DISQUS Doodlings: So, the City of Toledo has declared that Lake Erie has “rights”?
I first saw this over at, naturally, Treehugger where all kinds of “just shake your head at it” stuff comes up. I predict this is going to be an awful thing and the only thing that will have “Rights” in the end will be the Lawyer Class (reformatted, emphasis mine): A triumphant win for Toledo residents … Read more
If Bill Weld is appealing to the NeverTrumper wing of the GOP…
…he may get it with this: Weld, in a statement, responded, “I am happy to tell her what millions of her own party are thinking. ‘This guy’ has been the most destructive and divisive president in the history of our nation. ‘This guy’ has demeaned Americans from every walk of life, including women, the disabled … Read more
Data Point – NH is #5 in Salary After Taxes.
At $67,625 per year (after taxes) for an average salary, that’s not too shabby. The problem is that when Democrats see this, they immediately say “WE are a rich State; we should spend it”. And there the fallacy lies – they immediately see only the collective, as if all that wealth belongs to said collective, State … Read more
BlogLine of the Day – Diamond and Silk at CPAC
When an illegal alien comes through that border illegally, the left advocates to help and support them. But when an American baby comes through the birth canal legally, the left is advocating to kill them.” -Diamond and Silk at CPAC 2019 I’m not even sure I can add anything of value to that – it … Read more
“The GraniteGrok Full Employment Act” – SB106
And this here in the “Live Free or Die” State – King Dan Feltes wants to put duct tape on your mouth. All three of these (enumerated below) Constitutional protections to your right to Free Speech in matters political are under attack in SB106 sponsored by NH State Senator Dan Feltes to protect himself (and … Read more
Will Gov Chris Sununu veto SB241?
Our standard of measure (an engineering term that Gov. Sununu should know well) here at GraniteGrok includes the NH Constitution. SB241 is yet another attempt to implement a 19th-century technology, a choo-choo train, for the benefit of a very few at the expense of very many. And of course, they are at it again with a … Read more
Notable Quote – former Deputy Assistant to the President, Sebastian Gorka
Gorka, speaking at the CPAC conference in National Harbor, Md., on Thursday, said the Democrats’ Green New Deal is: “a watermelon,” because it’s “green on the outside” and “deep, deep red communist on the inside. According to the amazing Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, they did a poll last year in which they found that 52 … Read more
Red Pens and Sununu Vetos
We had quite a bit of reaction to Tom’s post: The Red Pen Governor (reformatted): The liberty and freedom we’ve enjoyed in New Hampshire is under direct attack. And it’s the worst it has ever been. Fresh off their November election wins, Democrats fired up their campaign to restrict rights and grow government. And, unfortunately, they control the … Read more
“First month on the job”
Well, we did cover the NH GOP Convention where both a new Chair and Vice-Chair were chosen: Steve Stepanek and Pam Tucker. Did an interview with Steve at the end of that gathering and my take away was that things were going to be different. Given that I’m on most political email distros in the … Read more
Actually, more than ever, we need the Electoral College. And a recognition of something else
I ran across this post by Joshua Rabotnick over at PJ Media and at first I thought it was well written and worthy of one of those rare times where I just put up the entire post as it “speaks for itself” on its own without any commentary. However, as I read through it, even after … Read more
BlogLine of the Day – The Democrat Slippery Slope concerning babies
In just over a decade and a half, Democrats have gone from “safe, legal, and rare abortions” to “kill ’em all and don’t stop when they’re born.” Many of us warned that the first slogan would lead eventually to the second. We take no pleasure in our vindication. From US Senator Jeanne Shaheen (DS*-NH) overriding … Read more
I’m betting she’ll think twice (or more) about skipping school…
Heh! As I say all the time, decisions have consequences. This is a GOOD one! (H/T: Izismile)
The Law of Unintended Consequences states: “Well, what did you actually EXPECT to happen???”
Sure, a lot of the men that were targeted deserved to be targeted and they took the Perp Walk of Shame all saying they’d learn from this, grow from this, and go after the NRA as penitence (yeah, what else would you expect given that the guilty were Hollywood based. The Feminists, especially Third Wavers, … Read more

Notable Quote – Stephen Green
Emphasis mine: Here’s the thing about the Postmodern Left: They don’t give a damn about jobs, wages, or really even any particular government program or Green New Deal or Five-Year Plan, or whatever it is they’re peddling this week. They’re just cynically cashing in on the system they pretend to disparage and despise. (Actually, the … Read more
