We get a ton of requests “Who should I vote for”; not just for GraniteGrok but pretty much all of the Groksters. We can’t answer all questions and we give out very few recommendations (this cycle, only two: Steve Negron (NH CD-2) and Karen Testerman (NH Governor). My choices, if it matters? None of these … Read more
Seriously, it might take a little bit to figure out where they are, first. Now, let’s see how many on the Left I’ve just triggered. No, not using my trigger finger, just using their own fears against them. After all, what side of the aisle are those burning down the Democrat cities right now? And we already … Read more
Here we have it. More proof. The Main Stream Media doing their job as Democrat Mouthpieces while ignoring actual news.
Rules for thee, not for…heck, I make them because I can. Seems to be the mantra of the pandemic by all sorts of “elites” with US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) showing us all how she doesn’t have to follow any rules because, well, she doesn’t. WHO is going to challenge her anyways, right. And if they do…
Yep, with ALL of the mud against the wall that the Left has been throwing against the wall since the outcome of 2016 election became known – “RUSSIAGATE DIDN’T WORK, IMPEACHMENT DIDN’T WORK, CRASHING THE ECONOMY DIDN’T WORK.
This was timely given the post I put up yesterday (“Here’s Why You Can’t Find Disinfectant Wipes at the Stores” and this as well). Yes, I know that I swore off Popular Science and I normally just delete the email, but this one had a non-political post that everyone could use given the scarcity of commercial wipes.
Sometimes I get a little pat on the back from one of the “managerial Elite” over at Treehugger. I’m generally the guy that is orthogonal to most of the folks there. Like Bruce Currie is here but with one big exception – I don’t disparage the information that is brought up and I don’t call them names.
Steve’s post on “ICE Scores Huge Win in the People’s Republic of Maskachusetts” caught my eye with this gem. “Don’t worry, A**achusetts Democrats are still going to fight this in the lower court. No price is too high (for you to pay) to ensure that there is no price too high for you to pay.”
I realize that this has been on my stack since mid-last-month and schools are already starting to open for the year but thanks to Teachers Unions parents aren’t all that happy with this new redefinition of education. Are any Republicans going to take advantage of that?
The federal government set records for the amount of money it spent and the size of the deficit it ran up in the first ten months of fiscal 2020 (October through July), according to data released today in the Monthly Treasury Statement.
Over the past hundred years, there have been more than two dozen attempts to build a socialist society. It has been tried in the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Albania, Poland, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, North Korea, Hungary, China, East Germany, Cuba, Tanzania, Benin, Laos, Algeria, South Yemen, Somalia, the Congo, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Mozambique, Angola, Nicaragua and … Read more
The Left says of the Right, “You fools, it is demonstrable that dinosaurs lived one hundred million years ago, I can prove it to you, how can you say the earth was created in 4000 BCE?”
Can’t find disinfectant wipes at the stores it is because they are going to be in short supply until 2021 or so. It’s our own version of the Soviet Union “scramble to buy stuff” (except this isn’t a product of Government planning, just tremendous consumer demand).
More video exclusive to GraniteGrok (becasue John Irish shot it for us) we have President Trump beginning his address to the crowd assembled outside a hanger at MHT (the designation for the Manchester airport).
OldNHMan decided to just about write a standalone post in the comments under my post on how central planning of an economy is FAR worse than millions of people making decentralized decisions on their own.
This is a sign of an over-active ego – of someone that believes they are God’s new savior to the masses. How COULD the great unwashed ever live their lives without ME? Or my benevolent ministrations on their behalf?
Getting the Government to mandate pricing may seem like a good thing in the present or short term but it crimps future activity later. Like this:
As most of you know, President Trump flew to Manchester, NH after the RNC convention this past Friday. John Irish – who owns and runs Analog:db (see his biz card at the bottom of the post) – offered to cover the Airport Rally for GraniteGrok.
WHY should someone be guilty of something that happened 75 years ago (or further back into antiquity)? Were they there to actually participate in what (in this instance) the “Woke” Left – in the persons of Black Lives Matter or in the persons of Social Justice Warriors – now considers sinful?
It is because a modern economy is so complex that nobody can know all the facts that it could not effectively be guided by a central plan but must be conducted on the basis of decentralization of decisions.
