MACDONALD: Thomas Massie

Granite Grok - 6 hours 22 min ago

It is in my nature to like troublemakers. It’s part of why I always liked Rand Paul. I don’t agree with him all the time, but I like his spirit and perseverance, and he has conviction. Thomas Massie was a reasonable enough facsimile in the US House, but he didn’t lose because the GOP is ... Read more

MACDONALD: California ‘Singh’ Along

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-23 21:00 +0000

If you are an illegal alien truck driver named Singh, you might want to hang up the rig and hightail it out of America. Yes, Trump’s DOT has done good work on short notice to cull the ranks of drivers who can’t read or speak English. It has gone after states that issue OTR licenses, ... Read more

ROPER: Republicans Win Big But Dems Try To Claw Some Back

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-23 18:00 +0000

Thirteen of seventeen Senate Democrats joined every Republican in repealing Act 18, the Clean Heat Standard, in a significant moral victory for the GOP. (For those wondering, the four colossally out of touch “no” votes came from Andrew Perchlik (D/P- Washington), Ann Cummings (D-Washington), Becca White (D-Windsor), and Tanya Vyhovsky (D/P -Chittenden C.) But it ... Read more

SMITH: Don’t Vote To “Sell” Your Right To Vote

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-23 16:00 +0000

Never vote to sell your right to vote.  Your right to vote should be as sacred as free speech and bearing arms.  The latter shall not be infringed.  Unfortunately, there are some people who have no problem with your right to vote being infringed.  Sadly, lots of them are the kind of voters who show ...

An Open Letter to the NHCADSV in response to their FB Post on the Murder of Sandra Marisol Fuentes Huarache Your Facebook post alleging concern over Sandra Marisol Feuntes Huaracha’s murder is fickle.  You’ve sat on countless pointless “task forces” ordered by Governor after Governor, AG after AG and the unfortunate truth is that these ...

Special Saturday Edition of the Morning Update: Jim Crow 2.0

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-23 11:00 +0000

Today, on this special Saturday edition of the Morning Update, the redistricting narrative war just took an amusing turn. All that crying about black representation, discrimination, marginalization, voting rights, and Jim Crow 2.0 just died on the altar of the blind pursuit of left-wing political power. I just had to take a few minutes to ... Read more

CARDELLO: JD Vance Takes His Turn in the Media Cesspool

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-23 02:00 +0000

Some may think that title to be a bit crude, but I contend that there are two elements of today’s society working hard and in unison to bring down this country. One is the education infrastructure from K through Grad School, which has been manipulating and indoctrinating our young people for decades, teaching that America ... Read more

The Independents: The Day the GOP Killed Liberty: Why Massie’s Defeat Is Good News 

Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-05-23 00:00 +0000

This week, on The Independents with Carla Gericke, Thomas Massie — one of the last consistent anti-war, pro-liberty voices in Congress — was just obliterated in his primary by Trump, massive pro-Israel donor money, and the new hawkish GOP machine. On paper, it looks like a total defeat. But in reality, this “massacre” is one ... Read more

MACDONALD: 2A Wins and Losses in Christian v. Keane

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-05-22 21:00 +0000

After getting its fat blue ass handed to it in Bruen, the political left and New York State in particular tried to squeeze gun control into a tighter pair of jeans than ever it could possibly fit. Add Heller, and there isn’t much room left in there for gun-grabbing neo-Marxists to fit all their bullshit. ... Read more

COLQUHOUN: Budget Transparency Is Not Optional — It’s the Foundation of Public Trust

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-05-22 18:00 +0000

In every city, trust in government is built on a simple principle: taxpayers have the right to know how their money is being spent. In Nashua, that principle is now being tested. As the FY2027 budget moves forward, residents are being asked to accept a spending plan without access to the detailed line‑item information that ... Read more

PAYNE: The Rule Of Law Perverted

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-05-22 14:00 +0000

Many of us cheer evil trends of our day,  the rhetoric of politicians cheaply espousing words such as “the rule of law”.  Their words describe the essence of liberty without morality to back them up. Today’s politicians are effective because we, the people, are filled with cultural perversion. We know not what true law is because it ... Read more

CARDELLO: I Nearly Always Agree With Trump, But Having Trouble On This One

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-05-22 02:00 +0000

There are very few times during President Trump’s two terms that I disagreed with the President, but I am having a difficult time defending his hesitancy to finish the job in Iran. I agree with him 100% that we had to take action to stop the Iranian nuclear program and its threat to the Middle ... Read more

MACDONALD: Political Segregation Is Racism

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-05-22 00:00 +0000

Segregation is illegal. In every shape, form, phase, version, and even perception. The ‘State’ cannot isolate people by any demographic characteristic. Except for voting. Well, not anymore. The US Supreme Court ruled that segregation in congressional districts is segregation and discrimination and violates federal law. Democrats, who have been segregating longer than any other recognizable ... Read more

OPINION: A Response to Rep. Alicia Gregg, the NHCADSV, and Everyone Who Killed HB1633.

Granite Grok - Thu, 2026-05-21 21:00 +0000

Rep. Alicia Gregg published an op-ed in the *Concord Monitor* this week titled “Survivors deserve the truth.” She opens by establishing her standing — ”I am a survivor, and I work with survivors” — and she closes by accusing Rep. Ellen Read of using “survivors’ fear as a political tool.” I want to take Rep. Gregg’s title ... Read more
