Attention Dems: 2024 Wants Its Failed Messaging Back

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-01-29 15:00 +0000
It is getting old and insulting for folks like Joy Reid to continue to call President Donald Trump Hitler or a Nazi and to lump all of his supporters into that same basket. I am not going to name the ignorant talking heads at MSNBC or CNN that are referring to ICE activities as Gestapo-like ... Read more

If NH Republicans Don’t Want to Get Wiped Out In 2026

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-01-29 13:00 +0000

But that is not why I have gathered you here ... Read more

Replacing “It’s Not a Carbon Tax” with “It’s a Carbon Tax”

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-01-29 11:00 +0000
Okay, we have established that the Clean Heat Standard is an unnecessarily costly, unnecessarily complicated, ruthlessly regressive, unworkable word salad of legal confusion. But, hey, at least, so bleated its supporters incessantly for three plus years, it wasn’t/isn’t a tax, fee, surcharge on home heating fuel, right? So, what’s are the options for moving forward ...

Thomas Jefferson’s First Inaugural: Timeless Blueprint for the Constitution

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-01-29 03:00 +0000
Peace, freedom, the 10th Amendment, and the elimination of taxes: These are just a few of the principles Thomas Jefferson outlined in his first inaugural address. They weren’t mere policy suggestions, they represent timeless and revolutionary declarations against the status quo of government power and control. Delivered on March 4, 1801, Jefferson’s first inaugural address remains a ... Read more

Vote Stealers Convicted

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-28 21:00 +0000
Last fall, we reported on the shenanigans of Lisa and Joshua Urovitch. The Massachusetts residents got caught voting from a rental property address in Concord, New Hampshire. While they owned the property, they were not living in it, they just pretended to futz with New Hampshire Elections in 2022 and 2020. New Hampshire’s keystone cops ... Read more

A Vermont Political Celebration?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-28 20:00 +0000
For my Vermont readers, I wish to invite you to attend a unique opportunity to gather and celebrate Vermont’s conservative political gains in the 2024 state elections. We live in times when many quite openly support a one-party political domination both in Vermont and nationally. I’m a big fan of hearing at least two sides ... Read more

Conservation – of Thinking?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-28 19:00 +0000
I have nothing against labor-saving devices.  However, I don’t include “thinking” as labor that should be saved. Back in the ‘70s, pocket calculators were a new thing.  Everybody got one.  And then we raised a generation of children who could not add 2 and 2 without a calculator.  There is a world of difference between ...

Stop ‘Feeding’ the Angry Ed Gods

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-28 17:00 +0000
There is no connection between money and academic outcomes unless you mean that kids can learn more for a lot less – there is a lot of evidence for that. But the Ed god behemoth demands to be fed, and those who benefit politically from this arrangement insist the answer is more. Always more. They ... Read more

Your State House 1/24/2025

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-28 16:00 +0000
This week, my committee continued hearings on our bills. My HB 216 would end the arbitrary limit of one year’s time on workers comp that can apply towards one’s pension service. No opposition, and the pensions system’s cost estimate was extremely conservative: 10% of all members to gain 6 months additional service credit! Since one ... Read more

Is It Time To Hand Your Child Over to the State/Public Schools?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-28 15:00 +0000
It seems that the State has decided that they need to move mental and medical clinics into your child’s school. Why even parent your children? It appears as if the State, in conjunction with school officials, will happily take over your job. There is no need to take your child to see their doctor during ... Read more

Trump Shuts Down DC Laundromat: Every Grant or Loan To Be Reviewed

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-28 13:00 +0000
The machine that turns the fruits of your great-grandchildren’s yet-unearned income into grift (plus interest) for the deep state machine got some bad news. The new Sheriff wants to put a hold on things just in case the previous “sheriff” was a bit too fast and loose with those future “earnings.” As in, 36 Trillion ... Read more

Meta’s Free Speech Makeover And The Fight For Digital Free Speech

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-28 11:00 +0000
Two weeks ago, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced changes to Facebook and Instagram’s content moderation policies in order to return these platforms to their “roots around free expression.” Meta will eliminate restrictions on debate around controversial topics like immigration and gender identity, dramatically reduce the use of automatic moderation, and replace fact-checkers with Community Notes.  These are ...

Did Trump Halt Aid to Ukraine?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-28 03:00 +0000
There were a number of “headlines” in the US media claiming all foreign aid was stopped—except for Israel and Egypt. But the Pentagon weighed in denying that it affects Ukraine: “A Pentagon official confirmed that Trump’s executive order freezing foreign aid applies only to development programs, not security assistance to Ukraine.” -VOA When I spoke with ...

Free Our Energy Sector From Crippling Regulations and Inflationary Spending on So-Called “Green Energy”

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-27 23:00 +0000
President Donald Trump now has a second opportunity to free the U.S. energy industry from unnecessary and expensive regulations, including oppressive, senseless caps that jeopardize our energy independence and give advantage to foreign markets.   Change is much needed, especially since Joe Biden has overturned three-quarters of Trump’s deregulatory actions that prioritized American energy independence and natural resources. ...
