You survived not just to the end of another week but the end of January. And you’ve still got 328 Shopping days until Christmas. What’s that? Shut up and share some memes? Here you go: includes a few Ilhan Omar “fake attack” memes for good old-fashioned “MAGA/Trump country” fun. . . . Note: They did … Read more
GraniteGrok has consistently called out the mafeasance and misfeasance of government at every level for two decades. Without deference to any political party. But without looking, I’m going to guess that among the 60,000 or so pieces of content we’ve published in that time, there are none that show Democrats advancing any idea you could … Read more
Not a single J6 protester brought a weapon to their clambake, but Alex Pretti did to his. No J6 protesters had extra ammunition packed with their loaded handguns, but Alex Pretti did. While the J6 gathering started out as nothing more than a great big rally to support President Trump (that the FBI turned into … Read more
Living under a rock might not be enough to shield you from the Left’s response to the Trump Administration enforcing the law. Fine details, nunace, those may have passed you by, but the general effort itself? The press is like a broken storm door in a hurricane. But their reporting consistently ignores or leaves out … Read more
The memes are piling up almost as fast as that snow did, and we need to throw a few of them your way before the block the back end of the website, and people have to announce closings until we clear them out. . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Yes. Yes, it is. But then it’s not. Democrats across the fruited plains are making a lot of noise about Immigration enforcement. Stop ICE, end ICE, defund ICE, and the media is hyper-focused on “incidents,” playing them up like this is some sort of widespread national outrage. It’s not. The majority of the activity, a … Read more
The killing fields of Canada keep getting predictably tragic. From “The State” convincing people they are a burden to relieve itself of the circumstances in which it likely put them, to people burdened to the point of asking others to be killed, the Great White North is looking decidedly red. I’ve covered the descent of … Read more
You can hardly throw a virtual rock around the internet these days without hitting a story about how the British Empire is advancing fascist and draconian anti-speech rules and laws. The UK puts more people in prison for online speech than countries like China and North Korea (subject to the notion that we actually get … Read more
We got buried under about two feet of snow, and most of the towns in my state have nearly that, which means that when you’re not shoveling, snow-blowing, or plowing your way out from under it, you may still be trapped in the house. We’ve got just what you need. Memes! . . . . … Read more
Criminal threatening is a thing. In the name of public peace and order, you can go around talking a lot of smack, but there are some lines you don’t want to cross. ‘30-year-old Oklahoma Taylor Ryan Prigmore, who posted a YouTube video where he said he would kill “as many [agents] as possible.” That wasn’t a … Read more
Don’t get used to this, but I had a few extra memes lying about, and I figured you were stuck in the house and could use them. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Reminder: Memes are memes and are neither “fact-checked” nor do they … Read more
If you want to be a racist shopper, knock yourself out, but when Michelle Obama announced that she is inclined to seek out black-owned businesses, my first thought wasn’t that she’s a racist, segregationist stooge playing identity politics. She is, but that wasn’t my first thought. Instead of using your platform to soft sell segregation … Read more
Just about everyone I know, and for the progs, libs, and dems who clicked the title, nearly all of them are white, Christian, adults, who couldn’t care less if two guys want to marry each other. The concern was over government force infringements on faith groups intimidated by political will. Sure, they’d like them to … Read more
I have had a handful of reports from folks using Brave browsers that they can’t connect to GraniteGrok. First, we cannot duplicate the problem on our end. Second, one of those readers managed to solve the rproblem form their end. They had their techie fiddle with the browser settings, and now they have no issue. … Read more
You can call anti-ICE protester hotlines and give tips to protesters who will then show up and harass “agents” on theor down time. Mob intimidation tactics. Street action that has a habit of sweeping up people who have nothing to do with ICE and may actually be on the protesters’ side. So, what if someone … Read more
The Virginia state elections were sold as proof of Republican mid-term doom. The psycho lefties ran on affordability, and voters swept them into power at all levels of state government. Threatening children couldn’t stop them. States like New York, California, and other Blue states, where nothing is affordable, were not a sufficient warning. So they … Read more
In the January 20th Morning Update, I warned Democrats that they’ve got a problem they need to fix. A small, determined mob harassed a group of engineers at a restaurant because someone reported them for looking like ICE agents. Reports are coming in of regular Americans, sitting in their cars at intersections, being waylaid by … Read more
Welcome to Friday, freezing temperatures, followed by more freezing temperatures, and the biggest snowstorm of the season to date. Welcome to New England and many places where they don’t get snow very often. What they do or can get is…memes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
The website is now on its new server and hosting service. We moved to address a number of issues that were blocking readers. We lost nearly a third of our traffic in a matter of days, and the solutions the old host gave me didn’t solve the problem. We are now hosted with a local … Read more
It may not be THE criminal Mecca, but it has to be close. During the Summer of Love in Minneapolis, crime was king. Looting, arson, rape, assault, and murder were protected behind the patina of mostly peaceful protests. It inspired autonomous zones in other places where women were raped, robbed, shot, and killed. The progressives … Read more
