Rick Olson is a contributor to these pages, though not for some time. Other priorities, and as I always say, if it’s not fun, then do something else. But he has hundreds, if not thousands, of posts on GraniteGrok, and, as I may have said before, we spend time together. Rick is a former Marine … Read more
At Monday night’s Burlington City Council meeting, some Progressive city councilors and attendees mocked Democrat city councilors’ ‘Burlington Forward’ public safety plan as ‘Burlington Backward.’ They claimed the plan would return Burlington to an era of incarceration and forced removal of homeless encampments – both of which they deplore and insist won’t work. The epic … Read more
The interstate migration of Americans has been happening for decades, but is it giving the Left too much credit to say it is part of a master plan? We have enough empirical data to show that there is a significant disparity in states’ success or failure, driven by the trend and history of the Party … Read more
GraniteGrok can be, for some more disciplined Republicans, something of a guilty pleasure. They would never announce they are fans, but we can say things they never would and maybe they should. Weekly, if not daily, we provide narrative ammo and armor that you can hand to your troops for the trench wars in social … Read more
Zohran Mamdani can say anything he likes about Islam and still go to heaven. Lying isn’t just acceptable; it is required. The global Ummah will thank you for all your deceptions to advance it. Case in point. Not for nothing, but regardless of how many marbles you have and whether they are all there, everything, … Read more
One of the underappreciated nuances of the anti-racism movement (the pro-white racism is blatant, not nuanced) is how everything that movements like BLM stand on assumes blacks are criminals. Calm down. I understand that the point they are trying to sell is that blacks get framed, and if there were fewer cops, they’d be less … Read more
Chasity Bono used to drop by the variety show because she was a super cute little girl, and pets and small children (especially if they are not yours and you can walk away from them or give them back) are a big draw (marketing-wise). Chastity had an addadicktomy and became Chaz Bono, not so cute, … Read more
Nashua residents deserve full transparency into how our City manages taxpayer‑funded housing programs and vets individuals placed in our neighborhoods. Recent events have raised serious and urgent concerns about the City of Nashua’s screening practices, concerns that City officials have repeatedly refused to address.

The UK Rape Gang Inquiry Report is public, and it is worse than even the so-called conspiracy theories. As summarized by Libs of TikTok. The report notes that the rape gang problem has been about and ignored since the 1950’s (1955 being the more official start), which explains the vast number of victims whose rights … Read more
Karmelo Anthony admitted to stabbing Austin Metcalf to death (“I’m not alleged; I did it”), and people are outraged that he’s going to jail for that. The self-defense “defense” didn’t hold up. Death by stabbing after being pushed is considered excessive use of force. As in, couldn’t you have stabbed him someplace else? Or, how … Read more
Seattle, the city, has become a crazy homeless person. I know, Seattle, again, yes. Every poster child for democrat rule needs to have its dirty laundry aired so the so-called middle, filled with moderate, independent voters, understands. There’s no coming back from what Democrats will do and ignore what they say because there are numerous … Read more
One of President Sleepy Joe’s last-minute Autopen pardon recipients, a narcotics dealer, just got arrested in Vermont…for dealing hardcore narcotics! The case reveals the travesty not just of Biden’s unpardonable pardons, but the death and destruction wrought by Democrat policies that are soft on crime and hard on public safety. Todd “Rocky” Jarvis was one … Read more

The criminal aliens hide in the immigrant community, where they cause stress and strife, commit crimes, often rape women and children, and do significant harm. And Tren De Argua … Read more
If you haven’t seen the 1991 Steve Martin film, LA Story, this isn’t about that, so no need for spoiler alerts. Amusing film, though, and worth a watch; it makes fun of 1990s LA, which is to say it makes fun of LA, and there isn’t enough of that, so here’s some more. It starts … Read more
This handbook is the ultimate ballistic weapon for the modern intelligence operative. It shatters the wall of silence and delivers a lethal blow to the ignorance that cripples the Western security apparatus. For decades, the intelligence community operated in a self-imposed vacuum of blindness. Analysts fed the machine a diet of sanitized, hollow data. This … Read more
Today, on the Morning update, it’s another edition of FAFO. Another retailer has had all it can take, and it’s not taking anymore. They are closing another store, leaving another neighborhood. And the neighborhood, along with its so-called political leaders who turned it into an impossible place to do business, refuses to accept the blame. … Read more

Ward Clark, writing at Red State, reminds us that “The primary purpose of government is to protect the liberty and property of the citizens.” If you asked 100 randos on any American street corner how many would even come close to that?
