I was recently interviewed by Michael Nevradakis of Children’s Health Defense. Michael asked me some very tough questions (that I provided to him beforehand!) about the Vermont Supreme Court’s recent Politella decision, which held that Vermont parents of a six-year-old boy had no legal rights when their son was administered an experimental COVID-19 vaccine despite … Read more
Among the odd exchanges between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris at their first and perhaps only debate before Election Day was a dispute over who would better protect Americans from the growing scourge of illegal substances, especially fentanyl.

The vaccine wars unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic have not been limited to disputes about science, such as vaccine efficacy or safety. Uncharted constitutional waters shape differing views of individual liberties in state and federal courts as clashes over vaccine mandates, especially for young schoolchildren, are taking center stage. Parents of public school kids are … Read more
Food prices are climbing, but soon will soar — inflation is ensured due to recent massive spending. As Americans are pushed to consume artificial meat as a solution to the alleged environmental impact of cow farts, the government seeks to expand its techno-monitoring, in the name of “health and safety,” by requiring the RFID chipping of all livestock. The argument is … Read more
A young South Dakota ranching couple has been criminally charged with allegedly stealing federal government property – by maintaining a fence erected by the family some 75 years ago. Charles and Heather Maude, responding to claims from the National Forest Service that their ranch interferes with federal grasslands, requested a land survey to clarify legal … Read more
Human dreams of predicting the future have a special playground in forecasts of market prices. Whether the market is tulips, pork bellies, stocks, real estate, or cryptocurrency, the urge to know the future direction of the economy is as ancient as bartering. A question facing Americans in 2024 is whether that desire to influence the … Read more

ABC News, a subsidiary of Disney Entertainment, will host the upcoming presidential debate even though Kamala Harris’ close friend and ally Dana Walden is its co-chair. The network has dismissed concerns about the conflict despite also being the subject of an ongoing defamation lawsuit by Harris’ opponent, Donald Trump. Public trust in mainstream US media … Read more
Improvements in agriculture have economically and culturally nurtured some of the greatest leaps in human advancement: many of those have related to crop fertilizers, which humanity has long known improve crop yields by nurturing soils. It is vitally important to understand the central role of soil health in human well-being, for both the soil and … Read more
The Vermont Supreme Court has doubled down on its recent decision denying Vermont parents and their children basic constitutional safeguards against unauthorized government infliction of an experimental vaccine on a young public school child. After an ill-considered opinion that shielded schools and vaccines from all state law claims for administering an experimental vaccine to a … Read more
A controversial Vermont Supreme Court decision reached the rather astonishing conclusion that the government can vaccinate very young children with experimental products without parental consent or legal recourse. The ruling is surreal in a state that claims it prizes individual liberties. If not overturned by sane minds in the US Supreme Court, the consequences of … Read more
One of the companies alleged to have influenced the 2020 national election using money contributed by Mark Zuckerberg (aka “Zuck Bucks”) has announced another round of grants for 2024. The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) claims its mission is to “increase civic participation,” yet critics claim the organization is partisan and should not … Read more
A new study shows just how damaging major lithium mining operations can be. Tales of horrid working conditions and child labor have already crowded global headlines, along with stories highlighting the massive amounts of fossil fuels and equipment needed to acquire enough lithium to feed the ever-growing EV battery industry.

San Francisco has deteriorated steadily under progressive policies that have seeded overdoses, homelessness, an exponential increase in crime, and plummeting housing prices. In the midst of San Fran’s Mad Max despair, innovator Zoox is planning to launch a fleet of shiny EV robotaxis to ferry citizens around the City by the Bay. The contrast between urban decay … Read more
I am endorsing John Rodgers in the Vermont Republican Primary to be Vermont’s next Lieutenant Governor. I do not generally endorse candidates in primaries, because I believe people should be encouraged to run and the Party should avoid internal conflict where possible. Indeed, Greg Thayer asked me earlier in this election cycle to endorse him … Read more
As the site of the Summer Olympics, Paris naturally continues to espouse the climate change policies espoused in the Paris Accords. As such, the city has set a goal of zero-use plastic and banned single-use plastic bottles from the Olympic Games Paris 2024. Revelations that Coca-Cola has been exempted from this stricture and that some … Read more
The slander of cows for their existential threat to humanity has focused on methane emissions, which allegedly warm the planet unsustainably. This dubious claim is premised on the sketchy logic that methane production negates any beneficial bovine ecological impacts (especially of urine and manure) and ignores the effects on the environment and food system if … Read more
The defamation suit that Nina Jankowicz – the former director of the Department of Homeland Security’s disinformation board (since closed) – filed against Fox News was dismissed in Delaware on July 22.
