OPINION: Why is NH Journal So Opposed to RSA 91-A?

And why are they writing press releases for Lyn Schollett? On March 3rd, a committee of the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted 9 to 7, along strict party lines, to advance Amendment 0946h to House Bill 1675. Before that final vote, it’s worth noting what happened on the amendment itself: it passed 16 to … Read more

Is NH-NeverTrump Journal Actually Part Of The DeSantis Campaign?

NH Journal (NH-NeverTrump Journal) is to the Establishment-NHGOP what MSNBC is to the Biden-Regime … a propaganda organ. If you peruse NH-NeverTrump Journal’s twitter-feed … as I do regularly, in order to see what narrative the Establishment-NHGOP wants pushed … you may have noticed a change in the target. Instead of incessantly attacking Trump, as … Read more

NH-NeverTrump Journal … The Big Lie

Did you know that the four totally bogus indictments of President Trump are actually part of a Democrat plan to make him the GOP nominee? Of course, you did NOT. At least not until Mikey Graham over at NH-NeverTrump Journal told you. You see … GOP voters are dumb … really, really, really dumb … … Read more

Hey Mikey … Want To See A Real Fringe Conspiracist … Look In The Mirror

So let’s talk about fringe conspiracies. One that immediately comes to mind is that the COVID “vaccine” is a vaccine. It’s NOT. It neither prevents infection nor, once infected, transmission to others. Yet Mikey Graham keeps pushing the conspiracy theory that the COVID “vaccine” is actually a vaccine. And speaking of COVID, another conspiracy theory … Read more

Damn Right We Should Build A Choo Choo To Beantown

If we can spend billions on padding the pockets of the military-industrial complex and the kleptocrat Zelensky … yes, I am talking about the war in Ukraine, which should be called the Deep State’s War of Aggression Against Russia, given its true genesis was the Obama-regime’s 2014 coup which installed a Western-puppet-government in Kyiv. If … Read more

Hey NH-NeverTrumpJournal … Any Comment On The FBI Rigging The 2020 Election?

We have known for some time that one of the multiple ways that the 2020 election was rigged is that the Hunter Biden laptop … which in addition to showing that crack-head Hunter was a crackhead and lawbreaker, showed that the “Big Guy” was into Hunter’s grift up to his eyebrows … was censored. We recently learned that the wellspring for the censorship was the FBI:

NH-NeverTrumpJournal Still Shilling For Biden

So some radio show recently hosted a debate for the GOP CD-1 candidates. Of course, the NHGOP-Establishment moderator tried to get the candidates to sign on to the NHGOP-Establishment’s narrative that 2020 was a resounding rejection of Trump and the GOP needs to get back to its Bush-Cheney-McCain-Romney roots. Karoline Leavitt was having none of it,

Hey! Dufus! Why the Hell Aren’t You Covering “This!?”

Both hands and a flashlightShawn Millerick, the head of the political fiction section at NH Journal, wanted to know why we at GraniteGrok were not covering the real world story about Ann McKluster Kuster not paying her property taxes.  The appropriate response was to provide a link to the story I actually wrote on February 5th about how Ann McKluster Kuster was not paying her property taxes.  A story I updated with additional comments from the Chairs of both political parties and a bit of exposition with regard to the sources.

It was a story posted the same day as the first story at NH Journal about how Ann McKluster Kuster was not paying her taxes, at roughly 6 am, perhaps even before NHJ pushed out their version; a story with the eponymous title…”Annie McKluster Doesn’t Pay Her Taxes?”

How hard could that be to find?  I’m pondering a pithy epithet for the NHJ Political Fiction Department that involves an ass, both hands, and a flashlight.

Shawn Millerick: kettle, black

How is it the biggest opportunity to bash a Democrat/Liberal comes along and you guys have stories about snow storms on your site? Kuster dodging taxes is not big enough to cover?? You guys are lame. Keep going after everyone else. I suspect I was the only person who read your site today so you should thank me.

