MACDONALD: FYI – GraniteGrok Did Not Endorse Scott Brown for US Senate

3 hours 45 min ago

‘Grok contributor Julie Smith wrote an opinion piece last week in which she endorsed Scott Brown in New Hampshire’s increasingly crowded US Senate Republican primary. The giveaway that it was her endorsement was that the headline began with ‘SMITH’ followed by the words “I Am Supporting Scott Brown and So Should You.” In the event ... Read more

MACDONALD: If Blacks Voted Republican

Sun, 2025-10-26 21:00 +0000

I don’t get a vote that guarantees me a Republican member of Congress. Still, Democrats are complaining that if the Supreme Court changes the Voting Rights Act, Republicans will gain seats in the US House once held by Democrats, as if Democrats are better for Black Americans. First, the right to vote does not come ... Read more

ROPER: The Solution to the SNAP & LIHEAP Crisis – Open the Government!

Sun, 2025-10-26 18:00 +0000

With SNAP (food stamps) and LIHEAP (home heating) benefits for low-income Vermonters set to be turned off in November if the federal government doesn’t reopen ASAP, state and local politicians are scrambling to find alternative solutions. So far, despite vague promises, they don’t have any. Nothing concrete and actionable, at any rate. LIHEAP in Vermont ... Read more

MACDONALD: Trump Admin Continues to Rescue “Missing” Children Dems Dismissed as Lost

Sun, 2025-10-26 16:00 +0000

The Biden Administration set many precedents—firsts, if you like. Most of them are bad to awful. Misplacing children is high on the list. The total is somewhere around 300,000, which isn’t exactly a glowing endorsement for the lie that he cared about undocumented aliens. Like blacks, women, gays, and so on, immigrants are just another ... Read more

Sun, 2025-10-26 09:00 +0000

Americans struggling with grocery budgets will have noticed that the cost of beef has been particularly high. The Trump administration inherited the problem of elevated meat and grocery prices, which had been exacerbated by broad inflation during the Biden administration. Numerous pressures have pushed steak and hamburger prices to new highs. President Trump recently proclaimed ... Read more

The only city I know where they demolish an entire building, and build a totally new one is Las Vegas, Nevada!  Grafton County ain’t Vegas, baby! In my opinion, after following Grafton County Commissioners’ Meetings via ZOOM since June of 2024 (except for the 17-week unilateral and arbitrary Blackout of ZOOM meetings by Chairwoman Martha ...

The Los Angeles County Public Health Officer wants everyone to know that while they’ve identified three cases of the more virulent strain of Monkeypox (MPOX), “At this time, no clear link has been identified between the cases.” More like we can’t say what the link is cuz reasons.

ROPER: The Lynching of Sam Douglass

Sat, 2025-10-25 16:00 +0000

Senator Sam Douglass was in a group chat of Young Republicans where some people did say some truly disgusting things. There were undeniably antisemitic and anti-black racist terms used, and comments made. This came to light in an article by the hard-left, deeply partisan site, Politico, based on leaked transcripts. The Politico article was posted ... Read more

SMITH: I Am Supporting Scott Brown and So Should You

Sat, 2025-10-25 14:00 +0000

Before anyone tells me how unimportant my input is or reminds me of my previous article supporting Dan Innis, there are some things to consider.  Let’s start by remembering that a federal senatorial race is a statewide election.  Unlike a presidential election, only NH voters get to vote (lawfully and in theory), which makes it ...

MACDONALD: Are Dems Holding Out for Shutdown Stockholm Syndrome?

Sat, 2025-10-25 11:00 +0000

Dems squandered weeks of opportunity to address issues that were important to them. DHHS has a budget, and renewing the over-inflated, over-reaching COVID tax credits in the Unaffordable Care Act could have been part of those negotiations. Instead, they demanded it, along with some other crap, and held the entire government hostage. And that’s a ... Read more

Sat, 2025-10-25 02:00 +0000

The state of Louisiana has become the focal point of longstanding tensions between the well-intentioned goals of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to prevent racial discrimination and the specific provisions of the Constitution mandating that all citizens be treated equally, regardless of skin color.

MACDONALD: CO2 is Not a Pollutant

Fri, 2025-10-24 21:00 +0000

We can’t say this enough. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. It is chemically incapable of achieving a tipping point. Accumulation leads to saturation, resulting in a decline in radiative forcing. There’s even evidence that the majority of the (irrelevant) rise has very little to do with human activity. CO2 is not just good for ... Read more
