RRftSotRP – I get stuff. Third lesson: “I won’t participate with Republicans…”

NH GOP Republican State CommitteeToday is going to be a very busy day, so just a quick continuing thought on the missive I received that was ‘preached’ at a still fairly recent GOP meeting.  The author, I remind you, admonished the assembled crowd that they were “not allowed” to audio or video record their speech……then left handouts of the talking points on a table.

This is how I and the other Groksters end up getting stuff because stupenagels still believe that when you ask, secrets are kept.  Yeah, especially in this Internet age. And when you leave stuff openly on a table.

RRftSotRP Missive - back - 600 Part 2

To the first part: let’s make this real easy and get to the root cause.  It is not because people don’t support Trump, do support Trump; it does, however, all come back to this basic fact:

Winning is only a precursor; what you do afterwards is more important

The RINO Virus (Part I, Diagnosis)

Years ago, a friend told me about something he calls the ‘baby test’.  To take it, raise either arm straight up so your upper arm touches your ear.  Bend the arm at the elbow.  If you can make a 90-degree angle, you’re not a baby.

It occurs to me that there is a similar test for whether you’re a Republican, although it’s conceptual rather than corporeal. The test is simple.  If you believe that it’s more important to achieve particular outcomes than to preserve a set of principles, you’re not a Republican.

CNHT Taxpayer Family Reunion Picnic – Kimberly Morin

The Fiahcrakah (that’s Firecracker to you Flatlanders) – Kimberly is a lady that is never still or quiet.  Proprietor of NH Political Buzz, she also writes for us here at GraniteGrok and is the current President of the Womens’ Defense League of NH (“WDLNH”).  She is never a lady without a few bon (as well as mal) mots floating on her lips nor from her keyboard.  She is “on” all the time and served as the last speaker of the day at the CNHT Annual Picnic (aka “Old Home Day for Conservatives”) and you will enjoy her talk!

CNHT Taxpayer Family Reunion Picnic – Ed Naile, Chair of CNHT

Ed is the Chair of the Coalition of NH Taxpayers who puts on the Annual Picnic (aka, “Old Home Day for Conservatives). For decades, he and CNHT have been champions for taxpayer issues be they local (e.g., fighting the “good ole’ boys” networks in small NH towns, or local school boards / municipal committees that have gone off the “RSA reservation”, or local politicians seeking to enrich themselves as taxpayers expense) or state-wide (the foremost expert of voter fraud in NH).  In fact, that’s how he led off

After the jump are the other videos, especially about Keith Hanson and The Winslows (and what the town they live in is doing to them illegally):

John Potucek – Running for Re-Election in Derry, New Hampshire

John Petucek Derry NHMy name is John Potucek, and I’m running for re-election for State Representative in Derry, Rockingham District 6.

NH GOP – just GIVING money to the opposition. Again. Once again, the phrase “The Stupid Party”…

motorcycle circle of death…is running circles in my head like the above motorcycle of death circle.  WHY is the NH GOP so self-defeating?  Do they not even care about what the “campaign battlespace” looks like?  Wasn’t NH GOP Committeeman Steve Duprey (owner of five hotels in Concord) willing to step in to host such an event (er,  skuttlebutt is that he doesn’t cut much of a deal for hosting things like this, especially for allied conservative groups.  Then again, he gives money to Planned Parenthood, supports other Democrat issues; and we’re back to “The Stupid Party” again in electing people that don’t care much for what the NH GOP Platform says it stands for but I digress.  Again.):

“I’m so angry that he put us in this situation. I’m in no mood to help him right now.”

Chris SununuThat from an ally over NH Gov. Chris Sununu signing HB1319, the latest Bathroom Bill (aka “today I feel like a women even without the lady bits so I’m going into the ladies room”) and HB587 (gotta let gays be gays and no talking them out of it) which is a sop to the gay lobby and is an affront to both the First Amendment and NH’s Constitution in the matter of denying free speech and free conscious. I wrote this at the time:

So Governor Chris Sununu just told his Conservative and Faith-Based base to buzz off. You just told those that brung you to the dance that you’re in love with another. OK, buzz off we shall – like a buzzsaw. You asked we’ll deliver.

