CARDELLO: The One We Worship is Powerful Enough to Win the Battle

Granite Grok - 3 hours 36 min ago

It was a night of stark contrasts as hundreds of believers gathered under a tent in a park, in the shadows of the Maine Capitol building, to pray for Maine and to formally ask for help from the Divine One, Jesus Christ.

MACDONALD: Another University Tightens Belt

Granite Grok - 6 hours 36 min ago

It’s not huge news but following recent content on a potential shift away from four-year schools toward trades and other learning investments, it adds some weight to the argument. What argument? The progressive university laundromat is falling on tough times. Exchanging massive debt for a useless degree and no real-world skills is losing its appeal. ... Read more

IMANI: Roya

Granite Grok - 15 hours 36 min ago

MACDONALD: Why Didn’t Dems Find All This Fraud?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-09 21:00 +0000

Democrats thought DOGE was a threat to the System? It was and still is. It didn’t go anywhere. The same tech is in use for other means, and that probably includes the new anti-fraud initiative ordered by Trump and led by JD Vance. The NGO fraud was bad, and there’s plenty more of that. ACT ...

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

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-09 14:00 +0000

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 - Sat, 2026-05-09 11:00 +0000

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

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

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.
