You lived to tell the tale of another week, and here we are to celebrate. Memes, baby, tasteless, spicy, often painfully honest, not always making total sense memes. And probably a few that are full of it but funny as hell. Hey. It’s a meme. That’s what they are for. . . . . . … Read more
Remember Oyster River School Board Member Giana Gelsey. Last July, she was only slightly ahead of the outrage curve with demands that “we” need to dox law enforcement. She meant federal agents. Doxing is illegal in lots of places, but announcing to the world that “we” need to do it is protected speech. Even for … Read more
The idea that the globalist left, which includes elites and American progressives, will protect and defend speech, association, or assembly that they disagree with is absurd. At every opportunity, they actively work to control words, speech, and, by extension, thoughts. Any crisis, real or imagined, is an excuse to create fear and to silence dissent. … Read more
Welcome to the middle of the emem week and, with it, midweek memes, with special thanks to Matt, Brian, Laura, Deb, David, the other Laura, and the rest of you who send me memes like there’s nothing in the world you’d rather do. We all appreciate it. . . . . . . . . … Read more
A headline like that could mean a lot of things. From America rising up again in 2026 and 2028 to push back against the systemic failure and cultural corruption of the political left, to preventing depression (emotional and economic), to Democrats committing political suicide as a matter of policy. In a manner of speaking, it … Read more
If you are old enough to remember or know how to ask the internet, Democrats have been pretending to care about the cost of health care since Mrs. Bill Clinton hit the West Wing with a left hook. Hillary Care was a groundbreaking piece of First Lady-inspired “legislation” to give the government more control over … Read more
Memes keep piling up in my inbox so thank you to everyone who sends them and…yes, of course I’ll share. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The court says the law says you can be detained without a bond hearing In what has to be a crazy development for “Democracy,” a Circuit Court just ruled that the law says what it says and the Trump Administration can enforce that. I’d add that it is constitutionally required to enforce the law as … Read more
Not one progressive millionaire in America lives on land that wasn’t “stolen,” if their rhetoric is to be believed. Bernie Sanders, for example, has three homes on stolen land, a hypocrisy not rivaled by his 550K$ “campaign” expenses in 2025 on Bombardier Challenger private aircraft (flown over stolen land), to bitch about rich people and … Read more
If you search “Diversity” on these beloved pages (was that a stretch?), you will get over 1400 hits. Searches for DEI, Equity, Inclusion, or related forms of discrimination (and insanity) will overlap in some instances, but we’ve got plenty more to chew on when it comes to the subject, and it all leaves a bad … Read more
Nothing says fun like campaign ads. Most of them are formulaic, boring, uninspired, and not share-worthy. I know. The consultant class knows how to spring whatever it is to get their candidate to win, but half of them are going to lose. Not great odds. So, if you are going to lose, have fun, and … Read more
Let’s Hope So I don’t know how many copies of Kamala’s book are boxed up in a well-kept but distant corner of many a Millionaire’s manse (or their housekeepers sus storage shed), but her book tour was a “good read.” Yeah, we dodged that bullet. But what if it’s an ordinance from the 2008 Movie … Read more
Every January, the nice folks at NewsGuard ask whether I will be responding to any of their questions about content published on GraniteGrok.com that they have issues with. They cite a post, comment on it, present rebutting information, and ask why we didn’t include any of that in the original. My pat response for years has been … Read more
Welcome back for another installment of the Friday meme thing. We’ve got more memes than you can shake a hockey stick at, and Friday is our weekly opportunity to dump a few extras on our eagerly waiting meme fans. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
It almost goes without saying that the Democrat Party isn’t terribly concerned, from 30,000 feet, if people drop dead or kill themselves. Individually, there are people registered as Democrats who care, and a few of them are actually concerned about killing babies in the womb. The latter is, of course, required if you intend to … Read more
Pearl-clutching abounds as politicians and pundits ponder a progressive population decline in the Green Mountain State. Vermont is old, white, and clearly not “importing” enough “refugees” to replace the “indigenous” population. The “reasonings” abound. The people born there, the indigenous ones, aren’t having enough children to replace themselves. It is a problem Vermont could solve … Read more
Welcome to the middle of the first week of February and another hump day edition to get you pointed toward the weekend. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
As requested by the First Circuit Court in the case of Stephen & Bethany Scaer v City of Nashua, the District Court entered a declaratory judgment last night. The City of Nashua has conceded that, if the Citizen Flagpole was a forum for private speech during that time, then the City has engaged in impermissible … Read more
Welcome to another installment of Monday memes. Memes, more memes, and nothing but memes, and an opportunity to subscribe to the newsletter and donate to help fund surgery for my dog, but everything else is memes! I promise. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
FAFO and What Goes Around Comes Around are getting one hell of a workout in 2026. From the folks who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination to an increasing list of anti-ICE doofuses, progressive peeps find themselves on the pointy end of their own stick. Todd Lyons, the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), … Read more
