Manchester, N.H.
We’ve shared a number of reports and lists of athletes collapsing or dying as a result of sudden heart failure. Myocarditis, Pericarditis, often during competition, many resulting in sudden death. No overtime. And the list keeps getting longer.
It’s gotten to be such a problem that Wikipedia stopped listing soccer players who had died during matches or just after. A list that dated back to 1889 ends in mid-October.
That’s about the same time online interest in the growing number of collapsing athletes began to grow. Just a coincidence, I’m sure. /sarcasm. …
We’ve shared some of the missing casualties and others in other sports or non-professional athletes here, here, and here.
It’s sad, tragic, and preventable – but refusing The Jab is verboten, and a wide range of occupations are impacted, not the least of which is health care.
This particular pandemic isn’t worth the column inches, so it has been up to the new media to keep the body count in the public eye.
Good sciencing.com has compiled one of the longest lists of COVID-induced athlete deaths we’ve yet seen so while we’re sharing it here, please give them a bit of page-link love (and I hope we can share more of their content in the future to show our thanks for this list).
Note: These lists will overlap with those we’ve published previously though this is more up to date.

As for the inevitable comments on these pages, I have no personal interest nor will your prompting change my mind. I’m very happy despite what you Lefties have done to our country and our world. And I will continue to be a happy warrior for liberty.
If that makes you more miserable than you already are, well, yours is the party of death, and I’ll leave it at that.

Grokster Ann-Marie passed this along from Kensington from Al Brandano who did a fair amount of work on Voter Trust and Voter Integrity in his own town.
I felt is was sufficiently worthy to put up a la “we provide, you decide” on whether it would make sense for anyone else to use this as a template of doing your own in your town. Remember our constant adage:
If it is happening in our town, it probably is in yours as well. You just don’t realize it – yet.
And you won’t until you no longer think “somebody should look into this” and go “If not me, who will?”
And as we have found out, we’re glad we looked into this kind of stuff. Here’s the first page – full PDF is after it.

Kensington
Selectman MeetingCover Letter introducing;
Citizen’s Report to the town of Kensington on Voter Trust & Integrity ( of Dec. 3, 2021)To the residents of Kensington;
I have researched and produced this information with no bias, ill will or intentions, toward any town official, or citizen.
I am not here to prosecute or impugn anyone’s reputation or actions, other than to share with my fellow citizens what I have learned from this review.
I am respectfully requesting after said review the Selectman, Town Clerk, and Moderator will find it in the towns best interest to now join me in requesting at the annual town meeting” to add a warrant article, to return back to our civic duty and 250 year old tradition, to again hand count election -voting ballots!
Also I believe there are concerns surrounding our apparent purchase of the Accuvote Counting Machine in 2014. Combined with the apparent lack of state and or town controls, over audits, protocols – procedures and questions raised could possibly put the town in jeopardy.
I respectfully request that this report and exhibits be made available to all residents of Kensington on the town web site, report, and or hard copy as a “91a. Right to Know.” So that all can become informed and involved in our most honored, sovereign, civic duty and civil right as an American to VOTE, in a free and fair election process.
Please let’s work together to restore the trust & integrity of our most precious right, that so many have paid the ultimate sacrifice for.

Biden’s arbitrary abuses are running up against a firewall in the federal courts. This time it’s another Federal judge and the Federal Contractor vaccine mandate.
BREAKING
A federal judge has again blocked the vaccine requirement, this time for federal contractors NATIONWIDE. This is the third time courts have agreed with our lawsuit and blocked vaccine mandates imposed by the Biden administration. pic.twitter.com/X66mDBmM71

Yesterday we reported on the Biden Admin getting shut down in a different court, and not long before that, another court placed a stay on the private employer mandate.
I’ve lost count, but until the legal process has worked its way through the courts, the Medicare/Medicaid (health care worker) vax mandate is blocked, the private employer (OSHA) vax mandate was blocked, and now the Federal contractor vax mandate has been blocked.
Can we get a court to announce that private vax mandates are discriminatory if the employer refuses to honor constitutional exemptions? That would also need to piggyback on a provision regarding bullying employees (like, in, say, the public schools) to get vaccinated in violation of their conscience or – heck, the old keep the government off my body schtick the left used to love so much.
No Feds in our beds, but you’re good with this.
Women have a right to complete control of their bodies, and since anyone can be a woman, that means we all have that right.
And with any luck, we won’t have to go there because that would be a little weird, but as Alinsky said, make them play by their own book of rules.

You know, I’m not sure which, in the end, is going to be overturned more often: Biden or Obama. Doesn’t matter – the Judiciary is doing the right thing in keeping Presidents “in their lanes” and making them Follow The Law. On the other hand, it shows how Power Hungry Presidents are to rule as Kings without accountability. From the Gateway Pundit (reformatted, emphasis mine):
BREAKING: Trump-Appointed Judge Blocks Biden’s Vaccine Mandate For Federal Contractors Nationwide
A federal judge on Tuesday blocked Joe Biden’s vaccine requirement for federal contractors nationwide. Judge Stan Baker in the US Court for the Southern District of Georgia, a Trump appointee, issued a preliminary injunction against Biden’s vaccine mandate.
The lawsuit, brought by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster along with other Republican attorneys general, argued Biden’s vaccine mandate violated the 10th Amendment. The lawsuit also argued Biden’s vaccine mandate is unconstitutional because only Congress is allowed to make rules. Georgia, Alabama, Idaho, Kansas, Utah and West Virginia attorneys general joined the lawsuit.
“Abuse of power by the Biden administration has been stopped cold again. The rule of law has prevailed and liberty is protected. When the president oversteps his authority the law is thankfully there to halt his misuse of power,” SC AG Wilson said.
10th Amendment – that Amendment that says that the Federal Government only has certain enumerated Powers granted by the Constitution and that all remaining Powers are to the “various States” and to the People. The Left hates it and generally tries to “guilt” or scold those of us who use it in arguments by issuing the lame “What, you want to bring back Slavery, too?”. But it exists for a reason and here it is.
So Biden took 3 bites at the OSHA apple of VAX mandates and has ended up with a worm every time.
The question, does he realize it or thinks it’s just a small string of black licorice?

