Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.

Data Point – COVID-19 Fatalities in NH by Age

WHY IS IT that when I listen to any of the other NH Media, the top category is 60+?  Why doesn’t, for instance, WMUR, split out 60s from 70s, from 80s, or older, in every night’s evening news? Micheal Graham shows a more complete picture; this is as of 4/27/2020: (H/T: Inside Sources) The updated … Read more

Even Darth Vader got it in the end

Is it time for us to make sure that petty micro-totalitarian politicians also receive their “political end”. I can’t go a single day, sometimes not even an hour, and see a Governor has done it, a County official has done it, or a local Mayor has done so.  Even bureaucrats, especially health officers, keep changing … Read more

A Bleg – I thought this was a great idea at the time

And I still think it is. However, ideas are good only if action is put behind them. So with us now in the middle of this Government Overreach Pandemic, here is the idea: We need to setup a clearinghouse of all these infringements into our Constitutional and Civil Rights. Then, after what should be a … Read more

Colorado Governor Jared Polis

What a condescending little person

Who happens to be the Governor of Colorado: The new safer-at-home order is in effect through at least May 27, meaning that Coloradans are expected to stay close to home past Memorial Day, the unofficial start of the summer and a popular weekend for camping and hiking. The fear is that visitors will either contract … Read more

Older than google

Palate Cleanser – Yes, I AM!

‘Course, they think I’m older than dirt already so it’s not much of a stretch. The Grandson?  No, he won’t believe it once he gets old enough to know what Google is. Now, bringing up AltaVista is a different conundrum for them all.  Do YOU remember it? And yes, I’m older than that… (H/T: Sad … Read more

Blogline of the Day – What’s the line about golden rain?

Licensing is when the government takes away your right to do something, and then sells it back to you (H/T: Tombstone Gabby) NH is one of the most heavily licensed States in the Union. Every time you turn around, it seems, that in order to earn a living, one must beseech and become a supplicant … Read more

Data Point – Saving rates by Americans WAY up

Americans are so nervous about the state of the economy that they are stashing cash in the bank at a rate not seen since the first year of Ronald Reagan’s presidency.
The United States government’s Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Thursday morning that the savings rate surged to 13.1% in March — up from 8% in February.

NH Vote-By-Mail Democrats would rather you forget about Wisconsin

All we are going to hear from the NH Democrat Party is yammering about how DARE we, not all do mail-in voting (er, don’t pay attention to that “ballot harvesting” technique behind the smoke and curtain). And how DARE you put people at risk for simply wanting to exercise their Constitutional Right to vote!

Notable Quote – Glenn Reynolds

Time is running out on the shutdowns whether Government likes it or not: IRISH DEMOCRACY: Something that can’t go on forever, won’t. The lockdown can’t go on forever, and it isn’t. In Tennessee, we’re following a reasonably well-thought-out plan for reopening things. But a friend from Manhattan writes that she’s seeing stores, coffee shops, etc., … Read more

Democrats on Coronavirus and jails FI

Random Thought: Democrats, Coronavirus, and Jail

At the point of being redundant, there’s a CATCH-22 problem here, right?  A lack of priorities, right? In Chicago, for example, they STILL have a large crime and murder rate, right?  Yet, in this age with this epidemic problem, why does it seem that things get so cross-wired as to simple be PAST absurd? A … Read more

secure the blessings of liberty

Notable Quote – Ian Underwood

Yep, Grokster Ian gets a two-fer Day today; this one “Why Liberty?” and gives a perfect answer: Every other organizing principle for society begins by denying this fundamental truth about humans:  You don’t know what’s best for me, and I don’t know what’s best for you.   And so every other organizing principle is doomed to the kind of failure that … Read more
