If Not Racism, Or Ideology, What Will Keep Us Apart

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-25 22:00 +0000
I watched an HBO/MAX documentary on the Boston Celtics, and an entire episode centered on the racial divide that existed in Boston in the 70’s and how it impacted the black players on the team.

RINO Report Card for 2025 (through crossover)

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-25 18:00 +0000
The New Hampshire General Court, our legislature, has reached “crossover.” The House has acted on all its bills and has begun to address Senate Bills. The Senate has done the converse. I have crunched the numbers, i.e., the voting records in 2025 through crossover, to determine objectively which members are RINOs—Republicans In Name Only. I ... Read more

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-25 14:00 +0000
SAU16/Exeter school district in New Hampshire has been going full force in their effort to indoctrinate students in WOKE ideology.

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-25 12:00 +0000
Joe Biden, like his former VP, has decided that they’ve rested enough. It’s time to get back out there in front of the people and…help Republicans win elections. Kamala came out with the Institute for Stuff and Junk, and now, Auto-Pen Joe is trying to sell his presidency in search of another payday.

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-25 00:00 +0000
Bad zoning bills persist in the State Legislature after crossover, and we must stop them.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services on Feb. 13, less than two months ago, and the barrage of name-calling and rebukes challenging his controversial nomination has followed the indefatigable attorney at every subsequent step.

Are Offshore Wind Farms The Endangered Species

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-24 20:00 +0000
The Wind Industry has to decide if it can survive four years of Donald Trump. I am here to tell you that the prognosis is not good, and that this makes me happy.

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-24 18:00 +0000
April 19 was the 250th anniversary of American militiamen routing the best army in the world. Seven hundred British troops arrogantly came out of Boston early that day in 1775 to seize firearms and gunpowder in Concord, Massachusetts.

REAL ID: Phony Security, Real Authoritarianism

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-24 16:00 +0000
Those who hoped the second Trump Administration would reject big spending, war, and restrictions on liberty continue to be disappointed. A new disappointment came when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced her department would in May begin enforcing the REAL ID law.

Amid The Extreme and Perverse

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-24 02:00 +0000

I suppose that for me, the importance ... Read more
