GrokTALK!: ICYMI – A Gender-Cult “Wreck-oning?”

38 min 24 sec ago

No Ever-Living Podcast this week, so I rolled out one of our more popular installments from Feb, 2026. Has a reckoning (wreckoning?) finally arrived for all those therapists, doctors, and maybe even the public-school groomers who created the mental illness, encouraged it, and then convinced kids they were in the wrong body (for politics, fun, ...

CARDELLO: Democrats Are Not Just Rooting Against Trump

Tue, 2026-04-21 21:00 +0000

Maybe Trump Derangement Syndrome is a convenient excuse to overlook the years of Eric Swalwell committing sexual crimes against God knows how many women. Maybe looking like total fools, telling their followers that we are losing the effort in Iran, is a distraction for Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, stealing $5M in FEMA funds meant for ...

MACDONALD: Another Reason Colleges are Closing

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

Small Colleges closing might seem like a problem when large colleges probably need to close, but maybe some will. Last week, I spent a few minutes on an episode of the morning update about a rural Vermont College shuttering its operation. Declining student enrollment was clearly a result of a shift toward trade schools and ... Read more

CARDELLO: Hank Johnson and Jasmine Crockett are Despicable Human Beings

Tue, 2026-04-21 16:00 +0000

Hank Johnson has been a member of Congress since 2007 and lives in the Atlanta area. I say he lives there rather than represents the people of Atlanta because Hank Johnson is a despicable human being. If the folks of Atlanta paid attention to his actions, they may choose someone else to represent them. I ... Read more

Morning Update: Free EV*

Tue, 2026-04-21 11:00 +0000

Today on the Morning Update, some wingnut has called for a national divorce, while EV makers continue to write off tens of billions in losses. It occurs to me that these two matters are, or could be, connected, solving not just both but a good deal more. Free EV* – conditions apply. Transcript below Watch ... Read more

IMANI: Why Iran is Betting on American ‘Strategic Narcissism.’

Tue, 2026-04-21 09:00 +0000

Iran’s IRGC is in it for the long haul, while America thinks in the short term, and politicians must face a quickly bored public. As the dust settles over the ruins of IRGC headquarters and the smoke clears from the latest round of precision strikes, a dangerous narrative is taking root in Washington. The narrative ...

CARDELLO: Maybe the Democrats Need to Read the Constitution

Tue, 2026-04-21 02:00 +0000

The Democrats love to claim that they are the keepers of Democracy and that they are the Party of the working class. Maybe they were 60 years ago, though it seems like some of the senior Dems have been in office since the Kennedy years; they could not be more removed from my parents’ Democrat ... Read more

GrokTALK: Myth Busting the Left on Iran

Tue, 2026-04-21 00:00 +0000

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
