IMANI: An Open Letter to the God of Islam

Granite Grok - 4 hours 39 min ago

It is axiomatic that to be a Muslim, you must believe in Allah by taking him as your one and only lord, accept Muhammad as Allah’s beloved messenger, and take the Quran as a literal work of Allah and a perfect prescription for living. Hard as I tried, I had a terrible time being a ... Read more

MACDONALD: Once Again, The Problem isn’t Guns, it’s Progressives

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-02-13 22:00 +0000

Remember Bob and Doug McKenzie. SCTV and later CBC TV. A filler bit that exploded into a phenomenon. An Album, the movie Strange Brew. I wonder what that would look like today. G’Day, Eh, and welcome to the Great Woke North. So, like, this is me as a gunperson in a dress, eh? Canada is ... Read more

KLAR: Florida Bill Seeks to Expand Vaccine Exemptions

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-02-13 19:00 +0000

Conscience vs science? A post-pandemic tension between public safety and individual liberties has infused Florida’s ongoing effort to balance vaccine mandates and parental choice. A pending bill would broaden the state’s current religious exemption to include allowances for “conscience.” Opponents, however, fear the expansion will expose unvaccinated children to disease risks. Florida’s Exemption Battle In ... Read more

Friday Meme Thing

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-02-13 17:00 +0000

You lived to tell the tale of another week, and here we are to celebrate. Memes, baby, tasteless, spicy, often painfully honest, not always making total sense memes. And probably a few that are full of it but funny as hell. Hey. It’s a meme. That’s what they are for. . . . . . ... Read more

COLQUHOUN: Unpaid Taxes and Fiscal Responsibility in Nashua

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-02-13 15:00 +0000

A Closer Look Mayor Donchess wanted the State of New Hampshire to spend $20 million to acquire the Xinhua property for housing development, yet this plan omits critical financial realities. The City of Nashua stands at a crossroads where enforcing existing tax regulations could recover significant unpaid revenues from delinquent property owners, including Xinhua itself. ... Read more

OPINION: We Are At A Crossroads 

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-02-13 10:00 +0000

Most people have no idea how perilous our current situation is. The entirety of the Democrat Party is engaged in a treasonous coup and open rebellion against Trump, at the federal, state, judicial and local levels. It’s not as easy as just doing some paperwork and arresting people. It’s all one giant criminal conspiracy, imbedded ... Read more

PAYNE: Crimes of Educators

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-02-13 03:00 +0000

Parents, your leaders have paid a high price for failure.  The United States spends over $900 billion annually on K-12 education. Funds controlled by the Education Mafia (the “EM”), the creators and the administrators of the psychological poison that indoctrinates our children with the curricula created by UNESCO and the Department of Education, chosen textbooks, ...

MACDONALD: Why You Need to Shadow Lunatic Lefties Online

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-02-12 22:00 +0000

Remember Oyster River School Board Member Giana Gelsey. Last July, she was only slightly ahead of the outrage curve with demands that “we” need to dox law enforcement. She meant federal agents. Doxing is illegal in lots of places, but announcing to the world that “we” need to do it is protected speech. Even for ... Read more

CARDELLO: Does Nancy Guthrie Deserve 24/7 Coverage

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-02-12 17:00 +0000

Today’s article may not be a very popular position with some, and to others, I may come across as heartless, but enough already with the 24/7 news coverage of the missing Nancy Guthrie. Nancy disappeared from her Arizona home nearly two weeks ago, and after all of this coverage, we still know little of the ... Read more

As the smoke from the forest fires and chem-trails settled along the bay the full spectrum of colors and disorders emerged from the thunderously loud crowd of ball worshippers there to venerate America’s favorite holiday festival – the Stupor Bowl.  This year’s dialectical offering pitted New England’s favorite Patriots against the tent city hopefuls from ...

CARDELLO: Are We All Born With a Moral Compass

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-02-12 10:00 +0000

Are we all born with that feeling in the pit of our stomach that something is wrong when we see it, or are we born with a blank filter that gets filled as we experience life, coaches, and mentors? Aren’t we all sickened when we see someone mistreat a dog, or did our parents have ... Read more

BANFIELD: How the Student Protests Hurt Public Schools, and Teachers

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-02-12 03:00 +0000

I hope we can all agree that even if we disagreed with the students who protested at their schools over the past couple of weeks, they have a right to free speech. There is no argument that students may express their views. However, when that expression takes place during the school day and on school ... Read more

MACDONALD: Where Progressives Do Not Fear To Tread

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-02-11 22:00 +0000

The idea that the globalist left, which includes elites and American progressives, will protect and defend speech, association, or assembly that they disagree with is absurd. At every opportunity, they actively work to control words, speech, and, by extension, thoughts. Any crisis, real or imagined, is an excuse to create fear and to silence dissent. ... Read more
