At Monday night’s Burlington City Council meeting, some Progressive city councilors and attendees mocked Democrat city councilors’ ‘Burlington Forward’ public safety plan as ‘Burlington Backward.’ They claimed the plan would return Burlington to an era of incarceration and forced removal of homeless encampments – both of which they deplore and insist won’t work. The epic … Read more
I opened the blurb for Friday’s Morning Update with “You don’t hate the media nearly enough. Thirty-Four hours later, and I’m thinking, you didn’t hate the Biden Administration nearly enough. It’s no secret that Donald Trump has taken the word “war on drugs” literally. He has blown up boats and invaded Cartel leaders’ homes. Venezuela is no … Read more
Are we far enough away from the shadow of COVID that New York passing a law banning masks isn’t hilarious? Details, I know. The Empire State would never ban medical masks even if they were worn to conceal your identity, something federal agents in Border Protection and enforcement should consider the next time someone gives … Read more
This week, on The New England Take, A. J. speaks with State Co-Chairs Donna Soucy (Democrat) and Kevin Smith (Republican) of The New Hampshire Forum about their community conversations, the importance of civil discourse and breaking political silos, and how they want to help create laws that most people want. Friday at 8 pm will … Read more
Governor Margaret Wood Hassan signed New Hampshire’s hands-free device law in 2015. We told them it wouldn’t do what they claimed and might just make matters worse. After all, the research showed that people who got distracted still would, and people less inclined would be more often, as they tried to avoid detection. The law … Read more
The tarmac belongs to the state, yet the Islamic cult claims the asphalt for themselves every single Friday. Traffic halts, commerce bleeds, and emergency vehicles stall while hundreds bow in unison across active lanes of traffic. This public blockade is an act of war against civil order, a calculated display of territorial dominance disguised as religious … Read more

The Democrats are being steamrolled by the Socialists, and they are letting them use the big tent for the slaughter. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have been claiming for months that the young radical DSA candidates were a welcome addition to the Party, but the truth is, the leaders of the Party have as much … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, you don’t hate the media nearly enough, and Dr. Robert Malone has provided a very recent example of this for your consumption on how the ‘Press’ used a review article to sell a medical fact that was never demonstrated. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does … Read more
The USA should be grateful to Comrade “MAD MAN” Mamdani! Human nature causes human beings to see NIRVANA (The land that never was and never will be), and NIRVANA is exactly the promise of Communism: Everything for Nothing! On the other hand, Capitalism teaches and practices the belief that with “Hard Work” (and a little … Read more
History moves through profound and unexpected reversals, exposing the sharp paradoxes of global cultural transformation. Today, a striking geopolitical irony unfolds across two distinct geographic spheres. Within Iran, a massive cultural awakening is burning away decades of enforced religious dogma as citizens actively reject the institutions of the Islamic Republic to reclaim their ancient Persian … Read more
Not to beat a dead horse, but the cabal of aisle-crossing objectors to AI is a stubborn lot. Ignore the threat represented by China and other America-hating international actors. Focus on the threat to privacy (not from China, apparently), logistics (water and electricity), and a corporatist cabal (but also not China. A few unpleasant reminders. … Read more
August 19 is a busy day on the calendar. It’s Veto Day, and both chambers convene at 10 am. Also at 10 am, the executive council meets at Cranmore for Kenney’s turn to host in their roadshow series. Later that day (5-6pm) is the 23rd anniversary Nashua Goes Back to School event at Holman Stadium. … Read more
Streets bleed red with self-inflicted wounds while the republic sleeps. Forty-five thousand foreign-born radicals flood Michigan asphalt, executing violent ritual flagellation to mourn a warlord dead for thirteen centuries. A foreign sectarian war invades United States borders. Shia zealots march through Dearborn, swinging blades and chains into their own flesh. This spectacle honors Hussein, a … Read more
Moral relativism, relative secularism, and the idea that good and evil are subjective are always a pretext for evil behavior. It is, after all, much easier to excuse evil if you don’t believe in it. If the ends justify the means, then othering people and encouraging your base to do evil for you with violent … Read more
When Vermonters vote this November (or, more accurately, when Vermonters vote at some point between September 24th and November 3rd during our ludicrous election-month-and-a-half), we will have to decide whether or not to pass yet another constitutional amendment, this one called Proposition 3, or “The Right to Collectively Bargain.” Just going to say up front, … Read more
If you missed, skipped, or dismissed Ian Underwood’s Rethinking Education, you should be making time to watch it. In today’s Morning Update, I share the first of several excerpts that should change how you think about education. So much so that we encourage you to watch it and then share it with policymakers and legislators. … Read more
Nashua residents deserve a city government that is transparent, accountable, and respectful of the people it serves. Over the past several years, however, the City of Nashua’s financial administration has moved in the opposite direction, away from openness and toward practices that make it harder for residents to understand how their tax dollars are being … Read more
I smell a lawsuit coming. Something along the lines of a First Amendment violation. Abridging the freedom of the press. The People’s Republic of Burlington, Vermont, has instituted a 10-minute rule in city hall. The City Hall Code of Conduct and Trespass Policy. It is quite unprogressive. For example, a city that favors progressive vagrancy … Read more
