I’ve had a running series from Nashua politics (taking a bit of time on FB instead of here), specifically on Jan Schmidt and her lie about GraniteGrok (second “text balloon” down):

Data Point – 5.8 million off the Government SNAP welfare program
The best form of welfare is a job (reformatted, emphasis mine): Over 5.8 million individuals have discontinued their participation in America’s food stamp program since President Donald Trump’s first full month in office, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data. The most recent USDA data shows that 5,829,890 people discontinued their participation in food … Read more
Notable Quote – Lloyd Marcus
“Trump’s speech revealed a far more ideologically conservative Trump than he was is 2016. When Trump ran for the presidency, he was not ideological. His leanings appeared to be towards the left. He probably thought conservatives were a bit paranoid and over-the-top sounding the alarm about how Democrats seek to undermine our country’s best interests. … Read more
Blogline of the Day – a perfect description of what Democrats are doing to our language
From my post on how Maggie “The Red” Hassan continues to alter our common language, this comment got it exactly right: ‘Weaponized Language Bolsheviks’ (H/T: NHNative)
Windham – how one of your NH State Reps voted: Joel Desilets
So, once again, NH State Rep Joel Desilets (R??? – Windham) has decided to put himself into our sights here at GraniteGrok; it’s not like he hasn’t tried to before (“Sigh: And an NH GOP Town Chair supports a Democrat” and “Really, ahGAIN Joel Desilets makes us put our sights on him?“). And then he, … Read more
Jan Schmidt – if it wasn’t for double standards towards women…
This saga never seems to end – I had put up a screenshot of where Nashua’s Jan Schmidt (and NH State Rep as well as Nashua Alderman) is attempting to, true to Democrat identity politics, turn herself into a victim. It really is what they do (standard M.O.?) – from the Democrat Prez Wannabees to … Read more
Notable Quote – Gerrit Wormhoudt
If we open our minds, we cannot but realize that, for the most part, the elaborate barriers designed to minimize the role of government force in our lives have over time been increasingly ignored. Those very few powers granted to the federal government have been so broadly construed as to become meaningless. -Gerrit Wormhoudt (Opting … Read more
Notable Quote – Steven Pinker
The doctrine of sustainability assumes that current rates of use of a resource may be extrapolated into the future until it rams into a ceiling. The implication is that we must switch to a renewable resource that can be replenished at the rate we use it, indefinitely. In reality, societies have always abandoned a resource … Read more
2020 The Party of Youth only has one.
The oldest three add up to 227 years – not one is under 70 by Election day. And then there is “The Kid” – I think the cartoon is apt. (H/T: Powerline)
Jan Schmidt: makes serious lie about GraniteGrok and now makes herself a victim for doing so
Her as well as her fellow NH State Representative, Debra Altschiller (her alleged assault on Susan Olsen) – trying to turn the tables? More on Altschiller later but now that word is getting out that this elected official has blocked me, I’m getting screenshots from others about her whining. Like this one: A most perfect … Read more
Always be prepared to talk with the “invisible” people – they aren’t Deplorable at all!
I missed it – last month marked our 13th year anniversary! Starting out, as I’ve oft said, Doug and I expected that other than our families, maybe 5 or 6 people a week might read our opinions – and we weren’t sure about our families, either! Since then, Doug has left and GraniteGrok went from … Read more
Part 2: NH State Rep Jan Schmidt – about that blatant lie you told about GraniteGrok? That really serious one?
You see, you lied about GraniteGrok. You gave the impression that we are bullies. No, that’s not quite right – you think that we threaten violence upon others. That even if we are bloggers / citizen journalists / opinion speakers / influence makers, that we would have the temerity, the anger, the stupidness of the … Read more
First I could see her name and then POOF! I was banned. Thanks, Jan Schmidt. Oh, Jan? BTW…Part 2
So, as I showed in my first post about Jan Schmidt blocking me on Facebook, I had sent an email to her: From: “Skip” <Skip@GraniteGrok.com> To: Jan.Schmidt@leg.state.nh.us Sent: 6/14/2019 3:29:53 PM Subject: Facebook blockage Ms. Schmidt, Give the precedent set by Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald in ruling that President Trump cannot block Twitter users from … Read more
NH State Rep Jan Schmidt – about that blatant lie you told about GraniteGrok? That really serious one?
Yes, NH State Rep Jan Schmidt – you ought to be paying close attention to this post. Don’t have someone else read it to you – you need to read it for yourself. You see, you lied about GraniteGrok. You gave the impression that we are bullies. No, that’s not quite right – you think … Read more
First I could see her name and then POOF! I was banned. Thanks, Jan Schmidt. Oh, Jan? BTW…
SHOT: Trump can’t block Twitter followers, federal judge says President Donald Trump cannot block users on his Twitter feed, a federal judge in New York City ruled Wednesday. Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald said in her ruling that Trump is violating the U.S. Constitution by preventing certain Americans from viewing his tweets on @realDonaldTrump.

Quick Thought – and they STILL want more money from the State??
How about when you pay attention to your own details, first (emphasis mine, reformatted)? IRS hits Claremont schools with $320,000 in penalties Paperwork failures are again costing the school district that serves Claremont and Unity, this time with the Internal Revenue Service putting SAU 6 on notice for a $320,000 fine…LeClair said she became aware … Read more
Liberty Mutual – rewarding nudity with a President’s Award
Good old American values, there Liberty Mutual – you don’t have to bring your kiddies to the scummy strip joint in the red light zone (did I just age myself there?), just bring them to the beach. Or, pretty much, anywhere now. It’s a value, I guess a new-fangled one based on yet another set … Read more
Notable Quote – Ari Fleischer
[Bernie Sanders says that] Socialism is for compassion, justice, and love. Well I don’t know what nation on Earth where socialism has ever achieved those objectives. Freedom achieves those objectives but socialism has brought, to 10s of millions around the world, instead, is oppression, injustice, and scarcity. This is what socialism delivers. -Ari Fleicher (Fox … Read more
Brentwood NH – Do you Know How Your Two NH State Reps Voted Overall? GraniteGrok Does!
The end of this year’s session is here so GraniteGrok has compendiums of all of the really bad votes (from the aspect of either maintaining or enhancing our Rights, Freedoms, and Liberties). Given that NH State Rep Liz McConnell is making efforts to censor those that would otherwise be publishing her Progressive voting record while … Read more
