With all due respect to the people I’m about to pound like a broken storm door in a hurricane, New Hampshire’s elections are not clean, tight, or reliable—quite the opposite. And I think they know it.

If you read our recent reporting from Windham, Ken Eyring shared some election intrigue that centers on letters from the AG office and the Secretary of state admitting that election law is not being followed even after they plant a state moderator at the polling place to make sure it is. Tom and Ken spoke with us on Radio Row Sunday afternoon and explained the violations and the lack of interest by state authorities to fix them.

You’ll be oh so happy to know that the Jan 23rd primary at that same polling place was again rife with violations of state law on top of the other stories we have to share below – that suggest Haley’s second-place finish in the Granite State needs an asterisk.

Here’s the interview with Tom and Ken from Sunday the 21st (it does not include the 1/23 revelations we’ve since learned, obviously).

!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u359331"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");

Rumble("play", {"video":"v46o2e9","div":"rumble_v46o2e9"});

Wait, There’s More!

I’ve had a handful of anecdotal reports from locals of attempted election law violations with regard to registered Democrats wanting to take a Republican ballot. One in my own home town, that I related yesterday, and several more communicated to me via email. Democrats around the state showed up to pull a Republican primary ballot despite being ineligible to do so. We can blame this on Gov. Chris Sununu – if memory serves – a registered Republican who has his head so far up Haley’s ass you can barely see his big shoulders; he has been saying Democrats should vote for Haley long after the deadline for changing party registration has passed.

Speaking of anecdotal examples, reporter Michael Tracey was on Glenn Greenwald’s podcast, and he shared two quick stories that add credibility to the argument.

Town officials ignorant of election law or who ignore it while the SoS and AG are content to write letters admitting violations of laws over which there appear to be no punishments seems like a shitty way to run them. We have the ability to strip those who violate election law in New Hampshire of the right to vote in the state. Maybe that’s what is needed when it comes to local election officials who have neither the time nor the ability to follow them.

That or huge fines and jail time.

Of course, we’d still run into the problem of finding an AG willing to charge and pursue justice for voters who may not even realize how badly their votes are mishandled. But it needs to be handled before someone decides it’s time to embrace Article 10 of the NH State Constitution.

[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.] Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

Israel’s New Website On Hamas Killings Has 43 Million Viewers in the First Week (jihadwatch.org)

Israel now has put the soul-searing evidence of the Hamas atrocities before the world, on a dedicated website. As the IDF soldiers manfully carry on, fighting against Hamas terrorists up and down the Strip, from Gaza City to Khan Yunis and all the way to the southernmost city of Rafah, including all the places in between where the IDF has located Hamas fighters and weapons. The creators of this admirable and terrible website are now fighting back against Hamas’ propaganda, to win, or in some cases win back, the hearts and minds of those who are in danger of forgetting what happened on October 7. Israel is now engaged in a on a different battlefield, pitting its truthful hasbara against the lies of Hamas. This is what may be called, in the Gaza War, the Jewish state’s indispensable second front.

Here’s that site.  Bookmark it.  Stare at it.  Understand the enormity of what was done.  And then share it widely.

A crazy story reported by the Israeli journalist Avishai Grinzaig:

On Friday in Khan Yunis, in the sector of one of the battalions in the 4th Brigade of the IDF.

Before a force from the battalion raided a certain point, they put a drone into the air after a suspicious figure was identified. In the drone they saw an elderly woman handcuffed to a bed.

After dispelling the suspicion of a deception incident by Hamas. The force went up to the apartment together with an Arabic-speaking investigator of the brigade.

They found a 75-year-old woman bound by her own hands and in very poor health.

The hands are very swollen, enlarge the picture and you will see. And the old woman was completely dehydrated.

While the doctor treated her, the division’s investigator asked her questions.

And she told them: her family fled from Khan Yunis to the south. Two Hamas operatives in IDF uniforms arrived, forcibly tied her to the bed and told her to say that the IDF did it. She lay like that tied to the bed for two days.

There are many more and monstrous and predatory cases of what Hamas is doing to the citizens of Gaza. They tie old women to a bed, attach explosives to old men, and other horrible things.

This is the evil of Hamas.

(HT Aussie Pilgrim)

And my comment on his post:

Remember, in Islam ANYONE who dies in the service of jihad is guaranteed entry to paradise. In their mind, by tying her to a bed and hoping she’d smear the IDF, they were summoning her to be a warrior for jihad.

An old woman who should be holding her grandchildren.

The blood libel at the Hague | Power Line (powerlineblog.com)

During multiple wars, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have done more to avoid civilian casualties than any other army in the world ever has. In Gaza, the IDF has provided advance warning to Palestinian civilians where it plans to fight, sending 7.2 million leaflets, 13.7 million texts, and making 15 million phone calls so far to help noncombatants avoid being used by Hamas as human shields.

