Grok Media LLC and GraniteGrok.com have completed the site design evolution from a state-level hobby blog to one built for a much wider audience while maintaining a solid grasp on its New Hampshire roots. Future growth demanded it, and the response has been very positive. However, to continue improving and growing, we need donors and ... Read more
Don’t vote for Ayotte . . . unless she recants what she wrote in her 2019 pandemic book: Ending the Cycle of Crisis and Complacency in U.S. Global Health Security. In her book Ayotte discusses the need to: Much of so-called “misinformation” that was censored during the 2020 Covid pandemic turned out to be quite accurate. ... Read more
Windsor County has long been a Democrat and Progressive stronghold. Its largest town, Hartford, has voted overwhelmingly blue (approximately 70%) since at least as long as they’ve used Dominion voting machines, maybe even longer. However a shift has been taking place of late, and one person who finds herself at the center of it is ... Read more
Oil, coal, petrol, and natural gas replacements require obscene amounts of concrete, metal, plastics, electronics, and rare earth metals, all moved by heavy equipment from manufacturing facilities. None of this is possible without coal, gas, or oil. Net Zero, in other words, is another lie. Like saying you’re going to end child trafficking by trafficking ... Read more
If you’re planning your New England wedding and want kids to feel welcome, there are plenty of Boston wedding venues that can make your dreams come true. That’s right, they’ll allow (and even encourage) kids to join in on the happy occasion. Surprised? If you’ve been searching high and low in Bean Town for the ... Read more
It has been nearly ten years since (then) Governor Maggie Hassan signed the hands-free law prohibiting motor vehicle operators from using handheld electronic devices. We were told it would reduce traffic fatalities (Death on the Highway!). I never believed it and suggested things would get worse. They did. New Hampshire reported 95 motor vehicle-related deaths ...

The Democrat Party appears to have gone so far to the left that they now are acting like Marxist revolutionaries. It would also appear that they have joined forces with the global elitists to foment hate and chaos, even if unofficially and clandestinely… “Dazed and Confused,” Led Zeppelin – “you hurt and abuse, tellin’ all ...

One week after our detailed report on Eastern Equine Encephalitis, two more New Hampshire residents have since tested positive. The headline reads Two Hospitalized, but if you read the short report, they were released (one from Derry, the other from Newmarket). If they had EEE in its rare and potentially fatal form, I doubt they ... Read more
When James Madison agreed to be the scrivener at the Constitutional Convention during the summer of 1787, he could not have known that just four years later he’d be the chair of the House of Representatives committee drafting the Bill of Rights. In doing so, he insisted that the word “the” precede the phrase “freedom ... Read more
Some people claiming to be scientists unexpectedly discovered that the temperature history of planet Earth is like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. It is all over the place and mostly hotter than today. This is not a discovery. Eighth graders used to know this until recently (not sure there is time for it with all the ... Read more
Voters should remember that Democrats voted overwhelmingly against parental rights this last legislative session. I’m not sure when our fundamental rights as parents became a partisan issue. Something happened that caused Democrats to stand squarely against parental rights. Democrats do not consider due process in this decision either. When it comes to your child going ... Read more
California bleeds money, so it needs jackpot justice to line the bottomless pit into which it tosses taxpayer dollars. Exxon-Mobile is a big target that should be hard to miss, but the Left Coast’s environmental action has consistently failed to deliver. Exxon-Mobile has better lawyers and arguments but addiction doesn’t countenance common sense so Cali ... Read more
Last week’s M.A.P. Camp incident raised the ire of Vermonters who rightly feel threatened on behalf of children. As a result the exposure has led to even more disturbing discoveries about the intentions of these would be wolves in sheep’s clothing. After hearing from MAP Union we went to their site only to find they ... Read more
This is a reminder that Superintendents throughout New Hampshire are not willing to remove pornographic books from the school library. However, in Bow, their Superintendent is willing to stop a parent from wearing a wristband with XX written on it. This is the state of public education in New Hampshire. If you are not familiar ...

One of the earliest memorable advertising campaigns for robbing you blind to “fix” the climate depicted a polar bear perched on a sliver of sea ice. The tiny island getaway was getting away from where we were told it belonged and taking the polar bears with it. The bears have outlasted that narrative, as they ... Read more
Details are starting to emerge surrounding the apparent pedophile meet-up at a Vermont campground located outside of the state capitol in the small town of Plainfield, VT. A town meeting held in Marshfield on September 17th and was attended by several dozen community members with many others attending online. At the meeting the owner of ... Read more
I’d never heard of this loser until today. His name is Misah Pride (sounds made up to me). He is the mayor of South Portland. It’s across the Fore River from North Portland. It is safer than the way Joyce Craig left Manchester, NH (most cities are), is mostly white, picked Biden over Trump in ... Read more
Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced H.R. 7909-Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act in April. The summary of the bill: This bill establishes that domestic violence crimes and sex offenses shall be grounds for making a non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) inadmissible and deportable. The bill applies to any non-U.S. national who has admitted to ... Read more
I keep thinking that his missive below is just because of stupidity. Or it is purely ideological in nature, given his vociferous attempts on Policy JBAB to ensure suppression of the Free Speech of students and adults on school property concerning “preferred pronouns.” And that Staff can be forced by the School Board’s policy to ...
