In the waning days of 2025, the once-celebrated ideal of multiculturalism lies in tatters, exposed by a cascade of violent incidents and societal fractures across Europe, the U.K., and beyond.

As I reported, or perhaps opined, on this week’s edition of GrokTALK!, Democrats are talking about affordability around a mouthful of policy objectives that do the opposite. And as noted here, “A Democrat wouldn’t know affordability if it bit them in the ass. Not one thing they propose, have done, or might do makes life … Read more
Are you wondering why the Republican Senate has accomplished almost nothing of Trump’s legislative agenda? If not, you should be. And here is why the feckless Republicans again fail the 80 million voters who returned Donald J. Trump to the White House as the 47th President of the United States. Simply put, there is the … Read more
New Hampshire’s public schools have problems. No matter how much money we pour into them, the results get worse. Money, therefore, mathematically, economically, academically, and scientifically, is not the answer. Money, practically speaking, leads to worse outcomes. This fact aligns two problems in a common solution. Schools are the reason why property taxes are so … Read more
I have always had a problem with media celebrities who elevate themselves above the event they are covering. This unfortunate occurrence can happen whether it’s a news or a sporting event. The usual solution is the handy mute button, which works if you can still see the event, but it does not provide the remedy … Read more

A common myth about American history is the one in which a handful of so-called “founding fathers” in the 1780s declared that America would create a “wall of separation” between religious institutions and government institutions. After that, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was instrumental in ensuring that religious institutions would be totally separate … Read more
A few years into my now nearly eighteen years in the political blogging trenches, the cultural Marxist wingnuts running the Democrat Party (in my state, in this instance) promoted a bathroom bill. It would permit men who think they are women to use the ladies’ room. It failed, but my initial reporting included what I thought … Read more

Yes, I heard the cries of a number of you behind me begging me not to do it. Yes, I saw a goodly number of you stand up to walk out of the room to avoid the vote. I even stood for the request to register the vote via a roll call. It was, in … Read more
How Unchecked Diversity and Assimilation Failures Fuel Antisemitism and Violence From Bondi Beach to Washington, D.C., the failure to demand shared values and loyalty has left Western societies vulnerable to both Islamist extremism and homegrown antisemitism.

Education, EFAs, and Administrative Inheritance Entering Charles Merriam’s Marble Cake Factory Education policy in the United States is often framed as a simple contest between federal authority and state authority, as though the two operate in separate spheres. In practice, modern education governance functions through an administrative ecosystem shaped by federal statutes, federal agency rulemaking, … Read more
Today on the Morning Update, it is expected that people will eat with utensils, some sort of racist, white colonialistic cultural pressure campaign. Some libs (prolly white women) think so, let’s take a look.

There are no redeeming qualities to Representative Al Green (D-TX). He is a disrespectful and rude individual who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and whose sole purpose in Congress is to file impeachment papers on Donald Trump. Green just filed his seventh attempt at removing Trump from the White House. Like the previous six, he … Read more
President Trump should be done playing games with the spineless relics infesting his administration. Reports are that he’s fed up with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s pathetic inaction, her failure to unleash hell on the Deep State criminals and Democrat scum who tried to destroy him. It’s time for a brutal New Year’s shake-up: axe Bondi … Read more

I’m sorry, but I can’t help myself. Democrats dropped a photo of Trump with a bunch of adult women, blocked out their faces, then accused him of getting “caught” in an Epstein photo dump with underage girls. You’ll probably know the details by now—adult women. No Epstein. And Mr. Trump was reported to be a … Read more
