This week on GrokTALK!, a local media piece tries to dampen our perceptions about summer tourism (probably to advance a preferred progressive narrative), but they’ve always done that. I take us on a trip down memory-hole lane to show you how the bastards who try to keep you down keep getting it wrong in all ... Read more

Anyone with the signatures can vie to replace Platner. That’s what the Maine Democrat State Party is saying. “Candidates now have the ability to submit their declaration of intent and begin engaging Maine Democrats in earnest by earning their support and collecting signatures.” Commie Ro Khanna, whom I wrote about Saturday, wants Troy Jackson, whom ...

Let us pay homage to the fifty-six delegates who signed the Declaration of Independence. Men who were signing their death warrant in the eyes of the British Crown. They challenged tyranny for posterity.  Emerson’s words remind me today that “[e]very mind must make its choice between truth and repose; it cannot have both.” Before Almighty ... Read more

Calls for reduced U.S. engagement abroad, particularly regarding Israel, have grown louder on the hard left and in pockets of the right. While fiscal restraint and avoiding unnecessary wars are valid conservative concerns, the broader push toward isolationism or alliances with radicals risks weakening America’s security and betraying our principles. The DSA and the Hard ... Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, a Mexican “family man” is dead, and the media that wants us all to think he was an upstanding non-citizen keeps burying the lede.

Young people (18 to 34) apparently really don’t like Vermont. According to the recent University of New Hampshire Green Mountain State Poll, a whopping 64 percent of that demographic wants to very much or somewhat leave the Green Mountains for greener pastures. Less than half, just 45 percent, think Vermont is a “good place to ... Read more

James Talarico’s Theological Relativism Should Alarm Every Patriot As the 2026 race for the U.S. Senate in Texas heats up, voters are witnessing a stark contrast between incumbent Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton and his radical Democratic challenger, State Representative James Talarico. While Paxton stands firmly on a platform of securing the southern border, upholding ... Read more

Not to kick the same donkey too many times, but the measure of a moderate Democrat, real or imagined, is not if they can lay claim to the title. It is whether it means anything once they are a member of the caucus. Jonah Wheeler is a mostly reliable Democrat vote in the New Hampshire ... Read more

He was “Your Guy.” He was the All-American boy, the prototypical dude from Maine who would get up at 4 am to harvest oysters and slay Susan Collins after lunch. He was the guy who pushed Janet Mills and the establishment machine aside and got 70% of the vote in the Maine primary. He was ... Read more

The moment “they” announced COVID loans, it felt like another laundromat for fraud. And it was. Locally, we’ve had one high-profile case involving Andy Sanborn. Andy was just a Concord business owner in 2009/2010 when the Tea Party rose from nothing. He was showing up at the hearing, talking about the long list of new ... Read more

The post MACDONALD: NH Needs to Try Harder appeared first on Granite Grok.

Granite Staters are often told that our low taxes are a liability and that copying the other New England states’ higher-tax, higher-spending model would improve affordability and the overall quality of life. New polling from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center suggests that the exact opposite is true. A series of UNH surveys released ... Read more

Here’s something you may not have known: About 88% of New Hampshire’s Class of 2025 graduated from high school. But when that same cohort was tested in Grade 11, only 63% demonstrated proficiency in reading and 30% in math. That’s quite a gap. It made me wonder: How are so many students graduating when so ...

Every Friday, I get an email from the Governor’s office listing all the bills she has signed or vetoed. This week, one bill, HB1268, makes New Hampshire the freest state in America for homeschooling. It frees parents from a systemic contradiction. The education system monopoly that can’t teach kids to read or do math is ... Read more

For many Americans, even lovers of American history, myself included, there are certain blank spots and gaps in knowledge. While we can appreciate that history can be and is used propagandistically to affirm certain narratives—usually by emphasis and deemphasis—it is also often the case that time constraints and desire to focus on other events helps ...

Ro Khanna is another communist “rich kid” (even though he’s not a kid), a Democratic Party Marxist worth over 230 million. The fallout from ‘The Revolution’ he desires won’t hurt him or his family. They are financially inoculated as long as they pull for team blue. Che shirts, hammer and sickle. That makes him an ... Read more

When the Live Free Press’s July 7 article titled New Hampshire’s Municipal Lobby Trains Its Fire on Republican Bills came to my attention, my blood boiled at first sight.  I thought of that old Janet Jackson song, What  Have You Done For Me Lately?  I also remember Kevin Avard complaining about them a few years ago when I ...
