The current crop of presidential candidates on the left leaves much to be desired. They can’t help being Democrats but ignoring that even Democrats are not too fired up about them. So, a Harvard Harris Poll added some new players to take the voter’s temperature.
The IG report on FISA abuse by the FBI dropped today. The Left got one nugget. Horowitz suggests there was the thinnest reed of predication to open an investigation. The bare minimum standard. Not much else goes well for the FBI.
I ran across this piece at Fast Company and completely agreed with it (reformatted, emphasis mine). Want a happy employee? Give them an office New research into employee happiness and office planning confirms what anyone who has worked in an open office knows: Privacy trumps hip design. I know, I know. You just ordered a … Read more
In his recent post, I was a little surprised to see Steve say this: ‘By its very nature, the Republican brand eschews a policy of protecting people from themselves.’
So the War on Drugs — which is about protecting people from themselves — is part of the Democrat brand?
“There is nothing in the law that requires schools to follow one practice or another. They have discretion.” Was it on bad advice from the NH School Board association? After all, the NHSBA thought that a mere political subdivision of the State (school board) had authorizing Legislation that gave it the Power (Government has Powers, … Read more
This is rather startling news! I’m betting that the DNC and it’s swarm of strategists are plotzing all over themselves:
Steve has a thoughtful post on Republican messaging – it’s a problem. And his post caught me square between the eyes as it is one heckova problem because he’s right: the GOP is losing. It’s that old age issue: what do you say to counter “FREE”? First and as a long term “thing”, get Conservatives … Read more
If the left’s culture war hasn’t found you yet, it will and not just on the seasonal front. But since it is The Season, here’s an opportunity for you to decide if the culture war is knocking on your door? Trigger warning. Santa is a white male. (Dramatic Music!)
Steve used pics of all THREE Matts running to put Pappas back in his kitchen. But the Union Leader decided to put Matt’s opponent’s picture in the article about Matt Mayberry. What schlubs!
It should not be a secret. Democrats and their experts are social engineers. They use government force (higher taxes, regulation, and policy) to control your behavior. Not toward your interests or what you believe improves you or your life, but to use you to advance their priorities and state power.
The third Tax of Christmas the Democrats gave to me…. A Road Usage Registration Fee Traveling on the snowy roads is difficult – now Democrats want to institute a new Road Usage Fee for when you register your car?! This is just absurd – last Christmas, Democrats tried to raise the tolls and now they … Read more
People all over the country depend on their credit cards to get them through tough times, or to make a larger purchase that they can then pay off as they go. If you are someone who is curious about some of the best credit cards out there, as well as some of the benefits they … Read more
Boys claiming to be girls to compete in their sporting events was a predictable problem. It’s not a cultural or social issue; it is a genetic issue. Mother Nature, the creator, God, evolution, whomever you care to finger for the distinctions gave men and women different advantages.
I know this is not news anywhere else, but US Attorney General William Barr indicted eight individuals for illegal campaign contributions to Democrat campaign committees supporting Hillary Clinton.
Yes, I chuckled because sometimes it CAN seem that way. Best is the “FINE!” retort – man, are you in deep sneakers! And the “I don’t care” said several times is a ‘tell’ that TMEW DOES care but I’m not going to find out how, over what, and when. I’ve been told I’ve above average … Read more
This: Not a dictator? Xi had his rubber-stamp National People’s Congress change the Chinese Constitution in 2018 to make him President for life. (Formerly Chinese dictators … oops, I mean Presidents … were term-limited (two five-year terms), with the Communist Party naming their successors.) And Xi is not just a dictator; he is a tyrannical … Read more
“I never heard an apology”
It is the common tactic and technique that Socialists will lie – the means justify the ends in politics. Anyone that has been reading GraniteGrok since the beginning of summer knows our battle with Jan Schmidt beginning with her lie that we were the cause of the four Merrimack Democrat NH State Reps getting police protection.
The US Supreme Court has been asked to consider a case that started locally in Laconia New Hampshire. Three women want to hang out on the beach. Topless. After losing their case in the NH Supreme court, they are hoping the US Supreme Court will take a look.
The EPA has recognized New Hampshire for its significant strides in reducing pollutants from coal-fired power. But the crazy climate alarmists can’t abide cheap, abundant energy. So, they do dumb things. The most recent one required first responders to deploy police cars, boats, and a helicopter.
