My lament that Popular Mechanics has now gone “Woke” is here. Soon after that, I got an email from Hearst asking me if I’d subscribe.

New addition to the ‘Grok “Stealing Campaign Signs” Hall of Shame: Jim Babcock of Gilford Part 4
So, to recap (again): Norm Silber (Grokster, retired Lawyer, former NH State Rep) signed up to run for the NH House again He planted a campaign sign on the corner of Salt Marsh Pond Road and Gilford Ave on public land Jim Babcock was seen stopping his pickup truck to throw Norm’s sign into his … Read more
Sigh, now BOTH Popular Science and Popular Mechanics are Dead to Me
As the saying goes, “Go Woke, go broke.” Just look at what has happened to Dick’s Sporting Goods after they decided that they weren’t just going to stop selling long guns, especially those using the AR-15 platform. They also decided that they were going to fund anti-gun lobbyists as well.
Quick Thought: Hmmm – GraniteGrok Gives Jean Shaheen a “Thank You”?
We’re fairly harsh on our senior Senator to the US Senate and most of the time, we’re actively using the second part of one of our various mottos (“Spank’em when they’re wrong but thank’em when they’re right”) today.
Quick Thought: Er, nope!
WELL, THAT MAKES SENSE: Older, more anxious people likely to stockpile toilet paper during a pandemic.
But as wrong as this:
So, who WOULD want to continue to live in Ilhan Omer’s American Mogadishu (formerly known as Minneapolis)?
Ilhan Omar is a US Representative from the Minneapolis/St Paul area of Minnesota. Her family was accepted for refugee status after leaving Mogadishu, Somalia. With the lastest George Floyd/Black Lives Matter/Leftist Coalition, is anyone surprised at this?
Another step toward making Indians invisible or irrelevant
OK, Native Americans. As I have said before, I don’t care what the Left’s politically correct / Cultural Marxism demands that I use for my speech – ain’t happening.
Notable Quote – John Hinderaker
…I don’t know about a landslide, but I too think the ground is shifting in Trump’s favor. In January, I thought he was a 99% lock for re-election on a record of peace and prosperity. Then the Wuhan virus came along, and state shutdowns devastated the economy. Next, while peace reigns abroad, left-wing rioters, looters … Read more
And I know why many of Faith don’t care

“…$30 million dollars per person that died of covid-19…”
A little context from Facebook (emphasis mine, reformatted): I don’t want to sound insensitive but with 2 trillion more in spending covering what was never really a national threat it’s going to cost 30 million dollars per person that died of covid-19 just in federal deficit spending. Has not anyone noticed we were not really … Read more
Arnie Arnison – Life’s a mess so give Governments more of your money
While I haven’t talked with Arnie Arnison for years. I have to say that she is an honest Democrat operative/pundit/politician. She believes what she believes and keeps to her principles. I just completely disagree with her – like in this LTE (Letter to the Editor) in the Concord Monitor.
History tells us that this tactic has been used before, by who?
One trigger, two trigger events and now all we hear is “Defund the Police”. While it is clear that there are bad cops in the field that have been wrongly covered up (mostly by public sector unions), law enforcement has been taking it in the chops. Most attacks on law enforcement are being done under … Read more
If I was doing this at UNH/Durham, as the white guy I am, I’d have “CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!” screamed at me
If I was doing this at UNH/Durham, as the white guy I am, I’d have “CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!” screamed at me. And that’s because the Left has created all these New Rules to follow.
The Irony, it Burns…Ignoring Race is Now Racial Discrimination.
Normally I would have put this up as a Notable Quote until I read the last sentence. Twice. If only I could be there in person to make sport of them:
Too good to not use: “Black Lives Matter forces whites to march in back of line: ‘Systemic racism’ lives”
Somebody had fun with that title but when I looked at the picture, the only thing that could come to mind is “what weak people they are”. A Free person doesn’t kneel to another. Apologize if you want but that picture is demeaning.
So, having a BB gun on your wall is the same as a gun in a classroom? More overreach by Govt
If you have a school-aged child that goes to a Government school, you know all about Remote Learning via the Internet. For some it has been a bust – bored, not wanting to do anything – or a boon – “Hey, I can get up when I want, do my schoolwork on MY schedule (which is generally faster than in school), and knock off early.
Volinsky proving another Socialist stereotype: a non-apology apology
Hate to keep harping on Selfish Andru but he’s turning out to be a treasure trove: Volinsky did not apologize specifically to the governor or to the nominee, Ryan Terrell, but he told WMUR in an interview, “It’s clear that I used some language (Wednesday) that has offended some people and that was not my … Read more
The other Evil that is Andru Volinsky – that of Greed and Selfishness
The greatest lie, as you all know, is that Socialists would have you believe that if you put them into places of Power, they will bring Heaven down to Earth so that all can live a life of Utopia. Well, we all know that almost all Socialists are godless so how would they believe in … Read more
Bet on it – Volinsky is going to turn us into NJ: “I will lower your property taxes”.
Two-term Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky doubled down on his refusal to pledge to veto a sales or income tax Friday as he formally filed his candidacy for governor. Instead, Volinsky created a pledge of his own – he’s calling it “the pledge of the future.” It says,
Notable Quote – Matt Walsh
There is much discussion about “privilege” in our culture. Indeed, the concept of privilege is one of the things fueling these mobs. They would say that privilege is bestowed based on race and gender, and that I, as a white man, have the most privilege of all. Yet I’m fairly sure that if I drove … Read more
