Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-26 02:00 +0000
A new study suggests vegetarians may be “less benevolent” than meat eaters. This may seem counterintuitive, given that among the chief motivations for giving up meat are concern for animal welfare and the environment.

MacDonald: Warming and CO2 are Essential to Life on Earth

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-06-25 02:00 +0000
It reached 100 degrees in New Hampshire’s largest city today. It’s no surprise that the spot with the most asphalt and concrete was slightly warmer than the rest. It’s the largest heat island in the state, but if you dare suggest that these urban encroachments have corrupted the temperature data, you’ll get a good talking ... Read more

In the late 80s, I had a boss who made us keep the radio on Oldies 103.  As a young adult at the time, I had little appreciation for the genre of music popular when my parents were that age.  However, I have since acquired a taste for it and a good memory of those ... Read more

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-06-24 14:00 +0000
The Democrats lost the war in November and also lost their way. They surrendered the White House and Senate, giving the Republicans full, though slim, control of the ship. They are experiencing their worst approval ratings in history, yet this leaderless bunch refuses to step back and realign with the American people. It is sadistically ... Read more

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-06-24 11:00 +0000
The Left is broken, which is sort of ironic. Democrat Socialism, which is the foundation of Marxism by its founders’ own admission, breaks everything to get from wherever you are to the Communist utopia. This is known, but many on the left don’t know it. They hear promises and imagine injustices righted, but the virtue ... Read more
