What if Parents ask Gun-Related Questions, Comrade Mrs Newman?
My reps and two-time opponents, Comrades Mr & Mrs Newman, have a history of ignoring emails. Normally, I don’t email them, but my personal email history with them started in October 2021 following the executive council arrests. With them and the Damn Emperor being on opposite sides of the aisle (on paper, at least), I mistakenly thought conversation could be had about that incident.
How Maine Gun Laws Help New Hampshire: Kittery Trading Post Threatens to Move All Firearms Sales to Granite State
If you missed it, mostly-rural-Maine has succumbed to the electoral weight of its cities and Left a majority of Democrats running the political store. They assume this means they should advance every nutty progressive thing in case the people come ot their senses. And so they have, no matter what the cost.
White Mountains: Let Campers Camp!
I am writing to complain about the restrictive laws which only serve to decrease our recreational use of our parklands. The USDA has enacted laws (ostensibly) to reduce the impact of campers on some (most) areas in the White Mountain Nation Forest.

Night Cap: Food, Famine, Fear: Beware the Great Agricultural Reset
Americans awakening to the Orwellian Rule of Joe Biden and his crew of thieves have noticed that the perpetual lying is designed to inculcate pliancy through fear. When the COVID-19 hysteria began to wane, Big Brother Biden switched gears to the Ukraine crisis.
How EU Law Has Made the Internet Less Free for Everyone Else
If you have been using the internet for longer than a couple of years, you might have noticed that it used to be much “freer.” What freer means in this context is that there was less censorship and less stringent rules regarding copyright violations on social media websites such as YouTube and Facebook (and consequently a wider array of content).
Trump Was Right — The EV ‘Bloodbath’ Is Already Here
Ever since March 16, when presidential candidate Donald Trump created a controversy by predicting President Joe Biden’s efforts to force Americans to convert their lives to electric-vehicle (EV) lifestyles would end in a “bloodbath” for the U.S. auto industry, the industry’s own disastrous results have consistently proven him accurate.
A Modest Proposal for the Homeless Hotel Debacle
It seems like we are enduring a constant kerfuffle over whether or not to extend the now-ended federally funded COVID-emergency “hotels for homeless” program with state tax dollars. Lots of them. Twenty million here, thirty million there….

Night Cap: Howard Dean Might Be Running for Governor of Vermont Again
Once Upon a Time, Howard Dean was the governor of Vermont. He ran for president a few cycles back (2004) and was doing well until the infamous scream in Iowa. The young folks loved him, but it flattened his curve, and John Kerry went on to win the party nomination. Dean’s not been idle but hasn’t run for elective office since.
ICYMI – Is Grooming Children for Gender Change (Behind Parents’ Backs) The Crime of the Century?
Over the last year, Vermont’s school board disputes have revealed the same pattern of a unilateral ideology dominating school boards and attacking anyone who dares differ with the cultish frenzy of agitation behind “woke” CRT and transgender activists who have infested government and public schools.
More Undisclosed Conflicts of Interest in NH YDC Cases?
David Vicinanzo and Nixon Peabody have been out soliciting clients for the YDC cases for several years. He never mentioned that his son, Matthew Vicinanzo, clerked for Jeffrey Howard on the First Circuit, who was AG of NH during the time when David Meehan and others were being abused at YDC.
Property ‘Tax Relief’ Means Property Taxes Will Go Up But Less Than They’d Like
Democrats in Vermont are like Democrats in New Hampshire, New York, California, and the District of Catastrophe (DC). There’s no such thing as too much spending or too much taxation but for sh! ts and giggles, they like to call it things like tax relief. As in, we’d like to relieve you of more of your income with more taxes.
More Independent Schools and More Choice Are the Property Tax Solution
Vermont taxpayers are desperate for relief, especially in regard to funding public education. The only way to provide that relief is to return spending levels on Pre-K to 12th to something resembling normal pre-Covid levels.
Your State House – 4/28/24
This week, my committee met twice on Senate bills. Tuesday we voted on six of them. SB 439, prohibiting boycotts of Israel in state procurement, was the most divisive. I moved to kill the bill, since the committee has long opposed using the state procurement system to make political statements.
Night Cap: Electoral Compact or Horrific Progressive Power Grab?
Maine just became the 17th state in the nation to sign onto an electoral compact to reward the national popular vote leader, leaving Maine, New Hampshire and many other smaller states at the mercy (or lack thereof) of big blue states like California and New York.
