Buses built by Lion Electric are bursting into flames across the fruited plains. The fires have prompted a local transportation company providing bus service to a Vermont school district to discontinue use. After reported fires in Lion Electric buses across the country, Student Transportation of Vermont removed Barre Town’s buses for safety precautions. They reached … Read more
Narrative battle lines are being drawn as the improbability of the Joe Biden presidency crashes headlong into the improbability that Joe’s Stage 4 Prostate Cancer “emerged” in the last three months. Let’s get this over with: To anyone on the left calling for us to forget about Joe’s missing marbles, or the massive, RICO-quality, Democrat … Read more
Where’s The Liberty In That? If you want to start a fight online in the Granite State, and probably your state too, pick a side on the so-called housing-crisis debate. It might be worse than mentioning abortion at whatever passes for your watercooler. Numerous factors have made housing expensive. Some say there is an inventory … Read more
A reader brought this to my attention: Christopher Helali is an openly communist public official in Orange County, Vermont. Not so surprising, as this is Vermont. Burlington, for example, has two-party elections. Left, and further Left. Democrats and Socialsits. No one else need bother to run, there’s no point, and the effect it has had … Read more
The UK’s Royal College of Psychiatrists (RC Psych) has taken an unusual position on an Assisted Dying Bill before parliament. Unlike many in the US and Canada, the RC Psych has chosen to be cautiously neutral while disagreeing with politicians and advocates that this is the ultimate expression of empathy. When people are miserable, particularly … Read more
Now that he is running for the US Senate, a position for which it is difficult to unseat even the most despicable liberal scold, Chris Pappas, has invited more scrutiny. As a member of Congress, he can and has done plenty of damage, but the size of the US House dilutes the potential harm. He’d … Read more
New Hampshire is the only state in the Northeast other than Maine that is NOT a Sanctuary State, but it did not strictly prohibit towns or cities from pretending they were. This amounted to local political pressure to dissuade peace officers from assisting federal immigration enforcement, particularly with detention retainers. In practice, this produces two … Read more
Maybe. HB231, prohibits “school district personnel from transporting students to medical or mental health appointments, visits, or procedures without parental consent.” Governor Ayotte signed the bill into law, requiring school districts to adopt policies, so yes, it is law, but what exactly are the consequences? This bill requires school districts to create a policy prohibiting … Read more
Thankfully, there will never come a time when Democrats or their media homonculi are capable of holding their tongues when Donald Trump speaks. So incapable are they that memes pop up regularly suggesting that if Donald Trump supported something Democrats have long insisted was their issue, they’d reject it ‘cuz Trump. I won’t challenge the … Read more
I just received this today, so apologies for the short notice. That’s all I have, sorry – and there are no additional details on the website. 4pm. UNH Law in Concord.
Vermont has passed a law that allows the state attorney general to fine pregnancy care centers up to $10,000.00 for “advertising” the AG deems misleading. That’s the intent. Pro-Abortion Democrats passed a muzzle bill in 2023 to intimidate pregnancy care centers to the benefit of abortion clinics, but it didn’t work. Not exactly. It was … Read more
Leave it to an American Pontif to tell the assembled members of world media that free speech and a free press are not just essential but that it “does not seek consensus at all costs, does not use aggressive words, does not follow the culture of competition, and never separates the search for truth from … Read more
No Proglodyte resume is complete without at least one arrest. Deranged Tesla-defacing felons are proud bearers of this distinction, but that fad has lost its shine. The latest thing is ICE officers and immigration deportation. That Mayor in New Jersey got himself a date with a judge, and that judge in Milwaukee’s weepy arrest photo … Read more
Six years ago, in Massachusetts, Newton District Judge Shelley M. Joseph knowingly helped an illegal criminal alien escape ICE by escorting him through her chambers and out the Jury door. She turned herself in and was indicted on four charges but managed to slow-walk her way to a dismissal by the then-Biden DOJ in 2022. … Read more
If Sandy Cortez had a penis, she’d be David Hogg. He is an obnoxious, far-left, neo-Marxist, and so is she. They appeal to the disenfranchised ‘utes’ who were “graduated” despite being unable to read or do math at grade level, while reminding senior socialists of an image they can claim for themselves in moments of … Read more
Lest anyone begin to imagine a world where having more Democrats in elected office might be different, which implies better, think again. Then think some more because the political left doesn’t want “better.” Not for you. No finer example comes to us in a recent uptick in earnings and foot traffic at Target. The retailer … Read more
There are few more enthusiastic boosters for all the great things about New Hampshire than me. I share the data, polls, research, results, and whatever the mighty beast of the internet coughs up. I moved here from someplace else 35 years ago and have been a superfan ever since. As a superfan, I have also … Read more
Sandy ‘Gulf Stream’ Cortez is going to have to up her game. I know, the Jet Setting Neiman Marxist, birth mother of the economy-crushing Green New Deal, is emitting tons of unnecessary carbon to fight our oligarchs in front of crowds paid for by hers. The handmaiden media loves it. And she’s always been something … Read more
Vermont’s population declined by 0.03 percent between 2023 and 2024. That’s 215 fewer people. About the same number of homeless people that were reported added in New Hampshire in the same period – an anecdotal observation with no connection, but a reader saw the decline on the Vermont side and wondered if it might be … Read more
It is an inconvenient fact that to be a transgirl you have to be a boy. It is also true that if boys who identify as girls can play sports against girls, they can also play sports against boys. The conundrum for the gender bending wizards leading the culture war is why it’s okay to … Read more
