The period from 1765 to 1776 witnessed escalating political, constitutional, and military tensions between Great Britain and the American colonies. Much of the relevant history of this period can be read in Patrick Newman’s Cronyism, especially “The Path to American Independence” and “The American Revolutionary War: The Triumph of Liberty.” Many colonial protests reflected an early … Read more
Platner has a few days left before the deadline, which means I might get to say I told you so if they bring Janet Mills back from the political grave. Compared to Commie Graham, she actually looks like a moderate and will run that way. It’s the best chance they’ve got to unseat the actual … Read more
Greetings, Dear Reader, So what’d I miss? A lot, it looks like. One thing I noticed that I think is funny is the concept some are calling “socialism chic.” SOCIALISM CHIC The thing about the recent boom in popularity for socialism is it’s not even remotely a “workers’ revolution.” In recent elections, the “workers” – … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, the DOJ sent a plain old letter to every state in our Great Union reminding them that it is illegal to let non-citizens vote … and that they could be prosecuting election officials who let it happen under the full force of the law. 00:00 Introduction to Voter Registration Issues02:24 … Read more
I’ve already explained the pervasive doomsday belief of the Iranians and how this makes it impossible to come to any sort of rational conclusion to the Iran conflict. They will lie, cheat, drag their feet while feigning compliance, and ultimately, break any agreement signed or otherwise agreed to, in order to advance their obsession with … Read more
This week on Right Side Up, Alison and Mike discuss the Independence Day celebrations they attended, what some democratic candidates are saying, and carbon markets. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent those of Grok Media, LLC, GraniteGrok.com, its … Read more
I’ve done this more than once, and at the same time, not nearly enough. When something unflattering (ish) happens in the rightosphere, the media grabs its microphones and shoves them in the faces of every Republican they can find to ask them about it. On the left, not so much – if at all. I … Read more
The 4th of July is behind us. Summer is officially here. We are 120 days away from Election Day 2026. These 120 days may be the most important in our history, as they could mark a tipping point. November 3, 2026, might be the beginning of a metamorphosis of America from a Democratic Republic to … Read more

I write you all today because I must. I am no stranger to controversy – I do not shy away from it. However, I also do not actively pursue it. It just seems to find me. It has done so again. Much of my controversy is of a partisan nature – fighting across the aisle. … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, Florida (of course) is showing us how to deal with these liberal judges who keep setting career criminals and killers loose on the unsuspecting public, and it’s what we always wanted. 00:00 Where is the Judicial Accountability01:44 Judicial Decisions and Minority Communities03:35 Impeach ‘Em Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel … Read more
Most Americans can recite the opening lines of one of the two great documents published in 1776. They cannot name the other. In Philadelphia that summer, Thomas Jefferson and his colleagues declared that all men are created equal, endowed with unalienable rights — among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The document they … Read more
New Hampshire can and has bucked the national mid-term trend, but not always. Turnout, of course, is the thing that matters. Issues and debate are important, but turnout decides who wins. In the Granite State. Despite being saddled with useless left-wing tools in Congress, it has consistently preferred Republican Governors and Republican legislative leaders for … Read more
I was forwarded the attached 1988 report on Laurie List, PD James F. McLaughlin, last week. William Dow and Amanda Palmieri of Keene did not forward this to me when I filed a right-to-know request a couple of years ago. Amanda Palmieri was present during the secret hearings in 2024 when James F McLaughlin was … Read more
What do the Ruby Princess and Chris Pappas have in common? That’s not a trick question, and it’s not some gay slur. Both have been at the epicenter of a Norovirus outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that dozens of people on board a cruise ship now docked in California were sickened … Read more
On July 4, 2026, Americans celebrated various people for their roles in founding this country. We can start with Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Franklin, Henry, and continue debating into the night. Somewhere on the list would be Paine—Robert Treat Paine, a Harvard graduate and signer of the Declaration. And, grudgingly for some, another Paine but … Read more
It is nearly 1 am on Sunday morning, and those of us who stayed up were gifted with an incredible show to celebrate Freedom 250. Donald J. Trump is the perfect President to host this party because he shows the resilience, grit, courage, strength, and foresight that make America the greatest country on Earth. People … Read more
Alicia Keyes delivered a soft-spoken and very likely well-meaning message to America on July 5th. Keyes, despite her concerns about women’s rights, rose from a single-parent (mom), multi-racial, low-income beginning to become a multimillionaire music-industry icon. Rob Schneider felt a need to add some context which we were eager to share. 00:00 Alicia Keys confused … Read more
I’ve got to say it’s more than a bit distressing to head into the celebration of our great nation’s 250th birthday on the heels of Democratic Socialists winning a bunch of elections in New York and Colorado. So, this semiquincentennial (yes, I had to look it up, and even my spellcheck still doesn’t believe that’s … Read more
