GrokTALK: Myth Busting the Left on Iran

11 min 18 sec ago

This week, on GrokTALK!, we share a great piece by Michal Doran at Tablet Mag, fisking and debunking the Left’s “Iran myths” and Mr. Maggie Goodlander (Jake Sullivan’s) left-wing approved disinformation campaign. There was a plan, and it’s clear as day if you aren’t befuddled by your TDS. We lay it out, follow Doran’s logic ... Read more

MACDONALD: It’s Not Just about Wealth Taxes

Mon, 2026-04-20 21:00 +0000

I am responsible for a flurry of recent content on wealth taxes. Rich Democrats like to play class warfare games, using emotion, envy, not of them, but of the other rich people. It’s an easy move, though not typically as effective in America, but it has found more traction on the left thanks to years ... Read more

Morning Update: The Democrat Party Is “The Jab”

Mon, 2026-04-20 11:00 +0000

Today, on the Morning Update, as the midterms loom, it is more important than ever to understand that the Left’s COVID tyranny and the deployment of the so-called vaccines weren’t some one-time flex. That era didn’t create its model for one-party rule; it exposed it. [Transcript provided below] Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if ... Read more

ROPER: Poster Child for Failed Government

Mon, 2026-04-20 02:00 +0000

Many Vermont Democrats are giddy over the prospect of a genuinely competitive opponent to take on Phil Scott for the first time in 10 years: Aly Richards. All I can say is, it’s cute that you think that. While I’ll buy that Richards is likely to put up a better show than Esther Charlestin or ... Read more

MACDONALD: Yet Another Reason Wind and Solar Suck

Sun, 2026-04-19 21:00 +0000

We’ve shared stories about cities, states, and nations forced to pay so-called renewable providers for this or that. Taxpayers paid subsidies to get them built, and subsidized them to make the price appear reasonable. Taxpayers pay extra in taxes, licensing, fees, fines, and the rest to feed that beast, on top of the price they ... Read more

IMANI: Erdogan’s Blood-Soaked Arms Cartel – Drones, Death, and Family Profits

Sun, 2026-04-19 18:00 +0000

The Turkish Republic no longer functions as a sovereign state; it operates as a family-run arms bazaar. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has forged a throne out of shrapnel and drone circuitry, turning the machinery of war into a private ATM for his inner circle. Erdoğan has transformed Turkey from a mere NATO outpost into a global ... Read more

MACDONALD: What Are East Kingston and Kensington Hiding?

Sun, 2026-04-19 16:00 +0000

I’m not sure what the East-Kingston and Kenisington School Boards want to keep hidden so badly, but they are spending a lot of tax dollars on legal fees to keep it that way. Taxpayers proposed a warrant article to create a non-taxpayer-funded committee to explore ways to save taxpayers’ money. The school budget is out ... Read more

Sun, 2026-04-19 14:00 +0000

Washington has a choice this tax season: build on policies that are already driving business investment and wage growth or return to the uncertainty that has long held employers back.

In a recent installment of the Morning Update, the subject was conversion therapy and the transgender agenda. I identified the issue as finding a path to align the mind with the body and the mind with the real world. That’s what you would do if your agenda were wellness and happiness, because it is incredibly ... Read more

CARTER: Congress Has a Plan. Several, Actually

Sun, 2026-04-19 02:00 +0000

Spring in Washington usually brings cherry blossoms, warmer weather, and a familiar reminder that Congress has a habit of taking on more than it can neatly resolve. This year is no different. What stands out is how much is moving at once, and how much now depends on Republicans keeping their strategy aligned with President ... Read more

MACDONALD: Maine’s Highest Court Rains on Rank Choice Voting Parade

Sat, 2026-04-18 21:00 +0000

Maine missed the message, but that’s okay; it probably can’t get there from here. Americans, including some who live in blue states, are rejecting rank choice voting. I know, they call it ranked, but I call it rank, because it stinks. I know that because lots of Democrats want it, which means it is bad ... Read more

Anderson: Assisted Suicide Is the Logical Outcome of Government-Controlled Medical Care

Sat, 2026-04-18 16:00 +0000

Christianity Today recently published an article by Kristy Etheridge that was very critical of Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, something that would not be surprising, given the magazine’s evangelical Christian outlook on issues. The article—again, not surprisingly—dealt mostly with how many Christian groups, and especially the Roman Catholic Church, have spoken out against Canada’s program and ... Read more
