Cardello: Maine Government Is High On Power And Control

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-06-20 18:00 +0000
To put things in perspective, seven cities in the United States have a greater population than the state of Maine, yet the state legislature is in session, basically working around the clock, to vote on over 1,200 bills for this fiscal year. That is a difficult concept to grasp. For a state of 1.4 million ... Read more

MacDonald: Kings, No? Slaves, Yes!

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-06-20 11:00 +0000
Last Saturday, the ignorant and their keepers executed an impressive display. Tens of thousands, reportedly, turned out in opposition to a constitutionally elected president because they wanted the other candidate. Styled as a resistance to tyranny, the assembled zombies marched, chanted, and waved signs; debates about how many were paid to do so are interesting ... Read more

Klar: Divorce Is Hardest on the Very Young, Study Shows

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-06-20 02:00 +0000
A May 2025 report titled “Divorce, Family Arrangements, and Children’s Adult Outcomes” concluded that children aged five or younger suffer more severe and long-lasting impacts when their parents divorce than older siblings.

America’s Choice: National Divorce or Civil War

The Liberty Block - Thu, 2025-06-19 23:40 +0000

The current political structure of the United States is not viable long-term. Put simply, there are far too many differences existing among the numerous varieties of peoples who make up America to have them all ruled from one central authority. The same scenario exists in many states within the American union as well. These differences, when tied in with the centralized power structure of federal and state governments - along with a “one-size-fits-all” mentality prevalent among those either holding or seeking power - have led to an extremely volatile situation nation-wide.

The post America’s Choice: National Divorce or Civil War appeared first on The Liberty Block.

Shurtleff: Upsetting the Education Mafia

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-19 21:00 +0000
My late friend and mentor, Sam Blumenfeld, once remarked that the government school system is a “sick, obsolete dinosaur being propped up by powerful lobbyists like the National Education Association and government officials.”  The truth of that statement was on full display recently at the Wolfeboro Library. On June 10th, New Hampshire Education Options held ... Read more

Chemical-Drenched Corn is Not MAHA-Friendly

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-19 18:00 +0000
The MAHA movement has brought food quality, human health, and regenerative farming to the attention of conservatives. Yet articles from across the political spectrum still slander organic, small-scale farming operations as deleterious to the environment and claim that GMO-cropping and factory farms are salutary for American consumers and the world. This isn’t true. Granted, I’m ... Read more

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-19 16:00 +0000
Has the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals taken notice? Congress is working to include Second Amendment protections in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. One of them is the Hearing Protection Act (H.R. 404), which addresses the excessive, and some would argue unconstitutional, taxation and regulation of suppressors. Little bird, little bird.

Lemiska: Reconstituting the Democrat Party – A Proposed Six-Point Plan

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-19 14:00 +0000
It’s no secret that, at 27 percent approval rating, the Democrat Party is desperate to repair some of the damage it suffered during the Biden Administration. Many Democrats see the writing on the wall and are abandoning the party in droves. Even the former press secretary, who just a few months ago was staunchly defending ... Read more

MacDonald: UK Grooming Gangs, Sort of, Yeah, Well, I Guess – Maybe

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-06-19 11:00 +0000
One of the fun things about the political establishment and its influencers in the press is that sometimes the weight or momentum of something becomes so tremendous that they have to acknowledge it. What was peddled as tin-foil-hattery by partisan scolds is dragged out into the daylight—the red-headed stepchild, center stage, almost impossible to miss. ... Read more

Bowman: Unnecessary Intrigues

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-06-18 21:00 +0000
What has America gained by veering away from the Father of our Country’s practical non-interventionist course?  There’s no doubt that our young nation had enough to establish itself at home rather than becoming involved with Europe’s infamous intrigue.  Time mixed with Europe’s inescapable drama has confirmed George Washington’s sound judgment.  Now, consider the contrast between ...

Breaking: States Can Ban Transgender Transition Treatments on Minors

The Nation’s highest court has ruled today that the 14th Amendment does not prohibit states from banning transgender transition treatments on minors.
