Trump Bans COVID-Vax Mandates in All US Schools That Take Fed Money

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-15 13:00 +0000
The Executive Order Trump Train hasn’t lost any momentum even as we near the one-month mark in office. As an aside, anyone who was wondering what might happen in the first 100 days is curious as to whether he can keep this up for 100 days. By “keep up,” I mean what could be next. ... Read more

Leftist Doesn’t Know What A Fascist Is – Part 2

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-15 11:00 +0000
In Part 1, I talked about actions you could take if someone on the Left calls you a Fascist. A vile term meant to stop any further conversation because you are evil beyond compare and unworthy of consideration or debate. But when challenged to define Fascism, Stephen Sheehy, who called Trump a Fascist, ghosted further ... Read more

The First Four Housing Reform Bills of 2025

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-15 03:00 +0000
New Hampshire’s housing shortage, and the price spike that it created, has made housing the No. 1 problem facing the state, according to University of New Hampshire polling. Fixing the state’s housing shortage is such a priority for voters that a 2024 UNH poll found more than 1/3 of voters rating it as the top problem, ... Read more

Granddad’s Democrat Party Is No Longer

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-15 01:00 +0000
We begin by paraphrasing the theory that for every action there’s a reaction. While not intended, this emotional base, which the democrats feed from, is now providing ample validation to Trump’s resounding comeback win. Orators are majestic with their word mastery, but words fail to whitewash the democrat’s complete loss for any political decorum or ... Read more

Tariffs, Borders, Canada, and Fentanyl

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-14 23:00 +0000
So, given the kerfuffle with tariffs with Canada and Mexico, I thought this might be interesting: And given that I’m driving Canadian blogger Lloyd Alter nuts on tariffs (he still has no clue other than “TAX! Betrayal by an ALLY!”, I dropped this at his place as he complained (paraphrased) “very little drugs going over ... Read more

Vermont Tutors Illegal Aliens on How to Slip the Grip of ICE

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-14 19:00 +0000
Progressives create government task force to protect illegals and expose citizens to risks. President Donald Trump has not announced any plans to deport foreigners who are legally in the US. Rather, he’s focusing federal resources solely on protecting Americans from violent offenders. Still, progressive ideologues across the nation have rallied to “protect” people illegally in ...

The Founders’ Forgotten System of Checks and Balances

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-14 15:00 +0000
“There is not a syllable in the constitution, that makes a decision of the judiciary – of its own force, and without regard to its correctness – binding upon any body, either upon the executive, or the people.” That’s from Lysander Spooner, reminding us of an essential, but long-forgotten fundamental principle repeatedly affirmed by the ...

So, Your Online Testimony … Doesn’t Really Count

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-14 13:00 +0000
A few days ago, we reported on what we thought was “an issue” with the New Hampshire legislature’s online reporting portal. The Granite State lets you “sign-in” to the legislature’s website to show support or opposition to a bill and even provide written testimony. This was adopted (presumably) because a lot of people can’t be ... Read more

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (2/13/25)?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-14 11:15 +0000
Today we began the day with a joint legislative session with the Senate to hear the Governor’s budget presentation. We learned that the Governor delivered to the House and Senate a budget that allocates more money to education and communities, contains no new tax increases, and focuses on the housing crisis and supports law enforcement. ...

Vindaloo Bugaboo (VB) and I join forces against the array of squishies, socialists, and environmentalists at Carbon Upfront. What we haven’t succeeded in doing is instructing them that they can mandate anything they want when it comes to how people are to live but that they will receive a lot of pushback – by politics ...

Defending Free Speech in America

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-14 03:00 +0000
President Donald Trump let fly a flurry of executive orders in his first week as president. Among those was a reaffirmation of the US Constitution’s First Amendment prohibitions against government regulation of Americans’ liberties to speak and communicate free of government censorship. Volumes of evidence now point to blatant violations of this vital constitutional restraint ... Read more

Mainstream “Journalism” Strikes Again

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-02-14 01:00 +0000
The gaslighting never seems to stop. But then, again, USAID money? They just can’t seem to figure out why the public’s view of them is lower than whale snot. With this shot, it shows they have little to no self-awareness that they keep making their feet look like Swiss cheese? One would normally think that ... Read more

Double Queen Sharon’s Pleasure

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-02-13 23:00 +0000
Remember that old 70s commercial for Wrigley’s Doublemint gum?  It would say “double your pleasure.”  Voting the wrong way on HB238 is one way to pleasure the old battle axe, and 25 Rs just voted to indefinitely postpone the Right to Work bill. Keeping in mind that Queen Sharon (Carson) is also an enemy of ... Read more

When Addiction Looks Like a Love Story: The Hidden Battles Women Face

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-02-13 22:14 +0000
Addiction wears many faces, but for women, it often disguises itself as something softer—something that looks less like destruction and more like devotion. It doesn’t announce itself with the reckless abandon of a binge or the obvious spiral of withdrawal. Instead, it seeps into the everyday, hiding in routines, relationships, and roles that feel impossible ... Read more

Yes, Virginia, There Is a ‘Constitutional Crisis’

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-02-13 21:00 +0000
On September 21st, 1897, The Sun – a New York newspaper – published an editorial by Francis Pharcellus Church. In it, he assured 8-year-old Virgina O’Hanlon that there was a Santa Claus. In 1897, Philip O’Hanlon, a surgeon, was asked by his eight-year-old daughter, Virginia O’Hanlon, whether Santa Claus existed. His answer did not convince her, and Virginia ... Read more

There are some mornings in which thoughts and ideas come flying by with the ease and grace of a flock of geese flying south for the winter.  On this day before Lincoln’s birthday, this is the right time for printing such high flying thoughts. At this three-week point in Trump’s second term, the democrats have ... Read more
