The Chicken Little Syndrome

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-11 10:00 +0000
Have you ever heard of the “Chicken Little Syndrome”? An acorn fell on Chicken Little’s head. Thinking the sky was falling, Chicken Little warned Henny Penny and Turkey Lurkey of the impending disaster. They headed off to warn the King until a wise old owl disabuses them of their imagined fear. I couldn’t help recalling ... Read more

The Clock Is Ticking on the TikTok Ban

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-11 02:00 +0000
The April 5 deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to divest its holdings or be shut down revives a controversial battle. Free speech advocates and millions of American TikTok users who practically have a codependent relationship with the video-sharing app are facing off with national security concerns and impacts on children’s mental health. Will ... Read more

For Free Speech or Extremism?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-11 00:00 +0000
First Amendment liberties for free speech vs criminal action teeter in the litigation balance for the international environmental organization Greenpeace. The 501(c)(4) nonprofit just incurred a massive jury verdict exceeding $660 million for allegedly defaming and inciting illegal behavior against Energy Transfer, the corporate developer of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The activist entity’s fiscal survival ... Read more

It’s Hard To Restrain Education Spending When Increases Are ‘Cuts’

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 22:00 +0000
K-12 public school spending rises every year, whether enrollment increases or decreases. In this century, K-12 district public school enrollment in New Hampshire has fallen by more than 50,000 students, but spending is up by more than $1 billion, adjusted for inflation.  How does this happen? The short answer is that local voters prefer to ... Read more

Killing Babies Is Cheaper Than Birthing Them

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 20:00 +0000
Colorado Dems Embrace Their Eugenicist Roots Canada continues to expand its medically assisted in dying rules (MAiD) on a path that was easy to predict. I saw it coming, so how difficult could that have been? Any system with limited resources will protect itself at the expense of all else. Government-paid doctors and therapists are ... Read more

Tell Your Senator To Say No To Unnecessary Safety Inspections That Don’t Make Us Safer

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 18:00 +0000
When I first read about a bill to eliminate inspections, I had never questioned whether they make us safer. So I researched it, and was surprised to see that pretty much all of the studies over the past 30 years say the same thing: inspections don’t make us safer! That’s why there’s only 11 states ...

Trump Turns Dems Into Free Traders

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 16:00 +0000
Don’t expect too much depth at the “watercooler, especially from your proglodyte coworkers. They’ve got their talking points. Hands off (something), Trump is wrecking the economy, free Palestine, and oligarchs. Not their oligarchs. And no one is allowed to “Free Palestine” from Hamas. And I guess all that waste, fraud, and abuse are the price ... Read more

We Remember What Biden Cannot

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 14:00 +0000
The topic of Joe Biden’s mental acuity, or lack thereof, is taking on a new life with the release of tell-all books written by White House insiders from the Biden Administration. These books should come in a series called the Hypocrisy Dialogues, as the writers are the same people who defended Biden’s mental condition for ... Read more

Republicans Advancing More Agenda 2030 Goals – Workforce Housing

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 12:00 +0000
The new State Budget Trailer Bill (HB2) is a dumpster fire, trashcan bill, for pet projects, appropriations, and legislation that failed to pass on the floor. Everyone does it, and it is a good place to get good stuff passed that just missed or to hide your dirty legislative laundry. Things you want that most ... Read more

Regarding the Supreme Court’s Ruling on “Ghost Guns”

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 10:00 +0000
Since the Supreme Court has decided to redefine the word “weapon” to include weapon parts, we now face another crisis. In my opinion, all of this is unconstitutional. The “…shall not be infringed” wording of 2A makes a gun no different than office supplies. Considering a fountain pen, would I have to license or have ... Read more

Arizona Rancher Praises Trump as Illegal Border Crossers on His Land Plunge From 50 or More to 3 Daily

Granite Grok - Thu, 2025-04-10 02:00 +0000
Virginia Allen – The Daily Signal Border rancher John Ladd says President Donald Trump is “doing everything right.”   Ladd’s Arizona ranch shares 10.5 miles with the border of Mexico, and during the four years of the Biden administration, about 50 illegal aliens crossed through Ladd’s property daily, and sometimes that number rose to as many as 200, he ...

“Make Big Oil Pay!” Flounders

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-04-09 22:00 +0000
While it’s true a majority of Vermonters love the hypothetical (and fantastical) notion of our little state saving the planet from climate change by going “net zero” or some such thing, it’s also true that an even larger majority has absolutely net zero interest in paying for (or living with) the programs designed to do ...

A Little DOGE Talk and Tariff History

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-04-09 20:00 +0000
It is very frustrating to see the protests, rallies, and news reports about President Trump and Elon Musk working hard to destroy our economy and democracy. All these activities are done by people ignorant of the facts or feeding an agenda. Either way, these people are pawns of the Left who are aiding and spreading ... Read more

Animal Rights Activists Lay Groundwork for Soaring Egg Prices

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-04-09 16:00 +0000
The idea of delighted chickens clucking freely in verdant pastures and picking at grubs may appeal to American consumers and food rights activists. However, suggesting that the “cage-free” label liberates egg layers from industrial confinement is a marketing illusion. Birds are provided a little more space, but the health benefits for poultry are unproven, while ... Read more

The Erosion of Democracy in Europe and the Looming Shift Toward Islamic Influence

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-04-09 14:00 +0000
As of April 2025, a troubling pattern has emerged across Europe and beyond, casting a shadow over the principles of democratic governance. The suppression of political opposition, exemplified by recent events involving figures like Marine Le Pen in France and the ongoing efforts to ban Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, suggests that democracy—once a cornerstone of ...

How The UN Plans To Tax The World

Granite Grok - Wed, 2025-04-09 12:00 +0000
Climate change has always been about wealth redistribution. A complete reimaging of the American economy to send money to the developed world (by which we mean, global elites). It is by far the most authentic expression of Democrat-Socialism. Create economic parity by making nearly everyone poor and dependent. These are the pigs from Orwell’s Animal ... Read more
