Democrat Rep. Sherry Frost says dumb things all the time on Twitter. Like, “Now the GOP is saying they need their guns because law enforcement is under no obligation to protect us. The Good Guy with a gun fantasy is strong with these folks.”

“Republican” Jim Rubens Sponsors House Party for Democrat Running for President
Under cover of listening and productive debate (sometimes candidate/Republican), Jim Rubens is holding a House party. He’d like you to meet Maryland Democrat John Delaney. Delany is running for President and according to Rubens, we need to keep our options open. Left-center is not my politics. But the need for big-picture solutions is now so … Read more

Record Rainfall in 2018 – And They Scoffed When I Said New Hampshire is Getting Wetter
The Koch brothers are not paying me to oppose the goofy Climate Cult in New Hampshire. I do it because progressives are using weather to socialize government. I share my observations to keep Climate Confidence schemers out of my pockets. Yours too. So, when I wrote (during New Hampshire’s “CO2 driven” Man-made drought) that the state … Read more
Proposed Housing Appeals Board Would Rob NH Residents of Local Control
There’s no better place to begin a discussion of the new legisaltive year than a bill designed to shift power away from locals to the “experts” in the State Capitol.

The Dem’s Pasty White Slate in the Granite State
Bernie Sanders hasn’t formally announced for 2020. But he’s already got a ground game in place. It makes sense for the aging communist to run again. Liz Warren has already announced her pre-announcement. She’s running. With both trying to occupy the same ideological space this early in the race I’m calling it the pasty White Slate … Read more
Pat Sajak’s New ‘Name’ For CNN
Pat Sajak has taken the age-old practice of attributing suitable words to the initials CNN and come up with a winner. A habit we’ve participated in here to some degree. Clinton News Network. Counterfeit News Network. There are others. But Sajak nails it. This is brilliant.
More Women’s Marches Cancelled
The Women’s March used women. Partisan Trump-hating hypocrites took advantage of them. It was never about equality for all women. It was about equity for some women and hatred for others. And a program that was destined to collapse under the weight of its own hypocrisy.

2017 Top Post at GraniteGrok: The vitriolic hatred from NH Democrats MUST END before someone gets hurt
Democrats project their hatred on the Right while claiming the banner of civility. Anyone paying any attention knows this. But that’s no excuse not to remind you.

But a Latino winning a presidential primary (or caucus) didn’t break any glass anythings if they … Read more

2015’s Number One Post: “NH Democrats Put a Price-tag on Rape”
In 2015 the most commented on post was an article titled “NH Democrats Put a Price-tag on Rape.” The point of the article was that at least one prominent Leftist’s opposition to a woman’s constitutional right to self-defense hinged on revenue generated from pistol revolver licenses. 2015 Top Post: NH Democrats Put a Price-tag on Rape If … Read more
