Left Tells JD Vance He Is Not Catholic Enough

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-08 23:00 +0000
I challenge you to give me the name of one person on the Left who has the credentials to judge someone’s level of commitment to religion.

House Dems Try to ‘Vermont’ New Hampshire

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-08 21:00 +0000
It is important to remember this maxim when considering anything Democrats do or say. There is never enough of someone else’s money. Never. The government can never be too big or meddlesome. There is no limit to the amount of money it should waste on progressive friends and family. You cannot spend too much; therefore, ... Read more

Doubling Down on Stagnation at Davos

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-08 19:00 +0000
Many market participants appeared astonished to learn that Von Der Leyen and Scholz in Davos were steadfastly pursuing the policies that have severely damaged the EU. However, this is typical bureaucratic behavior. In a predictable move, EU bureaucrats have chosen to exploit the new Trump administration as an external enemy, rather than seizing the opportunity to unleash the immense potential of their economies. ...

Why the Mainstream Media Is in Trouble

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-08 11:00 +0000
As most everyone knows, the mainstream media is hurting, big time. For many years, subscriptions and advertising revenue have been plummeting. Some of the big papers have been able to survive only by having some multimillionaire bail them out with his own money and be willing to absorb the ongoing financial losses. Why is this? ...

Misplaced Honor

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-08 01:00 +0000
Flying the American flag at half mast, as some local residents were respectfully doing to salute President Carter, is an act of which his Presidency was not worthy.  Rather,  President Carter’s recent passing should be confined to one’s individual remorse and remembrance of his selfless contributions outside of politics.  The call for a thirty-day show ...

Then NH House Rep. Cindy Rosenwald used to let out-of-state campaign workers use her home address to vote in Nashua.
