BREAKING NEWS: American Federation of Government Employees President Everett Kelley, who represents 820,000 displaced government workers, has called it like his union sees it. This is Congress’s fault, and Dems need to support a clean CR. He wants the government reopened and for Democrats to stop punishing government employees. In a statement issued Monday, American Federation of … Read more
The not-so-shocking story, with video evidence, of how actors within the Portland Police Department were running cover for Antifa thugs isn’t surprising. And antifa supporting cops arresting independent journalists isn’t something the “Trump is Hitler” lefty-Media is going to report. Oh, look. Blue city cops are protecting progressive thugs, suppressing speech. What do you mean? … Read more
This is not incitement. We are all about self-defense, not attack. We do not tolerate threats or harm or implied harm to groups or individuals. This is an observation based on real-world facts. John Fetterman is a Democrat who keeps speaking sense, which suggests that one of the potential cures for radical progressivism is a … Read more
Nothing would be quite so sweet as the likelihood that the “health care crisis” Senate Dems are holding the government hostage to address isn’t about health care at all. That those ObamaCare subsidies they are fighting to renew outside regular order are COVID-Era bailouts to the Medical industrial complex. The Democrats have named their price … Read more
Welcome back to the traditional work week and another round of Monday memes—our welcome-back-to-the-work-week palate cleanser. These are all readers’ submissions, so feel free to send me yours. Note that submission doesn’t guarantee publication, especially if we’ve previously published it. Here we go. . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
‘Grok contributor Julie Smith wrote an opinion piece last week in which she endorsed Scott Brown in New Hampshire’s increasingly crowded US Senate Republican primary. The giveaway that it was her endorsement was that the headline began with ‘SMITH’ followed by the words “I Am Supporting Scott Brown and So Should You.” In the event … Read more
I don’t get a vote that guarantees me a Republican member of Congress. Still, Democrats are complaining that if the Supreme Court changes the Voting Rights Act, Republicans will gain seats in the US House once held by Democrats, as if Democrats are better for Black Americans. First, the right to vote does not come … Read more
The Biden Administration set many precedents—firsts, if you like. Most of them are bad to awful. Misplacing children is high on the list. The total is somewhere around 300,000, which isn’t exactly a glowing endorsement for the lie that he cared about undocumented aliens. Like blacks, women, gays, and so on, immigrants are just another … Read more
The Los Angeles County Public Health Officer wants everyone to know that while they’ve identified three cases of the more virulent strain of Monkeypox (MPOX), “At this time, no clear link has been identified between the cases.” More like we can’t say what the link is cuz reasons. Let’s jump in the not-so-way-back machine to the summer … Read more

Dems squandered weeks of opportunity to address issues that were important to them. DHHS has a budget, and renewing the over-inflated, over-reaching COVID tax credits in the Unaffordable Care Act could have been part of those negotiations. Instead, they demanded it, along with some other crap, and held the entire government hostage. And that’s a … Read more
We can’t say this enough. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. It is chemically incapable of achieving a tipping point. Accumulation leads to saturation, resulting in a decline in radiative forcing. There’s even evidence that the majority of the (irrelevant) rise has very little to do with human activity. CO2 is not just good for … Read more
We’ve got shutdown memes, no kings memes, memie memes, dem memes, antifa memes, a fake crowd meme, did I mention No Kings memes, and then there’s memes. If you clicked on this post for anything else, you are out of luck. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office has been desperately trying to scratch an itch it can’t quite seem to reach—a high-profile case it could use, at least in my estimation, to leverage civil rights law to suppress protected speech. Create a hate speech exception, tied to state civil rights law, and let the Orwellian pall … Read more
When it comes to debates over spending, priorities, and budgets, Senate Republicans appear more than happy to accommodate Democrats… in the 12 regular-order budgets yet to be debated and passed. But they won’t do anything like that until Democrats agree that those are where those conversations should happen. Republican senators were relieved when President Donald … Read more
Other than making sure women can kill their unborn babies, and even that has gone a bit by the wayside, nothing Democrats promise ever comes to pass. The more they speak of equality and justice, the less there is of both. Prosperity, Democracy, and civility are bait on a hook that once taken finds you … Read more
Trump’s DOJ has been coming at the swamp sideways, which has a lot of people anxious on both sides. Bolton for classified doc charges (he’s toast). Letitia James for mortgage fraud (she’s in trouble, too), James Comey for Perjury (he lied to Congress a lot, so he’s going down), Shifty Schiff is lined up and … Read more
It’s another Wednesday, which means we’re halfway home, or at least you are. I work 24/7/365, as many of you know, and credit where due; it seems like our meme harvesters never take a day off either. Let’s take a look at the latest crop, shall we? . . . . . . . . … Read more
Ticks are one of the approved barometers of the Climate cult. A collection of markers by which people who hate property rights and comfort (Democrats) leverage fear and misinformation to separate you from both. For the record, so is everything else. A barometer, I mean. There is no “thing” that doesn’t buttress the dogma of … Read more
Regarding Proglodyte tantrums over federal agents enforcing federal law. If we follow the modern left-wing definition of ‘militia,’ which ought to apply to left-wing domains in particular, they think it means the National Guard. They can’t shut up about it. It is a foundation of their civilian disarmament rhetoric. And not to put too fine … Read more
