Congressional Democrats Suddenly Don’t Want “Collusion” Documents Declassified

Democrats have been demanding transparency. When the recent FISA application was released with redactions at least a few of them are said to have claimed that there were more damning details under those redactions.

I guess that’s true.

When Mr. Trump approved the declassification of some of those documents last week, Congressional Democrats lined up to stop it.

Some Documents “Climate” Colluders Don’t Want Released

If there are documents available that make your case on your view of things you’d want the people to see them, yes? No!

While Congressional Democrats wrestle with their own sudden disinterest in transparency, some “climate” scientists are bemoaning a court order forcing the publicly funded university for whom they work to release emails in response to a 7-year old freedom of information act request (FOIA).

Emails that include conversations “related to the Mann-Bradley-Hughes temperature reconstruction.” The infamous Hockey Stick upon which the Climate Cult bases its’ hysteria.

Everytown Endorses Anti-Gunners in NH Hillsborough and Rockingham Counties

[Art.] 2-a. [The Bearing of Arms.] All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state.
December 1, 1982

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.“

So, these anti-gun and anti-NH Constitution candidates have been endorsed by Big Democrat money (Nanny Bloomberg who keeps this group alive) “Everytown For Gun Safety” (incremental civilian disarmament is more truthful) Hillsborough and Rockingham Counties.

The Danger That Can Come To Your Children Attending a Public School in NH

Many people have never heard the name Glenn Cordelli, but if you are a parent, you should get to know him.  Glenn Cordelli is a state representative in New Hampshire serving in Moultonborough, Sandwich, and Tuftonboro.  He finished up his third term, and will hopefully be elected for a fourth term in November.

Representative Glenn Cordelli recently put forth a Bill that would require each local education agency to develop a local data security plan. HB1612 was signed into law by Governor Sununu in August, and now school boards across New Hampshire will have to develop a Data Inventory Security Plan.

This is such an important issue now in public education that the FBI has issued warnings to parents:

A commentary on Liberals and Kavanaugh by Kurt Schlichter

I can’t always pull quotes or adequately summarize his Townhall columns but they are really amusing and will become part of my contributions to Grok 3.0 “Around the Web” (or as Steve calls it: “Stuff we’d like to blog about but haven’t had the time,” which I think is a more descriptive title).  So here he is in his own video podcast, “TAKE THAT! with Kurt Schlichter” on the Democrat agenda of personal destruction aimed at Conservatives:

UN Environment Chief’s Oversized Carbon Footprint

If you’re going to educate the world about the dangers of carbon dioxide you’re going to have to emit some carbon dioxide, right? And that’s not just from talking.

A draft internal audit, obtained by the Guardian and seen by the BBC, says that Erik Solheim’s actions risked the reputation of UN Environment. The report says he incurred costs of $488,518 (£373,557) while traveling for 529 out of 668 days.

Republicans must not cower in the face of Democratic treachery

From the very beginning, Democratic lawmakers made it clear they intended to oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court. Deeply enmeshed in the resistance movement and anti-Trump hysteria, the rationale for their opposition is clear. Kavanaugh is a conservative judge, nominated by a president they revile. Their desperation to derail his nomination was made apparent during the recent chaotic confirmation hearings.

Nothing was disclosed during those hearings that disqualified Judge Kavanaugh, and to the contrary, objective viewers perceived him as an eminently qualified nominee, of the highest moral character.

Team Negron Money Bomb Give $10 to Protect “Ten”

That includes the entire Bill of Rights.

Chris Matthews reveals Democrats “End Game”

by Jim Johnson The “Puke” Chris Matthews reveals Democrats end game for Brett Kavanaugh, which amounts to nothing more than blackmail. An orchestrated conspiracy hell bent on defaming a successful white male from achieving his full potential.

“Millennial elitist dorks are all about screwing up burgers.”

Kurt Schlichter mourns the demise of the Ultimate ‘normal’ American food. Millennial elitist dorks are all about screwing up burgers. “Gourmet” burgers, they call them. But they are a sad simulacrum of true burgers, and a crime against nature. The menus of those precious gastropubs that spring up in the gentrified blue coastal urban centers are … Read more

Renewable Green Energy Mandates – Families and Job Creators Hit Hardest

New Hampshire has a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). The Democrat majority state government pushed it through back when John Lynch was governor. It requires electricity providers to buy a percentage of the power you pay for from more expensive sources. Those costs are then passed on to consumers. If the state didn’t make them they wouldn’t … Read more

Grok 3.0 – so where is it?

Well, it is taking a bit more time than we thought but a lot of progress has been made over the last two weeks.  There’s some “under the hood” work still left to be done but the general outline is pretty much set (albeit with test data from a while ago).  A lot of our posts, images, and the like have been ported over (from when we first opened in 2006 to just before “current times”)

Grok 3 - screenshot 1

A couple of new features – like New Media Militia (above) and Around the Web (which is getting renamed, after the jump): places for us to drop links that we thought interesting but had no time to blog about them / their content but we think they’re important. A couple of more screenshots:

Speaking of going to “the next level”, the next tranche of gear has arrived

And it solves three problems for us

  1. We have anti-noise headsets – really light on good microphones
  2. We keep getting asked to bring a PA system with us – didn’t have one
  3. You’ve seen me schlepping bags, and boxes, and more bags, and cases to events.

And it took upwards of an hour for set up and then again to take it all apart.  Add to that time constraints – not being able to get in early enough and then being chased out because the venue rental time was too short.  Both of which generally meant I and the rest of the Groksters looked rather “stuck up” and not able to yak with all of you that came up to events and I had to keep apologizing for not being able to talk.  Which, is quite important (and many of you always offered to be Sherpas in getting stuff in and out – God sends!!)

So, engineers either go redneck to solve problems when $$ is an issue or engineer more elegant solutions when finances become less of a constraint. We’ve dealt with the former for years, donations have made it possible to do the latter given what we’ve been growing into.

The Most Liberal State Has the Highest Poverty Rate – NH Still Lowest in the Nation

The U.S. Census released its most recent data on Poverty in America last week and surprise, surprise, surprise! The far-left land of Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Brown, Dianne Feinstein, Tech Giants, and Hollywood Gazillionaires continues to have the highest rate of poverty in the nation.

A place where homelessness has skyrocketed alongside the massive burden of the welfare state.

Southern New Hampshire University Wants Campus Groups’ Social Media Passwords

The lead in today’s Manchester Union Leader is SNHU requires all clubs to reveal passwords. That sounds Orwellian.

SNHU says it is to protect the continuity of the communities. There are a number of approved campus groups that have languished since the page administrators have graduated. By collecting the login credentials they can ensure that new admins have access to keep the groups updated. And this sounds reasonable until you get to this bit.
