I have several readers who send me news-related articles on a daily basis. Some of them funny, many of them concerning the shifting political winds and typically all of them bent toward conservatism.
Clean Heat Standard “Not Cost Effective”
So, even the advocates’ number crunchers looking at the Global Warming Solutions Act’s Clean Heat Standard have to admit that the costs Vermonters will have to cover to meet greenhouse gas reduction mandates exceed any potential benefits — by a lot — even after those advocates apply two and a half billion dollars in totally made-up benefits to the ledger via the bogus “Social Cost of Carbon.”
Night Cap: Long Ago Solutions
America’s weakness is her public’s lack of attention and protection for all that she offers. As each generation passes on, so does the lessening of the overall splendor that our Forefathers sacrificed for and authored. As time goes on, this diversion of attention and respect becomes a weakening agent.
For Pramila Jayapal, Rape Is A Tool Of The Military

Should the White House Be an Assisted Living Facility?
Anyone paying any attention to the news knows Mr. Biden has seen better days. Now, it’s not just gaffes anymore. We progressed to hot mic moments. Now it’s just plain sad. The man can barely walk without falling down or tripping. He confuses people and places all of the time. He even has trouble working from a teleprompter.

ICYMI – Maine Says Chris Christie Didn’t Qualify to Be on Its GOP Presidential Primary Ballot
For all the talk amongst the never-Trumpers about keeping The Donald off state ballots, perhaps someone should have spent more time trying to get his challenger on them. Maine has announced that Chris Christie lacked the signatures needed to appear on its ballot, and so he will not.
Separate Tech and State
Some libertarians dismiss concerns over social media companies’ suppression of news and opinions that contradict select agendas by pointing out that these platforms are private companies, not part of the government. There are two problems with this argument.
Frank Edelblut Should Get Back in the Race
In September, Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut spoke to the Brentwood Republican Committee. I don’t hang out there, but Frank had just announced his non-candidacy for Governor, and a neighbor and fellow Grokster was aching to understand the skullduggery behind the move and offered me a ride to the event. Frank gave a talk, not on … Read more
Night Cap: Democrats, Property Taxes, and Vermont
It would be best if you never trusted anyone who sees no limit to how much the government can spend, always increases budgets, and then claims they want to lower your property taxes. They are lying to you. They have to tax you more, but they don’t want it showing up as a bill in your mailbox.
The Legacy Of BLM — A Few Banked Millions While Literally Everyone Else Is Worse Off
On Tuesday night, DC residents gathered to lament the state of their city.

Elon Musk’s Solar Panel Paradox
In a recent interview with Joe Rogan, Elon Musk claimed the United States could be supplied with electricity by a 10,000-square-mile solar array. Mr. Rogan did not critically press the iconic X-owner as to the logistical or environmental problems such an installation would present.

Hello, Friends of Freedom. I hope your Thanksgiving was everything you desired and more. This week I want to examine the patriarch Joseph in scripture and his prevalent role in leading a secular nation as a man of faith. His historical account is found in Genesis 39-41.
Biden Beef Deal Risks Foot and Mouth Disease
A controversial initiative by the Biden Administration proposes to permit the importation into the US of fresh beef from Paraguay.

Night Cap: Are We In For Another Summer of Love
The Summer of Love in 2020 grew out of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the elevation of Black Lives Matter. Protests, violence, and destruction filled the evening news. Some of our bigger cities were taken over and destroyed by gangs in the name of ending Racism and violence towards Blacks. It was violence to solve violence, and it was anything but a love fest. It was ugly and an embarrassment for America.
The Trump of Argentina Wins
The recent election of Argentinian President Javier Milei is a political earthquake as big as the election of President Donald Trump in 2016. The anti-establishment movements in Argentina and the United States share remarkable similarities.
The Bidenomics Fairy Tale And Other Leftist Lies
Joe Biden was in Colorado this week to push his Bidenomics Program and how it has the American economy on the right track. For a man who grew up on the railroad, the economy may be on the right track but is heading in the wrong direction.
Dem/Prog Supermajority is Super Out of Touch
Campaign for Vermont released some initial teaser numbers from a poll they conducted as we head into the 2024 legislative session just about a month away.
