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.

Democrats – “They have brought white women upon themselves”

So much for the vaunted Blue Wave.  Between DiFi, Schumer, Blumenthal, and “Spartacus” Cory Booker, there is now a real consequence to the slanderous way that the Democrat embedded MSM and Democrats in general handled the Kavanaugh confirmation processes.  Really, there is no other reason why except a reaction by we Normals to the Democrat … Read more

A different take on LGBT

Somehow, I don’t think the LGBTQRSTUV folks like the following definition of LGBT part of their acronym. Heh! (H/T: As seen on Facebook)

Trade War? Seems like Trump is winning by using tariffs like a scalpel

Mexico, Canada – it was Germany’s turn to be on the short end of Trump’s “Art of the Deal” and the EU throwing in the towel.  Remember, Trump has said he’d most want NO tariffs at all:

Trump VICTORY? EU may ABANDON tariffs on US cars after threats to German industry

The German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, Peter Altmaier, told Austrian public broadcaster ORF on Friday that Germany is willing to come to the table to ease trade tensions with the US. Mr Altmaier said: “We are ready to talk about low, equal duties on cars. “This would be the best solution for everyone.” Mr Altmaier’s surprise comments came after an EU trade ministers meeting in Innsbruck.

US duty on imports from the EU is only 2.5 percent, resulting in a trade deficit for the US.

Even though Republican Sen Murkowski was going to vote “No”, she didn’t – but not for the reason you think

The old technique is called “Pairing”:

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski announced that although she opposes Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation, she will be listed as ‘present’ in the final vote tomorrow so that Montana Senator Steve Daines can stay at his daughter’s wedding.  The announcement comes hours after [Republican Senator] Daines revealed he was willing to jet to Washington after walking his daughter down the aisle, in order to confirm Kavanaugh if needed. Thanks to Murkowski – a crucial Republican swing vote – he will no longer have to following her ‘agonizing and close call’ decision.

‘I will be a no today and a no tomorrow,’ she said during a press conference on the Senate floor on Friday evening. ‘I will, in the final tally, be asked to be recorded as present and I do this because a friend, a colleague of ours is in Montana this evening and … he’s going to be walking his daughter down the aisle and he won’t be present to vote. I have extended this as a courtesy to my friend. It will not change the outcome of the vote,’ she added.

Chris Sununu celebrates

Marsey’s Law: Gov. Chris Sununu, answer one question for us all

“I wanted that constitutional amendment. Well, the ACLU got involved and just crushed it. I wish other people stood up for it. I’m going to do it again. I knew it was a tough battle. I’m going to do it again. That’s OK.” -NH Gov. Chris Sununu Here’s the question, given that you want to … Read more

Quick Thought – seeking redress should not require police escorts for elected Representatives!

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

While TEA Party folks like myself did protest and assembled all over the country and in DC (and generally left the protest areas cleaner than they found it), while boisterous, we were peaceful.  The Left, seeking “redress”? Not so much:

Police escorts for senators after protesters swarm the Capitol ahead of Brett Kavanaugh confirmation vote

The impassioned fight over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court has led to heightened security at the Capitol, with some senators using police escorts to shield them from protesters. United States Capitol Police have arrested dozens of protesters in recent days and stepped up their presence in Capitol hallways. Some Republican senators have expressed unease over protesters who have confronted them at their Senate offices, restaurants, airports and even their homes.

A fisking of US Senator Jeff Flake on the SCOTUS hearings

Two fortunate things came together – I found the charging cord to my Zoom Q4 camera (literally handsized) and found out that it makes a great camera with which to yank off clips from the TV (DVR’d of course) and that US Senator Jeff Flake decided to show up at St Anselm’s Institute of Politics this past Monday Night.  Of course, WMUR just HAD (in their drift leftward) had to cover this “Conservative” who, they touted, derailed the confirmation of Brett Kavanuagh to the Supreme Court (even if just for a little mite of time).  Of course, Flake is all pleased with himself and he made that quite clear to all.  For not much at all, IMHO; let the fisking begin:

Oh, that picture and “who is that in that red circle?”.  Note to Jeff Flake:

Voting Enthusiasm Poll: A combo of “They have brought us upon themselves” and

The Law of Unintended Consequences with Obama’s (yes, he’s still a thing) “I won”?  US Senate Democrats (along with loose coordination with their allies in the MSM and Progressive organizations) have overplayed their hand with the absolutely disgusting tactics they have used against Judge Kavanaugh and other Conservatives (e.g., made up allegations that can’t be … Read more

When you keep pulling bricks out of the Wall that is Society…

Interesting article to puruse:

Obama’s Social Experiments Are Wreaking Havoc on America Today

Can you see where this is going?  When you upset and then throw away long term Society’s norms built up over hundreds of years for the sake of “PROGRESS!”, why should anyone be surprised? Sure, some wrongs have been righted but then Progressives just had to charge over the cliff wall and take all of the rest of us with them (abbreviated, emphasis mine).

While the Left’s advocacy on social issues and identity politics long predated Obama, the former president’s policies supercharged many of the issues dividing America in 2018. His administration helped launch the current liberal cultural wave that wreaks havoc on American politics — and extends far beyond politics. Here are five key ways Obama’s policies impacted American culture, beginning with #MeToo, sexual assault, and Brett Kavanaugh.

1. The sexual assault maelstrom.

It all started in 2011, when the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) under Obama’s Department of Education (DOE) issued a “Dear Colleague” letter reinterpreting Title IX of the 1972 Higher Education Act. The OCR letter encouraged colleges and universities to set up what Harvard Law professors Jacob Gerson and Jeannie Suk called a “sex bureaucracy.”…

Heh! Oh, Michael Graham? There is a difference between Steve and I!

Methinks he got the quote just a wee bit off in his post over at NH Journal. Grokster Kimberly passed on that he was looking for some quotes about the high and mighty RINO US Senator Jeff Flake (yes, aptly named) who recycled a speech at St. Anselm’s so I was quite happy to provide three quick sound bites:

Why would we vote for him when he just showed us that he is easily led by the nose by the Democrats? Is he one of those that decides based on who yelled at him last? And do we need to tote an elevator along with us if we wanted him to listen to us?

Michael got it just a bit off kilter:

Ford-Strozck: It’s that Democrat smirk that says

“Screw you”. It got Peter Strozck fired from the FBI for his attempt at “insurance” against Trump being voted in as President. Hopefully, Christina Ford’s will get Brett Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court. (H/T: Powerline)

Quick Thought – Did anyone else did a double take on this reporting?

Or even that Law Enforcement at any level is even talking this way (emphasis mine, reformatted)?? Cheshire County Sheriff candidates have different views on law enforcement KEENE — Which laws to follow and which laws to ignore are up for debate in the race for Cheshire County Sheriff, with incumbent Eli Rivera’s announced plans to … Read more

Candace Owens

Notable Quote – Candace Owens

“Attention black America: The last time a mob of white liberals demanded that we believe women without due process, our ancestors were hung from trees. Under no circumstances should we allow this radical feminism to persist,” – Candace Owens (conservative commentator, Communications Director at Turning Point USA) (H/T: Susan)

Conversation with ‘Grok – Jay Lucas and “American Sunshine” – Part 3