The latest coordinated hit piece against Tucker Carlson, from a combination of self-serving individuals and the usual corporate media outlets, is nothing short of desperately sniffing parmesan cheese to get the next news cycle high.
It also reveals how little ammunition remains in the woke artillery.
There has been little coverage of this story in conservative circles, and indeed, it only came to my attention after an across-the-aisle friend asked me what I thought about it. I won’t bother linking to leftist outlets because they don’t deserve the clicks and ad revenue, but the precis of the situation is that Tucker Carlson allegedly asked Hunter Biden for a recommendation letter – to the latter’s alma mater – circa 2015 for the former’s college-bound son.
And…that’s it.
The clear implication of the story is that Carlson is a fraud because he is a self-styled populist on camera and an elitist elbow-rubber off it.
I admit that I was initially surprised to see anything linking Carlson to the younger Biden in a positive light, but on second glance, why wouldn’t two prominent men eventually come into contact and find common interest?
The story, without explicitly saying it, falsely propagates the notion that politically-distant foes could never find a common bond. While their publicly-known lifestyles do not line up, both are of similar age, both have similar pedigrees, and being human, no doubt have other complexities and interests that offer more overlap than not.
It is neither a scandal that Carlson befriended Biden nor that he would have asked him for a college recommendation letter. Anyone that has attended college or sought to get their child(ren) in college must admit that the requisite letters always came from a person of influence. Otherwise, why get a letter at all? As a graduate of the school in which Carlson’s son sought the letter, Hunter Biden made perfect sense.
In every effort to gaslight the hell out of the American public, this specific focus also highlights the corrupt corporate media’s transition from hiding and denying the initial revelation of Hunter Biden’s laptop to now allowing dissemination of select leaks.
So the laptop story is accurate now?
When the New York Post broke its bombshell piece just weeks before the 2020 presidential election, every major news outlet and social media giant silenced and/or banned even a reference to it. They had no interest in determining its veracity for themselves or wrestling with its implications.
Fast forward a year, and the single most important story from a trove allegedly containing questionable (and illicit) pictures, emails confirming various business arrangements trading on the Big Guy’s name, and sundry other concerning issues, is a single thread of short emails between Carlson and Biden in which the supposed friends speak amicably and in search of a small favor?
Is this really the most concerning email on the apparently-true forgotten laptop?
This is journalistic malpractice of the highest order.
The entire charade is also reminiscent of the recent attack on Jon Gruden’s professional football career. Out of some 650,000 emails, in a search for something else entirely, the only ones released – or at least reported on – to the public contained private exchanges involving colorful language by Gruden. Plenty of memes went around at the time juxtaposing Gruden with a picture of Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden. In this round of fake outrage, the same response can be applied. This is what we’re supposed to get worked up about?
Hillary Clinton scrubbed an entire private server, which was illegal in both the sense that it was private and scrubbed in the middle of a nominal search, deleting tens of thousands of emails in the process. No one cared.
Hunter Biden later came along with his laptop and most likely caught Papa Joe in multiple lies about previous knowledge of business partnerships and linked him directly to corrupt dealings. No one cared.
This was a lot of words dedicated to the initial question by my friend. The Tucker Carlson scandal? As if.
Although this is a nonstory – a nothingburger as people hipper than me like to say – the entire saga began when sleazeball lawyer Lin Wood shared a screenshot of the emails to his Telegram account. The fact that Carlson aired his exclusive interview with Kyle Rittenhouse just days prior, and in so doing allowed Rittenhouse to reveal what a slimy character Wood has vis-a-vis Rittenhouse’s three-month jailing despite having raised enough funds, surely prompted the vendetta-driven leak.
Wood went on a social media tirade using a lot of capital letters and discussions of lawsuits.
I had never heard of Lin Wood before the 2020 election recount process. The little I know now, based on how he apparently traded on a young kid’s name (and let him rot in a jail cell for months on end), later positioned himself to litigate the 2020 election recount efforts, and now weakly attempting a public shaming of Carlson, doesn’t bode well for this person’s character.
The real story is how a greasy lawyer probably made millions of dollars scamming decent Americans in the last year.
Tucker looks clean; I wonder what his emails would show?

The post The Media’s Pathetic Attempt To Discredit Tucker Carlson appeared first on Granite Grok.
What is it with this Administration, whose every program and action seems well planned to create failure and disaster?
To recall a few, there was the closing of Keystone XL oil pipe from Canada, the banning of drilling on Federal lands creating our current looming oil/energy crisis, opening the Border to every comer with no health/criminal background checks, the Afghan pullout, and the Covid vaccine fiasco (courts rejecting Biden’s mandates).
Plenty more but hitting the high points here.
Speaking of the Covid vaccines, Janci Chunn Lindsey Ph.D., molecular biologist writes that there is a credible concern that the Covid vaccines cross-react with syncytia (retroviral envelope protein) in sperm, ova, and placenta that impair fertility and reproductive outcomes.
Miscarriage rates of 82% have been a seldom publicized result (side effect) for pregnant women injected in the first twenty weeks after conception.
Add that to the CDC data revealing that three hundred children between 12 – 18 years of age have died from myocarditis, another recognized side effect of these vaccines.
In Europe, high numbers of soccer players have died from cardiac issues after getting The Jab.
Despite these concerns, the CDC still wants to mandate children down to the age of 5 be forced to get the injections and to hell with parental rights.
That’s one heck of an agenda they’re pushing but the question is whose agenda is it?
Since these vaccines do not stop the virus, they only make symptoms less severe, wouldn’t it make better sense just to treat it like we would any other virus? The death rates are an embarrassing blow for the government’s response (less than 1%) but it has become all political.
But is it just us?
We know that cartels are pouring fentanyl into this country in massive amounts and that overdose deaths are soaring ( mainly among the younger population) and that originally fentanyl was coming from China. It is now believed that China supplies the cartels with the ingredients for them to make it themselves. Put the pandemic and the fentanyl together and both have the China connection.
Okay call me crazy, say I’m a conspiracy theorist but there is no doubt there is that connection. A new kind of warfare?
Beats the heck out of Nukes seems to me.

