If you missed it, Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess implicated former NH Governor Chris Sununu on the matter of Nongfu Springs’ purchase of land (to get water) adjacent to the Pennichuck water works in Nashua. He is alleged to have encouraged it, pursued it, and if you’re even the tiniest bit uppity (傲慢) about it, blame … Read more

After being spun off by NBC/Universal post-merger/buyout/ Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope, the future of MSNBC has been decided.
I call Mifepristone the chemical coathanger. It harkens back to the early days of Roe and the pro abortion lobby. They claimed we needed to legalize abortion to prevent dangerous back-alley abortions or troubled young women attempting to abort babies on their own. The coat hanger became the symbol of self-harm. These days, it is … Read more
New Hampshire’s Democrats, the ones who show up for primaries at least, have a thing for far-left nutjobs. They belong in Vermont, truth be told, where they have political “parties” to the left of the already far-left Democrats. They belong there, because some of them came here from there. And when Vermont sends one here … Read more
As predicted, Tropical Storm Erin escalated quickly into a hurricane and then rapidly to a Category 5 hurricane. The Climate Marxists were dancing in their crime-laden, poop stained, needle-littered streets. Look! Cat 5, like so fast, it’s global Warming! YOU DID THIS TO ME! Be sure you shout it using your best Ren Hoek impersonation. … Read more
Pharmaceutical Companies and their friends in the media are stressing out some more about public confidence in vaccines. That RFK Jr. guy and the folks running the agencies he oversees keep chattering about drug safety. Ensuring the “vaccines” they make do something close to what is advertised with little or no harm. The vax or … Read more
A handful of stories are lined up on my browser tabs—two dozen tops. They are links people have sent me or things I’ve tripped over that caught my internet eye (after I tripped over it). Most will end up getting closed, but a few cling bitterly to my browser, hoping for life on ‘Grok’s pages. … Read more
You’ve probably heard the story already. A Chinese company spends four times the asking price to get access to facilities and a significant source of fresh water in Southern New Hampshire. Pennichuk in Nashua supplies water to the towns that surround it. It is a substantial source of water in the area. We also have … Read more
If August 17th is your birthday, you share it with me. Some on the left will be horrified to discover we share a birthday, but what will horrify them more is if you give a gift to ‘Grok on this last day of our donation matching fundraiser. Funding GraniteGrok means we continue to provide a … Read more
Those familiar with the slippery slope series have kept up with my years of observation and commentary on the question of state-sanctioned assisted suicide. At its simplest, the only obligation a state might have is to ensure contracts with health care and insurers are honored in these circumstances. The bills are paid and survivors get … Read more
Yesterday, we reported on irregularities with the Timberlane School District election (March 11, 2025), in Plaistow, where activists discovered issues with properly securing completed ballots (among other things). From that same election, we not so proudly bring you the school Fuster Cluck in Danville, New Hampshire. In summary, the locals responsible for ensuring election integrity … Read more
The Trump Administration just froze nearly $600 million in federal grants to UCLA for failing to address antisemitism on Campus. The announcement was made after the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a July 29 statement that UCLA violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act … Read more
Welcome to the end of the traditional work week, though many of our readers may be of the sort that have to work on weekends. Been there, done that. I spent many years in occupations where weekends were just workdays, but running ‘Grok is a 7 days a 7-day-a-week, 365-day-a-year, no days off, no vacations … Read more
Last year, we invested no small amount of time and space, thanks to the hard work of citizens who care more about election integrity than many towns or the state, exposing ballot chain of custody issues. If you recall, improperly sealed boxes and problems with the procedure for applying tamperproof tape received some attention. The … Read more
There is growing excitement about the possibility that President Donald Trump, who has been nominated by a growing list of world leaders, could win the Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. Trump has been actively involved in trying to spread Peace. He is anti-interventionist, for the most part. And he is, realistically, the only guy who seems … Read more
Inflation is low and steady at 1.9%. Wages went up again in June (1.3%). Energy and food prices are down. Private sector employment is up. If you have a 401K, annuity, or other market-based investment, it is likely doing well, which is good news for retirees and union pension funds, and states and municipalities with … Read more

I also shared the news at The Right Of Center Meeting this morning, followed by some emailing and ad dropping around the site. Support Independent Media – Please Donate to … Read more
As an update to my comments on this week’s GrokTALK!, memes are getting a more thorough vetting, but we’re still sharing them. And since it’s Wednesday, and with few exceptions, meme makers want them shared, here we go! But first… . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
