Electric Vehicles are expensive and not green, but an even bigger insult is the taxpayer-backed incentives to get one. EV buyers are high-income earners, which makes them high-income emitters looking to buy a bit of virtue signaling.

NH Dems Try To Ban Guns at the State House
The New Hampshire House Republican majority is razor thin, so you might expect NH Dems to peel off a few wins on crucial votes. Wednesday, they had their first opportunity as the chamber voted on rules changes, but it wasn’t their best day.
It’s Not Getting Warmer …

Memory Lane: Remember How They Tried to Treat the Unvaccinated?
A new debate has risen across the social media landscape. Not just not forgiving them but returning their “kindness: in kind. I’m speaking about how the vaxxed ‘treated’ or talked about the unvaccinated.
Extinction Rebellion Decides To Stop Gluing Themselves To Things
Extinction Rebellion takes mainstream climate money to appear edgy and different. They are actually just another social justice movement using fake-climate fearmongering to push left-wing cultural engineering. A milquetoast indifference they’ve worked hard to overcome.
Matt Gaetz Explains The Hold Up in the Vote to Elect a Speaker in the US House
To quote myself, from a piece published last night at NH Journal, “Everyone runs on bringing change to Washington DC, but nothing changes. Maybe the folks forgot what change might look like or what was required to get it, and now that it’s here, they find they don’t have the stomach for it.
CDC Identified Hundreds of COVID19 Vaccine Safety Signals – Ignored Them or Hid Them
The CDC knew about hundreds of safety signals related to the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines* but didn’t want you to know. The EPOCH Times had to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to claw them into the light.
Tall People are Killing The Planet
In 1977 one of the most popular songs on the radio was Short People by Randy Newmann, who says it had nothing to do with height. It did to everyone who sang it to 4’11 me (cue the late 70’s equivalent of Nelson Muntz), but then I grew 6 inches that summer. Six inches in three months. I slept and ate.
Guy Whose Job Title Includes a ‘Harmful Word’ Admits, Stanford “May Have Missed The Mark” With Their ‘Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative’
Last week we shared news about the Stanford IT department speech police issuing a language guide. For the good of the community until they walked it back the next day (something about the backlash after the Wall Street Journal took it wide) /snicker.
More than 1 in 4 Adults Know Someone Whose Death (They Believe) Was Caused by a COVID-19 Vaccine
Are increasing numbers of US adults seeing the light on the risks associated with the Pizer and Modera mRNA vaccines? In a recent survey, more than one in four say they know someone personally who died from the side effects, while 48% of adults are concerned about vaccine injury.
New Research Confirms Almost No One Was in Grave Danger from COVID-19
We’re always looking for ways to poke the COVID-response apologists in their rheumy third eye, and this is a doozy. A pile of global data has been crunched that proves the fearmongers wrong. Almost no one was in grave danger from COVID-19.
Massachusetts Helps New Hampshire Widen Its Advantage
Yesterday I mentioned Vermont and its habit of making New Hampshire more desirable but let’s not forget Massachusetts, a leader in advancing the New Hampshire Advantage. Effective January first, it is enforcing a new tax on millionaires that could benefit the Granite State.
Would You Drive an EV if You Knew The Human Cost?
The next time you bump into a green-energy, electric vehicle futurist who seems a bit too committed to the Net-Zero lie, take a deep breath and then ask them this. So, you’re okay with the human trafficking and slavery required to make that possible?
11th Circuit: Separating Bathrooms Based on Sex Doesn’t Violate the Constitution or Title IX
For the next five minutes, something like common sense just emerged from the bowels of the 11th Circuit Court of appeals. The case is Adams v. Sch. Bd. of St. Johns Cty, questioning whether the school board violated transgender student rights.
Vermont Helps New Hampshire Widen Its Advantage
Vermont’s mandated state minimum wage is rising today to 13.18 an hour. That’s, the new legislators know better what starting labor is worth to job creators rate. All in the name of whatever it is their supporters claim these wage mandates do.
Another Electric Vehicle Fail: NYC EV Trucks Run Out of Juice Plowing the Streets
New York City uses its garbage trucks to plow snow. The Big Crapple is also hot to electrify the entire fleet, and why not? Who should be more climate #woke than the city that never sleeps? But someone is having nightmares after discovering the two are incompatible—electric trucks and plowing snow.
The ‘Grok Top 5 Posts for 2022
There were over 4300 new published posts on GraniteGrok.com in 2022 and millions of page views despite the hurdles thrown at us by Big Tech. And we covered more subjects than I could guess.
Another Huge Win for Ivermectin
This seems like medically dense material, but my layman’s tweak is that researchers found a new key to SARS CoV2, and IVM (Ivermectin) blocks it “when added to RBCs [red blood cells] prior to spike protein and reversed HA (hemagglutination) when added afterward.”
Religious Intolerance at The University of New Hampshire (UNH)
UNH typically gets good marks from groups like FIRE for free speech that, in my opinion, they do not deserve. UNH may put policies in writing that sell a commitment to open and free expression, but the entire campus culture stands on the intolerance baked into identity politics.
