Not too long ago, a Grok post made a couple of interesting claims. First, that ‘people are not innocent victims if they are injured in the struggle to arrest them’. Second, that ‘to protect the public, police are charged to complete an arrest even if there is resistance’.
I beg to differ with both claims.
Gosh, what an eye-opener, given that all the folks that are virtue-yelling at the rest of us are Fine Upstanding People of the Progressive Nature. They are the ones that are wailing about their White Guilt and yet here they are opposing a school integration program with poor kids of color.
Joe Biden has settled on Kamala Harris as his VP choice, and I’m as surprised as anyone – I predicted it. Given that I stink at that, this is an unusual twofer, maybe even the “breaking news.” Last year I said Biden would be the nominee. A few months ago, I said Harris would be his VP. Well, what do you know?
Recently, Reason published an article based on this analogy: ‘If a Walmart doesn’t reopen, families can take their food stamps elsewhere. If a school doesn’t reopen, families should similarly be able to take their education dollars elsewhere.’
As Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit said, “This is cool”. Yes, and otherwordly beautiful as well. “SpaceX Falcon 9 Creates a ‘twilight phenomenon. This is breathtaking.”
Companies will already know about contract management to some degree. Perhaps they are making use of a manual system already. If this sounds familiar, the business could benefit from an automated, computerised system which streamlines the whole process. Contract collections can be managed more efficiently, and templates and clauses can be standardised and obtained more … Read more
Think the headline is wrong? Read on and meet police officer Joseph Mensah. You can decide for yourself if this says everything a person needs to know. But I think you will understand from their actions that lives don’t matter to BLM.
In these polarized times, social media has become a battleground. We all have friends who are, shall we say, outspoken. But what if that outspoken individual happens to be a candidate for office?
Democrats love taxes because they love spending. There’s no such thing as enough spending or taxes to pay for it. To that point, Massachusetts is taxing remote workers in New Hampshire. CNBC asked Gov. Sununu about it, and the NH Dems decided to make it about their Family Medical Leave Bill.
Although he was Swiss, I think Americans have always seen William Tell as a kindred spirit, a person who would refuse to bow to arbitrary authority, no matter how high the stakes. So it seems natural to wonder: If William Tell were alive today, and if he were commanded to put on a mask rather than take off a hat, would he comply?
One of the few things I remember from my elementary school social studies classes was learning about ‘slash-and-burn agriculture’. I was thinking about that today, as a friend was lamenting all the progressives who are fleeing cities where ‘peaceful protests’ are taking place, and heading for rural areas… like my friend’s town in New Hampshire. … Read more
BLM is creating an opportunity where policing is concerned, in much the same way that COVID-19 is creating an opportunity where public schooling is concerned. Each is an opportunity for systemic restructuring of an institution that over time has been turned, not just away from its legitimate purpose, but against that purpose.
Last week, I wrote about Bob Clegg’s work for “Decriminalize Sex Work”, an organization that paid him to lobby against HB 201, a bill that would have provided increased penalties to people who pay to rape children. He and his partner received $48,000 from this organization for lobbying on their behalf for 2019.
This ad is actually a fempto-documentary – the things that are in it can easily be found online from that the unions themselves have either said or written to School Boards around the nation.
Islam, with its barbaric exclusionary and primitive Bedouin Arab dogma, overtook Iran in the 7th century and brutally strove to replace the traditional lofty Iranian beliefs in human rights and diversity.
Here are some founders’ examples. They did not just talk the talk. They walked the walk. The founders had the vision to create a new system of government. It was something never seen before in world history. They built a nation. They separated from the unjust rule of England and went to something more and … Read more
Is it a good thing when a young boy who grows up with a strong father as a role model? How does a boy who grows up without a father who leads by example of how to love his wife learn that? How does that boy learn to shepherd his children? Will he learn to make sacrifices that benefit both?
Dear Dr. Ryan,
After reading through my Right-to-Know request and looking at the information provided, I wanted to finally follow up with an e-mail.
Nancy Pelosi went on the Clinton News Network (CNN) and almost told the whole truth. We had to settle for a half-truth. She admitted that China would prefer Biden won but then said, well, China’s not doing anything this election.
While not an official GraniteGrok endorsement, all GraniteGrok writers have the authority to personally endorse people for elected office they feel best to fill that particular position. I am taking advantage of that now for the NH House of Representatives. The first three are in my District: Belknap County 2 (Gilford/Meredith). Glenn, Harry, and Mike … Read more