Now, we make no bones about it – we are a state level blog in one of the Union’s smallest States staffed by a small group of part-timers; we know where we stand in the greater blogosphere.  While we do have several award winning bloggers and while our traffic is mild compared to some, we’re ok with our size and are grateful to every reader that comes to the ‘Grok, even if it is just one.  But this had me scratching my head – NH Journal puts itself up as THE place to go here in NH for this kind of stuff, and has full timers (or did – I only go over there maybe a couple times a year at best) and with Hynsie’s former blogger cred for link love, I figured that their traffic would give credence to Millerick’s sneering.  Instead, we’ve caught another acting like Fergus “The Fringe” Cullen.

Staphylococcus at NH Journal?

Has NH Journal developed a Staff Infection?
Has NH Journal developed a “Staff” Infection?

NH Journal appears to have developed the flesh eating variety of the “staph” infection, and it looks serious.  It has already claimed someone’s balls.

The castrated scribbler in question–see also “Staff Reporter”–has written a nifty little attack piece in which they observed that Jack Kimball had endorsed Andrew Hemingway for NH-GOP Chairman.

The endorsement is no surprise. Many of Kimball’s few remaining supporters – including Joe Barton, a man he called his “black opps guy” – have backed Hemingway for weeks.

Thank the Lord they quote John DiStaso in advance of that gem or we’d have to wonder if the NHJ mystery reporter was just making it up like that secret meeting that NH Journal invented back in late October with Kimball and some named “remaining followers.”  Once you start making news so you can report it, everyone has to question everything you publish, even when the by-line is from such a well known and respected journalist as Staff Reporter.

Talking? Shouldn’t you ask your Boss about “talking” to people first?

It seemed semi-coincidental that after I put up the posts on the NH GOP E-Board angst (I and II, with a side dish here) that I had a tweet sent my way by Kerry Marsh:

Tweet Kerry Marsh To Skip: talk

My take is that both Jim Foley and Steve Duprey DID their talking (in either a series of emails to a few, and then to more than a few) as well as talking to all of us via John DiStaso.

But I was rather bemused at the next notification – a retweet of Kerry Marsh’s tweet:

Jennifer Horn – Is She Wishing She was “Someone Else?” (Updated and Bumped)

Well, ain’t this sweet?

NH Journal, you remember them, Shawn Millerick, Pat Hynes…they specialize in political fiction.  Well, I guess they had a poll asking who should be the next Chair of the NHGOP.

The NH Journal Poll has the following results:

Who should be the next Chair of the NHGOP?
Andrew Hemingway (59%)
Someone else (21%)
Jennifer Horn (20%)

So does the Candidate NH Journal and the Establishment GOP are pimping for, Jennifer Horn, wish she was “someone else” about now?  At least that way she’d be in second place in the race for Chairman instead of last.

NH Journal – Shawn Millerick: stooge for the Gnome of the North

Well, I guess that the battle will now be joined.  Shawn Millerick is a partner / friend with Pat Hynes (a former friend and co-host in “Meet The New Press” radio show that was the number one talk show in the NH Lakes Region) in NH Journal (and other activities) decided that NH Journal was going to start to “shape the battlefield” with this “out of thin air” post:

Sources: Kimball to stage comeback attempt as party chairman

After having served a failed half-term as Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee – a term that ended in his last-second resignation just before being ousted – Jack Kimball may attempt to engineer a comeback and challenge Jennifer Horn for the post, sources tell NH Journal.

 According to sources, Kimball will host a private strategy meeting on Friday to discuss the race for chairman and seek an opponent to Horn, who is backed by most party big-wigs. According to one source, if no other candidate emerges from the meeting, Kimball has said he would go for it.

Some of those invited to the meeting include Kimball, Skip Murphy, Diane Bitter, Joe Barton and Gerry and Sue DeLemus.

Really?  “Sources”?  Those in his head? So be it.  I sent that post to all the folks  to check because I was never contacted for verification.  Turns out, nobody was.  Simply put, this was a hit piece just like the Obama folks do – an attempt to discredit folks that might be playing a role in fighting yet another Sununu sock puppet.

Sources“?  Those in his head? Or those just whispering in his ear (the Left one)?  Journalistic Integrity? So be it.    #WAR

Let’s  follow some connections in a quick exercise of “Six degrees of Kevin Bacon”?
