This week, on GrokTALK!, we look a little deeper into the problem of dirty voter rolls (inspired by my Friday, May 1st, Morning Update) at the issue of ballot chain of custody and how New Hampshire can’t have a clean election even if we want them. 00:00 Introduction and Context of Election Issues in New … Read more
The keep-it-in-the-ground folks are idiots. Yes, they are idiots for falling for the green scam. Stooges to the decarbonization political class who don’t plan on decarbonizing themselves. Victims of a soft-headed idea that oil and gas are a greater threat to life on earth than not having them. They are wrong, and there are tons … Read more
Housing Bubble Architect Barney Frank, a career politician and Democrat who spent 32 years telling us what to do from Congress, has offered up a deathbed declaration. Maybe don’t go so far left. Frank told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday that his record gives the message weight. “It’s precisely because I have been on the left … Read more

Remember AI “Actress” Tilly Norwood? Her creators were marketing her to talent agencies to book her work. She sings, dances, is cute as a button, and has an English accent. I did a morning update on her and the surrounding outrage, and while I can’t say if she’s gotten any new work, her existence has … Read more
If you missed the Wednesday Morning Update, there’s a nice clip from Dan Bongino in there about how this is not a both-sides issue. Yes, the Left loves to say the right is more violent, but as I’ve pointed out more than a few times, the violence from white supremacy groups, neo-Nazis, and the like … Read more
CNN is CNN. The Clinton News Network. The COVID News Network. Commie News Network. Whichever of the many reimaginings you’ve heard or prefer, it’s not your go-to for unbiased news or commentary. Adding Scott Jennings has helped give the appearance of balance, and CNN is almost having something of a Bari Weiss moment, like at … Read more
A unscripted conversation between one-old-conservative and Claude (Anthropic) — May 2026 Backgrounder: This is another in a series of original GraniteGrok articles on Artificial Intelligence (AI), written by one old conservative and Anthropic’s Claude 4.6 from an unscripted chat over breakfast. Before beginning the chat, I uploaded a 460-word text file that contained a recap … Read more
People have been itchy, antsy, and downright belligerent about how long it takes to see some accountability at the federal level. I’ve been reminding everyone that’s listening that you don’t get there overnight. We’re not Democrats. We don’t just whip an indictment because someone rustled our jimmies. Angry tweets, sure, legal filings that could stick? … Read more
It’s like a million years ago in internet time, but quite recent in the real world. After decades of policy choices meant to make electricity more expensive, and everything else with it, the political left attempted to blame Donald Trump and Republicans for what they did. We see a similar reaction to motor-fuel prices. They … Read more
Is there a court left for the Democrats to run to after the US Supreme Court’s redistricting ruling in Louisiana v. Callais? Racially gerrymandered congressional districts are illegal. The Voting Rights Act, the very thing the Dems have used to waterboard extra seats in Congress in the name of civil rights, is now their worst … Read more

The self-proclaimed party of women’s empowerment has gone in a very weird direction in recent years. After decades of girl power BS, they decided that it was time to stop pretending. Girls and women needed to be conquered by the patriarchy. Completely. They are not only attempting to normalize the practice of calling men in … Read more
Democrats are not just dirty dogs, they are conniving crooks, the depths of whose malfeasance may never be fully plumbed. The federal welfare fraud has been epic and ignored, if not wholly encouraged. One of Obama’s key initiatives was, after all, to get as many people connected to the federal teat as possible. Biden doubled … Read more
We predicted that Gordon-Darby never stood a serious chance of winning this, and it looks like we are well on our way to being right. According to Councilor John Stephens, the effort by Gordon-Darby to force the state to renew a contract it canceled was dismissed. The Executive Council is the sole repository of this … Read more

Two days before Christmas, 2025, we shared what I thought was one of the dumbest names for an activist group in recent memory. The bumbling DNC announced its “effort” to compete with Turning Point USA on Campus. How is that not like saying you need to add seawater to the ocean? One of the reasons … Read more
Proglodyte whiners are on their high-energy price horse yet again as the world watches Iran, the United States, and the Strait of Hormuz. But Democrats love high energy prices. They must necessarily skyrocket under any of their plans. As high as they may be where you are, they are much higher in Blue States and … Read more
The Campus Carry bill would remove an unconstitutional exemption we shouldn’t even need that has allowed Colleges in the state that take tax money to create and enforce gun-free zones. HB1793, the Protecting College Students Act, ends special gun-free zones on public college campuses and extends New Hampshire’s constitutional carry law to every corner of … Read more
