BANFIELD: Is There a Growing Apathy For Bullying in Our Schools?

Granite Grok - 9 min 21 sec ago

After speaking at a recent hearing on bullying legislation in New Hampshire, I left with a troubling question: Is there a growing apathy toward the suffering of bullied children in our schools? For years, Representative Glenn Cordelli—until recently the Chairman of the House Education Policy Committee—has worked to strengthen laws that protect students. I have ... Read more

CLINE: Will NH Be the Second State To Leave RGGI?

Granite Grok - 5 hours 9 min ago

Pennsylvania shocked Northeast energy policy nerds this week by withdrawing from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). To get a state budget passed, Gov. Josh Shapiro agreed to remove Pennsylvania from the 11-state carbon cap-and-trade program, making it the first state to exit since RGGI was created in 2005.  RGGI is supposed to reduce regional ...

GrokTALK!: Shutdown Dems & The Health Insurance Industrial Complex

Granite Grok - 14 hours 9 min ago

MACDONALD: Islam Keeps Winning

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-11-17 22:00 +0000

Whether you view the election as a win for Islam or not, the conquest of the West continues. Build a mosque. Use its cultural center to expand influence outward. Take cultural and then political control – politics, if you recall, is downstream from culture. America has more than a few places where Sharia is law, ... Read more

State v. Me – This Judge I’ll Stand For

Free Keene - Mon, 2025-11-17 19:23 +0000

Judge Patrick W. Ryan has issued an order regarding my Motion To Refrain From Authorizing Physical Force to Demand Respect and Motion To Dismiss.

The Judge has agreed to allow me to sit and not force me to respect the State of New Hampshire.  I like this Judge already.  He, personally as a New Hampshire judicial officer, I will stand up for and show respect.

The Judge has also agreed to give me five minutes to make my constitutional argument that Part I, Article 10 is implicated with the continued enforcement of victimless crimes when state officers are above the same laws everyone else must follow.

I will ask that the Judge swear me in so I may offer testimony regarding my experiences as a non-lawyer representative representing Jason Talley in 2011/2012.

The hearing is at 9:15AM on 12/05/25 at the Keene District Court.

 

BOVARD: Food Stamps and the Federal War on Self-Reliance

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-11-17 19:00 +0000

During the recent government shutdown, the temporary interruption of benefits to 42 million food stamp recipients was hyped as practically the greatest human rights violation of our time. A Nation magazine headline howled: “The United States Is Letting Its People Starve.” But the delayed payments had scant impact in part because many states offered supplemental benefits, many recipients had ...

OPINION: Why ObamaCare Is Failing and How to Replace It

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-11-17 15:00 +0000

Fundamentally, it had a flawed design. Its architects meant to appeal to the public, promising what the old system could not fully deliver – guaranteed access to affordable health cover and coverage for pre-existing conditions (PECs). But they were wrong about being able to keep your doctor or your old policy if you wanted. Previously, ... Read more

MACDONALD: What If “Global Warming” Caused an Ice Age?

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-11-17 03:00 +0000

My attraction to the left’s obsession with “climate chaos” is derived from two fundamental truths. First, it is based on ridiculously unscientific “science.” Low-hanging fruit, if you prefer. For example, the notion of consensus is opposed to what science is—the endless testing and evaluation of conventions in pursuit of truth. The moment a majority of ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-11-16 22:00 +0000

While we wait for Democrats to explain why they didn’t give a rat’s ass about sex trafficking of minor girls when they had the chance to release all those “Epstein Files,” let’s consider another lifestyle choice they can’t bring themselves to oppose – Muslims and Islam, which emulates its dear leader, who enshrined the notion of child-brides ...

Deporting illegals, rebuilding our Military’s character and mission, lowering gas prices, and attempting to prosecute all the government miscreants who shamelessly lied to the American people, is all good, BUT IT AIN’T ENOUGH, particularly, for a lot of lower-middle-class and low-income Americans this Thanksgiving.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting 9CPB) has been defunded for several weeks now, and the world didn’t end. NPR and PBS continue with their programming, but for how long? CPB, which laundered tax dollars to the achaic and no longer necessary offspring, is decruting and at some point its offices, like those of USAID, will ... Read more
