PAYNE: The Big Pharma Express Rolls On

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-11-10 10:00 +0000

Let us not fail to see the truth hiding behind  Trump euphoria. God blessed humankind with Inherent, unalienable rights, including the right to control one’s health. Preceding the Declaration of Independence’s challenge to a despotic world, a decade later, it was reinforced with teeth essential to liberty: the Bill of Rights.  Congress shall make no Law ...

MACDONALD: No Bright Lights in New York City’s Future

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-11-10 03:00 +0000

I contend that the Kardashians are popular, famous, and wealthy because they are a non-stop slow-motion train wreck. Like the rubberneckers that bring traffic on the non-accident side of the highway to a standstill, people have this objective obsession with other people’s misery. It is what makes reality television a thing that won’t go away. ... Read more

This week on the Elsa Kurt Show, we unpack week six of the shutdown, who is blocking a deal, and how it’s hitting families, flyers, and the force.

TYSON: Break the Cycle or Change the System

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-11-09 22:00 +0000

TLDR: The people who could be punished have been. Chasing more scalps won’t bring the money back and will burn cash we don’t have. The real failure is structural: the board slid into oligarchy. Everyone who played along shares responsibility, and recovery starts when we admit that, take a moral inventory, and rebuild the machinery ... Read more

IMANI: Mamdani’s Rage-Fueled Triumph Spells Doom for New York!

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-11-09 19:00 +0000

The ink on those cursed ballots is barely dry, and already the stench of betrayal hangs heavy over the skyline of New York City, that once-unconquerable fortress of American grit and ingenuity. The ink on those cursed ballots is barely dry, and already the stench of betrayal hangs heavy over the skyline of New York ... Read more

OPINION: Tax Foundation Rates New Hampshire #3 … So What?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-11-09 17:00 +0000

Policy debates in New Hampshire are remarkably superficial. For example, an organization called the Tax Foundation recently released its “State Tax Competitive Index”, which scored New Hampshire the third-best State: But should New Hampshire’s tax policy be to achieve as high a rating as possible on the Tax Foundation’s “competitive index”? The Governor, the local Koch ... Read more

SIMS: The Schumer Shutdown Continues

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-11-09 15:00 +0000

With no end in sight to the government shutdown, New Hampshire is losing millions of dollars during the most popular time of year for visitors. Families are skipping meals, veterans are losing vital support, and small businesses are teetering on the brink of collapse. There are roughly 9,000 federal employees affected by this shutdown within ... Read more

MACDONALD: Another New Hampshire First

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-11-09 12:00 +0000

Barry Laughton has been known within New Hampshire’s political circles for more than a decade. Barry, a Democrat who goes by Stacie, was trans before it was a public mental health crisis. Back in 2012, Laughton won a seat in the NH House and was lauded as the first transgender legislator, perhaps anywhere. Laughton was ... Read more

ROPER: Orange Man Bad (For Down Ticket Republicans)

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-11-09 03:00 +0000

Nothing good to report for Republicans after yesterday’s off-year elections. The gubernatorial candidate in Virginia, who distanced herself from Trump and was not endorsed by him, lost by fifteen points to an “Orange Man Bad” strategy. The psychopath “two bullets and watch his children die is his arms” Attorney General candidate even won, illustrating that ... Read more

MACDONALD: Will The Health Care Industrial Complex Pillage Rural Health Care Funds?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-11-08 22:00 +0000

One of the Democrats’ hostage demands is the repeal of fifty billion earmarked for improving rural healthcare. For all their focus on this stand being about healthcare, the media should be asking a lot more questions about why they oppose this. The Big Beautiful bill cut funding for non-citizens and added funding to improve care ... Read more

CARDELLO: We Are Willing Pawns in Islam’s Long Game

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-11-08 19:00 +0000

Americans are used to a fast pace. We are basically an impatient breed and expect instantaneous results from a plan, or think the effort is a failure. Look at inflation as an example. It took Biden a couple of years to drive the overall cost of living to historic highs, yet Trump was deemed a ... Read more

MACDONALD: Pregnant People Problems

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-11-08 17:00 +0000

Watching Vermont spiral in the blue toilet water is not enjoyable. Sure, it is a TRE, and when the legislature is in session, we get a lot of low-hanging fruit. It is sad to observe the real-time decline and fall of a state founded by a rebel militia that fought against big government tyranny. Vermont ... Read more

OPINION: Viewpoint Discrimination on Campus: Why The XX Bow Free Speech Case is SO Important

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-11-08 15:00 +0000

Do schools have a right or an obligation to control a particular narrative on school grounds? Can they control what messages everyone can express on campus? What if it hurts someone’s feelings? What if it makes them uncomfortable? How much responsibility does the school have in controlling a particular message? What if the message is ... Read more

MACDONALD: The Big Flashlight on Failure

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-11-08 12:00 +0000

Losing high-profile elections that mean almost nothing to me is a gift. Low-hanging fruit for left-wing dummies who grasp at it in desperation, only to discover it’s rotten. Every Democrat who won last Tuesday is a poster child for why Donald Trump won last November. They got a Jew-Hating Islamist Marxist who peddled every utopian ... Read more

Imani: The Terrorist Bill of Rights

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-11-08 03:00 +0000

The Constitution of the United States is one of the most glorious documents promoting individual liberty ever written. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is also the first section of the Bill of Rights. It is arguably the most important part of the U.S. Constitution. It reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of ... Read more

Understanding Medication-Assisted Treatment and Why It’s a Valid Path to Recovery

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-11-07 22:06 +0000

For many people considering treatment for substance use disorders, the idea of using medication as part of recovery can feel confusing or even contradictory. Questions arise: Isn’t the goal to get off all substances? Doesn’t using medication mean you’re just replacing one drug with another? These concerns are understandable, but they’re often rooted in outdated ... Read more

SMITH: Is NH Safe From a Future Governor Ruais?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-11-07 22:00 +0000

While Jay Ruais and the uniparty establishment elite are still reveling in his recent reelection, I’m here to rain on his parade because he’s clearly a captain who’s not a team player.  He sabotaged “Team Red” in Manchester, and that cost his city their best alderman and their Ward 1 seat.  There’s plenty of “Picklegate” ...
