MACDONALD: Political Murder-Suicide

July 23, 2026July 23, 2026 Steve MacDonald

If you have any doubts about whether a minority of radicals can consume a movement to the degree that it drives the bus, and drives it over its own moderates, you could look at history. Islam, the National Socialist (NAZI) Party in Germany, the Bolsheviks. Cuba right before Castro, China before Mao, and the American … Read more

PAYNE: Fabian’s Freeway to Tyranny

July 22, 2026 Russ Payne

America is committing national suicide. Only an inside job could overcome the Founders’ placing the power in the people’s hands, per Article I of the Constitution. This power has been usurped by the Executive and Judicial branches. Even the eternal promise of the Bill of Rights, listing God-given, inherent rights to lock the door on … Read more

MACDONALD: The Problem With All Of It

July 14, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Whether you like them or not, the hurricane season posts are a critical balance to the fearmongering agenda of the Climate Cult. More and stronger storms. That’s why we (or at least I) do these. Media bias is strong when the weather presents the opportunity, so we work to provide balance, but no one seems … Read more

ANDERSON: Democratic Socialists: One Vote, One Time?

June 26, 2026 William L. Anderson

Even a casual observer of America’s political scene can see that the Democratic Socialists of America have become a powerful force in electoral politics, as their candidates are winning one Democratic Party primary after another. This past week saw three more radical leftists winning congressional primaries in New York City, taking down two well-established members of Congress … Read more

MACDONALD: The Only Promise They Will Keep

May 8, 2026 Steve MacDonald

How you feel is not science, but the proglodytes are masters of weaponizing feels. They can convince any number of folks to ignore reality in exchange for acting almost entirely on emotion. It’s brainwashing en masse. The PsyOp. Mass hypnosis. There is a science to understanding how and why people are consumed by their feelings, … Read more

MACDONALD: It’s Not Just about Wealth Taxes

April 20, 2026April 20, 2026 Steve MacDonald

I am responsible for a flurry of recent content on wealth taxes. Rich Democrats like to play class warfare games, using emotion, envy, not of them, but of the other rich people. It’s an easy move, though not typically as effective in America, but it has found more traction on the left thanks to years … Read more

ROPER: Will 2026 Be the Year Vermonters Realize Democratic Socialist Policies Don’t Work?

January 1, 2026 Rob Roper

The Democratic Socialists around the country are feeling their oats! Mamdani’s mayoral win in New York and Katie Wilson’s in Seattle are sparking speculation that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could emerge as the Democrats’ presidential nominee in 2028. That’s a serious political high! But we in Vermont know – or should know – a few things others … Read more

As Dying Democrat Cities Poison the Rest of America

August 23, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Back in 2020, many months into the Left’s presidential campaign strategy doing business as the COVID pandemic and Peaceful Protests™, GraniteGrok predicted it could be the beginning of the end of big cities like New York.

Quick Takes – Hat Trick

October 8, 2021October 8, 2021 NITZAKHON

Within I pick three topics upon which to discourse, but not worth a full-length examination as a standalone piece on their own. But first, reprising an older cartoon (for shameless self-promotion!):

Will Democrats Love Richard Spencer Now That He’s Voting for Joe Biden?

August 24, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The Left has been ranting about Richard Spencer and Trump supporters for years. Spencer “is an unapologetic neo-Nazi (who) thinks Haitians should be re-enslaved and that racial minorities should be removed from America.” He’s also voting for Biden and the entire Democrat ticket.

That’s no Excuse, and the Racialized Marxists are Here to Fix It

September 25, 2020August 17, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Would it surprise to know that the vegan world is rife with systemic racism? It might surprise you more to discover you cared, but you should for reasons I’ll explain. It’s all connected.

Bernie and AOC keep saying “Democrat Socialism” is different than plain Socialism. It isn’t

February 21, 2020 Skip

It comes down to “Who Chooses”? With Socialism, in that everything is owned by “all” and the majority ALWAYS overrules the minority (and the smallest minority is YOU), the Government chooses (whether you like it or not). You are only a cog in a collective. With Capitalism and our Representative / Constitutional Republic, that adheres … Read more

Virginia is f***ed! – Democrats Prepared to Ban More than Just Firearms

November 30, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Earlier this year, I wrote about how New Zealand would set the left-wing standard for westernized governments banning firearms. And I was right. That nation’s socialists have gone Chairman Mao in their pursuit of civilian disarmament. The State of Virginia likes it so much they’re doubling down.

National Democrats, Like NH Dems, Can’t Denounce Antifa (Because they are Antifa)

June 9, 2023August 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Antifa was founded by the German Socialist Party to compete for leftist affection. “Adopting the word “Antifa” from a last-ditch attempt to establish a cross-party alliance between Communist and Social Democratic workers in 1932.”

Democrat- Socialism: The One Thing “to which we all belong” or Else!

June 21, 2020May 9, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I picked up Albert Jay Nock’s Our Enemy, the State (again). What a great read. Every page is loaded with things to consider. Challenges to the political orthodoxy of any day. With moments of brilliance that define not just the State but our relationship to it.

Part 1 – Testimony on behalf of HB564 – relative to possession of firearms in safe school zones

March 26, 2019March 26, 2019 Skip

I am here in Concord to both record and to testify on HB 564 (“relative to possession of firearms in safe school zones.”). It’s not a good bill – one that I would suggest is a nuisance bill that just makes it harder for law abiding gun owners to exercise their Second Amendment and Article … Read more

Bernie Sanders is IN! Promises, “economic, social, racial and environmental justice.”

February 19, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Bernie Sanders has announced. He is running for President. Sorry, he isn’t JUST running for President. “Our campaign is not only about defeating Donald Trump,” the 77-year-old self-described democratic socialist said in an email to supporters. “Our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice.”

Suspect in Synagogue Shooting Hated Trump

October 28, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Contrary to media reports that the man responsible for killing 11 at a synagogue in Pittsburgh is another crazed right-winger, he’s not right wing at all. And he hates Trump. Social Media posts screen grabbed before the accounts were locked down or deleted show that Robert Bowers did not vote for Trump and thought he was … Read more

Didn’t Wiley E. Coyote used to jump off cliffs as well?

September 26, 2018August 6, 2018 Skip

Go ahead, Socialists (there is no such thing as a “Democrat” Socialist just as there are no “Progressives” – they are just all Socialists now as Newsweek once said) feel free to jump off that cliff. Just remember – we Normals don’t want to go with you. Just leave us alone. Go to Venezuela and … Read more
