One of the Democrats’ hostage demands is the repeal of fifty billion earmarked for improving rural healthcare. For all their focus on this stand being about healthcare, the media should be asking a lot more questions about why they oppose this. The Big Beautiful bill cut funding for non-citizens and added funding to improve care ... Read more

Americans are used to a fast pace. We are basically an impatient breed and expect instantaneous results from a plan, or think the effort is a failure. Look at inflation as an example. It took Biden a couple of years to drive the overall cost of living to historic highs, yet Trump was deemed a ... Read more

Watching Vermont spiral in the blue toilet water is not enjoyable. Sure, it is a TRE, and when the legislature is in session, we get a lot of low-hanging fruit. It is sad to observe the real-time decline and fall of a state founded by a rebel militia that fought against big government tyranny. Vermont ... Read more

Do schools have a right or an obligation to control a particular narrative on school grounds? Can they control what messages everyone can express on campus? What if it hurts someone’s feelings? What if it makes them uncomfortable? How much responsibility does the school have in controlling a particular message? What if the message is ... Read more

Losing high-profile elections that mean almost nothing to me is a gift. Low-hanging fruit for left-wing dummies who grasp at it in desperation, only to discover it’s rotten. Every Democrat who won last Tuesday is a poster child for why Donald Trump won last November. They got a Jew-Hating Islamist Marxist who peddled every utopian ... Read more

The Constitution of the United States is one of the most glorious documents promoting individual liberty ever written. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is also the first section of the Bill of Rights. It is arguably the most important part of the U.S. Constitution.

For many people considering treatment for substance use disorders, the idea of using medication as part of recovery can feel confusing or even contradictory. Questions arise: Isn’t the goal to get off all substances? Doesn’t using medication mean you’re just replacing one drug with another? These concerns are understandable, but they’re often rooted in outdated ... Read more

While Jay Ruais and the uniparty establishment elite are still reveling in his recent reelection, I’m here to rain on his parade because he’s clearly a captain who’s not a team player.  He sabotaged “Team Red” in Manchester, and that cost his city their best alderman and their Ward 1 seat.  There’s plenty of “Picklegate” ...

After some long and hard thought, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the US Senate needs to suspend the filibuster until after the 2026 election, and then reestablish it as the last action before the Senate adjourns for this session. It took me several days and several discussions with others whom I respect ... Read more

Senate Republicans could end the Democrat shutdown today if they dump the filibuster and pass the Continuing CR. I get that many, including ‘Grok contributors, think that’s a bad idea, but I’ve got something of a Steve Bannon approach to this.