So, to accuse the Israelis of genocide is a lie and a blood libel.

By contrast, Hamas is proudly genocidal. The Hamas Charter declares that “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”

Hamas instructs Muslims to “fight Jews and kill them.”

Hamas’ strategy is to keep civilians between it and Israel. The US and the West are doing everything they can to help Hamas in that aim. And when civilians are killed, Israel is blamed. For all of the weapons and ammunition that the US is sending Israel, it is not letting Israel win.

Israel Still Hasn’t Learned the Strategic Lessons of Oct 7 | Frontpage Mag

This is where the proposals for any kind of truce, let alone a proposed 2-month pause to the fighting in exchange for the hostages, are disastrous. We’ve already previously seen the consequences of giving Hamas any time to regroup. In exchange for the release of some hostages, Hamas was able to move other hostages and its military assets, regroup and launch new attacks.

Victory means pushing Hamas. The more breathing room the terrorists have, the more they can settle into a new routine of pop up attacks, studying and exploiting IDF patterns, scoring occasional victories, damaging morale and building up pressure for an Israeli withdrawal.

By failing to condemn antisemitism, politicians, academics and their media allies are doing our enemies’ bidding. One week ago, ISIS released a 67-minute diatribe calling for the destruction of Jews worldwide to avenge Israeli strikes against Gaza. The message was “kill them wherever you find them.”

Meanwhile, Jewish families privately talk at the dinner table about Anne Frank, hiding in attics, and where this new wave of antisemitism could lead.

Arm up.  Get a gun, learn to use it.  From a pro-gun Jew:

Obstinate Ignorance by David Bock – According To Hoyt

I’m also guessing she’s unaware of the story of 25 year old Inbar Lieberman, who distributed firearms to a dozen members of kibbutz Nir Am and coordinated a defense plan as the attacks were occurring. The defenders then used these firearms to kill at least 25 terrorists who had come to murder them. Ms Lieberman killed five of them herself.

As a result of this decision and her personal bravery, unlike every other kibbutz in the area, kibbutz Nir Am suffered no casualties in the attacks that cost so many lives elsewhere.

The Domestic Terrorists of Tomorrow are Blocking Traffic Today | Frontpage Mag

Communist revolutionaries have exploited wars and food shortages to seize power, only to then inflict even worse wars and food shortages. Obama promised peace in the Middle East, an end to income inequality and the salvation of the planet. And all of these things only grew worse.

But following the Cloward-Piven model, leftists only make things worse. The purpose of leftist governments is to destroy countries by exacerbating every social, economic, geopolitical and cultural problem until they have brought societies to their knees and can seize total power.

Leftist protests, like the terrorists they support, are also not about fixing anything, but staging ugly hostile confrontations with police and the public to recruit the malicious and the disaffected (while playing the victim) and then escalating the violence and using it to take over a country.

…

A revolution requires people willing to kill. And so they need to be given reasons to kill. The ‘cause’ is the process of finding those willing to kill and giving them the reasons to do it.

It’s about destroying what WAS, so that they can create what (they think) WILL BE.  Mao, as he was murdering 60+ million Chinese, called it The Four Olds.  But however you call it, they plan to build paradise tomorrow by erasing the present today.

A CONCLUDING THOUGHT FOR THIS POST

Israeli lawmakers pushing to keep Palestinian workers out of Israel | World Israel News

Who, in their ever-loving meshugah mind, is thinking about letting them back in?

No, seriously.  I recently saw a video of an Arab construction worker using a hose to water electrical panels.  And you’re letting them work?  Some people want to let more in?

The post Israel: Ongoing Links, Memes, and Commentary appeared first on Granite Grok.

Until recently, it appeared that nuclear power was simply off the energy table for climate activists and environmentalists — but they are now embracing its possibilities.

This shift likely has been motivated by growing realization that solar panels and EVs just can’t accomplish the grand rescue they promised, along with the daunting environmental problems posed in their manufacture that can no longer be ignored. But the change is also driven by technological and design advances in nuclear reactor technology, for existing fission (atom-splitting) reactors and for a brave new world of fusion reactors that could potentially create energy with less risk and pollution by joining atoms together.

Fission

Modern nuclear power has been produced by harnessing the astonishing energy released when molecules are split. This is the same terrifying power of nuclear warfare, contained in water-cooled concrete control chambers to generate electricity. Yet Fukushima, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl displayed the potential for calamity from this process and exposed the persistent challenges of safely storing spent nuclear rods.

