We ran into some issues with the initial launch of this iteration of The ‘Grok and had to do some tap dancing back and forth to fix them. I won’t bore you with details, but it wasn’t fun for me. We went live again at about 8:16 ET this evening. We seem to be stable ... Read more

This is an attempt to “break out” memes, links, and my commentary about the situation in Israel / the Middle East so as to not overload the standard meme posts that I do.  In these Israel-related posts I don’t just have memes such, but lots of informative links as well as hopefully-insightful commentary. Note that ... Read more

There is no shortage of content regarding the sanctity of free speech. Liberty by any name is impossible without it, and we know that Free Speech includes the right to be wrong because the government, exercising its right to unbridled expression, is wrong proudly and often. So, when the government or its advocates insist your opinion should be ... Read more

We’ve covered a bunch of sign stealers over the years – almost back to the time when we started 18 years ago. After all, it comes around every year – hopefuls trying to exercise their Free Speech Rights in getting their message (“I’M RUNNING! VOTE FOR ME!”) out to the electorate. And every year, we ...

As Social and Emotional Learning transitions to Transformative SEL, you will see more radicalized political agendas. Second Step, which is used in many NH schools, shows how some of that will be introduced to your children. CASEL is the gatekeeper for all SEL programs. In one of CASEL’s videos, you can hear how the trainers ... Read more

America’s Top Cop, Attorney General Merrick “Thank God He’s Not on the Supreme Court” Garland, made a significant error in his appointment of Jack Smith as Special prosecutor, according to Federal Judge Aileen Cannon. He violated the appointments clause, which has hence invalidated the case. Cannon accepted a Trump team motion to Dismiss. This is ... Read more

I spent most of last night, after hearing that Trump was almost assassinated at his PA rally last night, going through all of the Right side of the Blogosphere to gather information. After all, crowdsourcing is what got the ball REALLY rolling (e.g., Remember Dan Rather’s lies over Bush II’s military career only to be ... Read more

Jen Psaki is scared. She’s worried about the post-Trump assassination attempt blamed on a violent left-wing rhetoric narrative. Now that someone has attempted what many Democrats have been implying, inferring, or suggesting, she’s afraid there might be retaliation. Quick reminder, Jen. Who was it that posed with Trump’s severed head after he won in 2016? ... Read more

We are kicking off a new effort to provide information, support, and connections to families who want to explore education options outside of the traditional public school. Our main population is conservative families who are not happy with public schools but who aren’t aware of all their options. Our non-profit organization and website have just ... Read more

The latest iteration of The ‘Grok went live when the Trump assassination attempt story broke, so there was a lot going on while we were working on getting this thing up and running. I was updating both the old and new sites with the Trump story because we’d already moved the data for the live ... Read more

This is one of the basic economic ideas of the Left: reparations and retribution. And they never, EVER care about the results of their policies. Emphasis mine: Doubt me? Just look at the 10s of thousands of fast food workers that have been fired or laid off simply because California Legislators decided that they can jack up “minimum wages” to the point where the businesses can no longer…

I’m sure we can all sit back and relax, knowing they will announce how July 2024 was the hottest on record. I won’t be, but it is good to be prepared, and as a primer, June 2024 was not the hottest June ‘on record’ either. June is a great month. Schools let out, summer’s here, and the weather is getting warmer, but not everywhere, not all the time, and often not as much as they’d like you to…

When a law is necessary to keep an organization’s membership from leaving (e.g., a closed union shop that demands membership before someone can work there), it is ripe for competition. In this case, it was the same SCOTUS decision that made it possible for me NOT to have to join a union Janus v. AFSCME (2018). While that decision was over, having to pay a union for “collective bargaining” (ruling…

The Equity Advisory Group (EAG) to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) heard testimony on July 9th from Richard Giddings of the Department of Children and Families about how the Clean Heat Standard law would impact low-income Vermonters who receive home heating assistance in the winter. The news was not good for LIHEAP (Low Income Heating Assistance Program) participants. A little background…

Barack Obama, having been ordered by George and Alex Soros, sent the memo to the leftist faithful through the mouth of David Axelrod (who looks like Hitler) to always call President Donald Trump a dictator. Any politically astute observer knows this is simply the most recent example of Demolitioncrat projection. The dictator surely is the Biden Administration and its war on conservatives.

Canada wasn’t the first, but they’ve become something of a poster child for Medically induced death. Euphemistically referred to as medical aid in dying (unless it’s capital punishment), rising numbers of Canadians are being lined up at the assisted suicide death mills for discorporation. It is true that some will or are members of the advertised target demographic, but as we’ve noted…

One of the most illustrious signers as far as their personal influence was Oliver Wolcott. The Wolcott family had an impressive pedigree in the old world as well as the new. He descended from a distinguished line of political leaders, attorneys, landholders, judges, and medical doctors. Oliver Wolcott attended Yale University, graduating in 1747, and was at the top of his class.

Everyone keeps looking around wondering how someone can resort to violence in this political culture. Look no further than your local public schools. You may wonder how that can be since schools are focusing on nurturing a child’s social and emotional well being. You’d be lying to yourself. Public schools are breeding activism, and if you tie in the vitriol coming from political pundits…

Joe Biden cranked up the rhetoric. He cannot touch Donald Trump on the policies or results. He has gone personal and is making Donald Trump out to be the greatest threat to Democracy in our history. You told your followers that Donald Trump was someone who needed to be stopped. Those people knew you were not going to be able to beat Trump at the ballot box, so they took it upon themselves to solve…

I realize I wrote about Hakeem Jeffries yesterday, but what he did on Thursday afternoon deserves a rebuttal. How dare this little man from New York have the audacity to disparage half of the country that we are not Conservatives or Republicans, but that we are Extreme MAGA Republicans who presumably cannot think for ourselves. That Donald Trump programs us to speak the party line.
