Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-07-28 21:00 +0000
In the movie ‘A Few Good Men’, Corporal Dawson doesn’t want to plead guilty to killing Private Santiago to get a short sentence.

Underwood: It’s Not about The Kids

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-07-28 18:00 +0000
In the comments on a recent post, someone expressed the commonly held (and much-applauded) attitude that, It’s the kids in the classrooms that matter here..

Fox 23 has a touching story about the concern among Maine’s homeless advocates after President Trump signed an order, “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets.”  Endemic vagrancy, disorderly behavior, sudden confrontations, and violent attacks have made our cities unsafe.  The number of individuals living on the streets in the United States on a single ...

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-07-28 02:00 +0000
There is a tremendous difference between weaponizing our Justice and Intelligence Departments to damage a political opponent and using credible evidence to bring political operatives to justice. What the Democrats did to Donald Trump during his first term and after he left office in 2021 was Lawfare. The two impeachments of President Trump were done ... Read more

MacDonald: I Know You are, But What Am I?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-07-27 16:00 +0000
One of the few things Democrat leadership is good at teaching its cult members is projection. If a Democrat says it, or accuses you of it, or tries to sue you or impeach you, they are doing it, have done it, or are about to. It is no accident that the people who went after ... Read more

Cardello: Are We Going To Be Sucked In Again

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-07-27 14:00 +0000
I would bet my last dollar that the answer is absolutely. We all want accountability. We know what happened, and all of our assumptions, which we instinctively feel are probably true. Still, we will never see a significant member of the Obama, Hillary, or Biden teams on a perp walk, and there are so many ... Read more

The emissions lawsuit opera continues after a court told the environmentalists suing the state of Vermont for missing its made-up emissions target that you can’t sue them for missing a target we won’t know we’ve missed until 2027.

The people who use the term anti-vaxxer are either short on information and have no clue what they are saying, or they are willing stoges acting as unpaid lobbyists for Big Pharma.
