MACDONALD: “Going Postal” Just Got Less Attractive…

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-10-06 09:00 +0000

Beginning in the mid-eighties (1980s), a series of disgruntled civil service employees working for the United States Postal Service took out their frustration by shooting up post offices. The term “going postal” was born and generally applied to anyone who completely lost it in the workplace or in regard to it. Post offices were soft ... Read more

OPINION: Individualism and the Violence of the Identitarian Left

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-10-06 02:00 +0000

Many people were shocked to see the identitarian left erupting in ghoulish celebration when news broke that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated. Students who despised Kirk’s political views were seen chanting, “We got Charlie in the neck.” The British sociologist Frank Furedi argues that these students are not confined to a radical, unhinged fringe, nor do they merely ...

MACDONALD: Dems Shutdown The Government Over Circumcisions in Zambia?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-10-05 21:00 +0000

While we continue to rant about the Dems holding Democrat civil servants hostage in exchange for “health care for illegals,” it turns out there are several other priorities in play. Yes, they want you to pay for health insurance for non-citizens, but they also want “$3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia.”  That’s according ... Read more

RON PAUL: The Real Jan. 6th Coup

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-10-05 18:00 +0000

In my first column after the events of Jan. 6th, 2021, I criticized those who called the protest a “coup,” pointing out that “Some of the same politicians and bureaucrats denouncing the ridiculous farce at the Capitol as if it were the equivalent of 9/11 have been involved for decades in planning and executing real ...

JANZ: No “Birthright” Citizenship for Non-Citizen Aliens

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-10-05 16:00 +0000

For the purposes of this discussion, I will not use the term “illegal alien” to indicate someone who is currently in the US through illegal means. Instead, I will refer to them, and those who have been granted visitor status (which including “green card” holders), as “noncitizen aliens”. One of the questions before the SCOTUS ... Read more

The State of New Hampshire Has No Right To Point Fingers At Robert L. Lamontagne

Free Keene - Sun, 2025-10-05 14:44 +0000

Back in 2011/2012 I posted at length here on FreeKeene.com about a case I was working on: State v. Jason Talley.

In that case a judge illegally ordered the arrest of a citizen journalist, Ademo Freeman, for literally asking questions about public policy and its enforcement…  some of the most protected speech under the 1st Amendment.  The judge lied to court bailiffs to have him arrested.

The Sullivan County Attorney at the time, Marc Hathaway, engaged in a word salad game to “clear” the judge of any criminal liability, but before that other high ranking judges in the New Hampshire Judicial Branch enacted rules restricting the state AND federal constitutions so that one of their own would never be embarrassed like that again.

I was interviewed by a now New Hampshire State Senator about this.

Now, Robert L. Lamontagne, who served nearly a decade in the state prison for a crime he never should have been convicted of, without a fair trial, is facing contempt charges for posting some “sealed” information.

See the hypocrisy here?  This is just a “good’ole boys club” where THEY can break the law with impunity but YOU get hammered into the ground if you make a simple mistake.

I can’t speak for Rob’s lawyer, Michael J. Iacopino, but in my opinion New Hampshire needs a legal revolution in the court system.  No longer should these questionable people be able to control your peaceful lives when they so glaringly are above the laws they are entrusted with administering.  There are two classes of men in New Hampshire: the club, and YOU.

You pay their salaries while they are above the laws you must follow.

If I was representing Rob still in this case I’d make his contempt hearing about Part I, Article 10 of the New Hampshire Constitution and prove way past the requirement of preponderance of the evidence up to and even way beyond a reasonable doubt that the New Hampshire government is corrupted and complicit in covering up its own illegal acts while penalizing the common citizen for acts that really aren’t a big deal.

De minimis non curat lex, Grafton County Attorney Hornick and Governor Ayotte.

MACDONALD: Canada is Seizing Firearms

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-10-05 11:00 +0000

Canada is about to enforce another “assisted suicide” law – the seizure of once lawful firearms. It’s an assisted suicide law because they know you have them, how many, and probably where they are, and if you don’t voluntarily turn them over, the police will be visiting, and that’s likely to result in some hard ...

MACDONALD: Yes, Democrats Want You To Pay For Benefits For Illegals

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-10-04 18:00 +0000

I’ve shared some of this outside the blog space, so my apologies if you’ve seen it already, but I had to comment as well. Jeanne Shaheen is an F-ing joke. She knows damn well what her party’s priorities are and why. She’s inside, an architect, so this is nothing short of a bald-faced lie she ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-10-04 10:00 +0000

If you had any doubts about who is running the Democratic party these days, it is not Democrats per se. Yes, they are in the party, but most of them are not in elected office. They are the monsters the elected Democrats created, hatched over decades from the White Towers, kept warm by white hate ... Read more

IMANI: The Birth of a Jihadist

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-10-04 02:00 +0000

Astounded by what fanatic Muslims do, some conclude that Muslims are brainwashed. Otherwise, how can their totally illogical belief system and barbaric behavior be explained? But the notion of “brainwashing” that is bandied about is the stuff of science fiction and Hollywood movies such as The Manchurian Candidate. The human person arrives in this world ... Read more

With Democrats claiming that the government has shut down because Republicans don’t want to deal with health care, it’s time for a reminder that if Democrats really want to provide subsidized health care to people who think that’s a good idea, they don’t need Republicans to do that:   If the UK can implement a single-payer ...
