Independent media matters most when it says what other outlets won’t. That’s why Granite Grok exists. And it’s why Bare Minimum Books fits so naturally with it. Both are built around the same idea: Question assumptions. Follow evidence. Think clearly. Speak plainly. We’re putting together a July fundraiser that brings both together. GraniteGrok and Bare … Read more
I was invited to attend the Rockingham County Republican Committee Freedom Founders Breakfast. I went. It was good to see some folks I’ve not run into in a very long time. It was also refreshing, though not unexpected, to watch a four-panel Q&A representing four factions within the Republican Party. Libertarian, Establishment, Centrist, and MAGA. … Read more
While this is hardly a reflection on every medical professional who ever participated in the project, the same way those Secret Service Sex scandals didn’t either, you have to admit this is kind of ironic. Doctors “without borders” has been charged with running a sex trafficking ring. The United Nations has a long and disreputable … Read more
When news broke about the SpaceX IPO, I knew it was about to get entertaining. Musk becoming the first trillionaire was a headline destined to drag every envy-peddling Marxist douchebag out from under their rock (which often looks remarkably similar to a mansion) to caterwaul. All they see is someone with more than them who, … Read more

Is parading your sexuality around gross? It’s inappropriate and bad manners; so is Pride Month Gross? It is. As Nate Jackson notes at Patriot Post, When you strip away all the high-minded garbage about diversity, equity, and inclusion, about “seeing” people and making them feel accepted, about how “love wins,” about making some kind of “identity” … Read more
Term limits are not a new notion. Career politicians are, without a doubt, the worst possible outcome. In fact, I’ve said more than once that paying them is a mistake. Every time a legislature tries to give itself a raise, or more benefits, or any income at all, my advice is no. New Hampshire pays … Read more
Warner Brothers/Discovery will, at some point soon, but not yet certain, become the property of Paramount/Skydance. If and when the latter proposes having Bari Weiss expand her CBS News Editorial oversight to include CNN. Weiss is, of course, the former NYT Reporter who tried to commit actual journalism and discovered how Monica Lewinsky and Tara … Read more
Karmelo Anthony admitted to stabbing Austin Metcalf to death (“I’m not alleged; I did it”), and people are outraged that he’s going to jail for that. The self-defense “defense” didn’t hold up. Death by stabbing after being pushed is considered excessive use of force. As in, couldn’t you have stabbed him someplace else? Or, how … Read more
Not to beat a dead horse, but the “government” has no obligation to protect you. None. No matter what the proglodytes say about public safety, no one has to protect you. Heck, they don’t even have to figure out who attacked or killed you. There’s no right to either, but they don’t tell you that … Read more
There are a number of current issues bouncing about in the public domain that are actually either democrat party talking points, foreign influence operations, or both. Most are both, since they share the same agenda. Stop Trump, Make America Weak Again (MAWA), and put us back on the slippery slope of globalist control. ATM to … Read more

Since 1991, Vermont’s only member of the US House of Representatives has been either a socialist who couldn’t run as one (until now) or a Democrat (same difference). It has one district, the entire State of Vermont. You can’t gerrymander that. And despite its open borders and sanctuary city-like leanings, the state is still 93% … Read more
Gender affirming care is one of those left-wing-isms. Without thought or study, you might say, well, a urologist does that for men, and a gynecologist does that for women. No one reading this thinks that is what they mean, but the word “care” is what truly misleads, and “affirming” is completely out of context. You … Read more
Breaking news. A UK Supermarket chain is racist. Yes. Sainsbury’s, a dominant retail outfit in the UK that runs just under 1,500 locations (plus a few hundred others under different names), is banning brown eggs. All I can think to say is White Egg Supremacy. What’s next, swastikas and goose-stepping? Maybe. Their stated rationale for … Read more

Democrats hate women. I’ve written quite a lot about that. Much the way they hate minorities- I mean, look what they did to them? From one plantation to another and trapping them on the public dole is hardly compensation for wrecking their families, killing their babies (abortion, drugs, crime), while framing even a basic education … Read more
Seattle, the city, has become a crazy homeless person. I know, Seattle, again, yes. Every poster child for democrat rule needs to have its dirty laundry aired so the so-called middle, filled with moderate, independent voters, understands. There’s no coming back from what Democrats will do and ignore what they say because there are numerous … Read more
You are endowed by your Creator with certain unalienable rights. They cannot be specific to you or your tribe. As enumerated, they do not provide for location exceptions. No matter where you live, or what you look like, or who you love, you have rights the government may not infringe. Rights that government exists to … Read more
