You wanted scalps. Accountability. I can’t count how many memes we’ve shared about do-nothing Congress, or when Trump is going to bring us those scalps. You forgot the problem. We’re not Democrats. If you want it to stick, and the system is still against you, the case has to be tight. It can take years, ... Read more

A field report from seven years inside Nashua’s Right-to-Know trenches I’ve filed hundreds of Right-to-Know requests in this city. I’ve sat through more Board of Aldermen meetings than some Aldermen have. I have, at this point, a working knowledge of Nashua’s assessing department, its Trust funds, its Community Development office, the construction and costs of ... Read more

A whole bunch of memes, and then some more.

The title really needed a few more words to capture the entire thought. There are two correct answers to the question, and they fall along Party lines. As we saw in the first Trump term, many of his aides and supporters did jail time, and some of them pleaded guilty to fake charges after being ... Read more

Today, on the morning update, more from fellow ‘Grokster Ian Underwood and his talk on education. The problem is one of doing too much, or so much that you can’t do anything well or, in some cases, at all. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. Ep 245 Links: ...

Here is what a grassroots group of individuals accomplished in just over a year of planning, praying, and following God’s lead. He is faithful, He is trustworthy, and He provides what is needed to complete His plan.  All we need to do is say yes, God, use me.    Saturday, August 1st, was our Pilgrims to ... Read more

What happens when institutions become more interested in protecting themselves than informing the public? Our entry point is the David Morens controversy and troubling questions about government transparency, federally funded research, and the avoidance of public-records laws. This episode follows the deeper pattern—from institutional self-protection to the gradual displacement of individual judgment by centralized authority. ... Read more

Not everyone had time to watch hours of Veto Day livestreaming or archived videos of our legislature, so it’s important for NH dot gov’s webmaster(s) to make records available to the public in a timely, user-friendly way.  Good job, House staff members!  Once the whole body steamrolled Her Excellency with a 314-7 roll call in ...

Before you vote in November, and you will vote (please), you need to understand something. I know, I’ve articulated a long list of things Democrats would do or will do if they get back in control of anything at any level of government. More crime, less enforcement, no detention of foreign criminals, ending fraud investigations- ... Read more

There are only a few possible, feasible explanations for the sudden change in James Carville’s demeanor when someone even whispers DSA. Over the last few months, Carville has been nothing less than apoplectic when anyone suggested that a DSA member was a member of the Democratic Party. Just last week, he was on record saying ...

You can’t always get what you want. Rolling Stones. Also, when searching roughly 60,000 pieces of content on GraniteGrok. You want it, but you can’t get it. But “It’s out there, somewhere.” American Tale (Ronstadt and Ingram). In this case, beneath the pale blue-light glow of your device. And in this case it was. It ... Read more

TL;DR: The NH Attorney General has submitted a 125-page legal brief to defend the State of New Hampshire Executive branch’s position on overturning the NH Supreme Court’s Claremont decision and its progeny. It’s a battle between the Executive and Judicial branch for control over public education. It’s a Statist argument: it does not restore or ... Read more

Vermont Democrats nominated Amanda Janoo as their horse to take on Phil Scott in November’s gubernatorial election, rejecting by a slim margin the putatively more moderate alternative, Aly Richards, and in doing so decided to go – as many in their party have – full-on communist. Though Janoo doesn’t formally claim the Democratic Socialist party ... Read more

Today on the Morning Update, another DSA darling ascends as the Democratic nominee to a general election, this time in Florida, where we hope she has no chance whatsoever. But?

How we, the people, remain free isn’t the easy path. It requires the willingness to self-educate, to accept the mission passed on from the generation before, and to put country first. The words of the Declaration of Independence did not change history; the commitment of the fifty-six signers did. For they all knew, as Ben ... Read more

I know I’ve been beating this donkey-skinned drum for a while, but the difference between the DNC and the DSA can be boiled down to this. Two letters, same priorities, just slightly different trajectories, rapidly approaching the furthest left possible alignment. They both claim to hate the rich, love criminals more than law-abiding citizens, “other” ... Read more

You won’t have had any trouble finding a suitable amount of justified outrage over Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signing the death-at-birth warrant, doing business as the Orwellian-sounding “Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act.” Prioritizing what? I remember when babies were patients, especially in the third trimester, when they are more than capable of surviving outside ... Read more

Nashua taxpayers deserve full transparency, accuracy, and candor from their elected officials. Recent developments, however, raise serious concerns about how Mayor Jim Donchess and the Board of Aldermen are managing the City’s finances, and how residents are being informed about those decisions. The FY2026 budget initially presented to residents totaled $474,895,381. Yet the City now ... Read more
