Smith: Shared Districts, Make It Make Sense

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-05-26 18:00 +0000
Most people assume there’s a method to the madness when it comes to redistricting every 10 years.  Having voted in the 2nd largest city for so long and having only been paying attention to such things for a short while, I became somewhat simple minded. Nashua has a population of about 90,000, and it also ... Read more

Take a break from your Memorial Day activities, which had best include remembering those who died in the name of defending America, to laugh and wonder and poke a little fun at the world, especially the political bits that continue to intrude on every corner of our lives. Yes, even on Memorial Day, you need ... Read more

Cardello: The One Constant We Have Had Over Time Is Our Veterans

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-05-26 14:00 +0000
Our country has had many phases over its relatively short life. From those brave men and women who boarded ships in Europe and headed West, unsure where they would land or what they would find, we have grown together, unfortunately, apart. We are a mere child pushing 250 years, while Greece has been around since ... Read more

MacDonald: You No Longer Need A Local License to Sell Firearms

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-05-26 12:00 +0000
Earlier in the week, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed HB551, which repealed the requirement for an additional local retail license to lawfully sell firearms in the Granite State. Firearms dealers are already required to have a federal firearms license (FFL), which the previous Administration was systematically turning into a trap. Numerous FFLs I know ... Read more

Imani: A Flame Eternal – Honoring the fallen on Memorial Day

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-05-26 10:00 +0000
The air feels heavier on Memorial Day, as if the weight of sacrifice lingers in the breeze. Across the nation, flags ripple at half-mast, and quiet moments of reflection unfold in cemeteries, homes, and hearts. This is not a day for barbecues alone or casual ushering in summer. It is a sacred pause, a collective ... Read more

Relearning the Lessons We Never Learned from World War I

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-05-26 02:00 +0000
On August 10, 1915, British physicist Henry Mosely—who would’ve likely won the Nobel Prize that year—died in perhaps the most disastrous error mankind has thus far made, The First World War (1914-18). Bright and pious fellow humans that had absorbed German, French, British, Russian “identities”; students, fathers, engineers, “great minds,” and “experts,” who even shared ... Read more

MacDonald: George Floyd, Five Years Later

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-05-25 22:00 +0000
Kelli Stavast doesn’t get enough credit. She’s the (former?) NBC Pit Reporter at the Talladega Motor Speedway who, when interviewing Brandon Brown, conveniently interpreted the chant F*ck Joe Biden (during a live interview) as Let’s Go Brandon. The rest is history. George Floyd, on the other hand, got far more credit than was his due. ... Read more

Underwood: ‘Education dollars’ make no more sense than ‘Transportation dollars’

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-05-25 20:00 +0000
I just got my new jetpack, and my new micro-helicopter, so I won’t be using the roads anymore.  Who do I see about getting my ‘road dollars’ back? What, you say?  There’s no such thing?  We just pay for the roads, and whoever wants to use them can?  And because anyone can use them, we ... Read more

Imani: Ousting John Cornyn

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-05-25 18:00 +0000
Texas stands at a crossroads, and the 2026 U.S. Senate race is shaping up to be a seismic clash that will shake the Lone Star State to its core. On one side, we have Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General, a relentless champion of conservative values and a loyal ally of President Donald Trump. On the other hand, ... Read more

MacDonald: Biden Admin Hid Dangerous COVID Jab Side Effects From the Public…

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-05-25 16:00 +0000
Several stories broke in the past few days about the Biden Administration’s mishandling of the pandemic. Try as I might, I couldn’t get them both into the title. The Democrat Administration was hiding dangerous COVID-19 vaccine side effects from the public while labeling people concerned about harmful side effects as dangerous, violent extremists. First. “The ... Read more

Klar: Why Don’t the British Like US Beef?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-05-25 14:00 +0000
Reciprocal relief over a UK-US trade deal has boosted markets and allayed anxieties on both sides of the Atlantic. Yet, many voices in the United Kingdom are skeptical of US agricultural products, especially beef. The difference in farming techniques of the two nations is at the root of the friction, displaying a problem called “non-tariff ... Read more

MacDonald: Trump Trades Wind for Gas

New York’s massive Empire Wind project has received the green light from the White House in exchange for the approval of two natural gas pipelines that would have to travel through New York State. When the news first broke that President Trump’s White House had agreed to let the offshore wind development proceed, I was ... Read more

Cardello: Hakeem Jeffries Says It Is Not Time For Politics

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-05-25 10:00 +0000
Hakeem is absolutely right. It is not time for politics. It is time for answers, truth, transparency, and accountability. It is time for Democrat perp walks. I want to see every person in the Biden administration take their turn in front of a Congressional hearing and, when found complicit to the worst conspiracy in our ... Read more

Roper: Unless It Lowers Taxes, Vote NO

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-05-24 22:00 +0000
I’m speaking primarily to Republicans because the Democrats are not going to pay attention or care, or, if they do, buck their party leadership – just a quick reminder that back in November 2024, your voters didn’t go into the polls screaming, “We have too many school districts!” They weren’t calling on you to close ...

MacDonald: Vermont Didn’t Miss It’s Emission Reduction Target

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-05-24 20:00 +0000
As reported back in March, Vermont is pretending to be concerned about arbitrary man-made emissions reduction targets. Two months ago, experts predicted the state would miss by as much as 12%. All the usual suspects were pearl-clutching and hand-wringing, despite decisions about the things measured being as arbitrary and man-made as the target. What counts ... Read more

If you were unaware, Smith College, formerly an all-women’s College, has fallen prey to ideology over fairness and respect for biological women.  They decided that for their commencement, they would honor a biological male who identifies as a female.
