Is Mexico finally “paying for The Wall”?

Steve beat me (“Mexico Just Busted Up A Caravan – Hundreds Arrested“) in putting up the news that the Central American “caravans” may be near the end of their political lifespans. We’ve been writing about these for a while now as we at GraniteGrok do see them as a slow rolling existential threat given the … Read more

All the Democrat Prez Wannabees: “I WILL GIVE YOU FREE STUFF!!!”

Americans, especially the young’uns, that favor socialism, really will get cheesed when it turns around and bites THEM. However, by that time, it will be too late. After all, how long did the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain last once it started. True, too, is Cuba and China… Is it the case that clouds … Read more

Press Conference: Womens’ Defense League of NH – Veto these bills!

This morning, the Womens’ Defense League of NH (“WDLNH”) had a press conference in the Legislative Office Building at 8:30am. Despite the slavish attention that NH’s Media gives the anti-Constitution/civilian disarmament folks, none of them were to be found covering “the other side”. Only GraniteGrok and Tony Schinella from Patch were there: The topic: to … Read more

Dan Feltes Income Tax

Dan Feltes’ Income tax

NH State Senator Dan Felts refuses to admit that his mandatory Paid Family Medical Leave act which will apply a 0.5% tax on a worker’s income, is just that – an income tax. And sooo…. The advertisement highlights Senate Majority Leader Dan Feltes’ fervent support for the creation a mandatory income tax, hidden under the … Read more

Blogline of the Day – Cravenness much?

“The best argument in favor of Trump’s presidency is what Trump’s presidency has taught us about the character of the people who oppose him, and who would be wielding power if he weren’t.” We’re seeing who they are and what they are on the national stage right now.  We’re also seeing it closer to home … Read more

BlogQuestion of the Day: Free? Free? Free?

“All these Democratic candidates want free college for everyone. Which one worked for free as a professor?” Actually, have any of them ever worked professionally for free? I’m not talking about the lawyers in the bunch doing the occasional pro-bono work, or the others doing something free on an occasional basis.  The question is, how … Read more

Quotes

Notable Quote – Prof Dan Boudreaux

A longish one but given that “Let’s all go pagan and worship Mother Earth” (otherwise known as Earth Day) was yesterday, a note of optimism instead of the Doom, Gloom, and Socialism by the Eco-ists: • Since 1980 indoor air pollution — mostly from home cooking and heating — has steadily fallen in every region of … Read more

Quick Thought: Democrats continue to prove they are anti-babyists

Even with all of the hoo-haw caused by Virginia Gov Northam (D) talking about infanticide (“post-birth abortion”) being a real thing, Democrats still want to stifle speech about the practice North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper Vetoes Bill Protecting Abortion Survivors from Infanticide North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) vetoed a bill Thursday that would have … Read more

Irony: One of the Ways That Socialist Bernie Got Rich…

You don’t think that there’s just a whiff of Crony Capitalism embedded in here at all, do you? Bernie tried EVERYTHING to deflect what he SAYS about Capitalism (bad, bad, bad) compared to what he DOES. Like The Wizard of Oz saying, “Don’t pay attention to the man behind that curtain!!!” Simply, a Fraud. “Fine … Read more

How DARE you appropriate OUR Letters? LGBTQers are miffed

Once again, one of the Progressive’s protected identity groups is up in arms that someone had the temerity to re-purpose THEIR letters from our Common Alphabet!  Miffed, steamed, upset, ticked, blown away and angry that somebody wanted to “culturally appropriate” their monniker.  If you have been living as a solitary Monk for the last 5 … Read more

Priorities? for Nashua? How’s that work?

CHASER: Walking Hazards: Funding an issue for city sidewalks in disrepair  As they age, many of the sidewalks around Nashua are falling into disrepair. While city officials are aware of the issue, the problem persists due to a lack of available funding…“The city is responsible for the sidewalks. We realize that there are a lot … Read more

Who cares about skin deep diversity if they all think/vote in lockstep?

(Image H/T: BizJournals)

UPDATE: The copyright owner, Demetria Miles-McDonald (given the intersectionality, I dunno if it is Ms, Mrs., Miss, Zir, They, or some other pronoun or modifier), sent a Cease and Desist order for the table that formerly occupied this space.  That’s part of the problem with this notion of everything blobs into everything else with this.

Then there’s the Third Wave Feminist ideology of you can be oppressed several ways to Sunday. All the more to whack the Normals over the head as one granulates each and every identity group to which you might think you belong. (Like a polyamorous 20-year-old Chinese lesbian who identifies as a Native American trans-6-year-old boy with leanings of a Furry; you get the idea.)

Gee, other than my original target to ridicule, that chart was only a prop (as it is here to her narrative), I thought I was doing her a favor by promoting her work and letting it explain exactly how many oppressed groups one can be a part of at once because it has to be seen and studied to be believed.  The epitome of the anti-E-Pluribus-Unum because by the time you’re done, you have no idea to what you belong to and it is all blamed on ‘Murica.

So, go here, look at the table (go quick because with the Progressive bent for declaring “This is Truth” and a couple of weeks later circling back and then stating “No, THIS NEW thing is Truth and that other thing is now BAD”, it may be out of date), come on back and read the rest.  And I’ll be blogging more about this later on.

Original Post

And why is this even newsworthy?  Is this just yet another example of why folks on the Right roll their eyes and go “really?” because we don’t generally care what you look like.  But Democrats are judging your looks every second of every day – how’s it feel to be objectified simply for political reasons?

NH Primary Source: Election boosts diversity in Democratic NH House caucus

First African-American Granite Stater elected to state Senate

20 LAWMAKERS OF DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS. The 234-member House Democratic majority caucus has 19 members who either have minority backgrounds or are members of the LGBT community.

Like I’ve said before, I don’t care if you are black, white, red, yellow, brown, or green with blue polka dots – what matters is if you love your family, pay your taxes, be nice, as a software engineer – does your code work and is it elegant and most importantly, what do you think and believe?  It is that latter part that truly is important. THAT’s the source of true diversity and not just what you look like when you look into a mirror. However, that’s all the Left seems to care about – what group do you belong to? They don’t see the individual, the person; it is all about the Collective and identity groups that go along with it. Society – just clumps of groups. The groups exist only to move the Democrat agenda. Doubt me? Look how fast Christine Blasey Ford has disappeared from the scene – her political usefulness gone, so is she; just a cog in the machine and once deemed unusable, gone.
