Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.

Data Point – I would call it Modernity and Success than anything else.

I saw these two maps over at Pleated Jeans.  Immediately at seeing the title of “Light Pollution”, my response was “wealth, modernity” – the people of the US (not the national government) are much more wealthier and have higher expectations for standards of living.  Thus, we have the ability and willingness to “push back the … Read more

Grok Open Thread - updated

Friday Open Thread – It’s Summer; Whatcha Doing?

Meetings, doing more GrokGauntlets, and the Grandson is starting to get the “Summer Boredom” syndrome (which is more of a problem to me than him!). Speaking of the middle one, I’m adding Gail Huff-Brown (running in CD-1) to the DECLINE category joining outright DECLINEs from Chris Sununu (running for Governor) and George Hansel).  I’m taking … Read more

Really? The EPA Is Going to Take a Second Bite at the CO2 Apple?

Yeah, “jealously guarding their Powers” is a quote I keep using in talking about what each of our co-equal Branches of Government should be doing (but haven’t).  Yet, in the lengthening shadow of the SCOTUS decision that the EPA could just make stuff up on their own (e.g., can’t regulate CO2 emissions of power plants … Read more

Data Point – Civiqs Poll Has Biden at Only 29% Approval

Yikes! In a poll from Saturday by Civiqs, Biden’s overall approval rating dipped below the dreaded 30% level for the first time. According to Gallup, only five other presidents have ever polled in 20s, and no… none of those presidents were named Trump. However, one of the five was Jimmy Carter, a Commander-in-Chief that Biden appears hellbent on emulating … Read more

Palate Cleanser: Sorry, Couldn’t Resist Being Punny

Well?  It’s true, right? I look at it this way – I’d go from a weight of 187 down to 82. Right? From 3 digits to 2 digits HAS to mean something, right? Quick thought – the metric system is weird. My weight is almost half in kilograms but my walking around is almost doubled … Read more

Data Point: Amount of Assets to be Wealthy in the US?

Interesting infographic and table, courtesy of Visual Capitalist.  We heared (or more correctly, heard a lot during the Occupy Wall Street movement – seems like eons ago) all about the vaunted (and hated) “1%”.  Democrat Socialist Bernie Sanders is still going after them – even as he is now one of them with an estimated … Read more

Notable Quote – What Socialists REALLY want!

“The truth is that, to many people calling themselves Socialists, revolution does not mean a movement of the masses with which they hope to associate themselves;  it means a set of reforms which ‘we’, the clever ones, are going to impose upon ‘them’, the Lower Orders.” — George Orwell Corollary:  “…and exile, punish or execute all … Read more

This Is beyond Annoying: “People Now Have Pronouns That Change Depending on the Pronouns of the Person They Are Talking To at the Moment and If You Fail to Remember Them It’s off to the Gulags”

Steve, as Editor, is going to hate me for the title but I wanted the effect from the original (NotTheBee) post. It’s not bad enough that a tiny sliver of the overall population has decided that they can demand that we can only use certain coerced speech in and out of their presence and that … Read more

declaration-of-independence-

“…He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”

The title is from our Declaration of Independence from England and King George’s tyrannical rule.  That text above is the 10th (out of the 27 Grievances our Founding Fathers listed as reasons for wanting our American cleavage from British rule. And, as this snippet from a longer Wall Street Times article (paywalled) should remind us … Read more

DISQUS Doodlings: No, Lloyd, SCOTUS Didn’t Limit the EPA Powers; Congress Never Gave It That Power to Begin With! Part 1

The absolute beserk attitudes of the Greenies continues as the SCOTUS decision concerning the EPA’s capability to regulate CO2 emissions from power plants is still reverberating (along with Dobbs (abortion back to the States), NYC (Second Amendment / Conceal Carry), and First Amendment (Religious Liberty for a football coach and religious school student vouchers)). This … Read more
