North and South teachers was $65,319 and the cost per pupil was $19,498 compared to the Academy of Arts & Science, where the average salary was $43,566 and cost per pupil was $9,985. And residents wonder why there has been an increase in Charter School enrollment, up by 35% since 2019 (per Union Leader 1/11/2024 report).

If a resident goes to page 25 of the school budget presentation, they will note that the average teacher has 18.4 students, down from 18.9 students last year.

If a resident goes to the school district budget, they will see on page 11 that the school district shows the 24 Adopted Budget vs the Proposed 2025 Budget.

Adopted Budget for 2024:

Labor $98.1 million 56%
Benefits $48.2 million 28%
Proposed Budget for 2025:
Labor $100.0 million 55%
Benefits $50.9 million 28%

This shows that 83% of the school budget is going to employees for salaries and benefits. All teachers have city and state-funded pensions whereas most people do not get this luxury.

So Fauci … the Godfather of COVID … has admitted UNDER OATH that masking and social-distancing had no scientific basis. They just made it all up. Those of us who are still capable of independent thought already knew that … it was all so nonsensical. For example, you could take your mask off to eat on a commercial flight because … because airplane food somehow repels COVID?

You could go on and on and on and on and one with examples of how absurd and illogical the “COVID rules” were. But what I want to know is … WHEN IS FAUCI GOING TO PRISON? When is an Attorney-General in a Red-State going to indict that demonic, arrogant dwarf?

Our own illustrious Beth Scaer is pushing the buttons and pulling the triggers of the snowflakes cluttering up Nashua City Hall. She has requested that they fly another flag, and they’ve returned with a hard no.

At least one version of the flag is featured above, and there is no good reason to deny it. Maybe the City has decided it doesn’t like Beth? She made news and waves a few years back when she wanted to fly a Save Women’s Sports flag on the People’s Pole in front of City Hall. The flag got permission and was raised, but within 24 hours, whiney mayor Jim ‘The Douche’ Donchess had it pulled down (His pole appears to have a partisan case of ED).

When pressed with legal concerns after Boston lost 9-0 in the US Supreme Court—another flag pole and a different flag—Nashua removed the citizen flag pole webpage as if the solution was to do what Boston did after losing: stop raising citizen flags altogether. If we can’t control the speech then there shall be none! I’m actually okay with that. It seems wholly inappropriate for cities to be flying black Marxist banners and Gaystapo gang colors, given how intolerant the militant factions among each tend to be.

But, cities like Boston wanted to fly pride flags and BLM flags, but if they did that, according to the court, “…it will probably have to allow a Proud Boys flag. That’s just what the First Amendment requires.”

Damn, you First Amendment!

You may also be familiar with longtime ‘Grok friend and occasional contributor Hal Shurtleff. He took his case against Boston to the high court and won. We interviewed him about that journey here but back to Beth. The City must still be raising citizen flags because she asked permission to fly the NH Pine Tree Flag.

Nashua’s brave soldiers fought and died at the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. I applied to raise the Pine Tree Flag, which our soldiers carried into battle that day, on the Nashua City Hall Plaza to commemorate this solemn anniversary. My request was rejected because the “flag is not in harmony with the message that the City wishes to express or endorse.” The citizens of Nashua would be quite alarmed and ashamed to know that the City does not endorse the message of commemorating our soldiers fighting and dying at the Battle of Bunker Hill.

I am writing to appeal this decision by Jennifer Deshaies of Risk Management and requesting that my application to raise the Pine Tree Flag on June 15 be approved.

See my application and the rejection letter below.

 

As noted above, that was a hard no. Beth adds, that,

Mayor Donchess should be deeply embarrassed about his administration rejecting the raising of the Pine Tree Flag on Nashua City Hall Plaza in commemoration of the Battle of Bunker Hill. I am asking him to overturn the decision by the Risk Management office and approve my application to fly the flag.

