KLAR: Charlie Kirk and the Crisis of Free Speech in America

Granite Grok - 5 hours 19 min ago

 I met Charlie Kirk here in Vermont back in November of 2021, when he spoke at the uber-liberal University of Vermont in his “Exposing Critical Racism Tour.” Especially for such a young man, he was profoundly intelligent and confident, exhibiting a Christian faith and outspoken courage that was matched by humility and grace. He stayed ... Read more

GrokTALK!: Is This Why The Left is Afraid?

Granite Grok - 7 hours 19 min ago

The left isn’t stupid; they’re crazy and increasingly not afraid to let you see it. And while the progressive movement’s leaders are concerned about Middle America getting too strong a whiff of that stench, it isn’t what they fear most. That’s our topic today on GrokTALK! Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent ... Read more

MACDONALD: Union Gets Uppity About #WOKE Teachers Getting Fired

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-09-22 21:00 +0000

In the wake of a rise in teacher firings (for celebrating a public execution), the Massachusetts Teachers Association is demanding that districts and colleges defend their educators. “The ongoing campaign by extreme-right conservatives to discredit and defund public education has grotesquely exploited the shooting death of Charlie Kirk to launch attacks against people commenting on ...

PAYNE: Blueprint for Liberty

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-09-22 18:00 +0000

Below is an invitation to view the eternal wisdom of our Founding Fathers, the reason for American Exceptionalism that has blessed our nation with more freedom than all other people who have walked the face of the earth.

Welcome to week 39 of 2025, week 35 of the Trump presidency (it’s only been 35 weeks), and it is, of course, another Monday, which means memes. Not too many. About thirty. We want to ease you into the week, but enough to get your meme-week jump-started. . . . . . . . . ... Read more

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-09-22 14:00 +0000

SO, as to avoid rewriting a previous article, I will refer you to this link in case you haven’t already read it.  A few others and I RSVPed to Daniel Richard and met him in Concord to sign the paperwork he prepared for his school funding-related remonstrance.  Tom Murray, Nurse Terese, Dan Melvin, Deb Roux, Doris, and ...

MACDONALD: Talk About FAFO!

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-09-22 11:00 +0000

In case you missed it, a business owner named Kaili Lamb took to social media after Charlie Kirk was murdered to share her thoughts in the moment. “Sorry, not sorry what a (expletive) douche.” Before she could take it back, “…Lamb’s post quickly went viral — sparking outrage and prompting a flood of negative reviews ...

OPINION: Why They Must Go

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-09-22 02:00 +0000

I just finished reading a comment in response to a video about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and it got me thinking. This person was, reasonably, wondering about whether it is okay to fire an employee because they had celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death publicly. I had to wonder if we should go in the cancellation direction, so ... Read more

Elsa Kurt Show: A Nation Transformed by Political Violence

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-09-22 00:00 +0000

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has triggered a profound cultural and spiritual awakening across America, with conservatives recognizing the fundamental differences in values that can no longer be ignored. This tragedy serves as a catalyst for a nationwide revival, from surging church attendance to an explosion of interest in Turning Point USA, where 58,000 new ... Read more

ORTOLANO: When Emotion Replaces Judgment, Taxpayers Pay

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-09-21 21:00 +0000

On July 31, 2025, the Superior Court held a hearing on my motion to disqualify Corporation Counsel Steven Bolton and Deputy Corporation Counsel Celia Leonard from my cases. The issue wasn’t about winning a motion; it was whether two city lawyers, locked in years of conflict with a citizen critic, could still do the job “with ...

ROPER: When “Green” Is Not Sustainable

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-09-21 18:00 +0000

Seven Days ran an article recently about Vermont’s solar industry and the impact of federal cuts to the subsidies they’ve enjoyed for years. The headline authors called the cuts an “attack.” No, it’s not an attack. No private business is entitled to taxpayer funds to keep it afloat. Be grateful for what you got and ... Read more

NITZAKHON: More Links From my Jarhead Friend

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-09-21 16:00 +0000

I was very sad to learn that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated.  He had a way of asking questions that forced the liberals to confront their own hypocrisy, and THAT’S what made him effective (too effective for some on the left apparently).  The ONLY good side of that is a lot of the liberals are ...

MACDONALD: Democrats Are The Party of Expensive Failures

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-09-21 11:00 +0000

Democrats got pissy (by which I mean the Handmaiden media) when the Federal agency tasked with public health safety rejected a combo-vaccine because, based on their expert opinion, the way we’ve been doing it was safer. The MMRV combo is still acceptable for kids four years and older, but based on the available research, they ... Read more

LEMISKA: Free Speech, Hateful Rhetoric, and Useful Idiots

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-09-21 02:00 +0000

Those three elements converged early on a September afternoon to destroy two young lives. One was well-known and well-respected, a beloved husband and father, a crusader for free speech. The other was an obscure coward, who threw away what could have been a promising future. He had succumbed to the hateful lies relentlessly spewed by ... Read more
