Quantum Immortality, Branching Realities, and the Illusion of Fate Imagine that somewhere, in a branch of reality you can no longer reach, you did not make it. A car swerved a fraction of a second too late. A coin landed the other way. A moment that ended well for you ended very differently for another … Read more
Dolly Parton was a national treasure, and her passing last month was a huge loss to her family, friends, and the music world, but it was a tremendous loss for America. It is nearly impossible to find someone universally loved by everyone, but that was Dolly Parton. By the numbers, Dolly had a 97% approval … Read more
The so-called privacy freaks who refused to cough up voter roll data have been awfully quiet when you’d expect them to be caterwauling. After all, it was your privacy that concerned them. That’s what they said. We can’t give up voter roll data to the Feds to ensure it’s clean; there’s information in there and … Read more
Most people might already know that anyone who is eligible to serve in the office being sought can avoid having to become a Republican or Democrat just for the sake of having ballot access in November. Such candidates declare their intent to Secretary of State Scanlan’s office during filing time. While ordinary candidates are working … Read more
Candidates no longer run for a particular office, whether local, state, or federal. Today’s politician is running for attention. They may be running for governor, but their eyes are already on a Senate seat, or even the Oval Office. This is partly a product of a political system that has dwarfed the government in importance, … Read more
Today on the Morning Update, the son of an occasional ‘Grok contributor wins a 4th Amendment case against a local school district, but are there any other consequences for an illegal search than a legal settlement and an admission of guilt? Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. Links … Read more
This week on GrokTALK!: we talk oil, gas prices, the Trump economy, jobs, failed Dem energy policy, the looming oil glut and oil price collapse, and no matter what happens, how the left can only make things cost more. “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” – Gustav Mahler Watch on … Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, there’s been some more legal pushback against the blatant Islamization of America in Dearbornistan, but even if you win, who is going to enforce it, and what does that look like?

If you missed last week’s GrokTALK! I discussed this problem and its impacts on Granite Staters. If we elect Democrat majorities and a Democrat government, the first-session budget cost increase for what we know they have planned is probably an additional 2-4 billion in new taxes. Sucked out of your businesses, bank accounts, pocketbooks, investments, … Read more

I am what’s called today a “baby boomer.” I suppose the younger crowd might call me a dinosaur. Born shortly after WWII, I grew up in a country vastly different from the one we live in today. After our war-weary nation helped defeat the Nazis and fascists, we embarked on another war, a Cold War … Read more
For Good Reason The word “emergency” doesn’t exist in the Constitution. That means the rules of the Constitution apply whether someone calls it an “emergency” or not. This wasn’t an accident. It was very intentional, and based on the founders’ own warnings, long-forgotten and ignored today. Let politicians have extra power or funding because they … Read more

Their evidence supports a more selective view. Recycling metals often makes excellent sense, and some clean plastics can be worth recovering. But many other materials require more labor, energy, water, … Read more
Blaming Republicans for higher energy costs, especially electricity prices, is like blaming Republicans for all the illegal aliens Joe and Kamala let into the country. Not only did Biden and Harris let them in, but they also invited them and worked with international organizations to run the conveyor belts that brought them here. And this … Read more
With the sudden and unexpected collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War in 1989–1991, the U.S. national-security establishment went into a full-blown panic. For some 45 years, the Cold War had been the most lucrative racket in U.S. history. “The Reds are coming!” By inculcating the fear that the commies … Read more
