As promised in my recent GraniteGrok op-ed we held a successful pro-life rally outside “Pride Night” for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats on July 5 in Manchester.
CNHT – The MicroInterviews: Jody Underwood
The last MicroInterview from the CNHT Annual Picnic was with Jody Underwood. She holds a Ph.D and is the current Chair of the School District Governance Association of NH which is dedicated to educating School Board and Budget Committee members as to what their Powers are based on NH’s Statutes (the “RSAs”). We talk about … Read more
CNHT Picnic – Andy Martin
I have to give props to Ed Naile, Chairman of the Coalition for NH Taxpayers. Pretty much anyone that asks gets to speak to the crowd either trying to convince the activists to either vote for them (or help them!) or to advocate for their cause (and a whole lot of them coming up soon). Andy … Read more
CNHT Picnic: Steve Negron
Steve Negron was the next speaker at the Annual CNHT Picnic held a week ago. He won the US Congressional Primary for NH’s Second Congressional District back in 2016 – and yes, we at GraniteGrok endorsed him in that race. Unfortunately, he lost to the incumbent Progressive, Ann Kuster, who spent a big part of … Read more
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Gets Smoked by Thomas Homan former Acting Director of ICE
I guarantee that this is one of the best exchanges on Capitol Hill you will read all day. Commie-Princess Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gets taken to the woodshed by the former head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Thomas Homan.
Inside (Bill O’Brien) or Outside (GraniteGrok) – Which is Better for Influencing Politics in NH? Part 3
Here’s the next to last (aka, third) of our four part series on if it is better to be on the inside of politics here in NH doing “the actual work” or being on the outside influencing those on the outside as well as those on the inside. Two person panel at this year’s Porkfest: … Read more
CNHT – The MicroInterviews: Commenter Kathleen
As Steve noted here, our readership is still rising in numbers. However, one thing is constant – commenter “SB”. She is one of our biggest boosters of GraniteGrok and for that, we are grateful. She was at last Saturday’s CNHT Picnic so I grabbed her (Figuratively! Nicely!) to ask what I was asking everyone else … Read more
Sharia: Allah’s Will… Past, Present and Future
Islam is a complete civilization. It has a detailed political and legal code. That code is called the Sharia. It is an all-encompassing way of life. Sharia is the Islamic tool which takes everything about each subject and codifies it into an ordered system. What Sharia covers… Every aspect of life finds a place in Sharia. … Read more
A Poll Question Where I Actually Agree With 64% of Democrats
Burning the American flag is offensive to me. And it is my opinion that doing so has side-effects for which you should be prepared. But I do not believe the practice should be punished by the state, which means I agree with 64% of Democrats on something.
Antrim Environmentalists Lose to Antrim Environmentalists – Bird Choppers are a Go!
Green energy is the future if you have the brain of a bird but are not a bird. Smart people know wind and solar are not the answer unless the question is how do I cripple local economies and punish people by making energy more unaffordable and less reliable?
1,600 Massachusetts Drivers Have Their Licenses Suspended Following Deadly New Hampshire Crash
The tragic deaths of seven people in New Hampshire have dominated the news for weeks. Mowed down by a Ukrainian man in a truck towing a trailer. The investigation has led to a not-so-startling discovery. Government bureaucracies suck, and then people die. Oops. Sorry about that. We’ll be sure to spend more money looking into … Read more
Armed Home Invaders vs AR-15 Armed Homeowner Goes About as Well as You’d Expect
A Summerfield Florida man suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen after exchanging fire with intruders in his Summerfield Florida home. The home invaders didn’t fare so well.
Latest Trump Accuser Has a Problem: Video Does Not Support Her Description of ‘Unwanted Kiss’
In the age of partisan hysteria, the evil Left has corrupted more than a few weak souls with promises of gold and riches (or lots of attention and earned media) if they say bad things about Donald Trump. So far, Trump keeps winning. As is the case with his latest accuser, Alva Johnson.
Shaheen Announces Legislation to Address Addiction, Sadly Not Related to Her Own
Is it ironic that a professional tax and spend politician has announced a plan to redistribute another $63 Billion to combat a problem that only exists because of a Democrat President and her sycophantic support of his priorities?
Arbitrary Wage Meddling Claims More Victims – Democrats Can’t Wait to Do that Here!
A few years ago, the unions told the Democrats they needed to push for an arbitrary $15.00 per hour minimum wage. We’ll take in more dues and give you more money. They all clicked their heels together and went to work. The fallout from this socialist experiment continues.
Big Tech vs. Banking & Big Government: Round 1
Facebook announced last month it would launch a global cryptocurrency in 2020. The announcement said Facebook and 28 partners would form a consortium. The partners include: MasterCard Inc., PayPal Holdings Inc., and Uber Technologies Inc.; among others. The new partnership will form under the name Libra Association. The purpose of Libra is to govern the … Read more
Did Chris Sununu Let NH Democrats Make it Impossible for Transgender People to Fly?
Somebody’s rainbow is smiling but should it? Governor Sununu allowed a bill to become law that allows New Hampshire residents to put an ‘x’ on their drivers’ license, instead of ‘M’ or ‘F’ (for Male or Female). Quick question? Why don’t they want ‘trans’ allowed on airplanes?
Sharia is about the Non-believers… Mostly
Sharia is important subject matter. One must understand Sharia to understand Islam. It is a fatal mistake to get wrapped up in the parsing of words about Sharia. The danger is in missing the basic truths of what Islamic civilization requires. How to understand Islam… There is nothing equivalent to Sharia in western culture. To understand … Read more
Volinsky and Feltes’ “False Narratives” About New Hampshire Take Another Punch to the Gut
Democrats Dan Feltes and Andrew Volinsky want to be the next Governor of New Hampshire. Job one is to paint New Hampshire as doomed and Governor Sununu as the villain. Not an easy task and CNBC just threw another gut punch to their narrative.
Notable Quote – George Will
And the more things government touches, the more people will have interests in touching, and wheedling, government. Progressives purport to be scandalized by modern Washington, which is indeed an unlovely maelstrom of interest groups maneuvering to maximize their rent-seeking. This is, however, the Washington that progressives should have known they were making. But they only … Read more
