‘We’re Gonna See More’ Advocacy To Stop Trump From Taking Office…

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-12-31 03:00 +0000
Political analyst Mark Halperin warned Friday that as President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration approaches, efforts to block him from assuming office will intensify. In a Thursday column for The Hill, liberal attorneys Evan Davis and David Schulte argued that Congress can still prevent Trump from taking office on Jan. 20 by rejecting electoral votes on Jan. 6, claiming Trump is disqualified under ...

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-12-30 23:00 +0000
Among the many promises and commitments that he has made during his ongoing transition period, President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to pull U.S. support for the World Health Organization and cancel its commitments related to the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.

Formella’s Future; How Soon Will We Know?

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-12-30 21:00 +0000
New Hampshire’s attorney general recently made the news by becoming the new National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) president. I’m going to rain on his parade for the moment and point out a few things, one of them being that his predecessor in that very position got elected in NY on a “get Trump” platform.  ... Read more

The Bailout Fallacy

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-12-30 19:00 +0000
It is always encouraging when a non–Austrian School economist accepts through his own reasoning an essential tenet of Austrian economics. Ruchir Sharma, who is chairman of Rockefeller International, founder and chief investments officer of Breakout Capital, and a well-known economic journalist, is not an Austrian, though he is aware of Friedrich Hayek’s work. He lends ... Read more

Unity at a Barber Shop

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-12-30 17:00 +0000
Finally, after the Christmas rush, my barber shop returned to its natural pace. The wait was even gratifying for listening and then partaking in the back and forths, which renewed my faith in Americanism. This should have been expected since a picture of Trump was hanging on a wall that faced a “Go Brandon” sign on ...

Freedom Is the Only Way to Beat Authoritarianism

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-12-30 15:00 +0000
Andy Kessler writes in his latest Wall Street Journal column that the U.S. “is strong precisely because we don’t all think the same way. New ideas come from new ways of thinking.” Kessler puts it so well. We individuals generally see the present and future very differently, and it’s this very division praised by Kessler that powers so ... Read more

“Private Entities Cannot Be Permitted to Partner With the Government To Censor Americans’ Speech,”

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-12-30 13:00 +0000
My headline quotes Nicolas Barry. He’s America First Legal Senior Counsel, and he points out the problem the Trump administration will need to wrestle with if it intends to ‘Shatter the left-wing censorship machine.’ You can fire public employees (it is not always easy, but it can be done), investigate them for suppressing protected speech, ...

Forgotten Role of the 10th Amendment in Its Creation

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-12-30 11:00 +0000
The Bill of Rights was born from intense battles between Federalists and Anti-Federalists over delegated and reserved powers. This clash not only shaped its contested origins but also left its true purpose misunderstood to this day. 1. Initial Efforts Rejected During the Philadelphia Convention on Sept. 12, 1787, George Mason proposed adding a declaration of ... Read more

Democrats Unwilling to Learn from The Loss to Donald Trump.

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-12-30 03:00 +0000
It’s almost Inauguration Day 2025, and liberals are still proving they haven’t learned a single lesson from Donald Trump’s election victory in November. Democrats are currently rudderless and jostling for power ahead of their Feb. 1 vote to elect a new chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), a job that will prove crucial in ... Read more

The Problem Isn’t H1B…

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-12-30 01:00 +0000
I have been a high-tech worker since I taught myself programming back in the 1970’s after building a computer kit in the Navy. At that time, I was an electronics technician, maintaining and repairing communications and radar systems aboard ship. After reading articles in magazines about “microcomputers”, I decided to purchase one and see what ... Read more

Abolition and Libertarian Principles

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-12-29 23:00 +0000
In “Abolition: An Acid Test,” Murray Rothbard criticized libertarians who defended slavery as part of their defense of property rights. Those libertarians had argued that slaves were classified as property and, therefore, abolishing slavery would be tantamount to expropriation of the slaveowners’ property. This was indeed one of the arguments put forward by slaveowners who ... Read more

New England Is Burning Oil and Coal To Keep the Lights On

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-12-29 21:00 +0000
Eagle-eyed New England energy observer Meredith Angwin of Wilder pointed out an inconvenient fact on X this Monday: when it’s cold (like this week) and people are home more than usual (like this week), ‘green’ New England burns oil and coal to make electricity. “We are having our first real cold snap,” the author of Shorting ...

Republicans “would rather enact massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors than fund cancer research for children.”

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-12-29 21:00 +0000
The headline is a narrative the Democrats are running with, and it’s a total lie. Here’s Hakeem (bless you) Jeffries repeating the lie to enthusiastic members of their handmaiden media. Here’s Lizard Warren repeating the same Lie as the media eats it up without any context, question or challenge. I bring it up because this ... Read more

What’s Justice?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-12-29 19:00 +0000
Mr. Biden has commuted 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates’ sentences to life imprisonment without parole.  This action is the result of Leftist efforts to target racial and economic disparities without stopping to ask: Does the punishment fit the crime?  It is racist and bigoted. Mr. Biden’s decision is clearly a “slap in ... Read more

Trump’s Critics Need Better ‘Writers’

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-12-29 15:00 +0000
One of the funniest lines ever uttered by a politician came from Ronald Reagan when he declared that he would not make the race between him and Walter Mondale about age; after all, it was not Mondale’s fault he was so young and inexperienced. Even Mondale had to laugh at the beautifully delivered jab. That ... Read more

On Dec. 28, 1732, at just 27 years of age, Benjamin Franklin published the first edition of Poor Richard’s Almanac. He went on to publish it annually for 25 years, and it garnered him wealth and fame. It also played a big part in elevating him to the status of “the first American.” The Almanac was published under the ... Read more
