Years ago, story after story would appear stemming from the developing “outlook” of what Social Work Graduate Schools were demanding their graduates adopt.

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

There were so many important voices during the Revolution that founded our great country. Politicians, Lawyers, Doctors, and, of course, Clergymen!

“Actor” Needs Help – Not Sure if He’s Supposed to Support Israel or ‘Palestine’

We Did Not Swap One for Another – We Have Fought for Our Freedom!
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).

Vivek Hits It Out Of the Park At NHGOP’s FITN-Summit
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.
“A Modest Proposal”
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
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
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 …
It has been a week full of news about Iran’s Islamist Jew-hating-proxy Hamas’s massacring innocents within Israel.

Jim Jordan Is the Conservative Choice
The latest announcement from Steve Scalise has opened up the way for Jim Jordan.

Time for Me to Get Back to Holding Government Responsible Again …
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.
The Rise of the Vaccine Hesitant? – 98% of American’s Have Not Received the Latest COVID “Booster”
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.
Can Progressives Not Recognize Evil
When Rashida Tlaib was confronted with a request for a comment about Hamas’s atrocities committed on women and children, she avoided the reporter and refused to answer the question.
Since We’re Spending so Much in Ukraine, How about a Little Russian Military 101…
Back in Jr. High and High School, I was a WWII military nerd. Anything to do with the militaries involved in the war (pretty much everyone), I read. In fact, I read every book in the Campello library (part of Brockton, MA, where I grew up) and then started in on the main library downtown.
Bomb, Bomb, Bomb … Bomb, Bomb Iran … Lindsey Graham Is A Lunatic
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
Don’t Give Up Before You Even Get Started
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.
