Not So Safe State

The day after the Burlington Free Press published its Safest State story about Vermont, the UK Daily Mail dropped a bomb on Burlington: “The idyllic northeastern state being ravaged by drugs, crime, and homelessness: ‘People don’t feel safe.‘“  I missed it when writing about the former, though I did point out the latter. We’ve been observing the … Read more

Carol McGuire: Your State House

This week, my committee continued with public hearings.

One of the “Safest*” Democrat Run Cities in America Passes 500 Murders for 2022

In Progressive mythology, gun control does not mean a tight grouping on the target; it means disarming law-abiding citizens. A corollary to that is making it as difficult or expensive as possible for those who insist on protecting themselves. The stated goal is public safety but the reality is the inverse.

Nanny State rides again thanks to NH State Rep Skip Cleaver

Another one of these “Safety & Security vs Freedom” issues and we generally know where Democrats fall on that phrase (although the result might be a bit surprising).
