Actually, there are prequel posts to write about this that will be rather “reflective” and will demonstrate why I keep saying that Progressives want to silence people while I want them to keep “talking, and talking, and talking some more.”

Data Point – so V shaped Recovery it is!
Well, at least it is starting to look that way: June private payrolls rose 2.37 million and there was a big positive revision for May, ADP says. “For the month, hiring was especially strong in the pivotal leisure and hospitality industry, which took the biggest hit as measures aimed at curbing the coronavirus spread meant shutting … Read more
Notable Quote
Emphasis mine: The Internet is having a bit of fun with Rand Paul’s claim during a Tuesday Senate committee hearing that “We shouldn’t presume that a group of experts somehow knows what’s best” (here’s Tommy Beer with more). After all, they’re the experts. Shouldn’t we get out of the way and do as the experts tell … Read more
New addition to the ‘Grok “Stealing Campaign Signs” Hall of Shame: Jim Babcock of Gilford – Part 5
So, to recap (again): Norm Silber (Grokster, retired Lawyer, former NH State Rep) signed up to run for the NH House again He planted a campaign sign on the corner of Salt Marsh Pond Road and Gilford Ave on public land Jim Babcock was seen stopping his pickup truck to throw Norm’s sign into his … Read more
Blogline of the Day – I haven’t read enough this morning; THIS is the best line of the day
Thanks to Grokster Steve: ….but professional TransDemocrat Jennifer Horn (presenting as a Democrat but registered as a Republican) NICE “turn of word” – TransDemocrat. She doesn’t have the decency to register as a Dem to be intellectually honest. “Honest” – does she even know the meaning of the word? Or what “Intellectually Honest”, either? But … Read more
So the National Democrat Party believes July 4th = White Supremacy Day?
The Democrats, disguised as Black Lives Matter and other disgruntled rich white kids without a sense of American history and those who just like to destroy other peoples stuff (but I repeat myself), have finally decided to be really open as to what they really think. First, it was just about Confederate soldier statues. Then … Read more
Blogline of the Day – First they’ve gotten History wrong, gotten morality wrong…
The Black Lives Matter movement highlights the horrors of the past but is blind to the horrors of the present Human history is replete with lots of horrors and many are not all that long ago no matter how hard Progressives think or say they can “evolve” the rest of us to be in their … Read more
Don’t go to the Selectmen – that would tie the Chief of Police’s hands
I’m sorry – this is NOT how local Government works. Both TMEW and I were sitting on the couch and she went “WHAT!” which immediately caught my attention. She started to read this from the Gilford Steamer article. I’ve reformatted it with some emphasis by me:
And now we’re back to the Scott Dunn Monument to Economic Illiteracy (otherwise known as the Gilford Recycling Center) – Part 2
Well, I’m not letting the speed of return responses from my Right To Know requests get the better of me yet although I AM pleased that they aren’t being slow rolled. To recap, what I asked for: Revenues to date for this fiscal year (GL account line item for the last budget process: 01-3404-917) Fees … Read more
DESSA, Social Sentinel – RSA 91-A Right To Know demand – student and personal data – Part 2
This was a more lengthy Right To Know I sent to SAU 73 Superintendent Kirk Beitler than what I sent to our Town Clerk / Tax Collector (and modeled after Grokster Ann Marie’s one to SAU 16 Superintendent David Ryan). And answer he did.
OK, now we have the last RSA 91-A Right To Know demand of the day – Same Day Voter Registration – Part 3
In response to getting her email back, I had this: From: Skip <Skip@granitegrok.com> Sent: Friday, June 26, 2020 11:07 AM To: Danielle Lafond <dlafond@gilfordnh.org> Subject: Re: 91-A Right to Know Hi Danielle, Please, call me Skip and not Mr. Murphy. That makes me feel older than when I look at the ongoing color change of … Read more
Blogline of the Day – Giving the Babylon Bee a Run for its Money
Satire is starting to be a losing gig – the events of the day are often “worse” or at least outdo anything that the Babylon Bee or The Onion (two widely known satire sites dealing with politics and culture). Don’t think that either one of them can beat this.
RSA 91:a Right to Know demand – relative to obeying State Statute on SB2 Budget Committees – Part 2
I had previously issued a number of Right To Know demands of Gilford’s Budget Committee, Selectmen, Town Clerk/Tax Collector, and School Board. Surprisingly, I have heard from all of them and all within the five business day requirement. Nice. First one up is the one I sent to the BudComm Chair as I hadn’t seen … Read more
“Those who erase history have no past – and no future.”
Over at Weekend Pundit, DCE has a proper observation of the NOW in politics (emphasis mine): Seeing the increasing attack upon history by overly-sensitive know-nothings, I am dismayed at the level of ignorance being displayed by those wishing to erase history. They have been convinced that 17th, 18th, 19th, and early/mid 20th century historical figures must be … Read more
Data Point – US Daily Deaths, 7 Day Average (Wu Flu)
Once again, the U.S. is undergoing a media-driven COVID-19 scare after a “spike” in infections. But as we noted earlier this week, the number of cases depends on the amount of testing. The key gauge to watch is deaths. They’ve been falling since April, and there’s strong reason to believe they’re lower than the official … Read more
Why can’t people just leave other peoples’ property alone? Especially the Post Office?
I’ve been documenting our small case of campaign sign stealing – Jim Babcock of Gilford told the Gilford Police Dept that he took Grokster Norm’s campaign sign out of anger (but lied to Norm’s face in saying that he didn’t know why). As I have said for years, if it is happening in our town, … Read more
Blogline of the Day – Things are not always what you see on TV
BUT THE OTHER 70% HAVE BEEN BULLIED INTO KEEPING THEIR MOUTHS SHUT: Just 30% Say Black Lives Matter More Than All Lives. Mostly, I think, because the “tolerant” Left doesn’t tolerate ANY dissent to any issue that gives them more Power. Make no mistake – if Black Lives Mattered, they throw Planned Parenthood out of their … Read more
Notable Quote – ITXU DÍAZ
To be a conservative is to wake up every morning to a new insult. It makes life more fun. I never know exactly what I am until I open up Twitter every morning. I can be a reactionary vermin, an ignorant caveman, an ultra-Catholic primate, or a neoliberal scorpion.
Appeasement, “tail between your legs”, and begging is JUST the look for Democrat Mayor Frey
Jacob Frey is the Mayor of Minneapolis. The city that decided to go for Mogadishu (Somalia) Gold right after one of his officers allegedly killed George Floyd by kneeling on his neck. He’s starting to make Prince “locked in Meghan’s testicle lockbox” Harry look surprisingly manly.
Quick Thought – I blame the NH School Board Association of NH for SAU 16 Sup. Ryan’s attitude
So, on full display for EVERYONE, is the now general attitude by Government officials – in this case, an employee – towards Citizens. In this case, a very HAUGHTY ‘tude by Superintendent David Ryan of SAU16 in response to Ann Marie’s Right to Know demand via RSA 91-a: NH RSA 91-A requires public organizations to … Read more
