Towns, not the State, are Engaging in Central Planning

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-04-12 02:00 +0000
A battle is brewing. It has been brewing for years, or even decades. It is a battle over property rights and it may not be what you think it is. It isn’t a battle between the State and the Towns. It is a battle between Towns and property owners.  The NH Constitution states, “All men ... Read more

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-11 22:00 +0000
Louisiana has found itself repeatedly in the gerrymandering hot seat.

It’s Not Enough to Just Elect a President and Then Sit Back and Watch

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-11 18:00 +0000
As my dear Mother used to say, “Everything happens for a reason,” and so it was with the Tea Party’s well-reasoned formation for prepping the public’s attitude and involvement back towards the caring and protecting of “God’s country.”  In retrospect, this seemed to be the old “all dressed up and nowhere to go “refrain.  However, ...

Dear Chairman Pearson and Chairman Lynn,

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-11 14:00 +0000
Whether it is family court or criminal court, New Hampshire is not able to claim to provide anything that would qualify these as judicial. To be judicial, it would need to provide due process for both claimants and respondents/defendants. Currently, it does not, and it has not done so for decades. For example: Brady v ... Read more

The Chicken Little Syndrome

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-11 10:00 +0000
Have you ever heard of the “Chicken Little Syndrome”? An acorn fell on Chicken Little’s head. Thinking the sky was falling, Chicken Little warned Henny Penny and Turkey Lurkey of the impending disaster. They headed off to warn the King until a wise old owl disabuses them of their imagined fear. I couldn’t help recalling ... Read more

The April 5 deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to divest its holdings or be shut down revives a controversial battle.

K-12 public school spending rises every year, whether enrollment increases or decreases. In this century, K-12 district public school enrollment in New Hampshire has fallen by more than 50,000 students, but spending is up by more than $1 billion, adjusted for inflation.  How does this happen? The short answer is that local voters prefer to ... Read more

Killing Babies Is Cheaper Than Birthing Them

Colorado Dems Embrace Their Eugenicist Roots Canada continues to expand its medically assisted in dying rules (MAiD) on a path that was easy to predict.

Tell Your Senator To Say No To Unnecessary Safety Inspections That Don’t Make Us Safer

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 18:00 +0000
When I first read about a bill to eliminate inspections, I had never questioned whether they make us safer. So I researched it, and was surprised to see that pretty much all of the studies over the past 30 years say the same thing: inspections don’t make us safer! That’s why there’s only 11 states ...

Trump Turns Dems Into Free Traders

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 16:00 +0000
Don’t expect too much depth at the “watercooler, especially from your proglodyte coworkers. They’ve got their talking points. Hands off (something), Trump is wrecking the economy, free Palestine, and oligarchs. Not their oligarchs. And no one is allowed to “Free Palestine” from Hamas. And I guess all that waste, fraud, and abuse are the price ... Read more

Regarding the Supreme Court’s Ruling on “Ghost Guns”

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 10:00 +0000
Since the Supreme Court has decided to redefine the word “weapon” to include weapon parts, we now face another crisis. In my opinion, all of this is unconstitutional. The “…shall not be infringed” wording of 2A makes a gun no different than office supplies. Considering a fountain pen, would I have to license or have ... Read more
