SIMS: The Children Are Not a Plot Twist

Granite Grok - 4 hours 5 min ago

TL; DR: Liberal feminism, late-term abortion, and the Clancy spectacle I personally have found this story and everything around it absolutely disturbing. I wrote this piece because I can’t have children. Massachusetts spent August doing two things at once. Governor Maura Healey signed a law stripping the last gestational limits off abortion, surrounded by smiling ... Read more

OPINION: $1.4 Million Vanishes Into Thin Air Without Trace or Explanation

Granite Grok - 18 hours 5 min ago

“I’m Katie Hobbs, and the rules don’t apply to me.” That might as well run at the end of the next campaign ad featuring Arizona’s governor. Since taking office in 2023, Hobbs has been building a rap sheet of scandals that would make Minnesota Governor Tim Walz blush. From one of the largest Medicaid fraud scandals in Arizona history to a pay-to-play ... Read more

MACDONALD: Democrats WILL Trade Women AND the Rainbow for Power

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-09-02 21:00 +0000

The proglodytes have been creating victim classes to divide people in pursuit of political power, but that’s not the worst thing they’ve done or will do, and the word victim is key. Women. Remember when the Democrats were ranting about the war on women and binders full of women, and then they not only invited ... Read more

MCMAKEN: The High Cost of the Automated Flock-Camera Surveillance State

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-09-02 18:00 +0000

Flock cameras and the online surveillance network behind them offer many ways for law enforcement officials and other government bureaucrats to abuse their access to information about taxpayers’ personal lives.  For example, a Kentucky police officer has been caught using the surveillance network to stalk women.

Granite Grok - Wed, 2026-09-02 09:00 +0000

NH hasn’t passed an Article V Convention Application because I keep killing them, and I’ll do it again. You may have heard various groups calling for a “Convention of States”, as they call it.

MACDONALD: Improved Vetting of Citizenship Applicants is Back

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-09-01 21:00 +0000

Prior to 1991, if you applied for US citizenship, you had to take the test, but you also had to survive something called a neighborhood investigation.

MACDONALD: Massholes Embrace the De-Flocking Movement

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-09-01 16:00 +0000
