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

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-10 18:00 +0000
Tucked away in a residential neighborhood, a short distance from downtown Plymouth, affectionately known as “America’s Hometown,” can be found the largest granite statue in the United States.  The statue is called the “Forefather’s Monument.”  It was often overlooked and even unknown to locals and tourists alike. But thanks to the efforts of Leo and ... Read more

Payne: A Good Man Inspires Up

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-10 16:00 +0000
The lack of strong Fathers in Godly-ordained families weakens families, which are the backbone of our American Republic. Some dads need to be both mother and father. Such was the case with my dad. Growing up the youngest of three boys, my Dad was my hero. Son of a ship carpenter on the Ohio River, ... Read more

Opinion: Election Integrity Advocates Score Big Win in NH

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-10 14:00 +0000
A small group of residents in Hollis, NH, has been reviewing the town’s voter rolls and believes they may be overinflated. NH RSA wants voter rolls to be within 0 to 5% tolerance of error and we felt they were not based on our group doing some sampling of names. After conducting further research, we ... 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

The Vermont School District Redistricting Task Force met for the first time on August 1st. I’ve been checking the Agency of Administration’s web page for the group, hoping they’ll post the meeting recording or at least the minutes for review. So far, no good. But they did post the agenda (no actual work involved; just a meet ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-09 21:00 +0000
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was on a short list to ride Kamala’s 2024 train wreck as her vice president. In a 2024 fisking by Newsweek, Shapiro’s appeal included being popular in Pennsylvania, a swing state Kamal would need and ultimately lost.

Ortolano: This Is What Viewpoint Discrimination Looks Like in Nashua

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-09 18:00 +0000
On August 4th, I stood before Nashua’s Personnel and Administrative Affairs Committee to comment on a proposed ordinance that would conditionally ban signs, banners, and flags in the Aldermanic Chamber. I came with three 8.5” x 11” paper signs to test whether the City’s rule would be enforced fairly, or selectively. The signs were silent. ... Read more

Bowman: Easy Doesn’t Teach

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-09 16:00 +0000
I’m so old that I can recall how Europeans used to frown over America’s inhibitions regarding sexuality. Sadly, such a critique is no longer voiced. My memory was jolted from a brief review in John Stormer’s 1998 best seller, None Dare Call It Education. Although experienced by those of my age set, Stormer’s concise listing ... Read more

Smith: Counseling For That Narcissism, Rep Ming?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-09 14:00 +0000
Delusions of grandeur are high on the diagnostic checklist for Narcissism.  Just look at the DSM-3-R or any other authority on such matters.  Former Rep Ming has shown similar behaviors during last year’s campaign season, such as claiming to be the first Asian rep when it simply wasn’t true.  Now he’s outdone himself in his ...

MacDonald: Requiring a Visa Security Deposit is a Great Idea

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-09 11:00 +0000
Meetings in the Trump White House are likely remarkably different from those of Democrats. While the left schemes to secure more power and protect itself from those who might object, Team Trump is making lists of things that will trigger lefties. I don’t know, that’s how I picture it, and how hard can it be? ... Read more

In my recent “Cage Match Conversation” with fellow WDEV radio host Kevin Ellis (Great debate, check out the podcast!), the subject of electric vehicles and the recent decision by Congress to end the EPA’s ability to regulate tailpipe CO2 emissions as pollutants came up.

Opinion: Hold Dog Owners Criminally Accountable in New Hampshire

This isn’t a fluff piece about menacing mutts—it’s a demand for justice. When dangerous dogs hurt people, it’s not a neighborly dog problem—it’s a community safety issue ripe for the New Hampshire Legislature to own up to. 1. Current Law Doesn’t Cut It: Civil Only?

MacDonald: Apple, Republicans, Democrats, and America

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-08-08 21:00 +0000
Apples don’t have a nut to crack, but Trump figured it out anyway. After applying a lot of pressure and signaling that he’d never back down, Apple promised to increase its total 4-year investment in America to $600 billion. Why? It may be “cheaper” than pandering (and enriching) human rights violators like China in exchange ... Read more
