After Years of Making Medical Care Cost More VT Legislators Pretend More Meddling Will Lower Costs
The government injecting itself into the health care system or getting between doctors, insurers, and patients has been driving up the cost of care for decades. The knee-jerk response to complaints about the cost of health care is to meddle some more, resulting in more expensive health care.
YOU, Property Taxpayer, are the (Library’s) CUSTOMER
I was thinking some more about HB 1308, Arlene’s bill for parental access to library records, and thought about an old Ian Underwood article that should be in the Grok archives and found in a search.
Op-Ed: House Leadership?
Despite prompting from House Rs, the leadership refused to reconsider HB1212, which Republicans won and had ITL’d. That was the first of a waterfall of mistakes that cost big losses in the House for conservatives, solely due to inadequate House leadership.
Night Cap: NYC Has F***** Itself With 350 Million Dollar Trump Ruling
The Machine Media is so busy engaging in a post-Trump 350+ Million dollar decision circle jerk they seem to have missed who got screwed. Donald Trump is going to appeal and win. It won’t even be close. The city used a political vendetta to attack a developer and was deliberately a public takedown.
50/50 Balls and Transgender Sports
IN EARLY 2021, our New Hampshire House Education Committee held a hearing on a transgender sports measure. I had serious concerns about biological (XY chromosome) boys playing contact sports against biological (XX chromosome) girls but naturally wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts.
Another Day … Another Assault On Democracy In New Hampshire… And Yet More Denial By The NHGOP
In terms of judicial activism, New York’s infamous Judge Engoron has got nothing on New Hampshire’s Judge Ruoff. Engoron has abused his position as a judge in order to destroy one man … Donald Trump. Ruoff has abused his position as a judge in order to destroy democracy in New Hampshire.

Senator Sharon Carson is the state senator for the Republican towns of Auburn, Hudson, and Londonderry, New Hampshire and she is the prime sponsor for bill SB422 which would remove the words “mother” and “father” from birth records and replace them with “birth parent” and “non-birth parent.”
Local Government vs. Property Rights and Religious Liberty
Weare, New Hampshire, an allegedly Republican and pro-liberty bastion, has been putting a local pastor through the bureaucratic meat grinder for daring to hold religious services in his barn.

Meme Overflow
As promised in Monday Memes, I have an overflow. My meme cup runneth over. And yes there will be a Friday edition too.
Is Citizenship A Thing Of The Past
When I was a school-age child in the sixties, patriotism had a massive influence on our lives—our day started with the Pledge of Allegiance and the Our Father. We will talk about the former today and leave the Our Father for another day. There was no question about participation. Only Jewish kids were allowed to pass on the prayer.
Urgent Call to Action: Oppose HB1050-FN
HB1050-FN, which claims to wish to establish a voluntary waiver of the right to purchase firearms, is up for a floor vote this Thursday and needs your immediate attention.

Lakewood Shooter Was An El Salvadoran Non-Citizen … Who Voted in the 2020 US Election
Genesse Ivonne Moreno was an El Salvadoan “immigrant” with a history of criminal conduct known to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A woman (pretending to be a man named Jeffrey Moreno) who tried to shoot up a church in Austin, Texas, has since been described by authorities as … white.
Has Mitch McConnell Massed Up Kelly Ayotte’s NH Gubernatorial Bid?
First, in case you have not been paying attention, Mitch McConnell and his allies backed the so-called “bipartisan” border bill NOT to secure the border (which it did not), but to take the issue away from Donald Trump and Republicans who support Trump.
Night Cap: School Board Member Busted for Racist Obnoxious Posts … Resigns (But It’s Not His Fault)
Northwood School Board Member Gary Caron has some interesting social media posts. We published some of them yesterday in advance of a meeting on that content scheduled for Wednesday. Rather than face the public and defend his exercise(s) of free speech in person, Gary has decided to resign.
The New Hampshire House Is A National Laughingstock
So the New Hampshire House’s ludicrous “debate” over sexually explicit materials in middle school libraries went “viral” … and deservedly so. For example, Libs of TikTok is an X (Twitter) account with 2.8 million followers. See the post below. My comments follow.
The Northern Border Crossing Crisis
The Southern border is where most of the action is, but the Swanton Sector (NY, VT, NH) has seen a 240% spike in illegal crossings. None of them Canadians (who increasingly have good reason to escape the wrath of Trudeau). A border problem a local hunter discovered and captured on his game cam.
