GrokTALK!: Hey Democrat, How Does This Make My Life More Affordable?

This week, on GrokTALK!, Democrats made it easy for you to take it all back in 2028, but you have to start planning and acting now. I walk you through it and offer a basic template. Don’t make it easy. Arm yourself and the Republicans we have left with a few simple questions, and just keep asking them.

I also fisk a story to remind us all who these people are, as well as a second about the culture we just anointed into power at the state and federal level – all of which can be met with the same strategy. A trap they set for themselves that they can’t possibly escape.

Check it out!

Welcome back for another installment of Grok Talk brought to you by GraniteGrok.com and Grok Media LLC.

Total wipeout last Tuesday, but that does not change our mission or our direction or our directive. I do wanna point out that

When you get beaten like a broken storm door in a hurricane, the impulse is to be like, God, I lost. I give up. If you ran for office, run again. If you helped somebody run for office, help them run again. Help more people. Do it twice as hard. And don’t wait to start. You have to start now. And here’s how we’re gonna start.

Democrats ran on affordability. Make them explain every single thing they do that has nothing to do with affordability.

How does that help affordability? Ask them over and over and over. Be like a five-year-old. Just keep asking them. Don’t let them off the hook. They’re going to deflect.

And I’m not just talking about Congress, where their number one mission is to lawfare everybody into silence or obscurity to obstruct any progress of any kind. What does that have to do with affordability? Nothing. Locally, say in New Hampshire, for example, we have a super-duper-majority in the House, and we almost have one in the Senate. a state Senate Republican calls out sick.

On veto override day, guess what happens?

Democrats get whatever they want. That can’t happen. You have to keep your Republicans accountable. The few of them that you have, they have to fight for you. They’re the only voices you have in these chambers. But then they’re not, because you need to show up and help them. You need to send your messages out. You can do it remotely via video on socials.

Join a town or county Republican group. Find a way to help. And if you don’t like the Republicans, you can still do the work. We don’t carry the water of the Republican Party, and we never have.

How does this help affordability?

How does taking money from me to give it to people who aren’t working make my life more affordable? How does this help gas prices get cheaper?

Where are you fighting corruption?

How does this not add corruption?

More government will guarantee you more corruption. Democrats, I can guarantee you will want more government, and more government means higher taxes.

How does that make my life more affordable?

How does stealing money from job creators help me make ends meet?

You do not give up. The Tea Party Revolution was very organic, despite the fact that, well, they couldn’t allow it to appear that way.

The spending packages and the threat of Obamacare were what started it, but it’s the same premise. You are in the wilderness, but you are not alone. You have help. Plenty of people, just like me, have been doing this for a long time, and we know how it works. You are not done. We are not done. In fact, Democrats are very likely going to screw themselves for the 2028 elections because they can’t help being who they are.

They have to grow government. They have to try to pass taxes. They have to spend more of your money. And every dollar they take from you makes your life less affordable. They ran on it. Make them pay for it.

Rest of the program, we’re gonna fisk a couple of articles, some things of interest. The first one, of course, is very amusing to me: the headline from the Daily Mail. White workers get thirty million after claiming employer Lockheed Martin discriminated against them based on their race.

Now, this ties into my introduction. Democrats, the Democrat DOJ under Biden, probably not only encouraged this, but expected it. They’ve been doing it since twenty twenty one.

Reverse racism is real; it happens, and we know it does. All you have to do is look at it. Any decision made based on the color of anyone’s skin

It doesn’t matter what color they are; you’re talking about normalizing the othering of people. If you are willing to other people because their skin is white, why wouldn’t you be willing to other them because of anything else about them? Not just their ideological preferences, but their sexuality, everything, their job, where they live. It’s the same mindset. This is who Democrats are. There is no diversity. If you don’t think like them, it doesn’t matter what else about you is different?

Nothing.

You have to agree with them, increasingly in a more radical manner. So Lockheed Martin is gonna dump thirty million dollars to settle a federal allegation that it discriminated against workers for being white. And again, the Biden administration would never prosecute this. This is how important it is to make sure that you don’t let Democrats take over because they will, pardon the language, trigger warning, fuck you hard, fast and often.

Allegations that the defense contractor was discriminating against its white employees were first raised in 2021. Who was president then? When Lockheed began handing out bonuses through a compensation program, prosecutors said managers initially gave raises based on performance, but human resources personnel pressured executives to remove white employees from the program in favor of minority staff members.

This is just wrong. And of course, it was inhuman resources who made him do it. Those people are just, you know, a lot of companies have since flushed some of those folks out. Not all of them. But here’s the thing. If the Democrats win the White House in 2028, they’re all coming back.

Then if you work, and again, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white or a Jew or a Christian or a Muslim or anybody, it doesn’t matter. Makes no difference. If you do not tow the ideological line of the political left, and the far political left is now taking over that party, they don’t care what you look like; you are the enemy. This is the lesson we teach it every week. Please remember.

