MacDonald: Gov. Signs Bill Prohibiting School Personnel from Transporting Minors for Medical Appointments Without Parental Consent.

Maybe. HB231, prohibits “school district personnel from transporting students to medical or mental health appointments, visits, or procedures without parental consent.” Governor Ayotte signed the bill into law, requiring school districts to adopt policies, so yes, it is law, but what exactly are the consequences? This bill requires school districts to create a policy prohibiting … Read more

MacDonald: CNN Admits April Egg Price Drop Sets Record

Thankfully, there will never come a time when Democrats or their media homonculi are capable of holding their tongues when Donald Trump speaks. So incapable are they that memes pop up regularly suggesting that if Donald Trump supported something Democrats have long insisted was their issue, they’d reject it ‘cuz Trump. I won’t challenge the … Read more

MacDonald: New Vermont Law Probably Violates Two Constitutions

Vermont has passed a law that allows the state attorney general to fine pregnancy care centers up to $10,000.00 for “advertising” the AG deems misleading. That’s the intent. Pro-Abortion Democrats passed a muzzle bill in 2023 to intimidate pregnancy care centers to the benefit of abortion clinics, but it didn’t work. Not exactly. It was … Read more

Pope Leo

MacDonald: Free Speech Pope?

Leave it to an American Pontif to tell the assembled members of world media that free speech and a free press are not just essential but that it “does not seek consensus at all costs, does not use aggressive words, does not follow the culture of competition, and never separates the search for truth from … Read more

MacDonald: They Want to Get Arrested So, Arrest Them

No Proglodyte resume is complete without at least one arrest. Deranged Tesla-defacing felons are proud bearers of this distinction, but that fad has lost its shine. The latest thing is ICE officers and immigration deportation. That Mayor in New Jersey got himself a date with a judge, and that judge in Milwaukee’s weepy arrest photo … Read more

MacDonald: A Strange Hill Named ‘Dugan’ To Die On

Six years ago, in Massachusetts, Newton District Judge Shelley M. Joseph knowingly helped an illegal criminal alien escape ICE by escorting him through her chambers and out the Jury door. She turned herself in and was indicted on four charges but managed to slow-walk her way to a dismissal by the then-Biden DOJ in 2022. … Read more

MacDonald: DNC “Votes” To Dump David Hogg

If Sandy Cortez had a penis, she’d be David Hogg. He is an obnoxious, far-left, neo-Marxist, and so is she. They appeal to the disenfranchised ‘utes’ who were “graduated” despite being unable to read or do math at grade level, while reminding senior socialists of an image they can claim for themselves in moments of … Read more

MacDonald: Never Forget That Democrats Hate You

Lest anyone begin to imagine a world where having more Democrats in elected office might be different, which implies better, think again. Then think some more because the political left doesn’t want “better.” Not for you. No finer example comes to us in a recent uptick in earnings and foot traffic at Target. The retailer … Read more

MacDonald: NH’s # 2 Blah Blah Blah

There are few more enthusiastic boosters for all the great things about New Hampshire than me. I share the data, polls, research, results, and whatever the mighty beast of the internet coughs up. I moved here from someplace else 35 years ago and have been a superfan ever since. As a superfan, I have also … Read more

MacDonald: Is the Pandemic Bloom Off The Vermont Rose

Vermont’s population declined by 0.03 percent between 2023 and 2024. That’s 215 fewer people. About the same number of homeless people that were reported added in New Hampshire in the same period – an anecdotal observation with no connection, but a reader saw the decline on the Vermont side and wondered if it might be … Read more

MacDonald: Climate Hoax on Its Heels

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

MacDonald: Another Demcorat Judge Arrested

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

Why Aren’t Dems Defending This ‘Maryland Woman’?

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

Disney Stomps Rainbow for Pay Day

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

Domicile and Voter Fraud Flashback

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

Maine Governor Janet Mills

Another Janet Mills Scandal

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
