BOWMAN: The Beast Among Us

The attempts against President Trump’s life and the assassination of Charlie Kirk are measures when the communists feel threatened by the power of an effective enemy. Their usual tactics of personal slander, public discrediting, or ridicule are as ineffective as they were against Trump.  Such tactics worked against McCarthy and Goldwater, but neither man had … Read more

JANZ: When Will We Care for the Dangerously Mentally Ill?

In the 1960s, the ACLU and other human rights organizations examined the state of mental health care in the US and came to the conclusion that it was ineffective and possibly unconstitutional. Two seminal events cause the eventual reduction and almost total elimination of mental health facilities in the US. The first was the Community … Read more

CARDELLO: Jen Psaki Needs to Circle Back or Check Her Mirror

Jen Psaki is a rising star at MSNBC, not because of her talent or resume, but because those above her on the network roster are being rightly eliminated. Psaki was a below-average press secretary who made famous the response, “I need to circle back on that,” which was code for “I am totally unprepared to … Read more

Memes 3 times a week

Friday Meme Thing

Another Friday end-of-the-week thing means another Friday meme thing, with thanks (as always) to the cadre of meme hunters and gatherers who make this massive Friday meme thing possible. How many? More than fifty and less than one hundred. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … Read more

CARDELLO: Rhetoric is a Leftist Problem

Words have consequences, and when those words evolve into action, the person who spoke the words needs to be held accountable. As much as the Left wants to include the Right in this battle of words, the Left owns this game, and if they cannot control it or do not want to control it, then … Read more

MACDONALD: How Could They Not Know The Risk?

The untimely demise of Turning Point USA’s CEO has created a wealth of fertile ground. Charlie’s passing has energized the world to step up and speak out in favor of free speech. While not a big deal in the United States, no other nation in the world has our First Amendment. So-called western Democracies are … Read more

BRADLEY: Mental Illness

Every time it happens, we say never again … JFK, RFK, MLK! Let’s face the fact: Mental Illness often requires institutionalization! Until our society acknowledges that the shuttering of mental institutions in the late 1980s, as I recall, has enabled and escalated violence in our society, the violence will continue! Charles, what makes you think … Read more

MACDONALD: Sotomayor Was Never Bad On Free Speech

The sort-of, kind-of fallout has begun to settle from AG Pam Bondi’s remarks about prosecuting hate speech. It’s been a few days, an interminable amount of internet time, and other mausements are bound to distract. No one’s talking about the war in Ukraine, for example, so if Bondi can manage not to attract attention, the … Read more

SIMS: Conflating Common Sense and Extremism: Why Feminist Labeling Fails

The debate surrounding gender, identity, and political ideology has become intensely polarized—nowhere more so than in the rhetoric used by some feminist writers, and liberal women. When columns like Milli Hill’s on Substack paint “right-wing men” as the embodiment of extremism, and frame basic biological or family-based values as dangerous, they do more than distort … Read more

ROPER: Education Reformers Say They’re Data Driven, But Are They?

National test scores are out for our K-12 students, and the results – again – are not good. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) shows that in 2024, barely half of high school seniors had a basic proficiency or better in math, and a third scored “below basic” in reading. This trend of declining … Read more

GT MORNING UPDATE: The Kimmel Kibosh and UNH Kirk Vigil

Don’t get used to this, but I had a few thoughts to share on some overnight news and thought a GrokTALK! (GT) Morning Update might be a way to do that—five minutes or less. Please don’t get used to it. That pompous prick Jimmy Kimmel got pre-empted indefinitely (yay!) and there was a Charli Kirk … Read more

MACDONALD: Memphis, Crime, Trump, and The National Guard

In case you missed the memo, Memphis, Tennessee, one of the Left’s many crime capitals, is getting a deployment of National Guardsmen to help with the out-of-control criminal element. Memphis, if you forgot, is where five brown cops beat brown Tyre Nichols to death in 2023. In 2024, the two-toned Biden Administration declared that the … Read more

CARDELLO: Spiritual Revival or Hateful Rhetoric

The title of today’s piece is really unfair to the Left, because they are not only tripping over each other to be more insensitive or disgusting, but they are also getting physically active to disrupt peaceful right-wing events. When it comes to the Left, they can be as ignorant with their mouths as they are … Read more
