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
Welcome to your latest installment of midweek memes. Today, we’ve got another excellent roundup of curiosities, including a whole new batch of ‘Iran’ related memes. Check it out! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … 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
Apologies for the short notice, but tonight at 7 PM ET, you are invited to epacfully open-carry at the Durham Town Council Meeting, Town Hall, at 8 New Market Rd. Some folks will be there in opposition to UNH’s gun-free zone policy and in support of legislation to prohibit such policies on campuses across the … Read more
Welcome back to another installment of Monday Memes. It’s a bit beefier than usual, mostly from a handful of “Iran” memes that came my way after I’d already put the post together. Extra memes. Not really a hardship. Here we go. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Garry Rayno just dropped over 1300+ words to explain just how little he actually knows or understands the problem of education funding in New Hampshire. I know. Veteran journalist. Longtime reporter covering NH State politics and the legislature. I’m sure he’s a great guy and knows a lot of stuff, but decades of experience are … Read more
There is a growing trend among elected Republicans in New Hampshire. An awareness that courts and judges no longer have our leave to exercise taxing powers. I’m going to cover this more in Monday’s GrokTALK! But I wanted to share this statement from Executive Councilor John Stephen as a primer. The tone and tack are … Read more
I’ll open with this. There are a lot of reasons to be distressed about the US and Israeli attacks on Iran and its response. The Peace president, many will say, ought not be lobbing ordinance hither and yon. But what if it brings peace? Real peace. And despite what the Trump haters think or the … Read more
Did you hear the news? “Moderate” members of the Taliban, when not polishing the military hardware Joe left them for sale to our enemies (like China) so they can reverse engineer it, just made a progressive leap that has to have Dems dancing with people in inflated frog costumes. The Telegraph apparently obtained the 60-page … Read more
Welcome to my ongoing review of questions challenging my “journalistic integrity” (except I’m not a journalist), in which I use their challenge to challenge theirs right back. NewsGuard doesn’t guard news, as we all know, proven in real time by these posts showing what they ask me and my response. Here are the links to … Read more
Another week almost in the can, and time to get the weekend meme party started. As a reminder, we have a handful of people to thank for all the memes we share each week. Brian, Matt, Deb, David, Laura, and then a few others. Without them, you might have to roam the wilds for your … Read more
My local audience already knows about the trans-identifying Manchester, New Hampshire resident who drove 150 miles to get shot by border patrol. Cullan Zeke Daly, who “identifies” as Blu Zeke Daly, was spotted driving around Stewartstown, New Hampshire, and stopped by a federal agent late on Saturday night. The agent followed Daly as he drove … Read more
As I noted yesterday, I broke with tradition and watched the entire State of the Union. It was time well spent, and Democrats stepped on landmines all night long, inside and out. Their alternative programs were failures or absurd failures, while inside the House Chamber, the best and brightest helped craft an endless stream of … Read more
Democrats are terrified that Congress could find a way to make everyone prove both who they are and that they are a citizen, before voting in Federal elections. And why wouldn’t they be? If invoked, the next election might reveal how many “seats” they have erroneously occupied thanks to the interests of non-citizens or people … Read more
It has been one Nor’easter and a boring Tuesday since the last time we shared memes (not boring in the UK, of course, or the EU ala Epstein). Is that too long? Maybe, but memes are just a sort of, kind of palate cleanser, and political trench warfare cannot live on memes alone. . . … Read more
Mr. Trump has had a long list of successes in his first year. Most Americans are not aware of them because while they may have voted for him, they watch Handmaid media outlets. The last honest thing they reported was Trump winning the office. Most of the coverage has been in support of the calculated … Read more
France is one of those Western-style democracies that, after being liberated from the Nazis, began a long, slow decline toward the very tyranny they had escaped. A sort of Neo-monarchy with a protected political class capable of stopping populist uprising (ask Marine Le Pen about that), and increasingly like the one they shirked off during … Read more
