One of the joys of Islam, if the wife-beating, honor killings, dress code, and the lack of women’s rights haven’t got you lining up to face Mecca a few times each day (ladies), there’s haram. It means sinful. And there’s a long list of things liberal women might want to check out before they vote … Read more
The democratic socialists are back, and, as always, they’re spouting promises to make things better and more affordable by turning them into public utilities! We are all supposed to be happy that more things will be administered with the enthusiasm and efficiency of the post office or the DMV. However, when the state takes control … Read more

The 1768 Massachusetts Circular Letter. Some people seem to think the Constitution’s framers simply made the whole thing up. “Why should we pay attention to what 55 dead white guys wrote 239 years ago?” they ask. But the framers did not make it all up. The ideas behind the Constitution had been discussed and tested … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, the radical left and their media Handmaidens have been looking for the next COVID all year. Have they finally found it? Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. Links: Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent those of Grok Media, … Read more
We’re all familiar with the Declaration of Independence, but there’s another declaration with a big anniversary this year. In 1996, John Perry Barlow, founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (and lyricist for the Grateful Dead), wrote the Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace: “Governments of the Industrial World… You are not welcome among us. You … Read more
If you listen to “the media,” and that’s a mistake- unless you’re trying to suss out what the truth is by checking out the opposite of whatever they say- you’d think the US Supreme Court is this wildly partisan thing. Not so much, as you’d rightly have guessed. All this talk about packing the court … Read more
According to polls taken in recent years (e.g., Pew Research, Gallup, Data for Progress), a solid majority of Democrats and well over a third of all Americans are in favor of replacing the current healthcare system with a proposal known as “Medicare for All,” where privately owned hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and medical practices would continue … Read more
Scott McKay at America Spectator has a piece (teasingly labeled part 1) about the modern battle between the sexes and the race to the bottom. I’m calling the entries that follow the Five Black Pills, but they’re really more like separate buckets of discontent with the pills floating at the top. The items I’m highlighting … Read more
The only cure for a corrupted republic? As the man the founders called “the celebrated Montesquieu” told us: “by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles.” Everything else is doomed to fail. “Every other correction,” he warned, “is either useless or a new evil.” In order to get from where things are today to … Read more
I confess I’m a bit disappointed. When I saw the headline touting Biden’s award from Planned Parenthood, I was envisioning a brick with a sculpture of bloody forceps. And I’m not sure why it isn’t called the Kermit Gosnell Award. Biden received the 2026 Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award from the abortion biz and Biden … Read more
The overall economic news is good. GDP is up, wages and annual income are up, inflation is under control, the economy is adding real jobs, and hundreds of thousands of people who wanted full-time work but were stuck in part-time hell have found full-time jobs. We’re in a great place if we can just survive … Read more
While the political left wails about another act of Trump tyranny, the real infringement has gone unreported and practically unnoticed. CNN, MSNOW, and Politico sued to regain their campus access rights to the White House. There’s no such thing, but a judge has already ordered that they be allowed back. The nation is filled with … Read more
Until this year, 1914 was the least active Atlantic Basin hurricane season on record. I know, on record doesn’t mean much. If the Earth is 4 billion years old, the absence of 3.9999999999… billion years’ worth of records makes any predictions or remembrances appear insignificant. And so they are, but what interests me isn’t how … Read more
On September 15, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed some of the nation’s key figures in the organic food sector at the Willard InterContinental Washington Hotel in Washington, D.C. Appearing on the second day of the Organic Trade Association’s annual Organic Week conference, the secretary participated in a question-and-answer session led by OTA Co-Chief … Read more
There are and have been cases where a pregnant mother is killed, and both deaths are litigated as wrongful deaths. Laws exist to that end, and we have one here in New Hampshire (Fetal Homicide Statute). But a case in New Mexico appears to be the first of its kind. The estate of a 26-week-old … Read more
It does not matter the topic or the issue; as far as the JV talking heads on MSNOW are concerned, Donald Trump and his supporters are guilty. It goes beyond the absolute hatred of Donald Trump; it is obvious that these people are rooting against America in every story they discuss. Trump addressed the UN … Read more

Today on the Morning Update, the 2028 presidential prom is coming up, and Kamala Harris doesn’t have a “date” yet. The DNC doesn’t want her, California voters don’t want her, but she’s an entitled climber with her eyes on the only rung left, and she has to earn this one. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble … Read more
Let’s just stipulate one thing right off the top: If Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, Tim Walz of Minnesota, and JB Pritzker of Illinois are adamantly opposed to something involving energy policy, it’s a safe bet that what they’re fighting against is actually a really good idea. That’s definitely the case for the Stop Climate … Read more
