MacDonald: Trump’s EPA Kills $7 Billion Solar Gimme; Dems Whine

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-10 21:00 +0000
The Clintons were famous for (among other things) taking souvenirs from the White House when their time ended in January of 2001. Things that temps don’t typically get to keep. I’m not sure if the Bidens followed the Clintons’ lead, but whoever was running the Biden Administration shoveled hundreds of billions of debt-bloating dollars into ... Read more

MacDonald: The True Heroes of COVID

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-10 11:00 +0000
I want to say that I didn’t want to say I told you so, but the terror-campaign, intimidation tactics, abrogation of civil and natural rights, along with the cultural compromises that came with the COVID Psyop, were too offensive not to. I told you so. As a prominent contributor to one of the few uncompromised ... Read more

Bowman: Easy Doesn’t Teach

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-09 16:00 +0000
