There is only one show on network television that I have watched and have for years. Fortunately, thanks to DVRs and streaming services, I have not had to park in front of a television every Friday night for the last 14 years. Blue Bloods has been a constant for over a decade because it is a rarity.
The Democrat Solution to High Property Taxes Is… More Higher Taxes!
Since attaining supermajority status in Montpelier, the Democrats’ education policy can be explained as “give the government school monopoly (the VTNEA, superintendents association, etc.) whatever they want!”
Never Stop Applauding … Or Else!
It’s appropriate that the 28th annual meeting of the United Nations Climate Summit is called the “Conference of Parties.” Each year, they have a party destroying the liberty of the American people.
Night Cap: Voter’s Regrets?
Let me first say that this statement is about the incompetent finance committee chair and my former opponent, Alderman Dowd, and not me. I want to get that disclaimer on record before I get accused of being a sore loser. Last November, I lost to him 830-1003 with 182 undervotes.
Whistleblower: The Manchester VA is A Microcosm of Everything Wrong With the Federal Government
“I feel like I’ve stepped back in time.” An all-too-common phrase recited by almost every healthcare provider when they start working at the Manchester Veteran’s Affairs (VA) Medical Center after working in the private sector. We all joke about our period of “VA culture shock,” but when the fog clears, it becomes clear that something is very wrong.
What Makes Good Government?
Hello, Friends of Freedom,
Let’s continue this week on our observance of what makes “GOOD GOVERNMENT.” Last week we discussed the foundation of all good government is TRUTH. This week, let’s look at another issue in line with truth. MORALY IN LEGISLATION.
Solution to the World’s Carbon Problems
Touting a supposed “new study,” mainstream media is advocating globalist prescriptions for climate change that would utilize existing public school lunch programs to compel children to eat unhealthy processed vegetarian alternatives to wholesome grass-fed meats or fresh local foods. The audacity and misinformation of these proposals reflect elitist disconnect from basic nutrition and soil health.
Calling Out Drag Queen Story Hour and Bomb Hoax in Hartford
After watching the various townsfolk berate Select Board member Lannie Collins for speaking in opposition to fellow board member Ally Tufinkjian’s praising the Drag Queen Story Hour that was attempted to be held in downtown White River Junction, it was incumbent upon me to defend Mr. Collins.
Night Cap: How Corrupt is This?
In 2023, HB 44 was a defeated bill that threatened to turn certain single-family-zoned neighborhoods into rental nightmares. However, this year comes an even worse bill, HB 1291, to be heard by a House ‘Special’ Committee on Housing on February 16.
We Must Stop the Destruction of Western Progress and Culture
The mass immigration of 3rd world country populations into Western countries currently happening across the world has to stop and must be reversed. Case in point: Reportedly, the most popular first name in the UK right now for baby boys is Mohamad, and the world is supposed to celebrate this in the name of diversity … Read more
Public Education Choking Hooksett Taxpayers
Another chaotic confrontation took place at the Hooksett Town Meeting on Saturday. On both sides good folks were confronted with the reality that the school budget is choking taxpayers.
Taxes, Inflation, Vacancies, and Shoplifting Becoming Too Hard To Bear
A convergence of financial pressures threatens to send shock waves through America’s commercial real estate sector in 2024. As a record number of outstanding commercial mortgages mature, refinancing at nosebleed interest rates is a daunting hurdle for investors and lenders alike.
For the Children: Ban Flavored Tobacco, but Not Flavored Pot, Legalize Drug Dens (No Age Limits)
If you want to know why Vermont is in such terrible shape on so many fronts, it is because the people we have elected to make important decisions for us are totally unmoored from any rational approach to problem-solving. They are devoid of any guiding principle, barring an intense desire to get their hands on our money and spend it as they see fit, which is usually not in a fit way.
Night Cap: Transgenderism Madness
I just retired after 35 years of working in the human service field. I was appalled at the lack of truthfulness, informed consent, and irrational fear that was foisted upon citizens by the medical bureaucrats during the Covid pandemic years. Their many lies are coming to light with Lord Fauci, Patron Saint of Wuhan, merely the idolized figurehead.
The Strange Case of Alex Talcott
Not much makes sense in the homicide of GOP lawyer Alexander Talcott or the investigation and report on it from the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. Following the money is always a good place to start.
Deceptive Political Advertising Complaint
To whom it may concern: On February 5, 2024, the news site “In Depth New Hampshire” (for whom I have a great deal of respect – so this is not leveled at them as I believe they were unaware) published a “News Release” entitled “What to do about teen dating violence.”
Congress Trusts, I Don’t. Do You?
Senator Rand Paul, in his talk, Deception: The Great Covid Cover-up, at Hillsdale’s College Washington campus, exposes many revelations of unknown nefarious facts about the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and their major role in initiating gain-of-function research at Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Night Cap: Haley’s Democrat Supporters Won’t Vote for Her in the General Election
My good friends, Don Bolduc and Rep. Bob Healey, recently got back-to-back coverage in the Union Leader simply because they espoused their ho-hum rhetoric against President Trump in favor of their friend Nikki Haley. Hey, I get it. We all want to showcase the good points of our favored candidate and disparage the “opposition.”
The Demise of the Electric Vehicle
The nation’s recent deep freeze stranded many expensive electric vehicles (EVs) with drained batteries, often in front of charging stations equally disabled by the cold. Warmer areas like California, where some 39% of EV car owners reside, do not abuse their batteries with the harsh seasonal winters that threaten many regions of the nation and … Read more
UK Daily Mail Can’t Find Anyone Who Knows Why Vermont is Such a Mess (They Should Have Asked Us)
The UK Daily Mail (Online) has a lengthy look at the public safety issues in Vermont. Rising overdose deaths and a murder spike have the experts reeling as they look for ways to turn things around. It’s a mystery to them – but not to us.
