Granite Grok - 47 min 21 sec ago

Spielberg is releasing yet another movie about psychic phenomena that may be caused by, or are a result of… aliens. This is not his first foray into the genre. His famous two movies, “ET The Extra-Terrestrial” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” previously explored the possibility of aliens, either among us or visiting us. ... Read more

Granite Grok - 3 hours 47 min ago

Today, on your Morning Update, the Iran thing is a thing that, like most things, would shrink onto the back burner but for the obvious rise in gas prices.

ROPER: Want to Save Rural Schools? Go Independent

Granite Grok - 5 hours 47 min ago

In the wake of Act 73/H.955 education “reform” and the emphasis on consolidation, there has been considerable worry in rural Vermont about what this means for their small, local schools. For many, it will mean closure. A recent op-ed by Nina Antin notes, “When Sen. Ruth Hardy, D-Addison, presented H.955 on the Vermont Senate floor, ... Read more

CLINE: Tax Cuts for The Long Run

Granite Grok - 12 hours 47 min ago

As the 2026 legislative session wound down, it looked as though Republicans wouldn’t be able to agree on one of the party’s signature issues: cutting business taxes.

MACDONALD: Dems Suddenly Love Toxic Masculinity?

Granite Grok - 14 hours 47 min ago

Democrats hate women. I’ve written quite a lot about that. Much the way they hate minorities- I mean, look what they did to them? From one plantation to another and trapping them on the public dole is hardly compensation for wrecking their families, killing their babies (abortion, drugs, crime), while framing even a basic education ...

CARDELLO: Democrats and Their Abstract Media “Art”

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-06-09 21:00 +0000

If you listen to the words of Democrats, you would think they all still dress in the garb they wore the day ‘we’ signed the Declaration of Independence. You would think they not only read and understood the Constitution, but also sat with James Madison and contributed to its writing. Their actions, however, are quite ... Read more

RAM: Wolves, Sheep and Sheep Dogs

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-06-09 18:00 +0000

The “wolf, sheep, and sheepdog” analogy was popularized by military psychologist Lt. Col. Dave Grossman in his book “On Combat” and was brought to the mainstream in the film “American Sniper.” The concept divides the human population into three distinct archetypes based on their relationship to violence and their capacity to act as protectors. The ... Read more

MACDONALD: If You Vote Democrat, You Asked For This

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-06-09 16:00 +0000

Seattle, the city, has become a crazy homeless person. I know, Seattle, again, yes. Every poster child for democrat rule needs to have its dirty laundry aired so the so-called middle, filled with moderate, independent voters, understands. There’s no coming back from what Democrats will do and ignore what they say because there are numerous ... Read more

On January 7, President Trump issued a memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies ordering them to withdraw from using public funds that support international organizations with interests contrary to the U.S. ( 31 UN entities).

OPINION: The 100 Year Islamic Plan Of Conquest

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-06-09 02:00 +0000

In 1982, a rare Muslim Brotherhood document called “The Project” first appeared, outlining a long-term strategic plan for “civilization jihad” or “Islamization” of Western societies. This strategy did not involve violence but rather both mass migration and infiltration of all institutions in order to subvert democratic systems from within, exploiting their generosity, tolerance, and naivety. ...

It’s already common knowledge that Rosenwald is retiring from the senate, and the enemy camp has selected Telerski to be her replacement.  Queen Sharon called her and Ruth Ward up to her podium to be recognized and receive clocks as retirement gifts and address the rest of the senate.  I expected the usual themes a ...
