MACDONALD: Commie-Fails, Nuns, and Gerrymandering

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-17 21:00 +0000
A handful of stories are lined up on my browser tabs—two dozen tops. They are links people have sent me or things I’ve tripped over that caught my internet eye (after I tripped over it). Most will end up getting closed, but a few cling bitterly to my browser, hoping for life on ‘Grok’s pages. ... Read more

CARDELLO: Democrats Are Anti-Trump And Anti-Safety

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-17 18:00 +0000
Suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome is bad enough for Democrats, and a roadblock to even greater progress than Trump and his team are achieving on their own, but being against cleaning up the crime in our major cities is an embarrassment to the Party, and a dereliction of their duties. Next, they will be against ... Read more

ROPER: More Bad News for “Make Big Oil Pay”

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-17 16:00 +0000
Cue up the sad violins. On August 6, 2025, South Carolina Judge Roger Young dealt the latest blow to the shakedown scheme masquerading as climate justice popularly known as “Make Big Oil Pay” and officially, in Vermont at least, as the Climate Superfund Act. In another example of fraudulent misnaming by lawmakers, it is neither ... Read more

SMITH: Impeachments In Concord, Some Random Thoughts

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-17 14:00 +0000
Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill’s (KLH) days could be numbered, which is my hope, and I know that I’m not alone in it, but I would encourage everyone to refrain from talking about it with anyone in the Senate for the moment because enough votes in the House to impeach her could be a possibility. ...

MACDONALD: Is China Only Here to “Buy” New Hampshire’s Water?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-17 11:00 +0000
You’ve probably heard the story already. A Chinese company spends four times the asking price to get access to facilities and a significant source of fresh water in Southern New Hampshire. Pennichuk in Nashua supplies water to the towns that surround it. It is a substantial source of water in the area. We also have ... Read more

MACDONALD: Happy Birthday…

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-17 10:31 +0000
If August 17th is your birthday, you share it with me. Some on the left will be horrified to discover we share a birthday, but what will horrify them more is if you give a gift to ‘Grok on this last day of our donation matching fundraiser. Funding GraniteGrok means we continue to provide a ... Read more

BRADLEY: History’s Hall of Shame

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-17 02:00 +0000
Let’s take a stroll down History’s Hall of Shame! Moses parted the Red Sea and led the enslaved Israelites out of the Pharaonic tyranny of Egypt. The Son of God became man and preached “ Love thy neighbors as thyself “ and “Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall inherit the earth.” Then the Roman ... Read more

OPINION: Spending Cap Corruption

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-16 21:00 +0000
Board of Aldermen, Mayor Donchess, CFO Griffin, City Attorney Bolton: Last Tuesday, the aldermaniacs voted to Indefinitely Postpone the ill-conceived Tax Cap R-25-121 (disguised as a budget cap, but in reality, a tax cap). That is a very good thing. Hopefully, this Tax cap stays dead forever, for you have to be a financial ignoramus ... Read more

MACDONALD: How Long Until They Find A Reason To Kill* You?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-16 18:00 +0000
Those familiar with the slippery slope series have kept up with my years of observation and commentary on the question of state-sanctioned assisted suicide. At its simplest, the only obligation a state might have is to ensure contracts with health care and insurers are honored in these circumstances. The bills are paid and survivors get ... Read more

OPINION: Governor Ayotte, When Will You be Launching a Property Tax Crackdown?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-16 16:00 +0000
Governor Ayotte, When will you be launching a property tax crackdown? Granite Staters desperately need help with cutting rates and out-of-control property assessment to restrict local spending. New Hampshire needs this. Yesterday! People are hurting. I see evidence of this everywhere. This was a sleazy way for the City to boost taxes without raising taxes. Note the huge ... Read more

CARDELLO: Fake Indian Senator Endorses Fake Black Mayoral Candidate

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-16 14:00 +0000
Well, birds of a feather do flock together, and in the case of Democrats, put two in close proximity, and there is a good chance they lied about their past to get there. Recently, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who has been falsely claiming a Native Indian lineage, has endorsed Zohran Mamdani, the Socialist Democrat candidate ... Read more

MACDONALD: NH’s “Elections” are NOT Secure – The Danville Disaster (And I Think The AG Is Wrong)

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-16 11:00 +0000
Yesterday, we reported on irregularities with the Timberlane School District election (March 11, 2025), in Plaistow, where activists discovered issues with properly securing completed ballots (among other things). From that same election, we not so proudly bring you the school Fuster Cluck in Danville, New Hampshire. In summary, the locals responsible for ensuring election integrity ... Read more

Diabetes is a leading killer of Americans – the eighth leading cause of death in 2021. Type 2 diabetes is more common as people age and is strongly correlated with obesity and a lack of exercise. A recent study of “forever chemicals,” or PFAS, adds chemical exposures to the list of contributing causes. Americans are ... Read more

MACDONALD: Left-Wing Discrimination Is Okay ‘cuz Reasons

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-08-15 21:00 +0000
The Trump Administration just froze nearly $600 million in federal grants to UCLA for failing to address antisemitism on Campus. The announcement was made after the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a July 29 statement that UCLA violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act ...

CARDELLO: Can Schiff And Swalwell Really Crash And Burn Together

Oh my, this is not just a Republican fantasy; this might actually happen, and if so, it will be dancing in the streets for MAGA folks everywhere. You cannot tell me that even Democrats don’t look at these two narcissistic political hacks and see corruption and slime. Still, Dems continue to pull the lever and ... Read more

BANFIELD: Schools Creating Mental Health Problems in Children

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-08-15 14:00 +0000
Back in the 1990s, schools used a mental health screening tool called TeenScreen. Most people didn’t realize these screenings often produced false positives—flagging children for mental health problems when none existed. Today, with the rise of the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS-B) in public schools, the focus on children’s mental health has only grown. But ... Read more
