ICYMI – The Latest ‘Grok Ad Pokes Some Fun at …

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-07-14 21:00 +0000
A few weeks back, Jaun, who runs Right America Media, asked me if I wanted to create a new commercial for GraniteGrok. We’d been running this one for a while, and a refresh seems like a good idea. The ad runs on Granite State Live, Right Side Up, and GrokTALK! I want them to amuse so ... Read more

Klar: Are Weight Loss Drugs Worth the Costs and Risks?

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-07-14 18:00 +0000
Helping people with eating disorders is a laudable goal, but there remain unknown health risks associated with a clutch of new weight loss drugs, and significant costs. Ozempic was developed initially (and FDA-approved in 2005) for the treatment of life-threatening diabetes. Wegovy was approved by the FDA on March 8, 2024, to treat obese or ... Read more

Imani: Trump’s BBB triumph

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-07-14 14:00 +0000
The Big Beautiful Bill is no timid policy nudge — it’s a full-throttle revolution, slashing taxes, unshackling industry, and igniting the American dream with a fire that’ll burn for generations. This bill is a love letter to workers, farmers, and patriots. It’s Trump’s promise kept. This bill is a tax-cutting juggernaut that slashes rates for ... Read more

MacDonald: Dems Almost Got The “Violence” They Are Looking For

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-07-14 11:00 +0000
If you are a registered Democrat, this ought to concern you. Your party’s “leaders,” elected officials, have been telling their people to start trouble for years. Stories about anti-globalist brick throwers in the 20th century are well known, and violence has always been an easy tool for the left to pick up. And with rare ... Read more

Smith: Urban Government “Customer Service” vs. Rural

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-07-14 02:00 +0000
On the heels of much internet chatter regarding increased vehicle registration fees, presumably in exchange for abolishing the sticker tax, a few things inspired me to revisit an article I wrote 11 months ago.  They were a recent property tax due date, followed by Beth Scaer posting a picture of her ready-to-mail payment envelope (not ...

MacDonald: Hiring Managers Losing Interest in College Graduates

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-07-13 21:00 +0000
If you have a drop of common sense, you already know the answer to why hiring managers might be less than enthusiastic about applicants who’ve recently graduated from college—more trouble than they are worth, even if they have a degree in something useful. The campus culture hasn’t just bilked them for a small fortune; it ... Read more

From the deepest caverns of hell that are reserved for the worst scum to walk the earth, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is reaching up and attempting to claim the first victim of the Trump Dream Team.

Rhodes: Administrative Arrogance and Soft Tyranny

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-07-13 16:00 +0000
HB25, the 2025 Capital Improvement Appropriations Act, is New Hampshire’s latest example of government abandoning its rightful role to play investor, developer, and dispenser of taxpayer-funded favors. On its face, the bill looks like any other biennial capital budget—allocating $137.6 million from the General Fund to fix buildings, patch roads, and upgrade facilities. But once ... Read more

Ortolano: Still No Ethics in Nashua – A Closer Look at a Broken Process

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-07-13 14:00 +0000
In my ongoing look at “Ethics without Ethics in Nashua,” let’s examine how the Ethics Review Committee (ERC) flagrantly disregards its own rules, and the law. The Committee is bound by the City Ordinance, section 12-31, specifically: What we see in practice is the opposite. Chairman Tim Bush either doesn’t understand Robert’s Rules or deliberately ...

Klar: Supreme Court Decision on Parental Rights Goes Beyond Education

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-07-13 02:00 +0000
In yet another bombshell decision for its 2025 term, the US Supreme Court ruled on June 27 that Maryland unconstitutionally burdened the religious exercise of parents by using schoolbooks in the classroom about gay relationships and trans identities that threatened to undermine family religious beliefs while denying them an opportunity to opt out. The ruling ... Read more

Cardello: Why We Must Expose The Auto-Pen Conspiracy

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-07-12 18:00 +0000
Conspiracy is the second most overrated and overused word in political circles, and only misses the top spot because of existential. Al Gore and John Kerry have made careers out of exposing the existential threats to our existence. The only problem is our timeline, which shows none of these hyperbolic claims are accurate, but they ... Read more

There’s more than one way to skin a cat, or so the saying goes. And while there is some debate about the origin (1839, give or take), pithy turns of phrase on the matter of multiple paths to a chosen end have been expressed throughout history. And if at first you don’t succeed. Murderous mob ... Read more

MacDonald: So, 60% of “Illicit” Massage Parlors In NH Remain Open?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-07-12 11:00 +0000
A shared link to a story at WMUR (ABC News 9) announced that the Attorney General’s office had shut down 40% of the illicit massage parlors in the state. It’s a very specific claim, so the first thing I thought was, why not the other 60%? If you know they are illicit spas engaged in ... Read more
