Hands Off our Waste Fraud & Abuse

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-04-12 20:00 +0000
The Democrats scream hands off our waste, fraud, and abuse.

Our ... Read more

A battle is brewing. It has been brewing for years, or even decades. It is a battle over property rights and it may not be what you think it is. It isn’t a battle between the State and the Towns. It is a battle between Towns and property owners.  The NH Constitution states, “All men ... Read more

It’s Not Enough to Just Elect a President and Then Sit Back and Watch

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-11 18:00 +0000
As my dear Mother used to say, “Everything happens for a reason,” and so it was with the Tea Party’s well-reasoned formation for prepping the public’s attitude and involvement back towards the caring and protecting of “God’s country.”  In retrospect, this seemed to be the old “all dressed up and nowhere to go “refrain.  However, ...
