MacDonald: This is Weird

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-03 21:00 +0000
A group of “protesters” appeared in front of the New Hampshire State House yesterday. Red shirts, black pants, swastika flags, faces covered. You’d expect them to be from NSC-131, the local white supremacy group, and maybe they are, but we’ve got questions. The affiliation of the marchers was not immediately clear Saturday afternoon. Hate groups ... Read more

Klar: Passionate Political Pushback

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-03 18:00 +0000
The attacks against Robert F Kennedy Jr. throughout his campaign for US president and during his nomination for Health and Human Services secretary have not abated. Detractors criticize him personally for a litany of alleged transgressions, in the style of Kennedy Derangement Syndrome (KDS). To counter the slanderous claims about Kennedy’s policies and reach more ... Read more

Obituary: Augusta Petrone

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-03 16:00 +0000
We lost Augusta over the weekend. She was a great encouragement and supporter of what we do here as well as the efforts of so many around New Hampshire. Augusta always made me feel welcome, special, and essential, and she was generous beyond understanding to so many people and causes in New Hampshire and beyond. ... Read more

Roper: Court Decision Highlights Need to Repeal the “Right to Sue”

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-03 14:00 +0000
The Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) contains a provision that gives standing to anyone who wants to sue the state, at taxpayers’ expense, if we fail to meet that law’s unrealistic, unattainable greenhouse gas reduction mandates. It’s known as the “private right of action” clause. The first case brought under the private right of action ... Read more

What to Prepare for Watching Live-Stream Sports Outdoor?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-03 11:11 +0000
Watching live-stream sports in an outdoor setting brings a different kind of energy. Camping by the woods, picnicking in a quiet park, or holding a tailgate party can all make the match feel more lively and enjoyable.  However, the serene outdoor setting alone does not guarantee a good viewing experience. If you do not plan in ... Read more

MacDonald: Alejandro Mayorkas in Chains?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-03 11:00 +0000
Ann Colter’s got a great piece over at Townhall directed at former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. She wants to know why he hasn’t been arrested yet. It’s a fair question, as is “to whose homeland he was actually secretary of,” given his primary mission was to undermine the security of the Homeland. It’s not ... Read more

Opinion: Republican Form of Government 

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-08-03 02:00 +0000
On the last day of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, September 18, 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked by a lady whether the government being proposed for the new nation was to be a Republic or a Monarchy? His now-famous response was, “A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it.” Republics are one of the world’s ... Read more

NH Supreme Court Crisis: Who Will Watch the Watchers?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-02 21:00 +0000
From: A citizen for Transparency in the NH Justice System Our founders designed a government in which no man, however learned or cloaked in robes, would be unanswerable to the people from whom his power is drawn. They did not merely establish courts, but enshrined the expectation of character. If those who sit in judgment ... Read more

MacDonald: Zoning Oligarchs

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-02 18:00 +0000
Odds are good that thanks to all the “liberty” we got this past session in the wake of a slew of zoning bills, my prediction will come to pass. An increase in housing (notice I did not use the word affordable) will have limited practical improvement for some, but a significant net loss for liberty ... Read more

Opinion: How Not to Run a Political Party

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-02 16:00 +0000
It just amazes me how the Democrats do government. First, for a presidential candidate, they figure, let’s run a candidate who was never voted in the Democratic primary and someone who couldn’t manage a chicken coop. And let’s shove the Gay movement down Americans’ throats and trans second graders and fill the school libraries with ... Read more

Cardello: The Presidential Fitness Test Makes A Comeback

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-02 14:00 +0000
We have become a sedate, out-of-shape country that transcends mere inactivity, becoming couch potatoes who stare into our cellphones. With our decrease in activity, we have seen a correlating increase in diabetes, heart issues, and depression. We are not only lazy, but unhealthy, and we need someone to kickstart a change, and along comes President ... Read more

MacDonald: If Borders are Imaginary Lines …

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-02 11:00 +0000
A voiceover of this content is available here. Are you tired of the insane ramblings of watercooler lefties who insist there’s no such thing as an illegal person? That borders are just imaginary lines. And how dare you support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers who kidnap people off the street and confine them without ... Read more

Warner: The Facts About Jeffrey Epstein and Israeli Intelligence

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-08-02 02:00 +0000
Although many people have taken an interest in Jeffrey Epstein’s salacious saga due to his conviction as a child rapist and sex trafficker, as well as his inexplicably mysterious death, the larger question surrounding the man was his apparent ties to Israeli intelligence via the Mossad or military intelligence.  Why?  Because if he was in ...

MacDonald: Breaking – NH Bans Hormone Treatments and Top Surgery for Minors

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-08-01 21:30 +0000
Last year, New Hampshire banned genital gender reassignment surgery. Earlier today, Governor Ayotte signed two bills, HB377 and HB712, that ban hormone treatments on children and top surgery. HB377: “Prohibits the performance of a medical procedure or the prescription or issuance of medication, upon or to a minor child, that is intended to alter the ... Read more

MacDonald: What Heat Wave?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-08-01 21:00 +0000
We’ve had some hot days in my corner of the world, typically two or three in succession, followed by some (to be honest) unseasonably cooler days and nights in the low to mid seventies. It hardly matters what happens. It’s all your fault. But the blamestormers love a prolonged heat wave. Any sort will do, ... Read more

Cardello: AR-15 Kills 4 in NYC

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-08-01 18:00 +0000
Unfortunately, every time we have a senseless shooting, as we did on the streets of New York City, the Democrats go into the same talk track. They blame the gun for the shooting and downplay the shooter (and whatever issues brought them to kill innocent human beings. These people are fools and political mouthpieces who ... Read more

This week the Executive Council unanimously approved Governor Ayotte’s nomination to Commissioner of Education in New Hampshire. Caitlin Davis may not be a name that most people are familiar with. Unlike Frank Edelblut who will be vacating the office, Davis has a different vision for her role as Commissioner. Edelblut ran for Governor in New ... Read more