The COVID-Cult dogma is rich in exaggeration and weighted down by deception. Nothing they have claimed is clinically or statistically accurate, and COVID-Gallielo’s are quickly put before the inquisition to be examined by its Holy Officers.
Galileo was found guilty of “vehement suspicion of heresy” and forced to repent his sins before God and the masters of his time by reading remarks prepared for him by The Church.
These days, the blasphemers are nurses, doctors, clinicians, oncologists, epidemiologists, numerous professional, scientific disciplines, all of whom have found themselves put before the inquisition like the climate scientists who question that political endeavor.
The Church is the globalist Public Health agenda and its COVID Dogma which continues to suffer the science of those whose interests are not politics or policy but science and public health.
To that end, they continue to ignore the Cult’s Pharisees, releasing mountains of research and analysis that contradict the preferred narratives. One of the most egregious is the idea that their mRNA cure is 95% effective.
The Cult references relative risk reduction instead of absolute risk reduction to confuse the debate. What’s the difference?
It’s actually pretty rare (especially in my world of oncology) to see Absolute Risk Reduction reported in a study. You’ll find that you have to calculate it for yourself. But if it’s so important, why do you have to manually calculate it for most studies? Why isn’t it reported with the findings?
Absolute Risk is less sexy than Relative Risk. It doesn’t make for good press headlines. …
Simply put, Absolute Risk Reduction is the only way to identify the true context of something reported in a clinical trial. It’s usually a much smaller number than Relative Risk Reduction (RRR), but it helps you assess the real-world impact of a study finding.
Even if we ignore the health risks from side effects, the mRNA injections cannot achieve the stated goal. Flatten the curve.
Instead of returning us to normal, they are the new normal. One that proliferates deceptions to protect the perception that public health is the driving interest. It is not, and the Absolute Risk Reduction, if widely known, would end the program and inspire more rebellion.
What is the actual number?
Dr. Joseph Mercola’s analysis states: While the COVID injections have been characterized as being somewhere around 95% effective against SARS-CoV-2 infection, this claim is the product of statistical obfuscation.
In short, they’ve conflated relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction. The absolute risk reduction is actually right around 1% for all currently available COVID shots.1
In “Outcome Reporting Bias in COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Clinical Trials”2 Ron Brown, Ph.D. calculates the absolute risk reduction for Pfizer’s and Moderna’s injections, based on their own clinical trial data, so that they can be compared to the relative risk reduction reported by these companies. Here’s a summary of his findings:
Sure, some folks would still line up, and others would line up their children because the propaganda campaign has been fierce and relentless. But the Absolute risk reduction number explains things that the 95% lie cannot.
Global Warming continues to be low on most people’s priority lists because they can see it not happening as described or predicted. The same needs to hold for the COVID cult.
None of this is as they have claimed or predicted.
Galileo, by the way, continued his work under house arrest, and so should you, no matter what that looks like in the 21st century.
The post Absolute Risk Reduction for Available COVID “Vaccines” is not 95% – It’s Closer to 1% appeared first on Granite Grok.
The reporter calls it a bitter pill to swallow. I call it tragic, wrong-headed, and stupid. People in Queensland, Australia, can be denied life-saving surgery if not fully vaccinated.
And what exactly does that mean?
Well, life-saving surgeries refer primarily to transplant surgery for now. That will expand to more treatments as the COVID-Cult works to weed out the unvaccinated.
But what does ‘fully vaccinated’ mean?
I was unable to drill down on short notice to get their definition, but this evolves with the addition of boosters. Being “fully vaccinated” has already changed. If you don’t accept every booster, and there will be more of them, be prepared to feel that cold hand of tyranny you ignored when it wasn’t coming from you.
Then there’s the vaccine itself.
It is not, by definition, a vaccine. It is not even an inoculation. These mRNA injections do not slow the spread or improve outcomes. There is evidence they make matters worse by sending carriers into the population of vaccinated and unvaccinated to spread the pathogen.
Some number of those will be high-risk or elderly, and they will die due to the false promise of these injections—a fatal flaw that drives backward policies like house arrest, incarceration, and discrimination against the unvaccinated.
And now Queensland has joined the other COVID fascist states by denying people life-saving surgery if they, for some reason, are disinclined to accept this particular pharmaceutical product into their body.

From the “you probably missed this” file. It’s another peek behind the curtain, and even if you are tuned in to it, revisiting it is not a bad thing. It’s about the globalist goal of “a registered, verifiable, digital ID for every child on the planet.”
The motivation, we’ll call it the lie, is this notion that by tagging everyone’s offspring, they can ensure future generations have access to life-saving vaccinations.
The Gavi alliance, flush with $1.16 billion in taxpayer dollars it received under the administration of former President Trump, is partnering with the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, the Gates Foundation and other globalist organizations to advocate for creating a registered, verifiable, digital ID for every child on the planet.
This ID will be tied to each child’s vaccination status.
Spoiler alert. The COVID19 mRNA “vaccines” are a greater threat to children than that thing for which you claim the need to innoculate them. I’m no globalist, but that sounds like a bad first act if you take my meaning.
Hey, we want to deny you not just medical privacy but privacy in general, and in exchange, here’s a pharmaceutical product that might kill you to protect you from a virus that won’t kill you.
What am I saying – this is about as globalist a thing as I can imagine!
“Imagine a future in which all children have access to life-saving vaccines no matter where they live – a future in which parents and health workers ensure their timely vaccination, a future in which they have their own digitally stored health record that cannot be lost or stolen, a future in which, regardless of gender, economic or social standing, this record allows each child (and parents) to have access to a bank account, go to school, access services and ultimately build a prosperous life. This future is possible today. With the latest advances in digital technologies that enable more effective ways to register, identify births and to issue proof of identity and authentication for access to services – we are on the brink of building a healthier and more prosperous future for the world’s most vulnerable children.”
I have an mRNA vaccine to sell you if you are swooning. But be warned. It has a lot of known effects, none of which include preventing infection or spread of COVID.
So, it might disable or kill me and turn me into a super-spreader? Sold!
And some number of kids who had nothing to fear from COVID will die. All in the name of public health.
The real purpose behind the historic, unprecedented push to vaccinate the very young, even against diseases like Covid that do not pose a threat to them, is to fold the current generation of children into the blossoming global digital identity system. When they grow into adults, they will be so used to being tracked and monitored that most won’t even be able to comprehend warnings from the past about loss of privacy.
And those who resist or try to protect their children may find themselves in the company of the COVID Sturmabteilung.
Nothing says public health more than a good beating by thuggish proxies of the New World Order.

