PAYNE: America Should have Listended to Anita Bryant

Granite Grok - 1 hour 7 min ago

The shellacking the New England Patriots received at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks is analogous to the decisive blows God-fearing patriots have suffered for decades. At the 1971 Super Bowl, Anita Bryant sang “God Bless America” during the halftime show. In 2026, the NFL’s pick of Bad Bunny is considered representative of modern America.  ... Read more

OPINION: Protecting Sex Predators – The Sordid Reality of the Global Power Elite

Granite Grok - 1 hour 7 min ago

“When did pedophilia become a partisan issue? The American people deserve to know the whole truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every single powerful person who enabled him. Every name, every flight log, every cover up, all of it … If there’s one thing we should all be able to agree on Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and ... Read more

MACDONALD: House Cleaning

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-03-03 22:00 +0000

I don’t think we’re likely to escape accusations of political targeting as the default response to any investigation of anyone “on the other side.” We can note that Obama really got this ball rolling when he began targeting businesses in his first term, and his IRS went into Hitler mode to stop Tea Party groups ...

PAYNE: Abolish the Federal Reserve

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-03-03 19:00 +0000

John Maynard Keynes, British Fabian Socialist and author of Keynesian Economics, quoted Lenin when he proclaimed that his system would be the “euthanasia of capitalism.” He also boasted: “By this means (fractional reserve banking) government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the wealth of the people, and not one man in a million will detect the ...

IMANI: Dear President Trump

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-03-03 17:00 +0000

The late President Reagan played a crucial role in dismantling the scourge of Soviet communism, while you, Mr. President, are committed to consigning the standard bearers of Islamic terrorism to their well-deserved demise. Mr. President, you have repeatedly pointed out that appeasing tyrants invariably fails to satisfy them and only serves to whet their appetite. ... Read more

OPINION: Refugee Resettlement Hearing Exposes What A Farce Kelly Ayotte’s “COGE” Was

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-03-03 15:00 +0000

You remember COGE (Commission on Government Efficiency), don’t you? Kelly Ayotte’s answer to DOGE, which she packed with NHGOP insiders, her cronies, and her donors. COGE produced “hard-hitting” recommendations such as “creating ‘sponsorship and naming programs’ to generate money from state-owned parks and recreational sites.” House Bill 1706, which would repeal the Department of Health and ...

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-03-03 12:00 +0000

Today on the Morning Update, are the UN’s days numbered? The United Nations’ cash flow problems are getting worse, which has me wondering if Mr. Trump’s plan is to get the world to defund the UN until it collapses under its own corrupt bureaucratic weight.

The European Union is initiating a new round of regulations that could change the face of iGaming across its member countries.

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-03-03 01:00 +0000

This week, on GrokTALK! I open with some fun facts: Everyone in Minnesota knew about the fraud, started to do something about it, but Democrats killed, rewrote it, and now it’s toothless. Then I discuss a growing trend among elected officials, at least in New Hampshire, to publicly tell judges they are out of their ... Read more

CARDELLO: Then There is Donald Trump

Granite Grok - Mon, 2026-03-02 22:00 +0000

We are a society of strong words, fair intentions, and little conviction for living up to either. After Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews, the world vowed it would never sit idly by and let another massacre happen; not on our watch. Then we watched Pol Pot kill 3 million Cambodians. China is incarcerating as many ... Read more

Welcome back to another installment of Monday Memes. It’s a bit beefier than usual, mostly from a handful of “Iran” memes that came my way after I’d already put the post together. Extra memes. Not really a hardship. Here we go. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... Read more

MOFFETT: Pondering and Processing; Iran and Iraq

Granite Grok - Mon, 2026-03-02 15:00 +0000

Two of the 14 Marine Corps Leadership Traits are Initiative and Decisiveness, and President Trump certainly took some initiative and was decisive with his decision to bomb Iran and decapitate its leaders. (Other traits include Dependability, Tact, Integrity, Unselfishness, and Loyalty, which are subjects for a different column.) As was the case with his decision ... Read more

I’ll talk about Anthropic in just a moment. First, a true story. When working for a defense contractor in the early 2020s, I was assigned to work on a system (name redacted for obvious reasons) that had been designed in the early 1990s and then fully rolled out in the mid 1990s after multiple successful ...
