What went wrong for Vermont Republicans? When voters went to the polls this past Tuesday, Vermont Republicans suffered a tremendous defeat in what many are calling the “blue tsunami,” an election that will have major implications for what policies are decided in Montpelier over the next two legislative sessions. It wasn’t just the Statehouse. With ... Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, the who-likes-whom presidential polling is beginning to kick up more serious dust. Fortunes appear to be changing overnight on both sides of the aisle, but none are quite as embarrassing as this. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load.

I must admit that the American citizens who voted for El Sayed, Ro Khanna, and their Demolitioncrat supporters distressed and disappointed me. While midterm elections have historically undermined the Party in Power, that is little consolation when you’re on the losing side. However, the mid-term elections may be a great gift to the United States ... Read more

Democratic challenger Audrey Grant of Hardwick has decided against seeking a recount after losing the Caledonia 2 House District election to incumbent Republican Rep. Michael Southworth of Walden by just eight votes, according to a Nov. 6 report in the Caledonian Record. Southworth received 997 votes to Grant’s 989 in Tuesday’s election. Grant carried Hardwick ...

This week, on GrokTALK!, Democrats made it easy for you to take it all back in 2028, but you have to start planning and acting now. I walk you through it and offer a basic template. Don’t make it easy. Arm yourself and the Republicans we have left with a few simple questions, and just ... Read more

Tuesday was embarrassing, and maybe it’s not your fault. Maybe the message got away from you. Kitchen table. Gas prices. Inflation. You can tell them Dems did it or did it worse, but most people don’t care. Clearly. But the presidential season is upon us, or will be in a hot minute, and you need ... Read more

Look at the map. Just look at it. If you have spent more than five minutes listening to the heartbeat of America—the hum of truck engines, the quiet grit in the grain silos, the packed-to-the-rafters rallies, and the sheer, undeniable pulse of neighborhoods demanding fiscal sanity and secure borders—the results coming out of this midterm ...

Remember Alton’s serial no-show, Rep. Peter Varney?  I wrote about him prior to Veto Day, when he turned his back on his fellow in-district colleague, Barbara Comtois, by blowing it off.  Not only was he absent, which is not uncommon when you hear the usual variety of excuses, but he left her and her slaughterhouse ...

Today, on the Morning Update, Democrats are preparing to waste a significant amount of time and political capital investigating everyone in or adjacent to the Trump Administration – after they defended Biden’s blanket pardons. Trump has made it clear: if Joe can do it, so can he. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the ... Read more

On government in general, and education in particular, too many activists and politicians view efficiency as an enemy. To them, the total budget of any government program is the only measure of how highly it is valued by citizens.  Any effort to restrain the growth of a government program is viewed as an attack on ...

New Hampshire has two openings to improve its workforce this fall.

Chuck Schumer has gone to great lengths to claim the Democrats recruited the highest-quality, most qualified people, which is why they had such success on Tuesday flipping the House and Senate.

No matter how surprised (or not) you were by Tuesday’s ubiquitous train wreck, what’s NOT surprising is Laura Telerski being installed in Rosenwald’s seat, a Senate seat that doesn’t have to answer to any voters outside Nashua.  Higher than local office and state rep, there have been and still are public servants in Nashua that ...

The Democrat brain makes excuses for its contradictions because they pave the path to power. Once you understand that, the nonsense makes sense. Democrats pretend to defend ‘illegals’, ‘migrants’, and minorities while turning their “communities” into drug-infested, baby-daddy war zones flooded with illegal criminal aliens who steal not just their stuff but their government benefits ...

Well, that sucked. Pretty much all the gains Vermont Republicans made in 2024 got flushed down the toilet in 2026. The reason was Donald Trump. Can we finally admit it? The guy is politically undisciplined, thoroughly unlikeable, and a megalomaniacal, narcissistic jerk (for lack of a better word that can be published in family papers), ... Read more

Democrats make crap up, toss it in the media blender, and then spin. Keeping up can be difficult for those of us paying attention.

If Republicans had been successful in holding the House and Senate, they would have defied a historical trend. Only a handful of times has a sitting President retained the advantage of a Congressional majority at the midterms, with the last being George Bush in 2002.
