Notable Quote – And So We Are There…

October 15, 2023 Skip

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. -H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival … Read more

Israel: Memes and Commentary

May 21, 2025October 15, 2023 NITZAKHON

This is an attempt to “break out” memes, links, and my commentary about the situation in Israel / the Middle East so as to not overload the standard meme posts that I do. My last “normal” meme post. And my last Israel-related one. I don’t just have memes in the Israel ones, but lots of informative links as well as hopefully-insightful commentary, so if you didn’t see the last one, please do go look after you’re done with this one. Same thing here: lots and lots of links, info, videos, memes, and my added commentary (that I hope adds perspective and value).

What Does Iran Have On Joe

October 15, 2023 Ray Cardello

We know what Joe Biden is doing to us on the home front. We see it at the grocery store, the gas pumps, and our utility bills. We see it is on our credit card and home finance rates. We see it when we finance a car or check our 401K balance.

October 16, 2023October 15, 2023 Steve MacDonald

I met a lot of people at the Leadership Summit who were planning to come to Groktoberfest but had not yet purchased tickets. As we near the event date, I’d like to remind you that there’s no discount for waiting, and we’d like to know how much fun we can expect to have with readers, fans, friends, and family.

Was This Class Taught in an Inclusive, Respectful, and Equitable Manner?

October 15, 2023 Skip

Years ago, story after story would appear stemming from the developing “outlook” of what Social Work Graduate Schools were demanding their graduates adopt. They kept throwing out students who were either Conservative, Christian, or both, or just not hewing to the Narrative of how the world was to be seen and dealt with by these newly minted graduates.

White Guilt Wind

October 15, 2023 Steve MacDonald

If White Guilt needed a poster Girl, there are many from whom to choose, but if you don’t feel like looking, Leah Stokes fits the bill. She is the senior author of a paper funded by pro-wind-energy concerns titled “Prevalence and predictors of wind energy opposition in North America.”

At Least One Person Was Not Happy to See Me at the NHGOP Leadership Summit

October 15, 2023 Steve MacDonald

When you show up at large events with mostly like-minded people in a state the size of New Hampshire, you will see people you know. If you write for GraniteGrok, some will know your work. The odds that they will not all love it seem likely, which is a good sign. We’re not monolithic bots. Debate is good.

Pulpit Polity – One of Thomas Jefferson’s Revolutionary Inspirations

October 15, 2023 Op-Ed

There were so many important voices during the Revolution that founded our great country. Politicians, Lawyers, Doctors, and, of course, Clergymen! In fact, the brightest stars of the Revolution were the voices of ardent clergymen whose hearts set on freedom for all men and whose tongues were swords of truth to set the captives free!

There was a discussion about an outside agency coming in to “train” students of all grades in “Social and Emotional Learning” at a particular NH-based School District. What concerned folks was its progressive word-salad mission statement (shared below).

Government Is the Hidden Hand Directing the Culture Wars

October 14, 2023 Op-Ed

Recent data from the Pew Research Center shows that from 1994 to 2022, Americans’ views of opposing political parties became increasingly negative. In 1994, only 21 percent of Republicans and 17 percent of Democrats held “very unfavorable” views of the other party.

Vivek Hits It Out Of the Park At NHGOP’s FITN-Summit

October 14, 2023 Ed Mosca

Perhaps Ron DeSantis’ campaign would NOT have nosedived IF he had answered questions about UKRAINE and J6 like this. Instead, we have gotten platitudes on these two defining issues.

Temperature Anomaly Voodoo and The Scorching Hot September Narrative

October 14, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Last week, while eulogizing the collapse of another hurricane season – during a super hot summer narrative season – I hinted at the latest caterwauling by the climate cult. OMG, September was so darn hot; it’s a record. Hardly.

“A Modest Proposal”

October 14, 2023 Op-Ed

Every time Congress decides to “debate” whether or not to give themselves a raise, they try to do it in secret because it’s a very unpopular move, for obvious reasons.

The Case for Razing Gaza

October 14, 2023 Kensley Vitoria

It is not often that an entire city reaches such a level of decay that it deserves to be entirely razed to the ground, removed from existence. Sodom and Gomorrah are the pivotal examples in history that were destroyed by hellfire.

Aaron Day on CBDC and The Dangers of Currency Control

October 14, 2023 Steve MacDonald

If you are not familiar with Aaron Day, he’s a serial entrepreneur who is running for President. And while that may look like a long shot, he’s still got a lot of critically important knowledge to share that is worth our time ad attention.

With All This Talk About Gaza …

August 6, 2025October 14, 2023 Skip

It has been a week full of news about Iran’s Islamist Jew-hating-proxy Hamas’s massacring innocents within Israel.

Time for Me to Get Back to Holding Government Responsible Again …

October 14, 2023 Skip

We used to use the phrase “Bring Big Flashlights” when we first started, but like many things, there were lots of “Shiny Objects” that captured my attention over the years. And after my latest DCYF-induced hiatus of several months, I am starting to rev back up again.

October 14, 2023 Steve MacDonald

A quick shout out to all the “Vaccine Deniers™” in the house we call ‘Merica. You should be proud of yourselves. In a nation with over 300 million people, not counting the tens of millions of unvaccinated illegals, DHHS says only 2% have lined up for the latest COVID booster.