You might think you did a good thing if you were like, well, I’ll try voting for a Democrat. But I mean, maybe you were the guy who voted for Barack Obama because he’s black, so you could say, I voted for the black president. He was a nightmare and a disaster. He weaponized the entire federal government against you. And he doesn’t care. It’s all about power. And uh the next article we’re gonna fisk will help you understand that a little bit more.

It was further alleged that Lockheed would hire employees based only on their race or sex and restricted access to training and leadership programs to those who did not fit the mold. This is Lockheed Martin.

They are a military contractor. They build military equipment. They don’t want the most qualified, capable people working on what we put our service members in to fight and defend our nation. Okie dokie, that’s a good deal, isn’t it?

In a statement following the settlement, Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward said the huge penalty should serve as a warning to other companies blindly following DEI standards. Companies, especially those that do business with the federal government, should not make DEI compensation decisions that prioritize an employee’s race over the merit of their work, the prosecutor said.

Yeah, especially in a hundred billion dollar plane or whatever it is they cost these days.

This is the department’s fourth False Claims Act settlement resolving allegations of racial discrimination against employees. The department remains steadfast in its commitment to eliminating woke, unconstitutional practices from workplaces of companies that receive federal taxpayer funds.

Where’s the lesson? Democrats won’t do that. They will not defend you. Now remember, the government’s only job is supposed to be to protect your natural rights from infringement by whoever. Okay. Um, and there’s only a few of them. There’s not very many. It shouldn’t be all that hard. We shouldn’t need a seven trillion dollar budget to do that. We, uh, we need to fix that. Mr. Trump is trying to fix that. He’s had some missteps. I think I’ll be honest, I think he should have waited for the war in Iran. I think that’s what screwed him, because gas prices are a very real thing for people who have to leave the house and go to work.

And it’s very expensive. And they will forget just how dangerous Democrats are and how much they’re gonna mess with them. And that’s pretty much what happened. And a lot of Republicans didn’t turn out. Most of the independents appear to have broken for the Democrats because they’re like, eh, let’s try this. Well, yeah, you forget so soon, right? It’s an internet world where your mind is like, Bah, it’s squirrels, right? The next thing the next great thing, the next big thing. Has anybody talked about Ukraine? Nobody talks about Ukraine. Does anybody have a Ukraine flag in their X profile? People from Ukraine do.

And we’re trying to get away from that. Wouldn’t you love it if the government and the politics wasn’t involved in every single corner of your life, if you didn’t have to put up with all sorts of nasty stuff like being discriminated against because of your color? Some people would say white people deserve that. Which white people?

How about the black people who had slaves? What about them? How about the fact that President Lincoln gave reparations to anybody who was a slave who wanted them? What about that? I mean, you’ve got to understand that we’ve been so under-educated deliberately, and kudos to the Democrats. They’ve been propagandizing us for several decades in the public school systems and the universities.

And we have this overwhelming number of people who don’t know the truth about a whole lot of things.

And again, one of the reasons why my website is so successful is because we try to help. We try to give you some tools and some ammunition and some resources and some links. And we encourage you to go and do your own research and to ask questions. In this case, now that it’s going to be Democrat season, how does this make my life more affordable?

Keep asking that question. How does it make my life more affordable?

You said you were gonna make my life more affordable. Why are we talking about funding LGBT clog dancing? What’s the purpose of that?

Okay, stealing money from people to pay for things that are important to you is criminal. Don’t let them off the hook.

Feel energized and motivated. Go to school board meetings, go to town council meetings. In the springtime in New Hampshire, you need to turn out and vote in your local elections because that’s where 99% of your property tax bill comes from. And yet only a quarter of the people registered to vote show up.

You showed up for this election. You voted for crazy.

Higher taxes, bad energy policy, a whole raft of things. If the Democrats had the Oval Office, you’d be screwed. States that have Republican governors but Democrat legislatures like mine does now are hanging on in hope that they can have vetoes, lots of them.

So you need to talk to your governors. You need to be polite, but you need to be direct. I don’t want this. This is bad for me. It’s bad for you. It’s bad for us. How does it make my life more affordable? It doesn’t. Then you veto it.

Democrats, how does this make my life more affordable? This is what you ran on. How does this reduce corruption? Why does it cost this much? Have you considered alternatives? I’ve mentioned several. There’s an awful lot of things the government spends money on that would be more effective and efficient if the private sector had an incentive to invest in it instead using money it legally earned.

That you didn’t have to steal. Well, the ultimate problem with all of this is kind of outlined in this piece by J.B. Shirk, an American thinker, Why Leftists Won’t Let Us Live.

I will include links to both the free die, ladies and gentlemen.

