There is no one, no one group or even “groups of groups” that could effectively handle the billions of economic decisions that are made daily (or even hourly) by the 320 million residents of America.

Data Point – Quick Thought: Voter Fraud Is Gong to Haunt Xiden for the Rest of His Life
Yep, not my President. And I have no problem in stating that – after all, the Democrats “The Resistance” have been yammering about this for the last four years. We’re just using your new Rules so get used to it.
Democrat NH State Rep Sherry Frost is a Short Memory’d Hypocrite
Did NH State Rep Sherry Frost forget a little detail? Like she was a sponsor of this bill last year? HOUSE BILL 1159-FN AN ACT relative to cyberbullying, cyberstalking, and doxxing of a public servant. SPONSORS: Rep. Diggs, Graf. 16; Rep. J. Schmidt, Hills. 28; Rep. W. Thomas, Hills. 21; Rep. Frost, Straf. 16; Rep. Altschiller, … Read more
“Nothing says ‘normal, legitimate election’ like a swearing-in behind 12 feet of razor wire”
President Asterisk will forever also be known as President Barbed Wire. Nice way to start his two-month term. And as Percy pointed out, even THOSE 25K troops aren’t trustworthy either. We truly are in Third World territory.
The Proper Response to President Asterisk’s Inauguration…
“The propaganda machine is a little backward here. For four years, media, celebrities and big tech have all spent time dissing our own America, directly or indirectly, criticizing our ideals, our President, banning those with opposing views from social platforms. America was never that great, they’d say.”
No, Union Leader Editorial Writer, It Is the Point. Entirely.
Back on Jan 3 (it seems SO long ago!), the Union Leader has an editorial titled “Wrong place to protest: Sununu’s home should be off-base.” They were kvetching that ordinary citizens shouldn’t be protesting NH Gov Chris Sununu’s Emergency Orders at his home.
Alan Glassman, You Pulled the “Trigger” on the Wrong Guy
Last Wednesday, I was asked if GraniteGrok would observe the voting within the Belknap County Republican Committee (BCRC). Because, according to the two separate folks who didn’t know the other had done so, they thought the voting would be “interesting.”
Frederick Douglass vs The 1619 Project
A free slave vs Black race-baiters: one from our history who believed in the Constitution as being for all people vs someone that would rewrite our history simply to advance a race-based fiction (to which she has now admitted to doing).
New Addition to the ‘Grok “Stealing Campaign Signs” Hall of Shame: “Not One of My Better Moments”
We’ve been waiting a while on some paperwork outlining the EXACT disposition of this case but, like the trial, it has been delayed. Thus, not wanting to delay “closure” any more, here is the end result: Guilty Plea by one James Babcock.
HB576 lives on as HB459!
Maybe NO will Finally Mean NO when it comes zeroing out General Ledger items in a budget prepared by a Budget Committee. As longer term readers know, I was on my hamlet’s BudComm for three – three year terms (see “Tales from the BudComm“) and I had discovered a technical flaw in the budget process … Read more
BlogLine of the Day – just like wars and homelessness, right?
NOW THEY TELL US: New study: Lockdowns didn’t stop the spread of COVID-19 after all. Post-inauguration, it will all go away, won’t it? It will all go away – just like the anti-war protests when Reagan left office and when Bush I and II left office. See the pattern here? Ditto when a new Republican President takes … Read more
Palate Cleanser – Blue Origin Lands Its Own Reusable Space Rocket and Capsule
While SpaceX has been sucking the PR oxygen out of the now commercial launch industry, Blue Origin has also been making strides. Popular Mechanics had the story on its New Shepard rocket (named after Alan Shepard, the first man into space and a New Hampshire native).
Friday Open Thread on Saturday Morning – Hey, at least I remembered this week!
An insurrection with no guns by the insurgents, Twitter, FB, Google, and the rest of Big Tech Silence Parler. And with fences and razer wire surrounding DC, is President Asterisk trying to prove that fences DO work? Spill your guts, talk about anything and anyone; just keep it lively but not quite over the top!
Because House Democrats Are Oh So Virtuous…
House Democrats were intently focused on curbing free speech on the house floor by condemning certain speech as “Hate Speech” [emphasis mine: No such thing]. Let’s forget just for a moment that it would not be constitutional in any manner, form, or way and roll with their premise.
Prediction: Do You Remember the Foolferall Around Y2K? Yeah, That…
I flew around the USA like a MAD man prior to 2000 AD as all of our customers were going WILD that all their systems would fail because the traditional way of encoding dates was MM/DD/YY instead of MM/DD/YYYY.
Data Point – Public sector vs Private Sector: SPACE! The Final Frontier!
MOVING AT THE SPEED OF GOVERNMENT: The Orion spacecraft is now 15 years old and has flown into space just once.
Congress has pumped $23.7 billion into Orion for that single flight.
Disturbing Notable Quote – “Seeing Half the Country Cheer THIS On.”
The topic is the censoring of Conservative Speech even on conservative platforms (as opposed to the Big Tech platforms like Facebook and Twitter – you know, the “Mean Girls”). Disturbing – yes. Unexpected? No. Why?
So Marco Rubio believes that “Hope” is attained by a $2,000 Government check????
Sigh – Heinlein’s “Crazy Years” was a fictional prop but can’t even BEGIN to match what we are going through right now. Seriously, the American People’s lack of “hope” can be assuaged by a BidenCheck (hey, we had ObamaPhones, so let the belittling of the new Not My President begin!) to the tune of $2,000 … Read more
Sometimes We Get Surprising Things Back From the Daily ‘Grok Eblasts
The vast majority of ‘returns’ from our daily email blast are of the “Out of the Office for vacation or travel” types. Routine to be sure, but they give me a bit of insight into who actually wants to either read or monitor our content. This, however, was a bit out of the ordinary and certainly not expected.
