Term limits are not a new notion. Career politicians are, without a doubt, the worst possible outcome. In fact, I’ve said more than once that paying them is a mistake. Every time a legislature tries to give itself a raise, or more benefits, or any income at all, my advice is no. New Hampshire pays … Read more
Warner Brothers/Discovery will, at some point soon, but not yet certain, become the property of Paramount/Skydance. If and when the latter proposes having Bari Weiss expand her CBS News Editorial oversight to include CNN. Weiss is, of course, the former NYT Reporter who tried to commit actual journalism and discovered how Monica Lewinsky and Tara … Read more
Karmelo Anthony admitted to stabbing Austin Metcalf to death (“I’m not alleged; I did it”), and people are outraged that he’s going to jail for that. The self-defense “defense” didn’t hold up. Death by stabbing after being pushed is considered excessive use of force. As in, couldn’t you have stabbed him someplace else? Or, how … Read more
Not to beat a dead horse, but the “government” has no obligation to protect you. None. No matter what the proglodytes say about public safety, no one has to protect you. Heck, they don’t even have to figure out who attacked or killed you. There’s no right to either, but they don’t tell you that … Read more
There are a number of current issues bouncing about in the public domain that are actually either democrat party talking points, foreign influence operations, or both. Most are both, since they share the same agenda. Stop Trump, Make America Weak Again (MAWA), and put us back on the slippery slope of globalist control. ATM to … Read more
Reminder: Memes are memes and are neither vetted nor “fact-checked” nor to be considered “research,” or taken seriously, nor do they (necessarily) represent the opinion of Grok Media, LLC, GraniteGrok.com, its sponsors, readers, authors, or advertisers, even if they make the proglodytes cry like little girls or pitch fits like overstimulated toddlers. Got a meme you want us … Read more
Since 1991, Vermont’s only member of the US House of Representatives has been either a socialist who couldn’t run as one (until now) or a Democrat (same difference). It has one district, the entire State of Vermont. You can’t gerrymander that. And despite its open borders and sanctuary city-like leanings, the state is still 93% … Read more
Gender affirming care is one of those left-wing-isms. Without thought or study, you might say, well, a urologist does that for men, and a gynecologist does that for women. No one reading this thinks that is what they mean, but the word “care” is what truly misleads, and “affirming” is completely out of context. You … Read more
Breaking news. A UK Supermarket chain is racist. Yes. Sainsbury’s, a dominant retail outfit in the UK that runs just under 1,500 locations (plus a few hundred others under different names), is banning brown eggs. All I can think to say is White Egg Supremacy. What’s next, swastikas and goose-stepping? Maybe. Their stated rationale for … Read more

Democrats hate women. I’ve written quite a lot about that. Much the way they hate minorities- I mean, look what they did to them? From one plantation to another and trapping them on the public dole is hardly compensation for wrecking their families, killing their babies (abortion, drugs, crime), while framing even a basic education … Read more
Seattle, the city, has become a crazy homeless person. I know, Seattle, again, yes. Every poster child for democrat rule needs to have its dirty laundry aired so the so-called middle, filled with moderate, independent voters, understands. There’s no coming back from what Democrats will do and ignore what they say because there are numerous … Read more
You are endowed by your Creator with certain unalienable rights. They cannot be specific to you or your tribe. As enumerated, they do not provide for location exceptions. No matter where you live, or what you look like, or who you love, you have rights the government may not infringe. Rights that government exists to … Read more

People who claim they don’t like it when other people have guns should not be allowed to use the tax dollars of people they disarm to pay for armed guards. I don’t know; that just seems like a reasonable request to me. Pay for it yourself. I mean, if you are such a gift to … Read more
Two recent themes just collided in what passes for my headspace and blog-space. New York, which attracts attention because I lived there for the younger part of my life. The first thirty years, minus a few. I had the good sense to bail back in 1990, and I’ve lived in New Hampshire for the past … Read more
What makes a Bare Minimum Book different? They’re intentionally short. No filler. No 300-page padding. Each book focuses on a single important idea and follows it wherever it leads. Most people finish one in a sitting — then think about it for days afterward. Four of the current nineteen titles. In July, Granite Grok supporters … Read more
Way back when, GraniteGrok had a digital subscription to the Union Leader. For non-Granite Staters, this is the state’s largest (as in most widely circulated) daily print newspaper. Many years ago, it was the nation’s most conservative daily newspaper, but after William Loeb died, it modernized but didn’t change too much journalistically, not until after … Read more
Are you familiar with the term “offsets”? It is a consideration or amount that diminishes or balances the effect of a contrary one. It is also the amount or distance by which something is “out of line.” For the past forty years, give or take, the word has been used in place of “indulgence.” “A … Read more
One of the foundational points, in my mind, of convincing people you are like everyone else is that you don’t need to ask for or have others advocate for increased taxpayer support for you. Any taxpayer support. Normal means you are a tax benefit, and if you are in Seattle, the normal taxpayer pays lots … Read more