At COP28 in Dubai November-December 2023, more than 20 nations signed a pledge to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2030, in what one headline dubbed “the year the UN climate summit went nuclear.” This tacit admission that renewables can’t cut the mustard may also reflect the sober reality that China and the UAE – and many other nations – are moving forward with nuclear power development whether the West likes it or not. Energy is the lifeblood of economic stability and growth: If the United States and other Western nations abandon fossil fuels and nuclear energy (as long demanded by the “Just End Oil” crowd), they will seed their own destruction.

Nuclear Is More ‘Renewable’

Abandoning fossil fuels becomes extremely difficult when they are necessary to mine, heat, process, and fabricate the “renewable” products manufactured to replace them. All renewable manufacturing is ultimately dependent on the fossil fuels it is designed to retire. Nosebleed oil prices compelled a reckoning with the impacts of inflation on the costs of vast solar fields and an EV in every driveway. Concurrently, rising interest rates undermined financing incentives for renewable products. The technological unfeasibility of the Utopian scheme to replace fuels with gadgets becomes clearer daily. Nuclear power quickly becomes economically and politically necessary as the only bailout for errant policy.

The technological timing of this transition is pivotal. It is questionable whether the world should be launching into mass manufacturing and installation of solar panels that are merely 22% efficient when technology promises 34% efficiency panels soon. Nuclear energy technology, in contrast, has been evolving for decades since the 1960s reactors most people envision when they think of nuclear power plants. Unless and until the technological and cost limitations of renewable energy are overcome, nuclear energy presents as a far superior option.

A New Generation

This is why nuclear energy activists were allowed entry into COP28, and climate activists have embraced nuclear power as “an effective way forward.” These are not your grandmother’s nuclear power plants. Beginning with a US-initiated research program in 2000, the “Generation IV International Forum” (GIF) collectively decided on lower-risk fission reactor designs for the future:

“[L]ate in 2002 GIF (then representing ten countries) announced the selection of six reactor technologies which they believe represent the future shape of nuclear energy … These were selected on the basis of being clean, safe and cost-effective means of meeting increased energy demands on a sustainable basis, while being resistant to diversion of materials for weapons proliferation and secure from terrorist attack … Most of the six systems employ a closed fuel cycle to maximise the resource base and minimise high-level wastes to be sent to a repository.”

Fusion on the Horizon

In the background of this nuclear power renaissance lurks nuclear fusion, which creates energy by combining (rather than splitting) lighter elements such as helium or hydrogen: The resulting reaction releases atomic “binding energy.” Nuclear fusion promises the cleanest and safest energy but presents more challenging scientific obstacles. The World Nuclear Association explained:

“Fusion power offers the prospect of an almost inexhaustible source of energy for future generations, but it also presents so far unresolved engineering challenges.

“The fundamental challenge is to achieve a rate of heat emitted by a fusion plasma that exceeds the rate of energy injected into the plasma.

“The main hope is centred on tokamak reactors and stellarators which confine a deuterium-tritium plasma magnetically.”

The scientific jury is still out on whether these fusion challenges can be solved by humankind, especially in time to avert alleged climate doom. But it appears that the world is quietly but quickly moving toward an acceptance of modernized fission reactors much like the Prodigal Son: “Gee, we missed you. Where have you been?” Next thing you know, Greta Thunberg will be advocating for “fast-neutron” nuclear reactor construction to “end” fossil fuels and save the world!

Jeff Chihidester takes the lead – watch it on Rumble (and please remember to follow us!)

Modular exhibition stands are an effective means of business development, allowing companies to stand out among competitors at events and attract the attention of the target audience. Their flexibility, functionality and innovative design make mobile systems an integral part of a successful business strategy.

We offer to consider the key advantages of modular exhibition stands, their variety and ways of effective application in the modern business space.

Design features of mobile stands

They are part of all kinds of exhibition systems made of aluminium profile. Modular exhibition stands are a collapsible construction consisting of several components. Due to their versatility, they can be assembled in different variants according to the requirements of a particular site.

Modular stands are considered to be the most budget-friendly and convenient type of visual advertising. A collapsible structure consisting of all kinds of stands and frames provides a wide range of uses – from exhibitions to presentations and various promotional events.

Types of exhibition stands

• There are several types of exhibition stands, differing in shape and size:
• Linear – systems with one-sided placement of information.
• Corner – they have a non-separable shape with two identical sides.
• Island – the key feature of this format is to maximise coverage of potential customers passing on four sides of the structure.
• Peninsulas – voluminous three-sided systems that maximise the use of space.
• Through – an effective way to place the most important elements in the main aisles, which increases the availability of the submitted information content.
• Visible – installation of identical structures opposite each other.
• Multilevel – systems of several floors.

