A group called the New Hampshire School Funding Fairness Project got an idiot judge to rule that New Hampshire’s funding of special education is constitutionally insufficient. This echoes the Claremont rulings and Con Val, all of which are themselves unconstitutional demands by a branch of government with zero authority to speak on the issue. Courts … Read more
In the wake of a rise in teacher firings (for celebrating a public execution), the Massachusetts Teachers Association is demanding that districts and colleges defend their educators. “The ongoing campaign by extreme-right conservatives to discredit and defund public education has grotesquely exploited the shooting death of Charlie Kirk to launch attacks against people commenting on … Read more
Welcome to week 39 of 2025, week 35 of the Trump presidency (it’s only been 35 weeks), and it is, of course, another Monday, which means memes. Not too many. About thirty. We want to ease you into the week, but enough to get your meme-week jump-started. . . . . . . . . … Read more
Happy Monday morning campers, today we take a short walk down a long pier, mis-named doxxing, and the case of Rochester REpublican State Rep Sam Ferrington’s X account. Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent those of Grok Media, LLC, GraniteGrok.com, its sponsors, readers, authors, or advertisers. Got Something to Say, We Want … Read more
In case you missed it, a business owner named Kaili Lamb took to social media after Charlie Kirk was murdered to share her thoughts in the moment. “Sorry, not sorry what a (expletive) douche.” Before she could take it back, “…Lamb’s post quickly went viral — sparking outrage and prompting a flood of negative reviews … Read more
Democrats got pissy (by which I mean the Handmaiden media) when the Federal agency tasked with public health safety rejected a combo-vaccine because, based on their expert opinion, the way we’ve been doing it was safer. The MMRV combo is still acceptable for kids four years and older, but based on the available research, they … Read more

At least one man was shot in the face, while another man suffered a laceration to the arm.” One suspect is still at large. “EMTs … Read more
Democrats in the Deep State did a lot of naughty things when it came to shutting down free speech, especially during the pandemic. But now, because of something Trump or his FC implied, Congressional Dems are rushing forward with a bill that would have prevented everything the Biden Admin did or tried to get away with … Read more
Another Friday end-of-the-week thing means another Friday meme thing, with thanks (as always) to the cadre of meme hunters and gatherers who make this massive Friday meme thing possible. How many? More than fifty and less than one hundred. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
The untimely demise of Turning Point USA’s CEO has created a wealth of fertile ground. Charlie’s passing has energized the world to step up and speak out in favor of free speech. While not a big deal in the United States, no other nation in the world has our First Amendment. So-called western Democracies are … Read more
The sort-of, kind-of fallout has begun to settle from AG Pam Bondi’s remarks about prosecuting hate speech. It’s been a few days, an interminable amount of internet time, and other mausements are bound to distract. No one’s talking about the war in Ukraine, for example, so if Bondi can manage not to attract attention, the … Read more
In case you missed the memo, Memphis, Tennessee, one of the Left’s many crime capitals, is getting a deployment of National Guardsmen to help with the out-of-control criminal element. Memphis, if you forgot, is where five brown cops beat brown Tyre Nichols to death in 2023. In 2024, the two-toned Biden Administration declared that the … Read more
More memes? How could that be? I know, but they keep pouring in, and we have to do something with them, so lucky you. Here are forty or so memes to get you over the hump. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Attorney General Pam Bondi has had a few missteps as the nation’s top cop, but that’s to be expected. It’s a big stage, a big job, and given how the Trump Administration is taking on the largest pruning of the Federal Kudzu beast ever attempted, there are lots of legal things that would find their … Read more
If you live in New England, and maybe this is true everywhere, you can’t trust the weather forecast more than a day or two out. The joke in the northeast is that if you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes. And it’s all fun and games until you talk about climate change – by … Read more
The UK media is a few cans short of a six-pack. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer? Has a few loose screws. But they’ve got a lot of company. The institutional media is top-heavy with virtue signaling idiots, but the UK press has to be a lot more careful. In England, they arrest you, … Read more
Welcome to the Monday after a bizarre and unpleasant week that took a surprisingly positive turn. The world, as they say, goes on, but not unchanged, it would seem, and that includes people, groups, nations, and memes. . . . . . . . . . Monday is our “lite” meme day (only about thirty). … Read more
Free speech needs protecting, but we have to accept that it is not absolute. It is also critical to grasp, as a reminder, that private entities are not bound by it. Actual defamation is not protected, nor is demonstrable incitement to violence. This last bit is crucial as regards the celebratory social updates, as well … Read more
Numerous polls and studies and research and you know the deal, have come out over the past fifteen years, telling us “college students” oppose free speech. Many still do, and often believe violence is a suitable means for silencing opposing political speech. It’s not very American of them. The founding fathers would likely have them … Read more
If you have apples and oranges, no sensible person will try to tell you neither of them is a fruit, but neither can either one be the other. An apple cannot be an orange, nor an orange an apple. This does not prevent someone from claiming otherwise, but the claim does not make it so. … Read more
