You wanted scalps. Accountability. I can’t count how many memes we’ve shared about do-nothing Congress, or when Trump is going to bring us those scalps. You forgot the problem. We’re not Democrats. If you want it to stick, and the system is still against you, the case has to be tight. It can take years, … Read more
A field report from seven years inside Nashua’s Right-to-Know trenches I’ve filed hundreds of Right-to-Know requests in this city. I’ve sat through more Board of Aldermen meetings than some Aldermen have. I have, at this point, a working knowledge of Nashua’s assessing department, its Trust funds, its Community Development office, the construction and costs of … Read more
A whole bunch of memes, and then some more. Reminder: Memes are memes and are neither vetted nor “fact-checked,” nor to be considered “research,” or taken seriously, nor do they (necessarily) represent the opinion of Grok Media, LLC, GraniteGrok.com, its sponsors, readers, authors, or advertisers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
The title really needed a few more words to capture the entire thought. There are two correct answers to the question, and they fall along Party lines. As we saw in the first Trump term, many of his aides and supporters did jail time, and some of them pleaded guilty to fake charges after being … Read more
Today, on the morning update, more from fellow ‘Grokster Ian Underwood and his talk on education. The problem is one of doing too much, or so much that you can’t do anything well or, in some cases, at all. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. Ep 245 Links: … Read more
Here is what a grassroots group of individuals accomplished in just over a year of planning, praying, and following God’s lead. He is faithful, He is trustworthy, and He provides what is needed to complete His plan. All we need to do is say yes, God, use me. Saturday, August 1st, was our Pilgrims to … Read more
Not everyone had time to watch hours of Veto Day livestreaming or archived videos of our legislature, so it’s important for NH dot gov’s webmaster(s) to make records available to the public in a timely, user-friendly way. Good job, House staff members! Once the whole body steamrolled Her Excellency with a 314-7 roll call in … Read more
Before you vote in November, and you will vote (please), you need to understand something. I know, I’ve articulated a long list of things Democrats would do or will do if they get back in control of anything at any level of government. More crime, less enforcement, no detention of foreign criminals, ending fraud investigations- … Read more
There are only a few possible, feasible explanations for the sudden change in James Carville’s demeanor when someone even whispers DSA. Over the last few months, Carville has been nothing less than apoplectic when anyone suggested that a DSA member was a member of the Democratic Party. Just last week, he was on record saying … Read more
You can’t always get what you want. Rolling Stones. Also, when searching roughly 60,000 pieces of content on GraniteGrok. You want it, but you can’t get it. But “It’s out there, somewhere.” American Tale (Ronstadt and Ingram). In this case, beneath the pale blue-light glow of your device. And in this case it was. It … Read more
TL;DR: The NH Attorney General has submitted a 125-page legal brief to defend the State of New Hampshire Executive branch’s position on overturning the NH Supreme Court’s Claremont decision and its progeny. It’s a battle between the Executive and Judicial branch for control over public education. It’s a Statist argument: it does not restore or … Read more
Vermont Democrats nominated Amanda Janoo as their horse to take on Phil Scott in November’s gubernatorial election, rejecting by a slim margin the putatively more moderate alternative, Aly Richards, and in doing so decided to go – as many in their party have – full-on communist. Though Janoo doesn’t formally claim the Democratic Socialist party … Read more
Today on the Morning Update, another DSA darling ascends as the Democratic nominee to a general election, this time in Florida, where we hope she has no chance whatsoever. But? We’re here to help, just in case – because you’ve got douche whistles in your state running for local and federal elections as well, and … Read more
How we, the people, remain free isn’t the easy path. It requires the willingness to self-educate, to accept the mission passed on from the generation before, and to put country first. The words of the Declaration of Independence did not change history; the commitment of the fifty-six signers did. For they all knew, as Ben … Read more
I know I’ve been beating this donkey-skinned drum for a while, but the difference between the DNC and the DSA can be boiled down to this. Two letters, same priorities, just slightly different trajectories, rapidly approaching the furthest left possible alignment. They both claim to hate the rich, love criminals more than law-abiding citizens, “other” … Read more
This week on Right Side Up, Alison and Mike discuss the Primary election, voter options for affordability, cybersecurity in Vermont, and a much-needed change in direction. 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, … Read more
You won’t have had any trouble finding a suitable amount of justified outrage over Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signing the death-at-birth warrant, doing business as the Orwellian-sounding “Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act.” Prioritizing what? I remember when babies were patients, especially in the third trimester, when they are more than capable of surviving outside … Read more
Nashua taxpayers deserve full transparency, accuracy, and candor from their elected officials. Recent developments, however, raise serious concerns about how Mayor Jim Donchess and the Board of Aldermen are managing the City’s finances, and how residents are being informed about those decisions. The FY2026 budget initially presented to residents totaled $474,895,381. Yet the City now … Read more

The dangerously flawed structure of the New Hampshire judiciary, administrative offices of the court, judicial conduct committee, and attorney disciplinary office is finally being exposed. TL;DR: It is well past time for this, especially when we find out that a State Police Officer involved in digital investigations has been covered up for five years for … Read more
