MACDONALD: UN Gets Read The Riot Act

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-12-31 22:00 +0000

The UN and its bits and pieces are what happens when human nature has unconstrained access to virtue signaling and other people’s money. Its purpose, like many NGOs and non-profits of the progressive hue (see also Somali-run “care” agencies), is to fund itself and its growing ‘staff.’ It’s a crime family using legal means to ...

OPINION: The Third Rail – COVID-19 Vaccines and Cancer

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-12-30 22:00 +0000

I’m going to touch on a highly controversial subject, one that has become the third rail among cancer biologists and the broader medical community: the possible link between COVID-19 vaccination and cancer. Because my laboratory’s mission is centered on cancer prevention, I cannot in good conscience ignore the elephant in the room.  As my colleague, ... Read more

MACDONALD: If You Choose To be Ignorant, All The Better

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-12-30 19:00 +0000

Whenever people who have access to power or influence (that includes money) insist that you do not need certain basic skills, you should be suspicious. If they tell you that reading, math, language skills, especially the primary language of the nation in which you live, is racist, discriminatory, or – in today’s example – a ... Read more

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-12-30 15:00 +0000

I realize I devoted my most recent article to the Islamic invasion of America. Still, I absorbed a plethora of information over the weekend about the depth of the fraud and corruption in Minnesota, and now in Maine, that I feel we cannot cover this situation enough. A friend of ours is from Edina, which is a ... Read more

SMITH: A NH Paint Tax SQUAD?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-12-30 10:00 +0000

When someone says “The Squad,” most people think of AOC and three other far-left young women of color in DC, but why should they have a monopoly on those words?  Old white men in NH who call themselves Republicans appear to want in on it.  They just don’t know it.  Look at this fearsome foursome ...

MACDONALD: Somali Fraud is Another Dem Campaign Funding Op

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-12-29 22:00 +0000

I can’t say for how long Somali fraud schemes will dominate searches in the real world. That would be, ironically, the internet world, which can tend to be more surreal than real. The supposed media isn’t doing any heavy lifting on these stories if they lift anything at all. Locally, WMUR, News 9, has zero ... Read more

Nashua’s Weaponized Decorum In Nashua, the definition of “civility” is not a fixed principle; it is a sliding scale that depends entirely on who holds the microphone. On August 26, 2021, I used a single vulgar word during a public meeting to describe a City Attorney’s conduct. My frustration was the culmination of a seven-month ... Read more
