I considered naming this article “The Bluest City,” after Kellerman’s book, The Bluest State.  For those unfamiliar with him, he had Adam Sexton’s job, but in Massachusetts.  However, I opted for another author, Ann Coulter, who has written several books that are in my parents’ bookcase. Papers were passed, and property tax balances were settled. I’m ... Read more

Imagine a World Where Our Kids Don’t Know What Jeanne Shaheen Is?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-21 23:00 +0000
In the mid-oughts, then-politically unemployed former New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen decided a career in the US Senate would be good for her. And it has. She’s been there since 2009 and profited handsomely while more than tripling the national debt. And yes, she did run in 2008 against irresponsible government spending – by which ... Read more

Bill Introduced to Repeal Federal Laws That Ruined Gas Cans

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-21 19:00 +0000
I don’t think any of our writers have riled on this issue more than Skip. The ruination of the iconic gas can via federal interference and regulation. An icon of government interference for the everyman. A bureaucratic assault on simplicity that drove up the price while making it nearly impossible to use one. Talk about ... Read more

MAHA vs Microplastics – To Ensure the First, Get Rid of the Second!

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-21 15:00 +0000
If Americans are ever to be healthy again, an effective response to ubiquitous microplastics will be essential. Recent confirmation hearings of the MAHA maven Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. focused on his supposed vaccine and abortion positions while mainly ignoring his opening statement centered on American diets. Industrially-backed officials may thrust their ostrich heads in the ... Read more

Can We Really Cut Half of The Military Budget? You Bet!

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-21 11:00 +0000
The wailing sound you heard last Thursday was the chorus of the Beltway warmongers shrieking in despair at President Trump’s suggestion that there was no reason for the United States to be spending one trillion dollars on “defense.” “…[O]ne of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China and President ...

Gov. Scott Peddles the Left’s DOGE Narrative

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-21 03:00 +0000
You can tell a lot about where people get their “NEWS,” by the narratives people regurgitate. Phil Scott, the ‘Republican’ Governor of Vermont, was asked if he’d consider a DOGE-like forensic inspection of Vermont. Here’s his response. Scott doesn’t think giving anyone “unfettered access” to state data is a good idea. And, it’s not on ... Read more

So Deliciously Cruel, It Makes You Laugh

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-02-20 23:00 +0000
I think she means well, but if she ever had a clever thought, it died alone and afraid. That is the response of Senator John Kennedy (R-LA), who has the most droll, dead-pan delivery of scorching humor when addressing the idiots arrayed before him (his “colleagues, some of those offering “testimony” and current events). But ... Read more

DC Judge Wrecks Dems DOGE Derangement Syndrome

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-02-20 21:00 +0000
If you don’t read my Substack, you should. Yesterday, I created a TDS variant named DOGE Derangement Syndrome (DDS, but without the dentist). There’s no need to describe it; it’s the only thing the Democrats can talk about. And it turns out to have been one of several judicial traps set by Team MAGA for ... Read more

Bloggers Used To Be Less Than Whale Snot on the Journalistic Totem Pole

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-02-20 19:00 +0000
The “Press” has “fluid” definitions for Free Speech depending on who legitimately gored their ox or whose ox they are trying to gore. And too often, their (retributional) ideological persuasions override their common sense (provided they have some of the latter left): And THIS would be MAGNIFICENT if the MSM would just go away from ...

Sports Gambling Is Creating A New Epidemic

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-02-20 15:00 +0000
I am old enough to remember when organized sports kept their distance from gambling in any form. Remember how Pete Rose was excommunicated from Major League Baseball and banned from the Hall of Fame because of betting on games when he was a manager? This was when he was the all-time hits leader and should ... Read more