Students at Ariza State University got bent when they found out Kyle Rittenhouse had been accepted. “No killers,” but wait – ASU educates thousands of actual convicted felons, because, according to them, “education is a right that inheres within our humanity.”
Where’s the Student outrage over this?
ASU’s Prison Education Programming (PEP—formerly Prison English) begins with a belief that education is a right that inheres within our humanity. It is not a right that stops at a prison’s gates. Education needs to traverse borders and boundaries, including prison boundaries.
Arizona State University espouses community engagement, an effort to reach out from its campuses in order to achieve beneficial and lasting effects. In the words of the university’s vision statement, “ASU strengthens communities by contributing to community dialogue and responding to communities’ needs. We provide an education that’s inclusive rather than exclusive. Our students engage in the world around them.” PEP locates itself squarely within this work of community engagement.
That’s the University’s position on providing higher learning to the local prison population.
In other words, if Kyle had been convicted and incarcerated in Arizona, he could have received at least the beginnings of a free college education from ASU. Professors would go to the prison campus and teach him. But because he is innocent narrow-minded pie-eyed leftists don’t want him to receive an online education.
Yes, Kyle was enrolled as an online student, but Kyle isn’t even enrolled there anymore.
ASU’s students “engaged in the world around them” and denied Kyle “an education that is inclusive rather than exclusive.”
Maybe ASU should put a few of those protesters on trial for violating the community standards or whatever they call it these days.

As we watch the violence and unabated crime spreading like cancer across our country, it’s hard to believe that so many on the left still embrace the lunatic, anti-police hysteria causing it. But sfgate.com recently reported on another case of liberal ideology replacing common sense.
The story was about two San Francisco restaurant owners who ejected three San Francisco police officers from their eatery, allegedly because of staff concerns about their weapons.
The incident occurred on December 3rd at Hilda and Jesse, a San Francisco brunch spot. Owners later tried to justify, or at least explain their actions on Instagram. They said that after the three “armed” and “uninformed” officers were seated, the staff felt uncomfortable with the presence of their multiple weapons so the owners “politely” asked them to leave.
In a conciliatory gesture, they added that they “respect the San Francisco Police Department and are grateful for the work they do.” Apparently, they just want them to do that work unarmed.
They went on to explain that the police would be welcome in the restaurant off duty, out of uniform, and without their weapons – a “magnanimous” gesture that speaks volumes on the liberal philosophy.
We can’t know whether or not those owners truly respect the police, as they say. Maybe they do have an irrational fear of firearms. Maybe they haven’t had time to catch up on the news reports of crime spiraling out of control in cities like theirs. Or maybe, like AOC, they just don’t believe the crime statistics.
It’s possible they just don’t understand that those weapons, in the hands of well-trained police officers are important tools, essential to keeping the peace and that an unarmed police officer is like a restaurateur without a restaurant.
They say it wasn’t a political statement. We don’t know what they were thinking, but their actions are completely consistent with the anti-police hysteria infecting so many other cities run by liberal politicians.
They visualize a liberal utopia, void of weapons, void of police, and abounding in brotherly love. Rational people know that utopia is not yet here, nor is it on the horizon. Today’s society depends upon well-equipped police officers to enforce the laws and to keep the peace – and to do it while putting their own lives at risk.
The people like those running this restaurant can never learn common sense. And it would be un-American and un-Christian to hope that they one day learn the hard lessons in life through personal experience. But among the many quotes about Karma, this one seems the most appropriate: “Karma has no menu. You get served what you deserve.”

