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
New Hampshire’s education funding mess keeps getting messier. The state Constitution doesn’t appear to allow any lawful mechanism for collecting taxes to fund public schools. We reported on it, and it has sparked a wave of abatements, but the Legislature doesn’t appear to be in the mood to fix it, since the courts have done … Read more
Welcome to another Wednesday, and one too many days since the last meme installment. We know. The opinion and punditry are nice, and it is good to have a place where you can find op-eds and reporting no one else has, but where are the memes? Right here, my friend. They’re right here. . . … Read more
If you don’t know what an AWFL is, it stands for Angry White Female Liberal. We all know one or of one, because they can’t shut up. These “ladies” are the top of the spear for almost every left-wing “street action” product. Don’t want your kids reading groomer porn? There’s an AWFL, or more likely … Read more
Some of you will have experienced a handful of different connection issues in the past week. We are also still dealing with Cloudflare issues, which is embedded by the hosting company and not local to GraniteGrok, blocking up to 30% of our traffic. Multiple arduous sessions with support have not fixed this, and I have … Read more
After a snowy weekend in New England and a Patriots Win! at Gillette Stadium against the Texans, down in snowy Foxboro, what better way to start the week than with…memes? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
In January of 2022, the Earth witnessed the highest volcanic plume ever recorded by humans (at least with an internet connection). The underwater eruption released incalculable amounts of water vapor into the atmosphere, reaching as high as the mesosphere. Water vapor is the single most significant driver of warming on this planet, and without undue … Read more
It is not always possible to update, ammend or append stories as they evolve or new information becomes available. We’ve got so many that it isn’t always possible to recall what we wrote or find it. But they often evolve and change as new information becomes available. We’ve had to deal with two recently. The … Read more
If you were looking for some hot takes, look no further than Doug ‘Domestic Violence’ Emhoff and his cackling cohort, Kamala Harris. These people of the people, the defenders of the working class, just bought a multi-million dollar mansion in an exclusive Malibu neighborhood, which just happens to hug the coastline. Harris and her husband … Read more
My blushing Bride (of 32-years) and I were on our way to Market Basket (local grocery chain for the non-New England readers), and the recent week of warmer temps came up. Growing up in uppah-state New York, between Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes, every January, there was a week of warmer weather. Every year. … Read more
Welcome to the end of another week and the third Friday in January. The year is moving right along, and so are the memes. As I often do, but probably not enough, thank you to everyone who sends them to me. I do not have the time to hunt or gather them, so without those … Read more
Note: If your antivirus flags granitegrok.com, please email me so I can contact them and file a false flag report. First, if you do, I’d recommend canceling Norton Anti-Virus and getting something else. They are pricey, they constantly upsell, and it’s annoying. They have also flagged GraniteGrok.com as a Scam website. If you access GraniteGrok … Read more
No one reading these pages will likely be surprised by this, but I am not sharing it to breach some previously unknown territory. @TheLaurenChen shared an observation on X that seems obvious to anyone who has spent any amount of time paying any amount of attention to those nasty Libs. “The left doesn’t actually oppose … Read more
January is almost half over, and we are well into the new year, but the story remains the same. There are memes, and then there are memes. We’ve got memes. ‘Good’ memes. Maduro memes. Walz and Somali fraud memes. Go get em! . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Them ‘who,’ you wonder, and to be honest, it’s a very big ‘THEM.’ Yuge, to borrow from Mr. Trump. “Them” is the media, your health care providers, (possibly even) your dentist or your pet’s Vet, many of the websites you visit, your pharmacist, local so-called experts (public health and not), and a long list of … Read more
Concord, New Hampshire’s State Capitol, is, like many state capitols, mostly or entirely captured by the government class that accumulates to run the state. This often, if not always, results in a majority center-left constituency and a Democratic majority city government. So, why would they lie about the population to redistrict city wards? Because they … Read more
