To all those who are sending in memes, thank you!  Many, many good ones!  Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!

Announcement: From a time standpoint I have to drop to Monday-Friday.  These posts take a surprising amount of time, and since I’m job hunting (or customer hunting, either works) I just can’t do three days a week right now.  And I’m taking a week (at least) off from the Israel posts too.

Speaking of, from this week, Monday Edition and Wednesday Edition.  Also check out my latest Israel-focused meme & commentary post if this is a subject of interest to you.

Somehow I get the feeling a few of these are repeats.

 

 

The only thing I can think of is that WOKE is an intellectual parasite.  It infects company leaders, who then act to advance wokeness, not the company.  In fact they do the former to the detriment of the latter.

 

 

 

 

Sure feels like it these days.

 

 

When your declared enemy, who openly hates you, supports someone… yes, question that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This seemed way too pat & convenient, so I checked:

Australian gun law: Inside John Howard’s battle to rid guns from Australia | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site

At the time, an inflamed NSW Premier Barrie Unsworth said: “It will take a massacre in Tasmania before we get gun law reform in Australia.”

Mr Unsworth would go on to regret his statement, with the tragic prophecy unfortunately coming true.

Brings this to mind:

 

 

 

All the outrage for one country and one situation only.  Others have correctly pointed out that Arabs have killed orders of magnitude more Arabs than Israel has… even with Israel having an unprecedented low civilian-to-combatant death ratio, unheard of in modern warfare.  And begging your pardon for inserting a video, this is one large reason why.  Watch as an IDF call to an Arab in a lined-up targeted building results in the Arab saying they won’t move, and celebrating their potential martyrdom.  Including the deaths of the children there:

The Deep State’s attempts to sink Trump in the public opinion and/or shackle him with lawfare have backfired “bigly”, and they are getting desperate.  Given that, more and more “little things” are adding up to the TLAs green-lighting using the “JFK solution” on Trump:

Regarding Trump’s “classified” documents case, it’s been put on hold.  Recently the prosecution had to admit (in court) that the evidence had been “mishandled”, which is a nice way of saying it could have been tampered with by the DOJ.  So they basically don’t have a case any more.  Also, more is coming out that it was a total set-up from the git-go.  Here is a timeline showing how the White House, the DOJ, and NARA all worked together to set this up for the Mar-a-Largo raid:

After the shameful “withdrawal” (really abandonment) of the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan in August 2021 (where 13 servicemembers were killed, and we left 1000’s of our allies to the clutches of the Taliban), LTCOL Stuart Scheller (then a Marine Corps infantry officer) made a video asking about holding the leadership accountable.  However, instead of being praised for asking about accountability, he was fired, jailed, and then vilified for “questioning the policies of the government”.  It’s now almost 3 years later, and still NO ONE has been held accountable for the withdrawal debacle.  To add insult to injury, they now teach what happened to him at the Senior Staff NCO school.  Not the honest questioning mind you, but the fact that he dared to question “the narrative” is what got him fired.  In this article he makes a good case for firing the entire General staff of the US military:

For my Jewish friends; The National Union of Students has just voted to expel Jewish students from their group (because they support Israel).  Keep your heads on a swivel, as this shows that antisemitism is ramping up and getting to be very pervasive.  I expect it will get “kinetic” in the coming months, so watch your backs:

The post Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow appeared first on Granite Grok.

It’s not just your child who has almost no privacy protections in a public school, but it looks like school board members and elected union officials may not have privacy, too.

The Rochester Voice reported that Kyle Repucci, the ex-Superintendent of Rochester Schools, Asst. Supt. Saundra MacDonald, Rochester School Board Chair Paul Lynch have been accused of harassment and wrongful termination of Rochester School Department’s former IT chief:

Yasenchock, who for 23 years served as chief technology officer of Rochester Schools, alleges in his lawsuit that two months before his firing Repucci ordered him to search for emails between various school board members and elected union officials and provide paper copies back to him.

Repucci allegedly wanted to view the emails to determine if certain school board members had worked on a file presented to the school board by union officials, according to the complaint.

