Offshore Wind and New Hampshire – An Opportunity to Listen and be Heard
If you missed the recent ‘Grok coverage on offshore wind, you can catch up here. Wind Power is not any of the things they say and mostly things they will not, and a plan to put turbines off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire is moving ahead despite the long list of negatives.
‘Experts’ Said ‘Global Warming’ Would ‘Affect’ Island Nations And They Were Right…
Island nations like the Maldives quickly lined up for handouts when the Global Warming Cult got its sea legs. In the decades since that overlubricated wheel still grinds and screeches despite the very real fact that these places are not getting swallowed by Poseidon’s climate rage—quite the opposite.
Uber and Lyft Promise to Leave after Democrat City Council Meddles With Wages
Political meddlers like to mess with everything, including ride-share companies. Early on, it was to protect cab companies that exercised political power to retain their cartel. Later, when and where that didn’t work, the busybodies put their dirty fingers in the wage pie. You don’t pay your drivers enough. We’re making you pay them more.
Iran’s Mullahs Are Retaliating Against Israel – How Does Biden Benefit?
Iran’s Mullah Military (IRGC) has acknowledged sending scores of military drones in targeted attacks on Israel in response to Israel’s attack on Iranians in Syria. The game is on people, and escalation is the word that matters.
In Lily Tang Williams vs. David Hogg – Williams Wins with 2A TKO!
Despite what the union leader says (and later had to correct), Lily Tang Willaims was the first Republican in the race for New Hampshire Congressional District Two. She’s been campaigning for a long time in the run-up to the 2024 contest without much support from the GOP or attention from the local media.
New Republic Gets Pissy After Alabama Says Biden Might Not Be On Its November Ballot
You’d have to have been trapped under a very large rock to have missed the months of debate over a handful of states trying to keep Donald Trump off their primary ballot. He led an insurrection, they said, so that Constitution-thing they typically loath demanded they act … like ignorant partisan children.
Biden’s Stenographer Releases Unauthorized Tell All – Says Biden Should Be In Prison
Mike McCormick’s “The Case to Impeach And Imprison Joe Biden” has been out for a few months, but the uniparty has not tried to have him killed. Sorry, I meant to say Mike has not committed suicide. McCormick was Biden’s stenographer for four years and traveled with him around the world. He’s seen things.
NH House Republican Attendance for the Week of 4-11-2024 (It Was Quite Good, Actually!)
The NH House was back for a session this week to vote for and against things that matter much more than they should, and we’ve got the receipts.
Public Health Messaging Your Local Media Continues to Get Wrong … And Everything Else!
A general search of New Hampshire’s watchdog media continues to suggest that they are not so interested in the truth as they are in appeasing the political powers they should keep in check. A sort of, but I’ll lose my sources if I tell too much truth. We at the ‘Grok could care less.
Night Cap: Local GOP Makes a Dent with 2024 Town Election
My town, Merrimack, holds its SB2 elections later than most. Town election season in New Hampshire begins while the snow still flies and peaks in March, so an early April poll date is late for supper.
So, When They “Cheat on You,” You’re Supposed to Say, Thank You
So-called solutions to the housing issue have spawned some heated debate on our pages. I’m not weighing in on that here. What I am doing is using it to talk about a different problem. Republicans are getting mad at people who expect them to adhere more closely to traditional Republican principles.
Woke Pope Comes Out … Against Trans-Surgery and Gender Theory
Pope Francis of the Left is a reliable progressive advocate. He is so bad that there is likely talk in the church of a schism the likes of which we’ve not seen in centuries. Francis has come out on the wrong side of just about every issue until now.
The “Enduring American Tradition of Firearms Regulation ” Defense … Went About as Well As You’d Expect.
In 2022, the State of Washington, rather than punishing only criminals who bring more than ten rounds of ammunition to a crime, took its hoplophbia out on everyone by prohibiting the sale of “large capacity” magazines to anyone in the state.
Ask Me Anything!
Yesterday, we announced the return of the comment of the week contest. Today, I’m adding something new—well, new to us. A reader and commenter suggested we try this, so here goes.
Something Else Don Lemon and Ilhan Omar Have In Common
There is a long list of things that any two high-profile tin-foil-hat Proglodytes will have in common. A preference for high crime, poverty, and chaos, for example (in your neighborhood, not theirs). But now, former CNN talking head Don Le′mon and congress-critter Ilhan Omar share another hypocrisy.
Comment of the Week Is Back!
After some thought and a month away from the thing, I’ve decided to bring the comment of the week back with a prize to whoever gets chosen. It is true that the last few winners never reached out to get their free goody, but that’s not a good enough reason to scrap it.
Daily Mail Report Looks Like a “List” of US States You Should Get the Hell Out Of …
Perhaps without intending to, a recent article in the UK Daily Mail reported on a list of states that Real™ Americans need to either take back now or make plans to exit soon!
Are Transgender Sex Workers Adversely Affected by Climate Change or Responsible For It?
The UK Independent has published a ‘very serious piece’ on the state of the world today. Something we should all consider a threat to social justice. Climate change is being blamed for the extended rainy season in Indonesia, and Trans-Sex workers say, “It is very hard to make money during that unpredictable weather.”
Master of Eclipse Calculations Says Monday’s Totality Path Has Moved
If you are traveling to catch a glimpse of the upcoming Solar eclipse, make sure you’re well into the projected path. Eclipse expert John Irwin says the original map—the path of the shadow of totality—has moved.
