The Committee on the Future of Public Education is circulating an online survey to gauge public awareness and opinions regarding Act 73, the public education reform law that intends to restructure and consolidate Vermont’s school districts. While the introduction to the survey references that “The law was enacted in response to residents’ concerns about high … Read more
This week on the Elsa Kurt show, government gridlock bleeds into daily life as paychecks stall, airports slow, and families shoulder the cost. We track THC-impaired driving data, a volatile Virginia AG race, Rutgers’ “Dr. Antifa,” and the NFL’s halftime calculus—then end with a rare glimmer of Middle East diplomacy. Speakers’ opinions are their own … Read more
I’m calling on all like-minded Granite Staters to mark their calendars for Tuesday, November 4, regardless of whether they live in a city. If you live in a city, you should already know when your local election is, who to vote for, and who you need to get rid of. If you live in a … Read more
The City of New York needs money, so they are suing social media companies on the grounds that their platforms are dangerous and addictive to children. New York City filed a new lawsuit accusing Facebook, Google, Snapchat, TikTok and other online platforms of fueling a mental health crisis among children by addicting them to social … Read more
Busy, Burdened, and Broke From the outside, the court seemed to be managing a docket. In reality, it was managing appearances. No one, not the judge nor the City’s lawyers, acknowledged that the process itself had become unjust. The goal was never to expedite, but to delay. Inside City Hall, word had already spread that … Read more
Steve MacDonald was kind enough to share “RINO-Russ Barry” (a/k/a State Rep Ross Berry) Is Gaslighting You About “Local Control” And Property Taxes on his Granite Grok blog. Thank you, Steve! We noticed that State Rep Dan McGuire didn’t like our posting. We’ll share his criticism below, and then respond. Note that the focus of “RINO-Russ Barry” (a/k/a State Rep … Read more
They tried to kill President Trump at least twice. He got shot once and came back fighting. His enemies charged him, arrested him, tried him on flimsy, bogus charges, and he kept coming. States attempted to remove him from their ballots to prevent him from winning the nomination, but he continued to fight. Trump gave … Read more
Exposing Political Lies, Media Distortions, and the Weaponization of Race The recent controversy surrounding Charlie Kirk, falsely accused of making racist remarks about Black women, reveals a deeper truth about how race and politics are weaponized in America today. Contrary to viral claims, Kirk never generalized Black women. Instead, he critiqued four prominent figures—Joy Reid, … Read more
A. J. Kierstead breaks down a crazy CNN Health article that guilts inhaler users for climate change, Chinese players buying New Hampshire property, Vermont has 552 public employees living out of state, and the saga of NH Supreme Court Justice Marconi returning to the bench.
Off and on for two plus years, we’ve been pointing at Canada and saying, they’re going to “suicide” people for their organs. The entire government-assisted suicide project is one big slippery slope to begin with, so making it more like China wasn’t a hard call to make. The system creates the problems, but it can … 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
In an era where truth is increasingly subordinated to comfort, my colleague and a close friend, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff (an intrepid Austrian counter-jihad activist and human rights and free speech advocate), stands as a beacon of unyielding courage. Sabaditsch-Wolff has endured personal persecution for daring to voice historical facts that challenge prevailing sensitivities. Her October 2025 speech … Read more
When the Courts Turn Hostile Courts dread seeing a self-represented litigant walk through their doors, especially one challenging city government. In Nashua, that dread turns to hostility. Over five years of fighting for transparency, I’ve learned how the local court system uses its power not to ensure fairness, but to exhaust and financially break citizens … Read more
Earlier this week, I sent a list of questions to all four candidates in the race for Mayor of Rochester, New Hampshire. Given who is running, the unique situations in that corner of the state, and a flurry of interest from several readers, it seemed like something worth doing. Of the four, only two responded, … Read more
In the classic horror-crime blockbuster, The Silence of the Lambs, the serial killer named Buffalo Bill, for his practice of skinning his victims, was a transgender man. He was skinning his female victims to build himself a body suit. Yes, I know. It’s Hollywood, but we have to talk about what’s happening today. Have you … Read more
(Manch Talk 10/08/25) This week on Manch Talk, did you know you can buy a house in the Free State for Bitcoin—right now? Did you know Porcupine Real Estate is the OG of this revolution, quietly closing deals where digital meets dirt? Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent those of Grok Media, … Read more
Television scriptwriters often project their paradigms onto their characters, who then repeat these words for us to hear. The priest is always the pedophile. Political violence is right-wing. And anyone who claims to be a sovereign citizen is a nut job and deserves a Federal 5 am raid before they do significant harm.. In reality, … Read more
I have been raising grass-fed beef in Vermont for about 25 years, so maybe I’m a tad biased about what some may regard as a fad. However, the trend is gaining momentum worldwide. More people have come to appreciate the health benefits of consuming grass-fed beef, as well as the additional ethical and environmental advantages … Read more
I was thinking about the old Batman and Robin television serial and how Robin was always saying Holy this or that, Batman. There are websites that collect them all. And I was wondering what one might be if that show were still on, related to the meme space. Holy, you’re a meme, Batman! I’m sure … Read more
In the wake of multiple tragic incidents of political violence, Rep. Laura Sibilia (I-Dover) recently penned an op-ed calling for respect, participation, open-mindedness, and dialogue with those with whom we disagree. “Too often,” she writes, “when people talk about those they [emphasis added] disagree with, I hear ‘they’ or ‘them.’ Used this way, these words are vague … Read more
