Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-12-01 15:00 +0000
“Self-defense is a primary law of nature, which no subsequent law of society can abolish.”  That’s how the great Mercy Otis Warren put it. But this wasn’t just a philosophical view for the Founders and Old Revolutionaries. They knew an armed society was essential to preserving liberty – because they lived it firsthand. In fact, it was one ... Read more

Abortion Bans Could Reverse Decline in Teen Births?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-12-01 13:00 +0000
Curating content can lead to exciting discoveries, like this story from the left-wing-funded States Newsroom. I found it shared in the Vermont Daily Chronicle. No worries, they aren’t part of States Newsroom, though I suspect Vermont has a site somewhere. (Locally, it is the NH Bulletin). These sites engineer narratives with headlines and content written ... Read more

Why Commies Hate Your Thanksgiving Dinner

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-12-01 03:00 +0000
The Thanksgiving holiday in the United States has a checkered past. Its more recent origins lie largely in government attempts at pushing propagandistic narratives. For example, Abraham Lincoln demanded Americans be thankful for ”the advancing armies and navies of the Union” during the Civil War. George Washington instructed Americans to give thanks for the new constitution in ... Read more

A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-12-01 01:00 +0000
I appreciate Ian Underwood addressing a quote in my 11/23 article, “Make America States Again.”  “I’m just responding to this from the article: Our Constitutional Republic structure, called Federalism, was wisely summed up by James Madison: The powers of the federal government are few and defined, while the states have unlimited powers. ‘I find it ...

The Sermon That Laid the Groundwork for the American Revolution

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-11-30 23:00 +0000
“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”  Just after the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776, a committee of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin worked to design a great seal for the United States – and it included that powerful phrase on the reverse.  While we don’t know who originally wrote it, ...

Strange Justice for Jussie Smollett

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-11-30 21:00 +0000
Jussie Smollett has repeatedly seeded controversy in the years-long drama of his battle with the Illinois criminal justice system. His narcissistic journey began when he hired two actors to pretend to attack him, and it ended Thursday, November 21, when the Illinois Supreme Court reversed his criminal convictions for doing so. Smollett continues to claim ... Read more

More Bad News for DEI

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-11-30 17:00 +0000
The University of Michigan Board of Regents has expressed concern over how, to borrow a term, safe and effective its DEI program has been. Much like the pharmacological “answer” to the Wuhan flu, the investment in betterment promised by the flying Diversity and Inclusion monkeys is not living up to its glossy tri-fold pamphlet promises. ...

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-11-30 15:00 +0000
When the first Congress met at Federal Hall in New York City in 1789, there were three days in September that saw a telling sequence of events.

Is It Racist to Call Thai Scientists Climate Deniers?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-11-30 13:00 +0000
The political left is notorious for its hypocrisy. They claim to be all about inclusion and diversity, but politics is the only thing that matters. If yours are wrong, none of the things listed in every anti-discrimination law will protect you from their wrath. Age, sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, skin color, origin, or occupation ...

Eleven Weeks is Nine Too Many

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-11-30 11:00 +0000
Currently, there is a delay of about 11 weeks between the time a Presidential election is concluded, and the time a new President is inaugurated. If recent events have taught us anything, it’s that this interval is at least nine weeks too long.  Eleven weeks, apparently, is enough time for a lame duck President (or ... Read more

President-elect Trump has nominated former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education. President-elect Trump promised that, if confirmed, Mrs. McMahon would “spearhead” the effort to “send education back to the states.” This has led some people to wonder if Linda McMahon may be the last Secretary of Education.

What “enshittification” Really Means

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-11-30 01:00 +0000
Sometimes, words take on new meanings, and in other instances, meanings are thrust upon them. Some words have several meanings, like, say ‘Fly.’ It is a mode of transportation, a bothersome insect, and an important part of your apparel (pants in particular). I can’t speak any other language, but English has its fair share of ... Read more

When he returns to the White House early next year, President-elect Donald Trump plans to appoint Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head a new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

Thankfully, this story will likely be published on Black Friday and not the day before. We wouldn’t want to give you indigestion, though that may be beyond our ability to control.
