OPINION: Battlefield AI Lessons Learned

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-04-09 18:00 +0000

Real Clear Wire The past month delivered something rare in national security: real-world evidence of how artificial intelligence performs in conflict. Not in theory, not in demonstrations, and not in Silicon Valley pitch decks – but in the messy, high-stakes environment of modern warfare. What works in a demo doesn’t always survive first contact with ... Read more

MACDONALD: Bridging The Divide Is Harder Than You Think

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-04-09 16:00 +0000

I am skeptical when, given the current political climate and recent history, anything calling itself a safe space where both sides can find common ground pops up from the trenches. Political operatives like to craft them to persuade otherwise well-meaning moderates to the left and to give progressives who join cover. Oh, look, so-and-so is ... Read more

OPINION: Constitutional Government and the Tenth Amendment

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-04-09 14:00 +0000

In their book Who Killed the Constitution, Thomas E. Woods and Kevin C.R. Gutzman argue that the demise of constitutionalism—the principle of limited government—is by no means a recent development. It can be traced back several decades, “close to a century.” It is not the work of just one political party or another, but an assault ... Read more

SMITH: A “Silent Tim?”

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-04-09 09:00 +0000

I will undoubtedly get told to repent if I say this, but I’m going to say it anyway.  My least favorite part of the Bible is Timothy.  I don’t care for wives being told to submit (Ephesians) to their husbands, either, but I’ve been able to keep that issue irrelevant by staying single. Timothy, however, wants ...

MACDONALD: Still ‘Worrying’ Over COVID?

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-04-08 21:00 +0000

Ray wrote a post earlier that mentioned the not-so-honorable “chief” high-cheekbones Warren. She’s your typical nutjob Dem who will be in the Senate until she dies of old age. Being an AWFL with TDS ensures she will outlive almost everyone else, so we’re stuck with her and her priorities. I have the privilege of living ... Read more

ROPER: Sometimes the Sausage Not Being Made Is Uglier Than the Sausage

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-04-08 18:00 +0000

How a non-vote exposed the Democrats’ true attitudes regarding the housing crisis When new Vermont House members receive their orientation to how things work in the legislature, one point of etiquette driven home is that it’s not good form to spring amendments to bills onto the floor without a healthy heads up. “No surprises,” goes ...

CARDELLO: Elizabeth Warren is Right, I am Scared

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-04-08 14:00 +0000

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) published a reel on Facebook on Tuesday, and for once, she could not be more accurate, but not as she thinks. Warren was trying to make a point that President Donald Trump has, by his actions, shown himself to be unfit to serve, and people of both sides are scared about ... Read more

As a young 7th grader, I heard JFK challenge the Nation in his Inaugural Address: “Ask not what your Country can do for you; Ask what you can do for your Country!”  JFK made Americans proud with this statement.

In her March 2026 address, Elizabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff offers a chillingly precise dissection of how free societies surrender their foundational liberties. It is a speech that eschews the histrionics of modern political rhetoric in favor of a structural analysis, treating the erosion of freedom not as a sudden explosion, but as a slow, tectonic shift in ...

MACDONALD: Wassup With NH Mobile Home Parks?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-04-07 21:00 +0000

The term “mobile home” has a negative connotation. White trash Appalachian hillbilly crossed with white trash Oklahoma twister bait. I lived in one briefly and rented a room in another that was nicer than some homes I’ve been in. The latter is decidedly not mobile, while the former could have been moved. We owned the ...
