Homeschooling on the Rise Globally

Granite Grok - 4 hours 56 min ago
Attempt to regulate homeschooling faces furious opposition. Once considered the exception rather than the rule, more parents are choosing a homeschooling education over public schools as the best path for their children. A recent Illinois initiative, however, would compel registration of parents who teach their children outside the government’s oversight, revealing the popularity of what ... Read more

2A FREEDOM RALLY 2025

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-04-07 22:00 +0000
Watching the nursing home/assisted living field trip protests yesterday made me wonder why it is more people don’t come out to RALLY for our 2nd Amendment Rights and against those trying to take our actual rights away. We shouldn’t HAVE to have a 2A rally every year, but EVERY YEAR, the gun control crowd pushes ... Read more

The World Responds To Trump Tariff Threat – 50+ Nations Already Want Free and Fair Trade …

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-04-07 20:00 +0000
I want to believe that the Trump Administration already knew this would happen. They had inside knowledge from existing talks or calls that if they publicly unveiled their Tariff plan, two things would happen: The Democrats would overreact, and scores of trading partners would line up to do a deal. Sorry, I’m not that MAGA, ... Read more

Clean Cars & Trucks Heading for a Crash

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-04-07 18:00 +0000
With the Clean Heat Standard in a political coma and the proposed Cap & Invest program dead in its crib, the last global warming agenda domino standing is the Clean Cars and Trucks initiative, which phases out the sale of new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2035 and starts limiting sales in 2026. And ... Read more

The Big Lie: Tax Cut For The Billionaires

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-04-07 14:00 +0000
It sets my hair on fire when Democrats end every thought with the canned line, “So he can give tax breaks to billionaires.” It is so phony and rehearsed that I wonder if they actually believe the words themselves. As a matter of fact, with the plethora of lies emanating from their lips, can they ... Read more

Trump Says He’ll Support Chris Sununu for US Senate

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-04-07 12:00 +0000
The “will he run or won’t he” rumor mill just took an interesting turn. I’m referring to former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. He’s hinted at past Senate runs and even dipped a toe into the presidential race pool (the water was cold). Outsiders have been happy to speculate while those of us inside know ... Read more

Summer Debunks The Daycare Fallacy

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-04-07 10:00 +0000
Every summer, kids are out of school for about 80 days, almost 3 months. So, what do parents do with their kids during that time?   It’s not like their jobs end.  It’s not like they can take 3 months off of work to look after their kids. And yet, the kids get taken care of. ... Read more

Britain—Like France and Spain—Is Poorer than Mississippi

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-04-07 02:00 +0000
Over the past year, pundits and columnists have been forced to keep asking why Europe’s economy is stagnating and falling behind the US economy. Many of those asking the question are Europeans. One European headline reads “Why Europe is falling behind the USA,” and Le Monde tells us that compared to the United States, “The gap with European ... Read more

The Stock Market Is For Rich People Until Its Not

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-04-06 20:00 +0000
It’s a great time to buy stock in reliable names with low prices—companies with a history of stability and growth. You could make a killing over the long term. Dollar cost averaging will work in favor of any long-term investor doing that (401 Ks and the like). Day traders should see opportunities to take in ... Read more

We Were Paying for What? Trump HHS Slashes Hundreds of Millions in Woke LGBTQ Grants

EFAs: Limit Time, Not Income

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-04-06 14:00 +0000
The premise of Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs) is that some kids are trapped in schools that aren’t serving them, so they should be able to escape. But the idea can’t be to facilitate the breakout by creating a dependency that lasts for years afterward. The idea can’t be to get them to kick heroin by ... Read more

Zero Day – A Democrat Daydream Projecting Abuse of Power?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-04-06 12:00 +0000
Netflix is famous for reimagining things to impress the wokeosphere. No, it’s not just them, but no one gets ribbed on about it quite as much. Therefore, it seems natural for the streaming giant to deliver more programming with that stamp on it. Zero Day is not just a fantasy but a true political reimaging. ... Read more

Just Say No To Federal Grants

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-04-06 02:00 +0000
When I first ran for Alderman, I knew that Nashua, like many other cities, utilized FEDERAL grants. However, within my first few months in office, I realized the extent of our city’s dependency on them. As an increasing amount came through the chamber, I concluded that these were not exceptions—they had become the rule. I ... Read more
