2020 Electoral Results – President, NH State Wide, and other races that amuse me.

November 4, 2020November 4, 2020 Skip

UPDATE (Wednesday 7:36am): A few numbers have changed but not real “change” in the outcomes – yet. More later. The real question, though, is how long I can stay up because some of these are going to go real late. There’s a good possibility that the US President race won’t be decided for days. I’ll … Read more

A Bit Optimistic but These Polling Data Bits Should Be Seen

November 4, 2020November 3, 2020 Skip

Based on 2016, I’m not sure ANYONE knows, really, what is going to happen today, tonite, and for the next couple of weeks. I’ve seen a number of posts where the vote-by-mail ballots have been tossed or incorrectly sent out.

Blogquestion of the Day: What Is Your Guess for the Electoral College Results?

November 3, 2020 Skip

I love it that the Electoral College is one of the stunning achievements of our Founding Fathers in that it reinforces the philosophy of Federalism.

Quick Thought: Just Remember What the Democrats’ New Definition of “Voter Suppression” Is!

November 3, 2020 Skip

NOTE: While it may well be too late for most voters who HAVE voted by mail, New Hampshire is 1 of the only 8 States that allow you a “re-do”:

Notable Quote – Does Presidential POLICY matter over Presidential Character?

November 3, 2020 Skip

Never Trumpers like Steve Duprey, Tom Rath, Gordon Humphrey, and other Establishment NH GOP “Luminaries” believe so. I think they have their heads up their asses while submerged in a pit of mud, but that’s me. Talk is cheap; they only are looking at Style over Substance – they didn’t mind getting their heads kicked … Read more

Let’s See How This Prediction From the Cook Political Report Holds up for NH?

November 3, 2020November 3, 2020 Skip

NH Journal quotes the Cook Political Report as saying that while Sununu will retain the Governorship, the Senate and House have gone from Toss Up to Lean Democrat (they obviously already have substantial majorities in both). NHJ also has the UNH Survey which shows a different picture (literally):

Poll: Trump Wins NH 47% to 43%

November 3, 2020 Skip

Again, polls. Again, 2016/2020. Again, grains of salts. Again, people are TIRED of pollsters and Trump supporters won’t talk to them. Like me – unlike all previous years, I refused to answer a single poll phone call. As soon as I hear that it is a “survey”, it’s a click from me.

Remember How Nancy Pelosi Was Yammering That the Newly Elected Senate Should Fill the “RBG” Seat?

November 3, 2020November 3, 2020 Skip

Yes, she was! Pelosi was all over that since the 2020 election had already started and that millions had already voted (gosh, I wonder why – oh, because Dems have been elongating Election Day to be Election Season and vote-by-mail! How convenient!).

Does Going from the Basement to the White House Make Sense?

So, What Starts Happening November 4th? It’s Already Not Looking Good.

November 2, 2020 Skip

The Left (with Democrat elected politicians running cover for their brownshirts – Antifa and Black Lives Matter) has been in training all summer long in the large Democrat “owned” cities, notably Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, San Diego, NYC; the list just keeps going on and one.

Is America Going to Let the Party of Riots, Re-Education Camps, Coups, Intolerance and Segregation Win the White House Tuesday?”

November 2, 2020 Skip

We don’t know and I think anyone that is saying they do is either outright lying or extremely befuddled. The work is all but done except for the GOTV (Get Out The Vote) efforts. Sure, candidates are still making the rounds or rallies but if they haven’t made the sale by today, tomorrow is just a formality.

Quick Thought: If Even CBS Is Saying It…

November 2, 2020November 1, 2020 Skip

If CBS is saying it, do ya think something is starting to drive them nuts? Or, do you think this might be a disinformation ploy?

Quick Thought: Of Course, He’s Donald Trump

November 2, 2020November 1, 2020 Skip

While Biden is just barely more than walking these last two days, Trump is like a whirling dervish making the most of the time he has. He held a rally in Butler, PA – in fracking country; jumping on Sleepy Joe and Commie Kamala’s promises to ban fracking (and kill off all those jobs).

Friday Open Thread (on Saturday!) – Elections next week; are you prepared?

December 4, 2020October 31, 2020 Skip

Conversation starter: Decisions have consequences – are you planning on making consequences for the other side? The Left has been making LOTS of noise about demonstrating – or more (Shut Down DC Targets Conservative Organizations as ‘Trump Boosters’). I’ve heard a number of reports that NH based police stations have been surveilled by black bloc … Read more

Has Mailchimp Gone to the Identity Politics Dark Side?

October 31, 2020 Skip

I have an important ask for you all at the bottom of this post. But to get there from here we need to ask and answer the question, what is a MailChimp and what does it mean for GraniteGrok?

Blogline of the Day – How Much Worse Will the Left’s Violence Become if They Win on Tuesday’s Elections?

October 31, 2020 Skip

QUESTION ASKED: “If the left is willing to violently beat supporters of Donald Trump in a public setting when they don’t have power, how emboldened do you think they will be with the knowledge that the executive power to enforce the laws is in the hands of their allies?”

Notable Quote – Politics Does Sure Bring Everything Else Down

October 30, 2020 Skip

As a card-carrying founder of the Just Leave Me Alone Coalition, I blame Progressives that believe they are Society’s equivalent of the elementary school “teacher’s pet” kid that feels self-righteous, bossing everyone else around.

Data Point – It is a V shaped recovery! CNN calls it “incomplete”

October 30, 2020October 29, 2020 Skip

CNN just WISHES that the Biden-Obama years long recovery had looked like that. Of COURSE it’s “incomplete” but of COURSE, it’s like a rocket at liftoff (at least right now). What else would you think that the Never-Trumpers at CNN would say? Frankly, I am astounded that it is rising as fast as it is, … Read more

“The Best is yet to Come!”

November 4, 2020October 29, 2020 Skip

Passed on to my by a friend: This is one of the best political ads by any political party that I have ever seen. Note: the ad states that this campaign ad is being banned by Facebook. That is true. But it is also true that Facebook has banned all political and issue ads one … Read more

Palate Cleanser – and I Remember Dropping Trays of These

Even in the early 70s, secondary magnetic memory was rather expensive. At the BU Academic Computing Center where I was a student operator and teaching assistant, disk packs held 5MB 10 disks on a single spindle.

“The Left Is the Woman Who Wants to Have an Affair But…”

October 28, 2020 Skip

Just saw these four tweets over at Instapundit and it did make me think: Purpose, motivation, covering their tracks, scapegoat, self-declared victimhood, hatred, Individual agency, immorality of Mobs – and a political Bible (and rejection thereof).
