So, one of the complaints that was issued by a parent at the last School Board Meeting was that this new transgender policy was just SPRUNG on parents; noticed during the last week of August when many could have been out of town and little time to get the word out.

Gilford School Board – Public Comment session(s) testimonies – Part 3
And the last of the video clips from the latest Gilford School Board: Part 7: Part 8: Part 9: During this whole meeting I kept thinking one thing: Does the School Board even know that Gilford sports coaches have approached me on this topic? Do they know that the Normal public sees this as being … Read more
Save the Eagle Eggs? Yes! Save innocent Unborn Babies? Not so much
The Left is always predictable – all about “saving” things that fit in “nature” – but not just babies. Babies from other species – you bet that they need protection. Your future brother? Sister? Cousin? Friend? Expendable. As Brietbart observed, politics is downstream from culture and The Left has definitely screwed up our culture to … Read more
Just a variant of why we watch NASCAR?
We don’t want anyone to get hurt but the high speed, highly packed bunched up multi-car crashes on a corner are AWESOME! By comparison, this is a consequence waiting to happen from a bunch of bad decisions. Like letting Democrats represent govern rule the country. (H/T: Powerline)
2019 Annual Cheshire County Republican Shoot – Embracing and Celebrating Freedom!
Steve and I spoke at the DAGOP (Dublin Area GOP Committee) last week and being the Second Amendment “gun-toting” blogsite that we are, when I heard that they’d be doing a gun competition, I said we’d put up the announcement for it!
Gilford School Board – Public Comment session(s) testimonies – Part 2
There is a reason why we are starting to roll out MicroGroks. The Gilford Steamer (the weekly that covers Gilford) is ignoring the transgender policy, rammed through by the School Board BEFORE the authorizing legislation (SB263) has taken force.
Does anyone recall how well the Union Leader covered the last…
…Republican convention? No, either do I. Complete blank. But I counted 29 posts on yesterday’s Democrat Convention. Yes, lots of pics of the “Notables” (being elected officials) but still. I do ask: what would the UL under the Loebs have done in covering it? I think that the underlying philosophy would have been much different. There … Read more
Another victim of the Clintons??
They keep saying that this meme isn’t true, but why haven’t the Clintons disappeared yet? (H/T: Powerline)
Government Official Debra Altschiller is attempting to censor a Normal citizen? Part 2 – Accountability
Remember, Debra Altschiller isn’t just a NH State Rep; her husband, Howard, is the Editor of the Seacoast Media Group (e.g., The Portsmouth Herald, The Exeter News-Letter, The Hampton Union, York County Coast Star, and the The York Weekly). His business DEPENDS on the First Amendment clauses of Free Speech and Freedom of the Press. … Read more
Gilford School Board – Public Comment session(s) testimonies
So a thought – if grown men (and yes, some senior boys are, indeed, grown men of legal age) can go into the girls bathroom, how does the public law on indecent exposure now work? The Gilford School Board is now saying that it no longer applies to its bathrooms and locker rooms. What are … Read more
NH State Rep Jan Schmidt – the mind logic of a Socialist? “Extortion”?
“Extortion?” To recap: Some started up a Facebook page consisting of just quoting Nashua Alderman and NH State Rep Jan Schmidt’s own words NH State Rep Jan Schmidt’s daughter, Heather Day, issues what seemed to be a threat against the admin of the “Musings of Alderman Jan” simply for quoting her mother’s words Grokster Kimberly … Read more
So About That DEMAND NH State Rep Jan Schmidt Issued?
The DEMAND was that we take down the image of her daughter who had threatened a Conservative on Facebook (and either Facebook agreed and took it down or was deleted as it did seem like an imminent threat – as in END THIS WOMAN”):
GraniteGrok to be Silenced?
From our hosting company: “We have received an email similar to the one you are describing which we are currently evaluating.” Yes, the Progressive Democrats are trying to shut us down.
Nashua GOP SteakOut – Steve Negron and Dick Hinch
Next in line to speak at the Nashua GOP’s Annual SteakOut was a candidate for US Congress in NH’s Second CD, Steve Negron. He’s everywhere we go, it seems: Pssst: (whispering) It’s almost as if he’s following us! And the last speaker of the evening was NH House Republican Leader, Dick Hinch: Sadly, because of … Read more
Nashua GOP SteakOut – Victoria Sullivan, candidate for Manchester Mayor
Next we have Victoria Sullivan, candidate for Manchester Mayor. And did I say that GraniteGrok has endorsed her in this run for Mayor of Manchester? Well, consider it done!
Nashua GOP SteakOut – Intro Ceremonies and Corky Messner
Almost all GOP meetings start with a few words for opening remarks, an Invocation prayer, and the Pledge of Allegiance. Normally, the national anthem is sung but not this time at the Nashua GOP Committee’s Annual SteakOut.
Nashua GOP SteakOut – more MicroInterviews
As always, only a couple of question for each that is willing for me to drag them off to a more quiet area to get their responses. Most are always happy (ok, perhaps “not glum” – heh!) to oblige. So here are three NH State Reps that I crept up on and they knew immediately … Read more
A Study in Contrast: Heartfelt apology vs “EXTORTION!” NH State Rep Jan Schmidt does not disappoint
On one hand we have someone that returned to offer a heartfelt apology; it wasn’t asked for, nor sought out. And it was offered to those directly affected. It didn’t have to be offered – but it was. Nothing was asked for in return – it was a gracious exchange. And on the other hand, … Read more
UPDATE: Karen Costura-Hoffman: A perfect example that apologies are good for the soul.
…That being said, instead of maturely offering my perspective on why I felt the way I did, I hurled some rather distasteful insults toward those who happened to disagree with me, including Skip. I apologize to him and to anyone else I upset. UPDATE: Karen sent in her apology – it is below in full. … Read more
