I had the distinct displeasure of overhearing some of the live school board meeting in Bedford last night. It was on in the other room. The part I overheard was a series of close-to-tears mask-wearing fascists pleading for the Board to mandate masks. I’m happy to report they failed.

Jeanne Shaheen’s Hot Take on Afghanistan
Here is a hot take on the events in Afghanistan from Jeanne Shaheen – It’s a Women’s Rights issue. I’m not kidding. Here is her most recent statement. It includes this politically correct BS:
Why Do Conservatives Believe That Trust in Government and Media Is Worthless?
OK, a long-form post from ThreadReader rolled-up from tweets made by MartyrMade. (He has other rolled-up threads here). So here it is in full. It did resonate with me and I think with many others.
“When Identity Politics, CRT, and Feminism Get Together”
Sooner or later, the Left starts eating its own. Both the worst and the best thing that the Left has been is Totalitarian. A sense of unrealized Comedy material there for the taking, things that just “don’t agree” that CAN be used against them.
Taliban Joe’s Saigon 2.0 (The Fall of Kabul Part Two)
Was it only a few days ago I that predicted this? Or was it 18 years? Both, actually. My last entry ended, “All that remains to be seen is if it turns into a S**t fight for the last chopper out”?
Does The State of New Hampshire Need To Fix This?
You’ll say, Steve, this seems petty, and in the context of much larger issues, both state and national (heck, let’s add global), I’d agree. It’s not a high priority, but it is curious and, it has become quite the topic of discussion, so maybe we can help.
Data Point – Media Continues to Drive Its Customers Away
It’s one thing to be us – GraniteGrok – as we’ve made it clear who we are. That we write from our outlook on life as and for Conservatarians. Other media sites still spell a message that they are “objective.” “You should Trust us. We’re not like the others.” But they are and people aren’t buying it.
If You Want the Poor to be Richer, Socialism Can’t do That!
Do you want to be in charge of your own economic choices, or are you in favor of others making those choices without your input? That’s really what’s at stake and what Friedman points out here.
Israel Would Welcome Peace But Hamas Is Founded on the Principle of Destroying Israel
In response to Janet Simmon’s critique of one of my past letters, I first thank her for agreeing with me that any and all terrorism is abhorrent and unethical. She does, however, choose to describe Hamas as a political party, which is a description I must challenge.
Relativism Versus Reality: Ralph Peters and Endless War
Since 1968, when my essay “The Crisis of Our Times” appeared in the Congressional Record, I have written several books warning of the pernicious and subversive influence of the university-bred doctrine of moral and cultural relativism.
Quick Takes – A Hat Trick + One
1. Shortages.
I was at the grocery store and I overheard three of the senior people – decades of experience – talking about how it’s harder to get items to stock on the shelves. I mentioned that to some of the stock clerks whom I have gotten to know and they concur: they’re having to get creative to keep shelves visually full.
Taliban Variant Infects Afghanistan – Women and “minorities” Hit Hardest – Does Sleepy Joe Know?
The big news today is Joe Biden’s first real foreign policy “victory.” The Taliban quickly took control of Afghanistan, including whatever “toys” the US government handed out or had to abandon. It’s a nasty mess, and yet, Democrats don’t seem all that upset.
WARNING (Public School Testing) – AP Practice Exam Asks Partisan Questions About Voter ID
Did you know that your children do not have to take the state standardized assessment given in your public school each year? That also includes the SAT given to students in 10th grade. You are better off finding an actual achievement test, giving it to your child outside the school system, and looking at those results.
Afghanistan: An Opportunity for Feminists and a Warning for America
No one in the West can watch the events unfolding in Afghanistan without a sense of horror. The nation-building dreams of neocon George Bush, continued by the feckless Obama for eight more years, are coming crashing down.
It’s Time For NH’s Superintendents to RESIGN
To those Superintendents who are pushing Critical Race Theory in their school district (and you know who you are), it’s time for you to resign and give your job to a POC (Person of Color).
Experts Want You to Call Breastfeeding Chestfeeding ‘cuz “Fathersmilk” or Something.
The #woke-a-saurus will come for it, whatever it is, and it has come for lactating moms. The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM) has raised the white flag, declaring that it will henceforth (except in countries where that flag may not fly) stop calling it what it is.
Biden Has Become Nixon
I never want to hear another word from any Democrat, liberal, or progressive about how evil Nixon was. Biden allowed (supported?) corruption of the political process when he was vice president. As president, he has done his utmost best to reverse economic and foreign policies that made the US safer and more prosperous.
San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus: “We’ll Convert Your Children”
The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus finally let the cat out of the bag. Oh, I bet that the original intent was a bit of a cultural/political poke against those they believe have “oppressed them” – maybe. I am betting that there was more than just a bit of satire in this but the mask slipped a lot.
There Are Some Very Disturbing Signs Coming Out of DC.
The demonization of those who want their DNA to remain as GOD has written it proceeds apace. If you object to the Experimental Messenger RNA Gene Therapy, you are called Anti-Vaccine, even though this Witches brew IS NOT a vaccine, under the definition used for the last 100 years.
