CARDELLO: Some Reflection on Another Assassination Attempt

Granite Grok - 3 hours 16 min ago

I needed a few days before putting my thoughts to paper about another effort to bring down Donald Trump. The web and news were filled with “experts” giving their analysis of the shooting and the shooter, but the truth is, we may never know the true reason for this lapse in sanity, and this guy ...

KLAR: The Iran War Threatens To Pull The Plug On American Farming’s Life Support

Granite Grok - 10 hours 16 min ago

As the price of oil soars and bombs strike Middle East oil and natural gas facilities, memories of the OPEC oil embargo of the 1970s resurface for many Americans. That crisis was resolved by simply turning the oil spigots back on; this conflict threatens to blow them up. Dramatic changes in U.S. food production and distribution since ... Read more

MACDONALD: What Dems Actually Need ‘On Campus’

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-04-28 21:00 +0000

Two days before Christmas, 2025, we shared what I thought was one of the dumbest names for an activist group in recent memory. The bumbling DNC announced its “effort” to compete with Turning Point USA on Campus. How is that not like saying you need to add seawater to the ocean? One of the reasons ... Read more

TYSON: When Sports Became a Spectator Sport in Claremont

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-04-28 18:00 +0000

Last August, the Claremont school district stared into a five-million-dollar hole, and the community did what communities do. People wrote checks. People ran fundraisers. People rallied for the kids. The athletic department, in particular, became a cause celebre. Cut the sports? Unthinkable. Sports build character. Sports keep kids off the streets. One of the loudest ... Read more

MACDONALD: The Left Loves High Energy Prices

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-04-28 16:00 +0000

Proglodyte whiners are on their high-energy price horse yet again as the world watches Iran, the United States, and the Strait of Hormuz. But Democrats love high energy prices. They must necessarily skyrocket under any of their plans. As high as they may be where you are, they are much higher in Blue States and ... Read more

When a Judge Tells You to Go Be Political Seven and ½ months. That is how long a single ethics complaint has been waiting to be screened by the City of Nashua’s Ethics Review Committee. Not read.

IMANI: Macron’s Cowardice – France’s Retreat Before Jihadism

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-04-28 09:00 +0000

For centuries, the French Republic has struggled to define its relationship with the Islamic world, often oscillating between colonial control and strategic avoidance. Today, President Emmanuel Macron embodies the latest – and perhaps most dangerous – iteration of this failure. While his rhetoric claims to defend laïcité (secularism), his actions reveal a deep-seated political cowardice. ... Read more