I run into resistance all of the time when supporting measures that would improve knowledge and literacy in the core academic subjects. That is why I’m making a public appeal to those who care about the poor quality of civics education students are receiving.
In the last legislative session, there were two Bills (HB 319 and HB 320) presented by Representative Michael Moffett. Both of these Bills required students to pass the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services civics naturalization test before graduation.
HB 319 required this of college students, and HB 320 required passage of the test by high school students.
HB 320 was signed into law by Governor Sununu, so now high school students need to attain a grade of 70 percent or better on the civics naturalization examination in order to graduate from high school.
Unfortunately, HB319 was not supported by the New Hampshire Senate Education Committee, despite its passage in the House after bipartisan sponsorship and bipartisan support, including 11-0 support from House Education Committee’s GOP members.
I can’t imagine how HB319 did not receive enough votes in the Senate Education Committee, but that means we need to work hard when all of The New Hampshire Senators vote on it in January.>
If you’ve been witness to the decline in civics education, there are ways that we can support these public institutions. If you believe that those graduating from our colleges and universities need to know some basic knowledge in civics, then you can help. You can contact the New Hampshire Senators and ask them to support HB 319 when it comes to the Senate floor.
Why would our New Hampshire Senators want to vote FOR HB 319?
1) 80% of the respondents to an NH Journal poll supported this graduation requirement. It is widely popular.
2) Purdue University added this civics testing requirement.
3) An embarrassing 2018 study by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation found that only 36% of Americans could pass the citizenship test. But 98% of naturalized candidates now pass the abbreviated oral versions.
4) High school graduates who already passed the civics assessment meet this requirement and would not have to repeat it in college.
5) There are exemptions to this requirement, like foreign nationals.
6) A few years ago, Teacher of the Year from Exeter spoke before the State Board of Education on civics education after receiving his award. He was critical of the over-emphasis on STEM (Science Technology and Math) because it has negatively impacted civics literacy.
7) Supreme Court Justices have been highly critical, and concerned about the lack of civics literacy. They called for more civics education.
8) Civics education tends to focus on political activism versus academic content knowledge.
9) This is one way to help ensure an educated citizenry.
10) Those opposed have mentioned that we can Google this information. That’s another way of ignoring an illiteracy problem.
11) The test can be taken online as many times as needed in order to pass.
12) 63% of college graduates didn’t know the term length of a U.S. Senator.
13) Passing this assessment would increase the value of the college diploma.
Here is the language that would be added to New Hampshire law if HB 319 were to be signed into law:
New Section; Community College System of New Hampshire; Civics Graduation Requirement. Amend RSA 188-F by inserting after section 6 the following new section:
188-F:6-a Every student admitted or transferring to an institution in the community college system of New Hampshire on or after January 1, 2023 shall, as a requirement for graduation and in addition to any other degree graduation requirements, show proof of having passed the 128-question 2020 version of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services naturalization test with a score of 70 of better, or shall be required take and pass such test with a score of 70 or greater. Community college system of New Hampshire institutions shall establish procedures to administer, certify, and record results of this assessment for students needing to satisfy this requirement. Exchange students and foreign nationals shall be exempt from this section.
One might want to ask themselves, why would anyone oppose improving literacy in Civics? Unfortunately, the institutions themselves tend to object when there are attempts to raise the bar. That is unfortunate because that is what leads to the conclusion that these public institutions are not always making the effort to improve literacy in the core academic subjects.
*If you are fed up with what you see happening to our public institutions, and understand that there are ways to improve upon their product, then you can do something.
*If you are concerned that these institutions are too focused on political indoctrination and political activism, then you can do something. *If you are fed up with college students having to pay tuition but then not being given the content knowledge in civics, then you can do something. Is it too much to ask that graduating college students have some basis of knowledge in civics? Of course not. It should concern all of us that anyone would object to raising the bar on our public institutions. You can do something. You can contact our New Hampshire Senators and tell them that we want something better for our kids when they attend a public school or college. Tell them to support the passage of HB 319 when they vote on this in January. Who is my senator: http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/senate/members/wml.aspx Senate Roster: http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/senate/members/senate_roster.aspx EMAIL ALL NH SENATORS: Senators@leg.state.nh.us You can do something very easy by just sending an email or making a phone call. This would be a step in the right direction and an effort to stop the dumbing down of these young adults who deserve better.The post CALL TO ACTION: Tell NH Senators to Improve Civic Education – Vote FOR HB319 appeared first on Granite Grok.
Are you already a kratom enthusiast who wants to learn more about the various strains? If you are, then you have come to the right place. You’ll learn everything there is to know about the strain’s effects and the optimal dose to achieve the greatest outcomes.
It’s critical to feel secure and informed while purchasing for anything, and kratom is no exception. That is why we have taken the opportunity of recommending the best sellers for purchasing Red Bali kratom. Each has a high rating and is well-known in the kratom community. Now, you won’t have to spend hours scouring the internet for a reputable provider.
History
Since humans have been using kratom for millennia (Cinosi et al., 2015, pg 4), it’s unsurprising that Red Sumatra and Red Bali have a long history.
Sumatra, a Sunda island in western Indonesia, is most likely the inspiration for Red Sumatra. However, the majority of Sumatra kratom is likely to originate from the island of Borneo, which produces and exports the majority of the world’s kratom. Unlike Red Bali, Red Sumatra has a slew of other names. Frequently, the strain is referred to or sold as “Indo”, “Riau” kratom.
While it might be difficult to locate Red Sumatra, Red Bali is more popular because of its widespread availability. As the name implies, Red Bali is from the Indonesian region of Bali. It may be a combination of Sumatra and Borneo kratom strains in certain situations.
Red Sumatra Kratom
Due to its relaxing effect, sumatra red kratom is by far the most popular strain among users compared to green and white kratom. They are an excellent alternative for anyone looking to unwind their body or enjoy a peaceful experience throughout the day.
Red Sumatra Kratom is not as mild as white or green vein kratom, and it is a potent pain reliever that quickly relaxes the body more naturally. Individuals who struggle with sleeplessness flock toward this kratom.
This kratom has everything necessary for the user’s general growth and wellness to live a pain-free existence.
They come in a variety of varieties, including Red Tha and Pontianak Red Horn. Each kind has a unique purpose but mostly aids the user in relaxing via sound sleep. Additionally, you may read this Red Sumatra Kratom review to learn more about the advantages and effects of Red Vein Kratom.
The Benefits of Red Sumatra Kratom include the following:
Red Sumatra Kratom offers a plethora of benefits, some of which are listed below:
Extracts of Red Sumatra Kratom
Kratom extracts are the purest form of the herb. They are very concentrated, so Sumatra Red Vein Kratom is only suggested for long-term Kratom users. Extracts are created by a series of steps that include boiling, drying, and grinding. Extracts are available from all major sellers.
Tinctures are a similar type of Kratom product to extracts, and they are a relatively new product on the market and, like extracts, are not recommended for first-time consumers.
Who Is Good for Red Sumatra Kratom?
As the most popular option among its users, Red Sumatra Kratom delivers a variety of advantages that improve the user’s quality of life by giving a peaceful experience. If you’re someone who struggles with restless nights and severe bodily discomfort, this is for you.
Red Bali Kratom
According to some kratom specialists, the Red Bali strain crosses the Borneo and Sumatra strains. However, some claim that it is cultivated in Indonesia’s JongKong forest. What matters is that the “red wine of kratom,” as users frequently refer to this strain, is derived from the leaves of the evergreen kratom tree, which may reach a height of around 80 feet.
Users rely on this popular yet reasonably priced kratom strain for the following:
Dosage of Red Bali Kratom
To get the most out of the Red Bali strain, the dose must be correct. The right dose is frequently determined by a range of factors, including the following:
In general, the following effects will occur at various dose levels:
If you suffer from persistent pain or insomnia, 12 grams may be the ideal quantity. However, you should never exceed 12 grams of the Red Bali strain, and any dose more than this may cause adverse effects such as anxiety, dyspnea, vomiting, and nausea.
The Red Bali strain is both safe and very effective for novices and specialists at the recommended doses.
Which Strain to Choose?
Consider the sort of experience you want from your kratom when comparing Red Sumatra versus Red Bali.
Red Sumatra appears to be the most “balanced” of the two strains, combining drowsiness, vigor, and bliss. Consequently, it may be preferable for people who like the advantages of red kratom but feel that strains such as Red Bali are too sedating. Additionally, because Red Sumatra does not appear to be very sedating, it may be appropriate for daytime and evening usage.
If you require a high sedative and pain relief level, Red Bali may be the best option. However, Red Bali’s apparent sedative properties may be less ideal for daytime usage than Red Sumatra. If you plan to use Red Bali throughout the day, you may feel extreme fatigue.
Conclusion
While both Red Sumatra and Red Bali are red strains, user reviews show that they offer significantly distinct experiences. It’s impossible to say which strain is the best for you. Kratom’s effects vary by individual, and your experiences with these strains may differ from those of the average user. Finally, there is no substitute for personal experience. That being stated, we hope this guide has aided you in exploring the huge world of kratom and kratom strains!

