Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-01-06 15:00 +0000

Never in my lifetime did I ever think that Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and I would be on the same ideological side of any issue. When I saw headlines over the weekend that Schultz was praising the Trump action to remove and arrest Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela and relieve the people of Venezuela of decades ... Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, a slightly different take on why people in Iran are taking to the streets.

BEST: With Regard to HB1413 and the Re-introduction of the Death Penalty for Murder.

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-01-06 10:00 +0000

There has been no accountability in New Hampshire for the cover-up of corrupt police officers by the Attorney General’s Office. AG Gordon MacDonald stated in August 2018 that the list of Laurie List officers should remain private.

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-01-06 03:00 +0000

As of January 2026, the streets of Tehran, Isfahan, and Mashhad are alive with a sound the Islamic Republic has spent forty-seven years trying to silence: the roar of a people who no longer fear their oppressors. What began as a localized strike by shopkeepers in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar on December 28, 2025, has transformed ... Read more

MACDONALD: A Unique Solution to the Problem of ‘Squatters’

Granite Grok - Mon, 2026-01-05 22:00 +0000

One of the glorious joys of free-market capitalism is the ability of individuals to find solutions to problems, especially those the government creates, while tying its own hands to one damn thing to address it. Squatters, for example, find homes unoccupied either as rentals, vacation homes, or just a one where residents went on vacation. ... Read more

SCAER: Federally-Funded NGO Propagandizes NH Schoolchildren with the Trans Agenda

Granite Grok - Mon, 2026-01-05 15:00 +0000

I stumbled across a post on Facebook about trans propaganda that was shared with students as young as 11 at a Nashua, New Hampshire middle school. The Nashua Prevention Coalition (NPC) representative set up a table during the lunches at Fairground Middle School and lured kids over by offering them colorful Pride flags. While they ... Read more

PAYNE: The Collective Prince of Fools

Granite Grok - Mon, 2026-01-05 10:00 +0000

Truth and virtue are the foundations of liberty. Free people are in peril when they forget the basics that made them free. Ignorance and apathy invite the opposite – lies, fraud,  and corruption.  People sell their votes while greed and envy feed the nanny state. A political cartoon once said, “I’VE BEEN IN OFFICE 20 ...

CARDELLO: Symbolic the Oath Taken Underground

Granite Grok - Sun, 2026-01-04 22:00 +0000

I am not sure whether the oath taken at the stroke of midnight, whether it was done underground, or whether a Quran was used instead of a traditional Bible, is the most symbolic of the devastating era dawning on New York City. New York City woke on Friday under the Socialist control of Zohar Mamdani, ... Read more

December 2025 marks the centennial of Pope Pius XI’s 1925 encyclical Quas Primas, which established the feast of Christ the King. Today, this feast is often commemorated by your average, milquetoast clergyman through calls to metaphorically embrace Jesus Christ as king and to have him “reign in our hearts.” That sort of thing has its place, ...

OPINION: Good Health Instead of Special Interests in 2026

Granite Grok - Sun, 2026-01-04 17:00 +0000

In a free society, the government would respect that an individual’s health-related choices are his own business. There would be no local, state, or national government “health departments” intervening in these matters. All of that would be left to individuals to decide. Government health departments in America have become appendages of entities such as pharmaceutical ... Read more

CARDELLO: Is There No Low to the Bottom Feeders the Left Will Support

Granite Grok - Sun, 2026-01-04 15:00 +0000

If Donald Trump identifies them as detrimental to America, you can almost guarantee that the Left will be out in force supporting them. Rapists, child molesters, murderers who violate our border are entitled to due process when they should be quickly deported.
