CARDELLO: Democrats Have Gone from Me Too to Not Me

Granite Grok - 1 hour 11 min ago

Maybe this is just another attack on women. After all, they want men to undress in your daughter’s locker room in high school, and to injure your daughter badly on the basketball or volleyball court. They want your once champion collegiate swimmer, who is poised to win an NCAA individual title, to stand on the ... Read more

Morning Update: Bank Fraud

Granite Grok - 4 hours 11 min ago

Today on the Morning Update, the SPLC interim Grand Poobah had to defend his organization before Congress, and while it’s galling that the SPLC funded hate and profited from that, and put groups like Moms for Liberty on the Hate Map, it’s not what they did, but how they did it. Watch on the ‘Grok ... Read more

KLAR: Moral Decline in America?

Granite Grok - 6 hours 11 min ago

In the midst of unprecedented national division, Republicans and Democrats have apparently found something upon which they agree: that US moral values are “poor.” A May 1-17 Gallup survey offered a sobering assessment of Americans’ negative views of their country’s moral trajectory. For Better or Worse Gallup reported a 12-percentage-point increase (to 56%) from last ... Read more

SMITH: Community Power? Think Twice

Granite Grok - 13 hours 11 min ago

There has been plenty of discussion at multiple levels of government and among ordinary commoners about the subject of energy.  Also, there’s an abundance of subject material on the internet, but amid all that chatter, I ran into this WMUR short video discussing Community Power(CP), something I’ve written about before.  After watching it, I noticed ...

MACDONALD: White Egg Supremacists

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-06-10 21:00 +0000

Breaking news. A UK Supermarket chain is racist. Yes. Sainsbury’s, a dominant retail outfit in the UK that runs just under 1,500 locations (plus a few hundred others under different names), is banning brown eggs. All I can think to say is White Egg Supremacy. What’s next, swastikas and goose-stepping? Maybe. Their stated rationale for ... Read more

CARDELLO: Dialog has been Replaced with Hatred

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-06-10 18:00 +0000

I have been writing a daily political opinion article for over 5 years, nearly 2,000 consecutive days, and I have received a fair share of criticism. I can handle criticism, as that is what fuels conversation and debate. I have said from my first article that my purpose was not to profess I had all ... Read more

JANZ: It’s Just a Movie, Folks

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-06-10 14:00 +0000

Spielberg is releasing yet another movie about psychic phenomena that may be caused by, or are a result of… aliens. This is not his first foray into the genre. His famous two movies, “ET The Extra-Terrestrial” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” previously explored the possibility of aliens, either among us or visiting us. ... Read more

Morning Update: Dems See Iran as a Threat?

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-06-10 11:00 +0000

Today, on your Morning Update, the Iran thing is a thing that, like most things, would shrink onto the back burner but for the obvious rise in gas prices. So, what do people think about Iran despite that issue? Gallup polled some folks, and the results were surprising. 00:00 Iran as a Threat to Stability01:45 ... Read more

ROPER: Want to Save Rural Schools? Go Independent

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-06-10 09:00 +0000

In the wake of Act 73/H.955 education “reform” and the emphasis on consolidation, there has been considerable worry in rural Vermont about what this means for their small, local schools. For many, it will mean closure. A recent op-ed by Nina Antin notes, “When Sen. Ruth Hardy, D-Addison, presented H.955 on the Vermont Senate floor, ... Read more

CLINE: Tax Cuts for The Long Run

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-06-10 02:00 +0000

As the 2026 legislative session wound down, it looked as though Republicans wouldn’t be able to agree on one of the party’s signature issues: cutting business taxes. During committee of conference negotiations last week, word spread (and was even reported in the news) that a House-passed Business Enterprise Tax cut was dead.  House and Senate ... Read more

MACDONALD: Dems Suddenly Love Toxic Masculinity?

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-06-10 00:00 +0000

Democrats hate women. I’ve written quite a lot about that. Much the way they hate minorities- I mean, look what they did to them? From one plantation to another and trapping them on the public dole is hardly compensation for wrecking their families, killing their babies (abortion, drugs, crime), while framing even a basic education ...

CARDELLO: Democrats and Their Abstract Media “Art”

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-06-09 21:00 +0000

If you listen to the words of Democrats, you would think they all still dress in the garb they wore the day ‘we’ signed the Declaration of Independence. You would think they not only read and understood the Constitution, but also sat with James Madison and contributed to its writing. Their actions, however, are quite ... Read more

RAM: Wolves, Sheep and Sheep Dogs

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-06-09 18:00 +0000

The “wolf, sheep, and sheepdog” analogy was popularized by military psychologist Lt. Col. Dave Grossman in his book “On Combat” and was brought to the mainstream in the film “American Sniper.” The concept divides the human population into three distinct archetypes based on their relationship to violence and their capacity to act as protectors. The ... Read more

MACDONALD: If You Vote Democrat, You Asked For This

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-06-09 16:00 +0000

Seattle, the city, has become a crazy homeless person. I know, Seattle, again, yes. Every poster child for democrat rule needs to have its dirty laundry aired so the so-called middle, filled with moderate, independent voters, understands. There’s no coming back from what Democrats will do and ignore what they say because there are numerous ... Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, are we looking at more 4D chess? FISA Section 702, which was used to spy on Trump’s campaign as part of the fake Steele Dossier and RussiaGate treason, expires on June 12th.

PAYNE: The Greatest Independence Day Gift

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-06-09 09:00 +0000

On January 7, President Trump issued a memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies ordering them to withdraw from using public funds that support international organizations with interests contrary to the U.S. ( 31 UN entities). This appears to be a great birthday gift for America’s 250th anniversary;  a serious effort to put ... Read more
