Last night, username GASTON called attention to a WMUR story about Granite Staters suddenly being harassed by the registry for unpaid out-of-state tickets that were issued decades ago. If a prosecutor or plaintiff can’t unleash litigation over crimes and grievances that long ago, why should the registry get to? I wanted answers, and the WMUR … Read more

This week on GrokTALK!, Democrats have bills for 2027 to pass a sales and income tax, raise business taxes, and tax retirement income (Interest and dividends). The November elections in the Granite State are about stopping a sales and income tax and whether you love New Hampshire enough to vote to stop both. “Tradition is … Read more
Though New Hampshire legislators have passed about 30 housing reform bills in the last three years, possibly the biggest reform—lowering minimum lot sizes—has remained elusive. Many legislators have refused to support it because they view it as too controversial. Yet a new St. Anselm College Poll shows that legalizing small homes on small lots is … Read more
The Democrat Party has a long anti-democratic history; now it’s fielding Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) candidates who want to replace the American Constitution that protects our rights, and implement policies that will make American life more dangerous, less free, and much poorer. Democrats use government to violate our rights or allow them to … Read more
The recent $44.6 million dollar overbid contract before the Governor and Executive Council for the replacement of the Cannon Mountain aerial tramway asks a continuing question: Should New Hampshire be in the ski area business? Completed in 1980 and used beyond its design capabilities, the tramway is a centerpiece of a ski area inside a … Read more
This week, on The New England Take, the LPNH makes a dumb comment about assassinating Democrats; A. J. is called a racist for wanting police, not ICE, to detain illegals; and the hypocrisy about “watchlists” Links: Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent those of Grok Media, LLC, GraniteGrok.com, its sponsors, readers, … Read more
It’s that time of the month. My appearance on WFEA’s Morning Update with Jeff Chidester. This week, we start with campaign commercials, specifically the dueling montage directed at the open U.S. Senate seat in New Hampshire. Jeff and Steve kick off the segment by dissecting the latest wave of Senate race attack ads aimed at … Read more
I got up and spoke out against former Gordon MacDonald at his Executive Council confirmation hearing. Everyone was running and scrambling to set up their microphones as if Elvis had just walked into the building. I got up after introducing myself to the council and handed AG MacDonald my not-guilty slip, which I still have. … Read more
Scores 100% on the Democratic Socialist Party policy questionnaire Democrat Lieutenant Governor Candidate Molly Gray is out on the campaign trail projecting herself as some sort of moderate and a champion of rural Vermont. But, as highlighted in a recent interview on WVMT’s Morning Drive, Gray responded to the Green Mountain Democratic Socialists of America … Read more
A WMUR headline story ran yesterday afternoon about the closure of the Queen City Bridge (QCB) in Manchester. Readers with no ties to Manchester might not care about the QCB because it’s “out of sight, out of mind,” so to speak, but I’ll explain why everyone should pay attention. No sound-minded person would want a … Read more

Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their own and … Read more
Before any Vermonters vote on a constitutional amendment that makes it impossible to avoid the corrosive cultural rot of union power, check this out. The National Education Association Vermont chapter also asserts that the state’s public school teachers must acknowledge the nation’s “white supremacy culture” as responsible for “white privilege” that is “conferred irrespective of … Read more
Gordon MacDonald should never have been the AG. He lied on his application to the Supreme Court as well. He said he didn’t have any conflicts of interest but failed to mention that he was still listed as an agent at Nixon Peabody for a firm managed by Gordon Humphrey, whom he listed as a … Read more
. It is with great disappointment that the League Board has decided to CANCEL our annual 2A FREEDOM RALLY this year. We’ve dealt with sub-freezing temperatures; snow, sleet, and rain before, but the winds are always a killer. State House Plaza is already a wind tunnel – we can attest to the many canopies and … Read more
The proposed Constitutional Amendment, Proposal 3, that Vermonters will vote on this election began its journey in 2023 as part of the Democrat Supermajority’s radical, all-you-can-pass smorgasbord of policy-payoffs-to-special-interests agenda, along with the Clean Heat Standard, Renewable Energy Standard, the new pre-K payroll tax, Act 181, etcetera. And, what does it have in common with … Read more
Don Bolduc’s never-ending attacks against President Trump are monotonous: “Trump’s troubled second term boils down to leadership” Sept. 14). Yet when he ran for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire in 2020 and 2022, you fully supported Donald Trump. It’s easier to attack the remedy than to confront the reality. General Bolduc’s claim of the Trump … Read more
Here is the fact that swallows the rest of the argument. No voting machine in any New Hampshire town hall has been examined to see whether it can reach the internet. RSA 656:42, X is not a suggestion. It says no electronic ballot counting device shall have access to or be connected to the Internet. … Read more
TL;DR: A mother of two special-needs students told the Green Mountain Union High School Board on Sept. 17 that school staff supported her disabled son’s social gender transition without her knowledge or consent, while failing to keep her informed about what she described as a serious decline in his mental and physical health. Rebecca Duprey … Read more
New Hampshire Republicans promised Granite Staters last week that they would keep working to make their lives easier. Democrats will keep hating Trump Republicans and anyone who disagrees with them. They will continue to obstruct federal agents from enforcing actual laws, to go after their political enemies (that includes you), allow criminals to walk your … Read more
