Are They Stuck With Biden, And Can He Still Win?

In the weeks following his disastrous debate performance, Democrats have been desperate to shift attention away from Joe Biden and back to Donald Trump.

That guy, the 45th President of the … Read more

We ran into some issues with the initial launch of this iteration of The ‘Grok and had to do some tap dancing back and forth to fix them. I won’t bore you with details, but it wasn’t fun for me. We went live again at about 8:16 ET this evening. We seem to be stable … Read more

If I’m Not Entitled to My Opinion I am a Slave to Yours

There is no shortage of content regarding the sanctity of free speech. Liberty by any name is impossible without it, and we know that Free Speech includes the right to be wrong because the government, exercising its right to unbridled expression, is wrong proudly and often. So, when the government or its advocates insist your opinion should be … Read more

Breaking: Trump Classified Docs Case Dismissed

America’s Top Cop, Attorney General Merrick “Thank God He’s Not on the Supreme Court” Garland, made a significant error in his appointment of Jack Smith as Special prosecutor, according to Federal Judge Aileen Cannon.

“Circle Back” Psaki Is Suddenly Afraid Of Violent Rhetoric?

Jen Psaki is scared. She’s worried about the post-Trump assassination attempt blamed on a violent left-wing rhetoric narrative. Now that someone has attempted what many Democrats have been implying, inferring, or suggesting, she’s afraid there might be retaliation. Quick reminder, Jen.

June Wasn’t So Hot After All

I’m sure we can all sit back and relax, knowing they will announce how July 2024 was the hottest on record. I won’t be, but it is good to be prepared, and as a primer,  June 2024 was not the hottest June ‘on record’ either.

SCOTUS Immunity Decision and Why Barry Obama Should Be Very Worried

The US Supreme Court did something miraculous the other day. You’ll have heard by now. They erased over 240 years of Presidential carte blanche. The once all-powerful, seemingly un-prosecutable office of the president, extended to former Presidents, is no more.

Build Back Biden Going About as Well as You’d Expect …

Kuster and Pappas Protect Non-Citizen Voting “Rights”

Chip Roy’s Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (HR8281) does this crazy thing. It says what the federal law already says: Non-citizens cannot vote in US elections. They can’t. It’s illegal. But there’s no mechanism to ensure that. HR8281 says you must prove you are a citizen to register and vote. Provide proof. Neither of New Hampshire’s Dem House Critters voted for it.