The Let’s Go Brandon phenomenon has gone retail. No, not online retail – like we’ve done here – but bricks and mortar retail. There is a physical store in North Attleboro, Massachusetts called, wait for it, Let’s Go Brandon Store.
Hey anyone in Massachusetts need to go shopping, there’s a new store in town! #LetsGoBrandon
https://t.co/miQ9OuSRY7— Andrew Mahoney (@AMahoney49er) December 5, 2021
[WJAR NBC10] NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. (WJAR) — A Let’s Go Brandon store has opened in North Attleborough. The North Washington Street store sells “Let’s Go Brandon” merchandise like hats, shirts, and signs.
If anyone goes there, take a few pictures for us to share but warning! Massachusetts is filled with gun-hating Karens. Enter the Bay State at your own risk if yo are not already trapped there.
I’d also be surprised dif the FBI isn’t casing the joint and taking pictures of people frequenting the business. They can’t just be chasing down J6 attendees and harassing them for being in DC during their capital incursion op.
One more point. Will this trigger lefties the way one of the Gun Stores in my town did?

Insidious. First, it was control by Healthcare. Now it is controlling your lifestyles, you First Worlders (from whom all Badness flows).
Yep, Redistribution by other means. The Paris Accords distributes by “Emissions Equity”. Now we are hearing about “Vaccine Equity”. “Progressive Michael Kitch, formerly of the Laconia Daily Sun, DEMANDED that I, as a BudComm member, raise my town’s taxes to send that money to “people that are hurting” (here and here):
I lost all respect, years ago, for Laconia Daily Sun Reporter Michael Kitch when we had a blowout argument that my town was made up of residents and elected officials that were cheapskates. Certainly, he knew that I truly believed that when I was on the Budget Committee in my hamlet, I tried mightily to act in the vein that “this is not my money” – and spent a lot of time trying to convince others of the same. If anything, I tried to be more frugal with other peoples’ money, their property tax monies, than I am with my own. After all, it IS mine – I earned it and I should be able to spend it the way I want to.
Kitch believes otherwise – he could not understand (or stand) the idea that I (and my town, and other political entities) refused to raise the taxes on our residents simply to send that money to towns and cities that were broke.
Broke not because the single industry in town just up and left (and to which I would have some empathy) but because of years and decades of Progressive / Liberal / Democrat rule – the largest example now being Detroit. As I have written here before, we had a screaming match over the fact that I refused to send money to the leaders of those towns, who have already proved that they are incapable of wisely spending their taxpayers monies. WHY would I want to send them more and “enable” their bad habits? His response was that ‘we are all in this together, that there were people still hurting in those cities, that the intent to help was paramount, and it was irrelevant that the political and appointed leaders would just waste that extra money.
Right…
I want to give MY hard earned money to people who will just set a match to it via paying off political favors, paying up the huge public unions, kept the hamster treadmill of corruption spinning at supersonic speeds, and to hold blameless these chuckleheads who should be held severely accountable . Instead, in this time of “demanding Justice for Tryvon”, where is the outrage against the Detroit “Leadership” (many who have ending up in jail at a rate similar to that of former Massachusetts Speakers of the House)?
But Kitch believes that I, and folks that believe like me, am the bad guy ’cause I refuse to put my hand in my pocket, pull out the green, and blithely send it away simply because I live in what he believes to be “a rich town”.
Yeah, Socialists want to enable bad behavior but then absolve them of guilt because “the System”. Just like we are seeing these mass “Smash & Grabs” popping up all over the nation as Progressives continue to “defund the Police”. Normal people suffer as Soros bought and paid for local District Attorneys create revolving doors in which police bring in the malcontents and the D.A.’s simply release them. Yeah, those Urban Democrat areas are the ones I’m supposed to send my money to, Mike? Enabling BAD Governance? But I digress.
As TreeHugger Lloyd puts it, always “Eat the Rich”. Or the perceived Rich.
Well, that turned out to be a rehash of older history (2012) revisited but the idea remains the same – forcibly take from those that have succeeded in life simply because “FAIRNESS”. And now the latest idea is this to accomplish the same thing but by yet another name over at Treehugger:
It’s still a hot potato. The report will also raise eyebrows because it introduces the concept of “a fair consumption space,” with a more equitable distribution of the limited carbon budgets: People in poor countries get more, and people in rich countries have to face serious cuts in per capita emissions.
Without going through all of their “logic”, and the charts, and their basic premise that Humans can reset Climate (or at least stop its changing), it comes down to this:
Individuals will be allowed only 2.5 tons of carbon emissions/year. Canadians (and most likely Americans as well), will be chopped from their current 14.2 tons/year.
So, like your lifestyle? Pretty soon, if these Totalitarians in the Name of Gaia, have their way, we’ll all be Third World Countries. Hope you like your dung fueled fires…
This Treehugger post is just so out there in being so smug that they can just take control of entire countries to get their goals accomplished. It really is rather laughable, but they are completely serious about it:
“Lifestyles impacts of climate change are accelerated by cultural norms that encourage consumerism, are driven by advertising, exacerbated by planned obsolescence, and are proliferating in a growth-driven macro- economic context that depends on ever increasing private and public consumption. Some of the products flooding the market and contributing to climate change, arguably, neither have a function nor contribute to the wellbeing of consumers, their existence predicated on fulfilling a profit motive.”
They hate you and how you live – and they are making it clear that they are going to change it – and they are going to make sure you can’t stop them. They take a very dim view of anything that isn’t a “want” in THEIR eyes and it is clear the above is an extremely veiled threat (to the point of being invisible) against Capitalism. It’s clear that they are now open to being Totalitarian in what they must do – and what you WILL do.
There’s more – a lot more. Comments are a bit scary as well. An example: do you know that if you are a land owner, that the State still owns your land? And think of THOSE ramifications if true?
I now introduce the idea that Socialists don’t want “fairness”, they want Poverty Fairness!
The post DISQUS Doodlings – The Eco-Socialist Mask Drops Even More: “a fair consumption space,” Part 1 appeared first on Granite Grok.
