How USAID Assisted the Corporate Takeover of Ukrainian Agriculture

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-02-23 23:00 +0000
A recent essay titled “The Real Purpose of Net Zero” by Jefferey Jaxon posited that Europe’s current war against farmers in the name of preventing climate change is ultimately designed to inflict famine. Jaxon is not speculating on globalist motives; he is warning humanity of a rapidly unfolding reality that is observable in the perverse lies against cows, denigration ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-02-23 22:00 +0000
Remember, Beitler is the guy that I fought to denature as is also championed Policy JBAB (“Transgender and Non-Confirming”) because it gives special “Rights” to a very small minority of youth over all other Normal students AND adults.

Yes, Voldemort Zelenskyy Is a Dictator

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-02-23 21:00 +0000
We can lump this into the “your COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective” category. While I’m at it, we should add the Hunter Biden Laptop (Disinformazia), The Steel Dossier, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, and everything that comes out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth. The Covington kids, everything the media claimed in Trump 1.0, and ... Read more

Why NH Might Make Limited Social Drinking Legal in Some Public Places

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-02-23 19:00 +0000
The American Prohibition Museum is not in Chicago but tucked into an old brick building in Savannah, Ga., just off Congress Street. A $29.91 ticket to the museum comes with a drink at the adjacent speakeasy. In most American cities, that would be a perfect finish to a trip through the Prohibition era. Not in ... Read more

NH Sends a Message to Big Wind And The Greenwashers

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-02-23 17:00 +0000
The New Hampshire House has taken significant steps toward protecting the “fragile” Gulf of Maine from big wind and its ratepayers from higher electricity costs – acknowledging that the latter is arguably too little too late. Our electric rates suck, have sucked for decades, and keep getting suckier, so this week’s action is more a ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-02-23 15:00 +0000
What do the impending, across-the-board Trump administration and Congressional cuts to federal education, energy, and human services mean to Vermont? Ask this question to legislators and advocates in the State House and the response is like a Greek chorus chanting, ‘We don’t know, we don’t know, we don’t know.’ (Whether the play is a comedy ...

“If You Are FOR Government Waste …At Least Waste it Here!

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-02-23 13:00 +0000
It is not clear yet if anyone is going to swing (rhetorically) for all the corruption, fraud, and waste being unearthed within the payment systems of your federal government, but someone needs to go to jail. I think everyone can agree on that. The issue is who can be held accountable for the rank incompetence ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-02-23 11:00 +0000
Vermont Democrats passed the Global Warming Solutions Act in 2020 over the veto of Governor Scott and the Republican legislative minority. That law mandates strict targets and timelines for greenhouse gas reduction set at 26% below 2005 levels by 2025, 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. And, so ...

The Real, Forgotten Enforcement Mechanism of the Constitution

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-02-23 03:00 +0000
A refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union.” That was James Madison’s answer to federal overreach – a strategy rooted in the very principles that founded the American republic. But you won’t hear about Madison’s enforcement strategy in government-run schools. Instead, they push the myth that only the federal government can determine the extent ... Read more

If Maine Wants To Keep Bending Genders …

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-22 21:00 +0000
The sun rises, the water is wet, and just like guns, Democrats hate nullification until they love it. Dems love guns as long as they control whoever controls the guns. The same can be said for nullification, the idea that states have veto power over federal demands. And we agree. States have rights, and lots ... Read more

We’ll See You In Court

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-22 19:00 +0000
Oh my, did Governor Janet Mills really yell out to the President of the United States that she would “See you in court?” I heard it live and played it back many times, to be sure, but yes, she said it. It must have been a slip of the tongue or an out-of-body experience. Nobody ... Read more

Trump Cannot Allow a Declining Europe to Drag the US Down

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-02-22 15:00 +0000
Last week, leaders of European governments got very upset with the new Trump administration. First, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said a return to pre-2014 Ukraine-Russia borders was an “unrealistic objective” in the coming peace negotiations and that European leaders shouldn’t assume American troops would be present on the continent forever. Then, Vice President JD Vance gave ... Read more
