Moral relativism, relative secularism, and the idea that good and evil are subjective are always a pretext for evil behavior. It is, after all, much easier to excuse evil if you don’t believe in it. If the ends justify the means, then othering people and encouraging your base to do evil for you with violent … Read more

Today on the Morning Update, instead of talking about Democrat or government scams, we’re tuning up a new one. The Free Piano Scam. Why? I keep getting emails offering me a free piano. No one in my house plays, and we don’t do the same either. Here’s a quick look at this one. Watch on … Read more
Democrats couldn’t manage a lemonade stand without losing money to waste, fraud, and abuse, and yet they think they have a leg to stand on when it comes to the subject of affordability. Both the present and their history show they can’t. Taxes, regulations, interventions- did I mention taxes? That all comes out of your … Read more
Pretending to care about people’s property is so cute, but that’s what Minnesota, of all places, just did. It pretended to care. Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed legislation May 4 banning the installation of crypto ATMs, also known as kiosks, which are commonly found at gas stations and convenience stores. Existing machines must be removed … Read more
As Americans gather to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary, partisan divisions will fade as patriots both red and blue join in celebrating the blessings of the remarkable feats of the nation. The Founding Fathers had doubts that their new political experiment would last so long, but their dream of a thriving Republic has persisted despite … Read more
The interstate migration of Americans has been happening for decades, but is it giving the Left too much credit to say it is part of a master plan? We have enough empirical data to show that there is a significant disparity in states’ success or failure, driven by the trend and history of the Party … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, I’ve said it more than once and offered plenty of examples. Democrats destroy everything they touch. Today’s is just the latest example, and why you need to make sure everyone understands what it means before the November Mid-Terms. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not … Read more
Our Founding Fathers, taught to read from the bible on their mother’s knee, knew the good book was the foundation of the holy cause of liberty. The Preamble clearly revealed its biblical source: to establish Justice from (Amos 5:15); to insure domestic tranquility (1 Timothy 2:2); to provide for common defense and the general welfare … Read more
This week, on GrokTALK! we take a walk down conversion therapy lane: laws that were passed whose language tells you everything you need to know about Democrats, what they want, how they rule, and what happens when you don’t toe the big blue line. “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of … Read more
If you read the hundreds of pieces of content I’ve published on the subject, you might come away thinking I hate Electric Vehicles, but I love Golf Carts. A few beers or a bottle of Jack, a few joints (replaced these days with “gummies”, perhaps), and the fun never ends. I have a different relationship … Read more
I want to preface my comments today by saying I am not in favor of singling out specific groups of people for recognition, such as Black History Month or Indigenous Peoples’ Day. I am not in favor of politicians addressing a targeted group, like Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. I despise the word, but I … Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, the subject is one of my two favorite beverages. One is pictured in the featured image of every installment of this program, and the other is beer. Water’s okay, I guess – and you need it to make beer and coffee – but good news for you, me, Dunkin, Starbucks, … Read more
The expression “fight for your rights” is usually associated with socialism. Socialists and statists fought—and still fight—for positive rights, as in FDR’s famous “freedom from want,” which suggests that the people have the right to receive from the state the material conditions necessary for an arbitrarily defined “dignified” life, such as housing, healthcare, education, pension, and various … Read more
Ian Underwood explains why we need to rethink education and key areas to change in this 40-minute talk presented at Freedom Palooza in North Country, NH, in July 2026. Ian summarizes three of his books on education covering three areas to rethink. He recommends changing “fairness” to be about what is learned rather than being … Read more
If you want to “Thelma and Louise it” (the end of the movie, not all the stuff before that), there’s not much to stop you, and I mean that metaphorically. Though I suppose you could do a reenactment, which – aside from ruining a perfectly good 1966 Ford Thunderbird – would bring out the advocates … Read more
Bipartisan outrage is uncommon these days, so when you see it, you’d best stop and take a look at what it is, who’s selling it, and who or what benefits. The rear-view mirror bipartisan outrage over the response to COVID is the result of living the damage it did and continues to do. The culprit … Read more
One of the things the Trump haters have become obsessed with is calling your president a pedophile. Given the standard rules for Democrats, that means THEY are. They say Trump is a fascist while doing fascist things. They accuse him of using government to enrich himself. These were projections, and we’ve seen the evidence in … Read more
Another Breakfast with Claude Author: (sliding into the booth and grabbing the coffee cup) Hi Claude! I read that your cousin, Sol, broke out of his training container and went hunting for test answers over at Hugging Face and other sites! That’s quite a trick, all the way around! I’m impressed! Claude: (raises the terrible … Read more
