SCAER: NH Catholic Hospital Dials Back Support for Trans Agenda

Granite Grok - 3 hours 38 min ago

Four months ago, I published a piece detailing how St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua, NH, had been captured by the trans agenda. I shared their videos promoting the trans agenda, their T-shirts promoting the trans agenda, their medical records system that requires patients to fill in nonsensical fields like “Sex Assigned at Birth” and “Gender ...

Morning Update: Burdens

Granite Grok - 6 hours 38 min ago

Today on the Morning Update, if you might be perceived as a burden, and the government gets to decide what that means, you might not be long for this world. Today’s example comes from Vancouver, where the caring health care professionals asked a priest with a broken hip if he’d like to commit suicide. 00:00 ... Read more

OPINION: Two Labor Law Updates for the 21st Century

Granite Grok - 8 hours 38 min ago

Remote work, flex time, and independent contracting have reshaped the American workforce, creating new opportunities for both employers and employees. But in some states, including New Hampshire, outdated labor laws create obstacles to innovation, lost opportunities for employees, and unnecessary costs for employers.  To modernize New Hampshire labor laws, legislators are addressing two outdated statutory ...

BOWMAN: Saving America

Granite Grok - 15 hours 38 min ago

Ever since Plymouth Rock, immigrants have routinely sought our shores.  This universal recognition of what America has to offer is a testament to what we, the American-born citizens, usually take for granted.  Also unmistakable has been the surge in immigrants seeking American refuge following WWII. Frankly speaking, this has been due to the fact that ... Read more

You’re always going to run into deadbeats, no matter what you do, and one way we generate revenue around here (and thus attract the potential for more of them) is by publishing sponsored content for a small fee. A post about something with backlinks which the agency or freelancer pays GraniteGrok to publish. If you ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sun, 2026-05-10 18:00 +0000

Next week, Proposition 4, a proposed amendment to our state constitution, will come before the full House of Representatives – the final hurdle in a four-year process before it goes to the voters this November in a popular referendum. What is Proposition 4? It is the so-called “Equality of Rights” amendment. Don’t be fooled. That ... Read more

CARDELLO: The One We Worship is Powerful Enough to Win the Battle

Granite Grok - Sun, 2026-05-10 14:00 +0000

It was a night of stark contrasts as hundreds of believers gathered under a tent in a park, in the shadows of the Maine Capitol building, to pray for Maine and to formally ask for help from the Divine One, Jesus Christ. It was a powerful night of singing and prayer, very reminiscent of the ... Read more

MACDONALD: Another University Tightens Belt

Granite Grok - Sun, 2026-05-10 11:00 +0000

It’s not huge news but following recent content on a potential shift away from four-year schools toward trades and other learning investments, it adds some weight to the argument. What argument? The progressive university laundromat is falling on tough times. Exchanging massive debt for a useless degree and no real-world skills is losing its appeal. ... Read more

IMANI: Roya

Granite Grok - Sun, 2026-05-10 02:00 +0000

My recently released book, Roya, is more than a memoir of lost love; it is a haunting exploration of the intensity of youth in a vanished Iran. It is for anyone who has ever searched through the pages of a book to find a mirror for their own devotion. The woman seems to possess an ... Read more

MACDONALD: Why Didn’t Dems Find All This Fraud?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-09 21:00 +0000

Democrats thought DOGE was a threat to the System? It was and still is. It didn’t go anywhere. The same tech is in use for other means, and that probably includes the new anti-fraud initiative ordered by Trump and led by JD Vance. The NGO fraud was bad, and there’s plenty more of that. ACT ...

CARDELLO: Trump is Winning the Chess Match but Gambling with the Midterms

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-09 14:00 +0000

For a man that the Democrats say is unfit for office and in severe mental decline, Donald Trump is proving to be an incredible manipulator and is recalibrating the geopolitical makeup of the Globe with a surgeon’s precision. Democrats are mistaking the fact that they do not understand the level at which Trump and his ... Read more

MACDONALD: “The Vaccine Schedule” as a Warning

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-09 11:00 +0000

You might be able to pass it off as another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Or the progressive knee-jerk reaction that requires them to want the opposite of anything and everything the Trump Administration promotes. Pregnant women should be careful with Tylenol, as it might affect their unborn baby. That’s them, so when Secretary Kennedy ... Read more
