MacDonald: New Vermont Law Probably Violates Two Constitutions

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 12:00 +0000
Vermont has passed a law that allows the state attorney general to fine pregnancy care centers up to $10,000.00 for “advertising” the AG deems misleading. That’s the intent. Pro-Abortion Democrats passed a muzzle bill in 2023 to intimidate pregnancy care centers to the benefit of abortion clinics, but it didn’t work. Not exactly. It was ... Read more

Sorens: Why Reform Zoning

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 10:00 +0000
Julie Smith recently wrote a piece for Granite Grok about my white paper for AIER entitled “Unbundling Zoning.” She badly misinterpreted the paper, made false accusations, and even got the main thesis exactly backwards. Here’s the proof. Smith: “Sorens calls zoning useless, unjust, and irrational and explains why.” FALSE. These are the claims I’m responding ... Read more

Smith: Hollis Dunkin Donuts

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 02:00 +0000
Hollis Dunkin Donuts is unlike other locations in many ways.  It’s in a repurposed building multiple times its age, it doesn’t have the usual bright orange and pink signs and it doesn’t have a drive-thru despite it being a former site of a bank with one. While I can’t speak intelligently to the finer details ... Read more

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 00:00 +0000
This week on GrokTALK!, my guest is…me. Yes, it’s just me. The topic is the rising desire to cajole the mysterious political middle and the rise of the Woke Right.

Bradley: Trump, Kennedy and Oz v. The Pharmaceutical Companies

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 00:00 +0000
According to some historians, the Smoot-Howley tariffs caused the Great Depression. Since then, mention of the word “ Tariff” has brought to mind the “SCREAM,” a famous work of art by Edward Munch. The painting reveals a figure on a bridge, holding his head with an expression of anguish and isolation! The Mainstream Media’s (MSM) ... Read more

MacDonald: Free Speech Pope?

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-15 20:00 +0000
Leave it to an American Pontif to tell the assembled members of world media that free speech and a free press are not just essential but that it “does not seek consensus at all costs, does not use aggressive words, does not follow the culture of competition, and never separates the search for truth from ...

Bowman: As Originally Required

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-15 18:00 +0000
There was a hidden lesson within Trump’s “too big to rig” rhetoric, which modern-day talkers and experts will never mention for obvious reasons.  Simply stated, it is that unity equals strength and together we can prevail.  Trump’s campaign slogan is an offshoot of our forefathers’ belief that freedom will only prevail when the citizenry is ...

Smith: Call Tara Reardon “Mrs Soprano”

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-15 14:00 +0000
Let’s get the “say something nice” part out of the way before the attack.  I met Community Loan Fund lobbyist Tara Reardon on 2/15/23 after a Senate Executive Departments committee hearing for a trailer park bill.  She supported what I said into the mic and followed me out into the hall and introduced herself when ...

Dear Grafton County Commissioners & Delegates,

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-15 02:00 +0000
As you may or may not know, virtual, online, ZOOM Commissioners’ Meetings were “blacked-out,” “shut down,” canceled,” by “the Chairman of the Board,” Martha McLeod,  as of April 22, 2025 so that no Grafton County residents can see & listen to the meetings in real time.  This type of censorship is something that is done ...

Waste of the Day: “Free” Tax Returns Cost Too Much

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-15 00:00 +0000
Topline: The IRS estimated in December 2024 that its new Direct File tax return system would cost the government $61.1 million for an estimated 2.3 million users, or about $27 per person. But the pilot program ended up costing about $238 per person who used the system to file their taxes, according to a report from the Treasury ... Read more

Bernie and the Privileged Political Class

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-05-14 22:00 +0000
A teachable moment (for others, not Bernie, who will never learn). Our senior senator made big news last week in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier. When the anchor confronted Sanders about the $221,000 he and Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez have spent so far on private jets during their Fighting the Oligarchy tour, as ... Read more

MacDonald: They Want to Get Arrested So, Arrest Them

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-05-14 20:00 +0000
No Proglodyte resume is complete without at least one arrest. Deranged Tesla-defacing felons are proud bearers of this distinction, but that fad has lost its shine. The latest thing is ICE officers and immigration deportation. That Mayor in New Jersey got himself a date with a judge, and that judge in Milwaukee’s weepy arrest photo ... Read more

MacDonald: A Strange Hill Named ‘Dugan’ To Die On

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-05-14 12:00 +0000
Six years ago, in Massachusetts, Newton District Judge Shelley M. Joseph knowingly helped an illegal criminal alien escape ICE by escorting him through her chambers and out the Jury door. She turned herself in and was indicted on four charges but managed to slow-walk her way to a dismissal by the then-Biden DOJ in 2022. ... Read more
