As a matter of public policy, if the Democrat party is behind something, it is probably bad for women and children, minorities, individual rights, human dignity, liberty, individual responsibility, taxes, education, or the future. Whatever they call it, it does the opposite or something radically tangential to its advertised purpose. I was reminded of this … Read more
In 2016, our Irasburg farm was visited by a Vermont Agency of Agriculture agent who informed me it was illegal for me to sell halves of beef.

While I agree with the late Tom Anderson, who said with a distinct Southern drawl, “Debating a liberal is as futile as putting talcum powder on a hog,” I occasionally do so. Not that I think that my reason and logic will change the mind of a liberal, but for others who may be reading or listening. … Read more
Herbert Hoover forged the program that fed a starving Europe after World War I. Many believe that success is what brought him to his ill-fated presidency. After WW II, FDR’s advisors strongly advised him not to bring Hoover into his administration to solve the starvation going on in Europe. FDR’s position was Hoover was dead … Read more

Concurrently with the development of a global consortium of corporations targeting population growth through food supplies, parallel UN and other conferences and organizations have advocated for increased public land ownership as a necessary precursor to preventing climate change, famine, biodiversity loss, etc. The reverberations of Kissinger’s creepy 1974 Population Report are visible in the UN’s … Read more
“Act worthy of yourselves.”That’s how the great patriot and Revolutionary War hero Dr. Joseph Warren urged the people to commemorate the Boston Massacre, which happened today in history – March 5, 1770.

I’m not certain why we still have a US Department of Agriculture. To pay farmers not to grow stuff. To grow some stuff instead of other stuff. To kill healthy chickens so they don’t get bird flu (farmers get nothing if the birds die on their own, or so I hear). It also wastes millions … Read more

States that tried to regulate any aspect were dragged into court. The moment Trump 1.0 led by that example to close … Read more
