The Costs To “Save The Planet”

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-14 17:00 +0000
And now comes the last two stages of an avoidable political catastrophe: the “search for the guilty parties” and “the reward of non-contributors.” (Adopted from the six stages of an engineering project – it’s on the web.) We don’t know how the fires started. It could have been lightning: it’s been dry in California lately. ... Read more

Dem Matt Wilhelm Is Right And Republican Sherm Packard Is Wrong … On This

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-14 15:00 +0000
Transparency in Government ought to be the model that EVERYONE can agree. That ordinary citizens know what the “Process” is by which Government (Legislature, Executive, and Judicial branches) operates, AND understand WHY those processes exists as they do. After all, Government should be FOR us and not for Government itself. As you all know, I ... Read more

NH Bill Would Protect “Parental” Right To Raccoons and Squirrels As Pets

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-14 13:00 +0000
We don’t have a hearing date yet, but New Hampshire’s Bill to protect raccoons and squirrels as pets has language we can read. If you missed it, we covered the story back in November when the legislative service request popped up in the wake of a raid in New York State, resulting in the euthanization ... Read more

Elizabeth Warren Cannot Throw The First Stone

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-14 11:00 +0000
I try to write my daily articles objectively and without emotion, especially anger. That has been extremely difficult, especially when writing about Joe Biden and any member of his administration. I find it impossible to write about Elizabeth Warren without letting anger and frustration boil to the surface. The Senior Senator from Massachusetts embodies all ... Read more

Google’s Bard Refused to Answer Direct Questions…Part 2

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-14 03:00 +0000
In Part 1, it was clear that the tech staff developing Google’s first Artificial Intelligence offering, Bard, had decided that those who wanted to use it had to be protected from themselves. They aren’t made of strong enough material. The Woke’s “triggering” with an AI-enhanced chaser. “ONLY I can protect you from yourself!”.Yeah, enough of ... Read more

Bananas: Big Win for Lesbians

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-01-14 01:00 +0000
The shocking news of yet another fire in California has been overshadowing the Cinderella story of the City of Angels slowly turning into the Isle of Lesbos.  Were it not for the massive conflagration the country would not have learned about the humongous achievement of local first responders setting aside their personal safety in favor ...

Disastrous Public Schools Merrimack- Part 4 (Math)

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 23:00 +0000
The Merrimack school district is in the middle of a storm. Parents and residents are demanding better from the people in charge of running their school system. Please read Part 1, Part 2, and Part3.

Following a Once-Lively Economic Canary Into the Climate Cult’s Poisonous Coal Mine

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 21:00 +0000
Germany’s once-envied efficient economy is in freefall, and the climate change cult and European Green Deal are directly to blame. State policies subsidizing EVs and other products, shutting down coal and nuclear plants, and mandating forced conversion to untested, unimplemented “renewables” resources for energy have decimated industrial efficiency. Industries and blue-collar jobs are fleeing Germany ... Read more

Reactivating Dormant Subscribers: A Workflow Blueprint

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 19:05 +0000
A clever type of campaign you can launch with your email list is to try and reactivate those who have yet to engage in some time. Inactive subscribers are those who were once part of your email list but either haven’t opened in some time or engaged. The nice thing about inactive subscribers is that ... Read more

Disastrous Public Schools Merrimack- Part 3 (English/Language Arts)

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 19:00 +0000
After describing the numerous problems in the Merrimack schools with their science and SEL programs, now is a good time to look at one of the English Language Arts programs used in the school. Oddly enough, it was mentioned during the budget committee meeting that Merrimack chose three E/LA programs for the students. One of ... Read more

Maine Dems Realize They Can’t Complete The Grift

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 17:00 +0000
Democrats in elected office tend to get bullied into doing what leadership wants, or they get primaried. Using New Hampshire as an example, it has long been the practice of House leadership on the Left to bully and intimidate members who won in more moderate districts to leap left or get the f out. For ... Read more

Time To Suspend Foreign Aid And Take Care Of Our Own

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 15:00 +0000
America and Americans are the most generous on Earth. The government is generous on our behalf, spreading our tax dollars around the globe, and thousands of churches and charities rely on the generosity of giving Americans. Over 170 countries receive more than $70 billion every year, and this is from an America that is in ... Read more

New Legislation Could Claw Some of Your Privacy Back

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 13:00 +0000
Longtime readers may recall a pair of stories in 2023 regarding state laws and convenience stores scanning the barcodes on people’s driver’s licenses. The outlets had foregone looking at the front to confirm the age for cigarette and alcohol purchases, instead scanning the barcode on the back to pull in that and a pile of ... Read more

Gambling On Education

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 11:00 +0000
Gambling, for most people, is a voluntary activity, a choice.  Why does the state force the rest of us to gamble on education? When gambling, players know the basic odds before playing, and accept that the house has an advantage.  They put money up front and depend on chance (in a fair game) to let ... Read more

Universal EFA’s Will Lead To Less Education Freedom, Higher Taxes

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 03:00 +0000
Republicans went from “EFAs will help low-income, urban kids get out of failing public schools” to “Universal School Choice” so fast, I’m not sure what happened to the so-called conservatives.  Political pressure? Are any of you voters asking hard questions or understanding the program enough to truly support Republicans removing the income requirement? Taxpayer funded ... Read more

When Will Hartford Learn?

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 01:00 +0000
Despite the massive shift to the right in Vermont the town of Hartford managed to hold the line on voting for progressives this past election.  Perhaps the bluest state in the union, Vermont, is now solidly purple after seeing the Senate go from a 22(D)-7(R) supermajority to a nearly dead even 16(D)-13(R) chamber.  Even more ...

Jimmy Carter Endorsed Pete Hegseth for SecDef On His Deathbed?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-01-12 23:00 +0000
I had heard several times during the broadcast that Jimmy Carter planned every detail of his funeral. Being a micro-manager, I doubt that he would have left this detail, the front page of the order of events, to anyone else: Indeed! The Left and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) hate any religious mentions ... Read more
