MACDONALD: While We’re Caring About Fraud, So Much…

Granite Grok - 4 hours 26 min ago

Somalis are getting a lot of much-needed attention in places like Minnesota and Maine, where they’ve walked off with billions in taxpayer dollars through coordinated acts of fraud. If they were wearing MAGA hats and voting for Republicans, Democrats would be outraged. There would be congressional investigations, criminal charges, lots of negative coverage from their ...

HARRINGTON: What JUST Happened with the Silver Market?

Granite Grok - 6 hours 26 min ago

If you try to research the answer to this question, you will oddly be misdirected, blatantly lied to, or just given half truths. Artificial intelligence is the biggest offender of the current silver market misinformation, but Google is right up there with lies about what just happened.  Clearly someone wants you to miss the significance ...

MACDONALD: Why Don’t You Try It, And Let Us Know How It Went

Granite Grok - 9 hours 26 min ago

Canada is working on the perception that it’s a nice place full of friendly people. The government has ramped up a campaign to encourage more of those nice people to commit suicide every year, mainly because they are a burden on the State. Despite how fascist that sounds, no one is accusing them of being ... Read more

OPINION: Trump’s Biggest Enemy: Democrats or Republicans?

Granite Grok - 18 hours 26 min ago

The Republican championed new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), represents the “Deep State” in a combination of entrenched interests, committees, lobbies, and bureaucracies that value the continuity of power over innovative strategy and sound reform. It does this by restricting the drawdown of troops stationed overseas, increasing murky foreign entrenchment through legally binding efforts to ... Read more

PODCAST FLASHBACK: So, about Those Property Taxes…

Granite Grok - 20 hours 26 min ago

The Independents have the week off, so we’re jumping in the not do wayback machine to revisit a past episode of GrokTALK! on property taxes. A movement is rising to ban them, which is great, but what do we replace them with (and sadly, it can’t be nothing)? Originally publised on Oct 27, 2025 Speakers’ ... Read more

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-12-26 22:00 +0000

The holiday shopping season suggests that people have a good feeling about the direction of the US economy, and the Q3 data confirms it.

CARDELLO: Negative Articles About Democrats are Too Vague for some Readers

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-12-26 19:00 +0000

A reader chimed in after one of my recent articles. I said, chiming in to be kind. He really dropped the hammer on me for being too vague in my criticism of the Democratic Party. He condemned me for lacking specifics and called me a hack. Well, I looked past my archive of over 1,800 ... Read more

IMANI: DOJ hammers Fulton County Over 315,000 ghost votes

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-12-26 15:00 +0000

The time for “polite inquiries” is officially over.  For five years, the bureaucratic fortress of Fulton County, Georgia, has stonewalled every attempt to look under the hood of the 2020 election.  They hid behind state seals, played legal shell games with ballot locations, and treated public record requests like personal insults.  But as of December 2025, the game ...

OPINION: What Somalis Are Doing With America’s Generosity

What if I were to tell you that you can take a Somali out of tribal Somalia, but you can’t take tribal Somalia out of the Somali? What I’m about to tell you should infuriate you. American taxpayers have been sending billions of dollars to Somalia’s Islamic Jihadist group, Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujāhideen, simply known as ... Read more

OPINION: Woodrow Wilson’s Christmas Grift of 1913

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-12-26 03:00 +0000

We think of thieves as conducting their work when no one is looking, such as breaking into a house while the owners are away. But the most successful thieves have done their stealing in plain sight, on a grand scale, while the owners were home and often with their tacit approval, though with sleights of ... Read more

MACDONALD: You & Islam – What the West Has Comin’

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-12-25 22:00 +0000

The title is a bit more provocative than the content warrants, but I chose it because it feels like a serial, and this is just one example. Our globalist progressive overlords, in their shortsighted desire to replace the voters they have with ones they think will be more to their liking, have invited – as ... Read more

UNDERWOOD: Talking about Education by Talking about Something Else Instead

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-12-25 19:00 +0000

I believe it was Seymour Papert who said that often the best way to think about something is to think about something else instead.  Given how quickly and completely people’s brains tend to shut down when thinking about education, https://granitegrok.com/new-england/nh/2025/06/feeling-instead-of-thinking-about-education he may be especially right for that particular subject.  Let’s look at a couple of ...

KLAR: There Was an Old Lady….

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-12-25 17:00 +0000

I spoke at Vermont’s annual Liberty Food Fest on December 12 regarding the benefits of grass-fed over grain-fed beef. To spice it up a bit and keep my audience’s attention, I repurposed a nursery rhyme for the occasion. (I even sang it!) Here are the lyrics of my 2025 version of the classic children’s rhyme: ...
