A Suggested Email to Some Donchess Donkeys

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-04-05 10:00 +0000
Let’s start by taking a look at this video of last night’s Finance committee meeting in Nashua, skipping to 1h18min where the mayor stokes discord and vitriol in the chamber against the federal government for cutting some of its funding to the PD and FD, particularly special equipment that also benefits communities outside Nashua.  There ...

Trump Still Hasn’t “Fired” As Many Federal Employees as Bill Clinton

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-04-04 12:00 +0000
Here’s an inconvenient truth. For all the caterwailing, wailing, pearl-clutching, and gnashing of baby teeth, Donald Trump has not yet achieved the kind of planned executive branch attrition achieved by William Jefferson Clinton. During the 1990s, President Bill Clinton reduced the size of the federal civilian workforce from roughly 2.2 million to 1.8 million, largely through ... Read more

America is not a global ... Read more

No, it was understood at the founding that these basic natural rights outlined by Madison were granted by our Creator and ... Read more
