I’ve written about this before: I see nothing wrong with Mike Pence trying to make sure that nothing untoward ever happens during his marriage. He pledged himself to his wife. Why is eliminating all “points of failure” bizarre?

A Generous Man
1) In 1986 a farmer, Lenard Hill, took his own life on the morning his farm was to go to a courthouse auction, believing that his life insurance would pay enough to save the cotton and soybean plantation that had been in his family for more than 100 years.
Trump Vows Immediate $1,200 Check To Americans If Speaker Moves Bill – ‘Are You Listening, Nancy?’
FIRST, we are, for the first time, $27 Trillion in debt as a nation. We are broke, broker, brokest. WHY are we sending out more money? WHY is ANYONE sending out even more money that we don’t have?
BlogQuestion of the Day – Setting the Stage for Third World Behaviors?
BLM and Antifa rioters recognize that elected Representatives in the Democrat cities are allowing their behaviors. They are ordering police forces to stand down from enforcing the law. Castigating their own employees for protecting themselves and those around them.
Notable Quote – Because Nothing Says Envy Like Socialism
Most Socialists are unhappy with their status in life and have resorted to blaming everyone else. ESPECIALLY those richer than themselves. Especially so when they finally figure out (and that’s not a given) that making other decisions throughout their lives would have been more optimal.
Blogline of the Day – Chris Wallace, Emasculated
Yes, the insufferable, arrogant and condescending guardian of the DC swamp gates is once again pearl-clutching, after being exposed as the insufferable leftist hack he is by the sunlight that is our president.
2020 Vice-Presidential Debate – Follow us on GAB
For the first Presidential Debate, I tweeted out at our Twitter account. Tonite (starts at 9pm tonite), I’m switching to Gab and covering the debate between VP Mike Pence and candidate Kamala Harris. Quick retorts, observations, pithy sayings and all of them liberally seasoned with snark. Note: We’ve had a long time Page on Gab … Read more
A Tipping Point – Teachers Pushing Parents to Homeschool…
As a former local Budget Committee member, I can tell you that the phrase “it’s for the children” is a complete lie – it’s really for the adults in the teachers union.”
“Have it Your Way”: The WuFlu Safety Kabuki Theater at Burger King (and Everywhere Else)
TMEW, the Grandson, and I had to go run a bunch of errands yesterday (and pretty much all day). And at the end, TMEW and I looked at each other: “yep, fast food.” It was, again, getting late and neither of us wanted to wait for food to cook at home. So, we picked up Burger King.
Busybodies Prepared to Ruin Snacktime to SAVE THE PLANET!!!
Everything must be as the eco-Socialists tell it us should be. No stone unturned and no packaging untouched. Absolutely every nook and cranny of your lives need to be turned upside down until you bow on bended knee before the Altar of GAIA in our quest for perfections according to us.
GrandFamilies Study Commission: a Bleg to our ‘Grok friends in the NH Legislature
As folks know, I was the NH Dept of Education Liaison to the HB131 Senate Study Commission for GrandFamilies. The Commission was tasked to find out what the needs were of Grandparents who suddenly found out that they now had parenting responsibilities once again after, perhaps, years of being empty nesters.
Never-Trumper Lincoln Project Loon Jennifer Horn Tweets – PRO LIFE! VOTE BIDEN!
Is there nothing Never-Trumper, Lincoln Project, and General Loon Jennifer Horn won’t say to get that next dollar on the string? I do wonder if the ‘Leaders” who are basking in the millions of Lefty billionaire bankrolling these turncoat nitwits are having her do this just to make sport of her.
Did Joe Biden Just Have His “Basket of Deplorables” Moment!?
You’d have thought that Democrats running for high office would mind their words a bit more so as to not alienate potential voters in the middle. Maybe they can’t help themselves.
For All of You That Have Raised Attention Deficit Kids…
If you have raised kids with ADHD, I know what you’ve been through. I raised two boys with it and yes, I paid for the hours-long medical testing instead of “taking somebody’s word for it. Once puberty hit, it did turn out to be sheer H-E-double hockey sticks.
I Guess This Might Explain Trying to Debate With Bernie-Bros
At least he shows up, and once in a while, there is agreement. But just like in my latest argument with him over “Whose money is it” (e.g., Socialists seem to believe that ALL the money belongs to Government, right Bruce?), there’s nothing there from the other side.
They Purposely Misrepresent Your Point, and Fact-Check Their Misrepresentation
Both Facebook and Twitter do have us in their sights – and our traffic has taken hits because of that as they have throttled us. No matter, I’ve always maintained that I don’t write for the hits (although I’m happy to see them). I write about what either amuses or concerns me.
Facebook Doodlings: I Have Feeling Future SCOTUS Meme’s Will be Ruthless…
I always like a good turn of phrase even if, at times, it is pointed at me. Clever is clever and others doing the nice wordsmithing work is fun to see. The Internet has given a lot of people a new avenue for either a pointed message or hilarious ones. Bring’em on!
“Take Care of Me!” Is an Expectation That Is Quickly Turning Into a Demand”
Many conservatives are nostalgic for a time when personal responsibility, self-sufficiency, hard work, Free Speech, Freedom of Religion, and a whole host of things formerly “American values” were valued.
New Feature – Open Thread
A couple of commenters said that they enjoyed participating in Open Threads when they visit other sites and wondered by we at GraniteGrok never offered one. Er, because we never thought of having one? A lot of our comment threads end up almost being such (“a VERY light hand” – Mgt), so we didn’t think … Read more
Notable Quote – “…of the Progressive Era were its greatest failures”
[Progressives of the 1930s] were determined that their vision of the managed economy should take precedence in all areas of life. Although they purported to have great sophistication on economic and social matters, their understanding of those matters was primitive, and their disdain for the evident signs of social improvement colored their vision of the … Read more
