I did not know that the Island of Rhode has a Free College program called Rhode Island Promise. It is available through the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI). You need to be a Rhode Island Resident, a high school graduate (includes homeschoolers), and under the age of 19.
But according to the CCRI Faculty Association President Steve Murray, “I wouldn’t call RI Promise a success or a good use of the taxpayer’s money.”
The big news that doesn’t have the words Kavanaugh or Ford in it, is a declaration by the United Nations International Court of Justice. It claims that planned U.S. Sanctions on the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism are illegal and that they must ease them. Why? A 1955 Treaty with Iran.
The Trump administration’s response. We’re terminating the treaty.
Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell has issued a statement on his Senate Website. The nomination process is moving forward. He has been moved out of committee to the floor and he means to have a vote. Then he makes some time to talk about the Democrats and the circus they created. It makes for an … Read more
Some anonymous person sent emails to elected officials in the NH Legislature regarding student voters implying they can not register to vote in our state. The NH AG is investigating.

In a discussion on assessing 100 years of communism, Carlos Eire a Yale history and religious studies professor and an immigrant from communist Cuba said, “it is possible to speak of communism…as a religion” and one “governed by bad theology.” In the “unforgiving” communist religion, Eire posited, the “oligarchy becomes the priesthood,” and the government becomes … Read more
If you aren’t planning to vote in November I hope you like higher taxes – spent on things like other people’s sex change operations. 97% of New Hampshire Democrats voted to spend your money on other people’s sex change operations. They also voted to allow sex change operations for minors. Is that how you want … Read more
While everyone has been distracted by the circus in the Senate, the president has been doing what he said he’d do. Getting better deals for America with our Trading partners. President Donald Trump on Monday hailed the 11th-hour trade deal struck between the United States, Mexico, and Canada to replace the quarter-century old NAFTA accord, … Read more
The Kavanaugh Circus orchestrated, planned, and deployed to destroy Brett Kavanaugh may prove to be the very thing Republicans needed to get out and vote in November. Kimberly Morin, our resident Independent, who is not shy about calling out spineless Republicans, has sounded the siren call too. “…it is IMPERATIVE that the American people understand … Read more
Did you know that September is “better breakfast” month? What if you don’t eat breakfast? It is the month of 10 different observances or awareness campaigns and 11 foods. They are Bourbon, wine, chicken, honey, mushrooms – which together sound like an appetizer at any number of restaurants trying to up their foodie cred. September is … Read more
Sen. Grassley extended an invitation to bring the entire Senate Judiciary committee, staff and all, to California, to hear Dr. Ford’s testimony in private. Wherever and whenever she chose. The offer was made to her lawyer.
So why was she dragged across the country to sit front and center for the media circus?
The question answers itself.
Democrats in the U.S. Senate are sending you a message. The college campus tactics of guilty until proven innocent have been elevated to nominees for the highest court in the land. That means that if you were to accidentally stumble in front of one of their Social Justice Equity-mobiles they would run you down like (we’re … Read more
The latest iteration of GraniteGrok.com is up and running. We’ll admit that we were going to wait a few more days, but something happened on 2.0 that made us wonder if that site, an old style with old security, had been compromised. We opted to go live and debug on the fly. Now that we … Read more
Angry, violent leftists (that’s redundant) are promising to be angry and violent if they don’t get their way.
One Twitter user, claiming to be a member of the far-left militia organization, Redneck Revolt, quote tweeted (archived here) Emily saying that he “didn’t join Redneck revolt for no reason”, the implication of course being that he is “down” for armed political violence.
[Update 2] Disqus is now operational. The mobile version still needs formatting. The Hot on the Grok section needs work. We have a few other tweaks and some bigger backend tricks to work out but it’s all coming together. [Update] Disqus Comment system did not come along with the rest of the site so it’s not connected yet. … Read more
Not that long ago the Democrat Mayor of Berlin, New Hampshire announced that the domestic abuse survivor of State Sen. Jeff Woodburn was not his female victim. It was Jeff Woodburn, the accused.
If only Woodburn were a nominee for the Supreme court, eh? We’d see buttons that say I believe “insert name here.” But the cabal of political insiders we’ve been discussing do not think so. Their champion is not the woman; it’s the great big, white guy who outweighs his alleged victim by 100 pounds and wait until you hear the latest.
If you aren’t planning to vote in November I hope you like higher taxes. From 2011 to 2018 98% of New Hampshire Democrats voted for an income tax (2012 CACR13, 2018 HB628). 97% of Democrats voted for higher gas taxes (2013 HB617, 2014 SB367, 2011 SB78, 2015 HB591). Democrats voted for higher business taxes and lots of other taxes.
But there’s a way to stop your taxes from going up.
The AG’s office has issued an indictment against a UNH student for voting in two states in the 2016 election.
(Spencer) McKinnon, who identifies himself as a UNH student on his Facebook page, was indicted last week by a Strafford County grand jury, MacDonald’s office announced.
He is charged with knowingly voting twice in the Nov. 8, 2016, general election.
As American culture begins to deteriorate and results from every area of society continue to illustrate the lack of integrity within our culture, people ask the question, “Can’t we just unite and become a nation of one people?” That’s a noble request and one that I believe many American’s would very much like to see become a reality.
We live in an era where sexual promiscuity is promoted, embraced and encouraged. We live in an age where murdering the unborn is not only acceptable but brushed off as a non-issue; some even and laugh it off. The selling of baby body parts is occurring without regard for the dignity and life of the unborn child. We live in an era where God is disrespected and mocked. I’m actually shocked that adults don’t see why we can’t unite.
Ever since New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen predicted that Global Warming (they still called it that back then) would be the demise of New Hampshire’s tourism industry it has done exactly the opposite. Year after year the people who pay attention to such things have predicted record numbers. From leaf-peeping to beach-hopping, to winter-sports, to climbing mountains to taking in the Anthropo-“scenic” vistas.
The tide of tourism continues to rise. And look! This year is no different.
Using anecdotal evidence alone I’m going to guess that there is a significant crossover on the Left among animal rights activists and abortion supporters. Liberals are so hypocritical this has to be true. Humans are animals, but animals are in danger because of humans; so killing human animals in the womb is good for animals.
So what will they make of this?
The Trump Administration just canceled a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contract that obtained fresh fetal tissue (from abortions) for transplant into rodents to make humanized-mice for medical research.
