Tune in to New Hampshire Today with Jack Heath tomorrow morning – June 20th, 2018 – at 6:40 am to hear Executive Council District 4 candidate Jane Cormier discuss the issues, the campaign, and her New Hampshire First platform.
That’s WGIR AM 610. 6:40 AM
England took away the guns, so the criminals turned to other tools. Knives have become quite popular among London’s criminals. Their use has made the city a murder capital to rival New York City.
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to intervene in how Wisconsin draws its legislative districts. From the Washington Times.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., writing for the court, said it wasn’t enough to claim that Wisconsin’s districts were drawn to favor one party or another. The plaintiffs needed to prove they individually were unable to vote for a credible candidate of their choice because of the gerrymander.
Before we were hacked in April GraniteGrok climbed up the Alexa Rankings (for Online news or media sites in New Hampshire) to do battle with the top 5. The redirect did some damage to that, and we almost dropped out of the top ten.
That was not great, and we’ve written about the redirects that plagued readers, but some good has come out of it. We amped up the fundraising and our new Web site, which Skip lovingly refers to as Grok 3.0, is under construction. The new security is a lot better and we’ve got some very serious plans for this platform that will, yes literally, take us to the next level.
So what level are we on now? I asked Alexa’s ranking where we stood in the New Hampshire Political/News interwebs and here’s what I learned.
Here’s another enticing tidbit from the nothingburger IG investigation into how the DOJ and FBI investigated The Clinton Email Scandal. James Comey was using private email for government business while investigating Hillary Clinton for using private Email for Government Business. (Page 13)
As we also describe in Chapter Twelve, we learned during the course of our review that Comey, Strzok, and Page used their personal email accounts to conduct FBI business.
Two Feminist health “experts” included a chapter in their new book in which they mull “mainstream nutrition science” and how it “rests upon elite, white, and educated modes of thinking, and that the values mainstream nutrition promotes are “Western values.” “
No, they aren’t happy about that.
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t feminism and therefore feminist health a white elite western value?
I doubt we will ever get around to plumbing the minutia inside IG Horowitz 568 page report on how the FBI handled the Clinton Email Investigation or their pivot to Trump. But we can pull and explore some of the bits the media is more likely to ignore, gloss over, or spin.
Like this.
This: So if you are a Feminist, let us know how this is wrong.
Have you heard of something called conscious capitalism? It “suggests that consumers will do good if given the opportunity.”
Then there’s this.
Other researchers coined the term “responsibilization”–the idea that responsibility for social issues is shifting away from the government and nonprofits and toward businesses and consumers.
You could have fooled me, but let’s go with it because of Panera Bread’s recently failed experiment with what it called Panera ‘Cares.’ It is a pay what you want proposition that is collapsing under its own weight because while the intentions appear good the execution was flawed because the motivations were not really philanthropic, and it (as is so often the case) ignored human nature.
The left has settled into its latest anti-Trump narrative. He’s evil because he separates parents and children. That’s funny because an entire progressive social experiment or (experiments) championed and defended by liberals has been separating parents and children for decades. And I’m not talking about abortion.
No fault divorce. Modern Feminism. Glorifying single-motherhood. The infantilzation of boys and men. A Welfare state weaponized by progressives politicians to keep children away from at least one parent. But wait! There’s more!
In many cases, the post-Modernist (deconstruct everything and then just leave it on the nihilist floor they built) / post-Enlightenment reasoning / post-Judeo-Christian ethos / post-Western Liberalism (the TRUE meaning of Liberalism and not the bastardization that American Socialists / Progressives claimed for themselves a la how homosexuals claimed “gay” for themselves) are indeed out to get rid of Western Civilization…
So, Donald Trump is more popular than The LightBringer in their respective Parties at the same time in their Presidential term? (H/T: Daily Mail)
These Harvard kids got the lesson of their life in the Heartland
…Nearly all of them agreed that they didn’t know what life was like outside the coastal cities and states. Only one student, Henna Hundal, 20, had grown up in a rural environment — an almond farm in Turlock, Calif., — while Kessler, a computer-science major, was the only member of the class who had ever fired a gun. The students ranged in age from 19 to 21, with an equal number of girls and boys and a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds. The majority of them hailed from cities and suburbs in blue states along the East and West coasts. One was from Wales.
They admitted they had been fed a steady diet of stereotypes about small towns and their folk: “backwards,” “no longer useful,” “un- or under-educated,” “angry and filled with a trace of bigotry” were all phrases that came up.
…Two weeks later in Londonderry, NH, the students visited a gun range at [the Londonderry]Fish and Game Club and saw something else they didn’t expect — 40 women of all ages, shapes and colors pointing pistols at a target.
I wish I could have been there.
Trump rightfully tossed it onto the ash heap of Obama’s “Arc of History” – it rightfully belongs there because it had no worth. Obama, like many other actions he took during his Presidency, only wanted to be seen as doing something rather than actually doing something and the Paris Accord belongs in it. What worth is there when only a President signs an “agreement”? Nothing – the next President can do exactly what Trump did. Obama was lazy – relying on Executive Orders and bureaucratic rulemaking which meant it could be done away with a flourish of a pen.
Let me add to Mike’s “Happy Fathers Day” with this from Instapundit (reformatted, emphasis mine):
VIRGINIA ALLEN: The Importance of Dads in an Increasingly Fatherless America.
There is a “father absence crisis in America,” according to National Fatherhood Initiative, and the results are sobering. Studies have found that children raised without a father are:
- At a higher risk of having behavioral problems.
- Four times more likely to live in poverty.
- More likely to be incarcerated in their lifetime.
Say what you will about Donald J. Trump. The president of the United States is focused on big things. He is keeping his promises to restore prosperity to a nation that endured eight years of economic stasis under Obama. Trump is making America competitive again, in part through robust deregulation. He is slashing taxes and launched a game-changing 21 percent corporate levy. The commander-in-chief is giving veterans broader choices in healthcare and making it easier to sack VA staffers who fail them.
I’ll just leave this right here…
Back on April 1st, we reported on a ruling by a Judge in Los Angeles. A non-profit had sued 90 coffee companies claiming they had violated Prop 65 which required them to warn customers about a chemical in brewed coffee (acrylamide) that could lead to cancer.
Two months along and something has changed.
WMUR is reporting that Weare, NH House Rep Neal Kurk will not seek a 17th term.
Kurk, a fiscal watchdog and privacy hawk, is in his 16th term in the House, and according to several sources, has decided not to seek a 17th term in 2018. During many of those terms, Kurk chaired the House’s most powerful committee, which plays a huge role in the development of the state budget and has significant input on all fiscal matters.
And that’s kind of the same thing. Right?
