Emphasis mine: …Sununu is not the only governor who is keeping his state locked down while supporting Black Lives Matter and Antifa rallies that blatantly violate bans on large group gatherings. …If that’s all a little confusing to you, then I’m glad I’m not the only one bemused here. These governors seem to be saying … Read more
OK, this intro of a project I’ve restarted (and to date, really haven’t settled on a really good name yet) isn’t going to drag on for much longer. But a “few more” became a LOT more. More than I ever thought: More than I ever thought when I finished coding up Version 1.0 of GraniteGrok … Read more
Don Bolduc is running for the US Senate and graciously did not just one MicroInterviews with GraniteGrok, but two (discovered that the audio from #1 just didn’t make it due to the ambient noise just after the event ended (political people gotta talk and talk LOUDLY!). Even though he was pressed for time (with the … Read more
After Doug had left, I carried on for a while by myself. However, times were changing in the blogosphere. Sites that had been single proprietors, a single blogger were starting to become group blogs. The news cycle was speeding up – no one single person could ever hope to keep up. Not even on the … Read more
And after a couple of years, Doug was gone from GraniteGrok: But! Out there… To be continued…
A blogsite necessarily, and by definition, needs bloggers. In the beginning, there were two – the techie and the activist: To be continued…

The answer, based on the avalanche of evidence from current governance, is an emphatic “no.” The evidence is in the rise of the administrative state … Read more
Interesting article in the Daily Mail about how various states’ consumer spending is going relative to a baseline set by Google in January/February. While some states are 1-2% less than baseline (Mississippi, Oklahoma, Idaho, Arkansas), New Hampshire is much further down (although heading in the right direction):
Observation from Instapundit: DISTURBING THOUGHTS FROM A FRIEND ON FACEBOOK: “At this point China may be like Wilhelmine Germany in 1914 after the mobilization orders went out. The Plans are being executed. To stop before a predetermined victory condition, such as the surrender of Taiwan, risks the collapse of the military and the economy and … Read more
Sigh, I guess this will mean I’ll get dropped from yet another email list….c’est la! I saw something in this Presser from the NH Federation of College Republicans that made my heart sink and my brain go “WHAT! Don’t they KNOW better than to think / write this???

With the middle-class economy largely shut down and, in the best-case scenario, in for a long and painful recovery, the population that is barely hanging on is expanding rapidly in America and around the world.
GraniteGrok would be FAR less of a place to be without our commenters. SMART, too. But there are exceptions. I don’t mind at all when people from the other side of an argument come over to present their point of view. In fact, I’m of the opinion that Conservatives MUST go out and do battle … Read more
America eats out. A lot! One of the things that I kinda knew but was hammered home as local groceries ran out of things was that there are TWO logistic chains – one residential and one for anything commercial. That latter part was about 40% of our food supply – and was caught right in … Read more
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat and a FABULOUSLY wealthy businessman is part of the family that owns the Hyatt Hotels. He Effectively “bought” the Governorship from what I have read. His problem, like many Governors at this time: they think they’ve been elected Kings and Queens.
