And a “DILLY, DILLY!” from this teetotaler for putting one over on the Democrats! For immediate release: (Concord, NH) (emphasis mine): Last week hidden behind the hoopla of the passage of the last straw law, the #beercaucus singlehandedly made life for all NH Citizens better by repealing RSA 178:26, the tax on the sale of beer. In a completely … Read more

While we “write about what amuses us”, we certainly appreciate that you think that what we think is important enough to write is also important enough to you to the point that you’re willing to donate to keep GraniteGrok going and … Read more
How do I know? She told me to my face what she thinks of me. Again, back to today’s Blogline of the Day. SHOT: “We are committed to policies that make American lives better and we’re actually talking about something substantive, we’re not calling anyone names. CHASER: People say ‘Tea Party of the left’ and … Read more
“Listening to Trump’s pitch, I felt it was so upbeat, so admiring and praising of people who usually hear that they’re washed up and pathetic.” And the Democrats are openly derisive of us, too. While Obama (“bitter clingers”) and Hillary (“deplorables, irredeemables”) openly called we who oppose them politically and culturally, many don’t SAY it … Read more
Consider this scenario: Say a million of us have gardens; instead of spending our money to maintain our gardens, we are forced to give that money to the government so that it can decide how the money should be spent on our gardens. Ridiculous, right? We know that most of our gardens would be less … Read more
I don’t live in Manchester so I don’t have a dog in this fight. Perhaps. But this would make things rather interesting. Last race was Ted Gatsas (a moderate R) versus Joyce Craig (unabashed Progressive). Old white guy vs young white gal. The nuances were there. This, if it turns out, turns it into a … Read more
GraniteGrok was there at the Granite State Taxpayer’s NH Advantage Rally yesterday. It was important, it was a Conservative event. We covered it; we’ve got some video up already – and a little bit more to do as well. It’s what we do. So, I decided to do a thought experiment. If just “showing up” was important … Read more
How Democrats voted, through March 20, 2019 To set the stage, these from my post “Progressives and The Proper Role of Government – and your subservience to it“: Referencing the new law criminalizing the use of plastic straws, Councilman Jesse Dominguez said, “Unfortunately, common sense is just not common. We have to regulate every aspect of people’s … Read more
As he said, he’s waited 20 years of fighting voter fraud here in NH. He’s put in the paperwork and now the ACLU has until the end of the month to respond. What’s the purpose – a process of discovery. Listen for yourself and if you have been following Ed during his journey, you can … Read more
And Veep Pence throws it back at him. SHOT: Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday appeared on MSNBC, where host Ari Melber asked him: “There is a lot of talk about America being a leader as a democracy, quote unquote, in the 1800s when women and African-Americans couldn’t vote. What kind of democracy is that?” … Read more
With its utopian quest for a society cleansed of all traces of bias or inequality and its politicization of everything from art to family life, social-justice leftism is in some ways the modern heir to 20th-century communism. While it does not command totalitarian regimes, its effect on Western liberal institutions — especially the media and … Read more
Gov. Sununu was not the only speaker that got recorded. Kimberly Morin (President of the Womens’ Defense League of NH, Grokster, and NH’s ndefatigable Tweeter who constantly is driving the Left absolutely bananas) was actually the first speaker. If you’ve ever heard her before, today’s speech by Kimberly will not disappoint! Gun Rights, womens’ rights, … Read more
The message that the House and the Senate want to send to the Governor is “we are with you Governor! On all your vetoes, Governor, we’re going to stand with you!” The Granite State Taxpayers held a rally today at the State House (Concord, NH) – Speakers included Ray Chadwick (Chair, GST), NH State Rep … Read more
Scroll down for newer posts. I’ve been AWOL lately from writing in trying to get some “behind the scenes” stuff done – apologies. I have another bleg (an “ask”) of you, our loyal readers and it is pure Capitalistic, kinda. Well, two of them sorta aren’t and one, voluntarily, is…
HB564 – relative to possession of firearms in safe school zones. Vote was 12-8 for Ought to Pass. Democrats deciding again to kill the Second Amendment by the death of a thousand Legislative cuts. HB696 – establishing a protective order for vulnerable adults. Vote was 12-8 for Ought to Pass. Democrats deciding again to kill the Second … Read more
When: March 27, 2019 @ 6:00 pm – 8:45 pm Where: Murphy’s Taproom, 494 Elm Street, Manchester NH Great turnout for our last Grokmeetup at Concord’s Area 23 Pub and I’m hoping to see more of you for a time of fellowship and all kinds of banter. I’m also hoping to do an “Ask the Groksters” … Read more
UPDATE: Several people have now told me that he is a Democrat “tracker” with American Bridge – a “gotcha operation” that was started by David Brock and it is only focused on Republicans and Conservatives. I guess my three years “off the circuit” ended up with a replacement for the guy we outed years ago. … Read more
Yesterday the NH House’s Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee held a hearing on HB564 – a bill dealing with firearms in “safe” school zones in which the same Democrat politicians that believe that merely putting up a new law and a sign will actually make schools and children safer. Yes, attaching the word “safe” … Read more
“I’m disappointed that both the original posting and response violated the principles of GraniteGrok” Zandra Rice-Hawkins wouldn’t know “principles” from Shinola if it bit her in the butt. As I stated here: That was my first interaction with Zandra Rice-Hawkins – she almost Alinsky’d me during McCain’s run for Prez when she was fronting for … Read more
I am here in Concord to both record and to testify on HB 564 (“relative to possession of firearms in safe school zones.”). It’s not a good bill – one that I would suggest is a nuisance bill that just makes it harder for law abiding gun owners to exercise their Second Amendment and Article … Read more
