The thinking goes like this. If we feed kids bugs, then maybe they will convince their parents to eat bugs too. As a parent, I’d like to respond to that. Go away and take your bugs with you.
Have the Scales of “Domestic” Violence Finally Been Balanced?
“Tell the world, Johnny, tell them that I, Johnny Depp, a man, I too am a victim of domestic violence. And see how many people side with you.” How many women have had men say that to them?
So, Sarah Gibson of NHPR, Are You Going to Return My Call over Your “Misinformation” in Your Post That Included Me?
Sarah Gibson from NHPR didn’t do her homework so at 2:15 pm today. She put out “misinformation” (you know, that AWFUL thing that the Left hates when it claims we on the Right have said what Free Speech allows people to do).
Everything Comes from Somewhere
You’ve heard the phrase, maybe even used it. It is ubiquitous, an idiom. “[It] came out of nowhere.” But everything comes from somewhere. The deer from the woods. The rock from a hillside or the hand that threw it. So does life. It comes from someplace, and it has a beginning. Life doesn’t just come out of nowhere. It begins, like all things, from an identifiable point of origin.
Friday Open Thread – The Left Is Cloward-Piven’Ing Us on Everything All at the Same Time.
So, how are you weathering this assault by Biden’s puppetmasters in implementing The Green New Deal across every facet of our lives WITHOUT that AOC monstrosity ever being passed by the US House or Senate? Are you liking the fact that the Federal Government has raised your energy costs, your food costs, your clothes costs, … Read more
Poll – who might you vote for in the 2022 NH Governor Campaign?
It’s early in the 2022 Governor Campaign and not a lot of people have signed up to run for NH Governor. Certainly, it seems that incumbent Chris Sununu will be running for re-election. Two others have signed up to run against him: Karen Testerman Thad Riley Julian Acciard However, there may be others out there … Read more
Inflation Belongs to Putin, and Mass Shootings Belong to Republicans
I listened to Joe Biden’s dramatic speech on Thursday night about his wants and desires for gun control laws in America. He went through a litany of items he called solutions and how deplorable Republicans are for not agreeing with him unconditionally.
Sin and Government
Jordan Peterson gave the 2022 commencement address at Hillsdale College, and it was brilliant. He called it (or Maybe Hillsdale did) At the crossroads. That was the subject of the talk. That place where you have an essential choice to make and what that looks like or means philosophically, metaphorically, through a lens of faith and practically speaking.
Promoted from the Comments – A History of the Results of Gun Control
Fairly new Grokster Ray Cardello had a post ‘The Left Only Sees Gun Control.’ “Over the weekend, we saw Biden resort to his old claim that the Second Amendment is not absolute. That is his interpretation and certainly not shared by many.
Someone is “Attacking” An NPR “Journalist” in New Hampshire

It’s 603 Day, by the Way, a Celebration of New Hampshire
Today is June 3rd, 6/03/2022, which is a celebration of all things New Hampshire in the Granite State. 603 is the state’s only area code, and it has adopted the day as its very own.
Maintenance In Progress – Ads, Subscribers, Newsletter
Ads – Commenter Anon yesterday let me know (and I experienced it myself) that the left and bottom pop-up ads were glitching in that it took TWO tries at closing (or “X-ing out”) those ads. I contacted the ad server vendor and it seems that is now fixed.
“The War on the Unvaccinated was lost and we should all be very thankful for that.”
I haven’t seen anything like this around these parts. A vaccinated Australian has written an Op-Ed in which they thank the unvaccinated. For what? “[T]heir perseverance and courage bought us the time to see we were wrong.”
New Study: Pediatric Masking (School Mask Mandates) Had No Effect on Number of COVID Cases
A long time ago, in a reality far, far away, the CDC, NIH, and others knew that mass masking couldn’t reduce viral spread. They also knew masking had downsides. But the mask became a symbol of compliance and they ignored their own research. They even invented some to justify masks. But that’s falling apart, again.
Canceling Loans Means Taxpayers Foot the Bill
The shame of the situation is that proponents of a bill to cancel or forgive outstanding student loans do not understand the process. Or worse, they know and are comfortable with someone else paying their debt. Either situation is disappointing and indicative of a generation weaned on entitlements.
Regaining Congress Cannot be About Investigations
It is an expectation by everyone, except Nancy Pelosi, that the Republicans will regain the House and possibly the Senate in November. The latest estimates are for a gain of thirty-five seats for the GOP in the House. Speculation about any swings in the Senate is unclear, and predictions are not forthcoming.
A Viral Clip From Matt Walsh’s New Documentary Makes Heads Explode
The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh released a documentary titled “What Is A Woman?” to coincide with the beginning of Pride Month, and it has already caused waves among viewers.

“Converting” to Electricity is Common Sense? In What World?
There is an editorial over at Digger from a pair of Environmental stakeholders titled “Converting to Electricity is Common Sense.” The premise is that gasoline is never getting cheaper, and “Driving and heating homes and businesses are essential to Vermonters’ standard of living.” [so] “Converting to electricity is common sense in need of government support.”

June 1st through the 10th is “Filing Season” in New Hampshire. It’s when you have that short window of time to decide (if you haven’t thought about it yet – and you should have if you’ve been reading GraniteGrok!) to run for elected office.
