It’s the end of the week, and time to clean up all the extra memes that are lying around this place. Thanks again to Deb, Matt, Brian, and David, who provide the bulk of these things so you can enjoy them. Unless you are a lib or a RINO, then enjoy is the wrong word. … Read more
Some Brave and Edge Browser users have been encountering a security conflict. You can bypass it by right-clicking and opening the Grok link in private or incognito mode, but we’ve been trying to solve this. It keeps some readers from accessing content, and may have a solution. From my web developer. At the browser level, … Read more
Just the other day I opined on the notion that the Republican Primary between Paxton and Cornyn was becoming a bargaining chip to get some stuff out of the US Senate. Since then, both Trump and Paxton have come out saying that Republicans have to ditch the filibuster and pass the SAVE ACT. No pauses, … Read more
Anthony Watts became famous for and has since run one of the most widely popular websites in the virtual world. Watts Up With That cut its teeth on a scandal of global temperature reporting. All that warming the Marxist-Globalist Cabal was citing to rob us blind and make us dependent on their energy whimsy was … Read more
It’s Wednesday. We’re halfway home, but sometimes that still feels like a long way to go. The obvious cure, or at least treatment, has to be memes. Am I wrong? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
The timing of this is serendipitous. I’ve been writing a lot about how the purple-haired nose-ring crowd and their low-T beta male servants (wearing a dress elevates them out of that role, I think) control the party and the narrative. These are the Democrat voters gluing themselves to stuff, obstructing ICE, and showing up to … Read more
The left filed so many lawsuits; it is easy to lose track of them. I think, as a guideline, we should assume that if Trump did something, there’s a suit to stop it. Where they are on the judicial ladder depends on whether a district court judge issues a stay or injunction. The other matter … Read more
The world didn’t end. I guess we’ve got time for more memes. With a bunch more Iran memes, by the way. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Reminder: Memes … Read more
The headline reads, “UK Mulls Banning 67 Dog Breeds for ‘Animal Health’ — but Is That Really the Reason?” My first thought, before reading it was, shouldn’t it be, UK Mullahs Banning 67 Dog Breeds for ‘Animal Health’ — but Is That Really the Reason?” The UK’s Daily Mail reported Thursday that this initiative comes from the … Read more
A Patch story caught my eye, and a light bulb went off. All those gazillions of dollars we’ve wasted on public education when we could have been cherishing seminaries, literature, or science. If you recall, the justification for state-managed gambling was that we’d be investing in public schools. Without looking at how much more expensive … Read more
During the Biden years, things were a lot like Joe. In a state of slow decline. The big news was what the so-called news was saying to paper over Joe’s dementia, or what his handlers were doing to hide it. The Easter bunny keeps Joe away from the kids. Joe gets lost of 20 x … Read more

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) had a thing the other night at Abel Ebeneezer in Merrimack. It’s a few minutes from where I live, and I love their beer, so it was game on the moment the invite hit my inbox. I always meet a few people at these things I haven’t seen in a while, … Read more
Another week on planet earth. More news, controversy, politics, chaos, and the sanity derived from it all that we call memes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Welcome back for the final installment of this year’s NewsGuard drive-by. The annual interface between GraniteGrok.com and an establishment censor that uses a rigged, partisan scoring scheme to scare readers away from information the globalists don’t want them to see. Here are the links to part one, part two, and part 3. . NewsGuard’s final two questions … Read more
Originally published January 28, 2026 – Please scroll down for all updates. Personal: My dog, Cosmo, needs surgery, and we have started a GiveSendGo donation page (no fees) to help cover the costs of procedures, tests, and treatment. The GoFundMe page is still there, but we are not directing donors to it (too many fees) … Read more
The proglodyte response to Trump’s decapitation strikes in Iran are nothing short of a multiple personality disorder where none ot the personalities are interesting or remotely sane. Usually one of them is lucid, but none of that here. That makes for low-hanging fruit that’s easy to pick. Another angle as old as the Islamic Republic … Read more

I don’t think we’re likely to escape accusations of political targeting as the default response to any investigation of anyone “on the other side.” We can note that Obama really got this ball rolling when he began targeting businesses in his first term, and his IRS went into Hitler mode to stop Tea Party groups … Read more
If you are unfamiliar with Walter Hudson, then you are missing out on some genius hot takes and sober analysis of things going on in Minnesota. I am only recently acquainted and wish I’d found him a few months ago. His commentary on the anti-ICE protests and the shenanigans is outstanding and worth your time … Read more