On Sept. 17, 2020, Yasenchock voiced concerns over the legality of what Repucci had ordered and requested he state in writing the exact scope of what he wanted his IT chief to do.

That’s when it all went south, according to the complaint.

Whether this results in a financial payout to the plaintiff or not, take a good look at what your administrators earning 6-figure salaries are working on.

The Voice goes on to report:

Yasenchock alleges he was summoned to Repucci’s office and angrily confronted by both the superintendent and assistant superintendent after which he left but not before telling the pair he was going to report the matter to the full school board.
The complaint alleges Rochester Schools soon afterward hired Municipal Resources Incorporated (MRI) to identify and provide a narrative for grounds to fire him, which they did on Nov. 13, 2020.
Yasenchock, a combat veteran who suffers from PTSD, notes in his lawsuit that Repucci was well aware of his disability and exploited it when he confronted him in his office and again immediately after he left.

This is what taxpayers are funding in Rochester. Just think if administrators were concerned about math proficiency, and making sure all of the students were fluent with their math facts.

Repucci has left theRochester district, and has been hired by the Concord School district. As I’ve warned in the past, watch for those administrators who jump from district to district; often times they are running from their incompetence, or problems they’ve created in the school they are leaving.

Listen to the May 6th School Board meeting in Concord here.

You can watch the Concord School Board and administrators gush over their candidate, Kyle Repucci, and how they went through the interview process with him. Shockingly, the lawsuit wasn’t brought up. No one asked Repucci if he would be spying on the board members or union officials in Concord.

Why didn’t Repucci bring this up during this meeting?

It seems to me that whether you are guilty or not, you’d bring this up and either admit to what you’ve done or let them know exactly what happened if the facts are not accurate. I would want the person I’m hiring to have two important characteristics: honesty and integrity. Addressing the lawsuit and offering as much information as possible, allows the decision-makers to be fully informed. Not bringing the lawsuit up would cause me to believe the candidate wasn’t honest or had something to hide.

Then there’s The New Hampshire Code of Ethics and Conduct. Did The New Hampshire Department of Education conduct an investigation on the three administrators to see if they violated the Educator Code of Ethics or Conduct?
Who pays the bill on this lawsuit if the plaintiff wins a settlement? The taxpayers?

This is why people use the term “passing the trash” when referring to administrators who jump from school to school after being involved with incidents like this.

New Hampshire Dems like to talk about diversity and equity and POC or even BIPOC, minorities “being seen,” Critical Race Theory, and even white supremacy, so you’d be right to wonder why this doesn’t translate to candidates for federal offices.

Ann Kuster announced her retirement at the end of this congressional session, so we expect a few Democrats to line up to feed at that through. It’s NH CD-2. If you get into the office, you can milk that cow forever. And line up they did, but it looks a bit more like what you’d expect from their plantation South ideological ancestors.

Pasty white.

Colin Van Ostern, one of the whitest carbon-based life forms in the Granite State, announced before the echo faded from Annie’s retirement announcement. Shortly after, Becky Whitley, a lighter shade of pale, tossed her pasty-white hat into the ring. And now we’ve got Maggie Tamposi Goodlander, who “lives” in New Hampshire, to run for federal office (probably a DNC-foisted favorite). An arrangement not lost on one other primary opponent.

“As a second district voter myself, I believe strongly this race will be decided by the people of our district — not by wealthy or powerful interests from outside our state,” Kuster said. “Colin is a proven New Hampshire leader who has won this district before and will again.”

A little catfight is good for the race, but Goodlander will probably have a lot of money from her DC contacts (she was a White House Lawyer for Biden and worked at State), and her mom and dad have deep developer roots in the State. Cash won’t be a problem. She is also younger and prettier than Colin, but he’s right about the carpetbagger feel. And since Goodlander was probably farmed by DNC Beltway insiders, including folks in the Biden White House who were responsible for stripping New Hampshire of its First in the Nation Democrat Presidential primary (over people of color and lack of diversity issues), you’d be right to ask why they didn’t try harder to find a black woman, if they tried at all.
