In my 87 years of life, one of the most important lessons I learned early, taught to me by my late brother who wasted the tremendous talent God blessed him with: It’s easy to become happy while you’re drinking, but New Year’s Day you wake up with the same problems and a headache.
Climate Council Can’t Decide Which Tax It Likes Best
First question: Why do we even have a Climate Council at this point? Why have we ever had one? All these twenty-three (twenty-two, really, because the corrupt Speaker of the House has refused for over a year to appoint a representative from the Fuel Dealers as required by law) unelected, self-important bloviators do is sit … Read more
If Donald Trump Is An ‘Insurrectionist’ For Criticizing An Election, What Does That Make Hillary?
The “insurrectionist” clause of the 14th Amendment says, “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of … Read more
Night Cap: NH Border Stores Should Stock Up on Fluorescent Light Bulbs – Vermont Ban Begins Jan 1
The People’s Republic of Vermont banned fluorescent light bulbs. Not all, but the most common and practical home and office use varies. That is bad news for Vermonters but good news, maybe great news, for New Hampshire retailers.
Why Trump Should Love the Colorado Ruling
The Colorado Supreme Court, acting as supplicants for the enemies of Donald Trump seeking the most extreme remedy for driving the former president into the ditch, may have just unwittingly gifted the former president a Rocky Mountain high – in the polls.
Hypocrisy and Conflicts of Interest Flowed Freely …
Al Gore famously launched the climate-carbon crisis campaign with his alarmist proclamations of “inconvenient truths” about human warming of the planet. His repeated gaffes have since undermined his credibility, making “the boy who cried climate wolf” howl ever louder.

Claudine Gay, Plagiarism & the DEI Lie.
Claudine Gay was celebrated as the first black woman president of Harvard. She is not the first black woman to have reached the giddy heights of leadership in the US however.

Bear Pond Conservative Chronicles: A Look At The Mess That Is Maine Politics
I am a Granite Stater to the bone, but I have fallen in love with Maine over the last few years. My partner and I have deep roots in the Pine Tree State as she was born in Maine and spent much of her childhood in Central Maine. I enjoyed many vacations camping along the rocky coast, and three years ago, we found our summer home on Bear Pond.
Congress’ ‘Gift’ to America This Christmas
Just before leaving town for Christmas break, the US House gave Americans a last-minute holiday gift: a nearly trillion-dollar military spending bill filled with lots of goodies for the special interests and the military-industrial complex. Unfortunately, the rest of America got nothing but coal in its stockings.

Woodrow Wilson’s Christmas Grift of 1913
We think of thieves as conducting their work when no one is looking, such as breaking into a house while the owners are away. But the most successful thieves have done their stealing in plain sight, on a grand scale, while the owners were home and often with their tacit approval, though with sleights of hand that few are able to detect.
A Christmas Reflection by the Director of our Church Ambassador Network, Neil Hubacker
This Christmas, amid the turmoil in the world, we may feel that we’re on the edge of another “fullness of time” moment. How should we best posture ourselves at this critical juncture?
Sorry Santa, Joe Says No More Coal
To say it has been a wild year would be a gross understatement. Thanks to Joe and the rest of the gang that can’t shoot straight, we have had no shortage of topics in 2023. The difficult task has been to avoid redundancy as the disappointments and failures of Team Biden filled the headlines. I wanted to report good news but would not fall into Joe’s trap.
We Have Had Enough Darkness, It Is Time For The Light
I watched and listened to the Archbishop of New York, Timothy Cardinal Doyle, on Fox and Friends on Friday, and it may have been the most impressive few minutes I have ever witnessed from any member of the Catholic Clergy. He was on the show to deliver his Christmas message, and deliver he did.
Merry Christmas!
Christmas is a time for reflection, gratitude, and kindness. Let us take a moment to appreciate the blessings in our lives, the love that surrounds us, and the beauty of this festive season.
Don’t Believe Everything You Hear From Town Council
I heard a rather shocking pronouncement from Town Council Chairman John Farrell at the 12/18/23 public meeting. “Don’t believe everything you read in the paper,” Farrell says, “because it’s all one-sided.”
You Can Deal with Only So Many Issues. Which Ones Are Best?
This article is for persons who are discouraged by the fact that new burdens are added every day to the list of which issues should occupy one’s time and energy. Perhaps you should write down what it is that you hope to accomplish and note how much effort you’ve been putting into this or that.
Maine Won’t Put Chris Christie on Its 2024 Republican Primary Ballot
Twenty days ago, we reported on a muck-up in Maine (that’s muck, with an ‘m’). Team Christie, or so the State claimed, had failed to provide 2000 in-state signatures (of certified registered voters) as required by law. The campaign appealed, and the State Supreme Court has ruled.
