The UK’s Royal College of Psychiatrists (RC Psych) has taken an unusual position on an Assisted Dying Bill before parliament. Unlike many in the US and Canada, the RC Psych has chosen to be cautiously neutral while disagreeing with politicians and advocates that this is the ultimate expression of empathy. When people are miserable, particularly … Read more
Many readers already know, but if you’re late for dinner, I’ll tell you now. HB361 was on the Senate Consent Calendar and should have been a smooth sail through the body yesterday, but Regina the Masker had to put a monkey wrench into the process. This is NOT the first time she has killed or … Read more
My family of numerous lineages have been farmers here in Vermont. My father’s mother grew up and worked hard on a dairy farm in Sheldon Falls. My mother grew up on the farm near where I now live — the Stoddard farm, which is one of the founding family farms here in Brookfield. My Mom’s … Read more

There’s a battle going on right now in our neighboring state of Illinois concerning the Illinois Homeschool Act. This Act takes the current minimal oversight of homeschoolers in Illinois and places families at risk of violation by state-appointed truant officers right in their homes. The bill would require parents to file a homeschool declaration form as well … Read more
Now that he is running for the US Senate, a position for which it is difficult to unseat even the most despicable liberal scold, Chris Pappas, has invited more scrutiny. As a member of Congress, he can and has done plenty of damage, but the size of the US House dilutes the potential harm. He’d … Read more
Republicans have allowed Democrats to take a victory lap on President Donald Trump’s first days in office. It seems like a broken record to say that Republicans are great at writing statements and even better at doing nothing, but that perfectly sums up their work over the last 100 days as the majority party. While Trump has … Read more
New Hampshire is the only state in the Northeast other than Maine that is NOT a Sanctuary State, but it did not strictly prohibit towns or cities from pretending they were. This amounted to local political pressure to dissuade peace officers from assisting federal immigration enforcement, particularly with detention retainers. In practice, this produces two … Read more
In his 11/19/21 speech to an angry crowd following that famous unfortunate Chuck Morse vote, Senator Giuda, who voted correctly, said, “money is the mother’s milk” (of campaigns). We know that there are “haves” and “have-nots,” but it’s not just that dichotomy, I would say it’s more like a Punnett Square because there are those … Read more
Maybe. HB231, prohibits “school district personnel from transporting students to medical or mental health appointments, visits, or procedures without parental consent.” Governor Ayotte signed the bill into law, requiring school districts to adopt policies, so yes, it is law, but what exactly are the consequences? This bill requires school districts to create a policy prohibiting … Read more
President Donald Trump’s decision to retire the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has sparked debate across policy circles. Yet, a close examination of USAID’s operational history—its ineffectiveness in achieving economic development, lack of transparency, and its entanglement with politically-connected contractors—reveals that the decision is not only justified but overdue. Coupled with the testimony of … Read more
The White House tried to hoodwink America for four years with the aid and comfort of a media landscape hell-bent on gaslighting rather than exposing the conspiracy. Who was running the country is still a mystery, but we know that the man portraying the president was a shell of a man and an absent leader. … Read more
In his first trip abroad, President Trump spoke in Saudi Arabia about the foolish destructiveness of the neocons and nation-builders and proclaimed a new era of respect for national sovereignty and economic development. Does this mean that non-interventionism has finally arrived? Ron Paul Institute Authors’ opinions are their own and may not represent those of … Read more
After years of bullying reported by parents in Seabrook, the problem will not go away until Seabrook residents fork over more money in taxes. That’s the message coming from some of the school board members and administrators. When parents have spoken before the school board about their children who’ve been bullied in school, some board … Read more
Thankfully, there will never come a time when Democrats or their media homonculi are capable of holding their tongues when Donald Trump speaks. So incapable are they that memes pop up regularly suggesting that if Donald Trump supported something Democrats have long insisted was their issue, they’d reject it ‘cuz Trump. I won’t challenge the … Read more
Funding schools that prepare citizens for success should be a no-brainer “Some critics of religious charter schools complain that taxpayer dollars shouldn’t fund religious education. But they don’t object to taxpayers being forced to fund the leftist indoctrination that permeates so many government-run schools. Such one-sided complaints show that these critics aren’t concerned for taxpayers … Read more
I just received this today, so apologies for the short notice. That’s all I have, sorry – and there are no additional details on the website. 4pm. UNH Law in Concord.
More propaganda for the rainbow of fake grievances. Despite widespread rejection of the incessant, divisive toxicity of an ever-growing rainbow of perceived grievances, social justice con artists scour the dogmatic universe for more faux causes to fuel their platforms. A recent example is the laughable-if-offensive effort to transform the phrase “food deserts” into “food apartheid.” … Read more
Vermont has passed a law that allows the state attorney general to fine pregnancy care centers up to $10,000.00 for “advertising” the AG deems misleading. That’s the intent. Pro-Abortion Democrats passed a muzzle bill in 2023 to intimidate pregnancy care centers to the benefit of abortion clinics, but it didn’t work. Not exactly. It was … Read more
Julie Smith recently wrote a piece for Granite Grok about my white paper for AIER entitled “Unbundling Zoning.” She badly misinterpreted the paper, made false accusations, and even got the main thesis exactly backwards. Here’s the proof. Smith: “Sorens calls zoning useless, unjust, and irrational and explains why.” FALSE. These are the claims I’m responding … Read more
