Some folks should stay away from Social Media. Nashua Alderman and NH House Rep. Jan Schmidt, for example. It appears as if she is incapable of doing anything online without putting her foot in her mouth. A right to which she is entitled.
NH State Rep. Sherry Frost uses social media to engage in political activity but limits access. In other words, she blocks people. The last time I checked, it was bad when a Republican did that. And it matters, so let’s add some context.
Can a federal government that acknowledges no limits to its scope, and that responds promiscuously to the multiplying appetites of proliferating factions, make choices that serve the society’s long-term interests? The answer, based on the avalanche of evidence from current governance, is an emphatic “no.” The evidence is in the rise of the administrative state … Read more
I’ve seen a sampling of the reports. Large crowds. A lot of violence. No social distancing. And why bother? The point of the former, the mask mandates, all the virus socialism, was to create fear. Riots do that and more.
As a followup to the previous piece on Antifa being declared a terrorist group, Kurt Schlichter (a national treasure) shared a few thoughts on Twitter that you may find interesting. Like, “This is an opportunity to destroy Antifa root and branch, and to eliminate the armed wing of the Democrat party.”
We have close to 200 articles on GraniteGrok that are about or reference ANTIFA. A group formed in the 1930s for one purpose. To recruit National Socialists into the communist party. Terrorism and violence is always a solution.
Here’s another nail in the COVID-19 Crime of the Century Pandemic Narrative Coffin. Several nails, actually, each with a different international pedigree. Experts in the United Kingdom, Russia, Denmark, and Germany, are (literally) calling the response Bulls**t!
New Hampshire Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky masked-up and virtue-signaled his way through Manchester the other day. He said something about George Floyd and Black Lives Matter. You mean the group whose co-founder said white Democrats use black people for photo-ops?
Interesting article in the Daily Mail about how various states’ consumer spending is going relative to a baseline set by Google in January/February. While some states are 1-2% less than baseline (Mississippi, Oklahoma, Idaho, Arkansas), New Hampshire is much further down (although heading in the right direction):
Observation from Instapundit: DISTURBING THOUGHTS FROM A FRIEND ON FACEBOOK: “At this point China may be like Wilhelmine Germany in 1914 after the mobilization orders went out. The Plans are being executed. To stop before a predetermined victory condition, such as the surrender of Taiwan, risks the collapse of the military and the economy and … Read more
Fake news about climate-crisis driven scarcity is not just common; it’s a 30-year pandemic. Coffee is no newcomer to that game. And since they’ve got you trapped at home, now is as good a time as any to lie to you some more. OMG! Global Warming threatens (another) coffee bean crisis!
The question, with the deadline for renewal approaching, was, “Given what we know now, Should Gov Sununu Extend the NH State of Emergency Another 21-Days?” Our response and the majority of yours was a resounding no.
Sigh, I guess this will mean I’ll get dropped from yet another email list….c’est la! I saw something in this Presser from the NH Federation of College Republicans that made my heart sink and my brain go “WHAT! Don’t they KNOW better than to think / write this??? Emphasis mine: For Immediate Release: 05/30/2020 Press … Read more
We’ll dig into this more soon, but it seemed important enough just to get it out there. Do you recall the uproar over Planned Parenthood selling baby parts? Major players and “Corporate” denied knowledge. They lied.
Mark Smith celebrates 10 years in recovery from his opiate addiction. “It’s been a whole decade since I entered a rehab center,” he says. “Though I decided to get treatment, I still had doubts. You know, they say “Once an addict, always an addict.” The stigma is strong.” Indeed, society has a lot of misconceptions … Read more
Most car owners would like to use their cars to their maximum capacity but what happens when they crash too early? This is why you need to keep your car safe and reliable as much as you can. Cars are valuable possessions, which means they cost a lot of money and it is only proper … Read more
Is there such a thing as benefits of a principled tax burden? If there were; what would they be? Fact: taxes lower the economic welfare of citizens.
A Keene, New Hampshire city Councilor (at-Large Randy Filiault) says he will propose an ordinance requiring masks indoors in public places across the city. A move that the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) says, “may, paradoxically, lead to more transmission of Covid-19…”
Is it possible that Nashua politicians know masks won’t do anything, but they want to yank your chain (virtue signal) and make you think they care and are protecting you? Or are they idiots who get their science from Trump-hating MSNBC talking heads?
