MACDONALD: Biden Honored – I have Questions

Granite Grok - 1 hour 16 min ago

I confess I’m a bit disappointed. When I saw the headline touting Biden’s award from Planned Parenthood, I was envisioning a brick with a sculpture of bloody forceps. And I’m not sure why it isn’t called the Kermit Gosnell Award. Biden received the 2026 Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award from the abortion biz and Biden ... Read more

MACDONALD: US Confidence Index Remains Elevated Despite Background “Noise”

Granite Grok - 10 hours 16 min ago

The overall economic news is good. GDP is up, wages and annual income are up, inflation is under control, the economy is adding real jobs, and hundreds of thousands of people who wanted full-time work but were stuck in part-time hell have found full-time jobs. We’re in a great place if we can just survive ... Read more

MACDONALD: Violated

Granite Grok - 12 hours 16 min ago

While the political left wails about another act of Trump tyranny, the real infringement has gone unreported and practically unnoticed. CNN, MSNOW, and Politico sued to regain their campus access rights to the White House. There’s no such thing, but a judge has already ordered that they be allowed back. The nation is filled with ...

EWING: Dem Leadership Supports and Funds Radical DSA candidates

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-09-26 21:00 +0000

The Democrat Party has a long anti-democratic history; now it’s fielding Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) candidates who want to replace the American Constitution that protects our rights, and implement policies that will make American life more dangerous, less free, and much poorer.   Democrats use government to violate our rights or allow them to ...

MACDONALD: 1915 and 1927

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-09-26 18:00 +0000

Until this year, 1914 was the least active Atlantic Basin hurricane season on record. I know, on record doesn’t mean much. If the Earth is 4 billion years old, the absence of 3.9999999999… billion years’ worth of records makes any predictions or remembrances appear insignificant. And so they are, but what interests me isn’t how ... Read more

OPINION: The Cannon Mountain Tramway State Contract Overbid

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-09-26 14:00 +0000

The recent $44.6 million dollar overbid contract before the Governor and Executive Council for the replacement of the Cannon Mountain aerial tramway asks a continuing question: Should New Hampshire be in the ski area business? Completed in 1980 and used beyond its design capabilities, the tramway is a centerpiece of a ski area inside a ... Read more

MACDONALD: Personhood Precedent

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-09-26 11:00 +0000

There are and have been cases where a pregnant mother is killed, and both deaths are litigated as wrongful deaths. Laws exist to that end, and we have one here in New Hampshire (Fetal Homicide Statute). But a case in New Mexico appears to be the first of its kind. The estate of a 26-week-old ... Read more

The New England Take: Racist Bootlicker?!?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-09-26 00:00 +0000

This week, on The New England Take, the LPNH makes a dumb comment about assassinating Democrats; A. J. is called a racist for wanting police, not ICE, to detain illegals; and the hypocrisy about “watchlists” Links: Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent those of Grok Media, LLC, GraniteGrok.com, its sponsors, readers, ...

It’s that time of the month. My appearance on WFEA’s Morning Update with Jeff Chidester. This week, we start with campaign commercials, specifically the dueling montage directed at the open U.S. Senate seat in New Hampshire.

CARDELLO: Guilty of War Crimes?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-09-25 18:00 +0000

It does not matter the topic or the issue; as far as the JV talking heads on MSNOW are concerned, Donald Trump and his supporters are guilty. It goes beyond the absolute hatred of Donald Trump; it is obvious that these people are rooting against America in every story they discuss. Trump addressed the UN ... Read more

The Camera That Knows Where Your Car Has Been

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-09-25 16:45 +0000

That little black box on the utility pole down the street is photographing your car every time you drive past. If it’s one of the automated license plate readers now bolted to poles in thousands of American neighborhoods, it’s snapping your plate, stamping it with a time and GPS location, and shipping the record to ...

IMANI: Why Iran’s Path to Freedom Is Closer Than The West Thinks

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-09-25 14:00 +0000

For decades, the ruling apparatus in Tehran has relied on two foundational lies to maintain its grip on power: first, that the Iranian opposition is fragmented and planless; second, that no viable structure exists inside the country to manage a transition. Today, as the Islamic Republic enters its most precarious era of institutional decay, both ... Read more

The Dashcam That Kept Rolling: How Always-On Vehicle Cameras Can Reshape Traffic Stops on Both Sides of the Case

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-09-25 13:03 +0000

A traffic stop is now a multi-camera production, and the driver is holding one of the cameras. The officer has a body cam and a cruiser cam. The dashboard has a forward camera, an in-cabin lens, and often a rear-facing one. A parked car down the block may be running sentry mode. By the time ... Read more

How the Rollback of the CFPB’s Medical Debt Rule Is Putting Old Balances Back Into Collections

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-09-25 12:56 +0000

That old hospital bill on your credit report? The federal rule that was supposed to keep it off got vacated in court. The account you thought was buried is back in the file the next lender pulls. Take one balance and follow it. An emergency-room charge from two years ago was reported, disputed, sold, resold, ... Read more

The Car Was Supposed to Brake On Its Own, So Who’s at Fault Now?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-09-25 12:50 +0000

The federal rule requiring automatic emergency braking in every new passenger vehicle is going to change how fault gets assigned in rear-end crashes long before it changes a single crash statistic. Almost nobody is talking about that part. The regulation targets automakers and their compliance timelines, but the second-order effects land on drivers, insurers, and ... Read more

Today on the Morning Update, the 2028 presidential prom is coming up, and Kamala Harris doesn’t have a “date” yet. The DNC doesn’t want her, California voters don’t want her, but she’s an entitled climber with her eyes on the only rung left, and she has to earn this one. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble ... Read more

OPINION: I Was Right about Gordon MacDonald

I got up and spoke out against former Gordon MacDonald at his Executive Council confirmation hearing.

I got up after introducing myself to the council and handed AG MacDonald my not-guilty slip, which I still have. ... Read more
