Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the embedded video does not load. Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not … Read more
I take umbrage with the idea of taxes as an investment. Given the opportunity, even the two-faced Dems spouting nonsense about our patriotic duty to let the government rob us would put their money into something else. Even just your own pocket is likely to produce better results in both the short and long term … Read more
Bill Clinton is famous for many things. Having sex with women who are not his wife, for example. Allegedly having sex with underage girls, ala Epstein. Having a wife who made it her mission to suppress the bimbo eruptions (see, women Bill slept with who were not his wife). Having more friends, colleagues, and acquaintances … Read more

The anti-free speech numbers for younger folks are bad. A majority (55%) are uncomfortable, meaning they are already well on their way to the world of thought-crime. 7 in 10 think some speech is the equivalent of actual violence. Hate speech is a thing, and they are not uncomfortable letting someone in a position of … Read more
Sundays are odd days for me. I know, it’s Monday, and Monday is why Sunday is weird. I have a part-time Monday through Friday job, and I have some other side-gig work that all falls under the umbrella of GROK MEDIA, LLC, but GraniteGrok is the 7/365 gig. Not 24/7, but definitely 5-7/7/365 and depending … Read more

There is a growing body of evidence that having the wealth of human knowledge at your fingertips is as likely, if not more so, to make you dumber. New research also suggests that notifications cause cognitive disruption. “Our findings suggest that notifications can disrupt cognitive processing for about seven seconds and that this disruption reflects … Read more
Apologies for taking liberties with the acronym. Angry While Female Liberals (AWFL), sometimes, angry white female urban liberal (AWFUL), needed a tweak. Angry White Hispanic Female Liberal Stalkers. A jury found Coloradoan Ashleigh Brown and Californian Cynthia Raygoza guilty of felony stalking March 2 for following an ICE officer home in Los Angeles and livestreaming … Read more
The UK appears to have reached a point where it has so ruined itself that the only way to preserve any sense of unity is to have its own great Satan. That Alinsky-esque target you freeze and isolate in your people’s minds. The cause of all the ills that you must unite to defeat. In … Read more
This is making the rounds because it’s classic left-wing memory-holing. New York has been in trouble for a while. The state and the City. I was born in New England but grew up in Upstate New York, which is everything north of ‘The City.’ Finger Lakes region. The boonies to the burroughs, though not so … Read more
Anyone running from the left, no matter how far they have to go to pretend to be in the middle, should be roundly mocked. Forced to answer for the likes of Spangerger in Virginia and Mamdani in New York. They claim to be like you. To care for your interests. To defend you from [insert … Read more
Another week with lots of memes, and here we are with even more. It’s cleanup time and time for the Friday meme thing, where we unload some of the extra memes we’ve accumulated over the past week. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Last fall, Manchester Community College Turning Point USA president Samuel Raiti set up a table outside the schools Main Entrance. I’ve been on that sidewalk myself, and there is tons of room. As you can see from the pictures above, he was in no way obstructing or interfering with pedestrian traffic or access in or … Read more
I won’t pay the Union Leader, our state’s largest circulation newspaper, for the privilege of access to the declining value of what they call news, but I get their emails, and this headline caught my eye. “Manchester schools ask business leaders to push for adequate funding.” Even if you’re not a victim of the ed … Read more
This is amusing. Gordon Darby Holdings has asked a federal judge to hold some New Hampshire state employees in contempt for ignoring that judge’s order requiring citizens to pay for their services. Gordon Darby makes money from emissions testing as part of state inspections that are no longer required. And while judges can’t levy taxes, … Read more
This week on Midweek memes, we’ve got (drumroll) memes. Yeah. Wow. What a surprise. A headline under which you find exactly what it says and nothing else (except this pithy intro). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
A third-party vendor that makes bank on mandated New Hampshire vehicle inspections convinced a NH judge to demand that the inspections be resumed. The legislature ended them last year (effective Jan 31, 2026). The governor signed that law. The Executive Council (EC) did not renew its contract. But some judge decided that a customer had … Read more
