Ben & Jerry’s Says, “Hold My Bud Light!”
Okay… So, by now you have probably heard that Ben & Jerry’s, in a “Hold my Bud Light” attempt to see who can alienate the most customers with one Tweet, kicked off July 4th with the statement, “It’s high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it.”
You Left Out “Children and Grandchildren Robbed” …

Who’s Responsible for Failing Schools? … Parents who Notice and Complain, says Columnist.

Coming Soon: GraniteGrok in Vermont … Should We Call it VermontGrok? Green MountainGrok?

Vermont Dems Still Want a Raise (Is it so They Can Afford All the Tax Hikes They Passed?)

We’ve been documenting Vermont’s decline for years, but not the National Rifle Association is getting in on the gig. They’ve got an article titled “Is Gun Control Making Vermont Less Safe?”
Bananas: Vermont Tells America “Don’t Kill Yourself, Let Us Do It For You”
The proverbial axiom “the only certainties in life are death and taxes” is no truer than in Vermont.

Vermont’s Oldest Loon Dies – No, It Wasn’t Bernie Sanders
Headline: Vermont’s Oldest Loon Dies…” My first thought is that the perennial primary victim of DNC hijinks, Senator Bernie Sanders, had shuffled off his mortal coil. Nope. He’s still kicking. They are talking about a different old bird.
Is Vermont’s Land Grab About Conservation or Securing Real Estate for Wind and Solar Farms?
Much like in New Hampshire, if a bill sits on a governor’s desk for too long, it passes without a signature. Passed without action and allowed to become law. It is a form of Gubernatorial protest without much protest.
Legal Weed in Vermont Leads to a Rise in Stoned Drivers
Last October, dispensaries in Vermont opened their doors to allow any adult with the need, medical or otherwise, to buy marijuana. In the months since, State Police have responded to 60 DUI calls where cannabis was “involved.”

The Vermont Library Association Stands With … Racism
The Vermont Library Association recently published a release titled “Vermont Library Association Statement on Critical Race Theory” (CRT).

Vermont Gloats Over Its Gun-Grabbing as Maine Tries to Keep Up
The super-majority Democrat legislature in Vermont can have whatever it wants and it has. From terrible energy policy to denying residents of their second amendment rights, Vermont Dems are pushing as hard as they can to take away your liberties.
Vermont Celebrates Roadside Billboard Ban That The Dems Green Energy Mandate Will Make Meaningless
Fifty-five years ago, the State of Vermont became the first in the nation to ban roadside billboards. I didn’t know that, but now that I do, celebrating the “accomplishment” – and they are – given the current direction of state energy policy is ridiculous.
We Should Be Surprised That Neighboring Vermont Has Gone As Full Democrat as CA? Gun Permits, Registration, & Insurance on Tap?
I read True North North Reports, a site that concentrates on VT politics, on a regular basis (Steve’s posts on the ‘Grok get a fairly regular posting there in return!). To be truthful, seeing how far under the Democrat sway that VT has gone the last few years, now to the point of having veto-proof … Read more
Vermont: A State That Exists Because of a Militia Just Banned Them.
The history of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys has some odd turns, but the result was Vermont. It is a state that exists because of a militia that just banned militias.
