The Dems are dug in and convinced their “health care crisis” narrative will win the day. Jeffries and Schumer keep peddling the argument while our service members, air traffic controllers, and millions of their voters go unpaid. But President Trump is a pro-military president. He supports police, fire, first responders, and every member of the … Read more
On today’s morning update, news for Democrats is dire as almost no one likes what they are doing, but is your state or local GOP using that effectively or…at all? Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent those of Grok Media, LLC, GraniteGrok.com, its sponsors, readers, authors, or advertisers. Got Something to Say, … Read more
The recent revelation that Uncle Joe Biden’s Administration, which is to say whoever was running the Biden Administration, was spying on Republicans in Congress should not surprise. It might be a big deal, but it isn’t a new one. Joe’s mentor, Barry Obama, spied on members of Congress, the Media, our supposed allies, and, of … Read more
Far-left extremist violence was the dominant ideological manifestation in the 1970s and a major part of the U.S. domestic threat but it retreated into a sort of post-Cold War hibernation until the mid-2010s. Since then, they have been reenergized by a variety of issues. At the risk of being simplistic, these issues range from minority … Read more
It is an unusual time to be a news junkie. The government is shut down, which leads to a 24/7 media cage match with each side pointing an accusing finger at the other. The Republicans appear to be gaining the upper hand in that marathon skirmish as they continue to present facts, while the Democrats … Read more
And act surprised when their “political children” misbehave This will come as no surprise to anyone outside of Boston. The place isn’t just crawling with lefties; it attracts them like flies to, you know, feces. It’s been blue for a long time, as has the entire state, but you’d think the people running Boston didn’t … Read more
The quick answer to this highly complex question is “No,” but the question deserves a more nuanced explanation than a single word, and I hope I can do it justice. The truth is that both Parties have been morphing for the last couple of decades. On the surface, the Republicans used to represent the rich, … Read more
Victor Davis Hanson just dropped a new term to describe the Democrat crime lords calling themselves mayors who oversee the party’s larger urban left-wing vote farms. Those big blue cities that skew the crime numbers that try to hide illegal border jumpers, especially if they are child sex trafficking rapists or murderers. They rely heavily … Read more
Government shutdowns are not frequent events, which is great for Congress, because they serve as Exhibit #1 for how childish both sides can be. I hear better debate from the front of my elementary school bus, where the youngest children are seated. The 24/7 media is filled with the various faces of Congress blaming the … Read more
While we continue to rant about the Dems holding Democrat civil servants hostage in exchange for “health care for illegals,” it turns out there are several other priorities in play. Yes, they want you to pay for health insurance for non-citizens, but they also want “$3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia.” That’s according … Read more
I’ve shared some of this outside the blog space, so my apologies if you’ve seen it already, but I had to comment as well. Jeanne Shaheen is an F-ing joke. She knows damn well what her party’s priorities are and why. She’s inside, an architect, so this is nothing short of a bald-faced lie she … Read more
If you had any doubts about who is running the Democratic party these days, it is not Democrats per se. Yes, they are in the party, but most of them are not in elected office. They are the monsters the elected Democrats created, hatched over decades from the White Towers, kept warm by white hate … Read more
With Democrats claiming that the government has shut down because Republicans don’t want to deal with health care, it’s time for a reminder that if Democrats really want to provide subsidized health care to people who think that’s a good idea, they don’t need Republicans to do that: If the UK can implement a single-payer … Read more
Dems just shut down the government so the guy waving the Mexican Flag, surrounded by rioters and burning cars in LA, could have free health care. Remember when that narcissistic ass, Barry Obama, signed ObamaCare into law? There was this pause, and he was like, See, nothing happened. But it sure as hell did, and … Read more
We knew that as soon as legal action was taken against any enemy of Donald Trump, the Left would fall all over themselves claiming weaponization of the Justice Department, or that Trump’s actions were revenge or retribution. The problem for the Democrats in the latter scenario is that they need to explain the actions taken … Read more
No situation in Washington politics brings about more finger-pointing than a government shutdown. Every politician who has a mic placed in front of them spews the same line: “it’s the other Parties shutdown.” That line addresses the Party line, but also absolves them of having to address what they are doing to avoid the shutdown. … Read more
Cornerstone firmly upholds and defends the sanctity of life, a principle whose devaluation has been tragically exposed in the public response to free-speech activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination. All across the country, a large number of progressives openly celebrated Kirk’s gruesome killing. In the seconds after Kirk was shot, one live audience member stood up, grinning … Read more
Is this Chuckie’s Kobayashi Maru? October 1st is coming like an out-of-control freight train, and I can’t wait for it to get here. Republicans have returned the budget practice to regular rules of order, and Democrats don’t want to do it that way. The correct process involves twelve appropriations bills, one for each department, which … Read more
The Democrats who should be leading this rudderless ship continue to tell us how deep their bench is, but reality shows they are blowing smoke into the wind. If the bench is so deep, why is a self-professed Socialist the Left’s candidate for Mayor of New York City and Minneapolis, Minnesota? If the bench is … Read more
Democrat party leaders have stepped up to defend criminals, drug gangs, and to celebrate violence and murder; it is not just a matter of necessity, but worthy of praise. Their marketing arm, doing business as the Press and entertainment industry, elevates and amplifies their message to normalize crime and violence, even for its victims. And … Read more