Quote, why must leftists conquer entire nations? Why do they get so angry at anyone who racists their ideology? Why can’t they just build a new nation filled entirely with fellow leftists? It really shouldn’t be this difficult. The Marxists, socialists, communists, green energy fanatics, diversity, inclusion, and equity, cultists, and bureaucracy worshipping globalists to build a regulatory paradise based on the woke commandments of their secular faith. He goes on to say there’s plenty of countries.

That already have all these wonderful things or are in the process of it. And you could certainly go there. There are plenty of lefty billionaires. He lists George Soros, Bill Gates, Neville Roy Singham, Michael Bloomberg, Tom Stayer, and Howard Schultz. Uh seed money for the communist utopia can’t be that hard. Heck. Western central banks, he adds essentially exist to manipulate markets in favor of the left’s pet causes, such as how to best to funnel taxpayer dollars into bank accounts of leftist billionaires who lecture the world.

About global warming, white supremacy, mandatory COVID shots, and the need for open borders and online censorship. There is a veritable glut of left-wing scribes churning out propaganda for every prominent news publication in the West. Leftists have also taken over academia. It is rare to find a non-leftist intellectual on a prestigious university campus. Diversity of opinion is nonexistent. Just

As is the case with journalism, academia has become a safe space for leftists to give each other awards and sinecures in recognition of their imaginary brilliance while producing nothing new. There is nothing progressive about the progressive movement.

Not a damn thing. It’s feudal, actually. You have a political class, a ruling class. You have the monarchy and you have the peasants. The DSA has been very clear. It wishes to dismantle government and turn it literally into a handful of oligarchs whom they claimed to oppose in the last two years, who then control everything. They own the property, they own the means of production.

They control energy, they control healthcare, which means what? They control you. Does it make anything more affordable? Well, they’ll say that they’re gonna pay for it. Well, they’re not. Somebody has to pay for it. Money doesn’t grow on trees. They can print all the money they want, but then it becomes what? Useless. That’s the kind of country they want you to live in. They don’t want you to have transportation. They don’t want you to have the right to travel.

They need you where you are so they can bilk you endlessly, either by taxing you or by using your labor, forced or otherwise, to accomplish whatever goals they’ve decided are important to them. That’s their mission.

With all these institutional forces at their disposal and us wonder why they can’t seem to seal the deal, how can you control the news, the universities, Wolf Capital, the NGO network, the permanent government bureaucracy, and the international agencies and not have already rebranded the United States as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or the People’s Republic of America?

This was written on October twenty sixth. I’m sure he’s revisited it by now. It appears that they’ve done a manageable job of reaching a little bit closer to their goal. But as I pointed out in the previous segment, that’s just another reason for us to step up and save the Republic. We can save it from the Democrats and the Republicans, because there’s certainly plenty of them, certainly John Thune

Among others, who are responsible for the failures. And given that they have a few weeks left they could accomplish a great deal. Dump the filibuster, cram every piece of legislation through that they can, do whatever they must, because that’s what the Democrats did. But they won’t do it. Pick up a phone, write your congressman.

And if they don’t do anything, it’s just more of the same, right? Mr. Trump is pretty sure that despite all the chaos, lawfare investigations and everything else, impeachments, it’s gonna be another circus, just like it was in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen.

You still have a job to do. It’s still your country. They are all temp workers. And you are a permanent resident. And yes, they do pay taxes, but they pay taxes with your taxes. So your job is to make sure that you get up, dust yourself off from the beating you just took on Tuesday, November third, step up, go out, and very politely ask some questions.

You don’t have to key Teslas, you don’t have to burn down car dealerships, you don’t have to protest in the streets, you don’t even have to stand on a car surrounded by burning wreckage waving an American flag. You just need to show up and make a case. And if you make a really good case, hopefully somebody videotaped it and shares it online. Democrats always overreach.

It’s still your country. You don’t have to love everything Mr. Trump did. You don’t have to love everything Republicans did or didn’t do. I certainly don’t. But this is where we are. This is what happened. America voted. This is what we got.

It’s your paycheck, it’s your home, it’s your future. They will steal it from you if you let them. So don’t ask questions. Remember, I thought you said you were going to work to make my life more affordable. Please explain to me how this will make my life more affordable. And when they give you a bullshit answer, you continue to question them. If you’re not good speaking to them personally, write them a letter, send them an email.

Do whatever you have to do. Be polite. Do not be violent. Do not be rude. Do not be mean.

Because they’ll just ignore you. But show up and ask the question. And when 2028 rolls around, we’ll have this archive of situations where Democrats are asked how this makes it affordable, and they

make some excuse, none of which is going to help them. And then we’re going to use that and all the other crazy crap that they say in the next two years to win the country back.

That’s it for this week.

Smile, stiff upper lip, straight back, shoulders, whatever you need. Have a coffee or a tea, take a shot.

And then get back out there and get it done. We never gave up. We’re not gonna. We’ll be here. If you need a safe space, if you need some help, you need some encouragement. granitegrok.com. Twenty years going on twenty-one years in 2027 And we don’t have any plans to stop.
