WHO LET THE D.O.G.E. OUT

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-02-19 23:00 +0000
The Department of Governmental Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) reminds me of an old song titled “Who Let the Dogs Out”. The miracle of Google allowed me to review the lyrics!

You Have Lost Your Right To Critique Donald Trump

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-02-19 11:00 +0000
The Democrats have two choices.

Transitioning (from Schools to Education)

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-02-18 23:00 +0000
I was recently asked:  How would you go about eliminating public schools?
