No one knows for certain how many unaccompanied minors crossed Kamala’s porous border, but the numbers range from 300,000 to 500,000. That’s a big spread, but you should accept that this is based on what they think they know, and they don’t know what they don’t know. How many more were trafficked without eyes on? We … Read more
When you go to the hospital or submit yourself for a procedure, you get lots of forms to sign. Patient Bill of Rights, consent to the procedure, but do you read them, all of them? Those sneaky bastards are allegedly slipping things into the wording of that consent that authorize them to inject you with … Read more
Welcome to the Friday meme thing, our weekly dump of the excess memes collected throughout the week by a group of persistent, if not obsessed, meme hunters, without which, these amusements would be impossible. Thanks to them and to you for checking them out! . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Today, on the morning update, Jake Sullivan’s wife, the carpetbagging congresswoman from NH CD-2, just asked the US military not to follow the illegal and unlawful orders. Talk about low-hanging fruit. The links I forgot to include: Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent those of Grok Media, LLC, GraniteGrok.com, its sponsors, readers, … Read more
Given that our readers pay attention to such things, you may have already heard, but WaPo blew another gasket (I hope they have that special “repair” insurance for that recurring problem). Tesla, whose vehicles they were happy to watch burn eleven months ago, has offered its founder a trillion-dollar ten-year thing. The gazillionaire innovator will … Read more
Several high-profile acts of vehicular manslaughter have captured more of the nation’s attention. Tractor-trailer drivers, negligence, foreign drivers who can’t read English, one of the drunk, and multiple fatalities. Who knew? I suppose we should have. OTRs are the primary source of logistics for moving goods. There has been a driver shortage for years. One … Read more
If I’ve said it once, the saying goes, Democrats break things, then create more government to “fix” them, and they keep doing it if you let them, but nothing gets fixed. In fact, it all gets worse. Sometimes these broken things collide, breaking more things, which is an exponential win for progressive policy. Take the … Read more
This week on midweek memes…hold your breath…we’ve got memes! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Not for nothin’ but our contributors have included doctors, lawyers, business owners, scientists, education experts, parents advocates, folks fighting for girls and women’s rights, engineers, experts on the Middle East, Biologists who know what a woman is, lawyers (several), and many a veteran from every form of service except space force. We’ve had homeschool moms, … Read more
Whether you view the election as a win for Islam or not, the conquest of the West continues. Build a mosque. Use its cultural center to expand influence outward. Take cultural and then political control – politics, if you recall, is downstream from culture. America has more than a few places where Sharia is law, … Read more
Welcome to Monday memes and a new week (and a new featured image), along with your usual dose of start-the-week, love, help-me-get-through-the-day memes! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
My attraction to the left’s obsession with “climate chaos” is derived from two fundamental truths. First, it is based on ridiculously unscientific “science.” Low-hanging fruit, if you prefer. For example, the notion of consensus is opposed to what science is—the endless testing and evaluation of conventions in pursuit of truth. The moment a majority of … Read more
While we wait for Democrats to explain why they didn’t give a rat’s ass about sex trafficking of minor girls when they had the chance to release all those “Epstein Files,” let’s consider another lifestyle choice they can’t bring themselves to oppose – Muslims and Islam, which emulates its dear leader, who enshrined the notion of child-brides … Read more
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting 9CPB) has been defunded for several weeks now, and the world didn’t end. NPR and PBS continue with their programming, but for how long? CPB, which laundered tax dollars to the achaic and no longer necessary offspring, is decruting and at some point its offices, like those of USAID, will … Read more
We’ve received another sign that there is still hope for a revocation of the Gulf of Maine Offshore Wind project. Development of an offshore wind farm south of Nantucket had been halted, thanks to a ruling by a federal judge. The reasoning behind the nod is one we’ve shared before that applies to the lease … Read more
Epidemic Obesity is getting attention from both sides of the problem. I stumbled accross this Fox News has an article titled, “America’s fattest states revealed — and how Ozempic is changing the map.” A Pennsylvania health analytics company, Purple Lab, analyzed prescription records for synthetic GLP-1 products by state. GLP1 is a natural hormone that helps … Read more
One of my offspring sauntered into the kitchen this morning and asked if I’d heard about the latest Epetein outrage. I asked, Which one. He said that when Democrats released two emails that allegedly implicated Donald Trump, after which Republicans released twenty thousand pages of emails. He thought it was funny, and while he is … Read more
The Government is open again, despite the Democrats who closed it trying to keep it that way, which sort of kind of messes with the who shut it down in the first place narrative. It was never Republicans. They didn’t have any demands. No hostages. And to add insult to injury, Democrats who screamed about … Read more
Welcome to the end of the week and another pile of memes. Lots-o-memes, memes-a-plenty, a cornucopia of memes, a Friday meme thing for your consideration and, potentially (hopefully), your enjoyment as well as a sad goodbye to shutdown memes. And yes, I’m messing around with a more permanent featured image. Please be patient. . . … Read more
