MACDONALD: When You Think About Assisted Dying in France…

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-02-24 17:00 +0000

France is one of those Western-style democracies that, after being liberated from the Nazis, began a long, slow decline toward the very tyranny they had escaped. A sort of Neo-monarchy with a protected political class capable of stopping populist uprising (ask Marine Le Pen about that), and increasingly like the one they shirked off during ... Read more

OPINION: “Setting the Record Straight…”

Granite Grok - Tue, 2026-02-24 10:00 +0000

In recent articles by various readers (Caledonian Record & Littleton Courier), I am disappointed by their unqualified remarks about President Trump as “…’Dictator in Chief’ and his thugs in charge.”  This writer goes on to say that “…millions can be spent on a White House ballroom and a proposed ‘Arc de Trump’, but we can’t ...

CARDELLO: A Tale of Two Very Different Winter Olympians

Granite Grok - Mon, 2026-02-23 15:00 +0000

I do not get excited about the Olympics. The spectacle was diminished for me when it became an event for professional athletes, and many are prima Donna professionals at that. There was something magical about amateur athletes who sacrificed so much to have a shot at hearing their national anthem and maybe their picture on ... Read more

BOWMAN: On George’s Day

Granite Grok - Mon, 2026-02-23 03:00 +0000

Today’s attitudes regard our American Constitution as an old and worn document from another age, one that is inadequate for today’s modern needs.  In fact, whenever it’s cited, an explanation for its use is usually given since today’s hindsight condemns its time to that sad and dark era of slavery.  We forget or even fail ...

Let’s put aside all the nonsense, and let’s ask this question: why do the Democrats oppose using voter identification to vote?
