Massachusetts just had another shot heard round the world. It’s in all the “papers,” but this time it is not in pursuit of liberty but its opposite. The Bay State just advanced a piece of legislation that would “limit” the number of miles you can drive your car, truck, SUV, etc., each year. An Act … Read more
Democrats have flirted with the idea of blaming Republicans for soaring electricity prices. Massachusetts wrecking ball Maura Healey gave it a whirl, but she wasn’t the best poster girl for the campaign. Her energy priorities haven’t just spiked electric rates; they are economically untenable. There isn’t enough money in all of New England to achieve … Read more
We’re seven days into 2026, and you’ve probably already bailed on most or all of your resolutions unless one of them was to look at more memes! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more

That weird-ass, creepy, Marxist, freak Tim Walz has succumbed to the weight of his own incompetence or indifference, or deliberate corruption (you decide), and dropped his re-election bid. The Governor of Somalia in America, likely under significant pressure from Democrats, has done what Biden should have done sooner. He has realized or been convinced that … Read more
New Hampshire Public Radio hasn’t vanished yet, so it appears there is an audience willing to support it. That’s how it should be. Taxpayers ought not be required to fund right-wing “radio, either, or its internet side gig, ANY alleged slanted reporting, or goofy, misleading NHPR headlines like this one. Republicans will try again to … Read more
One of the glorious joys of free-market capitalism is the ability of individuals to find solutions to problems, especially those the government creates, while tying its own hands to one damn thing to address it. Squatters, for example, find homes unoccupied either as rentals, vacation homes, or just a one where residents went on vacation. … Read more
Over the weekend, President Trump instructed the meme-o-sphere to create Maduro and Venezuela memes. We have a few. More are coming. While we wait, here’s what we have on tap for today. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Some people hate Cloudflare. Our hosting company uses it, and for the most part, it is transparent, working quickly in the background to do what it does. We also have firewalls at multiple levels to protect the digital assets. GraniteGrok “experiences something like seven million attacks a day or more. Some days you can double … Read more
You can pay more if you want to. We’ve got stores hereabouts that’ll take 4-5 dollars a dozen for eggs, but they always did that. The Biden printing press inflation/spending machine drove the cost of everything up. Who was it that lost their mind when they found out a pound of butter was over seven … Read more
Overnight, the US military escorted Federal law enforcement into Caracas, Venezuela, to arrest Nicolás Maduro. By all accounts, the effort (mission) was flawless. As to the constitutionality, there will be questions. Maduro has had an arrest warrant out for years, so using the military to protect law enforcement, to collect him, in a foreign nation, … Read more
It is not lost on anyone anymore that when Democrats use the word affordable in front of any other word, it means subsidized money laundering into Democrat campaigns. And not to kick a dead donkey, but I’ve been more than clear about how and why Democrats don’t have a clue how to do it any … Read more
If EVs are your thing, then by all means, just not with my money, and you need to be honest about how not that green they are. The same applies to wind and solar. I’m not against them, though you might get that impression from the hundreds of pieces I’ve written reporting on how bad … Read more
We’re already two days deep into 2026, and maybe you’ve already had enough or you’re just getting started. Either way, you’re gonna need memes, and we’re here to make sure that you have them. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
After the October 7th attacks on Israel and Israel’s fully justified military response, the usual suspects lost their hive mind. College Campuses showed their hate and intolerance by protesting in the name of a group of people who, by most accounts, support Hamas by a margin of 80 to 20. More than 80% of “Palestinians” … Read more
For twenty years, GraniteGrok has been offering opinions, observations, and reporting stories the media either ignore or would never report from “that angle.” Many of these stories are the result of tips and leads from readers. We platform people who go where Handmaid media won’t go, and offer news and opinion that aren’t beholden to … Read more
The UN and its bits and pieces are what happens when human nature has unconstrained access to virtue signaling and other people’s money. Its purpose, like many NGOs and non-profits of the progressive hue (see also Somali-run “care” agencies), is to fund itself and its growing ‘staff.’ It’s a crime family using legal means to … Read more
Welcome to the last midweek memes of 2025, and yes, the last meme post of 2025. No worries. It’s memes, and when Friday, January 2nd rolls around, and you are still shaking off your hangover (or not), we’ll have more memes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Whenever people who have access to power or influence (that includes money) insist that you do not need certain basic skills, you should be suspicious. If they tell you that reading, math, language skills, especially the primary language of the nation in which you live, is racist, discriminatory, or – in today’s example – a … Read more
I can’t say for how long Somali fraud schemes will dominate searches in the real world. That would be, ironically, the internet world, which can tend to be more surreal than real. The supposed media isn’t doing any heavy lifting on these stories if they lift anything at all. Locally, WMUR, News 9, has zero … Read more
