While it’s true a majority of Vermonters love the hypothetical (and fantastical) notion of our little state saving the planet from climate change by going “net zero” or some such thing, it’s also true that an even larger majority has absolutely net zero interest in paying for (or living with) the programs designed to do … Read more
It is very frustrating to see the protests, rallies, and news reports about President Trump and Elon Musk working hard to destroy our economy and democracy. All these activities are done by people ignorant of the facts or feeding an agenda. Either way, these people are pawns of the Left who are aiding and spreading … Read more
I want to believe that the Trump Administration already knew this would happen. They had inside knowledge from existing talks or calls that if they publicly unveiled their Tariff plan, two things would happen: The Democrats would overreact, and scores of trading partners would line up to do a deal. Sorry, I’m not that MAGA, … Read more
It sets my hair on fire when Democrats end every thought with the canned line, “So he can give tax breaks to billionaires.” It is so phony and rehearsed that I wonder if they actually believe the words themselves. As a matter of fact, with the plethora of lies emanating from their lips, can they … Read more
It’s a great time to buy stock in reliable names with low prices—companies with a history of stability and growth. You could make a killing over the long term. Dollar cost averaging will work in favor of any long-term investor doing that (401 Ks and the like). Day traders should see opportunities to take in … Read more
Not much in life comes with no effort or sacrifice. Want to get down to your ideal weight? Diet and exercise are never much fun. Want to go on a luxury vacation? Pull out the plastic and pay for years, or save for years, and hopefully, life hasn’t changed to allow your dream journey. Want … Read more
The Democratic Party is polling about 27 percent approval – and sinking. In 2024, it lost the White House, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and both the popular vote and the Electoral College, 312-226. In 2024, Donald Trump won over 46% of the Hispanic vote, including a majority of Hispanic men. Trump also likely … Read more
The Handmaiden media pulled some sleight of hand this morning. They made you look at Wisconsin as the bellwether for the 2026 midterms, but not Florida. The cheese heads did something remarkable. Backed by millions from progressive oligarchs like George Soros, JB Pritzker, and Reid Hoffman, they defended a State Supreme Court seat they already … Read more
If Democrats want to move the needle in 2026 (in their political favor) they might consider the crime problem. Democrats are defending illegal alien criminals, including violent gang members. Democrats are not denouncing crimes. Democrat rhetoric sounds criminal (threats, anger, etc). Democrats lost in 2024 in part by being soft on crime. Democrats are committing … Read more
I will always have reservations about the government using force (arrest, detention, and even deportation) when it appears to silence open expression, especially dissent. Absent actual threats or proof of incitement (that results in personal or property damage), let them speak. Yes, I wrote about this yesterday, but it’s important to keep digging into every … Read more
I had three other articles started for today. I began with the insanity of Rachel Maddow, then the behavior of the Democrat senators in the Intel Committee hearing, and finally, the Democrat members of Congress in their Intel hearing. But I scrapped them all. I don’t want to give the behavior of the Democrats any … Read more
The progs have settled on a strategy. Ignore the Left-Wing Oligarchy that ran Biden’s Presidency, and your country, into the ground. Oligarchs. The Oligarchy. That’s their Trump Card. But are they prepared to answer the questions only new media will dare broach? Who set policy for the Biden presidency? It was probably a panel of … Read more
On March 25, 2025, Speaker Mike Johnson took to X to deliver a scathing rebuke of the Democrat Party: “Democrats cheered against an American company. They refused to celebrate the rescue of American astronauts. They couldn’t even stand for a childhood cancer survivor. Their message has shifted from being anti-Trump to anti-American.” Standing before a podium emblazoned … Read more
I’m saddened to read the article in the NH Journal about your Town Hall meeting and that the progressive white loving democrats were verbally attacking and that you are receiving death threats because they can’t grow up and behave.. Their comments about you are totally out of line because you voted your conscience, principles, and … Read more
Ambassador Francis Rooney was going to be my guest this week, but he’s out of the country and in unstable internet territory, so we’re rescheduling. Instead, I grabbed some clips off the internet and a few classic rants from this week’s episode of Granite State Live and pasted a show together. The last one still … Read more
Democrats are in full retreat from the Clean Heat Standard law (Act 18) they passed in 2023. The carbon credit (aka carbon tax) on home heating fuels was and is a policy and political disaster. Vermonters want to see it repealed. Privately, a meaningful chunk of Democrats want to see it repealed. But there is … Read more
Remember that nut job with a disdain for carpenters that Senator Denise unseated in 2020? If you don’t, that’s ok because I’ll remind you now and she has a local opportunity to advance her struggle to stay relevant. It’s Jeanne Dietsch of Peterborough, founder of Granite State Matters, and there are a few details of … Read more
The Democrats are now the Party of Haters and Destructors. There is nothing they stand for other than being anti-Trump. They have no policies or legislation to counter the MAGA initiative. Their stand is the opposite of whatever Trump and the Republicans push for the American people. The Trump haters do not understand a politician … Read more
Nobody thought masks prevented viral infection before the COVID psyop, and you’d be hard pressed to take anyone seriously who thought so now. Besides that brief few years between 2020 and 2024, all the research was clear. Masks were never made to prevent viral transmission, and prolonged use can create health risks easily avoided by … Read more
Like their counterparts in Washington, the Democrats in Augusta are digging themselves a hole they may not escape for years. Through bad legislation and decision-making, they have taken a budget surplus they inherited and squandered it into a significant deficit. They have moved a traditionally conservative state to the progressive Left. They abandoned the values … Read more
