Unaffordability would be the goal, as well as an increasing scarcity in jobs, wages, benefits, and capital to pay for all the promises the “tax the rich” lunatics promised. They never sell it like that, nor do they know the waste, fraud, and corruption inherent in their project, which is why they need more money … Read more
Those of us wallowing in the muck are well aware of what will happen if Democrats take control of the Federal Government, but not everyone has the time or the constitution to do that. Modern politics frays at the very fiber of humanity, and if you are not careful, you end up a progressive divorced … Read more
If you allow or encourage mental illness, you will get more of it. When glorified, as has been done by the political left, you get a lot more. For good measure, classes on how to become mentally ill have propagated in the curricula at buildings doing business as taxpayer-funded schools, resulting in a tidal wave … Read more
Trump’s great, but most folks can’t see it, and the further toward the left you go, the worse the TDS gets. But the guy is an Energizer Bunny with a plan and a vision, and if we cna hang on to the midterms, even he will find a way to make a deal with Congress … Read more
After we switched hosting companies, the newsletter got hung up for a few days. I started to receive it again, but not everyone did. I’m not yet clear on why that is. It’s always something, right? If you were receiving it and no longer are, please check your spam folder to ensure it’s not there. … Read more
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
