Is Vermont’s “Double Tax” on EVs Really the Problem?

July 16, 2024July 26, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Vermont goes out of its way to steal from its citizens. They are one of the most taxed populations in the US. So an op-ed by EV advocates concerned that vehicle and charging taxes might impact economically vulnerable populations seemed worth my time.

Ohio Train Crash Exposes $1.9T Farce

February 16, 2023 Ray Cardello

The $1.9 Trillion Infrastructure Bill that Joe Biden and every Democrat brag about is a farce. There is no prioritizing of issues in this country. There is no list of priority situations.

One of our mantras is “Thank’em when they do right and spank’em when they do wrong so, step right up, (my) District 1 Executive Councilor Joe Kenney. And no, this isn’t a thank you letter so you only have one choice left as to why I’m writing this.

June 30, 2023December 1, 2021 Steve MacDonald

From the keep sending us stuff pile, someone sent me an observation by some rando on the internet (who worked in the chemical and pharmaceuticals industry) wondering about the logistics of manufacturing so many vaccines in so little time.

Logistics Geniuses in Congress Create “Shovel Ready Jobs” – Now They Just Need to Find Some Workers, Oh, and Some “Shovels”

November 12, 2021November 12, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The passage of the so-called infrastructure bill has been heralded as a victory for Democrats and the Biden administration. I think not. While spending gobs of money that does not exist is always a win on the left, this exposes them to other failures.

40% of TSA Agents Are Still Unvaccinated as Federal Deadline Looms

October 18, 2021October 18, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The first best thing America could do to “improve” transportation infrastructure is to rid itself, not just of useless Mayor Pete, but the entire Biden Administration. Port problems, delays, shortages, rising prices, and inflation. And now, the TSA is set to become the next logistical disaster. Roughly 40% are unvaccinated and could be terminated just days before Thanksgiving.

They Don’t Want a Republic. They Want a King.

August 14, 2021 Burt Janz

Let’s face it: the “process” is now totally corrupt. Members of Congress, both in the House of Representatives and the Senate, are now considering a bill to pay for “infrastructure.”

The Link Between the Phony Infrastructure Bill (Supported by Phony Republicans) and Amnesty

August 10, 2021 Ed Mosca

This: “Looks like the infrastructure bill gave the Dems air cover to push a massive amnesty. This is a disaster for our country.”

The Biden-Republicans

July 30, 2021 Ed Mosca

This: By “Romney deal” Ingraham means the “infrastructure” bill. A bill that … I have read or heard … is over 2,500 pages long … so query how many of the GOP Senators who voted for it actually know what is in it … and is not “paid for.” A bill that … when passed … Read more

Japan Says China is Planning a “Surprise Attack” on US Energy Infrastructure

July 6, 2021 Steve MacDonald

If you were a global superpower with the world’s largest navy and a growing stockpile of conventional and nuclear weapons, what would you do? If you’re the US, you let dangerous nations eclipse you and make Joe Biden the President to encourage China or Russia to take a chance.

New Hampshire Progressive Radio (NHPR) has this cute little piece about a regional utility deciding to join a National Vehicle Charging Network. There are not enough Electric Vehicle Charging Stations around these parts, and they mean to fix it. But who pays? You guessed it!

The Infrastructure of Racism with Regard to Racist Infrastructure

April 12, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Everything is racist, and racism is everything except their racism. That’s not racist at all, and it’s not anti-racist because there’s no such thing because they say so.

January 24, 2021 Percy Blakeney

Today, funding for the Highway Trust Fund comes from the federal gas tax. The federal gas tax is 18.4 cents per gallon and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel. Leftists do not think this is enough to fund their vision.
