Granite Grok - 2 hours 1 min ago

Step outside on a clear, moonless night and look up. Those few thousand stars you can see are a tiny sliver of one galaxy. The Milky Way stretches roughly 100,000 to 120,000 light-years and holds hundreds of billions of stars. Far beyond it, 2.5 million light-years away, Andromeda (M31) glows: a spiral of about a ...

Crime is down for a very good reason. Someone is enforcing the laws we already have. Be they immigration, illegal entry, or just the everyday variety meant to keep you safe from people who would do you harm and steal your stuff. Not Democrats.

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-10-17 11:00 +0000

The Left never gives up, especially when it comes to restricting your natural rights.

Shane Gillis rose from the dead to do what good comedians always do. They make liberals mad. If you’ve made them uncomfortable, mad, or triggered them, you’re winning.

Eight months, zero ordinances, and a legal alibi instead of a legal opinion Nashua’s Legal Department has known since February that disabled residents have a right to ask for remote access to public meetings.

IMANI: The Progressive Fraud – Old World Collectivism Sold as Enlightenment

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-10-16 14:00 +0000

Modern progressivism presents itself as the enlightened endpoint of political history: compassionate, forward-looking, and always on the right side of progress. Strip away the branding, and you find something much older. It is a repackaging of twentieth-century European collectivism, with the same instinct to centralize power and manage the lives of ordinary people. Michael Savage ... Read more
