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.
So McDonald’s Thinks It Can Force “Ordering Compliance”?
Last week, the Grandson had to have a tooth removed (lower front as his permanent tooth had erupted behind that baby tooth) and a couple of cavities filled. TMEW promised him that later on that day, we’d take him to McDonald’s. Well, that didn’t happen as he, like many kids his age, bit his lower … Read more
Announcement: GilfordGrok is now LakesRegionGrok!
When Doug and I started GraniteGrok, things were fine and dandy as we were blogging about State and National level issues (for the most part). Then we discovered that wasn’t holding water any more as we found, under the rubric of “What’s happening in our town is happening in yours”, we took a look backwards and saw that we were doing more Gilford politics than not. Figuring that folks might not like that emphasis, we started our first “MicroGrok” (even as we didn’t think of it in that fashion) in starting GilfordGrok. We now announce that it is growing up: LakesRegionGrok.
Salon Blames Baby Formula Shortage on Climate Change To Avoid Telling the Truth
Supply chain issues are mounting, exacerbated by numerous policy choices going back years, but that’s too much detail. You can’t be expected to understand that. Besides, The Net-Zero Intelligence Left has chosen to blame climate change.
School Board Assoc. “Bails” on Transgender Policy – Abandons Districts Facing Lawsuits from Parents
The New Hampshire School Board Association has bailed on its policy JBABA, the transgender guidance proposed to NH districts a few years back, leaving districts facing lawsuits in the lurch. That would be SAU16 (Exeter), SAU37 (Manchester), and SAU73 (Gilford).
Mom “Reporter” Live Outside Her 2-Year Olds Bedroom
I don’t know how many “takes” it took but this ‘mom’ looks like a natural as she gives us a spot-on street reporter news update “Live from outside her son’s bedroom,” on an “Incident at the Olive Garden.”
New Post-Psaki Era is Not Good News
I am not a fan of outgoing White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. She was condescending and arrogant. She lacked credibility for someone who claimed to represent the most transparent administration in history, and her comments were often rebuked. She often gave the impression that she was not the spokesperson but was calling the shots. … Read more
The Tough Sh!t Act
Not too long ago I was sitting in a regular meeting of a regional Republican committee, listening to (mostly older) people talk about how schools have changed over the years — since they were in school, and since their kids were in school. One guy said that when his kids wanted to play baseball or football, he had to pay for their uniforms, help pay for travel, and so on. Someone asked him:
Sunday Spotlight: Tulsi Gabbard
Each Sunday, I want to take a step away from daily politics and focus on someone who has done extraordinary things or who we may need to know a little better. This week’s focus is on Tulsi Gabbard.
Chuck and Kevin Are Giving Hassan a Free Pass on the Ukraine Grift
My recent post about the latest Ukraine grift, the House passing … over the “no” votes of ONLY 57 Republicans … $40 billion MORE to go into that Black Hole known as aid-to-Ukraine, has generated some interest.
Survival Sunday
First, remember I am merely an “enlightened amateur” as far as anything survival goes. Please vet & check on your own. Consider these to be priming the pump for your own investigations.
What if We Follow the “Science” of ‘Big Pharma’ Kickbacks to NIH “Scientists”
If Don Trump Jr were getting checks from pharmaceutical reps to pimp Ivermectin, that’d be big news. You’d have a hard time not knowing about it. Public interest, and all that. So, where is the 24/7/365, wall-to-wall, “breaking news” coverage of this?
Is Your Public School Pushing Your Child Toward Suicide?
In this short clip from Dr. Gary Thompson, he explains the severe damage caused to children when they are blamed and shamed. That can happen when Critical Race Theory apologists push that radicalized hate-filled political agenda in the classroom.
Biden Makes Progress On His Pledge To Unify America …
Credit where credit is due, okay? President Biden is following through on Candidate Biden’s pledge to unify the country. His regime-change, proxy war against Russia has unified most of Congress.
Did Gunstock Area Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch Really Believe That Chair Peter Ness Would Do as He Demanded about GraniteGrok?
I mentioned this email by GAC Commish Kiedaisch complaining about GraniteGrok during the last segment of GrokTALK! (YAY! We’re BACK!) that we recorded last Monday (with special guest Rob Russell of 2A Tactical who is also suffering from similar political action in Barrington).
Quick Thought: So, Ukrainians Don’t Have to Pay Taxes on Captured Russian Tanks or Such?
Other than Letters of Marque in the US Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 11: To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water”), I can’t remember the IRS putting out such a notice that if you take an enemy’s stuff off the battlefield, you don’t have to report it.
How Did Putin Get Biden to Shut Down America’s Largest Domestic Oil and Gas Lease Sale Last Week?
If everything is Vladimir Putin’s fault, we might want to consider why he has so much influence over America but only since Joe Biden became president? Any takers? Okay, let’s try something a bit easier.
Gender Pay Gap Compromise – a Company Funded Junket to an Abortion Hotspot
I was recently reminded that I was attacked at a candidates’ event several years ago for telling the truth about the so-called “gender gap.” You can’t just divide the total number of women working by their salary and compare that to the total number of men working divided by theirs.
Notable Quote – So What Do Property, Prices, and Profit Have to Do with Each Other?
Absent the three Ps of property, prices, and profit and loss, individuals will be devoid of the incentives and information required to continually innovate and coordinate their plans to realize the gains from trade and the gains from innovation.
Open Letter to Representative Pat Long (D) Manchester
Dear Rep. Long: I have been an active parental rights advocate in New Hampshire for about 20 years now. During this time, I have never received a dime in compensation. I advocate on behalf of parents in New Hampshire because it’s the right thing to do.
