Germany, like Vermont, has some problems. They are both scrambling to meet arbitrary and unnecessary emissions targets. Stop laughing; they think this is serious. And like Vermont, Germany has unworkable laws with rules to get there from here, because the world might end if they can’t agree on how to massage or cheat them.
Not Me, Jason
If you want to understand why NHGOP House “leadership” believes it can ignore the priorities of actual GOP voters while instead pushing their decidedly non-GOP agenda … an obsession with legalizing marijuana, outlawing single-family zoning, increasing urban density, and catering to the rich and the elites (e.g., ending interest-and-dividends tax) while ignoring working people (no … Read more
Why the NH Senate Should ITL HB1291
Some elements in our state are trying to force longtime-established single-family zoned neighborhoods into multi-family neighborhoods. Their goal is to eradicate the suburbs and morph towns into cities.
Night Cap: The (not so) “Quiet Phase” of Campaigning
I’m guessing most of the Grok Faithful are familiar with the areas of interest of the regular contributors. A few examples would be Ann Marie Banfield and education or Claire Best and law enforcement/justice system corruption involving the youth center.
Neil Johnson (Lumberjack Logic Show) Exposing Corruption in New Hampshire
I was planning to wait for the site refresh to be completed to reboot the podcast page (GrokTV) with just podcasts, but Ken Eyring and Tom Murray just sent me an interview with our own Laurie Ortolano on government corruption (guess where!).
Is It Drought Season Yet?
Water, water everywhere, but get ready for odd, even watering bans. Yes, spring has sprung like a stripper from a giant cake as the whores in government line up to spring regulatory speed bumps at our summertime fun. Will water bans be part of it? Is the Pope a Marxist?
Resource Conservation … Leads to Price Hikes
One of the golden rules of dealing with proglodytes is that if it’s something you need or enjoy, they try to make it more expensive so you’ll have or use less of it. This manifests as sin taxes or, in the case of things like water or energy, they use fear as a policy to drive up costs, forcing you to use less.
Climate Farming Dreams are a Nightmare for Diners
A recent study of Burmese pythons concludes that snake meat is more efficient to produce than traditional livestock, making it a viable protein alternative to cows or pigs. Given the primeval human aversion to snakes, this menu item may be a harder sell even than crickets or faux-meat nuggets. However, the omissions and biases inherent … Read more

Celia Isn’t the Only One Breaking My Heart
In a previous article, I noted that I thought Attorney Celia Leonard was being coached by Attorney Bolton and his hired legal Dream Team on Wednesday, 4/10. The next day, I looked for a camera in Courtroom 3, as Mr Buckmire, the head of security advised me to mention in my request for footage.
NAVI Investor Maksym Krippa Buys BC Parus
Maksym Krippa is a renowned figure in the Ukrainian business landscape. AMCU approved the acquisition of the Parus business center through Ola Fine LLC, a company under the umbrella of ARS Capital.
Night Cap: Islam is a Faith of Surrender and Not That of Free Will
Whereas the practice of slavery enslaves the body, the dogma of apostasy ensnares the mind. Whereas slavery is a shameful practice of the past, some shameless religionists still use the doctrine of apostasy to intimidate and severely punish people who elect to choose their own beliefs.
New ‘Green’ Building Code to Dominate Housing Construction
The announcement of a “model” international building code might understandably elicit yawns. However, the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is cause for Americans to bolt upright and pay close attention. The vain imaginings of corporate and NGO “stakeholders” who propose to completely dominate American housing construction in the name of saving the planet promise … Read more
100 Years of Being Treated Like George Floyd, For What?
One thing that did not get defunded after the George Floyd/BLM Summer of Love was cop shows. There is no shortage of police or detective dramas extolling the intellectual agility of some quirky investigator with a physical or social disability. Or a team of racially and sexually diverse members who adroitly unravel complex conspiracies ripe … Read more
Obesity: Eating Less is Out – Drugs and Surgery Are In
There are a handful of systemic barriers to maintaining a healthy weight, but most involve cramming more food into your face than your system can handle. From to much food to food that’s bad for you, less of that is not a bad idea no matter what you weigh, but some public health experts are pushing in the other direction.
Marco Making The Fwee-Marketeers Big Mad
A thread (eleven in all) from Marco Rubio on X well worth reading. In my words, not his … we are a country, not an economy. This is heresy to free-market ideologues like the Koch-bots, who believe that the “free market” is the end, NOT the means to an end … that end being a stronger, more prosperous country for ALL Americans, not just for Wall Street and Big Tech and the corporatist/globalist class.
Dover, New Hampshire Calls for Cease Fire in Gaza
England Finds No Evidence for Transing Kids. Will Dartmouth Health Listen?
There is no sound evidence that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones improve mental health. “The reality is that we have no good evidence on the long-term outcomes of interventions to manage gender-related distress.”
Climate Fear, Rewilding, the Green New Deal, and Other Absurdities
One of the most prescient, intelligent, passionate voices defending rural lands and rural agriculture has been lifelong Democrat Wendell Berry (though Wendell will tell you that he has no allegiance to any one party). The current Democratic Party appears to have no use for the considered wisdom of this Kentucky farmer, just as it has abandoned Martin Luther King, Jr., Thomas Jefferson, and the Kennedy legacy.
Rand Paul Has The Courage To State The Obvious … No Difference Between Speaker Johnson And The Democrats
It is almost as if there are two Speaker Mike Johnsons. The Speaker Mike Johnson on X who calls out and criticizes the Biden-Regime … and the other Speaker Johnson, THE ONE THAT MATTERS, who passes and fully funds the Biden-Regime’s noxious, anti-American agenda, the very agenda that he claims to oppose.
