Americans love their hamburgers as much as buffalo wings and fried eggs, and all three are increasing in price. Mainstream media headlines suggest President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs could increase food inflation, and critics started blaming him for high egg prices within hours after his swearing in. It appears many would be apoplectic if Trump … Read more
In a March 4, 2025, decision (Jeremiah Hogan et al. v. Lincoln Medical Partners et al.), the Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled that staff who administered a Covid-19 vaccination to a minor child without parental consent were immune from state causes of action for battery and negligence under the federal Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness … Read more
Closing the revolving regulatory door on Big Pharma “family” user fees. Americans have become more distrustful of federal agencies in recent years, including “vaccine hesitancy” because of alleged misinformation about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has criticized HHS and other federal agencies for “regulatory capture” by corporate interests that … Read more
The federal deficit now exceeds $36 trillion, aggravated by the Inflation Reduction Act (which Joe Biden has boasted was really about boosting renewable energy production, not reducing inflation) and his Build Back Better spending spree. President Donald Trump is trying to undo some of the economic damage wrought by the previous administration, but high deficits … Read more
In 2016, our Irasburg farm was visited by a Vermont Agency of Agriculture agent who informed me it was illegal for me to sell halves of beef. I decided to fight what was obviously an unconstitutional attempt to restrict small farms from centuries of practice, in ways that would hurt our businesses (especially on-farm slaughterers and custom … Read more
Concurrently with the development of a global consortium of corporations targeting population growth through food supplies, parallel UN and other conferences and organizations have advocated for increased public land ownership as a necessary precursor to preventing climate change, famine, biodiversity loss, etc. The reverberations of Kissinger’s creepy 1974 Population Report are visible in the UN’s … Read more
For years now, Vermont’s public schools have been used as an experimental testing ground for the indoctrination of children with “theories” that eclipsed learning of core learning in math, reading, writing, and other subjects. Queer theory, race theory, Social Emotional Learning, and other speculative (partisan) policies were launched against Vermont’s children by school administrations unaccountable … Read more
As progressive lawmakers around the nation violate fundamental principles of the rule of law, We the People increasingly are rising up to override lawlessness in an effort to reclaim normalcy. Such is the case in Maine, where a petition seeking a ballot proposal requiring a photo ID requirement for voting has gathered momentum. Voter ID … Read more
The WEF does not confine itself to transforming agricultural production by allowing corporate profiteers to feast at the trough of innovations, technologies, data-driven tracking, AI, and other chemical-churning initiatives to counter the carbon dioxide culprit: it has an urgent plan to transform what people eat. Unsurprisingly, the WEF focuses on climate, equity, and gender as … Read more
AND Control the Cures for the Diseases it Seeds! As I have explained previously, the corporations seated at the WEF table seek to control all food production. Chemical manufacturer BASF claims its products are now “sustainable,” and that its technologies can be used to improve the world by tracking products throughout their manufacture and useful … Read more
A recent J.P. Morgan Report that undocumented immigrants may be ramping up US housing demand dovetails ironically with claims in “sanctuary states” that more illegal immigrants are necessary to construct more houses. This dragon-eating-its-tail spiral of higher living costs is particularly evident in rural Vermont, which faces one of the nation’s toughest housing crunches even as progressives … Read more
Controversy over efforts to reduce fraud in the federal government roils daily headlines: the latest kerfuffle concerns lay-offs of “Epidemic Intelligence Service officers,” or “disease detectives,” as the EIS calls them on its website. The firings followed Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s HHS Secretary confirmation by mere hours, leading some Americans to howl foul while the … Read more
A recent essay titled “The Real Purpose of Net Zero” by Jefferey Jaxon posited that Europe’s current war against farmers in the name of preventing climate change is ultimately designed to inflict famine. Jaxon is not speculating on globalist motives; he is warning humanity of a rapidly unfolding reality that is observable in the perverse lies against cows, denigration … Read more
If Americans are ever to be healthy again, an effective response to ubiquitous microplastics will be essential. Recent confirmation hearings of the MAHA maven Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. focused on his supposed vaccine and abortion positions while mainly ignoring his opening statement centered on American diets. Industrially-backed officials may thrust their ostrich heads in the … Read more
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’s comical display over babies’ “onesies” during Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s Senate confirmation hearing for HHS Secretary was an attempted assault on the right to free speech. The speech policing of the Biden administration is not yet in the rearview mirror: it was on full display when Sanders demanded Kennedy curtail the … Read more
The WEF has picked up the UN globalization batons and populated the stakeholder table not with “member nations” but “partner corporations” to affect its hellish hierarchy, aping population growth fears and targeting food as “currently responsible for up to one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions, 70% of all freshwater withdrawals, and … the main driver … Read more
Progressives create government task force to protect illegals and expose citizens to risks. President Donald Trump has not announced any plans to deport foreigners who are legally in the US. Rather, he’s focusing federal resources solely on protecting Americans from violent offenders. Still, progressive ideologues across the nation have rallied to “protect” people illegally in … Read more
President Donald Trump let fly a flurry of executive orders in his first week as president. Among those was a reaffirmation of the US Constitution’s First Amendment prohibitions against government regulation of Americans’ liberties to speak and communicate free of government censorship. Volumes of evidence now point to blatant violations of this vital constitutional restraint … Read more
The totalitarian possibilities of the UN/WEF cabal of multinational “stakeholders” (who seek to own all the world’s steak) is neither the Left- nor the Right-wing, displaying more of a chimera displaying slogans common to both. Kissinger’s proposal in his 1974 Kissinger Report to control human population growth for “national security” and industrial protectionism was couched in glowing … Read more
Popular food chain Steak ‘n Shake is stirring the MAHA pot by switching cooking oils from vegetable to animal, as in tallow. However, the transition away from trans-fats has nothing to do with transgenderism or the Trump transition – it has to do with “real science” and overwhelming customer preferences for healthier dining choices, even … Read more