The eco-socialists are not above trying to manipulate your emotions to get you to do what they want. Didn’t nagging moms do this? And how well did it work as you got older?
My Mom was a master but once I hit my mid-teens, I just gave her a surly look and she realized that her #1 technique to get me to do something was no longer effective.
Treehuggers, however, think they can “nudge” (a la Obama’s Cass Sunstein who believed that Government SHOULD manipulate you into doing the things they thought were “right”) adults as if we all are little children (emphasis mine):
Guilt Is Good for Fixing the Climate
Rather than dismissing the use of guilt or shame, we should instead learn to understand how they work.
Yep, they are not above making you feel bad about yourself ALL THE TIME. What a way to go through life – and what a life to live whose only purpose is to make other people feel bad about themselves.
…When I was writing my upcoming book last year, I interviewed Jennifer Jacquet—author of the book “Is Shame Necessary?”—about whether guilt and shame can be useful in generating meaningful social change. Her response was unequivocal: She told me that these emotions have gotten a bad rap. Rather than dismissing the use of guilt or shame, we should instead learn to understand how they work, and we should harness them as one part of a broader emotional toolbox:
E.g., for THEIR Eco-Socialist Agenda and not just what we used to think of as traditional mores or norms. Norms are Society’s version of Laws – keeping people from doing bad things. Here, however, they want to, as the Left is wont to do, CHANGE those norms. And it is ALL about punishment as they realize that they have no carrot to offer in getting people to live with less:
Guilt is the best way to regulate society and individual behavior because it’s the cheapest form of punishment. If you think about it from a game theory perspective, punishment is costly. You have to take some sort of risk, or pay for a state apparatus to do punishment. If you can get the individual to regulate their own behavior through what we would call a conscience, and if you can get them to internalize social norms, then that’s ideal. But anyone who’s a parent knows there are a lot of stages to actually achieving that.
And there you go – THEY are the parents and we are the mere toddlers to be manipulate. And note, too, the idea that punishment is just a tool – and not even one to be used just lightly. Torturers look upon punishment and pain as “mere tools” to get what they want – you can take THAT statement anyway you want.
In other words, it would actually be quite helpful if more of us felt more guilty more of the time about the less-than-optimal choices we make. (This is especially true for people in positions of power.) The trouble, however, is not just how to generate new social norms where polluting behaviors are frowned on, but also how to do so without distracting us from what matters most.
You see, they aren’t happy with the norms YOU currently follow – like all good Socialists, they want to replace YOUR’S that may make you often happy with THEIR’S that make you feel bad. Such a choice?
And here is where they really let it all hang out:
…We can and must move beyond whether this or that emotion is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for our cause. The climate crisis is all-encompassing, and our responses are going to need to be all-encompassing too. The trick is not whether to harness a particular emotion, but rather what do I harness it for, and what will the likely outcome be?
I predict utter rage from adults that will go “HELL No!” when they realize what is being done to them (and as an aside, make no doubt about it – the Biden Administration is trying to change ALL of our norms all at once). Several of us let the writer, Sami Grover, know that this is doomed to failure:
Vindaloo Bugaboo (aka, VB): Shaming only works on weak-minded people, Sami.
Thank you for finding my previous comments important enough to write a whole new post covering the topic, but your argument is fraught with all kinds of errors – errors which I do not care to expound upon via correction.
What I will say is that of logos, ethos, and pathos, quite often the debate you and others here make for addressing climate change ignore entirely the realm of logos, attempts to justify the veracity of the claimed ethos, and relies wholly upon pathos (i.e. the “feels”) to denigrate, coerce, and effect change. Until you understand those three and how people respond to each one, you’re going to continue to fail.
There’s also a difference between being authentic and being psychopathic, relying on charm and manipulation to achieve one’s end goals. Those who aren’t weak-minded can see through the charm and manipulation and will stand against it; those who are, will not, and instead become useful pawns for others to sow dissention and malcontent.
I upvoted that. However, there were three people who downvoted that – proving that these folks have no problem in forcefully adjusting your outlook on life (instead of leaving you alone). What kinds of people ARE these? At the sake of breaking Godwin’s Law, I ask: are they vying to be Emotional Nazis in trying to remake you into some Frankenstein of their own design – making you not you any more?
Indeed, VB. Most of the people I hang with aren’t going to put up with being emotionally manipulated – exactly what Sami is saying a “common good” because “agenda”.
I’m actually rather horrified that otherwise nice sounding people would revert to becoming mere “emotional abusers” to achieve such an agenda.
Really, Sami, you really want to go there? Way to kill off “trust”.
There’s already a lack of trust in a lot of institutions today and much of it goes back to them trying to manipulate the masses for their own purposes. People see that and go “Up Yours!“.
And I think that is a splendid way to end this comment.
The only thing that I’m surprised about is that they let the comment stand.
I look around and it is clear that this is one of the Left’s main tools – changing our norms to them. Just look at the names they call us: xenophobe, Christianist, climate denier, misogynist, homohobe, transphobe, RACIST. All of these (and a lot more, a LOT more) are all meant to induce guilt and shame even as we follow traditional norms. Vary even a tittle (of “jot or” fame) from theirs and you are scum of the earth. OUR norms are not to be used to defend ourselves with – only theirs matter. It IS the Way.
Or, theirs, anyways.
That’s why, long ago, I started to just laugh at them every time they tried it. Except for the most hard core of them, they got this deer-in-headlight look on their face, completely astonished that 1) someone didn’t feel guilty, 2) didn’t wholeheartedly accept their premise, and 3) had no idea how to handle someone ridiculing / laughing at them.
And that’s the best time to have a camera on them (hopefully by a friend) to catch the next bit in which they start saying REALLY stupid things as you continue to logically keep “poking them with their own emotional stick”.

