We are always looking for tools you can use in the social media jungle—rhetorical weapons of conversational self-defense. Things that, while they may not change the hearts or minds of an intractable opponent who might be embedded like a tick in their beliefs, may encourage observers to consider your position. On the topic of climate, … Read more
Earlier, we reported on a ‘Maryland Woman’ who stole $657,000.00 from taxpayers because she could. A few hours later, here’s a story about a corrupt Democratic judge from Texas. A Democratic judge and five other individuals were indicted for election crimes after running a “vote harvesting scheme,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office announced Wednesday. Judge … Read more
In what strikes me as a confluence of left-wing interests, Levita Almuete Ferrer, henceforth to be known as “A Maryland Woman,” has been indicted for robbing taxpayers of over $657,347.50 while working for the Biden State Department. The (now) former employee has pleaded guilty to using government computers and access to expense accounts to write … Read more
In the wake of Disney’s announcement of a new theme park in Abu Dhabi, the question Democrats should be asking is, how could you? The capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), just a surface-to-surface missile throw from the Islamic Republic of Iran, seems an unlikely place for a Woke Mouse to set up house, … Read more
My “other job” made demands of me this week that made recording a new edition of GrokTALK! Impossible. My apologies for a week without new content. Thankfully, I can share past episodes from previous iterations. I jumped into the Wayback Machine (there are more than 170+ episodes online to choose from) and pulled this segment … Read more
While the center-right spins up a recent District Court ruling that looks like another nail in the coffin of nationwide injunctions (restraining judicial tyranny is never a bad thing), another Judge Timothy Kelly just punched the DEI cabal in the throat. Background. Private Contractors sued the Federal Government on First Amendment grounds (among other things) … Read more
Maine Governor Janet Mills has been hailed as a leftist hero for “standing up to Trump.” Democrats across the land hailed her, lauded her, and smiled their Cheshire grins, putting her on the national map. People know who Janet Mills is, but with great exposure comes the opportunity for vulnerability. Mills put her state squarely … Read more
I had never heard of John Fetterman before he’d had a stroke. I can’t speak to his pre-stroke politics and am not inclined to hunt them down. Someone in the Democrat party thought him a suitable meat puppet to prevent the Republicans from seizing a US Senate Seat in Pennsylvania. The same party that picked … Read more
In every procedural/cop show Hollywood produces, there are two tropes the writers can’t leave out. It’s as if they are required and will lose their guild membership if they do. Lawyering up is bad (sold as a sign of guilt), as is requiring a warrant before any search. I could go downtown and get a … Read more
We’re sharing new podcasts seven days a week, with a few exceptions, such as the occasional replay or other special events. I alos share short clips from some of our programs, and sometimes the odd random thing off the internet. These are posted on my Instagram or the Grok socials (see below), and not necessarily … Read more
A New Hampshire local, bothered by the polling they saw from the mainstream media, set about taking a litmus test. They wanted to see if they could duplicate those results or if sentiment differed from what was sold to the public. Here are the graphed results This survey was sent to 95 people of different … Read more
The headline that coerced me into clicking on a link to an article at New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) is ‘The Independence of Public Radio Cannot Be Compromised.” My first thought was, what’s independent about NPR and NHPR? “CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President’s authority. Congress directly authorized and funded … Read more
It is no secret that New Hampshire and Granite Staters are on a big climate cult meat hook, not entirely of our own making. Yes, we still have lingering mandates like carbon credit schemes (neutered but not gone) alongside renewable portfolio mandates. These should have been flushed down the toilet years ago, but bitter climate … Read more
The political Left’s obsession with managing the death of others ought to be a disqualification for anything short of a straitjacket. Luckily for them, entire industries exist to launder money into their campaigns to keep them out of prison and in public office. Perches from which they interrupt with enthusiasm the right to life, liberty, … Read more
Last night I was the keynote speaker at the Sullivan County Lincoln-Reagan Dinner. Michelle and I had a great time. Everyone was wonderful, and it was good to finally meet some people I’d only ever known online. After my remarks, someone asked me if I would post the speech so they could have a copy. … Read more
I recently reported on news that China was quickly swirling down the economic drain as Trump’s big, beautiful tariffs did the work they were meant to do. War by other means, as already, “high unemployment and rising costs force [China] to address the threat of millions of Chinese milling about in misery with nothing to … Read more
If you missed it, big ole’ JB Pritzker was the keynote speaker at a pricey fundraiser the local Proglodytes threw themselves. I’m sure they raised some dough and, with Act Blue headed to federal and state courts over its disregard for campaign finance law, they may need it. The big Guy (Pritzker, not Biden) made … Read more
According to V.I. Lenin, the Supreme Soviet leader, “…socialism is impossible without democracy,” averred Lenin in his Collected Works (Vol. 23), “because: (1) the proletariat cannot perform the socialist revolution unless it prepares for it by the struggle for democracy; (2) victorious socialism cannot consolidate its victory and bring humanity to the withering away of … Read more
Several things have become evident a few weeks into Donald Trump’s big beautiful tariff strategy. The most beautiful tariffs – like nobody’s ever seen. The world needs the United States as a trading partner more than we need them. If pressure is applied, America can get concessions on a long list of issues to our … Read more
Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media Donald Trump has issued an executive order declaring that the government isn’t supposed to be subsidizing any media, especially the blatantly partisan garbage (my words) that comes from NPR and PBS. Unlike in 1967, when the CPB was established, today the media landscape is filled with abundant, diverse, and … Read more
