Bill Greiner has brought this all on his lonesome, simply because he thought, once again, that “little people” shouldn’t be getting in the way of his “getting stuff done.” What Progressives call “progress.” This time, it looks like he’s threatening both an elected Bedford Planning Board official AND a well-known restauranteur.

“…that the city is likely the last resort to fill the gap…”
We have several informal mottoes here at GraniteGrok. One is self-evident – “we annoy people” (mostly the ones that need annoying). The other one is a tangential off-shoot of what the late US Speaker of the House “Tip” O’Neill’s quote of “All politics is local” If it is happening here, it is probably happening in … Read more
Heroes matter. Guess who Progressives think are not – and who should be
This could also have been a BlogLine of the Day but requires a bit more thinking. So, here’s my information backdrop US Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan – Asserts that the amount of deviant behavior in American society has increased beyond levels the community can afford to recognize and that society has been redefining deviancy to … Read more
Standard Fare – Democrat Hypocrisy
Yep, this just about says it all (reformatted, emphasis mine): VA DEMOCRATS ACCEPTED DONATIONS FROM NORTHAM’S PAC AFTER CALLING FOR HIS RESIGNATION Four Virginia Democrats disclosed that they received donations from Gov. Ralph Northam’s political action committee despite having called for his resignation earlier this year, according to campaign finance data from Virginia Public Access … Read more
SO, NH House Democrat Leadership – ‘splain how this is “Bipartisan”?
This is why I keep saying to NOT listen to what politicians SAY but to WATCH what they do. From the Party that screams “but Bipartisanship” from the rafters when they’re not in power, here is their stance now that they have the power: For Immediate Release June 11th, 2019 Contact: 603-271-3665 House Republicans React … Read more
Facebook Doodlings – Where do they get these ideas on Minimum Wage?
Yup, in our effort to better get the message out on how various locality’s Democrat NH State Reps are voting, here’s one about Nashua’s concerning the the Minimum Wage. It’s a topic that’s near and dear to my heart (and limited government philosophy) so when I saw it on Facebook in that “by invitation only” … Read more
DISQUS Doodlings – Go ahead, give me ONE eco-apocalypse that has come true!
And of course, they can’t. Not a single one. I was in high school back in the early 70s and at that time, there was a rumor that we were all gonna die – of COLD! A new Ice Age was coming and we’d better get our nuke plants ready because they’d be the only … Read more
Hmmm, I could agree with feminists on this idea
Sorta like the line that Jim Bender had when he ran for US Senate from NH a couple of election cycles ago (it drove his professional campaign staff to absolute HORROR!): “a government small enough to put into a burlap bag, wrap a rope around it, and drown it in a bathtub”. I can hear … Read more
Brentwood NH – Do you know how your two NH State Reps voted this week? GraniteGrok does!
You know, because Liz McConnell asked for the Streisand Effect by trying to censor the Brentwood Newsletter, we’re just obliging her by continuing to share her voting record with her constituents. So this is what she did this week – and contrast that with your Republican State Rep, Josh Yokula. You have to ask yourself … Read more
If this unenumerated item is a Constitutional Right, what about this Enumerated one?
SHOT: Paul Waldman “Because if you believe women should have a right to an abortion, that right ought to have practical meaning for everyone. We believe that the Constitution’s right of due process requires that you have legal representation if you’re accused of a crime, but we don’t say that if you can’t afford it, tough … Read more
Private sector is almost always more innovative than politicians and bureaucracies: Mean Arms MA Loader
I really do feel sorry for conservatives and gun owners in California. Since it is a completely Democrat run State, Progressives can pass pretty much any law they want that really does infringe on the Second Amendment. Lately, SB880 said that AR-15 pattern rifles cannot have removable magazines. Yeah, go ahead, think about that. I … Read more
Really, ahGAIN Joel Desilets makes us put our sights on him?
Last October Joel Desilets (R-Windham) got all bent out of shape because we were “trashing” him. Actually, when I heard this, I couldn’t stop laughing. No Joel, WE didn’t do anything. You did. And if you recall, WE just, well, pointed it out: “NH GOP Town Chair supports a Democrat.”
Another difference between Britain and America
The British side of this is that they had problems with guns so this land that gave birth to the most free country in history decided it needed gun control. And more gun control, and then stepped on the gas even more. We on this side of the pond said “Law of Unintended Consequences! When … Read more
Blogline of the Day – Yes, Government knows EXACTLY what it is doing
Registered sex offenders in NY got Medicaid money for erectile dysfunction Or, at least that is what Statist / Socialist / Progressives keep telling me. TRUST us, we know what we’re doing! Yeah, right. (H/T: NY Daily News)
Yep, this is the result of our overpriced secondary education system
A loyal reader who owns a business sent this partial scan of a job application from a little while ago; I’ve added the “emphasis”. I was also told that this young lady is still looking for employment. Is it too much to ask that our educational system, which is generally around 66% of our local tax … Read more
Notable Quote – It’s all about tolerance towards them until Power has been achieved
…Turning to the Equality Act, Biden said, “I promise you if I’m elected president it will be the first thing I ask to be done. It will send a message around the world, not just at home.” “This is our soul, da*mit, this is who we have to be… This is our real moral obligation,” … Read more
HB365 – Thank you, Gov. Sununu, for vetoing higher electric rates!
Concord, NH – NHGOP Chairman Stephen Stepanek released the following statement regarding Governor Sununu’s veto of House Bill 365 (emphasis mine, and above image chosen especially for our NH climate either – every moment that snow is on them make those panels more and more useless): “The NHGOP supports Governor Chris Sununu’s veto of HB365 … Read more

(H/T: Powerline) After all: Yep, there’s carbon in that thing!
A Prez Wannabee Confirms it – Killing Babies is a Democrat Party Value
Cory Booker confirms that killing babies is one of the Democratic Party’s ‘values’ Yep, Spartacus lets the [already known] cat out of the bag: At a time when Republicans across the country are mounting a coordinated, all-out attack on women's reproductive freedoms, it's unconscionable that someone in our own party would contribute. Democratic leadership should … Read more
