MACDONALD: Chris Pappas is Fighting “For” Corruption

Since our faux-milquetoast New Hampshire Dems are playing at being moderates, it is worth revisiting the topic. How do you pretend to go to DC to represent New Hampshire interests when neither of you, Goodlander nor Pappas, is capable of standing up to the radicals who will run your caucus? The nut house has fractured. … Read more

KLAR: Becca Balint responds hysterically to Hysterical AI Video

A recent video made with Artificial Intelligence (AI) satirizing Vermont Congresswoman Becca Balint has sparked indignant hostility from the self-styled “Scrappy Little Dyke.”  Vermont’s rabidly left-wing Attorney General Charity Clark applied a sketchy new Vermont law to investigate the video’s creator, prompting a federal lawsuit.  Charity and Becca both care far more about the free … Read more

SMITH: John E Sununu, A Lying Dog-Faced Pony Soldier

MACDONALD: Frikkin Bernie

Comedian Jeff Dunham got a lot of mileage out of portraying his cranky, cantankerous Walter as Joe Biden. He just put aviators on him.

ROPER: Vermont -The Best Place to Live, People Are Fleeing

Does CNBC’s “Best States” ranking make any sense? Yogi Berra famously said of a once favorite Yankees hangout, “Nobody goes there anymore.
