Granite Grok - Sat, 2026-02-28 12:00 +0000

Did you hear the news? “Moderate” members of the Taliban, when not polishing the military hardware Joe left them for sale to our enemies (like China) so they can reverse engineer it, just made a progressive leap that has to have Dems dancing with people in inflated frog costumes.

In his essay on “Right Wing Populism” Murray Rothbard proposed to build a political coalition to overcome one of the main obstacles faced by liberty movements at election time, namely, the problem that “the numbers simply weren’t there.” Building a popular coalition would address the numbers problem by uniting those who share political goals in common, even ...

Welcome to my ongoing review of questions challenging my “journalistic integrity” (except I’m not a journalist), in which I use their challenge to challenge theirs right back.  NewsGuard doesn’t guard news, as we all know, proven in real time by these posts showing what they ask me and my response.

KLAR: Biden Sabotaged Efforts to Stanch Flood of Illegal Immigration

Granite Grok - Fri, 2026-02-27 03:00 +0000

It now seems the incessant rancor and disorder surrounding alleged ICE abuses might be a deflection to shift attention away from the core problem of illegal immigration and how it was openly encouraged under President Joe Biden’s administration. Recent statements by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama advocating for temperance in immigration policies signal Democrats may ... Read more

With town elections less than two weeks away in most communities, it’s a good time to remind everyone of the Students First Act, originally known as SB219 and later codified in HB1265.  It was quietly signed by the Damn Emperor two summers ago and is now RSA 189:76. However, like some of those election security reform bills, ...
