Underwood: Do EFAs Actually Save Money?

Granite Grok - 4 hours 53 min ago
I’ve recently had questions from quite a few people about how Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs) work. During the conversations, they often mention that “the money follows the child” and “EFAs are saving money”. EFAs are one of many solutions for families for whom the default district school isn’t working. But families will be in a ... Read more

MacDonald: Neither “Climate Change” nor “Budget Cuts” Is Responsible for Flood Deaths in Texas

Granite Grok - 7 hours 53 min ago
Vermont floods occasionally, but until recently, when politics and money were at stake, no one blamed it on your trying to live a comfortable, affordable life. These days, that comfort is to blame for something that has been happening since long before peasants could find much, if any, comfort. Flooding happens, and people build stuff ... Read more

Klar: The Seesaw Court History of the Ten Commandments on Display

Granite Grok - 16 hours 53 min ago
A Louisiana law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools has been struck down by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals as unconstitutional. Texas Gov.

Smith: Free Speech Much, Alderman Dowd?

Granite Grok - 18 hours 53 min ago
Great theologians and secular philosophers alike have advised us to “practice gratitude.”  I think it’s a great idea and I know I should do more of that myself.  One sign post reminder of that appeared in my inbox as a group email from a Ward 3 watchdog.  What is high on my “gratitude list” today?  ...

People will die. Hundreds of people will die. Thousands of people will die. Thank goodness they stopped before they reached millions, as nobody would believe that hyperbole.

Colquhoun: Medicare Fraud Is Real and I Have The “Receipts”

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-07-08 14:00 +0000
By now, most Americans have heard about the Justice Department’s 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, which uncovered $14.6 billion in fraudulent schemes involving Medicare and taxpayer funds. What you may not realize is that this kind of fraud is happening quietly and regularly, to people like me, and possibly to you. In January 2023, ... Read more

MacDonald: When All You’ve Got Is TDS

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-07-08 11:00 +0000
When your entire identity and agenda are defined by someone like Donald Trump, RFKJ, and, for a brief moment, Elon Musk, the one thing external observers need to understand is why? The easy answer is that they don’t stand for anything but their own misinterpretations of what someone else is doing, followed by projections of ... Read more

Cardello: Texas Tragedy Is Also A Miracle

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-07-08 02:00 +0000
Mother Nature showed her ugly side on Saturday night and Sunday morning and claimed over 68 lives in the small town of Kerrville, Texas. As the rains came down at over 12 inches per hour, all that water had just one path to take. The water flowed into the Guadalupe River near San Antonio, and ... Read more

Gremlins ate my podcast, but I salvaged some of the conversation I recorded an excellent interview with Phil Kerpen from American Commitment last week about the One Big Beautiful Bill, and could not get it from recording to publication.

Let’s first give a hat tip to Kevin Landrigan for recognizing Victoria Sullivan’s senatorial accomplishments as a freshman, which was what inspired this article.  While I certainly want to make clear that I do NOT fancy myself in the same league as Kevin Landrigan nor do I see my Spotlight of Positivity citation as having ...

The question of who gets to vote in America is not just a matter of policy but a profound reflection of our constitutional heritage. To understand voting rights, we must return to the foundational documents—the U.S. and state constitutions—and interpret them through the lens of their original intent, as the U.S. Supreme Court has reaffirmed ...

I find it difficult to imagine that the 20% of the population with Trump Derangement Syndrome or those who are TDS “adjacent” could ever tire of expressing their ire in public. It’s more or less all they’ve got. What does your party stand for? Hating Trump! We’re not Trump. Trump is evil. He is destroying ... Read more

When I first started exploring online casinos, nothing caught my eye faster than no-deposit bonuses—free spins or cash just for signing up? Yes, please! But I quickly learned: not all offers are created equal. After testing dozens of casinos, I noticed most come with wagering requirements between 10x–30x. But the real gems? Those with playthroughs under ... Read more
