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.

Notable Quote – Tony Palmer

However, that dichotomy – of state regulation or no regulation – is a false dichotomy. There are other alternatives. Historical research shows that regulation does not always require codified, uniform, and exhaustive written rules. (Such exhaustiveness is theoretically impossible, in any case.) Nor are we limited to a choice between rules created by Hobbes’s Leviathan … Read more

Whining like a little child…

Like I’ve said in the past – no intellectual honesty and their only standard is a double one. (H/T: Powerline)

Notable Quote – Kevin Williamson

During the Citizens United arguments, Justice Samuel Alito asked Malcolm Stewart, the deputy solicitor general defending the government’s censorship, whether the law would empower Congress to ban books. Stewart affirmed that books too must be subject to “electioneering communication restrictions.” And thus do our so-called liberals become book-burners. That may be of some interest to … Read more

Trust me, it doesn’t matter if Trump won’t “accept” the election outcome

does_it_matter_to_youI keep looking in wonderment at all the angst of the Left when Chris Wallace of Fox asked Trump if he’d accept the the result of November’s election and he wouldn’t answer.  My gosh, you’da thunk that he already hit the Big Red Button.  To quote Hillary, at least in 2.5 weeks from now, “What difference does it make now?”.

Sure, he can litigate it if there are rampant stories of voter fraud (which does exist) or other malfeasance and I think he should and I bet that’s what he meant.  But that’s not the point.  So what if The Donald boards Trump One, atweeting away at Flash speed?  So what if he continues to call into every radio show / TV show of record?

It won’t stop

Rigged, he said – rigged?

voter checklist - legalized vote fraud in NHOf course there is voter fraud – Ed Naile has been hunting those that would steal lawful votes for years.  And even though he has “binders of voters” and has submitted his evidence for years, the Fusion Party apparatchiks (aka, Democrat Progressives and Republican Establishment) in all the right places just gave him their collective condescending pat on the head – and ignored it.  That is, until the guy that’s making a lot of headlines made a bunch of them look rather silly and stupid (my, wasn’t that the greatest, seeing those pompous asses sputtering like a V8 running on only 2 cylinders).  So, does it exist?  Someone else totals up the votes (emphasis mine):

For years here in Virginia I have observed massive fraud – in the registration process, in the absentee ballot casting, in the battle to remove photo IDs, in the voting at the polls. Recent studies have shown thousands of illegal alien registrations in Virginia,

And then, the same problem we have here in NH:

‘To Be White Is to Be Racist, Period’

Ah yes, the traditional school house instructional subjects: Reading, Writing, ‘Rithmatic – and “RACIST!”.  Except those first three – sorry, I lost my head.  Nope, just the last one.  Johnny can’t do math but is inculcated in the Left’s Cultural Marxism which today, with the Black Lives Matter and the use of our Community-Organizer-in-Chief’s main tactic of “rubbing it raw” agitation, I’m not surprised.  Janie only knows about the Founders as old white guys with slaves but looks at our police with “Fry’em like Bacon” going round in her vacuum filled brain case.

And of course, it isn’t just the culture – now we have schools being the outreach arm of the Progressive State continuing to divide us all in its goal to shove the balkanization society – little groups are just SO much easier to co-opt and control.  Doubt me?  Get a load of this teacher:

The parents of a high school student in Oklahoma are livid that their daughter’s teacher said all white people are racist. The girl caught the comments on tape with her phone. “To be white is to be racist, period,” the teacher at Norman North High School declared in class. The student,

Political signs as proxy?

To be sure, I stay home a lot – it’s easy when you work via the Internet during the day and don’t get out much at night lately.  Today, though, I had to run errands myself this morning.  For whatever reason, I actually took note of the political signs that I saw – and those … Read more

Data Point – Newspaper Revenue

Notable Quote – and so also thought the planners of Obamacare

A planner, according to Easterly, ‘thinks he already knows the answers.’  A searcher, by contrast, ‘admits he doesn’t know the answers in advance; he believes that poverty is a complicated triangle of political, social, historical, institutional and technological factors’ (Easterly 2006: 6). Many economists and other development experts are clearly best described as ‘planners’ in … Read more

What is the end game of voter fraud?

Lifted from Instapundit – J. Christian Adams (emphasis mine):

Podesta’s right. Alien registration and voting is the next big battle for election integrity, because federal mandates created vulnerabilities in our election process.

Here’s how it works.

Under Motor Voter, registrants can get registered to vote while they get their driver’s license or “photo ID.” How? Well, getting registered to vote is as easy as marking “YES” to the question: “Are you a citizen of the United States?”

As Podesta notes, when you attest you are a citizen, you get registered. It’s automatic. It’s mandated under federal law.

The registrant then signs the form, stating under “penalty of perjury” that the answers are correct. It’s an honor system — but only four states engage in citizenship verification.

Data Point – nuclear over wind or solar

On the news that TVA’s Watts Bar Unit 2 goes live (emphasis mine, reformatted): The 1,150 MWe Watts Bar 2 reactor provides clean electricity for 650,000 homes & businesses. Watts Bar 2 alone will produce as much electricity as 1/3rd of America’s wind turbines. A wind farm generating as much power as Watts Bar 2 … Read more

Follow us on GAB for tonite’s 3d and last 2016 Presidential Debate

I have no idea what to expect of tonite’s debate – as others have surmised, “it’s a crap shoot”.  Frankly, I can’t wait for this election to get over even as I have a LOT of ennui over this whole election cycle. That said, instead of tweeting, I’ll be “gabbing”.  At Gab, you can find … Read more

Data Point – Media Bias much?

A study from Harvard’s Shorenstein Center of the four weeks encompassing and surrounding the two major-party political conventions makes this obvious. Trump’s news coverage during this period was 75 percent negative; the friendliest week Trump got from the media was the week of the convention itself — when it was “only” 55 percent negative.

Contrast that with the treatment Hillary Clinton received in the same period, which overall was 44 percent positive. Where no news outlet in the Shorenstein study managed to get to 40 percent positive coverage of Trump, all but one (Washington Times) had 40 percent or more positive coverage of Clinton. Four of the 11 media outlets offered better than 50 percent positive coverage to Clinton. While coverage of Trump’s qualifications only generated 22 percent positive coverage, 69 percent of the coverage of Clinton’s leadership qualities was positive.

(H/T: Hot Air)

Three months ago, an MRC Culture study determined that more than twenty TV shows had attacked Donald Trump. Now, with only three weeks until the election, the count has increased to nearly thirty.

Thanks to WikiLeaks – buh-bye NewsMax

We have had a widget on our right side based on an agreement with Newsmax.

Why was the CEO of Newsmax emailing Hillary’s current Campaign Chairman John Podesta about meetings with conservative leaders in DC? And is mega-Clinton Foundation Clinton Foundation donor, Christopher Ruddy using his website to encourage millions of Americans to walk away from Trump and vote for Hillary?

Christopher Ruddy, the CEO of the “conservative” cable TV and news website Newsmax became famous in the late 90’s for his conspiracy theory that the former Clinton White House aid Vince Foster was murdered and that he did not commit suicide. He actually wrote a bestseller book titled, “The Strange Death Of Vincent Foster.” In 1997 Ruddy said the suspicious death of Vince Foster made Watergate “look like child’s play.”

Fast-forward to February 2014, to find Ruddy curiously making a $1 MILLION donationto the Clinton Foundation.

In February 2015, Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy told the Wall Street Journal, “Hillary would make a great President.” In the latest Wikileaks email dump #9,
