These Hearings Are More Retribution Than Confirmation

The confirmation process for the president’s cabinet members, ambassadors, and principal officers of his administration is twofold. The president’s responsibility is to nominate people who are qualified for the job, align with the commander-in-chief’s vision, and are of high character. The Senate then performs its duty to advise and consent through committee hearings and a … Read more

Will NH Fly The Flag Full Staff on Inauguration Day?

There are so many things demanding our attention that lots of things never attract at all or, just as likely, more current distractions have elbowed past knowledge out of the way, with a few of them falling off our memory radar altogether. This might be one of them. Biden ordered all flags flown at half-staff … Read more

Trees Fall & Lines “Slap” in California

The fires in California are not caused by wind. The fires needed a spark. The world is watching as: “the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet.” Gov.

Those Climate Apocalypse Predictions Have Worn Thin

As I have had to say WAY too many times here at GraniteGrok, I’ve been around since before the first Earth Day. I’ve lived through the mainstream media’s yammering that “We’re all gonna die” – not from Global Warming but from an incipient Ice Age that was descending upon us. For well over 50 years, … Read more

O’Keefe Busts National Security Stooge Undermining Trump Presidency

You may, by now, know the name Jamie Mannina. Long story short, he worked for the FBI and Hillary for President, after which his focus was Russian and Chinese election interference. Based on the reporting, he’s still clinging to the debunked Russia Collusion narrative from 2016. I wonder if this counter-intelligence expert also believes Hunter’s … Read more

What Happened To ABC’s ‘Layers’ of “Fact-Checkers”?

Who let this go through on something as basic as the US Constitution? “Can birthright citizenship be repealed? Breaking down Trump’s proposal.”It looks like another anti-Trump dig, poke, and scree.

Canada Would Like Your Organs Before They Kill You

Canada is ready for a political change. Justin Trudeau is at the end of his political leash and has promised to step down as soon as his tyrannical party agrees to a replacement.

You Called A Presser To Brag About Failing

Bureaucracy ALWAYS Comes First.

Even in LA right now, where over 10,000 structures have burnt to the ground, rendering people destitute because those former homeowners couldn’t afford the premiums – thanks to the State and its policies on insurance.

He Challenged Price Controls in Peking

Who is going to make better economic decisions? A smallish group of self-deluded “we know all that is necessary/we know better than you do” narcissists or millions of people making self-interested decisions outside of anyone’s control? It is the First Law of Supply and Demand: Prices are competed to that level at which people want … Read more
