Free Speech and Religious Rights Case Appears Poised to Do Just That! With apologies to those who couldn’t care less what happens in the nation’s Highest Court, as well as to those who rightly ask why any of it matters. It is, after all, merely a temporary adjustment until some other be-robed hoodlums flip a … Read more
Republicans absolutely should pass Ruth Ward’s proposed “bailout” of the Claremont School District. Why? Because it is not, by any objective or neutral standard, a “bailout.” Rather, it is a commonsense, practical solution to Claremont’s budget deficit that should mitigate “collateral damage” to schoolchildren, such as missing out on sports, extracurricular activities, clubs, etc, with … Read more
This week on GrokTALK! It’s RFKJ’s bloodbath at CDC, Maine Taxpayers pay for Boofing kits (WT?), and it’s OK for Dems to hate Dominion Voting Systems. “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” – Gustav Mahler Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent those of Grok Media, LLC, GraniteGrok.com, … Read more
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
When Justice Has a Price Tag When the City of Nashua spent nearly a million dollars fighting a voluminous 2022 Right-to-Know case, it wasn’t protecting taxpayers and records; it was protecting itself. The case involved the downtown road barriers, a project sold for “downtown vibrancy” but executed with little transparency. I asked for public meeting … Read more
Welcome to Monday and to some much-needed rain in New Hampshire. A problem memes can’t solve (actual drought) unless you mean a meme drought, which is rare, especially around here, at least on our pages. No meme droughts, but when you get to the end, there’s about to be one in Canada. . . . … Read more
In July 2024, Governor Chris Sununu signed House Bill 1014 which requires towns to recognize Columbus Day and not replace it with the woke faux-holiday celebrating indigenous people. Public libraries are generally closed on Columbus Day, so as with all holidays celebrated with a day off for staff, signs are placed prominently at entrances and … 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
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
