Unless you are a serious amateur or professional, you are using your smartphone to take photos or videos. I decided that for most GraniteGrok work, I decided to get a high end smartphone instead of a new prosumer video camera.
Hide and Seek
No wonder Freedom of Information laws have had to be created in the past decade or so. So many elected officials have been hiding so many underhanded dealings that once could be expected to be uncovered by real reporters. Sadly, they are now few and far between. They used to keep those officials thinking about … Read more
Democrats, Primaries, and Identity Politics
In a Concord Monitor Op-Ed published on July 5, 2021, I explained why the Democrats were likely to eschew New Hampshire’s First in the Nation (FITN) Primary due to identity politics.
It was an easy prediction.
Classrooms in Crisis Because of Restorative Justice?
Classrooms are out of control in some of our schools in New Hampshire. So what happened? Why are so many parents in school districts like Keene (SAU29) talking about the lack of discipline in the schools? Some of these parents are asking why the restrooms are locked? Why can’t students use the restroom in their … Read more
Second Amendment Happy Ending of the Day – Three Go In, Only Two Go Out. They Assumed Wrongly
Americans have been buying more than a million firearms a year for the last few years. Latest estimates of firearms is over 400 million arms in our population.

It Is Not Our War, and Zelensky Is Not Churchill
What we all witnessed in Washington was bizarre. None of it good, nor in the interest of this nation or its people. The day began with yet another boondoggle being foisted upon the taxpayers of this country.
The Left’s Green-Energy Agenda Leads to Record Coal Use in 2022
How often have we said it? Whatever the Political Left claims, the opposite is always the truth. From Women’s rights to Crime Prevention to Poverty to Lowering Health Care Costs. The end result is always the opposite, and that includes CO2 emissions.
Karoline Leavitt for NH-CD1 in 2024
It took a while for people to realize that Karoline Leavitt was mature enough to send her to Washington to represent New Hampshire’s First Congressional District. She was a young unknown, and though she worked hard to garner support, she did not get ample coverage from the media.

While New Hampshire may be lacking in major professional sports teams, there’s no shortage of stars rising through the college ranks. Over at New Hampshire University, one of the standout soccer players right now is Moise Bombito.
Notable Quote – On the Left, It Is Always about the Revenge
Emhasis mine: Since the French Revolution, leftwing politics, as distinct from the liberal sort, have been essentially about revenge, including in Great Britain with the founding of the Labour Party in 1900, an event recently characterized by the Daily Telegraph as an act of vengeance. Then, leftist vengeance meant class vengeance. While it remains so … Read more
People Who Think They Are God, & Those Who Know They Are Not
I have to confess I stole that title from Tucker Carlson. Tucker is one of my favorite news people because he is fearless. He has no allegiance to the Right or Left, and if his reporting upsets either or both, so be it.
Disqus Doodlings – A Full on Assault and Defense of Capitalism vs a “Guided Economy”
Yep, I have a few of these to catch up on. What started as an observation by TreeHugger author Lloyd Alter that Germans were “gamifying” the use of less energy (“Germans Are Competing With Each Other to Save Energy“), my first thought was “oh, competing to see who could have a worse standard of living … Read more
And Yet They Claim They’re NOT The Reason There Was No Red Wave …
Here is Mitch McConnell telling America that the priorities of GOP-voters … open Southern border, fentanyl, crime, inflation, CRT, 1619, etc., etc., etc. … do NOT matter at all to Mitch and his cronies-in-grift. No; what matters is endless war to enrich the military-industrial complex:
Survival Sunday – Thursday SITREP Edition
Forewarned is forearmed. Thus, this is intended to be a compilation of articles, with my commentary, to try and get like-minded people to grasp what’s coming. Even merely being aware of events in the world will make you better prepared than the hordes of sheeple.
Reminder: The COVID Vaccines Are About Party Loyalty not Public Health
We’ve visited and revisited numerous issues relating to the alleged COVID vaccines, their efficacy, side effects or harms, and especially policy like mandates or passports. But there’s one point, in particular, we need to revisit.
Palate Cleanser – I Used to Have to Do This Back in the Day
Yes, a blast from my past. I was playing with these things when it was common to have to do this: Standardization? Sure – but only to a point. Frankly, I hated printer cables. Period. And serial cables were often on my “oh, crap” list especially when Device A HAD to connect to Device B … Read more
I Hate to Say “I Told You So” … Wait, No, I Don’t.
A decade ago, when Democrats said they wanted to let biological men use the ladies’ room, we made the obvious point. Predators will abuse the opportunity if you allow men into women’s safe spaces. Women will be physically or mentally harmed. But the Party of Women* didn’t care.
Blogline of the Day – And I’ll Add To This That The Uniparty, Once Again, Can’t Do Their Basic Job of “Regular Order”
SLEEP TIGHT TONIGHT, FOLKS, YOUR CONGRESS IS ON THE JOB: Illegal immigrants are flooding across the border, China is kicking our butt around the world, the government faces a $31 trillion debt and today Congress is working getting rid of gendered pronouns from the U.S. Code. “Regular Order” is passing the appropriation/spending bills on a department by … Read more
California Decides Rooftop Solar Customers Aren’t Paying Their Fair Share
One of the burning questions that follow the Left’s love affair with so-called green* innovation is, what about their love affair with taxes? EVs pay no gas taxes, and while they’ll get dinged with utility taxes, how do they replace the lost gas tax revenue?
German Research Team: Diesel Vehicles More Friendly to the Environment Than Electric
Angela and Company put Germany on Energy transitioning hormones, but there’s a problem. Not much wind and not enough sun. And there’s no easy way to turn back. The nation’s last three Nuclear plants are decommissioning, which leaves Deutschland in dire straits.
