We like to give the social-justice warriors at Netflix a hard Time, but Disney, as a platform, has lost a lot of credibility in the past decade, all because it let the #Wokeasaurus in the door. Its reimaging of the Star Wars universe may have resulted in some spectacular backgrounds and film-making innovations (something the … Read more
A month into the Schumer Shutdown, and Democrats are still trying to distract you from how full of shit they are. Oh look, Trump is destroying the White House (with donor money), which was a super cool narrative that gave the internet an excuse to point out that most Presidents do something (Barry added an … Read more
Groktober is coming to an end, and with it, those bothersome pumpkin meme graphics. What, next, one wonders, might replace it? November is filled with possibilities and Thanksgiving. Pilgrims, turkey, whatever you call the occupants, they eventually displaced. No matter, you’ll still get a meme or two hundred or whatever. . . . . . … Read more
Elon Musk’s xAI continues to generate things for the world to wade around in. The latest is Grokipedia. Musk’s answer to Wikipedia, but driven, not by humans. Grokipedia is generated by AI, which, according to Wikipedia, has included significant content from Wikipedia. Given that AI gets its fuel from across the internet, that makes sense. … Read more
MTV was new, and so (still) was President Reagan. The year was 1981. I graduated from high school, and that was the last time the Amundsen-Scott station at the South Pole recorded a temperature as cold as the one on Oct 15th, 2025, minus 61.3 degrees…centigrade. According to the AI search assistant, “The coldest temperature … Read more
Watching other people’s cultures degenerate at the hands of their own government is increasingly less amusing when you know that they want to ruin yours as well. Global elites have a plan, and it involves fewer white folks, and if you thought it was getting weird, this takes it to a whole new level. According … Read more
We’ve got more than a few stories about sign stealers. Steal them, wreck them, deface them, especially Trump signs. Trump derangement syndrome is a “debilitating malady that deprives the aggrieved victim of the ability to think and act rationally.” Such was the case for Nick Moorhead, who was fined $310.00 after pleading guilty to campaign … Read more
Welcome to your last Groktober installment of midweek memes. November is almost upon us, which, in my part of the world, means colder weather, yard cleanup, and pumpkin spice everything. No memes about that yet, but soon. Very soon. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more
Long before I began adding comorbidities to my health resume, I was suspicious of the flu shot. This was long before the left became the earned-media cheerleaders for big Pharma. The term “anti-vaxxer” did not yet exist as part of the public consciousness. There were also only a handful of childhood immunizations, and the food … Read more
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
