Monday night I was asked to “assist” at the School Board meeting of SAU46 by one of our Groksters, Mike Moffet (R-Loudon). No, not to help the School Board.

Prequel to Rule #1 for the SAU46 (Merrimack Valley School District) – Challenge them. I did – with RTKs!
If one lesson is to be learned with Parents trying to deal with School Boards is this:
They aren’t used to being challenged
Most of us at my Grandfatherly age got and most earned decent educations K-12. It was subject matter after subject matter and not Social Justice during Block 1, Black Lives Matter in Block 3, and Critical Race Theory sprinkled throughout the day.
Why I Don’t Believe the NH Media When They Say We Are “Bed Short” With “Not enough Staff”
For a couple of weeks now, all we’ve been hearing is that NH hospitals are getting overloaded with patients – and using “COVID” rather broadly. WMUR has certainly been doing its job on the WuFlu Panic Porn front with breathless announcements, updates, and anecdotal updates from our “health providers.”
New Hampshire Knows BEST Conference
UPDATED and BUMPED: Use the code “GraniteGrok” and your tickets will be FREE!
For those of you in NH, especially in the Lakes Region, that are concerned about the rapid change of injecting Social Justice and Critical Race Theory into your child’s/grandchild’s school system by “the Professional Staff” (whether you like it or not), this is a conference that you do not want to miss!
Awe, A Certain Tuftonboro Teacher (Brian Bloomer) did have the Sads yesterday.
But we will never know what happened to the Progressive dude who brought this unto himself. Only way we’ll know is to keep checking SAU46’s roster to see if his name is still on it. Steve broke the story that Brian Bloomer, a fifth grade teacher at the Tuftonboro Central School, decided to go on … Read more
Data Point – Who Keeps More of Your Money: You or the Government?
“One would think that in a nation founded on liberty that we’d be free to spend more on personal consumption than the government takes from us. But that’s not the case.”
Yep, It’s LSR Time at the State House. And It Will Be Important to Watch
If you are a political activist concerned about Liberty and Freedom, start watching here, the LSR Results page. Here you will find all of the “proto-type bills” that may well end up becoming law here in NH.
Quick Thought – Why Is It Only Democrats That Are Obsessed with Skin Color?
Oh, that’s RIGHT! It really isn’t about skin color at all. They may say it. They may try to make you believe them. But they lie. They certainly have made it clear that it SEEMS to be that:
A Certain Tuftonboro Teacher May Have a Greeting Party on Monday Morning
So, Steve’s post “Brian the Foul-Mouthed Fifth Grade Teacher on Delta, Vaccines, and Being F-ing Stupid” on Tuftonboro Teacher Brian Bloomer caught my eye earlier (like 3:30 am early) this morning.
Notable Quote – When you get down to the root of the matter, Custom reigns supreme
Reformatted just a bit as our current writing customs want shorter sentences: Had they [ancient Roman legal theorists] studied the facts of consciousness, and learned that conduct was necessarily exhibited in the form of habit and custom. They would have seen that the origin of law rested in a self-governing principle of society (i.e., Customs … Read more
Life With Liz – odds and ends
I always enjoy my 15-20 minutes talking with Liz Gabert twice on Mondays during the month. This past Monday’s show was no different – fast-paced, she asks good questions, and I hope I deliver informative (and sometimes amusing) responses. I think I delivered!
Friday Open Thread – It’s the weekend and I’m exhausted
Other than the shiny moment that I informed the Gilford School Board that my lawsuit is now live (they think it is dandy to destroy the First Amendment and lie to Parents about their kids), it’s been a mostly humdrum week. So PLEASE, tell me you’ve had a far better week! Or something else – … Read more
Democrats Speak with Forked Tongues over “Redistricting”
Democrats screaming about “independent redistricting commissions” are being partisan hacks about the whole process. When the Federal Census Bureau, to account for population growth, decrease, and movement finishes its mandated “census a every year ending in a Zero,” redistricting shall happen.
Folks, GraniteGrok has a Problem (NEW:…Well, HAD a Problem?)
UPDATE 5: It has been a while since we updated this topic actually, a long time (July 30, 2021). Mostly because there has been no updated news to offer from that date.
New Hampshire chooses liberty
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE Republican platform represents the values that my husband and I work hard every day to present to our three boys, both in words and action. I want to instill in my curious, thoughtful sons that fighting for what is right and standing up for those who can’t are the very essence to … Read more
No, Not a Good Look Yesterday for the Anti-Biden-Vax-Mandate Crowd
I wasn’t able to get down to Concord yesterday but it was clear from the WMUR report on the rally NH House leadership was trying to have on the State House steps, that things went awry.
Gilford School Board: Yes, You’re Being Sued. And Yes, I Have Receipts
Yep, I made sure that the complaint could be seen as I let the Gilford School Board know they are going to “have a meeting” with the Judicial Branch. So, here it is: And the Summons which should delight the couple on the Board that thought this wasn’t live until they “got served”: Yes, … Read more
Gilford School Board: Yes, You’re Being Sued. And Yes, I’m Serious.
Yep, they were warned (here, and here, ). And all over a completely avoidable issue: answer the dang questions! But no, with Chair Gretchen Gandini “guiding the silenced” these Elected Representatives who fancy themselves to be “School Board Members” that believe they are above the law just got a quick jerk on their choke chains:
Notable Quote – Another Buttress for the Great Mind Fallacy
The vast disparity in knowledge and understanding between intellectuals and the population at large assumed by the intelligentsia is crucial to the vision of the anointed, whether in discussions of law, economics, race, war or innumerable other issues. But, if the knowledge that is consequential includes a range of mundane information too vast to be … Read more
