IMANI: The Conquest of Dearborn Must End Now

Granite Grok - 1 hour 7 min ago

Streets bleed red with self-inflicted wounds while the republic sleeps. Forty-five thousand foreign-born radicals flood Michigan asphalt, executing violent ritual flagellation to mourn a warlord dead for thirteen centuries. A foreign sectarian war invades United States borders. Shia zealots march through Dearborn, swinging blades and chains into their own flesh. This spectacle honors Hussein, a ... Read more

MACDONALD: Evil

Granite Grok - 3 hours 7 min ago

Moral relativism, relative secularism, and the idea that good and evil are subjective are always a pretext for evil behavior. It is, after all, much easier to excuse evil if you don’t believe in it. If the ends justify the means, then othering people and encouraging your base to do evil for you with violent ... Read more

When Vermonters vote this November (or, more accurately, when Vermonters vote at some point between September 24th and November 3rd during our ludicrous election-month-and-a-half), we will have to decide whether or not to pass yet another constitutional amendment, this one called Proposition 3, or “The Right to Collectively Bargain.” Just going to say up front, ...

COLQUHOUN: Declining Transparency in Nashua’s Financial Administration

Granite Grok - 10 hours 7 min ago

Nashua residents deserve a city government that is transparent, accountable, and respectful of the people it serves.

MACDONALD: The Eleven-Minute Rule

Granite Grok - 17 hours 7 min ago

I smell a lawsuit coming. Something along the lines of a First Amendment violation. Abridging the freedom of the press. The People’s Republic of Burlington, Vermont, has instituted a 10-minute rule in city hall. The City Hall Code of Conduct and Trespass Policy. It is quite unprogressive. For example, a city that favors progressive vagrancy ... Read more

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-08-05 21:00 +0000

In case you missed it, an estimated 60,000 “migrants” stormed across the border into Spain over the course of 24 hours. That’s hard to picture, but no worries.

The Materials Keeping Chemical Plants Safe

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-08-05 15:00 +0000

Industrial safety is usually discussed through its most dramatic moments: fires, toxic releases, emergency evacuations, and explosions. Yet a major incident can begin with something far less visible to the public, such as a hose losing strength, a seal degrading, or a connection developing a small leak. In chemical processing, these components carry substances that ... Read more

Democrats couldn’t manage a lemonade stand without losing money to waste, fraud, and abuse, and yet they think they have a leg to stand on when it comes to the subject of affordability. Both the present and their history show they can’t. Taxes, regulations, interventions- did I mention taxes? That all comes out of your ... Read more

Pretending to care about people’s property is so cute, but that’s what Minnesota, of all places, just did. It pretended to care. Democratic Gov.
