Bette Midler, the Mouth That Roars

At this point in 2022 with elections looking to go very red in November the left is getting increasingly desperate. Celebrities seem near panic as evidence (has been) star Bette Midler, trying to be relevant, has reportedly urged demonstrators going to protest at the Republican National Convention “to go armed”. And here I thought Bette … Read more

Russia Plows Ahead

So the Russian military continues the war in eastern Ukraine, inching slowly forward, while Putin forces Europe to continue to buy his oil. Russia has accused Ukraine prisoners of being Nazis and threatens to try them for war crimes. Pot calling the Kettle Black, it seems to me, especially with no specific “crimes” other than … Read more

NH State Senator Bob Guida’s Agenda (For Gunstock Area Commissioners)

The Daily Sun continues its support of the Citizens for Gunstock by featuring an opinion piece by senator Giuda.  While calling out others for dishonesty, he uses incorrect references for support. He claims the delegation violated the enabling statute and claims appointees need ‘experience in ski area business or strategic planning.’  The actual law as amended 2020 … Read more

Another Democrat Vote Buying Program Emerges Before the Elections

Just as the Dems are using various measures to make sure crime pays, they are also thinking of ways to make people “comfortable” being poor.  They need to, because poverty is the lifeblood of the Democrat Party. Without high levels of poverty, the Democrat Party would wither away.  This is why they implement policies that guarantee poverty will be sustained at a high level, and then offering “free” poverty-related benefits to ensure the votes will keep rolling in.

DISQUS Doodlings: Socialism Disavows Individual Responsibility – The Old “Makers vs Takers” Connundrum

Note: No, not me this time but from “Vindaloo Bugaboo”, also a frequent commenter at Treehugger who would fit in well here at GraniteGrok.  I liked what he wrote at one of TH those posts and asked if he’d “translate” it for GraniteGrok. And no, I had no input in that commenting series as he was doing so splendidly well!

As a child, one of my favorite bedtime stories my mum would read me was the 1974 Scholastic Books classic, “Little Red Hen” by Paul Galdone.

So McDonald’s Thinks It Can Force “Ordering Compliance”?

Last week, the Grandson had to have a tooth removed (lower front as his permanent tooth had erupted behind that baby tooth) and a couple of cavities filled. TMEW promised him that later on that day, we’d take him to McDonald’s.  Well, that didn’t happen as he, like many kids his age, bit his lower … Read more

Announcement: GilfordGrok is now LakesRegionGrok!

When Doug and I started GraniteGrok, things were fine and dandy as we were blogging about State and National level issues (for the most part). Then we discovered that wasn’t holding water any more as we found, under the rubric of “What’s happening in our town is happening in yours”, we took a look backwards and saw that we were doing more Gilford politics than not. Figuring that folks might not like that emphasis, we started our first “MicroGrok” (even as we didn’t think of it in that fashion) in starting GilfordGrok. We now announce that it is growing up: LakesRegionGrok.

Heating Oil Costs Are Rippling across My Life and Family

Today, I had an eye-opener, reality check, slap in the face, call it what you want, can you guess what it was? It’s the cost of heating oil. Heating oil is now up to $6.50 per gallon. If you were to get a delivery of 200 gallons that fill-up will cost $1,300. A year ago, … Read more

Gary Kiedaisch - Gunstock Area Commission

An open letter to Gunstock Area Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch: Resign

For months you have been at the epicenter of conflict between the Belknap County Delegation and the Gunstock Area Commission. You have garnered public support through falsehoods and outright lies. Now that the GAC legal bills have become public, the general public can compare the legal activity that you have initiated to the timeline of … Read more

No Thank You, Senator Hassan!

I just watched her latest political commercial in stunned disbelief.  In the video she proposes giving us simple serfs a federal gas tax holiday, while concurrently emptying our strategic oil reserves.
