Gee, Is This How Hudson Selectmen Treat Their Constituents? Er, update

May 25, 2021 Skip

Yesterday, I shared a Right To Know (“RTK”) demand to see the minutes of a non-public session. Seems like they decided to disobey the law (RSA 91:A) and not provide the “responsive records” that would satisfy the demand.

UPDATE: Since I started this yesterday, there’s been an update – the non-public minutes have been forwarded. Note, however, how BRIEF they are compared to the public session minutes. See at the end of this post. And noticed that the embarrassed one refused to sign the non-public session notes.

This is a continuation of a series taking the adaption of Christopher Rufo’s speech at Hillsdale College on Critical Race Theory. This post is about how Critical Race Theory, in part, is being used to indoctrinate YOUR children.

Socialists Just Don’t Understand “Spontaneous Order”

May 25, 2021 Skip

Bernie-Bro-Socialists continue to believe that a single person, or a cabal of such minded people, has the talent and wherewithal to control an entire nation’s economy. Easy – peasy, they say, with never a look back over their “History shoulder” to be abused of that notion.

NH Citizens Are Demanding Accountability – This Time, in Hudson

May 24, 2021 Skip

People are demanding more from their Government(s). No, not the “Gimme” groupies whose raison d’etre in life is to persuade more Government officials (elected, appointed, or employees) that they deserve more free stuff by obligating others to provide that free stuff.

If The Left Thinks We’re “Dog Whistle” People – Isn’t that Bullying?

May 24, 2021 Skip

I’m on all kinds of Left-wing, Democrat, Progressive, and Socialist email lists. A lot of times, however, people send me (and Steve) stuff as well. A LOT of stuff. We both apologize if not being able to share all of (or most of it) but we DO take note.

Palate Cleanser – Go Ahead; You Know You’re Going To Try it!

I admit, I only got to 7 and a half …but then again, I’m old and decrepit (and very sedentary in my mid- 60s).

It Really Is about Them (Progressives) and Not the Rest of Us.

May 24, 2021May 24, 2021 Skip

When the topic comes up that “We all have to change” to “save” all sorts of things that are important to Progressives, it really IS about them and not the rest of us.

Data Point – “White male liberals are indeed girly-men”

Well, it turns out that (surprised?) that white, male, liberals, really are girly men. And get this – they proclaimed this themselves!

I Heard Back from the Hanover School District – But Not from Janice “I’m Interrupting You” Starkey

May 23, 2021 Skip

After hurling her invective (“I’m interrupting you. You are not allowed to talk. People like you that have views like you are not allowed to do what you’re doing, I’ve been trained to interrupt you.“) at Daniel Richards, I posted my lament – that I had failed to reach Janice Starkey herself.

Er, Best Buy Not there Yet on Masks – But I Made a Snowflake Melt

May 23, 2021 Skip

Yep, in contradiction to Steve’s post “Target, Macy’s, CVS, Home Depot, Starbucks, and Best Buy *Drop Mask Mandates” from a couple of days ago, I can tell you that the Best Buy in Concord, NH still has it’s Mask On operation in almost full-blown mode.

Janice Starkey, Hanover School District Financial Assistant

Why Can’t I Get A Hold of Janice “I’ve Been Trained to Interrupt You “Starkey?

May 22, 2021 Skip

It has been two weeks since I wrote “CRT: If School District Staff Have Been Trained to Interrupt Parents Who Trained Them and Who Paid For That?” about Janice Starkey and her outburst to a parent who simply expressed support for HB544 during the call.

Friday Open Thread – Pipelines for Putin but not for US, Disrespecting the Coasties, Refugees to Red States, and Blithering onward

Is there anything that Biden won’t do – except string a coherent sentence together? Anyways, I’ll shut up because it is time for you folks to shout out. This thread is yours – make it like no others!

Data Point – The Left is Ticked That 2A Supporters Are Using Same Technique

May 20, 2021 Skip

The Left decided that laws about illegal aliens and illegal immigrants were to be ignored in order to be “welcoming”. Well, we on the Right can do the same thing: The mainstream media has missed one of the biggest trend stories ever – the massive surge in Second Amendment sanctuaries at the state, county and … Read more

Blogging can be Very Amusing: More Hate Email, Right Ken Pataska?

May 20, 2021 Skip

I have always told GraniteGrok writers that they are free to write about anything that amuses them even if it isn’t on our main topics of Politics and Political Culture. Sometimes, “hateful” emails turn out to be very amusing (but then again, I’ve been known to have a strange sense of humor).

School Board Policy Codifies Lying to Parents – Superintendent’s Response is Sheer Laziness

May 20, 2021May 20, 2021 Skip

I had kicked off yet another Right to Know (RSA 91:A) demand to my School Board to have them show me where they get the authority to lie to students’ Parents by either commission or omission (telling an untruth or leaving out the truthful bits).

Promoted from the Comments – The Proper Role of Government

May 20, 2021 Skip

And once again, I get the chance to blame our Educational system – mostly because it is well deserved. Go ahead and ask any teacher what it is and I’m betting they won’t give you the proper answer.

So, Sununu goes along with Sasse’s Stupid Idea about Unemployment “Incentives”?

May 20, 2021 Skip

US Senator Ben Sasse (“Stupid Idea: “Sasse Introduces Legislation to Convert Boosted Unemployment Benefits to ‘Signing Bonus’ “) is all over about turning the current Federal $300 weekly unemployment bonus into a “signing bonus” if those on the public dole got a job (as opposed to just doing the Funcation deal as that (and the … Read more
