NH State Senator Bob Guida’s Agenda (For Gunstock Area Commissioners)

The Daily Sun continues its support of the Citizens for Gunstock by featuring an opinion piece by senator Giuda.  While calling out others for dishonesty, he uses incorrect references for support.

Another Democrat Vote Buying Program Emerges Before the Elections

Just as the Dems are using various measures to make sure crime pays, they are also thinking of ways to make people “comfortable” being poor.  They need to, because poverty is the lifeblood of the Democrat Party. Without high levels of poverty, the Democrat Party would wither away.  This is why they implement policies that guarantee poverty will be sustained at a high level, and then offering “free” poverty-related benefits to ensure the votes will keep rolling in.

DISQUS Doodlings: Socialism Disavows Individual Responsibility – The Old “Makers vs Takers” Connundrum

Note: No, not me this time but from “Vindaloo Bugaboo”, also a frequent commenter at Treehugger who would fit in well here at GraniteGrok.  I liked what he wrote at one of TH those posts and asked if he’d “translate” it for GraniteGrok. And no, I had no input in that commenting series as he was doing so splendidly well!

As a child, one of my favorite bedtime stories my mum would read me was the 1974 Scholastic Books classic, “Little Red Hen” by Paul Galdone.

Diesel and Food

I wrote this 10 days ago and now we have the baby formula problem to add to the food shortages.

While I understand the importance of protecting our freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, we should be gravely concerned with outrageous energy prices and the “under the radar” war on our food supply.

The year was 1992. It had been thirteen years since college graduation and the newly board-certified Urologic surgeon finally had achieved society’s green light to care for human beings. Thirty years later he had seen much of what the medical world could offer; surviving the journey by relying on his training, continued learning, and a time-tested medical method to solve complicated problems.

By Golly, We’re Living in a Perfect Storm

Not long ago, many of us saw the movie ‘The Perfect Storm’, where a surprisingly perfect storm pattern of battling low-pressure systems catches some commercial fishermen unaware and puts them in mortal danger, washing one ship and crew away forever.

Hi I Don't Care PInterest bakadesuyojpg

Cross-posted from Weekend Pundit: “I Don’t Care”

With Permission from DCE: “I don’t care.” This has become my response to a lot of issues that are allegedly plaguing our society. Not all of them, but a lot of them. I find that almost all of the ‘woke’ issues are ones I care less and less about. My reason is that so many … Read more
