UPDATE: The GOOD thing is that because of all of you readers and contributors, we raised $3,000;   That struck out sentence is now wrong – it is now $4,000; a thousand dollars came in overnight!!!!  I can’t tell or express myself well enough to tell you how grateful this ordinary schlub from central NH is for all of you.

You will be seeing that image quite a bit, perhaps, in the near future – a new website is coming as I’ve just “pulled the trigger”. Why?

We are getting exploited by known hacks in the older version of WP (at least, that’s what I’m being told) that we are on. Our hosting company has looked and scanned things over and we did even a did database RESTORES in trying to move backwards to get rid of the malware.  Unfortunately, nothing we’ve tried has worked.  Add to that, I don’t have the skills to crawl over our WordPress CMS (Content Management System that drives GraniteGrok) to hunt down and kill the crap that need killing (I could have when I built GraniteGrok 1.0 on Moveable Type but that’s long gone now).  The base problem is that we need a rebuild of the site to get it up to rev again.

“The bullies never go after people they can’t break, because to do so would make them look weak and impotent.”

On the outlook and actions of the Left:

But in the real world, there are times when one simply should not beg. And you’ll know those times by the character of your foe. If you’re up against the kind of monster who derives pleasure from hearing people plead for mercy, that’s when you cannot, must not, beg.

Today’s social justice leftists operate very much like that fictional serial killer. Their intended victims are people, sometimes in the public eye, sometimes average folks, who have written or said things that leftists find offensive. And if they mark you as an enemy, they will use every tool in their arsenal to destroy your life. If you have a job, they’ll try to get you fired. If you have a reputation, they’ll try to tarnish it. If you have a business venture, they’ll try to bankrupt it. If you have an online presence, they’ll try to get you banned from all platforms.

And certainly we (collectively and in some cases, individually) at the ‘Grok over the years have been subjected to this virtual “killing” simply for one and only one reason: we simply speak our minds and the Left hates it and looks for any opportunity for “a silencing”.

BUMPED (from 3/27/15): Ah now, we’re getting a tad closer as to the activities of one Dennis Senibaldi last month during Windham’s town elections. No, not quite the same but of the same nature. More soon! -Skip

******************

During the recent Windham School Board elections there was a photo posted on Mike Joanis’ campaign Facebook page at the Windham Transfer Station that shows he and Jerome Rekart campaigning with a photo of Dennis Senibaldi. No big deal right?

BUMPED: First posted on 3/24/15. Well, it seems that Dennis Senibaldi may have gotten himself into a peck of a place during this past election – and I’m not just talking about the blizzard we got. Our intrepid Kimberly was all over this – and it makes a great reminder of what current School Board member (and Windham Transfer Station guy) did – and how he may have acted during this just past election (birdies, birdies – they all tweet at me!). -Skip

**********************

There is new information concerning the shenanigans pulled by Windham School Board member Dennis Senibaldi last week during the school board meeting.

Every Friday a necessary read for me is Ammo Grrrll – a retired comedienne with a lovely sense of dry humor and lots of great turn of phrases. This Friday’s column was concerning the Parkland Kiddies; you know, “first I’m a high level Progressive Activist destroying peoples lives” – and when criticized – “How dare you pick on me, I’m a child!”:

But know this: the gun control despots will NEVER give up, as we can see with the well-financed Brain-Dead Blathering Teen Tour.
