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
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
No shortage of opinion about the advance of DSA Candidates who are running boldly in Democratic primaries across the nation. No Abigail Spanberger, they. She pretended to be moderate, then once elected showed her true-blue colors. A tactic and result that ought to be playing wide in every race across the country. You can’t trust … Read more
Something the Democratic Party, the Democratic Socialists, and National Socialists (as well as the communists) all have in common is envy. The fact is that the National Socialist Party itself — the Nazi Party — was itself propelled by envy, and today’s Democratic Socialist movement similarly uses envy as the engine of its appeal. New … Read more
Maine Democrats and just about anyone else who thinks they can flip Maine couldn’t be happier that the Nazi tattoo guy is no longer an albatross around their endorsement necks. Understand, this is all they care about. Bernie, for example, is still not sorry he endorsed Platner. Pappas, the political climber, had to admit that … Read more
GraniteGrok can be, for some more disciplined Republicans, something of a guilty pleasure. They would never announce they are fans, but we can say things they never would and maybe they should. Weekly, if not daily, we provide narrative ammo and armor that you can hand to your troops for the trench wars in social … Read more
There is no doubt that people who identify as democratic socialists are making large gains in the Democratic Party. They control mayoral offices in major cities like New York and Seattle and are going to be a force in the next Congress, having seen enormous success in the Democratic Party congressional primaries. However, there is … Read more
Since our faux-milquetoast New Hampshire Dems are playing at being moderates, it is worth revisiting the topic. How do you pretend to go to DC to represent New Hampshire interests when neither of you, Goodlander nor Pappas, is capable of standing up to the radicals who will run your caucus? The nut house has fractured. … Read more
The calendar may say that November 7, 2028 is a long way off, but presidential campaigning is a 24/7 year-round sport. The only poll that counts is the one taken by the American people on election day, but early polls show that the two frontrunners for the blue team are Kamala Harris and Congresswoman Sandy … Read more
If you have any doubts about whether a minority of radicals can consume a movement to the degree that it drives the bus, and drives it over its own moderates, you could look at history. Islam, the National Socialist (NAZI) Party in Germany, the Bolsheviks. Cuba right before Castro, China before Mao, and the American … Read more
Why America Still Deserves Our Loyalty, Our Effort, and Our Hope. Don’t Surrender Your Mind to the Politics of Demoralization. There is a quiet campaign underway in America, and it is not being fought with ballots or legislation alone. It is being fought in the mind. Its goal is simple: to convince Americans that the … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, there are plenty of clips, TikToks, Reels, and Shorts of Dems when they were a bit less insane, but this one from Hillary Clinton is something else. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. Ep 123 links: Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their own … Read more
I was messing with rich kid Stefany Shaheen on X the other day. She posted some left-Wing talking points about defunding ICE (or someone did using her name). I responded with three examples of criminal aliens, rape, murder, and so on, who would still be in America without ICE. There are tens of thousands of … Read more
Following on my earlier post, Dems-n-Energy, I bring you another fake concern of the left that could be addressed, at least in part and almost immediately, if the Dems tried this one easy thing. In Dems-n-energy, it was the price of energy. Here, we’re talking education costs, which are the single greatest driver of high … Read more
Wherever you happen to be sitting as you read this, energy prices probably matter. In the United States or out, yes – we have readers in nearly every country on the planet, how much it costs to heat, cool, cook, and live in the 21st century turns on the cost of the energy necessary to … Read more
Anyone with the signatures can vie to replace Platner. That’s what the Maine Democrat State Party is saying. “Candidates now have the ability to submit their declaration of intent and begin engaging Maine Democrats in earnest by earning their support and collecting signatures.” Commie Ro Khanna, whom I wrote about Saturday, wants Troy Jackson, whom … Read more
Calls for reduced U.S. engagement abroad, particularly regarding Israel, have grown louder on the hard left and in pockets of the right. While fiscal restraint and avoiding unnecessary wars are valid conservative concerns, the broader push toward isolationism or alliances with radicals risks weakening America’s security and betraying our principles. The DSA and the Hard … Read more
He was “Your Guy.” He was the All-American boy, the prototypical dude from Maine who would get up at 4 am to harvest oysters and slay Susan Collins after lunch. He was the guy who pushed Janet Mills and the establishment machine aside and got 70% of the vote in the Maine primary. He was … Read more
You may have heard the Men from Maine parody on WROR or seen some YouTube shorts. Self-deprecation can be hilarious, and white men are allowed, but Maine Democrats could probably do their own version. Democrat men from Maine. We’ve got the repeated accusations of poor behavior by Graham Platner, the systemic effort to cover it … Read more
Most readers are aware by now that there isn’t much ‘Grok readership in Ward 2, Nashua. Just look at the serial absence of representation in City Hall and the House, election after election, going back several cycles. Having “marked myself safe” from Alderman Dowd before last fall’s election, I can share good news: all of … Read more
