Today, on the Morning Update, I’ve said it more than once and offered plenty of examples. Democrats destroy everything they touch.

This week, on GrokTALK! we take a walk down conversion therapy lane: laws that were passed whose language tells you everything you need to know about Democrats, what they want, how they rule, and what happens when you don’t toe the big blue line. “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of ...

I want to preface my comments today by saying I am not in favor of singling out specific groups of people for recognition, such as Black History Month or Indigenous Peoples’ Day. I am not in favor of politicians addressing a targeted group, like Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. I despise the word, but I ... Read more

The expression “fight for your rights” is usually associated with socialism. Socialists and statists fought—and still fight—for positive rights, as in FDR’s famous “freedom from want,” which suggests that the people have the right to receive from the state the material conditions necessary for an arbitrarily defined “dignified” life, such as housing, healthcare, education, pension, and various ...