I’ve been waking up mornings, checking the temperature out on the porch and it’s typically below freezing since it is December. Then I turn the thermostat up a couple of degrees and get on with the day. Betting most of the rest of the people of this nation above the Mason Dixon are pretty much doing the same.
So it kind of fries me when I hear or read some idiot promoting this “climate change/global warming” nonsense. Please don’t give me the glaciers melting crap that’s been happening for thousands of years.
Forty years ago Al Gore claimed all the World’s cities by the sea would be underwater in ten years. As far as I’m currently aware, Manchester NH is not yet a seaport. Yeah, but then Al went on to buy an expensive mansion by the sea while getting rich jetting around promoting his scam (is “scam” the right word?).
Have any of those still dedicated to this nonsense told readers that eighteen freighters are currently trapped in the Arctic ice north of Russia and possibly could be there for months? No?
I suppose this and other real facts such as that polar bear populations are doing very well as is ice thickness levels at both Poles. Didn’t think so, it kind of pops their “World is gonna end!” theory as do temperatures on my back porch. And you know, this year is no aberration as year after year, decade after decade, winters have been wintery and summers summery ever since Mr. Gore started his “Chicken Little” dance.
It isn’t likely to change just because 97% of the “scientists” being paid to “study” the climate say so and would find themselves without a job if they can’t make their computer models dance to the right tune.
The fact is, without the grants these people get from special interest sources ( those who build and sell wind turbines, solar panels, and every other associated product imaginable), they would have to go out and get real jobs.
And this brings me back around to our government mandate for shutting down the pipelines, stopping the drilling, oil shortages that are crippling every aspect of our economy, and driving up prices for all we retirees, working families, poor, or anyone not rich enough to skate. I don’t care what party you belong to, it’s hurting us all.
The solution can only be to reject the nonsense and replace elected officials who are hurting you. There is nothing “better” about the current administration’s policies.
It hurts us here in America and other people around the globe. No one except politicians, special interest folks, Russia and China, and drug cartels are benefiting.
I’d like to think most of us in this country actually care. Get out and vote and save yourselves and all the rest of us too.

Congressional approval ratings are abysmal, – and for good reason. For years, our elected representatives in Washington have been spending our nation into oblivion, racking up debt that amounts to over $87,000 for each US citizen. With unfunded liabilities, that number surpasses $484,000 per person. If you’re wondering why the cost of everything is going through the roof, here it is.
Our most fundamental rights are being threatened by vaccine mandates. US energy security has been undermined by special interest players whose visions for green energy are simply not supported by facts. Monopolistic tech companies are doing their best to silence free speech, shielded by US laws that afford them special treatment. Our southern border is an open door to drug smugglers and human traffickers. While BLM activists burn down our cities, concerned parents are being arrested simply for speaking out at school board meetings.
Our nation needs representatives who will demand a return to common sense. We need people who will champion the 2nd Amendment, unapologetically defend religious liberty, secure our border, restore election integrity, and put a stop to runaway spending. We need elected representatives who will stand firmly in opposition to the prevalent political culture in Washington, DC.
That’s why I’m endorsing Karoline Leavitt for Congress. As a State Representative and long-time grassroots activist here in New Hampshire, I’ve shared the frustration that many people in our state are experiencing. The elites in Washington apparently either don’t understand our concerns, or they don’t care.
Over four decades ago, Ronald Reagan called on his fellow Republicans to “raise a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on the issues troubling the people.”
No other candidate in the CD1 race embodies that ethic more clearly than Karoline Leavitt. As a lifelong Granite Stater, Karoline has her finger on the pulse of our communities. She grew up here, working in her family’s business and later graduating from St. Anselm College. As a valued member of Kayleigh McEnany’s team in the White House Press Office, Karoline understands what we’re up against. She knows Washington, but she’s never been part of the Washington machine. She will represent all Granite Staters, including those who don’t currently have a voice in our political process.
If you agree that it’s time to drain the DC swamp, I ask you to join me in supporting Karoline Leavitt for US Congress in 2022.
NOTE: The statements above constitute an individual endorsement, and should not be attributed to the 603 Alliance or any other group with which I’m involved.
