We have known for years that the pandemic was not the only scourge on Americans. Since 2015, millions of Americans have been afflicted with a serious, incurable disease that affects the ability to think clearly, but also impacts general mental health, usually manifesting in depression, anger, and rage. There is no known cure for this … Read more
Pretending to care about people’s property is so cute, but that’s what Minnesota, of all places, just did. It pretended to care. Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed legislation May 4 banning the installation of crypto ATMs, also known as kiosks, which are commonly found at gas stations and convenience stores. Existing machines must be removed … 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
Is it possible that we’ve passed the peak of Medicaid fraud? Like war-weariness, even the people who were all in from the start are beginning to tire of the exercise. Support and interest wane, as civilian leadership is increasingly pelted with correspondence about when this will be over. In the case of fraud, people working … Read more
Ali Khamenei ruled for thirty-seven years and built an empire on corpses. A US-Israeli airstrike ended his life on February 28, 2026 – and the blood-soaked machine he commanded didn’t blink. Khamenei sat atop Iran’s government in the summer of 1988 while death committees executed thousands of political prisoners in a matter of weeks. Dissidents, students, and … Read more
The moment “they” announced COVID loans, it felt like another laundromat for fraud. And it was. Locally, we’ve had one high-profile case involving Andy Sanborn. Andy was just a Concord business owner in 2009/2010 when the Tea Party rose from nothing. He was showing up at the hearing, talking about the long list of new … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, great news for taxpayers. The DOJ has charged 324 defendants connected to $ 14.6 billion in alleged fraud, including licensed medical professionals, transnational criminals, and drug dealers, defrauding our safety-net programs across 12 states. So, Dems, why did we need to wait for Trump to find and indict all these … Read more
Today on the Morning Update, the SPLC interim Grand Poobah had to defend his organization before Congress, and while it’s galling that the SPLC funded hate and profited from that, and put groups like Moms for Liberty on the Hate Map, it’s not what they did, but how they did it. Watch on the ‘Grok … Read more
For many, it is difficult to imagine the scope of the ongoing fraud. Not just what we know was stolen recently, but in total. The sums are vast and well beyond the understanding of many. How could so many steal so much for so long and go unnoticed? Even a mostly corruptocracy, eager to spend … Read more
The list of things you could ask your local, state, or federal Democrat creature of the night is long, and they won’t answer them anyway. So, you support neutering children? I believe strongly in civil rights for all, bullshitbullshitbullshit, next question. Nor will I promise to be the source of such questions, though I would … Read more
What is it that motivates a governor or president to care about illegal aliens over their constituents and citizens? What is it that motivates the same officials to not only ignore the laws but to force law enforcement to do the same? To get the answer, we need to ask outgoing governor Janet Mills and … Read more
Democrats thought DOGE was a threat to the System? It was and still is. It didn’t go anywhere. The same tech is in use for other means, and that probably includes the new anti-fraud initiative ordered by Trump and led by JD Vance. The NGO fraud was bad, and there’s plenty more of that. ACT … Read more
A unscripted conversation between one-old-conservative and Claude (Anthropic) — April 2026 Backgrounder: This is another in a series of original GraniteGrok articles on Artificial Intelligence (AI), written by one old conservative and Anthropic’s Claude 4.6 from an unscripted chat over breakfast. Before beginning the chat, I uploaded a 260-word text file containing a recap of … Read more
Democrats are not just dirty dogs, they are conniving crooks, the depths of whose malfeasance may never be fully plumbed. The federal welfare fraud has been epic and ignored, if not wholly encouraged. One of Obama’s key initiatives was, after all, to get as many people connected to the federal teat as possible. Biden doubled … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, we all knew there was fraud in federal grants, welfare, aid, and other programs, but it is clear the scope is significant, and democrats (mostly) don’t want it found or are just denying it exists. The Left is going long to prevent people from finding more of it, but I’m … Read more
This week, on GrokTALK! The end of USAID delivered reality sandwiches, some laughs, and important facts about government and “NGOs,” and this conintues, a year after the demolition of that progressive laundromat. And… the online left thinks Trump staged another attempted assassination, but it is progressive culture that is built around disingenuity, fakery, and fraud. … Read more
Minnesota Democrats are making life unaffordable for everyone in the State, it seems, unless you open a learning center. But even that gig has come under fire as Federal fraud investigations look for the nine billion that disappeared up Minnesota’s skirt while Tim Walz was gushing over how great China is, and we know why? … Read more
This week, on GrokTALK! I open with some fun facts: Everyone in Minnesota knew about the fraud, started to do something about it, but Democrats killed, rewrote it, and now it’s toothless. Then I discuss a growing trend among elected officials, at least in New Hampshire, to publicly tell judges they are out of their … Read more
If Ilhan Omar plays her cards right, she can skip the carry-on and go with the traditional suitcase full of American currency. You can forgo the designer bag when you can pack the old black suitcase full of hundred-dollar bills. Seriously, it appears that the tide may be turning on Ilhan and one of her … Read more
