France is one of those Western-style democracies that, after being liberated from the Nazis, began a long, slow decline toward the very tyranny they had escaped. A sort of Neo-monarchy with a protected political class capable of stopping populist uprising (ask Marine Le Pen about that), and increasingly like the one they shirked off during … Read more
Families of victims of the Tumbler Ridge BC Trans-Shooter are Getting Death Threats One of the benefits of wallowing in the political trenches for decades is a thickening of the skin. Just about everything they throw at you bounces off. If you are not careful, you could become like them or just become so indifferent … Read more
We’re in the midst of a “MASSIVE” Nor’easter. I’m expecting another foot with points south of me, expecting more. Have real winters returned to the northeast? I don’t know, here are some memes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
This’ll be a touchy subject for the left and a few suspect Republicans. How dare you (Thank you, Greta), share the commentary of a black man ranting about why there are no nice black neighborhoods. Because it begs a few questions, most of which point directly to white and black Democrats and their modern plantation … Read more
Steven Spielberg is estimated to have assets worth between 5 and 7 billion. This makes him one of the richest SOBs in Hollywood, but thanks to years of voting for, funding, and supporting Democrat campaigns, can he no longer “afford” to live there? While ET wanted very much to phone home and then go home, … Read more
The professional anti-ICE left keeps trying to appeal to the empathy of women, moms, maybe the odd beta-male, and at least a few centrist Christians, on the question of immigrant children or immigrants with children. The Children! According to Kelly, that plan centers on shaping public reaction to immigration enforcement, particularly deportation operations. “And the … Read more
I’d like to invite past commenters who were driven off by trolling to come back into the ‘Grok Comment ‘ pool. I turned guest commenting off (again). I wanted it to work. Let more people have the opportunity to remark. But all it did was collect shit and flies. Not every guest commenter was an … Read more
As a good friend and blogging peer of Rick Olson, the President of the Londonderry Fish and Game Club [LFGC], I have long been aware of the false accusations against them and the defamation suit they filed in response. Some local Litchfield residents who bought a home near a gun club that had been there … Read more
Welcome to my ongoing review of questions challenging my “journalistic integrity” (except I’m not a journalist), in which I use their challenge to challenge theirs right back. Part one addressed the first of five “concerns” the lovely people at NewsGuard (that’s not sarcasm) expressed over content published at GraniteGrok.com. The individuals I deal with are very professional; … Read more
Get yourself some memes, my brothers and sisters. It’s Friday. The end of the week. .Time for the Friday meme thing. Can I get an Amen! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Vermont, once famous for its dairy – I dig a good Vermont Cheddar – is getting cheesy in other ways. Progressive legislators, some of them elected as actual progressives, are always looking for ways to steal money from people. Two facts or rules of progressive political life. First, when it comes to the Elected Left … Read more
Democrats claim to hate rich people, but like all things of the Left, there is more than one face. They need them, and their wannabe millionaire cousins. Political campaigns cost money. Sure, they can print it (money), hand it off to the numerous luandresses in DC and across the corruptible fruited plain, and buy votes … Read more
Welcome to another Wednesday, where we wander idly with the best of intentions through a field of memes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
It isn’t making news, probably because the left and its army of militant wine-moms, the toxic empathy army, is distracted by the paid-protester pay day in Minnesota. But that’s starting to wind down. And while there are plenty of opportunities for paid protesters to make “a living wage” by pretending to be angry about something … Read more
Not that long ago, right before someone decided there was political and cultural upside, the destructive variety, joking that you were really a lesbian trapped in a man’s body, was bad form. Now it’s defended by members of Congress at a Conference on women’s rights. McBride was the first “woman” to speak at Hillary Clinton’s … Read more
So you mostly survived the Valentine’s Day weekend. Or maybe you didn’t. Or you came out different from when you went in. Same treatment, same celebrations, same cure. Memes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
I am not saying there is fraud, just that something seems odd. Becket Academy Inc., Becket Family Services, and New Treks are listed as foreign nonprofit corporations based in Orford, NH (via a PO Box). See also, LIFECONNECTIONS SPECIALIZED SUPPORT SERVICES (Active). “community-based residential, day, and behavioral health services to youth and adults.” A Second … Read more
For years, I have marveled as so-called feminists made excuses, even defending the practice of men in garish clown make-up, reading books to kids at local libraries. The same feminists ignore men wearing stereotypical garb from an era during which they claim women were oppressed, or who do drag shows, which are over-sexualized performances wearing … Read more
If you were jaded about politics and power before the response to the China Virus (say it like Trump; CHI-NUH), odds are good that it metastasized into full-blown cases of “you just can’t trust those f**kers about anything. And you can’t. You never could. Well into my second decade of mouthing off about almost everything, … Read more
Remember Bob and Doug McKenzie. SCTV and later CBC TV. A filler bit that exploded into a phenomenon. An Album, the movie Strange Brew. I wonder what that would look like today. G’Day, Eh, and welcome to the Great Woke North. So, like, this is me as a gunperson in a dress, eh? Canada is … Read more
