Update to “Blood Dancers Gathering in Concord Monday”

August 12, 2019 Skip

Tagging onto Susan’s post about the Democrats dancing on the bloody shirt of the victims of what seems to have been by Leftist shooters; they’ll be at it again during the Trump rally. Yes, I’m on their email list so I get all of those sordid tales of victimology and Collectivist wailings. Collectivists – and … Read more

August 12, 2019August 12, 2019 Skip

This past Saturday, GraniteGrok was invited to the home of NH State House Rep. Jesse Edwards for his 7th Annual Tailgate Party. Originally a “pre-college football season tailgate practice” party, it has morphed into more than just sports. A lot more.

Er, WHICH Constitution is he talking about?

August 9, 2019 Skip

Sometimes when high stakes things happen, things AREN’T always quite written as it should be. Thus, I smiled when I saw this tweet: .@GovChrisSununu vetoes all three gun control bills not addressing specifics of any says laws now "well-crafted" and NH 2nd Amendment stronger than in U.S. Constitution. #nhpolitics — Kevin Landrigan (@KlandriganUL) August 9, … Read more

August 9, 2019August 9, 2019 Skip

Three Democrat-sponsored gun-grabbing bills in New Hampshire are toast. So, no. Granite Staters’ Constitutional Rights are not going”to be infringed.”

UPDATE #2: DCYF just can’t stop stepping all over itself, even in CYA mode when trying to close the case.

August 8, 2019 Skip

I wrote about DCYF a while ago (here and here). In trying to get their side of the story, even with permission from the parents, everyone refused to talk “to the media” (being GraniteGrok).

…but, I won’t die in a helpless blubbering heap on the floor begging for my life

August 7, 2019 Skip

As seen on Facebook (again, but a good reminder): I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face…and a gun under my shirt and you are none the wiser, yet you are safer for having me next to you. I won’t shoot you. My gun won’t pull it’s own … Read more

The Wright Museum – more than just declaring itself a “Gun Free Zone”?

August 7, 2019August 7, 2019 Skip

Executive Director Michael Culver Ph.D. has declared that “Starting July 24, 2019, the Wright Museum of WWII is now posting that it is a weapons-free zone.” This notice will soon be posted on the museum’s website and entry doors. “The Wright Museum and Campus are Smoke and Weapons-free Zones” This is starting to get more … Read more

Facebook Doodlings – And this is how Progressives think about those that voted (or will vote) for Trump

August 7, 2019August 7, 2019 Skip

Papa Smurf was correct – keep THEM talking, and talking….and then talking some more. Keep asking them. In one way or another to keep them talking – it can be great fun.

If you loved Obamacare, just WAIT for Medicare-for-All “Premium Hit!

August 7, 2019 Skip

Actually, they won’t be premiums, they’ll be taxes. Unlike premiums, which if you don’t pay them you just get dropped by the company, if you don’t pay your taxes, the Government comes to MAKE you pay them.

Update: Your answer was “No!” -> “Poll: Should the sale of assault rifles by stopped?”

I posted this up a couple of days ago: Fosters Daily Democrat (NH seacoast newspaper) is running that poll. You know what to do. And guess what – you knew what to do (I knew you would!): I think that said you told them how you feel. Good job!

WOW! Who’d a thunk CNN would have said this about Background Checks??

August 6, 2019 Skip

I nearly fell off my chair when I came across this: Fact check: Would stronger background checks have stopped El Paso and Dayton? I clicked in wondering what kind of twisting they’d put on it to fulfill their normal Narrative (which, if you haven’t been paying attention, is pretty much no guns, no where. You … Read more

US Senator Jeanne Shaheen (Socialist-NH): hypocrite much? What about abortion violence?

August 6, 2019 Skip

SHOT: Tragically, El Paso and Dayton join the many communities across the country that have been devastated and traumatized by a mass shooting. Words will not stop these acts of terrorism.

So the Left wishes us to believe there is such a thing as Collective Responsibility

August 6, 2019 Skip

Another term for Collective Responsibility is “Collective Guilt.” As if the rest of us should be responsible if someone else does something stupid.

Ride along opens eyes, forges pledge to safer city

August 6, 2019August 5, 2019 Skip

I RECENTLY HAD the opportunity to go on a ride-along with the Manchester Police Department to gain first-hand insight into what our men and women in blue face each and every day. As a mother raising two young boys in our city, to say it was an eye-opening experience is an understatement. I spent an … Read more

Gov Sununu votes for the Free Market, NH State Senators Guida and Starr – Not so Much

August 5, 2019August 5, 2019 Skip

In essence, that’s what both Bob Guida and David Starr are saying in this report on HB183. Yet they are claiming that they are Republicans in affiliation – and holding the second-highest elected office in NH (being State Senators).
