I was recently accused of ‘having a lot of good ideas that are impossible to get done’.
I’m glad that at least some people think they’re good ideas. But I’m sad that those people so often dismiss the ideas as being impossible.
What does a lunatic sound like? Well … listen to Lindsey Graham and you will know exactly what a lunatic sounds like. He wants Biden to wage war on Iran … apparently without a Congressional declaration of war … if, in his view, there is an escalation (which he does NOT define) by Hamas. Graham … Read more

We start with a “blast from the past. My screaming match (several years ago) with former Laconia Daily Sun reporter Mike Kitsch over “financial compassion” while I was on my Hamlet’s budget committee. A reprise about our “chat” in a very public parking lot of the Mills Falls hotel that sets up the rest of the post.
GraniteGrok has a full-service woodshed. We’ll take anyone out there and give them a verbal thrashing regardless of political party or lack thereof. Democrats often, Republicans, almost as much. Everyone else, as needed. The Principles are more important.
The Vermont Department of Public Services conducted a poll and a series of focus groups over the summer regarding state energy policy, specifically support for or opposition to using more renewable energy. They just released the 87-page report on what they found out.
The Party of Unity, Civility, and Equity – the self-proclaimed anti-discrimination advocates – has a messaging conflict. North Carolina Republicans just overrode their Dem Governor’s veto of a bill that required election boards to include members of both political parties.
It’s simple. Supply vs Demand, with the Government artificially manipulating the marketplace because it controls the third leg of the housing marketplace – interest rates.
Last month, on September 11, which is as important a day to America as December 7, President Joe Biden released $6 Billion in frozen assets for Iran in exchange for five American hostages held by the evil empire of Iran. Biden bought the freedom of these Americans for $1.2 Billion each and established the market price for hostages in the future.
This may be an ICYMI, but the cultural battlefield being what it is, it seems appropriate to revisit or, in the event this is new to our pages, share it. The clip is short but makes a critical point we’ve visited more than once. The Left’s agenda is once again riddled with hypocrisy.
Public schools have been indoctrinating our children, and it is our tax dollars that are making this possible. Our own money is being used by those who hate us against us and our children. You know that. You know about the library problem. But did you know this?
There is much speculation about Iran providing weapons and material support to Hamas. Or is there? Iran’s Mullahs proudly finance the “resistance” against Israel. They send them weapons. Fund their activity. But not this time? Seriously?
When I lived in California, the gun control lobby was very powerful. And very aggressive. I listened very intently to their arguments as to why I should be denied my Second Amendment rights, but they never really made any sense.
They have been under attack by the surrounding Arab countries since the 1948 creation of the State of Israel, but Jews have been under attack for centuries as a people. Most notably under the Third Reich with Adolph Hitler’s genocide of them (the Holocaust).
Lindsey Graham does not always get it right. Graham often angers the Right by making comments that do not align with Conservative thinking. But when Graham gets passionate about Israel and the attempts by certain factions of the world that want to take her down, you can usually take his comments to the bank-they are gold.
We have an event coming up on October 28th, and there is some confusion I’d like to clear up. This is a ‘Grok event; the 603 Alliance is only helping plan and execute the Event. The Event’s sole purpose, besides fun, is to raise money to pay staff to run and grow GraniteGrok.com.
In a world where narratives are crafted and pushed upon people who just want to live their lives in peace, we suddenly find these recently divided United States uniting around the cries to “stand with Israel.”
Every Sunday, the UL’s Landrigan does a “State House Dome” wrap-up. As I scanned through the column, the word “domicile” caught my eye. No, Landrigan didn’t use it extemporarily on his own; he was quoting Dem Minority Leader Matt Wilhelm’s own words.
As I said in Wednesday’s Meme Overflow, I’m getting enough on Israel – memes and articles plus my desire to add my own comments and references / breaking news – and stuff that’s related – that I’m pulling them out into a standalone post thread. I figure that not everyone is as interested as I am in the situation concerning Israel and to maintain readership of the memes, it’s time to separate them out.
It’s not enough any longer for some on the Left to simply jail their political opponents. Now it’s assassinations. See how fast this is moving? And NOTHING will happen to CIA Director “General” Michael Hayden.
I requested that the Nashua Library move the picture book “Grandad’s Pride“, which features an image of half-naked men wearing bondage gear, to the parenting shelf where small kids won’t have access to it without a parent’s permission. My request was denied.
