MACDONALD: Did Biden’s FDA Want Kids to Die?

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-02-05 22:00 +0000

It almost goes without saying that the Democrat Party isn’t terribly concerned, from 30,000 feet, if people drop dead or kill themselves. Individually, there are people registered as Democrats who care, and a few of them are actually concerned about killing babies in the womb. The latter is, of course, required if you intend to ...

CUSHMAN: Public Health Cannot Rest on Corrupted Science

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-02-05 10:00 +0000

Public officials routinely defend vaccine mandates by invoking “the science.” We are told the benefits are clear, the risks minimal, and the tradeoffs settled. But that confidence depends on an assumption that no longer holds: that the scientific system producing these claims is reliable, transparent, and worthy of public trust. It isn’t. For years now, ...

MACDONALD: Is It Democrat-Driven Demographic Decline?

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-02-04 22:00 +0000

Pearl-clutching abounds as politicians and pundits ponder a progressive population decline in the Green Mountain State. Vermont is old, white, and clearly not “importing” enough “refugees” to replace the “indigenous” population. The “reasonings” abound. The people born there, the indigenous ones, aren’t having enough children to replace themselves. It is a problem Vermont could solve ... Read more
