For four years, millions of illegal and unvetted people came from all over the globe to our southern border that Biden had replaced with a welcome mat. These illegal migrants (they became illegal the moment they crossed the Rio Grande and violated our sovereignty) are not all bad people, but they tried to come to … Read more
Oh my, did Governor Janet Mills really yell out to the President of the United States that she would “See you in court?” I heard it live and played it back many times, to be sure, but yes, she said it. It must have been a slip of the tongue or an out-of-body experience. Nobody … Read more
Lawrence O’Donnell is a bloviating idiot on MSNBC who makes comments and claims that he cannot substantiate or are just too absurd to have to fact-check. While talking about the IRS, he referred to it as one of the hyperefficient agencies of the federal government that makes money for the government and costs nothing to … Read more
I am old enough to remember when organized sports kept their distance from gambling in any form. Remember how Pete Rose was excommunicated from Major League Baseball and banned from the Hall of Fame because of betting on games when he was a manager? This was when he was the all-time hits leader and should … Read more
I have been fortunate enough to have my work shared with the readers of Granite Grok for over four years. Every day, for over 1,600, I have been writing my thoughts and have enjoyed your responses. I have had my work published on over 70 websites across the internet, but no site out there has … Read more
The Democrats have two choices. They can put their collective heads together and come up with solutions, which will never happen because, even collectively, there is no level of intelligence to develop solutions. They can put their tails between their legs and work with the Republicans, who have the majority support of Americans on key … Read more
I watch the protests and the coverage of the radicals by the legacy opinion shows. I am completely lost as to what the Democrat’s message is to the Republicans or the American people. Collectively, they are coming across as unhinged. In one protest on Tuesday, each speaker threw at least one F-bomb, and in another, … Read more
To the victors goes the spoils, usually the message in politics or life. However, in Donald Trump’s world, there are second chances for people who have a message or mission that will serve the American people. Think about how he treated “Little Marco Rubio ” in 2016. Whoever would have seen these two as a … Read more
The noise about Elon Musk is not about the separation of powers, a Constitutional Crisis, or destroying America or our Democracy. The last one angers me because these people should know we are a Republic, not a Democracy. The noise about Elon Musk ranges from he is unelected and unconfirmed to a crook, a thief, … Read more
If only resurrecting the Democratic Machine was as easy as plugging in for a charge. But as Democrats are finding out, their effort to build vast numbers of charging stations was a flop. The Democrat batteries are out of juice, and they have no alternative mode of transportation. They probably wish they had invested in … Read more
It is beyond amazing how out of touch the Democratic Party leadership is with mainstream America. The party’s approval rating has fallen to 31%, the lowest in history. The trajectory indicates it has not reached its low point and will continue to decline. This party is on a suicide mission to destroy itself, and nobody … Read more
Rather than stand on its own merits and create an identity of its own, Maine is working feverishly to be the California of the East Coast. The Progressives who are clustered in the big cities are spending money they don’t have and threatening to lose federal funds by defying Washington edicts. Maine does not have … Read more
We have all seen the picture. It was not posed or even planned. It happened organically and was the perfect moment to climax a monumental event for every girl and woman in America. When Donald Trump signed the Executive Order protecting women in sports, it was far more than a Promises Made, Promises Kept event; … Read more
I challenge you to give me the name of one person on the Left who has the credentials to judge someone’s level of commitment to religion. The Left is a Godless group that has done all it can to remove God from our everyday life. They find the Ten Commandments offensive and not worthy of … Read more
This is no longer a challenge. The Democrats are so easy to excite to paranoia that we may have to find another group to play with. The vision of Chuck Schumer with his eyeglasses on the tip of his nose, is he not aware that Benjamin Franklin invented bifocals a couple of hundred years ago … Read more
The same people on the Left who have been denying the Holocaust and turning against Israel are now openly comparing the President of the United States and his actions as Fascist, Hitler-like, and promising to take to the streets and fight back against this evil, dangerous man before he goes any further. These disillusioned people, … Read more
You know you are on the right track when your actions have upset Ilhan Omar. Omar went apoplectic this week when President Trump froze the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and any flow of taxpayer dollars from the agency for 90 days. This time will be used to carefully investigate the financial records … Read more
Hakeem Jeffries has shown his true colors. Jeffries constantly teeters from radical to mainstream, and many think of him as the Party’s future leader once Schumer and Pelosi give up the reins. If what he said this week is any indication, his leadership role should be questioned, and this is further evidence of the disheveled … Read more
The Left is moaning with every action Donald Trump takes to end the WOKE culture of the Obama/Biden years. Obama started the movement as he convinced America that exceptionalism is terrible, that America First is evil, and that there should be no winners and losers. DEI survived the First Trump term and flourished during the … Read more
Democrats continue to hound Trump Cabinet nominees with questions, like a record needle stuck in a groove, about January 6th, 2021. Nobody looks at the day with pride, but most of us look at the day with open eyes, not slanted by the stories of the Left. There is no evidence of any weapons used … Read more
