Senate Republicans Use Preemption Law Fix to Make Matters Worse. After the 2024 elections resulted in a Republican Supermajority in the NH State Senate, I was hopeful the extra numbers might offset the typical asinine behavior of the caucus. Sure, a Democrat majority Senate is never something you want, but a Republican Majority Senate is … Read more

Tales abound of normal people fleeing blue states to escape a laundry list of ills. Taxes, illegals, crime, homelessness, drugs, gangs, taxes, regulations, fraud, democrats, taxes, did I miss any? I did. All that COVID crap they pulled moved a small mountain of people, belongings, and U-Hauls from Blue States to Red States. But you … Read more
The handmaiden media would have been tripping over itself if the U Wash Women’s College Soccer Team had run a bunch of U14 boys ragged on the pitch. If you’re wondering why we’re still waiting for that story, it’s because adult human females continue to lose to barely past puberty, boys’ teams – at least … Read more
Eversource is looking to replace 49 miles of transmission capacity in “western New Hampshire,” and it’s got the Maine Office of the Public Advocate all bent out of shape about shared costs. If you don’t know who they are, The Office of the Public Advocate’s primary responsibility is to represent the interests of Maine utility … Read more
If you haven’t seen the 1991 Steve Martin film, LA Story, this isn’t about that, so no need for spoiler alerts. Amusing film, though, and worth a watch; it makes fun of 1990s LA, which is to say it makes fun of LA, and there isn’t enough of that, so here’s some more. It starts … Read more
Republican Governors in New Hampshire like to veto bills that have anything to do with men in women’s safe spaces unless it’s to pass a law allowing it. That was Chris Sununu. HB1319. A bill we were more or less told he’d never sign. Three years later, Sununu would be crowned the Sun-King for his … Read more

The Democrats have been very clear about what will happen if they win in November. They will go to war. Pro-Tip: They will go to war if they lose, but if they lose, you have a much better chance of winning across every political issue, for years or decades to come, and if you hadn’t … Read more
Effective this week, I have tweaked the podcast programming/schedule. I have tried to deliver some local content every night of the week, but a few changes are in order. I like providing an outlet for that material, but if my readers and viewers aren’t interested, I’m obligated to replace it with content they do want. … Read more
The Dems’ establishment meat puppet to replace the retiring meat puppet (Jeanne Shaheen) is Chris Sock-Puppet Pappas. If elected, he will resume the pointless exercise of serving as one of Washington, DC’s ambassadors to New Hampshire. Another Democrat, “from” a region of the nation with plenty of Republicans but none in Congress. Sock Puppet Pappas … Read more

The DC Sound Machine has coughed up yet another hairball. Apparently, former President Obama makes a trip inside the beltway each week to give marching orders to Democrats. Not a surprise. We knew Obama people were herded in to surround Braindead Joe Biden. That Obama, or at least those Obama-adjacent, were responsible for most if … Read more
Ward Clark, writing at Red State, reminds us that “The primary purpose of government is to protect the liberty and property of the citizens.” If you asked 100 randos on any American street corner how many would even come close to that? Depends on the street corner, I suppose, but the closer you get to … Read more
The Commies in Burlington, Vermont, have been trying to ban guns for years, and so we’re clear, I mean, guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens. Criminals will still carry, and that’s the truth, but this is Burlington, where the truth is what they say it is, and the excuse they came up with to … Read more

You’re always going to run into deadbeats, no matter what you do, and one way we generate revenue around here (and thus attract the potential for more of them) is by publishing sponsored content for a small fee. A post about something with backlinks which the agency or freelancer pays GraniteGrok to publish. If you … Read more
It’s not huge news but following recent content on a potential shift away from four-year schools toward trades and other learning investments, it adds some weight to the argument. What argument? The progressive university laundromat is falling on tough times. Exchanging massive debt for a useless degree and no real-world skills is losing its appeal. … Read more
Democrats thought DOGE was a threat to the System? It was and still is. It didn’t go anywhere. The same tech is in use for other means, and that probably includes the new anti-fraud initiative ordered by Trump and led by JD Vance. The NGO fraud was bad, and there’s plenty more of that. ACT … Read more
You might be able to pass it off as another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Or the progressive knee-jerk reaction that requires them to want the opposite of anything and everything the Trump Administration promotes. Pregnant women should be careful with Tylenol, as it might affect their unborn baby. That’s them, so when Secretary Kennedy … Read more
