Biden Winning in 2024 is More Urgent Than … Climate Change.
After investing billions of taxpayer dollars in electric vehicles (EVs), the Biden administration is making a sharp dogleg on ambitious targets for implementation. In an effort to court United Auto Workers (UAW) ahead of the 2024 election, President Joe Biden is now seeking a bevy of delays in his climate change plans.
Vote No On Taxpayer Funded Church Bailout [Update!]
The Northwood Congregational Church has been reduced to a handful of leftist activists in their congregation due to their own actions. The church is in financial chaos because they went woke and now they are going broke. They are so woke that woke “Wake Up Wednesdays” are a weekly event where the church’s “Racial Justice Team” stands outside the church holding BLM signs.
How a ’70s Punk Rock Band Predicted Modern America

Vermont Must Cap Individual Property Tax Increases
The massive property tax increase coming our way as the result of an education funding system gone out of wildly control poses the very real threat of forcing some – perhaps many – Vermonters out of their homes. It will certainly cause painful choices for household budgets, making it even harder make ends meet in the Green Mountain State.
“Apple’s Journal App Probably Isn’t a Privacy Nightmare” – But the Tech Certainly Is!
Your iPhone, Android, Tablet, Car, smart TV, or any other “Smart” device has huge vulnerabilities. Your phone is not the place to store private information, and if you think you are not being tracked by your phone, tablet, smartwatch, or even your car, you are sadly mistaken.

Last spring, it looked like the Clean Heat Standard (S.5/Act 18) was headed for a second successful veto by Governor Scott when Senator Jane Kitchel (D-Caledonia) rescued the “Rube Goldberg” carbon tax on home heating fuels from the abyss by inserting a so-called “check back” clause into the bill.
As 16 and 17-Year-Olds Get Ready to Vote in Brattleboro … Why Doesn’t That Violate the State Constitution?
One thing you can say about the left is that they do not squander their majorities with concerns about how the electorate (or their respective bureaucratic states) will view their priorities. They just do it.
The Democrat’s Three Stooges
The Democrat Party has selected three spokespeople to focus their message and stay consistent. I realize the Democrat bench is not well stocked with political talent, but to choose Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Deborah Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), and Jamie Raskin (D-MD) is tantamount to a bad joke or SNL skit.

My name is Wesley Smallidge and I am running for the school board in the governor Wentworth regional school district because we need to do better. As a Kingswood graduate and lifelong Wolfeboro resident, I am concerned about what I see happening with our schools. We need to do better as a community because our children are falling behind academically.
Night Cap: Londonderry, Where Some Political “Ads” Are More ‘Equal’ Than Others
Londonderry has become a land where the people in power know better, whine if you challenge them or call them out, and then – get a load of this – are indifferent to the laws used to go after the outspoken few.
Burlington Crime Up 23% This Year
The February Burlington Police Chief’s Report is out, and though only two months into the year already, the data is continuing to trend upward.

Super Tuesday: Trump Wins Everything … Except Vermont [Haley Drops Out]
After Super Tuesday, we can see why Vermont may never be a Red State again. Half of Vermont Republicans think Nikki Haley is what America needs, and 1.4% chose Chris Christie. The other Northeast Super Tuesday states went for Trump, as did every other state that voted yesterday.
Democrats Take A 9-0 Smackdown
The Biden Campaign has been very slow out of the gate as they appear to be patiently waiting for the courts to beat Donald Trump for them. With the Monday 10 AM decision posted on the SCOTUS website, the Supreme Court said, no, they yelled to Joe Biden that it would not be doing the work for him.
Local Government: Just Give Us The Money
High fives and many kudos to Kevin Tyson, “The Feudal Model of State-Funded Education.” He eloquently and accurately described the very concept I held in my mind as I wrote my call for help last weekend.
Border Crisis: “Give Me The Money”
Joe Biden has three coined responses when asked about the state of the southern border or the crisis at the border. “Give me the power,” “the problem with the border is Donald Trump and his MAGA friends,” and his personal favorite, “give me the money.”
