The New Hampshire State Police would like to remind you that beginning yesterday, you can get fined for being this a**hole pictured in the left lane. The one blocking all the traffic. That’s “officially” bad. And it could cost you more than the otherwise generous goodwill of Granite State motorists.
Lone Republican Joins Sherry Frost and NH Democrats to Ban Guns in the House Chamber
Democrat Rep. Sherry Frost says dumb things all the time on Twitter. Like, “Now the GOP is saying they need their guns because law enforcement is under no obligation to protect us. The Good Guy with a gun fantasy is strong with these folks.”
NH GOP – Open Primaries should be done away with
I was included on an email thread that had a number of people on it and one of the issues is that of Open Primaries in NH. Here’s the initial email: <redacted> wrote (to a number of people) including Steve Stepanek who has announced that he is running to fill the soon to be empty … Read more
“Republican” Jim Rubens Sponsors House Party for Democrat Running for President
Under cover of listening and productive debate (sometimes candidate/Republican), Jim Rubens is holding a House party. He’d like you to meet Maryland Democrat John Delaney. Delany is running for President and according to Rubens, we need to keep our options open. Left-center is not my politics. But the need for big-picture solutions is now so … Read more
‘Transgendered Men Don’t Become Women,’ They Become ‘Feminized Men,’ ‘Impersonators’
If you think that allowing “feelings” to define sexuality instead of biology is damaging to children and families, you are not alone. Dr. Paul R. McHugh has your back. He’s the Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University. He studied “transgendered persons” for 40 years. He was the psychiatrist-in-chief for 26-years. At the place that pioneered sex-change … Read more
Record Rainfall in 2018 – And They Scoffed When I Said New Hampshire is Getting Wetter
The Koch brothers are not paying me to oppose the goofy Climate Cult in New Hampshire. I do it because progressives are using weather to socialize government. I share my observations to keep Climate Confidence schemers out of my pockets. Yours too. So, when I wrote (during New Hampshire’s “CO2 driven” Man-made drought) that the state … Read more
Proposed Housing Appeals Board Would Rob NH Residents of Local Control
There’s no better place to begin a discussion of the new legisaltive year than a bill designed to shift power away from locals to the “experts” in the State Capitol. HB104-2019 would create a Housing appeals board. Put simply, the purpose of this body is to override local zoning rules that prevent developers from building whatever they want.
Palate Cleanser – Jet Pack Racing. YES! I Said, Jet Pack Racing!
After running a series of proximity tests, JetPack Aviation is ready to start the coolest thing (so far) for 2019. A Jet Pack Racing league. “We tested how close two jetpacks can fly together without causing turbulence or interference with each other’s engine inlet air,” David Mayman, CEO of Jetpack Aviation, told Digital Trends. “The tests … Read more
The Dem’s Pasty White Slate in the Granite State
Bernie Sanders hasn’t formally announced for 2020. But he’s already got a ground game in place. It makes sense for the aging communist to run again. Liz Warren has already announced her pre-announcement. She’s running. With both trying to occupy the same ideological space this early in the race I’m calling it the pasty White Slate … Read more
Yeah, almost the perfect answer – but it lacks needed snark to punch the nose
A PROPER RESPONSE TO A MADE-UP CONTROVERSY. A four-fer by Progressives and their allies in the Media (but I repeat myself). How effective as they see that their hold on Court may be broken after decades of capture – especially if Trump gets one more chance at replacing another Judge Progressives are in a panic over … Read more
Notable Quote – Victor Davis Hanson
Students now leave campus largely prepped by their professors to embrace a predictable menu: the glories of larger government, income redistribution, greater entitlements, radical environmentalism, abortion, multiculturalism, suspicion of traditional religion, and antipathy to the international role of the United States in the past and present. -Prof. Victor Davis Hanson (Indoctrination, not education) And Alexandria Ocasio-Ortez … Read more
Stalin – #2 undermine America’s morality
Having written my post that explored Communist Joe Stalin’s words as a riff on Steve’s post, I just stared when I saw this over at Instapundit: Morality? As the Progressives increasing decide that subject after subject, issue after issue, that there should be “No Stigma” – what traditional social mores are left that keep that … Read more
Pat Sajak’s New ‘Name’ For CNN
Pat Sajak has taken the age-old practice of attributing suitable words to the initials CNN and come up with a winner. A habit we’ve participated in here to some degree. Clinton News Network. Counterfeit News Network. There are others. But Sajak nails it. This is brilliant.
More Women’s Marches Cancelled
The Women’s March used women. Partisan Trump-hating hypocrites took advantage of them. It was never about equality for all women. It was about equity for some women and hatred for others. And a program that was destined to collapse under the weight of its own hypocrisy.
Trump Supporters Drop Proposed Bylaw Change to NHGOP Neutrality Rule
New bylaw proposals had to be submitted to the NHGOP by midnight last night. This year the controversial “proposal” (there’s always one or two) was a change to the Republican Party Neutrality law. The existing rule prohibits party officers from endorsing or backing any candidate with a primary. The change (were it approved by the voting members … Read more
Let’s start your new year right: what’s better than a good guy with a gun?
Six of them! Yes, indeedy – six good guys with CCWs outwitted, outplayed and….outdrew two idiots who were also stealing guns (albeit of a different kind): The plan was simple: Steal tools and pawn them for money. That’s what two men, 22 and 23, reportedly had in mind when they showed up to the Coastal Farm … Read more

Which means it’s time to take a look at what we did that got the most of your attention in December of 2018. December was a fantastic month for GraniteGrok. We had … Read more
They just CAN’T leave ANYone alone, can they?
UPDATE/BUMPED: In trying to find something else in our archives, I came across this from 2016-04-24. That image is still as valid today as then and especially in light of my DISQUS Doodlings as well as on anything we report or opine on what the Left does. They are the Borg and they will not stop in any way possible to assimilate the rest of us. That is who they are. That is not what the rest of us aspire to be. Just freaking leave the rest of us alone and stop using the force of Government to do otherwise.
*****
I am part of the Just Leave Me Alone Coalition – but the Left CANNOT stand anyone being outside of their notion of Collectivism. It echos the mantra of Fascism as defined in Mussolini’s Italy in the 1930s/1940s: According to Benito Mussolini, this system politicizes everything spiritual and human: “Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” Liberals / Democrats / Progressives in the US are rapidly walking towards this faster and faster:
At the Democrat Convention: “Government is the only thing we all belong to“; another is Government is the thing we all do together“. Remember Hillary’s “It takes a Village”? Everything is couched in terms of GroupThink and “everyone all in” or “we’re all in this together”. Socialism (except, of course, you are the one at the top, the Primo Apparatchik).
It is ALWAYS the group we, the collective group, as if they believe we all are in this together. But we’re not – but they insist and do every thing they can to make it so – there is NO freedom allowable to dissent. By this yet additional datum, we see that they hate the US Constitution (re: free association held in the First Amendment):
11-Year-Old Docked 15-Points for Refusing to Bash Trump on Homework
Ten days ago we reported on a Deerfield NH, School study guide that referred to the Founding Fathers as Fat, Old White, Rich men. Today we’ve got a report on how an 11-year-old got docked 15-points on their homework for refusing to bash President Trump. A Staten Island, New York, educator teacher placed an anti-President … Read more
