Howard Dean made news the other day when he reminded Vermonters he was still alive. The dude is bumping up against the actuarial tables at 76, after all, and anyone born the last year Dean held public office is now of legal age to drink, which would come in handy if the increasingly radicalized Leftist … Read more
Word is definitely afoot that Socialist Bernie (who tried to sweep the Dems off their feet in the Prez Primary again) is actively looking to be Biden’s Secretary of Labor. Can you see the havoc that could cause?
The pressure across New England to engage in useless virtue-signaling grows. Vermont Governor Phil Scott has introduced a statewide order mandating masks in public. To slow the spread, don’t you know.
If you had not noticed, I have recently taken an interest in the trials and tribulations of my Republican brothers and sisters trapped in Vermont. GraniteGrok has a bit of reach, and I’d like to use that to help them get their voice out. To that end, Gov. Phil Scott has endorsed Bill Weld. Yuck!
Don’t get too excited by the title. I’m not saying Sununu is Reagan. I’m saying that Vermont’s ‘republican’ governor should be kicked out of the Republican party. And not just because he just bought in on impeaching the president.
Sundays are usually a day of rest and a time to, if one uses it to reflect on the goodness of God, escape the ubiquitous bad-mouthing of our fellow citizens. Today in the progressive strong-hold of South Burlington Nikki Haley was visiting Vermonters willing to entertain the idea she still has a chance against Republican … Read more
Democrats famously walked out of a session of the NH House when a Republican began reading smut from a book they want to be left in public schools. Books that include drug and alcohol abuse, suicidal ideation, and adult-child sex. If they aren’t groomers or abetting the practice, what then is this?
There are plenty of believers, philosophers, and ordinary people with minds greater than mine who can speak to the merits of forgiveness. Holding a grudge is burdensome. Having lived it, I can speak from experience that it’s a curse, but there’s a less recognized attribute within that. That blessing or curse, depending on how one … Read more
Well, I do have to admit, the Concord Monitor does get a large diversity of commenters on posts sometimes. No, not the skin-color-deep-facial-features kind of diversity where only looks count. I mean the only diversity that really counts – intellectual and philosophical differences. Dick Lemiuex riled up frequent Progressive CM and Grok commenter, Bruce Currie … Read more

Funny, I don’t remember Scott Brown saying this at our meeting: “I was the most bipartisan senator in the United States Senate.” (Scott Brown on Tuesday, March 18th, 2014 in a meeting with Republicans in Portsmouth, N.H.). Remember these numbers: 22%, 46%, 62%. Shaheen votes 99% with the Democrats, Brown votes 62% of the time … Read more
This past Wednesday nite, fellow Grokster Mike and his lovely bride Mar-Mar opened up their home and brought in their friends and family to meet Scott Brown (if you haven’t heard, he may or may not run for US Senator from NH but at least is in the exploratory phase – much to the relief … Read more
Earlier today, Grokster Steve alerted the rest of us that Kathy Sullivan tweeted out my post describing and opining on the talk that Scott Brown gave last Wednesday: 1. Usually don't read Granitegrok but this post on @Senscottbrown house party hate to admit is must read. #nhpolitics http://t.co/VcA8hVAmTL — Kathy Sullivan (@NHKathySullivan) April 2, 2014 … Read more
There have been a number of posts, columns, and interviews regarding Obama’s “you didn’t build that, somebody else did” admission last week, but none that I have seen touch on the origin of such nonsense. From what I can tell, the earliest work that outlines this belief in depth is William Godwin’s “Enquiry Concerning Political … Read more
So, from the last exchange, we see that the Selectmen, a la Occupy Wall Street philosophy, have no problem in targeting a citizen just because they can classify that citizen as “part of the 1%). Certainly, we see this emanating from the Oval Office and from the Progressive Caucus in Congress – how DARE the … Read more
Heh. This is great. The mainstream media acts like a pit bull when reporting on Republicans, but becomes a miniature poodle for the Democrats. "Roll over, Scott." LOL!

Vermont has just done something hailed by Climateers as groundbreaking and memorialized by The Week with the headline: ‘Vermont becomes first state to make fossil fuel companies pay for climate change.’ Really?
Once Upon a Time, Howard Dean was the governor of Vermont. He ran for president a few cycles back (2004) and was doing well until the infamous scream in Iowa. The young folks loved him, but it flattened his curve, and John Kerry went on to win the party nomination. Dean’s not been idle but … Read more
Democrats in Vermont are like Democrats in New Hampshire, New York, California, and the District of Catastrophe (DC). There’s no such thing as too much spending or too much taxation but for sh! ts and giggles, they like to call it things like tax relief. As in, we’d like to relieve you of more of … Read more
