Renewable energy, so-called because it attempts to capture natural resources and convert them into electricity, is neither cheap, scalable, nor climate-friendly. They will never be affordable because the material needed to make them isn’t, and the decommission costs are ugly, both economically and environmentally. Renewable portfolios force generators to include them in the mix, driving … Read more
The New Hampshire School Boards Association (NHSBA), the notorious creator of numerous combative and corrosive anti-parent policies often adopted by school districts across New Hampshire, recently held a presentation. To summarize, it is the board’s position (not so much policy) that school board members abrogate their First Amendment Rights so that parents and taxpayers don’t … Read more
Minnesota Democrats are making life unaffordable for everyone in the State, it seems, unless you open a learning center. But even that gig has come under fire as Federal fraud investigations look for the nine billion that disappeared up Minnesota’s skirt while Tim Walz was gushing over how great China is, and we know why? … Read more

This coming Wednesday, I will publish the 150th installment of the Morning Update. I started it on September 18th, 2025, on a whim, and a strong personal and professional need to 1) get better at doing off-the-cuff video shots, and 2) to increase our presence in the space. I opened with, ” Don’t get used … Read more
Thanks to AI and people with nothing better to do, it has become virtually impossible to believe anything you see on the internet. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. The response to COVID led tens of millions of people to adopt a healthy distrust of experts and the politicians (few of whom are good … Read more
When RFKJ fired the entire ACIP panel, all 17 so-called independent “experts,” the Left lost its mind. When RFKJ replaced them with different experts (the wrong kind), the hive mind didn’t like that either; they lost some more (what little they had to spare), found some lawyers, sued, and got a judge to say RFKJ … Read more
The Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy has been kind enough to allow us to share its content for more than a decade when it interests us. We may not always agree, but that is not a barrier to sharing it. The point is to debate and to occasionally bend conservatarian light to shine on … Read more
Once Again Progressives Deliver The Opposite of What They Advertise
Thanks to Dan McGuire for the heads up. The Brave Browser problem has corrected itself. Brave users will no longer get caught in a Cloudflare doom loop that ends with a Wordfence 404 (too many page-not-found errors for a human) block. We’ve been working both sides of this off and on for over two months. … Read more

A bill is working its way through the New Hampshire legislature that would limit the flags and banners flown in the state’s public and charter schools. Summary. House Bill 1132 will prohibit the display of certain flags and banners in public schools and public charter schools, and establish penalties for their display. A fine of … Read more
I am skeptical when, given the current political climate and recent history, anything calling itself a safe space where both sides can find common ground pops up from the trenches. Political operatives like to craft them to persuade otherwise well-meaning moderates to the left and to give progressives who join cover. Oh, look, so-and-so is … Read more
Ray wrote a post earlier that mentioned the not-so-honorable “chief” high-cheekbones Warren. She’s your typical nutjob Dem who will be in the Senate until she dies of old age. Being an AWFL with TDS ensures she will outlive almost everyone else, so we’re stuck with her and her priorities. I have the privilege of living … Read more

The term “mobile home” has a negative connotation. White trash Appalachian hillbilly crossed with white trash Oklahoma twister bait. I lived in one briefly and rented a room in another that was nicer than some homes I’ve been in. The latter is decidedly not mobile, while the former could have been moved. We owned the … Read more
You may know Daniel Richard as a ‘Grok author who has been using the system to fight the system for four years. He became something of a Constitutional scholar in the process, as well as gathering a keen understanding of how State Government does and doesn’t work. It is a question of Election Integrity. Following … Read more
Eric Swallwell is a partisan douchebag. I don’t even need to produce receipts for anyone who pays the slightest bit of attention. Whatever hyperbolic left-wing bullshit is on the menu, he is one of the first ones out of the kitchen to serve it. But that’s not why people who hold care even know who … Read more
I want to say I saw the first X post on this Friday night, and sure, news breaks on X all the time, but it is usually linked to something you can actually put your virtual hands on. President Trump, hospitalized in serious condition, began propagating across the platform. I ignored it after a quick … Read more
I am happy to announce what I hope is an incentive to support independent media and GraniteGrok.com. Free stuff. Our first foray into this something-for-something landscape is an 18-page E-Book called ‘Democrats Destroy Everything They Touch.’ It is a primer, using a handful of my past essays sorted and formatted for easy reading, that reminds … Read more
