As you folks already know or remember, last October, we had our first Groktoberfest for Conservatarian (Conservative & Libertarian) activists to do what political folks do – yak, eat, shoot some guns (‘natch – held at the Londonderry Fish and Game club), and listen to a few people tell us their stories…

“Why Do You Do This Stuff?” – With Ken Eyring and Tom Murray Part 1/3
Ken and Tom founded the Government Integrity Project a number of years ago. Their mission, along with their supporters, is to find out where Government is not playing with a straight deck. We’ve all known about the “Good ole’ boys” networks that can run small towns, the larger cities with their Tammany Hall political machines, … Read more
Night Cap: “What is the most important thing that GraniteGrok has brought to NH?”
A wee bit late in coming – yes! Last October, we had our first Groktoberfest. A time for Conservatarian (Conservative & Libertarian) activists to come together to yak, eat, and listen to a few people tell us their stories (and raise some money).
Wannabe Live Free or Die – Becky Whitley Made It Real Clear Who Will Be Giving Her Marching Orders, Eh?
Grokster Ed’d in March, pointed out how WMUR’s Political Director Adam Sexton believed it was “interesting” when NH State Senator Becky Whitley had a hissy fit when someone said something that broke her Narrative concerning the use of the perfectly legal and applicable phrase “illegal alien.”
DCYF Double Jeopardy: We’ll Just Ignore That The Judge Canceled Our Case…
“They keep on dragging me back in…” Last week, I reported here (“Night Cap: DCYF Court Case Got “Judge Canceled””) that “the Judge” canceled DCYF:
From Whence did Transgenderism Spring?
Why transgenderism? Simple – a political process to trash heteronormativity and eliminate the difference between men and women, and undermine traditional values to forward socialism and a new way of being.
State AGs Fight Back Against Feds Requiring Foster Parents To Be “Transgender Affirming”
If you want to open your hearts and homes to kids that life has given a bad hand, you WILL be required to accept what the Biden administration and Democrats establishment’s State Religion: Transgenderism.
Night Cap: DCYF Court Case Got “Judge Canceled”
Yes, I am still in “semi-retirement” and not writing much, having to take care of TMEW, the Grandson, and the Granddaughter’s needs in a variety of very time-consuming ways. However, I am quite happy to report that one of “Life’s familial responsibilities” has just come to a good end:
Shot Across The Bow – Will NH DCYF Take a Knee To The Biden Administration?
I already FOUGHT this battle – NOW I may have to do it again? Crikey! After founding and running GraniteGrok for 17 and a half years, hardly a month has gone by since I announced my [semi-] retirement, yet I find myself at the keyboard again over this nonsense. ”
Promoted From the Comments – Grokster Ian Has Thoughts on “Want School Systems That Work?”
He’s always a font of opinion and ideas, that one. I may not always agree but once again, he does bring up some that most of us would never have thought. That is pure Ian – always arriving at viewpoints that just come out of nowhere but still, after all these years, make my head hurt (this one, just a little).
Back in August, Steve Counseled This: “If You Support Mike Pence You Should Maybe, Probably Stop …”. And?
Back in August, Steve counseled this: “If You Support Mike Pence, You Should Maybe, Probably Stop …“. Me, too, by the way. The result? Too many of you listened, heard, and took that advice (heh!).
I Can’t Say That I Wouldn’t Have Had the Same Thought Myself …
You’d consider this an outright challenge, yes? It’s just begging you to try it. And this may be one of the reasons why TMEW has never entertained the idea of letting me get a motorcycle.
How the AR-15 Divided a Nation – Seriously?
Boston University Keeps sending me “Bostonia,” which touts itself as being THE Alumni magazine of BU. Forty years later, I still have no idea how they found me up here in NH (never gave them my address); they keep sending me this rag.
Tucker Carlson: President Trump Is Not the Cause of Failed Government; He Is Our Response to It.
I have not yet picked a candidate for President. For me, I am really late in doing so but I just haven’t had the bandwidth to “go after them”, to meet them, to interrogate them, and make them prove their case to me that they best represent what I believe in and are demanding of … Read more
Want School Systems That Work?
If you want school systems that work, start by getting rid of teachers’ unions. They are a Special Interest racket to enrich adults and do not better the educational system for the benefit of kids. Doubt me?
Some “Inconvenient” Background History Hamas Doesn’t Want You to Know
While I haven’t been writing as much as I have wanted, I’m still surfing, and the dastardly attack by Hamas on Israel has taken the oxygen out of the blogosphere’s room. And, post-attack, Hamas and the Palestinians are trying to make the progressive case for Critical Race Theory – that the Hamas attackers are really just the victims.
“Free Speech… That Extraordinary Thing We Have That Muslim Countries Don’t.”
What, you haven’t already figured this out? How can you NOT be paying attention if you love your children? “Free speech… that extraordinary thing we have that Muslim countries don’t.”

An Amplification of What Steve Said, About Political Power
While Steve said a number of things that are absolutely true in his post “At Least One Person Was Not Happy to See Me at the NHGOP Leadership Summit,” this one is the nugget, IMHO, that should stick with you.
And Y’all Want Joyce Craig in Charge of This?
A quick snippet from the UL’s Landrigan (Reformatted, emphasis mine): …Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut’s term comes up a few months after the next governor takes office, which would give a Democrat the chance to quickly transition to new leadership.
