The Left’s new poster child for revolution, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, sparked some early memories. In 1969, the John Birch Society (“JBS”) hosted a speaker in Windham, NH. Charley Smith was a young, black college student from LA; one of the best speakers I’ve ever heard! He joined the JBS after surviving the Watts riots. Looking … Read more
Last Saturday, the ignorant and their keepers executed an impressive display. Tens of thousands, reportedly, turned out in opposition to a constitutionally elected president because they wanted the other candidate. Styled as a resistance to tyranny, the assembled zombies marched, chanted, and waved signs; debates about how many were paid to do so are interesting … Read more

My son once said, “Dad, I think you were once a bit of a hippy!” I told him that if you grew up in the Sixties, it was unavoidable. LBJ’s war resulted in 52,000 dead young American men in Vietnam. Whether we can admit it to ourselves or not, the United States is again in the … Read more
I had a new episode of GrokTALK! in the works, complete with lots of clips, moving parts, and commentary, when it crashed. This is not typically an issue, but when I reloaded the app, it had changed, and I was unable, try as I might, to log back into it. I hope to find a … Read more
The left has settled on a fresh justification for the Los Angeles riots. “California was part of Mexico, all of the Southwest is Mexico, so the roots are really deep in that region,” said former Univision anchor María Elena Salinas on a CNN panel. “And what they’re saying is ‘No, not in our community.’ Because … Read more
Day after day, the key Democrats of this country are continuing to deny the violence that is entering its sixth night in Los Angeles. It would be comical how ignorant these people sound if the reason we have been writing about L.A. for days were not so serious. Maxine Waters, whose expiration date is far … Read more

Well-funded activists and a coordinated social media campaign helped spark the pro-illegal migrant protests on Friday that descended into days of rioting in Los Angeles. Left-wing groups posted calls to action with a location to gather on Friday in unison after the arrest of a local Service Employees International Union (SEIU) leader on Friday. The … Read more
The party that lets its voters play-act at picking the candidate they want for president, then chooses one for them, is holding over 1500 rallies. Protests. June 14th is No Kings Day. And no, they are not protesting how the DNC and Democrat party elite subvert their will. This is about how the American Republic … Read more
