This post is for ALL OF YOU THAT HAVEN’T RECEIVED YOUR PLACARDS YET!!!!!!
To be honest, we’ve been very surprised how many of you have wanted the above (folded, laminated, and a lanyard attached!). I’ve tried to get them out the door as fast as they came in…
But is it true? So, can you folks think of more of these? Name the job type and the animal that goes with it… (H/T: Powerline)
The greedy capitalists of the old shareholder model of corporate responsibility had one thing in common with their shareholders, namely, both were largely motivated in the same way. Management was incentivized to maximize profits, and investors invested so that those managers would do so. Under the new stakeholder dispensation, presumably management is to be concerned … Read more
When Obama came to Power, it got ridiculous. Having started GraniteGrok a couple of years before that, I had gotten used to from four to six “important” items of note to track and write about. And then, SWAMPED! It felt like I was in a ball with stuff incoming from all angles of the X,Y … Read more
As a Merrimack County GOP Committee member, who was credentialed to attend this fiasco, it went exactly like anyone with a brain would know it would go; and, the mere fact that out of the starting gate 50 people voted “multiple” times on a yes or no “monkey” survey, was when this meeting needed to adjourn.
The political principle that underlies the market mechanism is unanimity. In an ideal free market resting on private property, no individual can coerce any other, all cooperation is voluntary, all parties to such cooperation benefit or they need not participate…. The political principle that underlies the political mechanism is conformity. The individual must serve a … Read more
Welcome home and let whatever is rubbing the wrong way rip!
Here is an effective definition for the left’s use of the word “equity.” “It is a meritocracy, not based on your abilities, motivations, and work ethic but on suitability by skin color, sex, and ethnicity.
Somewhat like the DNC and a sizeable number in the US Legislature, the NH GOP denied my right to vote at the Jan. 23rd online meeting because of their own problems operating an online election.
I get folks emailing me from time to time with stories about using ‘Grok’s Mask Exemption placard, like this one. “Hi Skip, I went to Walmart, the door employee referred me to masks available inside, didn’t even try to hand me one, so I did not need to show the lanyard.”
He must be an engineer…I certainly can’t fault him at all as he did EXACTLY as he was told to do:

Wisconsin has the political will to tell their Gov. to stuff his Emergency Orders. Political Will – that’s what it takes. And a willingness to no longer allow the Chief Executive of the Executive to subvert their role in our republican form of Government (reformated, emphasis mine):
“we don’t have a misinformation problem, we have a trust problem.” (H/T: Axios)
We take shots at the Pravda on the Merrimack (Concord Monitor) and just like everyone else we thank them when they’re right. In an article in which both the headline and the lede gets it correct Ethan DeWitt nails it and properly confirms my title.
The racial effect of the minimum wage laws exist in the absence of racial preferences on behalf of employers. The minimum wage law gives firms effective economic incentive to seek to hire only the most productive employees, which means that firms are less willing to hire and/or train the least productive employee, which includes teenagers, … Read more
OK, the Tweet is a bit dated but it certainly sums up the sentiment of many. Have Biden and Sununu forgotten about our actual history, that we are the descendants of those that decided to spit in the face of authority? That we were the misfits of disconformity.
Got this Presser from the NH Dept of Education. Actually, I get a lot of them (don’t know if I get them all). At first blush I just went through it and then one word caught my eye: Equitable.
I hope that other elected Republicans see this and know that this is, in part, why they were elected – that Government doesn’t have to keep growing all the time: In November the people of Belknap county elected a 100% Republican delegation. The first harvest has come in early. With citizens facing the difficulties left … Read more
Sometimes, an insurgency is successful against an enemy by using the “Death by a Thousand Cuts.” And it is clear that Amazon Web Services services are the Borg with Parler as one notch in its gun belt. But do too many of us think “Too big to compete?”
