I was amused to see two large signs stating that reproductive rights are on the ballot. What else could similarly be said to be on the ballot? Hillary Clinton has offered her services to a prospective Harris administration. Robert F Kebnnedy Jr. has offered his services to the prospective Trump administration. So, Hillary vs. RFK … Read more
On the last weekend of October before the 2024 US lresidential elections, Donald Trump and crew held a massive rally in Madison Square Garden.

To whom it may concern: Advocates for the Clean Heat Standard insist that the program will only add a few cents to the price of fossil home heating fuels (oil, kerosene, propane, fossil natural gas), that the law, Act 18, is “only a study,” and that, if implemented, it will help low-income Vermonters by lowering … Read more
Londonderry keeps making news. It’s been an interesting few years, pushing Laura Gandia out, 91-a hijinks, press intimidation, and incompetent planning boards. The Fire Chief resigned this month, and now the whiny town manager is resigning. Even Governor Sununu is pissed. He of the take the free federal money seems to have been of the opinion that … Read more
The NH-BIA pandering Bradley is just more of their same stroking-the-pet advocacy approach. It says: Be Our Boy, and Good Things Come Your Way. Senate membership is small and a bit clubby. The message of individual gratification is clearly received by all. Buying influence in the Senate is much more affordable than a sprawling crowd like the House. We … Read more
The effort by Virginia to remove ” noncitizens who were not eligible to vote in the first place” can proceed. The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for Virgina. The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily blocked an order by a federal judge that would have required Virginia to return more than 1,600 people to … Read more
After Sunday night’s Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, there are reports that the term “fascism” to describe Trump and his supporters is not sticking as the Democratic strategists hoped it would. Lessons learned by Hillary Clinton in 2016 indicate that she allowed her strategists at SKDK PR Company to command the narrative for her, … Read more
Most of us recognize leadership when we see it. Leaders inspire with enviable qualities like character, broad knowledge, commitment, fairness, and authenticity. But there’s another important attribute sometimes overlooked. President Eisenhower associated leadership with accountability. He defined leadership as “…taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes … Read more
Just hours after being released from prison for refusing to be a puppet of the partisan Congressional J6 Commission, yesterday, Steve Bannon was on the air, back in the WarRoom. Talk About an October Surprise—Bannon, on the loose, with a week before the election. “Understand something. And this has to be very clear. The DEmcorats … Read more
We are in the final stretch of the 2024 Presidential Election, and the polls show this race is a virtual tie. To the naked eye, this is a difficult assessment to swallow as we can see the momentum has swung tremendously in favor of Donald Trump, and the energy disparity at the various rallies of … Read more
Though it may feel like it for many of us, who knows where we rank among the most uncertain times in human history? Many civilizations have faced enormous levels of hostility and strife, our own as well during the Civil War, however the alarmist bells are clanging on both sides making essentially the same claim … Read more
This is not a first-time nod but a repeat (if memory serves). New Hampshire has ranked number one in the United States for beer consumption (woo-hoo!). Northeastern states, particularly New Hampshire (1.66 gallons) and Vermont (1.58 gallons) have some of the highest beer consumption rates in the country. New Hampshire doesn’t have state sales tax, … Read more
Is there more to election integrity than secured votes and ballots?
New Hampshire has an amendment on the November Ballot that would allow judges to serve until age 75. We currently retire them at 70. I confess that, until the past week, I paid no attention to this whatsoever, but others have. ‘Grok author Laurie Ortolano dropped a piece on the amendment (opposed), to which occasional … Read more
Former President Donald Trump is making a play for a state President Joe Biden won by ten points in 2024. All eyes should be on Virginia on Nov. 5. In 2023, political pundits told voters to look to Virginia as a bellwether for what would come in the 2024 election. One year after Biden won the state, … Read more
New Hampshire has been doing something crazy. Lowering taxes. Business taxes have systematically been reduced for years. Small. Incremental. Persistent. Drew Cline wrote a piece debunking the lies that this harmed New Hampshire somehow. The Republican Legislature also repealed the state’s only tax on income (we don’t have a traditional income tax on individual wages) … Read more
On Monday morning, Kamala Harris took a few minutes to address the Trump Rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night. Harris told reporters that the event proved what she had been preaching for three months. She saw the gathering of supporters as Trump’s fixation on grievances and himself and on dividing the country. This … Read more
AI and robotics are growing by leaps and bounds. We’re certainly seeing it permeate marketplaces, take jobs, and become ever-more dominant in today’s thinking. For example, even before Bill Bates-of-Hell and his statements about using AI to combat “misinformation”…

we see this in information curation and presentation:
The day after the Burlington Free Press published its Safest State story about Vermont, the UK Daily Mail dropped a bomb on Burlington: “The idyllic northeastern state being ravaged by drugs, crime, and homelessness: ‘People don’t feel safe.‘“ I missed it when writing about the former, though I did point out the latter. We’ve been observing the … Read more
As Vice President Kamala Harris slips in the polls, the Democratic National Committee/Harris campaign/mainstream media fusion talking points become even more absurd. Claiming that J.D. Vance and Donald Trump were “weird” did not work — especially given the genuinely odd behavior of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and would-be First Gentleman Doug Emhoff. Nor was … Read more
