Virtue Signal Received

June 9, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Some companies just can’t help themselves, can they? In these times of civil turmoil (insanity), some of them feel the need to “do something”, being social justice warriors – and letting the whole world know about it. They are, after all, morally gracious and superior, no? They have a microphone and they have money – … Read more

Minneapolis PD and Mayor Enabled Floyd Killing

June 9, 2020 Don

The video of police abusing/killing George Floyd is heart-wrenching. The police perpetrators are being prosecuted and should spend the rest of their lives behind bars. CNN spokesmen say “systemic racism” caused Floyd’s death.

Female Democrats Complain Over Being Treated….. EQUALLY

June 9, 2020June 9, 2020 Kimberly Morin

File this in the ‘you can’t make this stuff up’ folder folks. Female Democrat Representatives Jan Schmidt and Rosemarie Rung (two of the worst reps at the NH State House) are complaining for being treated….. seriously… not even kidding… EQUALLY. They apparently don’t like to be held accountable, as elected officials, for their votes, actions … Read more

Data Point – Private Companies Democratizing Outer Space

June 9, 2020 Skip

Emphasis mine, reformatted:

While a major milestone for a private company, SpaceX’s most significant achievement has been in lowering the launch costs that have limited many space activities.

If Minneapolis Has Systemic Racism Why Isn’t Over 40 Years of Democrat Rule to Blame?

June 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

We’ve made the point more than once. Democrats have run the cities with the riots (where they are protesting systemic racism) for decades. George Korda, writing at that far-right bastion (cough-cough) USA Today, wonders why they are not taking their share of the blame?

Defund policing, not the police

June 8, 2020 Ian Underwood

Suddenly there is growing support for the idea that Americans ought to reclaim responsibility for protecting themselves and their property. This would be an important step towards becoming fit for liberty once again.

Gracie Gato – Wants to do a Class Action lawsuit against “this blogger”? Heh!

June 8, 2020 Skip

So, this California transplant has decided that GraniteGrok needs to be slapped upside our legal head. All because we called out L’il Andru Volinsky for being a pandering, virtue-signaling #Maskhole. She’s a #Maskhole as well (good going, Karen) just the kind of person to keep as away from the Levers of Power as possible.

NotableQuote – a two-fer by Dan Henninger

June 8, 2020 Skip

Emphasis mine. No Guardrails (paywall, 1993) ..In our time, the United States suffers every day of the week because there are now so many marginalized people among us who don’t understand the rules, who don’t think that rules of personal or civil conduct apply to them, who have no notion of self-control. As the saying … Read more

Politicking by Nashua North and South High School Principals

June 8, 2020June 8, 2020 Ann Marie Banfield

I saw a letter from the Exeter Superintendent recently. And here is another one by Nate Burns, Principal of Nashua North and Keith Richard, Principle of Nashua South: I would take these letters by these Nashua High School Principals and the next time there is a pro-life event, ask the signers to send out similar … Read more

“I Used To Be A Normal Person”

June 8, 2020 Op-Ed

As a man [or woman], I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me “Privileged”, a racist & responsible for slavery.

WHO Says It is “rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual”

June 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The World Health Organization has repeatedly screwed the pooch on this pandemic business, so maybe this is an effort at redemption? They are claiming that data from several countries doing contact tracing demonstrates that the odds of getting COVID-19 from someone who is asymptomatic is “very rare.“

Happy Birthday to Weekend Pundit!

June 8, 2020 Skip

Weekend Pundit was one of the first blogs to link to us when GraniteGrok’s doors opened to the InterTubes in 2006. And now, it has achieved what few have – the age of majority (heh!):

Unanimous Verdict in State Supreme Court – Gov. Whitmer Exceeded her Authority

June 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Michigan Barber Karl Manke opened his shop in defiance of Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s decree. She rewarded this by sending six officers to shut him down, pulling his license and fining him. Manke appealed to the State Supreme Court, which unanimously sided with Manke.

FB Doodlings – Who chooses?

June 8, 2020 Skip

In almost all things, I try to view events or happenings of the day from base Principles. I guess it is the engineer in me combined with having watched, as a political blogger, too many politicians, and bureaucrats say and do say lots of words to get you to “oh, ok” WITHOUT necessarily allowing you to realize “ok…WHAT???”

Two of the 45 Declared Goals of Communism in America Relate to Mobs and Local Policing

June 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Once again, we can return to the work of Cleon Skousen’s Naked Communist for guidance on the day’s events. Skousen’s list had been prophetic, and the recent “unrest” is no different.

As Old Media Shifts Focus Online GraniteGrok Continues to Dominate the Space

June 14, 2020June 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Several of New Hampshire’s ‘Newspapers’ have gone *begging for donations to stay afloat. Some have shifted more content online and abandoned 7-days a week print editions. With an increasing shift to digital, how has GraniteGrok’s dominance held up?

A Majority of the Minneapolis City Council Announce Intent to Entirely Defund the Police

June 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Coming soon to a Democrat city near you. More crime in the Black Community! At least that seems to be the trend when activists make a scene, and law enforcement “pulls back” as a result. Minneapolis, the epicenter of the recent protests, has decided to go one better. They plan to disband the police, so what does that mean?

Carlos Cardona is a Shameless Liar

June 7, 2020 Ed Mosca

So back in March, I posted LOCK HIM UP – Carlos Cardona Should Be Incarcerated, which mocked Democrats in general and Cardona in particular for treating biological sex as an artificial construct. More specifically, I seized upon a tweet by Cardona calling Julian Castro the “only Latino running” and went on an obviously tongue-in-cheek rant … Read more
