CARDELLO: Trump is Winning the Chess Match but Gambling with the Midterms

Granite Grok - 51 min 55 sec ago

For a man that the Democrats say is unfit for office and in severe mental decline, Donald Trump is proving to be an incredible manipulator and is recalibrating the geopolitical makeup of the Globe with a surgeon’s precision. Democrats are mistaking the fact that they do not understand the level at which Trump and his ... Read more

MACDONALD: “The Vaccine Schedule” as a Warning

Granite Grok - 3 hours 51 min ago

You might be able to pass it off as another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Or the progressive knee-jerk reaction that requires them to want the opposite of anything and everything the Trump Administration promotes. Pregnant women should be careful with Tylenol, as it might affect their unborn baby. That’s them, so when Secretary Kennedy ... Read more

OPINION: “Heard at the County”

Granite Grok - 5 hours 51 min ago

After attending the online Zoom Grafton County Commissioners’ Meetings every Tuesday morning for the last year and a half, I have come to learn much about County goings-on.  In turn, I feel I must alert Grafton County residents and taxpayers of important upcoming monetary decisions.  And you thought Paul Revere died in Boston on May 10, 1818?!  ...

MACDONALD: The Only Promise They Will Keep

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-05-08 21:00 +0000

How you feel is not science, but the proglodytes are masters of weaponizing feels. They can convince any number of folks to ignore reality in exchange for acting almost entirely on emotion. It’s brainwashing en masse. The PsyOp. Mass hypnosis. There is a science to understanding how and why people are consumed by their feelings, ... Read more

BELCHER: How the Senate Killed the CHARLIE Act

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-05-08 18:00 +0000

The CHARLIE Act was designed to enact paradigm change on public education for the better. On April 29, 2026, the Senate Education Committee gutted the CHARLIE Act. What had been introduced as the Countering Hate And Revolutionary Leftist Indoctrination in Education Act—a bill that named what it was prohibiting and grounded its authority in the ... Read more

ROPER: The Thing Vermonters Can’t Afford Is Our Government

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-05-08 14:00 +0000

The Vermont Senate Republicans dropped a post earlier this week outlining just how out of control state spending is and has been for a long time. Though they cite a figure for FY27 spending of $9.1 billion (projected) and a 1.6 percent year-over-year increase, where I see a $9.34 billion number coming out of the ... Read more

Protecting Your Property in an Age of Rising Vehicle Theft

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-05-08 13:31 +0000

In recent years, the landscape of property crime has shifted dramatically. While homeowners once worried primarily about traditional burglaries, the focus for many criminals has migrated toward the driveway. With the average cost of new and used cars reaching record highs, your car or motorcycle is often the most valuable “moveable” asset you own. Prioritizing ... Read more

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-05-08 11:00 +0000

Today on the Morning Update, Blue States follow a predictable pattern. Take control. Increase spending, add regulations, increase taxes, add new ones, which eventually drive wealth and job creators away. Vermont wanted to be like California. Like New York.

On October 13, 2021, NH State police arrested nine members of the public during a regularly scheduled open public meeting of the NH Executive Council with Governor Sununu.

MACDONALD: Progressive Red Flags

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-05-07 21:00 +0000

Amsterdam has one of the highest crime rates in the Netherlands despite legalizing prostitution and some drugs. Those are not crimes anymore. Take them off the docket, and it’s still 90 incidents per 1000 residents. Crime per capita averages across Europe range from 45-65/1000. For contrast, America’s most crime-riddled cities, like Memphis, Detroit, and Baltimore, ... Read more

CARDELLO: Rubio Seals the Deal for the Top Spot with Newest Job Assignment

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-05-07 18:00 +0000

I have been debating as to what the Republican ticket will be in 2028. Vance/Rubio or Rubio/Vance. I think the Right can win with either combination, especially if it faces any combination of Newsom/Pritzker/Harris. I would pay to watch either Marco Rubio or JD Vance debate any of the potential Democratic nominees, and maybe they ... Read more

Kentucky’s legislature and state supreme court are facing off in an epic battle over the parameters of their respective authority.

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-05-07 09:00 +0000

We have seen enough examples of Democrats misrepresenting themselves to fool the naive voters.
