Opinion: Congressional Cowardice

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-06-01 10:00 +0000
Once again, Congress has given in to terror-supporting organizations by stripping Section 112209 from President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which would have amended the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to terminate the tax-exempt status of terrorist supporting organizations. This action took place during the third weekend of May 2025. In a 17-16 vote, with ... Read more

Smith: Genuflecting at Altars of Political Superiority

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-05-31 22:00 +0000
Bullying happens at the state house.  There’s so much of it that it should be renamed Fairgrounds School, known locally as the host of the Ward 6 polls and by WMUR as the Nashua epicenter of bullying. Legislator scorecards are a toned-down version of bullying in the sense that they’re carrots on a stick for ... Read more

Opinion: Your Drink and You!

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-05-31 18:00 +0000
YEESH, my fellow statespeople once again embarrass me. The legislature passed HB 81, allowing grown adults to take their beer and martinis with them to the restrooms.  Odd?  And you ask why?  It’s so nobody can put a drug into the drink when you’re not there.   This is an idiotic bill:  our legislators are ...

Ortolano: When the Response Proves the Point – How Officials Validate Concerns by Discrediting Dissent

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-05-31 16:00 +0000
Last Thursday, the Union Leader published an op-ed warning about a troubling trend: the politicization of public participation in Nashua. I argued that our city’s leaders—by labeling dissenting voices as “mayor haters” or dismissing ethics complaints as “just politics”—were creating a culture that silences civic dialogue. One day later, Alderman Derek Thibeault responded—not with reflection, but ...

Klar: The Beginning of the End of Sanctuary Cities?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-05-31 14:00 +0000
New Hampshire lawmakers have passed legislation that will prohibit cities from adopting policies that signal they are sanctuary destinations for illegal immigrants. Such “sanctuary cities,” which proclaim they will not prosecute illegals or cooperate with federal agents who do, are popular in New England, sometimes attracting the wrong kind of tourist.

MacDonald: Free Speech Brute Force Diplomacy

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-05-31 12:00 +0000
We should have seen this coming. A mere 25 days after the Inauguration, Vice President JD Vance went to Munich to convey a few key messages. Things that made some in the EU cry. To ensure freedom, Western “democracies” needed to protect free and open public discourse, and the EU is “disappointing” history. Vance spoke ... Read more
