So, About that “Biden Implicated in Alleged Foreign Influence Operation” Business …
Trump Derangement Syndrome is real (TDS). Post-Trump Derangement Syndrome is real (PTDS). The Democrat’s projection of crimes by prominent left-wing actors on Trump is real, and Joe Biden has the distinction of having checked nearly all those boxes in two years while Trump didn’t check any in four.

Chris Sununu Presidential Poll Watch – Bonus Edition

No Fear Tactics or Lies, Just the Scary Truth
In the Midwest, they have tornado sirens to warn of imminent danger and destruction. Those sirens are not fear tactics. They are there to save lives.

NAEP 2022 US History and Civics Are In: “Revealing Low Confidence in Civics Knowledge”
Often called “The Nation’s Report Card” it measures various subjects like Arts, Civics, Economics, Geography, Mathematics, Reading, Science, US History, and Writing. Given that we are political bloggers here at GraniteGrok, when this came in from the NH Department of Education, I took a look because the title of the email had this: NAEP releases … Read more

NH School Boards Association Fighting AGAINST PARENTAL RIGHTS : Take ACTION NOW
Sadly I’m not surprised that the NHSBA came out against the parental rights legislation that will be voted on in The New Hampshire House soon. It’s hard for me to remember when this lobbying organization supported any parental rights laws. It seems odd since parents pay their salaries.
Bad News ‘Ladies’ (Cough-Cough) – Estrogen Therapy Might Make Your Prostate Cancer Worse

QUICK TAKES – Hat Trick
I am resurrecting my QUICK TAKES feature which, for those not aware, is a hat trick of things I’d like to comment on, but don’t really see them developing into full-blown essays of their own right. As a sample, here are two (randomly selected) of my prior entries in this category:
Iranians Are Not Muslim
Iranians are Muslim in name only. Most Iranians consider Islam, an invader. We have a saying in Persian that the way you take your first step points your path for the rest of your journey. To elucidate this, please allow me to elaborate and give a brief account of Islam.
Black Mayor Wants Equality But Resorts To Race Baiting
Mayor Eric Adams of New York has been very vocal about the illegal migrants being sent to sanctuary cities nationwide by Florida and Texas governors. I will give Adams credit for going to the Border to witness the chaos himself.
Hey Donald Trump … If CNN Is Fake News, Then Why Are You Doing A “Town Hall” On CNN
Next Wednesday … May 10th … Donald Trump is going to do a CNN “Town Hall” in New Hampshire. WHOA … whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hasn’t he been telling us for years that CNN is Fake News? Does he no longer believe CNN is Fake News? Did he ever believe it? The comments from … Read more
Free Speech is the Only True Middle Ground And Everyone Should Be Defending It
Helen Joyce, writing at The Critic, has strung together some excellent thoughts on one of the most pressing issues of the day—women fighting for the right to speak freely in the shadow of the latest cultural-Marxist fad; trans-rights.
Will Vermont Dems Double Down on “We Know Better Than You”?
Vermont’s misnamed Affordable Heat Act is a dangerous piece of partisan legislation that will cost Vermonters more than money. But many know that and have been vocal in their opposition to it. Dems in the legislature passed it anyway, and Gov Scott has promised a veto.

NBC’s Chuck Todd’s Roosters Lay Eggs
I don’t know if Chuck Todd has roosters, but they would lay eggs in his world because there is no such thing as Male and Female in Chuck’s world. In Chuck’s world, there is no delineation between a person with XX or XY Chromozones.
Real Beer vs Bud Light and the Demands of the Authoritarian Human Rights Campaign
Remember, I don’t drink alcohol, but I do think these side-by-side images perfectly summarize what a real female is versus an ersatz one. The Human Rights Campaign, however – the largest and most well-funded LGBT authoritarian group – is warning Anheuser-Busch (maker of Bud Light) not to go wobbly or they will turn their own … Read more
