We can lump this into the “your COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective” category. While I’m at it, we should add the Hunter Biden Laptop (Disinformazia), The Steel Dossier, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, and everything that comes out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth. The Covington kids, everything the media claimed in Trump 1.0, and … Read more
What do the impending, across-the-board Trump administration and Congressional cuts to federal education, energy, and human services mean to Vermont? Ask this question to legislators and advocates in the State House and the response is like a Greek chorus chanting, ‘We don’t know, we don’t know, we don’t know.’ (Whether the play is a comedy … Read more
The sun rises, the water is wet, and just like guns, Democrats hate nullification until they love it. Dems love guns as long as they control whoever controls the guns. The same can be said for nullification, the idea that states have veto power over federal demands. And we agree. States have rights, and lots … Read more
Oh my, did Governor Janet Mills really yell out to the President of the United States that she would “See you in court?” I heard it live and played it back many times, to be sure, but yes, she said it. It must have been a slip of the tongue or an out-of-body experience. Nobody … Read more
This week marked the end of the first month of the second Trump Presidency. It’s only been a month. Feels longer, yes? In a good way. Not for the Swamp creatures. Democrats and bureaucrats (almost always the same thing) are lawyering up against risk of lawsuits while others have filed scores of lawsuits. The proglodytes … Read more
The wailing sound you heard last Thursday was the chorus of the Beltway warmongers shrieking in despair at President Trump’s suggestion that there was no reason for the United States to be spending one trillion dollars on “defense.” “…[O]ne of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China and President … Read more
This week, Phil Kerpen from American Commitment joined me to discuss President Donald Trump’s agenda, DOGE, appointments, legal challenges, independent agencies, trade, the deficit, tax cuts, what we need from Congress, and more! Please like, follow, or subscribe to The ‘Grok on Rumble and YouTube and check for Replays of Granite State Live, GrokTALK! and Right Side Up, or … Read more
The cost of everything was already up thanks to bad economic policy. Inflation got so bad that it started to harm the so-called green energy industry. The elite’s response to that was to print more money and give it to the greenwashers, which just made inflation worse. But that wasn’t enough. Busy-body lefties piled regulations … Read more
The Democrats have two choices. They can put their collective heads together and come up with solutions, which will never happen because, even collectively, there is no level of intelligence to develop solutions. They can put their tails between their legs and work with the Republicans, who have the majority support of Americans on key … Read more
President Trump upended US Middle East policy by announcing that the United States would “take over” war-ravaged Gaza and turn it into “the Riviera of the Middle East.” President Trump also said the Palestinians living in Gaza would be (temporarily?) relocated to Jordan or Egypt. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul came out strongly against the proposal. … Read more
If you missed it, Skip and I spent a moment on a recent episode of GrokTALK! considering why GraniteGrok is getting every White House press email. I think it was because we were on Trump’s White House Press Corps list after covering a rally in Manchester in 2018 from the Media Platform. I still have … Read more
The lack of homework and research, the inability to track what is happening, and letting all that show. Like the clueless teacher in high school who gets a “Kick Me!” sign taped to his back without realizing what has been done to him. Emphasis mine, but only here on the ‘Grok. This time, the Clueless … Read more
The Executive Order Trump Train hasn’t lost any momentum even as we near the one-month mark in office. As an aside, anyone who was wondering what might happen in the first 100 days is curious as to whether he can keep this up for 100 days. By “keep up,” I mean what could be next. … Read more
In Part 1, I talked about actions you could take if someone on the Left calls you a Fascist. A vile term meant to stop any further conversation because you are evil beyond compare and unworthy of consideration or debate. But when challenged to define Fascism, Stephen Sheehy, who called Trump a Fascist, ghosted further … Read more
We begin by paraphrasing the theory that for every action there’s a reaction. While not intended, this emotional base, which the democrats feed from, is now providing ample validation to Trump’s resounding comeback win. Orators are majestic with their word mastery, but words fail to whitewash the democrat’s complete loss for any political decorum or … Read more
President Donald Trump let fly a flurry of executive orders in his first week as president. Among those was a reaffirmation of the US Constitution’s First Amendment prohibitions against government regulation of Americans’ liberties to speak and communicate free of government censorship. Volumes of evidence now point to blatant violations of this vital constitutional restraint … Read more
The noise about Elon Musk is not about the separation of powers, a Constitutional Crisis, or destroying America or our Democracy. The last one angers me because these people should know we are a Republic, not a Democracy. The noise about Elon Musk ranges from he is unelected and unconfirmed to a crook, a thief, … Read more
Riffing off my previous post about Trump (and us) being called a fascist over at “Lessons from the past about how to deal with American tariffs” I had ended it by admitting that I riled up the proprietor of Carbon Upfront!, Lloyd Alter over how Trump used the threat of a tariff against Canada and … Read more
One of President Trump’s earliest outrages was renaming things from mountains to army bases. Maybe the un-re-naming of them is a better way to say it. The virtue-signalers that preceded this administration (following in the footsteps of a previous “previous” administration) burnished its paper-thin resume by renaming things like Mt McKinley. That 2015 change turned … Read more
Americans as a people are quite fond of balls. From the relatively tiny balls in and airplane’s ball bearings that our government will happily purchase for forty-six thousand times standard markup, to the large and incredibly private masked balls the same people who make up the government like to parade themselves about with their eyes … Read more
