The Left has found an alternative to the old-fashioned rose-colored glasses of optimism. The new version is the smokey-gray colored glasses of cynicism and pure hatred. This new relationship phase that has come about with the ever-widening divide between the Left and Right goes far beyond the tongue-in-cheek chatter about Trump Derangement Syndrome. TDS started … Read more

J. is joined by Middle East expert Jason Pack, of the Disorder Podcast and NATO Foundation, to break down the geopolitical state of the Iran military conflict and how it compares to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya.

Horizontal escalation occurs when a state at war widens the geographic and political scope of the conflict, rather than intensifying it vertically in a single theater of operations. It is especially appealing as a strategy for the weakest side in a military contest. Instead of trying to defeat a stronger adversary head-on, the weaker side … Read more
In the arid mountains of Iran, a terrifying engineering marvel has been carved into the bedrock. In the arid mountains of Iran, a terrifying engineering marvel has been carved into the bedrock — not for the benefit of the people, but to ensure the survival of a regime. While 2026 finds the average Iranian family struggling … Read more
The corridors of power in Brussels and the grand palaces of European capitals have served as the ultimate stage for a 47-year betrayal. Since the black day of the 1979 Revolution, while the Iranian people bled under the lash of a medieval theocracy, European leaders have played the role of the willing enabler. They trade … Read more
Last November, I reported on an announcement by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s competitions. The move began last year, after World Athletics required anyone competing as a woman to undergo a genetic test. The IOC met to discuss and announced its plan to require a test that … Read more
I recently got an email from someone who is concerned that President Trump is getting us into another “quagmire” of a war in the Middle East. Here was my response: I’m sorry, but I feel very differently about the Iran war. Iran has been at war with America since it took the hostages from the … Read more
People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) is a parasitic anomaly. To call them Iranian is a tactical error and a historical lie. They are a cult of ideological mercenaries who severed their veins from the Iranian motherboard decades ago. They do not represent a political movement; they represent a decommissioned weapon system, repurposed by foreign … Read more
This week, on GrokTALK!, Big Brother was always going to be a problem for the modern world, for law-abiding citizens and criminals alike. But now we’ve got AI to go with it, Flock, Smartphones, Ring Cameras, and even racist facial recognition systems. I kid you not. Strap in for a look at privacy and AI … Read more
The UK appears to have reached a point where it has so ruined itself that the only way to preserve any sense of unity is to have its own great Satan. That Alinsky-esque target you freeze and isolate in your people’s minds. The cause of all the ills that you must unite to defeat. In … Read more
The “Deep State” is not just corrupt US politicians. It’s a transnational criminal organization that has embedded itself within governments around the globe and leveraged entire nations to do its bidding. Or as JFK called it, a “secret society” and a “monolithic and ruthless conspiracy”. It is a system that has conscripted vast human and … Read more
The lust for world government goes all the way back to the Tower of Babel. It’s the unquenchable thirst of men wanting to play god. The power move under which we now live was born in the mind of Edward Mandel House. House dominated the Wilson Administration and had overwhelming success in FDR’s New Deal; … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, Greta Thunberg is outraged at what America “is doing” to Cuba, but doesn’t seem to know much about what Cuba has been doing to Cubans. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the embedded video does not load.* Ep 130 Links: Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their own and may … Read more
Written over several days (Note: I’m back in the US – a travel tale I’ll have in a separate post.) So it’s been several days, and overall, the frequency of “incoming” has gone down by a large margin. But while there are qualitative as well as quantitative indications of that, fire seems to be focused … Read more
When you put people and equipment in action, even the best planning doesn’t protect everyone from accidents or tragedy. There are a lot of both milling about in the Middle East with kinetic intent, so failure is an exponentially likely option. Last week, a KC-135 tanker went down. Multiple reports claimed all sorts of things, … Read more
The “New” Ayatollah has arrived, and it is a horrible joke played on the back of a nation. As of March 9, 2026, the Assembly of Experts – under the boot of the Revolutionary Guard – has officially crowned Mojtaba Khamenei as the Supreme Leader. This is not a leadership transition; it is a palace coup by … Read more
I drink a lot of coffee, and I’ve been drinking it since I was six. I’ve told the story before. Both parents recovered alcoholics who helped alcoholics recover. Lots of AA meetings. Smoky rooms, free-flowing java from stainless steel industrial tanks (they look big when you’re six), with too much cream and sugar. I am … Read more
As New Hampshire State Chapter Leader for the Independent Women’s Network, I’ve seen Americans wake up to leftist hypocrisy and media lies. My own exit from the Democratic Party came from watching selective outrage: people who scream “believe women” and “save the children” ignore real oppression in Iran. The regime there is a machine of … Read more
For decades, the American people have been fed a steady diet of lies regarding “democracy building” in the Middle East. But the most dangerous deception is happening right now, orchestrated by the very man who once held the keys to the CIA and the State Department: Mike Pompeo. This isn’t just about bad policy; it … Read more
The headline reads, “UK Mulls Banning 67 Dog Breeds for ‘Animal Health’ — but Is That Really the Reason?” My first thought, before reading it was, shouldn’t it be, UK Mullahs Banning 67 Dog Breeds for ‘Animal Health’ — but Is That Really the Reason?” The UK’s Daily Mail reported Thursday that this initiative comes from the … Read more
