I’d like to say this is not the exception and more the norm, but we know it’s not, and not just from schools. Cities like Nashua exist to use government resources and waste taxpayers’ dollars to defend their partisan personal interests. Governmental bodies, flush with other people’s cash, bonded staff, and large insurance policies, especially … Read more
Whether you like it or not, solar, as a scaled-up alternative to other forms of commercial energy production, is a huge risk. It’s expensive, intermittent (unreliable), has a significant front and back-end carbon footprint, has a highly toxic manufacturing process, a sketchy and toxic end of life question mark (how, who, cost, disposal, de-manufacturing, danger … Read more
You can’t escape death, but avoiding taxes is something human beings do instinctively, especially those who insist that paying them is some sort of patriotic duty. Personally, I go to great lengths to ensure that I have reported all my income. Not doing this makes you a natural target for certain political factions who are … Read more
If you’ve not been following the situation in the Kensingston/East Kingston School District, you can get caught up here, but it involves schools, so the problem is one with which you are likely familiar. It is something and a microcosm of the problem with public education. Spending and cost per student are climbing to or … Read more
President Trump stopped by the US Supreme Court to listen to oral arguments on the birthright citizenship case. The only President ever, I think, to do that. Power tie, listening. He is later reported to have said, “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” I’m thinking, maybe the … Read more
There is no shortage of content on these hallowed pages related to the so-called No Kings protests. Morning Updates, podcasts, and print-media commentary aplenty. Aside from the lost proglodyte or some left-wing troll looking for validation for their notion that we are all bigots and racists, not many a lefty is likely to see it. … Read more
We’ve been working on this for so very long that I’m not sure how to feel about it. Excited, relieved, ecstatic, ready for what comes next. HB323 takes effect in 60 days, long before the midterms, and tightens the rules on which photo IDs can be used to vote. [Related: End Out-Of-State Students’ Extra Constitutional … Read more
We’re back with another weekend-jump-starting dose of memes to launch you from your early lunch directly into your weekend, or something close to that. Very early lunch if you happen to be on the West Coast, and good for you guys. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Do you know the name, Aimee Ragonese? She was a special education teacher at the Daniel J. Bakie Elementary School. Was. She pleaded not guilty to allegations that she abused special needs students, whom whistleblowers and concerned parents claim were ignored by just about everyone, all the way up to the District Superintendent. She was … Read more
The Americans for Legal Immigration PAC chose a good name (ALIPAC). Hey, we’re Americans, and we like immigration, as long as it’s legal. This is how most Americans think. It is an 80-20 issue. It buttresses the support for Trump among minorities and legal immigrants, who are the single most likely victims of illegal alien … Read more
Happy Hump day! We hope the first half of the week just got a whole lot better as we lean into the latter half. We try to do our part. Memes. Lots of memes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Fragile Snowflake shoots mom and her boyfriend ‘cuz reasons. For a “demographic” claiming to have a rock-solid identity, the transgender community sure is a heap of fragile snowflakes. I can’t recall any group of people being so unhinged about what they claim to be. The pretendians are exclusively white women, usually over-educated, AWFLs, and while … Read more
A funny thing happened on the way to the California Gubernatorial Debate. It had to be canceled. Why, with ten candidates vying to be the top two contenders for the office, would they cancel that debate? There are ten candidates. The Local ABC affiliate is hosting, along with the University of Southern California (USC). The … Read more
Welcome back for another installment of Momday memes. You fix after a weekend with nary a meme in sight, at least ot on our pages, but we’re here to remedy the situation. Reminder: Memes are memes and are neither “fact-checked” nor do they (necessarily) represent the opinion of Grok Media, LLC, GraniteGrok.com, its sponsors, readers, authors, or … Read more
Millions of people discovered THE inconvenient truth during the thing we call COVID. The COVID Era, the COVID experiment, the Pandemic, the Plandemic, the Wuhan Flu, China Virus, a modern Dark Ages, during which the church of scientism was not to be doubted. That cabal started with governments who trotted out “experts” to tell us … Read more
Any body labled a Senate typically sucks. It can’t be counted on. Most of its members are more beholden to donors and special interests than to the people. We need to repeal the seventeenth amendment, but that’s not happening anytime soon, so we’re stuck with this swampiest of drags on meaningful reform. That’s not to … Read more
Last November, I reported on an announcement by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s competitions. The move began last year, after World Athletics required anyone competing as a woman to undergo a genetic test. The IOC met to discuss and announced its plan to require a test that … Read more
People have gotten used to the idea that Google’s metrics are the alpha and omega of everything related to web traffic. This is an institutional lie accepted after years of a monopoly on search. Google’s search algorithms serve one purpose. To optimize ad revenue for Google. Actual traffic results may vary, but our previous hosting … Read more
Despite cultural advances in our direction on Campuses and in the corporate world, at least on paper, there is still a lot of work to be done on the question of whether men can be women and women men. Not biologically – they can’t, but the far left is obsessed and unwilling to let this … Read more
