Federal Govt LIED to Us – They Are Taking Away Our Gas Stoves – And Going After Our Fridges, A/Cs, and Clothes Washers/Dryers

And aren’t you just THRILLED with how well your new dishwasher works (sarcasm – I hate mine)?  Thanks, Govt, for “looking out for me”!  All by our faceless, unaccountable, unelected, and now, REALLY unassailable bureaucrats all in thrall to Global Warming.

Granholm: Lots of Misinformation About Gas Stove Bans, But Yeah, This Rule Would Ban Half of Them

Sometimes we ‘break’ a story before almost anyone else, like how a radical green group funded the research used to propose Gas Stove Ban. Both got legs. The alleged ban and the research funding issue, but the response from the Left was mixed.

Banning Gas Stoves, Dogs and Cats, Living Together, Mass Hysteria …

Two days ago, which is forever in internet time, we covered the attempt to ban gas stoves for cooking and connected funding for the study to a gas-banning green group. The story has quickly evolved and been exposed even further, and I’d like to get you up to speed.

Report Motivating Feds to Consider Gas Stove Ban Funded By Green Group Committed to Transition Away From… Natural Gas

The Feds are coming for your gas stoves! “The US Consumer Product Safety Commission is considering the health risks associated with gas cooking.”  Why not just say you hate efficient, affordable home cooking? Or, how about choosing between charging the EV they made you buy with a 7-year loan or a hot meal?

New York State Dems Ban Natural Gas in New Construction (Heat, Stoves, All of It!)

In one of the finest examples of backward thinking Progressivism, the fuel responsible more than anything in the past two decades for lowering American emissions (if you still think that’s a thing we should do) was just banned by NY Democrats.

Treehugger – Yep, I’m Unstacking Stuff. Treehugger Was against Stoves before They Were against Stoves.

I have to admit, again, that I do spend quite a bit of time over at Treehugger “mining” for fodder. Sometimes, too much time because then I can’t decide what to bring back here and there are a lot of times, on a lot of their posts, my comments go in all kinds of directions.

Are the Left’s Anti-Oil and Gas Policies Fracking Racist!?

Just so we’re clear the Democrat Race-Pimps Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are in favor of transitioning to what the left pretends are cleaner forms of energy (they are not). But they are concerned that the current crop of Fracking-banners would place an unfair burden on African Americans.

Biden Harris Energy Policy: Hatin’ On Poor People

Everything about the so-called push to electrify everything while replacing fossil fuels is a bad idea. The lower emissions monkeys are – first and foremost – doing the work in the wrong place. The emissions you are looking for are in Africa, Asia, India, and China, where a few weeks of hard work will get … Read more

June Wasn’t So Hot After All

I’m sure we can all sit back and relax, knowing they will announce how July 2024 was the hottest on record. I won’t be, but it is good to be prepared, and as a primer,  June 2024 was not the hottest June ‘on record’ either.

What Is Morally Justifiable

There Is no such thing as “morally justifiable” except in the minds of Liberals. If we continue to let the Left enjoy a majority rule, we will continue to see our rights and privileges erode and have no one to blame but the face in the mirror.

Memorial Day: A Look Back – And Forward?

You see, after years of “benign neglect,” one of the items for me, “semi-retirement,” was to focus on family and home. To the latter, a number of issues have arisen over the almost two decades, and now they have to be addressed.

The “Enduring American Tradition of Firearms Regulation ” Defense … Went About as Well As You’d Expect.

In 2022, the State of Washington, rather than punishing only criminals who bring more than ten rounds of ammunition to a crime, took its hoplophbia out on everyone by prohibiting the sale of “large capacity” magazines to anyone in the state.

US vs Them and the 2024 Presidential Primary

Jeff Chidester, Mike Rogers, and I had our share of time to fill on radio row – with opinion, commentary, speculation, and observation. Events like the First in the Nation Primary are opportunities to leverage those debates, hopefully with people aspiring to run the country, but do they even know what the nation needs?

Take a Look at What’s Under GraniteGrok’s Tree for Our Readers …

Merry Christmas, and what did we just find under the tree? It looks like GraniteGrok is expanding a bit more across the Northeast. And why not? We regularly comment on the decline of the states around us. VermontGrok is doing well, with new content almost daily. Why not do the same for Maine?

Night Cap: The Economy and Our Freedoms Are Not To Be Abused, but That’s Exactly What Joe Biden Is Doing

This Green Wave led by Biden, Kerry, Yellen, and anyone else who has bent at the waist in front of Xi Jinping is not only about taking our beloved gas-driven vehicles from us but more about controlling us like a good Border Collie controls sheep.

Biden Loves The Power Of The Defense Production Act

Joe Biden loves the control he can wield when 65% of America thinks he is driving America further off course. If you cannot govern with a consensus, use the tools that allow you to control the masses. You may remember that Biden invoked the same act during the Pandemic to force masks onto our faces … Read more

The GOP Establishment Failed Again

The GOP lost another special election. It wasn’t just the candidate, it wasn’t Trump. It was the GOP establishment that lost the election. The Committee to Elect House Republicans (GOP in NH) created the candidate’s web page. The Issues section is so bland it could have been written about a Democrat.

The Histrionic Follies of Volcano Deniers

Many Americans who are receptive to the possibility that human activities are warming the globe may invoke the motto of the Show Me State when asking alarmists to share what is never shown – evidence.
