September

What was “Hot on the ‘Grok” for September?

Did you know that September is “better breakfast” month? What if you don’t eat breakfast? It is the month of 10 different observances or awareness campaigns and 11 foods. They are Bourbon, wine, chicken, honey, mushrooms – which together sound like an appetizer at any number of restaurants trying to up their foodie cred. September is … Read more

GOTV for Republicans as if your Life Depended on it

As most of you know, I’m a lifelong Independent who absolutely excoriates any politician who deservers it, regardless of party. If you’ve read anything I’ve written, you’ve seen it. If you follow any of my social media accounts, you’ve seen it LIVE.

Throughout my voting life as an Independent, I have voted for Democrats, Libertarians, Independents and Republicans (the Green Party is a joke). I have always, ALWAYS voted based on a candidate. It is something my father taught me when I asked him how I should register to vote before I turned 18.

After the Kavanaugh hearings last week, that all changed.

Dartmouth “Prosecutes” A Lot Like Senate Democrats

Democrats in the U.S. Senate are sending you a message. The college campus tactics of guilty until proven innocent have been elevated to nominees for the highest court in the land. That means that if you were to accidentally stumble in front of one of their Social Justice Equity-mobiles they would run you down like (we’re … Read more

Conversation with ‘Grok – Jay Lucas and “American Sunshine” – Part 3

Sometimes, I get distracted (lately more often than not) and I have to apologize for not finishing up my conversation with Jay Lucas and his new book,  “American Sunshine: Rays of Hope and Opportunity” (which is available in both Kindle and hardcopy versions); Part 1 and Part 2 at their respective links. Also, don’t forget his … Read more

Grok 3.0 – A Brief Tour

The latest iteration of GraniteGrok.com is up and running. We’ll admit that we were going to wait a few more days, but something happened on 2.0 that made us wonder if that site, an old style with old security, had been compromised. We opted to go live and debug on the fly. Now that we … Read more

Antifa Linked Leftists Call For Violent Action if Kavanaugh Confirmed

Angry, violent leftists (that’s redundant) are promising to be angry and violent if they don’t get their way.

One Twitter user, claiming to be a member of the far-left militia organization, Redneck Revolt, quote tweeted (archived here) Emily saying that he “didn’t join Redneck revolt for no reason”, the implication of course being that he is “down” for armed political violence.

Was Dem Sen. Jeff Woodburn’s ‘Accuser’ Trying to Make Him do the Laundry?

Not that long ago the Democrat Mayor of Berlin, New Hampshire announced that the domestic abuse survivor of State Sen. Jeff Woodburn was not his female victim. It was Jeff Woodburn, the accused.

If only Woodburn were a nominee for the Supreme court, eh? We’d see buttons that say I believe “insert name here.” But the cabal of political insiders we’ve been discussing do not think so. Their champion is not the woman; it’s the great big, white guy who outweighs his alleged victim by 100 pounds and wait until you hear the latest.

“Cast off the lines!” – yep, we just started the move to 3.0!

It might take a bit but I have issued the “Make it so, #1” to our webmistress.  The most important thing, our 30,000+ posts have just finished being moved over. One answer is needed from our hosting company and the button will be pushed to swap 3.0 into the 2.0 “slot”.  It may take a … Read more

Dems Taxes 2018

98% Of NH Democrats Voted for an Income Tax…

If you aren’t planning to vote in November I hope you like higher taxes. From 2011 to 2018 98% of New Hampshire Democrats voted for an income tax (2012 CACR13, 2018 HB628). 97% of Democrats voted for higher gas taxes (2013 HB617, 2014 SB367, 2011 SB78, 2015 HB591). Democrats voted for higher business taxes and lots of other taxes.

But there’s a way to stop your taxes from going up.

Uniting America

As American culture begins to deteriorate and results from every area of society continue to illustrate the lack of integrity within our culture, people ask the question, “Can’t we just unite and become a nation of one people?” That’s a noble request and one that I believe many American’s would very much like to see become a reality.

We live in an era where sexual promiscuity is promoted, embraced and encouraged. We live in an age where murdering the unborn is not only acceptable but brushed off as a non-issue; some even and laugh it off. The selling of baby body parts is occurring without regard for the dignity and life of the unborn child. We live in an era where God is disrespected and mocked. I’m actually shocked that adults don’t see why we can’t unite.

Global Warming Continues to Produce Rising Tide of Tourism in NH

Ever since New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen predicted that Global Warming (they still called it that back then) would be the demise of New Hampshire’s tourism industry it has done exactly the opposite. Year after year the people who pay attention to such things have predicted record numbers. From leaf-peeping to beach-hopping, to winter-sports, to climbing mountains to taking in the Anthropo-“scenic” vistas.

The tide of tourism continues to rise. And look! This year is no different.

How do Abortion Advocates Who Are Animal Rights Activists React to This?

Using anecdotal evidence alone I’m going to guess that there is a significant crossover on the Left among animal rights activists and abortion supporters. Liberals are so hypocritical this has to be true. Humans are animals, but animals are in danger because of humans; so killing human animals in the womb is good for animals.

So what will they make of this?

The Trump Administration just canceled a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contract that obtained fresh fetal tissue (from abortions) for transplant into rodents to make humanized-mice for medical research.

“Three Graphs and Two Jokes” – Ian Underwood’s Testimony on HB356

Well, at least the Committee chuckled at Ian’s jokes – most of the audience, with sour pusses on their collective visage, was not amused. Why? Given that one was Laurie Melanson (Superintendent SAU 23/Haverhill and with whom I had a light “jousting match” before the meeting).

SideNote: She made it clear that she felt that all of the standardized tests that are mandated SHOULD be part of their grades.

Experts Can’t Quite Put a Finger On Why NH’s Violent Crime Rate is so Low

From today’s Union Leader, front page, “NH Has 3rd Lowest Violent Crime rate.”

The Granite State had the third-lowest rate of violent crime in 2017 — 198.7 incidents per 100,000 residents — trailing only Vermont (165.8) and Maine (121). Violent crime was down slightly nationwide, and it was the second year in a row that New Hampshire’s rate decreased.

Why? Expert opinions vary.

Pine Tree Ramblings Vol 11

File under “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder” (although I should change this to “Leftism is a Mental Disorder” since “Liberal” just seems too nice and flowy). It’s time again for Ray Buckley’s appeal to New Hampshire Democrats to buy tickets to their annual fundraising dinner (nice GIF, Buckles). That’s not really a story worth telling – but the … Read more
