O’Keeffe: Why Ending the War in Ukraine Is So Difficult Now

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-30 10:00 +0000
As President Trump wrestles to deliver on his campaign promise to end the war on Ukraine by helping to bring about a negotiated peace deal, the effort has, in part, been undermined by an escalating exchange of kamikaze drones by both sides.

DiLorenzo: The American Pravda Sues the Trump Administration

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-05-30 02:00 +0000
In a recent executive order President Trump called for an end to taxpayer funding of NPR and “public” television (PBS), created by Congress in 1967 to laughingly create an “independent” news source.  Yes, they have always been independent of the free market and of the hapless American taxpayers, but certainly not independent of the deep ...

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-29 20:00 +0000
Since the outset of Mayor Donchess’s leadership, our City’s political climate has shifted to destabilize our democracy.

Opinion: Do We Really Need City Managers?

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-29 18:00 +0000
The idea of having a city manager might sound like common sense – someone to handle the day-to-day work of running the city, keeping things organized and professional. That’s why cities like Concord use the “council-manager” system of government. But over 100 years after this model was first introduced, it’s fair to ask: is this ... Read more

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-29 16:00 +0000
Nancy Pelosi Radio (NPR) got its walking papers in early May when the Trump Administration announced cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and instructions that NPR and PBS be defunded, dismantled, even.

If you like stories with intertwining narratives that meld into complex plot twists with a surprise ending, this might be the tale for you, but with a warning.

Cardello: The Left Is Making It Difficult To Coexist

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-05-29 10:00 +0000
The Left loves everybody. The Left is for 100% inclusion, so everyone has an equal outcome in this game of life. The only problem is that the Left despises anyone on the Right. We are pariahs who have become cult members and love the color red and the numbers 45 and 47. So, this becomes ... Read more

The historian Ludwell H. Johnson III argued that “the job of the historian is not to pass judgment, but to try to understand.” By trying to understand the past, historians enrich our cultural heritage and help us to build on the achievements of our predecessors while, hopefully, avoiding their mistakes.

Sometimes the ideas line up in good order and, one by one, arrive at the front of the line to find themselves explored as 600 (ish) word recon ops on these pages.
