Friday Meme Thing

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-06-13 16:00 +0000
Tomorrow is No Kings Day, also known as Tap the Pallets of Bricks and Throw Back a Few Molotov Cocktails Day. Or…how committing crimes after the lawful and constitutional election of a guy (in part) because too much crime was being ignored … can only mean one thing. We need memes. Fifty plus a few ...

DiLorenzo: To Make America Free Again

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-06-13 14:00 +0000
Everyone likes to be flattered by being called “great,” especially Donald Trump. Equally as flattering is to have one’s entire country called “great” if not “the greatest,” “exceptional,” or “indispensable.” Or perhaps even “a shining city on a hill,” reminiscent of “The Emerald City” of The Wizard of Oz.  In the political world, however, there are ...

MacDonald: Is The Blob Coordinating Iran Bombing with Israel (behind Trump’s back)?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-06-13 12:00 +0000
The news is everywhere. Israel has launched strikes inside Iran, both sides reporting the targets are military and strategic, top-level military personnel, nuclear sites, nuclear scientists, ICRG commanders, all in the name of self-defense 9so says Israel). Mr. Trump has stated we’re not involved. He is still calling for a deal with Iran on nuclear ... Read more

Okeeffe: The Weaponization of Media Access Did Not Suddenly Start with Trump

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-06-13 10:00 +0000
One of the reasons the American political establishment really hates it when Trump is president is that his administration has a tendency to bring out and exaggerate dynamics at play in Washington, DC that the establishment would prefer to keep hidden. One such example is the weaponization of media access. Right at the beginning of ... Read more

Matthews: China’s Strengths Are Over-Exaggerated

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-06-13 02:00 +0000
China’s rise is often portrayed as unstoppable. It dominates global supply chains, pours money into research and development (R&D), and boasts some of the world’s largest tech companies. But scratch beneath the surface of this economic juggernaut, and a picture of structural inefficiencies, inflated innovation claims, and deep technological dependencies emerges. For all its ambition, ... Read more

MacDonald: Video Editor Eats GrokTALK! – Let’s Try it In print.

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-06-13 00:00 +0000
I had a new episode of GrokTALK! in the works, complete with lots of clips, moving parts, and commentary, when it crashed. This is not typically an issue, but when I reloaded the app, it had changed, and I was unable, try as I might, to log back into it. I hope to find a ... Read more

Klar: Supreme Court Keeps Its Powder Dry in Second Amendment Challenge

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-12 22:00 +0000
It might appear at first blush that the Supreme Court’s June 2 rejection of a Petition for Writ of Certiorari challenging Maryland’s 2013 ban of so-called “assault rifles” means blue-state restrictions on these and other controversial weapons are constitutionally secure. However, the Court has not decided any such thing; it has only deferred when that ... Read more

Smith: Debunking The Wonton Article

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-12 20:00 +0000
NH Journal ran an article yesterday that was written by Ed Wonton, complaining about parts of HB649 being inserted into HB 2.  I’d like to see the whole bill, in its original form, inserted into the budget, but there’s at least some merit to accepting half a loaf when getting all of what you want ...

Ortolano: In Defense of Dissent: A Response to Alderman Thibeault’s Rebuttal

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-12 18:00 +0000
Nashua Alderman Derek Thibeault’s May 31, 2025, Union Leader op-ed response to my piece on the dangers of politicizing public input does more to affirm my concerns than refute them. In attempting to discredit me personally, rather than addressing the underlying issues I raised, he reinforces the troubling pattern of dismissing dissent that is taking ... Read more

Sandoval:No, Leftists — Rioters Don’t Deserve Land Acknowledgements

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-12 16:00 +0000
The left has settled on a fresh justification for the Los Angeles riots.  “California was part of Mexico, all of the Southwest is Mexico, so the roots are really deep in that region,” said former Univision anchor María Elena Salinas on a CNN panel. “And what they’re saying is ‘No, not in our community.’ Because ...

Cardello: The Democrat Peaceful Protests Are Spreading Across The Country

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-12 14:00 +0000
Day after day, the key Democrats of this country are continuing to deny the violence that is entering its sixth night in Los Angeles. It would be comical how ignorant these people sound if the reason we have been writing about L.A. for days were not so serious. Maxine Waters, whose expiration date is far ... Read more

MacDonald: The 67 Million Dollar Question in Nashua

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-12 12:00 +0000
It is not news that Nogfu Spring Water acquired a large property adjacent to the Pennichuck Water Plant. It’s been the talk of the town, so to speak, the state, and now the nation. Nongfu says it wants to sell beverages and needs access to water. Pennichuk says it has an agreement to sell water ... Read more

Cardello: Living In A Blue State? California Is Your Future

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-12 10:00 +0000
I would love to write a post about an outstanding bill that addressed a significant issue facing our country and passed through Congress with a unanimous vote. Our Supreme Court, which many believe is divided, broken, and politically motivated, often votes with a 9-0 consensus. Unfortunately, our Congress is broken far more than anyone wants ... Read more

Opinion: End the EUA

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-12 02:00 +0000
It’s long past time to deal with the core problem that persists from the Covid era: the remaining EUA and the PREP Act. These must be revoked if we are to finally put an end to our long nightmare.  The mRNA injections that were produced ostensibly to end the Covid crisis were released under Emergency ... Read more

Ron Paul: Can Trump and Musk Make Up?

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-06-11 22:00 +0000
Last week’s dramatic blowout between President Trump and his one-time top collaborator Elon Musk was shocking yet predictable. According to media reports, a cold war had been brewing between Musk’s people and Trump’s appointees and it was bound to break out into the open. It was only a matter of time. On the campaign trail, ... Read more

Cardello: Democrats Need To Define Peaceful

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-06-11 18:00 +0000
We on the Right need help from our friends on the other side of the aisle. Ever since the George Floyd incident in Minneapolis in 2020, followed by the Summer of Love, we have been watching remote reporters reporting on the peaceful protests, while businesses burn in the background, or they are standing next to ...

Crozier: How Well-Funded, Organized Leftists Helped Jumpstart LA Riots

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-06-11 14:00 +0000
Well-funded activists and a coordinated social media campaign helped spark the pro-illegal migrant protests on Friday that descended into days of rioting in Los Angeles. Left-wing groups posted calls to action with a location to gather on Friday in unison after the arrest of a local Service Employees International Union (SEIU) leader on Friday. The ... Read more
