MacDonald: Just Call Her ‘Sue Me’ Sandy Cortez

I get it. Being bombastic, hyperbolic, and a bit edgy with the verbiage can be attractive to an audience overwhelmed with milqetoast political dumbfuckery. See what I did there? From Marjorie Taylor Greene to Jasmine Crockett, we’ve seen the rise of old-school political banter. It’s not uncivil, it was, in fact, common during the nation’s … Read more

MacDonald: Ten Thousand More ICE Agents

…The Left, Crime, and Punishment Crime and Punishment. No, not the epic story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, I’m thinking along parallel but different lines. Our protagonists, the Democrat party leadership, perpetuate evil and think themselves extraordinary, but they simultaneously serve as the antagonists in the stories of many others. The Dems and their narrative mules are … Read more

Cardello: Do We Need To Know Who Is On The List

The Jeffrey Epstein Client List is a complex subject for me to write about because I am not sure which side of the scale I fall on. Do I need to know who the men were who ventured to Epstein’s Island to satisfy their warped fetish for young girls, or does it really matter in … Read more

Roper: The Coming Politics of Mega-School Districts

The so-described education reform law, Act 73, is in effect. Its first order of business, creating a Vermont Redistricting Task Force, is done, and now said Task Force is getting down to its task of drawing up at least three maps of new mega-school districts for the legislature to consider next year, scrapping our current … Read more

Klar: Are Weight Loss Drugs Worth the Costs and Risks?

Helping people with eating disorders is a laudable goal, but there remain unknown health risks associated with a clutch of new weight loss drugs, and significant costs. Ozempic was developed initially (and FDA-approved in 2005) for the treatment of life-threatening diabetes. Wegovy was approved by the FDA on March 8, 2024, to treat obese or … Read more

Imani: Trump’s BBB triumph

The Big Beautiful Bill is no timid policy nudge — it’s a full-throttle revolution, slashing taxes, unshackling industry, and igniting the American dream with a fire that’ll burn for generations. This bill is a love letter to workers, farmers, and patriots. It’s Trump’s promise kept. This bill is a tax-cutting juggernaut that slashes rates for … Read more

Smith: Urban Government “Customer Service” vs. Rural

On the heels of much internet chatter regarding increased vehicle registration fees, presumably in exchange for abolishing the sticker tax, a few things inspired me to revisit an article I wrote 11 months ago.  They were a recent property tax due date, followed by Beth Scaer posting a picture of her ready-to-mail payment envelope (not … Read more

Rhodes: Administrative Arrogance and Soft Tyranny

HB25, the 2025 Capital Improvement Appropriations Act, is New Hampshire’s latest example of government abandoning its rightful role to play investor, developer, and dispenser of taxpayer-funded favors. On its face, the bill looks like any other biennial capital budget—allocating $137.6 million from the General Fund to fix buildings, patch roads, and upgrade facilities. But once … Read more

MacDonald: Welfare Queen

From the “found in the inbox” files, some text and a TikTok from a reasonably young lady who not only doesn’t want to work, but also says she has no idea how. I don’t want to work. I told her she is not going to take my food stamps, she is not going to take … Read more

Klar: Supreme Court Decision on Parental Rights Goes Beyond Education

In yet another bombshell decision for its 2025 term, the US Supreme Court ruled on June 27 that Maryland unconstitutionally burdened the religious exercise of parents by using schoolbooks in the classroom about gay relationships and trans identities that threatened to undermine family religious beliefs while denying them an opportunity to opt out. The ruling … Read more
