Roper: A Final Plea for Property Tax Relief

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-06-14 10:00 +0000
In 2024, when Vermont property taxpayers were whacked with an average 14 percent year over year increase, with some communities seeing nearly 40 percent increases, nobody (or at least not enough) in the legislature asked if citizens could afford this. They just shrugged their shoulders and stuck us with the bill. Same as every year ... Read more

Opinion: How Marxists Erase Human Will and Agency

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-06-14 02:00 +0000
As the language of Marxism becomes increasingly disguised in moralistic slogans such as “social justice” and “inclusiveness,” many people fail to recognize Marxist theories when they encounter them. They expect theories derived from Marxism to be littered with red flag phrases like “dialectical materialism” or “class conflict,” which would be the dead giveaway that they ... Read more

Opinion: Stealing Your Liberty at the State Level

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-06-13 18:00 +0000
Much is said and known about federal government overreach. But unfortunately, very few understand that this overreach is out of control in many states as well.

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

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

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

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

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 ...
