Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said this week that Joe Biden can be manipulated. Joe Biden is already in the process of turning his political agenda hard left. And she intends to move him in a more Leftist direction. All they have to do is get him elected. Stay with me here.
The Democrat Party Destroys Everything They Touch
You have read it here dozens if not hundreds of times. Democrats destroy everything they touch. Families, cities, governments. There is no shortage of examples, many recently exacerbated by their incompetent handling of COVID19, “peaceful” protests, energy, and forest management.
So, White People are Racists Because OWNING DOGS!?
The Left gets stupider by the day – and then opens its Collective mouth to dispel all doubt. I’m going to put the entire post up so you can see the UTTER ridiculousness and wrongness.
Palate Cleanser – “How an AK-47 Works”
While an AK-47 is not my firearm of choice, I do have to say that this CGI video is very well done and clearly shows the important parts of the firing mechanisms at work. For just over two minutes of your time, it’s worth the watch: (H/T: I forget)
Pelosi threatens to impeach both Trump and Kavanaugh to block new Trump SCOTUS nominee – really?
Well, the night of Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death I said that it was time to just wish her family condolences and not engage in the politics. I also said that the wargaming would start afterwards. Well, some people didn’t wait at all and pretty much all HE-double-hockey-sticks has broken out all over. I Slack’d Steve … Read more
St. Joe’s Weekend Getaway for One
Nothing says good times like a weekend overnight at a local Hospital. The 4 am, 5 am, and 6 am wake up calls. Frequent Blood draws BP and temperature checks. And the chest hair removal (as they pull off those sticky things to which they connect the heart monitor leads). Good times. But then I asked for it.
Blogline of the Day – nice turn of phrase
From Facebook, on Doris’s post “In Emergency Order #69, Sununu Packs the Public Health Ethics Committee” is this from Mary Anderson: 2020: Flu d’etat to Coup d’etat Too often, it does feel this way in that too many “people in charge” have seen a lifting of regular Constitutional Republic norms (e.g., “stay Constitutional”) and a … Read more
Notable Quote – Liberty?
How can liberty be anything other than negative? Liberty is the absence of external control. Only in our age of collective thinking and untidy language could such a thing as “positive liberty” be conceived. The state power to coerce is not liberty. -Bruce Walker (Negative Liberties and Obama Newspeak) Because Socialists never talk about that in … Read more
Nashua Alderman Vote Tomorrow to Force Businesses to Be the Mask Police
On September 10, the majority on the Nashua Aldermanic Personnel/Administrative Affairs Committee voted in favor of an updated mask ordinance that would force Nashua businesses to be the mask police, with a penalty of up to $1,000 for non-compliance.
Data Point – and where does all that Federal money go?
Yesterday I posted up, in another Data Point, the absolutely horrendous amount of money that the Federal Government has been spending and what levels (or is that depths) that the National Debt as gone to – enslaving our children, their children, and their childrens’ children into indentured servitude to the US Government. It has been … Read more
A Bleg for Steve Mac Donald, if you would
UPDATE and BUMPED: I’m happy to announce that Steve is now home and doing better. Whatever it was (and the medical folks are unsure), it was not a heart attack or effects from the first one. As he wrote, everything is in the green. ************** As most of you know, Steve had a heart attack … Read more
“Teachers would beam with pride”
The spoon-fed, spoiled, rich kids toppling statues in Minneapolis on behalf of a phony cause has given me an idea. They want national attention. They want to replace American history with one they have drummed up. The baby anarchists yearn for a future of “justice” where everyone is equal. How about this: Buy up the … Read more
Data Point – Americans believe a SCOTUS opening should be filled this year
I did not see this coming: A new poll conducted shortly before the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg revealed that an overwhelming majority of U.S. adults of all political stripes supported holding hearings for a nominee if a vacancy opened on the nation’s highest bench. Marquette University released the survey results on Saturday … Read more
ICYMI – Trump has been nominated for TWO Nobel Peace Prizes
Yep, the first one I caught here for the agreement that he and Jared Kuchner (+ others) forged between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Bahrain also joined in with Trump saying that other Arab nations may join in. Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament and chairman of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, … Read more
Well, as Glenn Reynolds says, this IS the 21st Century? Novel way to kill cancer cells
Actually, a way to have the cells kill themselves, sorta, sideways. By taking advantage of the changes in the environment inside ONLY cancer cells, a new mechanism hits the “Big Death Button”. Every cells has a mechanism by which it kills itself off – but this is certainly new in how scientists are turning it … Read more
The Leftist Narrative is Leading us into Danger
Today America is under assault from the Leftist narrative. The police, for example, today are living under a narrative of lies. This is different from the conditions in any other profession. Police motivation, as a group, is largely the desire to help people. However, the story the media is telling is the exact opposite. The … Read more
Free Trade vs National Defense
As even recent readers of GraniteGrok know, I like short (er, mostly short) snippets of what someone has said or written that make what I think is an important idea that I label as “Notable Quote”. Many are just a couple of sentences – a few have multiple paragraphs but in either format, express ideas … Read more
Is That Manner of “Mask Wearing” Democrat Party Approved (Majority Leader Ley)?
For all of the yammering by the Democrat Party and its NH House leaders over the 50 or so Republican Representatives that went without masks in the “Freedom” section, you’d think that they would have thought about the blowback: glasshouses, throwing stones, and all that.
Why Doesn’t the Media Report on Dark Money Politics?
Why doesn’t the media report on dark money politics? Everyone understands it exists. Many treat the subject like the boogeyman. OOOooohhhhh… we can’t go there. Well, why the hell not? We want clean elections; we have to know who is putting the money into the campaigns. Let’s stop being hypocrites. Billionaire financier George Soros is … Read more
Quick Thought – Republican “packing” or Democrat “packing” – which is worse?
With the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the Democrats have threatened, like FDR did, to “pack the Court” by adding new Justices if Trump and the Republicans ram through a replacement for RBG as soon as possible. Governor Sununu, as Grokster Doris pointed out (In Emergency Order #69, Sununu Packs the Public Health … Read more
