It isn’t making news, probably because the left and its army of militant wine-moms, the toxic empathy army, is distracted by the paid-protester pay day in Minnesota. But that’s starting to wind down. And while there are plenty of opportunities for paid protesters to make “a living wage” by pretending to be angry about something … Read more

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, We Want to Hear It. … Read more
In what strikes me as a confluence of left-wing interests, Levita Almuete Ferrer, henceforth to be known as “A Maryland Woman,” has been indicted for robbing taxpayers of over $657,347.50 while working for the Biden State Department. The (now) former employee has pleaded guilty to using government computers and access to expense accounts to write … Read more
In every procedural/cop show Hollywood produces, there are two tropes the writers can’t leave out. It’s as if they are required and will lose their guild membership if they do. Lawyering up is bad (sold as a sign of guilt), as is requiring a warrant before any search. I could go downtown and get a … Read more
Democrats keep finding the energy to get mad about everything, everywhere, all the time. They’re good at it, so this is like ‘Leg Day’ every day. The latest outrage is the neutering of AmeriCorps in its current form. Several states have sued, including Vermont, but one of my earliest “political” exposures to AmeriCorps was when … Read more
Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell – The Daily Signal The Department of Agriculture has worked with the Department of Government Efficiency to slash millions in woke spending projects, from a $300,000 contract educating queer and transgender farmers to $5 million to keep trees alive. “Probably the most stunning for me was the $500,000 grant to study transgenderism in mice,” … Read more
In the past few weeks, there has been a massive outcry from the public library community that the defunding of a recent target of DOGE – the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) – will lead to the obliteration of library services that patrons have come to depend on and that the IMLS has … Read more
It is very frustrating to see the protests, rallies, and news reports about President Trump and Elon Musk working hard to destroy our economy and democracy. All these activities are done by people ignorant of the facts or feeding an agenda. Either way, these people are pawns of the Left who are aiding and spreading … Read more
Here’s an inconvenient truth. For all the caterwailing, wailing, pearl-clutching, and gnashing of baby teeth, Donald Trump has not yet achieved the kind of planned executive branch attrition achieved by William Jefferson Clinton. During the 1990s, President Bill Clinton reduced the size of the federal civilian workforce from roughly 2.2 million to 1.8 million, largely through … Read more
The American system was founded on a simple idea: three branches of government, each with its distinct role. The president executes the law, Congress creates it, and the judiciary interprets it. However, at some point, activist judges became more than just referees; they began seeing themselves as emperors, wielding gavels like scepters and rewriting the … Read more
The term “spring cleaning” refers to a long overdue responsibility that addresses the need—in the case of our government—for a return to its constitutionally mandated size. Owning up to this duty will uproot everything that has illegally been established. This unhindered growth is a testament to the tenure of public ignorance, which has been force-fed … Read more
Elon Musk, the relentless force driving electric vehicle dominance and SpaceX into the cosmos, has redirected his insatiable appetite for disruption toward an unexpected target: the sprawling machinery of the U.S. federal government. On January 20, 2025, through an executive order signed by President Trump, Musk took charge of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a new entity … Read more

We’re approaching eight weeks under the new Trump administration, and it is still nearly impossible to cover all the movement on any given day. This administration came out of the gate like a greyhound and continues to whip up a whirlwind of change on a daily basis. That’s 56 calendar days for victims of the … Read more
…Fraud It takes commitment to defend whatever USAID was doing with our taxdollars, especially now that we know. The same can be said for the bufaoons at Treasury. Writing blank checks to whoever without a way to identify what it was for and which legislation authorized it. We had a way; they just chose to … Read more
I’m not certain why we still have a US Department of Agriculture. To pay farmers not to grow stuff. To grow some stuff instead of other stuff. To kill healthy chickens so they don’t get bird flu (farmers get nothing if the birds die on their own, or so I hear). It also wastes millions … Read more
All of the major networks ran the latest episode of Middle School America Tuesday night with this season’s blockbuster storyline centering around Trump’s latest STFU (Stop the Fraud & Usury) speech. The speech was delivered to a joint session of congress at approximately 9 p.m. EST when most of the country’s mature viewers had mercifully … Read more
DCNFThe court cases are coming fast and furious to attempt to stop President Trump’s efforts to streamline the federal government. On Friday a federal judge in San Francisco put a halt on the administration’s plans to fire even probationary employees was unlawful. The Supreme Court upheld Trump’s ability to freeze foreign aid. In another ruling last week, a federal … Read more
