The realignment of American politics continues publicly with defections like those of RFKJ, Gabbard, MC Armstrong, and countless others (celebrities, media, tech moguls) and with an unknown number of still anonymous defectors. Women, blacks, Latinos, almost everyone has found themselves under a boot of some sort in which resides the foot of the Democrat party. … Read more
What have we learned over the last month about girls’ soccer in New Hampshire? In Bow, we learned that if a parent wears a pink wristband with XX on it to a girls’ soccer game, they will be issued a trespass order. In Kearsarge, we learned that if a parent is a child sexual predator attending the … Read more
The Butler did it this weekend. That is, Butler, Pennsylvania, did it on Saturday afternoon as Donald Trump returned to the spot where an assassin attempted to end his life just twelve weeks ago. This rally was not your typical Trump event. It was so much more. Saturday’s event was filled with emotion, remembrance, and … Read more
Another dem has publicly walked away from the party – with a bit of style. MC Armstrong took to X this week to publish his “Career Suicide note.” He is voting for Donald Trump. It is a great note, but all the things he names about Democrats that made him choose Trump, we must acknowledge … Read more
While that line is from John Wick Chapter 2 (which is one of the very few movie series that I’ll sit and watch over and over again – I generally don’t “do” movies EVER), I think that is the longer version of the Jewish rally cry of “Never again!” The Jewish nation will never accede … Read more
Ayup, it has finally become clear to me – THIS is what my gender really and truly is. And I’ve just figured out my authentic self, which I have been doing for years without knowing how to articulate it. Now I do! I am COMPLETE! Gotta update that clothing, though – I’ve never liked rounded … Read more
You’re looking at the menu, and there are just two choices. It’s beef and chicken, but you’re a vegetarian. You don’t want to starve, but what do you do? We’ve recently heard from two intelligent and very respectable people, Doris and Jose. Many of us are or were already familiar with the merits of their … Read more
In response to public outcry, a Bennington County school district is taking heat for what parents say is a recently announced ban on saying the Pledge of Allegiance. The Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union includes Mt. Anthony Union High School in Bennington, and schools in Pownal, Arlington, Shaftsbury, and Sandgate. According to the story reported by News 10 out … Read more
Here at the ‘Grok, we’ve had the good misfortune of watching how Democrats create the need for new taxes in real time. This is important. Dems will run on a platform with no tax hikes or new taxes if they must, but these promises are empty. Once in charge, the first order of business is … Read more
Do EPA regulations prohibit racism or implement it? A recent federal court decision prohibited the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating pollution based on skin color. Viewed as a blow to “environmental justice” initiatives, the Louisiana decision hinged on an important distinction between government policies created with racist intent versus those that result in racially disparate impacts. The … Read more
I know people who can’t go places because of some actual or perceived trauma. It’s a rough ride for them. But that’s regular folks—you and me. We’re not looking to run the free world. You need desire, ambition, perseverance, and fearlessness. You need a clue. Some intellectual agility. And experience helps. Mr. Trump, like him … Read more
A sordid story of broken boundaries has emerged out of a high school girl’s soccer game. A trans-identifying soccer player was allowed to play against the Hillsboro Deering girl’s team on October 1st, violating New Hampshire state law (HB1205). The parents of the opposing Hillsboro Deering team were not initially notified by the school that … Read more
The climate crazies are getting their hurricane season peak a month late this year because (same as always) trying to live a comfortable lifestyle broke the planet. September started to show some promise a bit late, but October? We’ve got more cyclones than you can shake a hockey stick at. And while FEMA does bureaucratic … Read more
The presumption of liberty is an established liberal tradition according to which any restrictions on individual liberty require justification. Gerald Gaus and Shaun Nichols depict this as a principle of “natural liberty,” a “general presumption in favor of freedom of action.” As they explain, if natural liberty is a general presumption we expect, it to … Read more
Doug Emhoff (Kamala’s alleged husband) has adopted something of a new masculinity, crafted by communications experts and sold by the media. He’s the new man (how Marxist)—what a guy should be—the perfect example of what a First Gentleman should look like, you know, if were to become one. It’s all bullsh!t. Emhoff, like Kamala, is damaged goods … Read more
Kamala Harris, the inept individual who wants to be President, told us on Wednesday, nearly a week after the rain started falling in the southeast, that she was proud of our support for the victims of Hurricane Helene. Families who have lost their homes, cars, neighborhoods, and possibly some of their families will get a … Read more
Be they bewildering, perplexing, or just puzzling, the world is filled with things that don’t seem to or perhaps don’t always make sense. Not right away, nor even after some measure of consideration. Our tolerance for such things will be as manifold as there are people to consider them, but some things oughtn’t be so … Read more
Dear Ms. Fenton, After repeated complaints by residents and parents around New Hampshire, I am requesting an investigation into the illegal actions by the Kearsarge school district, and any other district that has participated in their illegal activity. HB1205 was signed into law in July by Governor Sununu, and requires schools to designate athletics by … Read more
The world was a dangerous place on September 11, 2001, and is now even more so. Freedom is shaken by terrorism, and terrorism neither fears nor respects complacent joy. Eleanor Hodgman Porter was born in Littleton, New Hampshire, in 1868. She wrote several novels with little notice, but at the start of World War One, … Read more
We’ve no shortage of debunking on these pages when it comes to the hyperbolic prognostications of climate cultists. These are people whose gambling advice you’d best not take unless you know your bet is backstopped by endless federal grants to friends and family, who then fund their re-election campaigns to keep the cycle of fiscal … Read more
