It could have been dark and gloomy, just like the last four years, but alas, the lights are bright, and people are happy and smiling once again. There is a bounce in people’s steps, and fears about the premature end of the great experiment called the United States have been assuaged. The stars were aligned, … Read more
Every now and again, I wander over to one or the other of the local (college) student newspapers. These things are treasure troves of material, and it’s been a while since I did. With Thanksgiving on our doorstep, I went fishing for woke BS. I didn’t find any, which was disappointing. There were no Friendsgiving … Read more
A weekly look at Vermont and New Hampshire politics: This week, it’s energy, carbon, NH’s weird Election results, Policing in the shadow of BLM, Crime, gun bans, and more.
After much amusing side chatter about the risk-reward ratio of taking a traitor and evidence suppressor like Liz Cheney on tour with you, the data has arrived. Data for Progress asked voters in Michigan and Pennsylvania if Liz Cheney made them more or less enthusiastic about supporting Harris in the upcoming election. I bet you … Read more
So much for an open platform that lets everyone speak their mind. That’s X (do we still have to say, formerly Twitter?). It’s still there. You can still say whatever you want. But Democrats—the very progressive ones, at least—are fleeing the platform for more censorship-focused Threads and BlueSky. I don’t actually know if BlueSky is … Read more
This year has been costly for the democrat party since its true nature has finally been self revealed. Unknowingly, they boxed themselves into a corner; first with Biden as their 2020 candidate, followed with his announcing that his running mate would be a woman, preferably a minority. Once Harris was chosen their Waterloo awaited. Especially … Read more
How long ago was it that the Leftists were confidently articulating their plans to reshape America? They were forcing aggressive policy change, dismantling the filibuster. Now the tune is changing. The Left is all about bipartisanship. Before the election it was all power, all the time. The Leftists hate America, her constitution and the rule … Read more
Al Brandano has voluntarily dismissed his case against David Scanlan and the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s Office (SoS). Al has been trying, through the courts, to force the SoS to adhere to federal election law, which requires all Federal election records to be maintained for 22 months. In the past, New Hampshire has allowed … Read more
On this very terrain, four years ago, I asserted that we can “never again” allow an election like 2020 to happen. I’m back to say that despite Trump’s near landslide, America’s election system is still broken. And the time to fix it is immediately, while President Trump has the wind at his back with a … Read more
Considering how much money was apparently spent by the Democrats trying to sink the Trump campaign recently, much of which seemingly went to various and sundry “celebrities,” such as Al Sharpton, Oprah Winfrey (who claims it went to her production company, not to her), Traylor Not-So-Swift, etc., I feel compelled to repeat what I wrote … Read more
The Town of Windham, New Hampshire, is known the world over and to a greater degree in all fifty states, but not for a good reason. It suffers from Electoral Dysfunction (ED). Its clerks and election moderators can’t seem to run an election without something going sideways. Local or Federal. There’s some issue. You’re likely … Read more
This sounds like the goal is to ensure no one is accountable to anyone for whatever happens to the digital data from federal elections.
Guy Page and Rob Roper talk Changes in Legislative leadership? Election consequences for Clean Heat Standard, property taxes, illegal immigrants.
If you can stand the sound of their voices or the inane things those voices say, there is a collective message to America coming from the left. If you didn’t vote for Kamala, it wasn’t because she was a lousy candidate (one of the worst ever). It isn’t her open embrace of the misery you … Read more
I’m picking on Kevin here because he’s written two mostly ridiculous articles following the November 5 election lamenting how Donald Trump won a stunning victory nationally, and Vermont Republicans shattered the Democrats’ supermajorities in both chambers of the legislature, but he’s not alone. I would have let it go and allowed him and John Walters, … Read more

If you did not follow the story, there was an issue with completed ballot security and the “tamper-proof” tape used on boxes of completed ballots. It was easily circumvented. After a bit of convincing, the state acknowledged the need for a different tape. They did not accept an offer from the vendor to provide instruction … Read more
The Trump campaign targeted male voters in a way no other candidate had done before. Not only did it work to get him elected, but it also woke a sleeping giant of men ready to take on the government that had long forgotten them. President-elect Donald Trump’s son, Barron Trump, is one of those credited with his … Read more
The Republican Party is celebrating their historic victory this week as the GOP spanked the Democrat Party like the bunch of BDSM loving nymphomaniacs they are. Sweeping the Presidency, Senate and House by margins more comfortable than Mitch McConnell’s retirement pajamas, the red wave crashed from sea to shining sea like the Kool-Aid Man breaking … Read more
