Today, on the morning update, the International Olympic Committee hired some scientists who said hateful things about B-Team Low-T men seeking glory at the expense of Real® women.

Over the many years since Vietnam, the caliber of our governance has only strengthened my skepticism and doubt. It also had me coming to grips with “we weren’t in it to win it!” And now, this recent election has justified my suspicions. It also validated my seemingly lifelong question, “Just what would Americans defend?” Admittedly, … Read more
Action item alert! So begins a “Part Deux” of the Nashua Ruling Class v. Paula Johnson, which I will give readers a quick refresher on in hopes of recruiting some volunteer posse members for Paula. Ward 5 Alderman-elect Paula Johnson was in a 4-way race for an open seat, beating the next highest scoring candidate … Read more

I have been a big advocate for decentralized power, which would allow diversity of opinion, practices, and so on, providing greater freedom as people could live with diverse policies. However, after the Civil War, America’s “one nation” ruins such choice, and replaces freedom with force, obligating everyone to follow the dictates of the center, controlled … Read more
A few weeks back, I had the privilege of co-hosting Granite State Live. GraniteGrok has had a close relationship with the program since its inception, but this was the first time I had the opportunity to co-host. Not for lack of invites, mind you, but logistics and time on my side. Our second guest was … Read more
Last week, New Hampshire’s “Free State Project” claimed to be the political heirs to Thomas Jefferson. Jason Sorens, the leader of the “Free State Project,” apparently believes that the “founding fathers” shared the same political philosophy. Aside from agreeing on independence, however, the “founding fathers” actually had very different political philosophies. George Washington and Alexander … Read more
After the recent debacle in the Senate, with Democrats refusing to pass a “clean” continuing resolution, and with Republicans having to create a special bill containing both the “clean” CR and a few spending bills that passed the house, we know who actually has the power in the Senate. And it isn’t the Republicans. The … Read more
Today, on the morning update, Trump outmaneuvered the Dems again; the shutdown filibuster has been busted, Dems gave in, and the Far left is Mad as Hell! Note: The Senate passed a bill after this was recorded (it must now pass the House). None of this is possible without your support – please give today … Read more
The habit of the dregs of the former British Empire to rely on state-run television is a practice America has been trying to shed. Defunding public broadcasting is something the UK or Canada would likely never accomplish, let alone seriously consider. And why bother? Until recently, America’s so-called privately owned and operated media was ideologically … Read more
Cory Booker (D-NJ) might be the only Democrat disappointed in the death of the Senate filibuster. Only the dramatic showman, like Booker, who loved the marathon speaking sessions he employed under the current filibuster rules. He rightly may be a party of one, as you would be hard pressed to find anyone in the Senate … Read more
This week on GrokTALK!, lots of topics like the alleged Capitol Police J6 pipe bomber, the fledgling deal to end the government shutdown, the Farmer’s Almanac hub-bub, Trump pardons 76 in one swipe of the pen, and Zorhan Mamdani’s connection to Maine (he was a whiny douche, then too). Note: In early December, the FBI … Read more
Even after Jihadis took down the World Trade Center, you decide if they did it because the CIA/FBI/NSA/ETC. Asked them to or let them, New York City continues to be the world capital of capitalism. As big a deal as it was, it didn’t change anything. Smoothed for inflation, there is no marked difference in … Read more
Shortly before Nashua’s most recent routine city-wide train wreck, I took some heat for making some inappropriate comments about the surprise death of Ms Gloria Timmons. To “polite society,” I say that any adjective, including INAPPROPRIATE, is in the eyes of the beholder, but there’s something about Ms Gloria that Ward 2 can learn from, … Read more

Let us not fail to see the truth hiding behind Trump euphoria. God blessed humankind with Inherent, unalienable rights, including the right to control one’s health. Preceding the Declaration of Independence’s challenge to a despotic world, a decade later, it was reinforced with teeth essential to liberty: the Bill of Rights. Congress shall make no Law … Read more
I contend that the Kardashians are popular, famous, and wealthy because they are a non-stop slow-motion train wreck. Like the rubberneckers that bring traffic on the non-accident side of the highway to a standstill, people have this objective obsession with other people’s misery. It is what makes reality television a thing that won’t go away. … Read more
This week on the Elsa Kurt Show, we unpack week six of the shutdown, who is blocking a deal, and how it’s hitting families, flyers, and the force. Then we break down New York City’s election turn, media framing of Trump’s 60 Minutes interview, cartel crackdowns, stopping genocide in Africa, Cheney’s legacy, and a major … Read more
