MacDonald: Just Call Her ‘Sue Me’ Sandy Cortez

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-07-15 21:00 +0000
I get it. Being bombastic, hyperbolic, and a bit edgy with the verbiage can be attractive to an audience overwhelmed with milqetoast political dumbfuckery. See what I did there? From Marjorie Taylor Greene to Jasmine Crockett, we’ve seen the rise of old-school political banter. It’s not uncivil, it was, in fact, common during the nation’s ... Read more

MacDonald: Ten Thousand More ICE Agents

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-07-15 16:00 +0000
…The Left, Crime, and Punishment Crime and Punishment. No, not the epic story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, I’m thinking along parallel but different lines.

MacDonald: ‘Extreme’ Precipitation Doesn’t Mean More Flooding

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-07-15 11:00 +0000
Before you can have a flash flood, you’ll need to have a lot of rain, but would it surprise you to know that the latter does not predict more of the former?
