When I first announced the return of GrokTALK! a few weeks ago, in pursuit of likely guests, the very first response I got on my status update from a Republican Facebook page was, “Great, just what we need, more anti-Republican crap.” – Steve Go ahead, change my mind. Or rather, Steve’s and mine. Again, researching some stuff in GraniteGrok’s archives (try … Read more
Freedom just is – having to ask permission means it doesn’t exist
(H/T: Skip, September 12, 2014)
We are closing in on 47,000 published posts at GraniteGrok; we’ve covered a lot of issues, concerns, questions, and trouble. A lot of times, by several of us, and often, the same thing comes back up in different guises.
For far too long, Democrats keep saying that their ideas are solid but their messaging is off. When they encounter pushback on both their ideas AND messaging, they start yammering “you need to get educated!”. I heard that a LOT during the Public Comment sessions at the Gilford School Board meetings as they listened to … Read more
I’ve written a lot, over the years, on both the plunging quality of “journalism” as well as the skyrocketing uplift of the naked partisanship of those “journalists”. Here, thanks to Wokeness, it’s a twofer!
I know this is going to be published at the end of the day – we’re getting so many submissions that by the time I can start writing in the morning, almost all our slots are filled. The purpose of this post is to say that Fathers are the problem in America today. No, not that they ARE the problem but that they are LACKING in our society. Too many kids are growing up without them.
Well, this was rather interesting! Once again, a little birdie coughed a nice gushy worm – just in time for the start of the 2022 Governor Campaign:
Forget CPI: the week’s most important data point is today’s monthly consumer credit update. Last month we saw a blowout, record surge in credit card usage as consumers tapped out…… and sure enough it was, while again confirming what we have been saying for month: any excess savings accumulated by the US middle class are long … Read more
They expect you to bow down to them and all their whims – they prey on the sense of politeness and good nature of most in order to get what they want. Matt Walsh, the force behind “What is a Woman” documentary (I STILL have to watch it), takes apart one Eden Torres, a militant … Read more
The number keeps rising and is now half the States in the Union as of March: 25. Half the country now honors and respects the Second Amendment whose plain words put NO restrictions on the keeping and bearing of arms. Period: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the … Read more
DUnno if this is happening here in New England but forewarned is forearmed: A Sheriff’s office in Tennessee is warning the public against picking up folded dollar bills because of possible fentanyl and methamphetamine exposure. The Giles County Sheriff’s Department saw two incidents where a folded dollar bill was discovered on a local gas station floor … Read more
The Most Terrifying Force of Death… “The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change … Read more
More random thoughts – the Left’s absolute mind-tearing political rampage about killing babies, while I wait for the Grandson’s field trip bus to the Squam Lake Center to arrive, after the leaking of the Alito preliminary decision about overriding Roe vs Wade. Throw in some about the “shall not infringe”-ing going on by the Democrats … Read more

Given that Republicans in DC have decided (in caving in), just like the Republicans in Concord, that they can redefine words any way they want to “DO SOMETHING”, the money they are about to use as bribes to the “various State” to implement Red Flag laws, I’m betting this will happen:
Emphasis mine: Nothing so epitomizes contemporary liberalism as unfunded mandates, in which the federal government establishes programs and forces the states to pay for them. The very need to weigh benefits against costs – the essence of economics – is evaded by this irresponsible exercise of arrogance. It is like impulse buying and charging it to … Read more
You had it correct, right from the start, US Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY). There are only two sexes – male and female. Him and Her. And you were right to state (reformatted, emphasis mine):
Once again, we see that the “Wokeness” crowd going after a model because they can’t be one (reformatted, emphasis mine): ‘Feels Like A Threat’: Sydney Sweeney’s Tiny Outfit At Award Show Riles Up ‘Body Positivity’ Activists A Yahoo! Life writer questioned actress Sydney Sweeney’s fashion choice at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, not over concerns … Read more
Or, Biden’s willing to let poor kids go hungry to force transgender affirmation on schools. Talk about strings attached! The US Department of Agriculture just mandated that if a school wishes to receive Federal money meant for school lunches for poor and low-income students, those schools MUST implement all of the Biden Administration’s “anti-discrimination” policies concerning LGBTQ, especially those experiencing gender dysphoria (transgenderism).
Once again, was on with Marc (Paul Hopfgarten was unavailable) this morning. A late addition to the line up but it’s a fun show to do – they tolerate me.
