MACDONALD: Young and Dumb & Socialism
The anti-free speech numbers for younger folks are bad. A majority (55%) are uncomfortable, meaning they are already well on their way to the world of thought-crime. 7 in 10 think some speech is the equivalent of actual violence. Hate speech is a thing, and they are not uncomfortable letting someone in a position of … Read more
MACDONALD: Something for a Monday Afternoon
Sundays are odd days for me. I know, it’s Monday, and Monday is why Sunday is weird. I have a part-time Monday through Friday job, and I have some other side-gig work that all falls under the umbrella of GROK MEDIA, LLC, but GraniteGrok is the 7/365 gig. Not 24/7, but definitely 5-7/7/365 and depending … Read more

MACDONALD: Not So SmartPhones
There is a growing body of evidence that having the wealth of human knowledge at your fingertips is as likely, if not more so, to make you dumber. New research also suggests that notifications cause cognitive disruption. “Our findings suggest that notifications can disrupt cognitive processing for about seven seconds and that this disruption reflects … Read more
MACDONALD: An ICE Stalking AWHFLS FAFO
Apologies for taking liberties with the acronym. Angry While Female Liberals (AWFL), sometimes, angry white female urban liberal (AWFUL), needed a tweak. Angry White Hispanic Female Liberal Stalkers. A jury found Coloradoan Ashleigh Brown and Californian Cynthia Raygoza guilty of felony stalking March 2 for following an ICE officer home in Los Angeles and livestreaming … Read more
MACDONALD: Trump is Reimagining the World and Not Everyone Likes What They Think They See
The UK appears to have reached a point where it has so ruined itself that the only way to preserve any sense of unity is to have its own great Satan. That Alinsky-esque target you freeze and isolate in your people’s minds. The cause of all the ills that you must unite to defeat. In … Read more
MACDONALD: Democrats Destroy Everything They Touch
This is making the rounds because it’s classic left-wing memory-holing. New York has been in trouble for a while. The state and the City. I was born in New England but grew up in Upstate New York, which is everything north of ‘The City.’ Finger Lakes region. The boonies to the burroughs, though not so … Read more
MACDONALD: New Death Tax Should Be The End of Democrats
Anyone running from the left, no matter how far they have to go to pretend to be in the middle, should be roundly mocked. Forced to answer for the likes of Spangerger in Virginia and Mamdani in New York. They claim to be like you. To care for your interests. To defend you from [insert … Read more
Friday Meme Thing
Another week with lots of memes, and here we are with even more. It’s cleanup time and time for the Friday meme thing, where we unload some of the extra memes we’ve accumulated over the past week. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
MACDONALD: Manchester Community College Violated Students’ Speech Rights
Last fall, Manchester Community College Turning Point USA president Samuel Raiti set up a table outside the schools Main Entrance. I’ve been on that sidewalk myself, and there is tons of room. As you can see from the pictures above, he was in no way obstructing or interfering with pedestrian traffic or access in or … Read more
MACDONALD: Adequate for What?
I won’t pay the Union Leader, our state’s largest circulation newspaper, for the privilege of access to the declining value of what they call news, but I get their emails, and this headline caught my eye. “Manchester schools ask business leaders to push for adequate funding.” Even if you’re not a victim of the ed … Read more
MACDONALD: Company that Sued NH Is Based in a State That Does Not Require Vehicle Emissions Testing
This is amusing. Gordon Darby Holdings has asked a federal judge to hold some New Hampshire state employees in contempt for ignoring that judge’s order requiring citizens to pay for their services. Gordon Darby makes money from emissions testing as part of state inspections that are no longer required. And while judges can’t levy taxes, … Read more
Midweek Memes
This week on Midweek memes, we’ve got (drumroll) memes. Yeah. Wow. What a surprise. A headline under which you find exactly what it says and nothing else (except this pithy intro). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
MACDONALD: Vehicle Inspection Vendor Bender
A third-party vendor that makes bank on mandated New Hampshire vehicle inspections convinced a NH judge to demand that the inspections be resumed. The legislature ended them last year (effective Jan 31, 2026). The governor signed that law. The Executive Council (EC) did not renew its contract. But some judge decided that a customer had … Read more
MACDONALD: Maybe We All Look the Same To Them
When you put people and equipment in action, even the best planning doesn’t protect everyone from accidents or tragedy. There are a lot of both milling about in the Middle East with kinetic intent, so failure is an exponentially likely option. Last week, a KC-135 tanker went down. Multiple reports claimed all sorts of things, … Read more
Monday Memes
Happy Day before St. Patrick’s Day, and I have to warn you. We don’t have any holiday-related memes for that, but we might have some come Wednesday. Iran memes? Can’t “not” have those, it seems. Enjoy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
MACDONALD: Making Cars Less Expensive
The only thing more offensive than how expensive a new car is is how expensive a used car is. But depending on when you bought it and its condition, you could trade in an old car and get more than you paid for it. That was a side-effect of liberal policy from Cars for Clunkers … Read more
MACDONALD: Little-Known Virus With No Vaccine Spreading in US?
That’s the headline courtesy of the Epoch Times. The CDC has been tracking a “human metapneumovirus,” which causes symptoms similar to those of other respiratory viruses. Symptoms include cough, fever, and nasal congestion, and, unlike better-known respiratory viruses, HMPV does not have a vaccine or known treatments, the CDC stated. “There’s no specific treatment that’s … Read more
MACDONALD: The Price of a Cup of Coffee
I drink a lot of coffee, and I’ve been drinking it since I was six. I’ve told the story before. Both parents recovered alcoholics who helped alcoholics recover. Lots of AA meetings. Smoky rooms, free-flowing java from stainless steel industrial tanks (they look big when you’re six), with too much cream and sugar. I am … Read more
