One of the excuses the Climate Cult makes for ignoring the significant emissions from biomass plants is that, because it is carbon captured by plants, it makes it renewable. Plants capture CO2, so it’s okay to burn them and emit whatever into wherever. This is a cop out. Every fuel on the planet, except nuclear, … Read more
Whoever Shakespeare is or was remains a historical conundrum! I was not a Shakespeare fan when required to read him in High School. However, what has become clear to me is that his understanding of human nature and the literary expression of it is unparalleled. The most recent example is Macbeth. Having murdered his former … Read more
When the Democrat supermajority passed Act 18, the Clean Heat Standard, back in 2023 it came with a provision called the “check back” wherein the legislature would have to vote to approve (or not) rules subsequently drafted by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for operating the law’s carbon credit exchange. During the 2024 campaign, incumbents … Read more

It may be true that we are often forced to suffer fools, for a time, but what about dipshits you can’t cut loose? I refer to the New England states, excluding New Hampshire. They are all being run into the ground by hypocrats and Proglodytes, and some of their “sovereign” actions have regional consequences. The … Read more
We are way behind on our latest fundraiser, but that’s always the case. Nothing new. We’ll figure something out, or GraniteGrok will have to do less based on the budget we have.

Steve MacDonald, Managing Editor of @granitegrok, talks about how the SPLC has abandoned its honest roots to become a Marxist … Read more
Bullying happens at the state house. There’s so much of it that it should be renamed Fairgrounds School, known locally as the host of the Ward 6 polls and by WMUR as the Nashua epicenter of bullying. Legislator scorecards are a toned-down version of bullying in the sense that they’re carrots on a stick for … Read more
As Jeanne Shaheen fights to grow the national debt just a bit larger before she “retires,” her daughter Stefany has announced she wants to replace Chris Pappas in New Hampshire Congressional District one.

YEESH, my fellow statespeople once again embarrass me. The legislature passed HB 81, allowing grown adults to take their beer and martinis with them to the restrooms. Odd? And you ask why? It’s so nobody can put a drug into the drink when you’re not there. This is an idiotic bill: our legislators are … Read more
Last Thursday, the Union Leader published an op-ed warning about a troubling trend: the politicization of public participation in Nashua. I argued that our city’s leaders—by labeling dissenting voices as “mayor haters” or dismissing ethics complaints as “just politics”—were creating a culture that silences civic dialogue. One day later, Alderman Derek Thibeault responded—not with reflection, but … Read more
New Hampshire lawmakers have passed legislation that will prohibit cities from adopting policies that signal they are sanctuary destinations for illegal immigrants. Such “sanctuary cities,” which proclaim they will not prosecute illegals or cooperate with federal agents who do, are popular in New England, sometimes attracting the wrong kind of tourist. New Hampshire’s partisan victory … Read more
