Yep, our early straw poll is going on right now over here. And I am looking for for an answer – Hypothesis: will the ranking that you folks determine now hold true, for each race, when we redo them in late August?

Indeed – It’s Not the Guns. Operative Question: How Has Society Changed?

Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – #16 – Peak Transgenderism at both ends of its Spectrum
Is reality and science finally taking hold in the sports world when it comes to men that think they are women participating in sports meant for women only? Some additional thoughts buried in here as well: FINA just eliminated all transgender women who have undergone male puberty from swimming competition. Thus, unless parents commit child … Read more
Cracks in the Gilford School Board’s Continuing Support of Policy Jbab (Unfreedom of Speech, Lying to Parents)?
Last Wednesday night(6/15) was a joint meeting of the Gilford and Gilmanton School Boards held in Gilmanton rather than in Gilford (happens a few times a year) but in two parts. The first part was concerning the High School; Gilmanton tuitions its high schoolers to Gilford and that’s why this two-part meeting is held. It … Read more
Grok Straw Poll: Who is your pick for NH Governor?
The last poll about “who might be a good NH Governor was kinda all over the place with all those names, kinda amusing, I had fun with it, and a wee bit illustrative of how you, dear readers, are looking at people, politics, and positions. We haven’t been doing a lot of polls lately but I think this series might be illustrative as well.
To Repeat, Granitegrok Is Often More Republican than the NH GOP
When I first announced the return of GrokTALK! a few weeks ago, in pursuit of likely guests, the very first response I got on my status update from a Republican Facebook page was, “Great, just what we need, more anti-Republican crap.” – Steve Go ahead, change my mind. Or rather, Steve’s and mine. Again, researching some stuff in GraniteGrok’s archives (try … Read more
Blogline of the Day – We Should Be Saying This More Often – MUCH More Often
Freedom just is – having to ask permission means it doesn’t exist
(H/T: Skip, September 12, 2014)
We are closing in on 47,000 published posts at GraniteGrok; we’ve covered a lot of issues, concerns, questions, and trouble. A lot of times, by several of us, and often, the same thing comes back up in different guises.
Chuck Morse: “Uneducated Rednecks”. Seems to be the L’idée Du Jour for the Republican Primary Election
For far too long, Democrats keep saying that their ideas are solid but their messaging is off. When they encounter pushback on both their ideas AND messaging, they start yammering “you need to get educated!”. I heard that a LOT during the Public Comment sessions at the Gilford School Board meetings as they listened to … Read more
Newbie Journalist Makes up Stories, Newspaper Fires Her, Journalist Professor Mad at Newspaper
I’ve written a lot, over the years, on both the plunging quality of “journalism” as well as the skyrocketing uplift of the naked partisanship of those “journalists”. Here, thanks to Wokeness, it’s a twofer!
Fathers’ Day – It Really Isn’t about Giving a Gift or a Dinner.
I know this is going to be published at the end of the day – we’re getting so many submissions that by the time I can start writing in the morning, almost all our slots are filled. The purpose of this post is to say that Fathers are the problem in America today. No, not that they ARE the problem but that they are LACKING in our society. Too many kids are growing up without them.
Coos County Republican Committee Votes to Censure NH Governor Chris Sununu
Well, this was rather interesting! Once again, a little birdie coughed a nice gushy worm – just in time for the start of the 2022 Governor Campaign:
Data Point – Inflation up, Credit Cards go into use
Forget CPI: the week’s most important data point is today’s monthly consumer credit update. Last month we saw a blowout, record surge in credit card usage as consumers tapped out…… and sure enough it was, while again confirming what we have been saying for month: any excess savings accumulated by the US middle class are long … Read more
This Is a Great Teaching Video – Exposing Why Militant Transgenders Are So Narcissistic: DON’T CALL ME SIR!
They expect you to bow down to them and all their whims – they prey on the sense of politeness and good nature of most in order to get what they want. Matt Walsh, the force behind “What is a Woman” documentary (I STILL have to watch it), takes apart one Eden Torres, a militant … Read more
Data Point – How Many Constitutional Carry States Are There Now?
The number keeps rising and is now half the States in the Union as of March: 25. Half the country now honors and respects the Second Amendment whose plain words put NO restrictions on the keeping and bearing of arms. Period: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the … Read more
NOTICE: Sheriff Warns against Picking up Folded up Cash in the Street. Here’s Why
DUnno if this is happening here in New England but forewarned is forearmed: A Sheriff’s office in Tennessee is warning the public against picking up folded dollar bills because of possible fentanyl and methamphetamine exposure. The Giles County Sheriff’s Department saw two incidents where a folded dollar bill was discovered on a local gas station floor … Read more
And When You Refuse to Leave Alone Those That Want to Just Be Left Alone
The Most Terrifying Force of Death… “The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change … Read more
Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – #15 – SCOTUS Justice Kavanaugh and the Left’s Domestic Terrorism – and Gun Control
More random thoughts – the Left’s absolute mind-tearing political rampage about killing babies, while I wait for the Grandson’s field trip bus to the Squam Lake Center to arrive, after the leaking of the Alito preliminary decision about overriding Roe vs Wade. Throw in some about the “shall not infringe”-ing going on by the Democrats … Read more

Learn the System, Exploit the System
Given that Republicans in DC have decided (in caving in), just like the Republicans in Concord, that they can redefine words any way they want to “DO SOMETHING”, the money they are about to use as bribes to the “various State” to implement Red Flag laws, I’m betting this will happen:
Notable Quote – Buying Stuff but Using Someone Else’s Credit Card – And Then Say “See, We Did Something for You!”
Emphasis mine: Nothing so epitomizes contemporary liberalism as unfunded mandates, in which the federal government establishes programs and forces the states to pay for them. The very need to weigh benefits against costs – the essence of economics – is evaded by this irresponsible exercise of arrogance. It is like impulse buying and charging it to … Read more
