OPINION: Judge Joseph Laplante, President Trump, and the Case of Father MacRae

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-08-21 18:00 +0000

A Federal Judge who defied SCOTUS by blocking President Trump’s Executive Order on birthright citizenship previously blocked hope for Justice for Fr. Gordon MacRae. Readers may be aware of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision barring Federal District Court judges from blocking the executive orders of the U.S. President and then applying the block to ...

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-08-21 11:00 +0000

KLAR: MAHA is Winning!

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-08-21 02:00 +0000

Robert F Kennedy Jr.’s clarion for children’s health struck a bipartisan political nerve when he declared in his MAHA message on August 23, 2024, “We need to love our children more than we hate each other.” One year later, the MAHA mission is still gaining force. Diverse allies continue to rally around food and farming issues, and ... Read more

MACDONALD: Is Kelly Coming To Chris Sununu’s Pennichuck Water Rescue?

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-08-20 21:00 +0000

If you missed it, Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess implicated former NH Governor Chris Sununu on the matter of Nongfu Springs’ purchase of land (to get water) adjacent to the Pennichuck water works in Nashua. He is alleged to have encouraged it, pursued it, and if you’re even the tiniest bit uppity (傲慢) about it, blame ... Read more

OPINION: New Hampshire Democrats Want to Sue You Into Silence

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-08-20 18:00 +0000

The latest fad among New Hampshire Democrats — or as many of us have come to call them, the Demo-rats — isn’t passing budgets that make sense, or fixing our broken property tax system, or giving relief to hardworking Granite Staters. No, their weapon is intimidation. Post something online that cuts against their narrative? Make ... Read more

CARDELLO: Who Will Be On Stage For Trump’s Halftime Show

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-08-20 14:00 +0000

Never has America seen a show like the one Donald Trump is orchestrating in Washington, D.C.. Yes, we had Reagan’s incredible run in the 80s, but that was played at half speed compared to what we are witnessing in real time from a 79-year-old man who appears to get stronger each day. I haven’t been ... Read more

MACDONALD: Yet, Another Setback for Mifepristone

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-08-19 21:00 +0000

I call Mifepristone the chemical coathanger. It harkens back to the early days of Roe and the pro abortion lobby. They claimed we needed to legalize abortion to prevent dangerous back-alley abortions or troubled young women attempting to abort babies on their own. The coat hanger became the symbol of self-harm. These days, it is ... Read more

CARDELLO: Stop Killing Off Future Generations

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-08-19 18:00 +0000

For a country to survive, it must have a growing population. This growth can be achieved naturally through procreation, which helps maintain the country’s culture, or through mass immigration, which will dynamically change the culture in short order. We lose about 3 million Americans per year to death, and those who leave the country, and ... Read more

MACDONALD: Progressive Karisham Manzur Challenges Pappas for US Senate – Is He Screwed?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-08-19 11:00 +0000

New Hampshire’s Democrats, the ones who show up for primaries at least, have a thing for far-left nutjobs. They belong in Vermont, truth be told, where they have political “parties” to the left of the already far-left Democrats. They belong there, because some of them came here from there. And when Vermont sends one here ... Read more
