Democrats Have Given Us An Unrecognizable America

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-08-16 10:00 +0000
After more than 50 years, Joe Biden is finally leaving the political scene. It’s something both Republicans and Democrats wanted but for different reasons.

They Told The Ultimate Lie

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-08-16 00:00 +0000

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-08-15 14:00 +0000
I have a few points of fact regarding Senator Bill Gannon’s so-called conservative record.

Dwayne Johnson seems like a nice enough guy, and he acts, so that might be all it is, but is he nice enough to give six million dollars back to the US Army? They “hired” him and the United Football League (The Rock is part owner) for 11 million dollars to help the Army increase ... Read more
