Two weeks ago, I wrote an article laying out the political class’s struggle to preserve its legitimacy by fighting to regain control over the digital information space. The piece built on Martin Gurri’s thesis that the wide adoption of the internet has caused an information revolution that, similar to the adoption of the printing press, has allowed dissent to grow and spread beyond the control of the ruling classes.

Night Cap: Bidenomics – Better Than Abysmal is Still Miserable
“Bidenomics is working!”
At least that’s what Joe Biden and his administration tell us every chance they get, citing cherry-picked statistics to prove their point. They tout the most recent inflation figure of 3.4 percent and compare it to last year, when the inflation rate was a crippling 6.5 percent.
Our Courts Should Learn From Our Sports
Ambidextrous by birth, professional baseball player Pat Venditte was able to pitch about equally well with either hand.
And he had a special six-fingered glove that he could use to catch with using either hand.
This gave him an advantage in that he could switch his pitching hand depending on the handedness of whatever hitter he was facing.
Fani Says It’s Racist To Call Her Corrupt
Fani Willis, the political hack prosecutor in Georgia persecuting … not a typo: persecuting, not prosecuting Trump and his supporters for the “crimes” of complaining that the rigged 2020 election was rigged, has been accused, essentially, of using her office to launder money to her boyfriend.
Offensive but Accurate
For an oldster like me, the current inner-city violence and destruction is only the next stage of an agenda that was underway even before my male-gender birth. Certain past highlights now stand out as former unnoticed signals yet have planted the formational seeds for today’s hateful attitudes and cultural cleansing.
Don’t You Dare Call Them Isurrectionists
A few nights ago, a violent pro-Hamas mob attempted to storm the Whitehouse. But they are not insurrectionists, and let me explain why. The United States of America is now the Apartheid State of America. There are different rules.
Night Cap: Who Has Standing to Sue If Not US?
Last week, yet another election-process challenge was argued in court: this time, federal U.S. District for New Hampshire. At issue was the sleight-of-hand unauthorized extension of primary voter dates to change party – part of a schema of Trump-haters to empower non-GOP outsiders to vote in the state GOP primary election, then to switch back to their own ‘other party’ affiliation to vote in the general election.
AP: Donald Trump is the Projected Winner of the Iowa Caucus
Donald Trump winning the Iowa Caucus is not a surprise – well, maybe to a few DeSantis and Haley staffers on Twitter – but that doesn’t mean no surprises are coming out of Iowa.
Teachers Pay Should Be Relative to The Success of The School or The Class
I used to agree that teachers are not being paid enough, but not so much anymore. I do believe we should support students going to college for teaching degrees. It is the only group I would agree to help with paying college loans, no others.
Distancing Themselves From Social Distancing
We were a few months into the COVID chaos – well past the two weeks or fifteen days or whatever the narrative had shifted to to flatten the curve. Masks were not just a mandate but a political statement, and social distancing dots had appeared on floors across the land—six feet, they said, which made no sense.
The Most Important Election in our Lifetime?
You’ve heard these words many times in the past year — the 2024 presidential race is “the most important election in our lifetime.” Is it really? Yes! Here’s one way to describe the environment surrounding this year’s election:
ICYMI – The Really Very Horrible Bad News About the mRNA Platform
I’ll leave it up to you to decide which is worse: the lie, the cover-up, or the harm to quality of life or loss of life. I’m inclined toward the latter, but we cannot escape how the former – and its water carriers caused the latter. Without truth, inquiry, debate, and science, people were injured by what they were told would protect them from harm.
Nikki Haley Is the Billionaire-ocracy’s Desperate Attempt To Finish the Job Obama Started
In 42 years of practicing law in California, I encountered firsthand what I labeled the BILLIONAIRE-OCRACY. Simply put, California was ruled by a very select and distinct group of very wealthy people who ran all the companies. The faces of the ruling class had names like Willie Brown (the man behind Kamala Harris), Nancy Pelosi, and Gavin Newsom.
It “Hertz” – Rental Company to Dump Thousands of Electric Vehicles
We can only hope that the other faulty pillars of leftism collapse this year the way the Electric Vehicle market has in the past year. Dealers don’t want them. Inventory is backing up. Manufacturers are losing billions, and now Hertz is not only not going to buy 100,000 of them, it is dumping many of the EVs it has.
I Feel Dirty Watching These Two
Whenever I see and listen to Jamie Raskin (D-DE), I feel the need to wash my hands or shower. Raskin is a prototypical slimy politician who can pontificate on any subject and never tell the truth about any of it. He rose to prominence as part of the team that schemed to impeach Donald Trump and never let the facts or truth get in the way of his version. I think Raskin believes if he talks long enough, his listeners will not even remember the question, let alone the accuracy of Raskin’s answer.
Remember When the Political Left Wanted a Return to the Fairness Doctrine? That’ll Never Happen Again
If we learned anything at all from the drama that was COVID, it is that the government does not take your natural rights, or their protection, seriously. It is not interested in any opinion that is not its own, and using force to get its way is always an option. This should scare more people than it does.
Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow
To all those who are sending in memes, thank you – have gotten a lot lately! Keep them coming please, as it helps me gather weaponry to fight the Left. Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!
I Was Contacted by NewsGuard Yesterday About Rating This Website …
If You’ve not heard of NewsGuard, Lee Fang, writing at RealClear Wire – which (thank you!) shares its content with independent media like the ‘Grok, had some less than flattering observations about the service.
