There’s still a problem here that isn’t going to clear itself out anytime soon. “The New York Times practically wet itself the other day noting that during COVID, the United States “built a European-style welfare state,” and isn’t it a tragedy that we gave it all up.”

Chris Sununu Presidential Poll Watch – Bonus Edition
Yeah, my plan is to save this kind of information for Monday’s but Conservative Treehouse just mentioned this CBS/YouGov poll and it had two surprising data elements to it.
NAEP 2022 US History and Civics Are In: “Revealing Low Confidence in Civics Knowledge”
Often called “The Nation’s Report Card” it measures various subjects like Arts, Civics, Economics, Geography, Mathematics, Reading, Science, US History, and Writing. Given that we are political bloggers here at GraniteGrok, when this came in from the NH Department of Education, I took a look because the title of the email had this: NAEP releases … Read more
Quick Thought: Heh! Heh! And……..Heh!
I’m just going to leave this here: New Hampshire General Court Legislative Ethics Committee Complaint Form I, the undersigned, do allege that, in my personal knowledge, the following individual(s): ______________________________________, who hold(s) the position of __________________________, did commit a violation of law, or of a guideline, rule or regulation of the General Court. In support … Read more
Real Beer vs Bud Light and the Demands of the Authoritarian Human Rights Campaign
Remember, I don’t drink alcohol, but I do think these side-by-side images perfectly summarize what a real female is versus an ersatz one. The Human Rights Campaign, however – the largest and most well-funded LGBT authoritarian group – is warning Anheuser-Busch (maker of Bud Light) not to go wobbly or they will turn their own … Read more
Angelo Codevilla Nails the Entropy That Has Seeped Into the West
I grow more and more ashamed of my alma mater, Boston University, the more that the too-well-known airhead (otherwise known as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC) lets loose with her Socialist mantras that bedevils her “degree” in economics and international relationship.
SCOTUS on Senate Ethics Complaint Against Justice Clarence Thomas: A Unanimous “Up Yours!”
An Update: Well, perhaps not quite that direct but certainly, within the “politically polite” language used in DC (aka “my friends on the other side of the aisle” as they are shivving each other), a 9-0 unanimous vote against acceding to the whims of an (allegedly) co-equal Branch of government.
Chris Sununu Presidential Poll Watch – Week of 5/1/23
Well, Chris Sununu had some good news in the RealClearPolitics polling – his polling doubled! But as in all things, context is absolutely necessary. It’s like the Greenies when they boast that the amount of electricity from Renewables has doubled.
The Skip & Tom Weight Challenge – Week 8
Not a great week for me – it was bound to happen as I kinda fell off the wagon. Didn’t help either that Grokster Mike came up and we went out to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant here in the Lakes Region – El Jimador. So much for moderation! But, still over halfway there … Read more
Quick Thought: This is a SPLENDID Idea – Flipping the Left’s Linguistic Handcuffs
In a post that dealt more with Musk’s talking about a Swedish story about Transgender transitioning doesn’t lower the risk of suicide and that child sexual-organ mutilation is wrong, there was this:
Dylan Mulvaney’s Inner Trans-Authoritarianism Reveals Itself – Off With Your Head If You Call “He/Him/Prancing Dufus”
Bolder and stupider, this guy gets. Yes, that gay guy that has made millions from endorsements (for “celebrating 365 of womanhood”) from corporations seeking to up their ESG (Equity, Social, Governance) score.
Attacking SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas by Demanding a Democrat Spawned Code of Ethics
The Democrats hate him with a passion that is an order magnitude hotter than the surface of the Sun. They hated him when Joe Biden chaired the US Senate Judiciary Committee at the time and the heat has never stopped.
Democrat Deviancy / Degeneracy Watch: MN Transgender Legislator Puts in Legislation to Make Pedophilia Legal
The Left continues its Long March through our institutions, taking over values, norms, and standards, and turning them upside down and inside out. And they are relentless and I’m betting that they are even more enthused as they see their endgame coming into sight. Normal Americans have been under fire and beset 360 degrees by … Read more
NH Supreme Court Hearing – Manchester School District Transgender Lawsuit Hearing (and “Gandalf!”)
See if you can hear when “Gandalf” is used – an inside joke (heh!). Thursday was when the NH Supreme Court held the oral hearing in the Manchester School District case in which a mother caught the District lying (by omission) to her by not informing her that the District was aiding and abetting her … Read more
Quick Thought – So Another Prez Wannabee Throws His Hat Into The Ring
Another prez wannabee throws his hat into the ring and promptly does a one-point nose-dive into the floor. This is a great line: WHY?
Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – Blue States: We Own Your Kids! (And Joe Biden Agrees)
If your minor child goes to Washington or California (as other Blue States are looking to follow suit), they will give them puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and sexual organ mutilation surgery to make them “normal.” Short-term exuberance shortly followed by “What have I done??”. And then a realization by many (not all, but more and more) that their real problems were not their physical bodies but what was going on (or not) in their minds.
Government Decisions Have Consequence But It is Never Government People That Pay The Price
Even as they are in an energy pickle of their own making when the sun don’t shine, and the wind don’t blow “and not being able to import enough energy to stay afloat.” Tyranny by Green ideology and a complete buy-in on immiserating their subjects citizens.
YOU Are Going To Threaten ME If I “Follow You” Following My Wife Into a Public Bathroom?
To either of these men pretending they are women, all uppity about their “rights.” Sorry, you have no “trans rights.” NO right, as a male, to go into a women’s bathroom. And I’m not going to take the risk. So … What is it that I know about me that you should – but don’t?
Gilford Town Culvert Issue – the Damage to Private Property Can Be Seen Now That The Snow Is Gone
I wrote a while ago about the damage to my neighbor across the street when the culvert at our corner failed during the large rain storm a few months now. Little could be done due to the large snow storms that dumped too much “stuff” to even work on the road damage that so ripped … Read more
Transgender “Transitions” Solve Nothing, YouTube Still Censoring, And a Teacher Stands up for Biology – Stack of Stuff #44
Fast and furious, it continues. More stories/snippets of what’s ailing our education system and the children placed within it. First up, a realization that the social contagion that is affecting our young ones with the activists message of “a live trans boy or a dead daughter” isn’t holding as much water as they would have … Read more
