MACDONALD: When You Think About Assisted Dying in France…

February 24, 2026 Steve MacDonald

France is one of those Western-style democracies that, after being liberated from the Nazis, began a long, slow decline toward the very tyranny they had escaped.

April 30, 2023March 7, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Elected Democrats in Vermont must have short memories, or maybe they don’t care. The Legislature is advancing a climate bill to hike the cost of heating your home. France added a climate gas tax hike no one but elites wanted a few years ago that set the country on fire in protest.

Germany is a mess, but it still has some amazing old-growth forests. Or does it? Having scuttled its nuclear energy capacity after Fukushima! – probably at the encouragement of Greens – it is trying to replace some of that capacity with wind, to the frustration and anger of Greens.