Advantages of exhibition stands

The main advantages of mobile stands include:

• convenience of placement regardless of location;
• ease of assembly and installation. They do not require a lot of time for installation, use of special tools or experience;
• adaptability. Graphic materials on the panels can be easily changed, adjusting to the requirements of a particular advertising campaign or event;
• ease of transport, and for this purpose is suitable for an ordinary passenger car;
• the possibility of modelling for a specific location, which makes the construction convenient to use at various events.

In addition, panels with graphic images can be easily attached to the profiles using magnetic tape. Modular stands are designed for multiple use, which makes their use cost-effective and reduces advertising costs.

All these factors make this format of visual advertising an effective way to promote business. It is an ideal tool for companies looking to stand out and attract the attention of their target audience.

After the 2020 election, I saw an article online about speeding up processing by 1000 to 1 million times faster – written by Jay Valentine and his Fractal Programming team. I work with technology, and after investigating it more, I learned that Jay was involved in using Fractal technology to start cleaning up voter rolls as he was disappointed in the 2020 results.

He started a project called Omega with the intent to clean voter rolls, and he offered a system to replace the current ERIC system, which was used in 31 states and was originally (2012) funded by Soros.

Fractal – in a nutshell – is software that avoids using the I/O on a computer. The I/O greatly reduces the processing speed of today’s computer chips. The processors can work at high speeds but then get gated by traditional I/O.  Fractal makes full use of that horsepower by avoiding I/O and is able to work faster, allowing for data searches that don’t work with traditional database tools and queries.

So, when people claim that their voter rolls are ok, some have trouble finding or pinpointing bad records because they are using 40-year-old technology. Jay’s website has several videos explaining how this works and what he is finding. The results are stunning. He has run data for 25 states, and they have found significant errors large enough to change the results of our elections.

I wrote to Jay to see if I could use his material for the Granite Grok, and he said he was about to check the voter roll data for New Hampshire. Once he checks it, he will likely post a video on his website. This is a process that, in my opinion, is required in every state – especially where mail-in voting happens. Through proactive monitoring, he has discovered that thousands of zip codes are changed in time to mail out ballots and then changed back so no one is the wiser. The recipient doesn’t know since they are getting mail just fine. They just did not receive their mail-in ballot.

You can bet that someone ended up with the ballots. So, if you haven’t heard about Mr. Valentine and his technology, it’s worth some time to look into and support.

If you think the courts are going to stop the Biden-Regime and its allies from rigging the 2024 election, think again. More specifically, think about yesterday’s decision finding, for all practical purposes, that the Biden Regime can carry out an invasion of America with illegal aliens…

The goal being to replace white voters with non-white voters because the Regime and its allies expect the latter to vote Democrat and give them permanent control of visible government:

Amy Coney Barrett just voted in favor of allowing Biden's federal border agents to dismantle razor fencing set up by Texas agents to stop illegals immigrants entering America.

The vote was 5-4. She was the deciding vote. What a nightmare. pic.twitter.com/BJGcAFExaO

The Supreme Court is CONTROLLED OPPOSITION. It may be Coney Barrett siding with the Leftists in one case, then Kavanaugh in the next case … but it’s all for appearances. The Supreme Court has been BROKEN. Schumer, with his threats, and Garland, by allowing “protesters” to terrorize the justices, as well as the constant pressure by the Regime-Media, has BROKEN the Court. It is controlled opposition.

The question becomes what to do when the Biden-Regime and its allies rig the 2024 election, AND the courts do NOTHING. Tucker has a suggestion … the only suggestion, in fact, IF you want to keep a REPUBLIC:

So it’s unanimous: everyone in power, from the White House, to the hedge fund managers, to the Supreme Court of the United States has decided to destroy the country by allowing it to be invaded. That leaves the population to defend itself. Where are the men of Texas? Why aren’t…

The 603 Alliance and Grok Media gathered their resources and set up shop in the DoubleTree hotel in Manchester for Radio Row, the quadrennial media feeding frenzy in the run-up to Tuesday’s First in the Nation Primary.

Jeff Chidester and I, with help from Mike Rogers, manned the mics for three days, all day, speaking with scheduled guests and lots of drop-ins. We’re sharing the Eric Trump chat first, but we also spoke with Kari Lake, Vermin Supreme, and a host of other names, local and national, from both sides of the aisle, that I will share in the coming days.

We’ve got about 20 hours of material, including some great conversations between myself, Jeff, Mike, Fran Wendleboe, Don Ewing, and others, and that long list of guests I mentioned, but enough about us.

Eric Trump dropped by for 15 minutes to chat about the primary, Nikki Haley, Joe Biden, and his dad. (watch it on Rumble).
