Klar: On The Government Funding of Catholic Charter Schools

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 18:00 +0000
Funding schools that prepare citizens for success should be a no-brainer “Some critics of religious charter schools complain that taxpayer dollars shouldn’t fund religious education. But they don’t object to taxpayers being forced to fund the leftist indoctrination that permeates so many government-run schools. Such one-sided complaints show that these critics aren’t concerned for taxpayers ... Read more

The meme enthusiasts have turned the hose on full, so it looks like we will have memes at least twice a week now. Maybe we can go back to three times a week, in which case I’ll need to change the featured image. For now, it’s Friday, so enjoy. . . . . . . ... Read more

Klar: Food Apartheid – The Latest Victimhood Scam

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 14:00 +0000
More propaganda for the rainbow of fake grievances. Despite widespread rejection of the incessant, divisive toxicity of an ever-growing rainbow of perceived grievances, social justice con artists scour the dogmatic universe for more faux causes to fuel their platforms. A recent example is the laughable-if-offensive effort to transform the phrase “food deserts” into “food apartheid.” ... Read more

MacDonald: New Vermont Law Probably Violates Two Constitutions

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 12:00 +0000
Vermont has passed a law that allows the state attorney general to fine pregnancy care centers up to $10,000.00 for “advertising” the AG deems misleading. That’s the intent. Pro-Abortion Democrats passed a muzzle bill in 2023 to intimidate pregnancy care centers to the benefit of abortion clinics, but it didn’t work. Not exactly. It was ... Read more

Sorens: Why Reform Zoning

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 10:00 +0000
Julie Smith recently wrote a piece for Granite Grok about my white paper for AIER entitled “Unbundling Zoning.” She badly misinterpreted the paper, made false accusations, and even got the main thesis exactly backwards. Here’s the proof. Smith: “Sorens calls zoning useless, unjust, and irrational and explains why.” FALSE. These are the claims I’m responding ... Read more

Smith: Hollis Dunkin Donuts

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 02:00 +0000
Hollis Dunkin Donuts is unlike other locations in many ways.  It’s in a repurposed building multiple times its age, it doesn’t have the usual bright orange and pink signs and it doesn’t have a drive-thru despite it being a former site of a bank with one. While I can’t speak intelligently to the finer details ... Read more

This week on GrokTALK!, my guest is…me. Yes, it’s just me. The topic is the rising desire to cajole the mysterious political middle and the rise of the Woke Right.

Bradley: Trump, Kennedy and Oz v. The Pharmaceutical Companies

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-16 00:00 +0000
According to some historians, the Smoot-Howley tariffs caused the Great Depression. Since then, mention of the word “ Tariff” has brought to mind the “SCREAM,” a famous work of art by Edward Munch. The painting reveals a figure on a bridge, holding his head with an expression of anguish and isolation! The Mainstream Media’s (MSM) ... Read more

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-15 20:00 +0000
Leave it to an American Pontif to tell the assembled members of world media that free speech and a free press are not just essential but that it “does not seek consensus at all costs, does not use aggressive words, does not follow the culture of competition, and never separates the search for truth from ...

Bowman: As Originally Required

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-15 18:00 +0000
There was a hidden lesson within Trump’s “too big to rig” rhetoric, which modern-day talkers and experts will never mention for obvious reasons.  Simply stated, it is that unity equals strength and together we can prevail.  Trump’s campaign slogan is an offshoot of our forefathers’ belief that freedom will only prevail when the citizenry is ...
