The Renewable Energy Standard Group Committee met again on October 25 to hash out what next year’s laws regarding energy policy will be, and again, utilities managers questioned the ulterior motives behind how some of the proposals seem to be favoring certain actors.

The Left’s Green Dreams Are Going Up In Smoke

October 31, 2023 Op-Ed

One of the textbook marketing flops of all time was the Ford Edsel sedan, which was heralded as the hot new car in the late 1950s. All the automotive experts and Ford executives said it was a can’t-miss. Henry Ford (the car was named after his son) guaranteed hundreds of thousands of sales.

Bradley’s Burgess Biomass Boondoggle is Back in the News

June 5, 2026October 31, 2023 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and I agree on several things. Lowering taxes (or eliminating them) is good. Shoring up protections for the right to self-defense is critical. And refusing to fund Berlin’s Burgess Biomass boondoggle was the right thing to do.

Nicaragua is Waging ‘Migrant Warfare’ Against the US – And Getting Rich in the Process

October 31, 2023 Op-Ed

The American left clucked its collective tongue when Ron DeSantis sent illegal aliens to their Leftist sanctuary cities and states. DeSantis was forcing the Leftists to acknowledge the cost burden their policies impose on border states. DeSantis was correct to do so.

A detransitioner who, as a 14-year-old girl, was coerced into taking testosterone that left her with vaginal atrophy, weak bones, and possible infertility is suing the experts who harmed her for malpractice, civil conspiracy, and fraud.

Night Cap: Is Vermont Becoming The Land of Suspicious Deaths?

July 16, 2024October 29, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Troublesome Creek has blue-skinned people. Kentucky has Blue Grass. There are Blue mountains in Oregon, but no one is turning blue faster than Vermont. In a few short years, the political Left has taken the state on a ride to hell.

Greenwashing: The Lies We Tell of Recycling and the Climate

January 6, 2024October 29, 2023 John Klar

In gauging the promises of climate rescue by corporations and non-governmental organizations, citizens must reflect upon the track record of past technological projects peddled as the cure to all that ails us. EVs, wind turbines, and solar panels are touted as absolutely necessary to save the planet.

Free And Brave? Maybe Neither

October 29, 2023 Ray Cardello

Americans have always prided themselves on living in the land of the Free and the Brave. It has a great sound, but does it ring hollow in the 21st century? We are not far from a two-year period where the government locked us down, forced us to vaccinate with untested pharmaceuticals, wear masks unless sleeping, and not to question a single facet of the COVID plan.

Battling Beasts and Bureaucrats: Naomi Wolf and the American Medical-Government Police State

October 29, 2023 Op-Ed

Naomi Wolf was, until the covid era, “a well-known feminist nonfiction writer for thirty-five years . . . privileged to be part of the cultural ‘scene’ made up of influencers on the progressive Left.” With great courage, she rejected the masks, lockdowns, and vaccines urged upon us by the state, viewing them as totalitarian impositions upon us. Her heroic stance turned her into a “nonperson”: her friends and associates on the left shunned her.

Defender Of The Second Amendment, But…

October 29, 2023 Ray Cardello

Second Amendment proponents, of which I am one, will say that gun rights and ownership are absolute. That there should be no infringement under any circumstances. These people will go to the mattresses (a mafia term for newbies) before they will yield on any changes to the Second Amendment.

Pulpit Polity – Prayers and the Governing of Our Nation

October 29, 2023 Op-Ed

This week, let’s look at the role that prayer played in the founding of our nation and is still a part of our civil ceremonies, but I might add, forbidden in our public schools.

Useful Idiots — New Hampshire, UNH, Stanford, Yale and the Rise of ‘Racism’

September 20, 2024October 28, 2023 Claire Best

Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act reads: “Simple justice requires that public funds, to which all taxpayers of all races [colors, and national origins] contribute, not be spent in any fashion which encourages, entrenches, subsidizes or results in racial [color or national origin] discrimination.”

A Coward and a Braggart Leads America

October 28, 2023 Op-Ed

Mr. Biden is a braggart and a coward. He brags about negotiating a ceasefire in the war in the Middle East. He did no such thing. Nobody talked seriously with him. He says it only took him 11 days to stop the fighting between Israel and Hamas. That they stopped fighting does not imply it was the result of his efforts.

Mr. Toyoda’s “I Told You So”

October 28, 2023 Op-Ed

The chairman of Toyota Motor Company is having an “I told you so” moment. Mr. Akio Toyoda was gloating Wednesday, October 25, in Japan at an automakers conference. About a year ago, Mr. Toyoda warned the world’s governments and auto companies were rushing into the adoption of Electric Vehicles when doing so just wasn’t smart, … Read more

Indoctrination, Ignorance, or Stupidity

October 27, 2023 Ray Cardello

Tuesday was declared a National Walk Out Day on behalf of Hamas and against Israel. The list of spontaneous protests on college campuses since the war between Israel and Hamas is long, and the schools are in virtually every state. It is evident by the organization of these marches they have been backed and supported by some heavyweight antisemitic individuals like George Soros.

Problems with Underground Carbon Storage – Capturing CO2 or Corporate Profits?

October 27, 2023 John Klar

Carbon sequestration is now common climate change parlance for processes that remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it either in organic matter or geological formations. But is it really as good as it sounds? The first method, also called rewilding, involves growing trees. The second, geological sequestration, involves a massive industry, pipelines, and the … Read more

Bernie Sanders is Still Laundering Campaign Cash to Family Members

October 27, 2023October 27, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Back in August, we published our first report on the Saunders Institute for Money Laundering. The so-called non-profit had been the beneficiary of campaign cash leftovers from the Sanders for Public Office slush fund. At the time, he’d transferred 200,000.00 dollars, but according to the FEC, he wasn’t done.

Countering the Woke Offensive

October 26, 2023 Op-Ed

Did someone recently flip a switch? It seems as though Wokeism, the Great Reset, ESG, DEI, and an assortment of other radical left-wing positions have just taken over. It is in the movies, media, sports, finance, retail businesses, and even in the beer industry.
