Vermont Pretends It “Barely Missed” Its Emissions Reduction Targets

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-03-27 16:00 +0000
Late last year, there was a big to-do about nothing in the Green Mountain State. The “nothing” is that by reducing its “emissions,” Vermont will somehow save something – not money, they are burning that like used tires. It’s okay, it’s not the legislator’s money. However, as the deadline approached, some estimates had them missing ... Read more

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-03-27 02:00 +0000
Maine’s liberal leftist governor Janet Mills was so tough a couple weeks ago, telling Trump that she’d “see you in court” because she wants transgender men to be allowed to compete in women’s sports.  Well, as soon as Maine found out how much money they would lose for violating Title IX statutes (over $100 Million), ...

Does This Mean Planned Parenthood Is Breaking the Law?

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-03-26 12:00 +0000
Planned Parenthood (PP) does a few things well. It ends pregnancies and chases taxpayer dollars. The organization overpays executives, dumps obscene sums into lobbying to get more tax dollars, and runs as a non-profit NGO that pays no taxes. And it complains about funding. In recent years, it jumped on the drug-our-children-train, offering gender services ... Read more
