Morning Update: Bank Fraud

38 min 47 sec ago

Today on the Morning Update, the SPLC interim Grand Poobah had to defend his organization before Congress, and while it’s galling that the SPLC funded hate and profited from that, and put groups like Moms for Liberty on the Hate Map, it’s not what they did, but how they did it. Watch on the ‘Grok ... Read more

KLAR: Moral Decline in America?

2 hours 38 min ago

In the midst of unprecedented national division, Republicans and Democrats have apparently found something upon which they agree: that US moral values are “poor.” A May 1-17 Gallup survey offered a sobering assessment of Americans’ negative views of their country’s moral trajectory. For Better or Worse Gallup reported a 12-percentage-point increase (to 56%) from last ... Read more

SMITH: Community Power? Think Twice

9 hours 38 min ago

There has been plenty of discussion at multiple levels of government and among ordinary commoners about the subject of energy.  Also, there’s an abundance of subject material on the internet, but amid all that chatter, I ran into this WMUR short video discussing Community Power(CP), something I’ve written about before.  After watching it, I noticed ...

MACDONALD: White Egg Supremacists

Wed, 2026-06-10 21:00 +0000

Breaking news. A UK Supermarket chain is racist. Yes. Sainsbury’s, a dominant retail outfit in the UK that runs just under 1,500 locations (plus a few hundred others under different names), is banning brown eggs. All I can think to say is White Egg Supremacy. What’s next, swastikas and goose-stepping? Maybe. Their stated rationale for ... Read more

CARDELLO: Dialog has been Replaced with Hatred

Wed, 2026-06-10 18:00 +0000

I have been writing a daily political opinion article for over 5 years, nearly 2,000 consecutive days, and I have received a fair share of criticism. I can handle criticism, as that is what fuels conversation and debate. I have said from my first article that my purpose was not to profess I had all ... Read more

JANZ: It’s Just a Movie, Folks

Wed, 2026-06-10 14:00 +0000

Spielberg is releasing yet another movie about psychic phenomena that may be caused by, or are a result of… aliens. This is not his first foray into the genre. His famous two movies, “ET The Extra-Terrestrial” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” previously explored the possibility of aliens, either among us or visiting us. ... Read more

Morning Update: Dems See Iran as a Threat?

Wed, 2026-06-10 11:00 +0000

Today, on your Morning Update, the Iran thing is a thing that, like most things, would shrink onto the back burner but for the obvious rise in gas prices. So, what do people think about Iran despite that issue? Gallup polled some folks, and the results were surprising. 00:00 Iran as a Threat to Stability01:45 ... Read more

ROPER: Want to Save Rural Schools? Go Independent

Wed, 2026-06-10 09:00 +0000

In the wake of Act 73/H.955 education “reform” and the emphasis on consolidation, there has been considerable worry in rural Vermont about what this means for their small, local schools. For many, it will mean closure. A recent op-ed by Nina Antin notes, “When Sen. Ruth Hardy, D-Addison, presented H.955 on the Vermont Senate floor, ... Read more

CLINE: Tax Cuts for The Long Run

Wed, 2026-06-10 02:00 +0000

As the 2026 legislative session wound down, it looked as though Republicans wouldn’t be able to agree on one of the party’s signature issues: cutting business taxes. During committee of conference negotiations last week, word spread (and was even reported in the news) that a House-passed Business Enterprise Tax cut was dead.  House and Senate ... Read more

MACDONALD: Dems Suddenly Love Toxic Masculinity?

Wed, 2026-06-10 00:00 +0000

Democrats hate women. I’ve written quite a lot about that. Much the way they hate minorities- I mean, look what they did to them? From one plantation to another and trapping them on the public dole is hardly compensation for wrecking their families, killing their babies (abortion, drugs, crime), while framing even a basic education ...

CARDELLO: Democrats and Their Abstract Media “Art”

Tue, 2026-06-09 21:00 +0000

If you listen to the words of Democrats, you would think they all still dress in the garb they wore the day ‘we’ signed the Declaration of Independence. You would think they not only read and understood the Constitution, but also sat with James Madison and contributed to its writing. Their actions, however, are quite ... Read more

RAM: Wolves, Sheep and Sheep Dogs

Tue, 2026-06-09 18:00 +0000

The “wolf, sheep, and sheepdog” analogy was popularized by military psychologist Lt. Col. Dave Grossman in his book “On Combat” and was brought to the mainstream in the film “American Sniper.” The concept divides the human population into three distinct archetypes based on their relationship to violence and their capacity to act as protectors. The ... Read more

MACDONALD: If You Vote Democrat, You Asked For This

Tue, 2026-06-09 16:00 +0000

Seattle, the city, has become a crazy homeless person. I know, Seattle, again, yes. Every poster child for democrat rule needs to have its dirty laundry aired so the so-called middle, filled with moderate, independent voters, understands. There’s no coming back from what Democrats will do and ignore what they say because there are numerous ... Read more

Author: (laughing as Claude is getting settled into the booth) Hey, buddy! You’re late today! What were you up to, huh?

Morning Update: Buh Bye Spy?

Tue, 2026-06-09 11:00 +0000

Today, on the Morning Update, are we looking at more 4D chess? FISA Section 702, which was used to spy on Trump’s campaign as part of the fake Steele Dossier and RussiaGate treason, expires on June 12th. Democrats and RINOs in the Senate refused to reauthorize it over this. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel ... Read more

PAYNE: The Greatest Independence Day Gift

On January 7, President Trump issued a memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies ordering them to withdraw from using public funds that support international organizations with interests contrary to the U.S. ( 31 UN entities). This appears to be a great birthday gift for America’s 250th anniversary;  a serious effort to put ... Read more

OPINION: The 100 Year Islamic Plan Of Conquest

Tue, 2026-06-09 02:00 +0000

In 1982, a rare Muslim Brotherhood document called “The Project” first appeared, outlining a long-term strategic plan for “civilization jihad” or “Islamization” of Western societies. This strategy did not involve violence but rather both mass migration and infiltration of all institutions in order to subvert democratic systems from within, exploiting their generosity, tolerance, and naivety. ...

GrokTALK!: ICYMI – Free Speech and Self-Censorship

This week, on GrokTALK!, let’s revisit the decline of free speech in western Democracies with a focus on the latest nonsense in the not-so-United Kingdom. Lessons we need to learn, and things we must watch out for, because globalist progressives all want the same thing, and that’s to find ways to get people to self-censor. ... Read more
