One of the Democrats’ hostage demands is the repeal of fifty billion earmarked for improving rural healthcare. For all their focus on this stand being about healthcare, the media should be asking a lot more questions about why they oppose this. The Big Beautiful bill cut funding for non-citizens and added funding to improve care … Read more
Watching Vermont spiral in the blue toilet water is not enjoyable. Sure, it is a TRE, and when the legislature is in session, we get a lot of low-hanging fruit. It is sad to observe the real-time decline and fall of a state founded by a rebel militia that fought against big government tyranny. Vermont … Read more
Losing high-profile elections that mean almost nothing to me is a gift. Low-hanging fruit for left-wing dummies who grasp at it in desperation, only to discover it’s rotten. Every Democrat who won last Tuesday is a poster child for why Donald Trump won last November. They got a Jew-Hating Islamist Marxist who peddled every utopian … Read more
The Whatfinger Compromise would blow up the filibuster just long enough for Republicans to secure federal elections.
Welcome to Friday, and more Mamdani and Marxism Memes. We couldn’t fit them all into the Wednesday installment (check it out here if you missed it). And we want to make sure we get them all in before we can’t share memes anymore. Marxists are keen on criticism. . . . . . . . … Read more
Senate Republicans could end the Democrat shutdown today if they dump the filibuster and pass the Continuing CR. I get that many, including ‘Grok contributors, think that’s a bad idea, but I’ve got something of a Steve Bannon approach to this. Look at what Democrats did under Obama and Biden, with or without the filibuster. They … Read more
I get a lot of tips about geoengineering. I also get a lot of tips about how the Jews, despite having 4000 years to do it, are taking over the world. There’s only so much bandwidth available, so I have to skim, sideline, or ignore some things—not just those two. I look. I may even … Read more
Is public education broken? That depends on whether you think the goal was to redirect private resources to create knowledgeable citizens capable of self-education and self-rule. That was never its purpose, though we must confess that at least a few of the kiddies walked out the other end at least able to read and think … Read more
A few weeks back, I hinted that Mexico might want to negotiate a pause with the drug cartels if it didn’t want to get Venezuela’d. US strikes on alleged cartel drug boats are a not-so-subtle message. That rhetorical war on drugs thing the US Government had been laundering money through for decades, only to have … Read more
Welcome to Wednesday, another edition of midweek memes. This week, we have something special —or, as they say down south, precious—lots of Mamdani memes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
We all assumed that Veterans Affairs under Trump would improve, and in some respects, it has. They are handling more claims, and in September, they made some noise about approving third-party care for 12 months (for thirty types of care) instead of 6 or 3, but something changed. My contacts tell me that the VA … Read more
As you contemplate the complication of the Schumer shutdown, don’t forget that there were millions of illegals tapping the EBT system for food and fun—at least 1.5 million. According to the USDA, the noncitizens include “lawful permanent residents, refugees, asylees, those granted a stay of deportation, and undocumented individuals… Undocumented individuals are not eligible to receive SNAP … Read more
I’m not sure how many readers remember Heavy Metal (the cartoon art mag, not the music). They released an eponymously named movie in 1981, which I recall liking. In one scene, someone in charge of something tells the hero, Den, that he “must steal the Loc-Nar from the Queen in order to save Katherine.” I … Read more
New York’s likely election of Zohran Mamdani to the mayor’s office offers a lesson —and not just to New Yorkers. The rise of Marxist, totalitarian socialists into positions of power has a similar effect across the world and throughout time. It is the template of modern civilization. Those who can leave do, taking their intellectual … Read more
Welcome to November, the day after the day we set the clocks back an hour, and say hello to something that never changes. Monday Memes. Except that they are different memes, I mean. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Like clockwork, it is once again time to talk about Daylight Saving Time. And why the heck not? You just moved the clocks back an hour to Eastern Standard Time—the time it’s supposed to be. And maybe you managed to milk that extra hour for something or not. I wake up an hour earlier and … Read more
The idea that Democrats care about anything or anyone but themselves, and that does not include regular, everyday, registered Democrats, is absurd. Nothing they do or care about ends up improving their lives, care, or safety—quite the opposite. You may remember the deaths of a family by a foreign-born trucker who failed his written exam ten times. … Read more
The groomers and pedophiles have been allowed to spool out more than enough rhetorical rope… I started a research project last month, during which I suffered through the intolerable nonsense of a series of websites listing banned books in the United States. I won’t share the links because the internet age affords you tools to … Read more
There is a state law that says New Hampshire has to be the first primary in the presidential election process. This means that no matter when another state sets its primary date, New Hampshire has to set one earlier. You can say what you like, but NH has made it a statutory requirement that we … Read more
The Climate Cult’s entirely faith-based dogma, which includes the computer model Psalms, Book of Algore, and the Hockey Stick Scriptures of Mann (from which Mann Made Global Warming is derived). It fits the framework of a mythology (in every spiritual sense). Nothing about it has to be right because belief is based on faith, and … Read more
