June 24, 2020 Kimberly Morin

In a vote of 3-2 today, right along party lines, New Hampshire Senate Democrats voted to pass House Bill 687 – AN ACT relative to extreme risk protection orders. This legislation is better known as the ‘Red Flag’ bill. NYC billionaire Michael Bloomberg is spending a lot of money on lobbyists to get this bill … Read more

Wouldn’t it be Wonderful?

June 24, 2020

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could find a cure for all things that ail us? Perhaps we could make the cure from divine fruit. What do you think? Should the cure be fair to the eye? Would it be inviting to the palate? Would it grant us the virtue of wisdom?

Black Lives Matter CONDEMNS Andy Volinsky

June 24, 2020 Ed Mosca

This, from the Black Lives Matter Manchester’s Facebook Page: In case you have not been following, BLM-Manchester is referring to Volinsky’s absurd claim that Eddie Edwards was not qualified to head the State’s licensing agency. I urge you to read the comments section. The White “allies” are flabbergasted and incredulous that BLM-Manchester is not blindly … Read more

What did anyone THINK was going to happen when you give druggies unexpected money? I don’t think this is the economy that needed to be “stimulated” (emphasis mine, reformatted):

“Executive Councilor Could Benefit from Some Counseling”

June 24, 2020June 24, 2020 Op-Ed

In January 1938 Franklin Roosevelt nominated Stanley Forman Reed to fill an opening on the Supreme Court. Three weeks later, having generated no real dispute in the Senate, Reed’s nomination was uneventfully confirmed. Among the legacy Justice Reed accrued during nearly two decades on the bench, was his mentoring of legal protégé, and future Chief … Read more

THE GLARING double standard for Republican women is back again, this time in the form of New Hampshire Democrats’ demeaning response to New York Rep. Elise Stefanik’s endorsement of Matt Mowers in the First Congressional District Republican primary.

Issues through the lens of F.A. Hayek’ economics philosophies

June 24, 2020June 24, 2020 Skip

I am a fan of Cafe Hayek where economics deal with the issues of the day from the Individual being in control (instead of The State) of one’s own personal economy; I’ve been putting up Notable Quotes from the site for years (so this should not be a secret for long term ‘Grok readers). Have … Read more

2020 Taglines

June 24, 2020 Steve MacDonald

When this COVID-19 circus finally rolls out of town (if it ever does), there will be a number of taglines for this awkward period in US history. One of them will be “weaponized hypocrisy”. We’ve seen ridiculous levels of hypocrisy from the Left over the past 10 years, especially since Donald Trump got elected. They … Read more

“History is not supposed to make you feel good or bad. History is your best defense against ignorance”

June 24, 2020June 24, 2020 Skip

Every country has written great pages and dark pages in History. For the United States, slavery and the Civil War that brought an end to it were definitely some of the darkest pages. And we must never forget.

Reverse Racism – only Whites in Lincoln, Oregon are mandated to wear face masks

June 23, 2020 Skip

TMEW just announced this to me – she gets Joe Kelly LeVasseur FB posts. Well, it’s true. The Washington Examiner, Townhall, and Oregon Live are reporting that Whites are being singled out in this order starting tomorrow morning. Now, the latter makes no mention of racial discrimination for mandated masks – just that an order … Read more

June 25, 2020June 23, 2020 Steve MacDonald

With about 29 hours in and about 28 hours left to vote, our Clegg vs Wheeler Republican primary poll has a difference of less than one percent. So, my question to you is, did you vote yet?

“Structural Political Racism” White NH Democrats on the Executive Council “Reject” Another Black Nominee…

June 23, 2020June 23, 2020 Skip

Just watched the Segment on WMUR: Eddie Edwards has pulled his name from NH Executive Council nomination. He is charging head honcho Selfish Andru (Volinsky) and his white-faced sidekicks of committing an overt act of racism.

Law Enforcement Appreciation Rally – MicroInterview with Chris Agar

June 23, 2020 Skip

The last MicroInterview that was done after the conclusion of the Law Enforcement Appreciation event… Sidenote: AGAIN, I point out that no State level Democrat elective office candidate or current office holder bothered to show up to express support for law enforcement. I just have to guess that the Seattle CHAZ/CHOP “autonomous zone” is the … Read more

There Are No Neutrals In a Revolution

June 23, 2020

Are we in the midst of a cultural revolution? It is beginning to feel to most people as if there is forced change happening. If it is a cultural revolution and it really gets going there are things to consider.

Law Enforcement Appreciation Rally – MicroInterview with NH State Rep Fred Doucette

June 23, 2020 Skip

Also at the end of the Law Enforcement Appreciation event, as you have seen already, I got the chance to ask a number of folks for MicroInterviews. One of the last ones (it was a bit of time after the end of the event, after all) was with NH State Rep Fred Doucette. Given that … Read more

“Flattening the Curve” on Liberty – Today It’s Statues, Tomorrow it’s People

June 23, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Anyone who thinks the Left’s latest tantrum has anything to do with discrimination or justice for minorities is in for a surprise. The Left never does anything for anyone but itself. And all you are doing is helping them.

“What the Heck is Happening? How Did We Get Here?

June 23, 2020 Skip

Once in a while, I come upon a post that says what I would say but says it far better than what I could. This is one of those posts. Many on the Right have been looking around our country going “what the heck is happening? How did we get here?

Law Enforcement Appreciation Rally – MicroInterview with Don Bolduc

June 23, 2020 Skip

I have to thank Don Bolduc for doing TWO MicroInterviews with GraniteGrok. The first one, done right after the event was over, had horrible audio results. Political people like to talk – and talk more and more and then talk LOUDLY. So, even though he had to be somewhere else, he was gracious in granting … Read more
