As a man [or woman], I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me “Privileged”, a racist & responsible for slavery.
WHO Says It is “rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual”
The World Health Organization has repeatedly screwed the pooch on this pandemic business, so maybe this is an effort at redemption? They are claiming that data from several countries doing contact tracing demonstrates that the odds of getting COVID-19 from someone who is asymptomatic is “very rare.“
Happy Birthday to Weekend Pundit!
Weekend Pundit was one of the first blogs to link to us when GraniteGrok’s doors opened to the InterTubes in 2006. And now, it has achieved what few have – the age of majority (heh!):
Unanimous Verdict in State Supreme Court – Gov. Whitmer Exceeded her Authority
Michigan Barber Karl Manke opened his shop in defiance of Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s decree. She rewarded this by sending six officers to shut him down, pulling his license and fining him. Manke appealed to the State Supreme Court, which unanimously sided with Manke.
FB Doodlings – Who chooses?
In almost all things, I try to view events or happenings of the day from base Principles. I guess it is the engineer in me combined with having watched, as a political blogger, too many politicians, and bureaucrats say and do say lots of words to get you to “oh, ok” WITHOUT necessarily allowing you to realize “ok…WHAT???”
Two of the 45 Declared Goals of Communism in America Relate to Mobs and Local Policing
Once again, we can return to the work of Cleon Skousen’s Naked Communist for guidance on the day’s events. Skousen’s list had been prophetic, and the recent “unrest” is no different.
As Old Media Shifts Focus Online GraniteGrok Continues to Dominate the Space
Several of New Hampshire’s ‘Newspapers’ have gone *begging for donations to stay afloat. Some have shifted more content online and abandoned 7-days a week print editions. With an increasing shift to digital, how has GraniteGrok’s dominance held up?
A Majority of the Minneapolis City Council Announce Intent to Entirely Defund the Police
Coming soon to a Democrat city near you. More crime in the Black Community! At least that seems to be the trend when activists make a scene, and law enforcement “pulls back” as a result. Minneapolis, the epicenter of the recent protests, has decided to go one better. They plan to disband the police, so what does that mean?
Carlos Cardona is a Shameless Liar
So back in March, I posted LOCK HIM UP – Carlos Cardona Should Be Incarcerated, which mocked Democrats in general and Cardona in particular for treating biological sex as an artificial construct. More specifically, I seized upon a tweet by Cardona calling Julian Castro the “only Latino running” and went on an obviously tongue-in-cheek rant … Read more
Last November Antifa Announced it Was ‘Going to War’ – Guess what? This is Probably it!
Last year when China was trying to figure out how to hide the COVID outbreak Antifa announced that it was going to war. Refuse Fascism.org published an article explaining that they were going to end the Trump-Pence Regime.
Thank You Riots – You Just Activated Tens of Millions of Americans to Reject Local Political Lockdowns
The sleeping beast is not what you think. It’s middle of the road voting Americans. Those so-called moderates who, regardless of race, voluntarily follow the rules, even when they feel there’s something fishy. But law-abiding citizens got a taste of the left’s hypocrisy sandwich with the protests and riots, and I’m betting they are not amused.
Here’s How Nashua High School Graduation Exercises Can be Held
Ok. It’s time. No more excuses. Mass-vigils are being held – including the well-attended vigil Saturday evening at Greely Park. Mass protests are common. The governor is opening up the state. It’s time for Nashua High School graduation exercises to be held.
Andrew Cline: The Lockdown and the Government’s Fragile Power
In the “Merv Griffin Show” episode of Seinfeld, George hits some pigeons with his car after they didn’t fly away at the last second. “It’s not my fault,” George complains to Jerry. “Don’t we have a deal with the pigeons?”
ACLU-NH Trans Justice Organizer: Burn Books, Throw People out of Protests
The ACLU-NH Trans Justice Organizer Palana Belken is furious that JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, is standing up for the truth that men can’t be women and women can’t be men. He is so furious that he removed all his Harry Potter books from his bookshelf and threatens to burn them.
NH’s Main Street Relief Fund – Something is better than nothing but this is just about nothing
Sure, given that this economic pandemic is totally Government created, Gov. Sununu has been whipping his Main Street Relief Fund to help small business. GraniteGrok is a small business, sorta – we have some revenues (donations and some sponsored posts) but not even to the level of 5 digits. It pays the bills and helps … Read more
This Rot we’re Seeing with BLM Riots Started in Our School Systems.
Now that you’ve seen the mayhem in action, where is this coming from? Why does it appear to be mainly young people who are rioting and expressing their Marxist views? LOOK NO FURTHER THAN YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL.
If It’s OK for Antifa to Suppress Speech That Could “Lead to Violence,” What About Speech Antifa Uses to Commit Violence?
If Free speech must be suppressed by Antifa to prevent the potential for violence, shouldn’t protests by BLM used by Antifa to perpetrate violence be suppressed too?
So, both politicians and healthcare ‘experts’ waive social gathering restrictions for BLM rioting?
Need to ask Governor Baby Huey – he seems to share this distinction: ReOpenNH bad, Black Lives Matter good. Protesting for our Constitutional values bad, protesting on “Feelings…nothing more than feelings…” and social justice.
Vermont to Allow Indoor Dining Begining Monday
It’s hard to believe Vermont continues to be ahead of us on this. Their Republican Gov. (Phil Scott) would typically make Chris Sununu look a lot more ‘Republica.’ But Gov. Scott is already opening indoor dining. Beginning Monday, Restaurants will be able to seat to 25% of capacity.
A Tale of Two Men… Judged only by “ the Content of their Character”
George Floyd has become a national martyr. But most people have never heard of David Dorn (and due to our poisonously biased media, the majority never will). Mr. Dorn was the retired, 77-year-old St. Louis police captain who was shot and killed by a group of six marauding thugs.