So how do I tell him and NH State Rep Mindi Messmer apart, who is running for US Congress with pretty much the same message

US Senator from NH (Representing Non-resident College Students) Is Interested in “Russian” Meddling?

Jeanne Shaheen

Not long ago, US Senator Jeanne Shaheen would barely open her mouth about anything in DC other than to announce how much free Federal money she could steer to our state. Suddenly, she is a foreign intelligence hound dog. Tax and Spend Jeanne wants the transcripts of President Trump’s private meeting with Putin.

President Trump excused from the meeting staff that would typically sit in on (but possibly leak) conversations from a private meeting with Mr. Putin. Trump did this so he could talk to Putin in confidence. Smart move now that we know our revered intelligence community elites tapped his communications.

Bill Charges States Who Try To Tell New Hampshire Businesses To Collect Their Taxes

grumpy cat taxes for a feeIf you are one of those 45 states that are not New Hampshire that may ask a business based here (with no presence there) to collect your sales taxes for you prepare to pay the price. Literally.

For starters, any taxing jurisdiction, before they can approach a New Hampshire business and say, “I think you have sold something to one our residents, pay up,” that taxing jurisdiction will first have to register with the New Hampshire Attorney General and pay a fee.

Poo Flinging Monkeys in Masks “Attack” Jewish Immigrant For Supporting Trump

poo flingingIn the Left’s new world order you are not allowed to disagree with progressive doctrine even if you are a Jewish immigrant of 30 years who creates jobs that employ immigrants.

Asher Shalom is a legal immigrant from Israel and businessman who employs many immigrants. He recently opened a new cafe in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles. Locals and the business community were welcoming until it became known that Shalom had shared something on social media which showed support for Trump’s immigration policies.

Tolerance and diversity except for Trump.

A Presidential Pardon for Jerry Delemus

Cross-posted from Stella’s Place

DeLemus

Our friend, TheOriginalG-d&Country, sent the following post to me via email, and asked if I would share it with all of you. It is OG&C’s desire that it also be posted at The Conservative Treehouse (Last Refuge), and I will see if that can be done as well, though that decision will not be mine.

A Presidential Pardon for Jerry Delemus

OG&C has been researching the case of Jerry Delemus, and his involvement with the Bundy Ranch stand-off, which occurred in 2014. Here is the report resulting from this research.

Question: GraniteGrok Meetups

BUMPED from July 14th: Reminder, the poll closes on Saturday!

GrokSignal

As we try to ramp GraniteGrok to the next level, one of the things being contemplated is doing Meetups – instead of you coming here, we Groksters would come out and meet with you folks.  Purpose?  Just to yak, talk, converse – you know, share a bit of fellowship.  So, I’d like to find out IF our loyal readers think this might be a good idea, and if it might be, where should they be held and how often?  Completely ad hoc or with a bit of an agenda?  Just yak, or as Steve said, perhaps have a “GrokThink!” component (yes, I will keep you in suspense).  As always, I read all the comments.  But I do want to do a couple of polls after the jump (if I can figure this thingy out as I’ve never used the plugin that Steve has been using lately) so each poll might get adjusted as I correct mistakes.

OK, first question: how often?

New Hampshire Secretary of State Confused About Voter Fraud, Laws, Words, Election Integrity

Bill Gardner
Image Credit: Daily Caller

The lunacy involving NH permitting illegal, out-of-state voting which has continued because there seems to be a complete misunderstanding of how laws work, and what words mean. I can’t even begin to imagine how people in charge of New Hampshire’s election laws read a court case. There is solid proof they only accept parts of decisions.

Here is an article former newspaper reporter Drew Cline wrote which includes some interesting observations of our election laws – by Secretary of State William Gardner. He claims our election laws permit illegal voting – which is hard to comprehend.  The article: September 24. 2014 8:57 PM.

Picking “Internet” Nits…

They are penetrating the bureaucracy
They are penetrating the bureaucracy!

A legislative committee met to iron out a remedy to the Wayfair Decision. That Supreme Court ruling could require New Hampshire businesses to collect and remit taxes for other states. No one, regardless of party, seems to want that at least and until New Hampshire Democrats find a way to institute a tax they could then try to make other state’s collect.

We’re not there yet and hopefully never will be, but that’s not even why I’m writing this.
