OPINION: Have I Got ‘Treaty’ News for You!

Granite Grok - 8 hours 11 min ago

Fasten your seatbelts. I have some surprises for you. This article is about one nation being respectful to all other nations. What! In general, ordinary citizens don’t understand, and don’t try to understand, what goes on among nations. Possibly diplomats know the ropes, but most of us relate to foreign policy, and war only as a ... Read more

MACDONALD: Could One Convict End Federal Overreach?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-07-25 21:00 +0000

One of the fun bits about Federalism is watching Democrats hate on it until they can’t stop tripping over each other to embrace it. A great recent example is illegal immigration. Arizona, feeling itself overrun by alien invaders, wanted to protect its citizens, but the Obama Administration got in the way. Immigration enforcement, the courts ... Read more

CARDELLO: I Cannot Believe I Agree with James Carville

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-07-25 18:00 +0000

And hell has frozen over. Never in my adult life did I ever see myself agreeing with James Carville. Carville is an octogenarian political consultant, author, and television pundit who has strategized for Democratic candidates for decades. He is the poster child for liberal progressive thinking, and I have never encountered a topic we agreed ... Read more

MACDONALD: Chris Pappas is Fighting “For” Corruption

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-07-25 16:00 +0000

Since our faux-milquetoast New Hampshire Dems are playing at being moderates, it is worth revisiting the topic. How do you pretend to go to DC to represent New Hampshire interests when neither of you, Goodlander nor Pappas, is capable of standing up to the radicals who will run your caucus? The nut house has fractured. ... Read more

KLAR: Becca Balint responds hysterically to Hysterical AI Video

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-07-25 14:00 +0000

A recent video made with Artificial Intelligence (AI) satirizing Vermont Congresswoman Becca Balint has sparked indignant hostility from the self-styled “Scrappy Little Dyke.”  Vermont’s rabidly left-wing Attorney General Charity Clark applied a sketchy new Vermont law to investigate the video’s creator, prompting a federal lawsuit.  Charity and Becca both care far more about the free ...

MACDONALD: NH Dems Are Gonna “Lose” Their Presidential Primary “Spot” Again

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-07-25 11:00 +0000

As Predicted. The DNC announced its primary schedule for the 2028 circus, and New Hampshire is not first … again. I know, we heard all sorts of positive things out of the NH Dems about their making their case, but here’s the thing. Democrats are delusional, and they lie. NH Dems have also failed to ...

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-07-25 02:00 +0000

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is a blood-soaked cartel that holds eighty-five million citizens hostage through terror, extortion, and executioner squads. American foreign policy stands on the brink of a catastrophic blunder if foreign boots step onto Iranian soil to fight a battle that belongs strictly to the Iranian nation. Foreign invasion breeds public ... Read more

CLINE: Smaller, Cheaper Homes are Coming to New Hampshire

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-07-24 18:00 +0000

Last year, a bipartisan majority of legislators agreed to legalize manufactured homes in all residential zones in the state. But it never happened. Though House Bill 685 passed both chambers on voice votes, it died in conference committee.   The bill was an effort to open the housing market to a cheaper, smaller form of residential dwelling that ...

A few days ago, Di Lothrop emailed me the manuscript to what would later become her article.  In it, she mentions lies told by John E Sununu.  I quickly replied, praising what she said and asking, “What about MORE LIES told into the mic on June 24?”  The lies I’m about to mention have been ...

The calendar may say that November 7, 2028 is a long way off, but presidential campaigning is a 24/7 year-round sport.

MACDONALD: Political Murder-Suicide

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-07-23 18:00 +0000

If you have any doubts about whether a minority of radicals can consume a movement to the degree that it drives the bus, and drives it over its own moderates, you could look at history. Islam, the National Socialist (NAZI) Party in Germany, the Bolsheviks. Cuba right before Castro, China before Mao, and the American ... Read more
