With his recent UN speech, Argentina’s President, Javier Milei, took the Marxists to the woodshed. If you missed it, now’s the time to remedy that problem. It is pretty remarkable. President Milei delivered a powerful speech at the United Nations General Assembly, boldly announcing that Argentina will break from its long-standing neutrality to actively defend … Read more
Cape Cod Gun Works owner and chairman of the Civil Rights Coalition, Toby Leary, joins me to discuss H4885, a legislative assault weapon directed at law-abiding gun owners in Massachusetts. We discuss Gov. Maura Healey’s despicable move, some new (sometimes laugh-out-loud funny) restrictions and changes from the law, and what Bay State Citizens are doing … Read more
For those old enough to remember, one of the early “climate” fearmongering campaigns was the hole in the ozone. Long story short, if “we” didn’t do something, we would all fry. The problem wasn’t so much ozone as technology. Science has discovered a way to see ozone concentration, typically less dense at the poles. The … Read more
The issues of player safety and free speech are at the center of the recent press in New Hampshire surrounding Maelle Jaques, a boy playing as a girl on a Kearsarge School soccer team. We’ve heard about teams refusing to play Kearsarge over safety issues and parents who support girls being banned from games (and … Read more
Yeah. So. Newsflash. The response to COVID may have been a bit over the top. The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for England told the Covid Inquiry that the Government potentially “overdid” the warnings at the start of the pandemic as lockdowns were introduced and the vulnerable told to “shield”. He said that the balance in communicating the … Read more
Whether you’ve been following the completed ballot storage box tape soap opera or not, this is excellent news. After a meeting with activists, the Secretary of State’s Office has decided to switch to the tape recommended and demonstrated by New Hampshire citizens. Here is the text in the image if it is hard to read. … Read more
As I noted in the update to my original post alerting everyone that the NHGOP dissolving the Raymond Town Committee, I observed that “One of the more clumsy ways to get more detail about a situation is to share what you know or have been told, “to get it out there.” That worked. We speculated … Read more
NH House Rep. JR Hoell joins me to discuss a recent school board meeting regarding a superintendent who violated parents’ First Amendment rights. The parents peacefully wore pink wristbands with XX on them to support biological girls’ sports and were banned from the game. [Support Girls’ and Women’s Sports -You can buy pink wristband here] … Read more
I feel comfortable saying that there are a small number of registered Democrats who would take a homeless “migrant” into their home and a few more who genuinely believe “sanctuary policies are about doing good, but most of them wouldn’t give a migrant the time of day especially the ones in elected office. It’s virtue … Read more
Bad outcomes for those outside the womb. Listen to a voiceover of this post here. I’m not sure what the political ads look like where you are, but Democrats in my corner of what passes for the Free World are running on Abortion (again). And while I’ve made this case before here, and on here, they ran … Read more
The petty tyrants in the Bow-Dunbarton School district are, as predicted, getting sued. But it’s even better than I imagined. The suit names a handful of entitled pricks from the peace officer sworn to protect and defend the Constitution who stood ready to arrest them (Lieutenant Phil Lamy) to the Superintendent (Marcy Kelley) and School … Read more
Welcome to Groktober. Last year, with a lot of help, we ran an event fundraiser with many speakers, vendors, food, a gun raffle, lots of great people, and more. We had a beautiful day for Groktoberfest 2023 and raised a few thousand dollars. The fun and the networking make it all worth the effort, and … Read more
Dockworkers at 36 ports along the eastern seaboard are walking off the job at midnight. The good news is that a majority of them hate Kamala Harris. The bad news is that if an intervention was required, she’d be the only one with President in their title (hers is vice, how ironic) to step in … Read more
If you want to talk about red flags, why are Democrats constantly looking for ways to get people to snitch on family, friends, and neighbors? From the Obama Truth Squads to COVID informants to this. Michigan has a provision in a law that creates a snitch line for kids. No, they aren’t supposed to report … Read more
One of my kids announced the other day that they were sick and tired of all the political commercials on YouTube. There are tons of them, and they are all from Democrats attacking Republicans. He asked me if they were running on anything. I said yes – attacking Republicans. There is the odd “I did … Read more
Grok Media LLC and GraniteGrok.com have completed the site design evolution from a state-level hobby blog to one built for a much wider audience while maintaining a solid grasp on its New Hampshire roots. Future growth demanded it, and the response has been very positive. However, to continue improving and growing, we need donors and … Read more
Oil, coal, petrol, and natural gas replacements require obscene amounts of concrete, metal, plastics, electronics, and rare earth metals, all moved by heavy equipment from manufacturing facilities. None of this is possible without coal, gas, or oil. Net Zero, in other words, is another lie. Like saying you’re going to end child trafficking by trafficking … Read more
It has been nearly ten years since (then) Governor Maggie Hassan signed the hands-free law prohibiting motor vehicle operators from using handheld electronic devices. We were told it would reduce traffic fatalities (Death on the Highway!). I never believed it and suggested things would get worse. They did. New Hampshire reported 95 motor vehicle-related deaths … Read more
One week after our detailed report on Eastern Equine Encephalitis, two more New Hampshire residents have since tested positive. The headline reads Two Hospitalized, but if you read the short report, they were released (one from Derry, the other from Newmarket). If they had EEE in its rare and potentially fatal form, I doubt they … Read more
Some people claiming to be scientists unexpectedly discovered that the temperature history of planet Earth is like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. It is all over the place and mostly hotter than today. This is not a discovery. Eighth graders used to know this until recently (not sure there is time for it with all the … Read more
