A pending Connecticut bill that would ban Styrofoam take-out packaging and impose numerous other mandates on restaurants in the Constitution State illustrates the classic metaphor of roads to Hell being paved with good intentions. Some restaurants perceive that Connecticut’s constitution is being crumpled up and burned in the legislature’s drive to stop Styrofoam from being … Read more
Eric Swallwell is a partisan douchebag. I don’t even need to produce receipts for anyone who pays the slightest bit of attention. Whatever hyperbolic left-wing bullshit is on the menu, he is one of the first ones out of the kitchen to serve it. But that’s not why people who hold care even know who … Read more
The Left has found an alternative to the old-fashioned rose-colored glasses of optimism. The new version is the smokey-gray colored glasses of cynicism and pure hatred. This new relationship phase that has come about with the ever-widening divide between the Left and Right goes far beyond the tongue-in-cheek chatter about Trump Derangement Syndrome. TDS started … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, it’s the nutjobs in any movement you have to watch out for, and history is full of lessons about how nut-job radicals define your movement for you, if you don’t step up and deal with them yourself.

This week on GrokTALK!, a flashback episode: I am in the middle of a “studio” update, what of it there is, and have not been able to complete all the changes (new PC, monitors, camera, cabling – set up, excuses, excuses) in time to get a new episode shot, edited, and published. More power, better … Read more
I want to say I saw the first X post on this Friday night, and sure, news breaks on X all the time, but it is usually linked to something you can actually put your virtual hands on. President Trump, hospitalized in serious condition, began propagating across the platform. I ignored it after a quick … Read more
I am happy to announce what I hope is an incentive to support independent media and GraniteGrok.com. Free stuff. Our first foray into this something-for-something landscape is an 18-page E-Book called ‘Democrats Destroy Everything They Touch.’ It is a primer, using a handful of my past essays sorted and formatted for easy reading, that reminds … Read more

I do not put much stock in the inner thoughts of Michelle Obama because I do not think she is qualified to make such a broad sweeping statement. I believe the country is more than ready for a female chief executive, just not her. Folks on the Left talk like Mrs. Obama is destined to … Read more

When you watch your favorite news source or listen to the radio or podcasts, you know you are getting either a news or an opinion interpretation of the subject, and they can be very different.

I’d like to say this is not the exception and more the norm, but we know it’s not, and not just from schools. Cities like Nashua exist to use government resources and waste taxpayers’ dollars to defend their partisan personal interests. Governmental bodies, flush with other people’s cash, bonded staff, and large insurance policies, especially … Read more
Allowing parents to send their child to another district, is a great idea. But the current open enrollment program undermines our right to local self-governance. It forces parents to pay taxes to the district they are trying to leave, and disenfranchises them in the district they want to join. They become outsiders without a voice … Read more
