Steve MacDonald Granite Grok and Bare Minimum Books are teaming up for something special in July. For one month only, supporters of independent NH journalism will be able to receive PDF editions of Ian Underwood’s books as thank-you gifts for supporting GraniteGrok.com. These aren’t corporate-approved “airport books.” They’re short, sharp, outside-the-box explorations of education, economics, culture, politics, … Read more
The progressive industrial complex, by its nature, looks for ways to justify non-productive use of tax dollars. It justifies the creation of institutions (agencies) staffed with people on a taxpayer payroll whose primary interest is almost always keeping their jobs. And what better way than inventing rights you are then obligated to protect. That’s the … Read more
This right here. This is an excellent example of the sort of BS license the Handmaiden media takes with the truth. Adding fuel to the fire is the couple’s purchase of an $8million Malibu pad last December, although sources told the Daily Mail the new home was bought due to security concerns – especially after … Read more
One of the worst things you can do for liberty and human flourishing is to pay your legislature and give them benefits. It’s also not good for tax burden, business and job growth, regulation, education, health care costs, and the list goes on. The moment people become financially dependent on making rules to run other … Read more
The words “Body positivity” is a lot like “climate change.” The climate is always changing, and at certain times in Earth’s four-billion-ish history, it was more or less hostile to life, including ours. These days are no different. I woke up to a sunny forecast and mild temps with no rain predicted, only to find … Read more
Nashua’s “tag line,” nickname, whatever you want to call it, is the Gate City. Narcissistic, Machiavellian, psychopathic Mayor Jim Donchess has repurposed the word ‘gate’ to mean ‘locked,’ thereby turning welcome openness into locked, inaccessible territory. You can come spend money at the Mall or avoid taxes all over the city as a retail tourist … Read more

The handmaiden media doesn’t want you to know this. The Democrats have a massive enthusiasm gap compared to Republicans. The media won’t air any of the Left’s laundry, but there’s a lot of it, and it’s dirty. Based on the most recent FEC filings, Republicans and allies have raised an historic $939 million ahead of … Read more
For many, it is difficult to imagine the scope of the ongoing fraud. Not just what we know was stolen recently, but in total. The sums are vast and well beyond the understanding of many. How could so many steal so much for so long and go unnoticed? Even a mostly corruptocracy, eager to spend … Read more
The list of things you could ask your local, state, or federal Democrat creature of the night is long, and they won’t answer them anyway. So, you support neutering children? I believe strongly in civil rights for all, bullshitbullshitbullshit, next question. Nor will I promise to be the source of such questions, though I would … Read more

The progressive left has been working on one or another scheme to socially engineer society for more than a century. Hitler’s master-race nonsense is flattery to post-Darwinist Western progressives who got the idea that natural selection, with a little help from them and the government, could/would weed out the undesirables in society so that when … Read more
Being in the right place at the right time with the right message might not be enough to overcome the Democratic party machine that owns California and runs Los Angeles. Spencer Pratt, for all his biting AI commercializing, which has almost made elections fun again, has a bigger hill to climb than getting 51% of … Read more
To be clear, the flying of gay flags is not prohibited in the city of Nashua, but a recent settlement has put the city’s citizen flagpole six feet under. Viewpoint discrimination, as it turns out, is unconstitutional in Nashua, too. There is no Nashua Exception, and if the hyper-partisan Mayor can’t limit use of his … Read more

I’m not sure we can call this FAFO. It’s more like discovering that the inseparable thing you have loved and promoted would have absolutely no problem “killing” you. And there’s really no excuse. Plenty of people, experts, institutions, and even political leaders warned you. Don’t feed that thing, or it will eat you alive once … Read more
How funny is this? For more than a decade, your Congress has been flirting with the idea of adding a Women’s History Museum to the Smithsonian. Right before the COVID experience was thrust upon us, Congress actually passed the Smithsonian Women’s History Museum Act. “The bill cites the under-representation of women in historical accounts, monuments, … Read more
It is in my nature to like troublemakers. It’s part of why I always liked Rand Paul. I don’t agree with him all the time, but I like his spirit and perseverance, and he has conviction. Thomas Massie was a reasonable enough facsimile in the US House, but he didn’t lose because the GOP is … Read more
If you are an illegal alien truck driver named Singh, you might want to hang up the rig and hightail it out of America. Yes, Trump’s DOT has done good work on short notice to cull the ranks of drivers who can’t read or speak English. It has gone after states that issue OTR licenses, … Read more
After getting its fat blue ass handed to it in Bruen, the political left and New York State in particular tried to squeeze gun control into a tighter pair of jeans than ever it could possibly fit. Add Heller, and there isn’t much room left in there for gun-grabbing neo-Marxists to fit all their bullshit. … Read more