(Law) Suit Yourself

After Shurtleff v. City of Boston, Nashua has very little room to move. As arrogant and intolerable as the City’s legal counsel is, they can’t possibly think they could survive a pricey trip through the American legal system given that Free Speech cases in general, and one identical to this, resulted in a unanimous verdict against a similar rejection. Every Justice agreed, and that trend continues with Sotomayor writing the latest 9-0 opinion in opposition to another deliberate case of viewpoint discrimination.

If Nashua has flown anyone else’s flag, they will lose, and having an unconstitutional pole policy is no excuse.

It’s not even a shadow of a penumbra. The only possible victory for Nashua is if a lower court has the sense to save taxpayers millions by stopping their viewpoint discrimination in the lowest court possible.

That seems unlikely. Another feature of the Gate City is that the mayor is just as arrogant as his legal counsel. As I write this, Beth has informed me that her appeal has been rejected.

20240604 Response to B. Scaer Appeal

Is there a national legal outfit willing to drag Donchess and the City into Court? I’m guessing Donchess doesn’t think so. Maybe someone will surprise him, not that his city doesn’t love being sued. Just look at how they handle the right-to-know requests (or the spending cap, for that matter).

Vice President Kamala Harris has given us dozens of videos and sound bites worthy of SNL skits but not of the second-highest-ranking member of the Executive Branch. From giggle sessions to sitting with young professional actors posing as interested students as the VP talked about the marvels and mysteries of outer space, these sessions gave fodder to comedians and talking heads. Unfortunately, we do not have many digital clips of our Vice President interacting meaningfully with any other person. One of Harris’ most viewed clips was her trip to Seattle to announce funding for electric school buses to replace our diesel fleet.

I concede that an electric bus will operate on the road in a cleaner fashion than its diesel counterpart, but it offends me when the administration professes the factless claim that electronic buses will increase test scores for student riders. There is never a discussion of what goes into generating the electricity required to charge these buses for three hours. They want you to not think about that element of the debate. I drive a school bus and am not interested in driving an electric one. It concerns me that there have been reports of incredible car fires when the EV battery ignites—the thought of 40 children on a bus with two massive rechargeable lithium batteries keeps me up at night. We are not ready to put our most precious cargo, our children, on an electric bus.

Let’s look at the numbers. There are nearly 500,000 diesel school buses in America. The cost of these buses is about $100,000, while the replacement cost of a new electric bus is $400,000. To replace the American fleet with Buses would cost the people of the United States $200,000,000,000. That is $200 billion, and it does not include the charging stations and the retraining of our techs from diesel engine experts to electric motor mechanics. We are not prepared to make this transition at this time. That is a significant issue with this administration. They do not think through the ramifications of their lousy decisions. Their plan is tantamount to putting cars on the road before the invention of tires. Their need to satisfy the Green faction of the Left is more urgent than a sound plan Americans can embrace. By the way, what will we do with 500,000 retired diesel buses? Maybe we can dig a giant crater in New Mexico and bury them. Again, we don’t have a plan.

The American people are not prepared to spend that massive amount of money on a bus program that is not suited to the various climates of our country. Here in New England, we have documentation of an entire fleet of a district’s buses sidelined in the winter because the harsh winters are not a friend of battery-operated motors. There is another major problem for the government issuing grants to facilitate this diesel to battery conversion. Some buses are owned by cities and towns, but far more are owned by private companies under contract with specific school districts. Is it legal for taxpayer dollars to fund vehicles given to private companies, or will they be forced to absorb $400,000 per bus to make their fleet conform to government regulations?

There are far more questions than answers on the yellow school bus that Kamala loves so much, but that is what we have with all of Joe Biden’s half-baked plans. I work with many bus drivers and have yet to find one excited about driving an E-bus. It’s too bad Kamala didn’t come to us to ask about Joe’s earth-saving program. We love our buses, but we also love the sound of a dependable diesel engine.
