I made a promise – GraniteGrok will not forget Eugen; this day we still remember what happened 24 years ago today: 9/11/2001. Someone had written a post with a short blurp “…22 years ago…”. I can’t believe that it has been THAT long – yet I vividly remember that day almost to the minute. While it … Read more
For the last 40 years, all we’ve heard from the Left is that we’re fascists. It has intensified over the last several years. Why? Power – or the loss or lack thereof. Their message has stopped resonating with the public. Their rants are no longer persuasive. Their only backup plan is to try to otherize … Read more
The Left is forever trying to pull the wool over your eyes, ears, and mouth on the subject of settled science. Sorry, Science is NEVER settled, nor is there consensus. Science works only when the data supports a given hypothesis, and then fails when someone else brings up data that shows the hypothesis, no matter … Read more
Both stress and big flashlights can show reality to those who are living in another world and dimension. In this case, it is the Euro weenies who are all about continuing the Never-Ending-Ukranian War – even as they’ll only fight if the US is involved: “500M Europeans Are Begging 300M Americans for Protection from 140M … Read more
I am reminded of my question to Bruce Curry, “Whose money is it FIRST?” Put another way, “Who has the first claim on the money in my wallet”? Curry was an uber-progressive who frequented GraniteGrok for many years, but that was a question he would never answer. He was clear that what funding the Government … Read more
Good governance utilizing democratic processes, capitalist economies, meritocracy and healthy work ethic, and the Rules of Law and Private Property (among other things) have raised billions out of abject poverty. From a world where poverty was the normal state of being for thousands of years of human existence. Yet, one of Lloyd Alter’s Carbon Upfront! … Read more
As I said in my last post (“Is SAU21 Superintendent Meredith Nedeau Attempting to Electioneer – Again?“): Or at least allow it under her nose? Questions upon questions abound. Seems to be more like a welcoming hand. Remember: 659:44-a Electioneering by Public Employees. I. No public employee, as defined in RSA 273-A:1, IX,shall electioneer while in … Read more
The jury is still out on this, and questions still abound, so I decided to start nosing around a bit myself in search of good information in addition to all the stuff that people have already sent me. Sidenote: If you have information about this issue and Superintendent Nedeau, send it to me at Skip@GraniteGrok.com … Read more
Or at least allow it under her nose? Questions upon questions abound. 659:44-a Electioneering by Public Employees. I. No public employee, as defined in RSA 273-A:1, IX,shall electioneer while in the performance of his or her official duties.II. No public employee shall use government property or equipment, including, but not limited to, telephones, facsimile machines, … Read more
Ayup, there certainly is. And it’s easy to do… Putting on the Mantle of Victimhood is easy to do. Everyone weak of heart and weaker of mind will wring their hands in horror. When it comes down to it, “victims” are masters at playing on other peoples’ emotions and lack of ability to: Gazans, you’ve … Read more
School Superintendent Kirk Beitler said what I thought was a really revealing AND Stupid thing to say for a Government employee “with Status.” Which was a LONG nine days ago – almost an eternity ago in the blogosphere: “Tolerance is fine but acceptance is the goal.” In his position (e.g., think COO) as the head … Read more
Note: I just went to the Gilford School Board Meeting Minutes folder and discovered that the Meeting Minutes from the Feb 3rd meeting are missing. Why? It’s now 19 days later. And the School Board made some consequential policy changes due to a “Dear Colleague” letter that Superintendent Beitler received just before that meeting. They … Read more
Remember, Beitler is the guy that I fought to denature as is also championed Policy JBAB (“Transgender and Non-Confirming”) because it gives special “Rights” to a very small minority of youth over all other Normal students AND adults. He also has now decided to champion the newly announced “Prism” student club by Gilford High School … Read more
I think she means well, but if she ever had a clever thought, it died alone and afraid. That is the response of Senator John Kennedy (R-LA), who has the most droll, dead-pan delivery of scorching humor when addressing the idiots arrayed before him (his “colleagues, some of those offering “testimony” and current events). But … Read more
The “Press” has “fluid” definitions for Free Speech depending on who legitimately gored their ox or whose ox they are trying to gore. And too often, their (retributional) ideological persuasions override their common sense (provided they have some of the latter left): And THIS would be MAGNIFICENT if the MSM would just go away from … Read more
To answer the question in the headline, probably not. As in, no clue at all. Sure, a COUPLE of them might know but they won’t speak up as it would spoil the narrative. But they sure are making a lot of the ages of the DOGE wonderkiddos that are turning up all KINDS of waste … Read more
What kinda set of morons are going to try to take on a pistol-packing momma with “da babe” on her hip? Didn’t they pay attention to Sarah Palin’s “Mama Grizzly” – and this one bringing some hot lead to make somebody’s day? Mother With Baby on Hip Gets in Shootout With Alleged Intruders A Decatur, … Read more
Part 1 went rather long (even for me), so I decided to split the remainder into this post. To recap, Gilford School Board Superintendent Kirk Beitler stated the following when High School Principal Anthony Sperazzo announced the formation (and seeking official backing thereof) of a new student club called “Prism” – a “safe space for … Read more
The market economy is the first economic system that makes it profitable to be colour-blind and look for the best supply and the best demand, regardless of who is responsible for it. Of course, it will not make everyone colorblind, but it does so more than otherwise would have been the case (especially in combination … Read more
Lloyd’s been on a roll/rant about Trump and the tariffs he threatened to put on Canada, wailing and decrying what it was going to do to HIS country’s economy – economic Armageddon. He’s also been on a kick about Degrowth – the far Left Eco-Socialism fantasy that we can kill off 7 billion people and … Read more
