Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were a gaffe-machine team with a side of word salad. We had no idea what Joe Biden was saying most of the time, and neither did he. Behind the scenes, there was always a team listening to Joe speak, and often, they put out corrections or explanations to the press … Read more
“First in the Nation” One thing I learned living in Uruguay in the 1980s — after the fall of the CIA-backed military dictatorship — is that the agency likes small countries where it can operate through a local tight-knit familial network. Torture and clandestine activities, in the right, trusted hands, are “as American as apple pie.” … Read more
A recent J.P. Morgan Report that undocumented immigrants may be ramping up US housing demand dovetails ironically with claims in “sanctuary states” that more illegal immigrants are necessary to construct more houses.

Let’s be honest with ourselves! Suppose any of us were among the wealthiest people in the world. Would our first prerogative be to endanger our life to save a country in which 40% of 350 million citizens suffer from a derangement syndrome that mainstream media coddles, agitates, and promotes? This pernicious hatred of President Trump … Read more
A Yale study that includes research and researchers from around the United States has concluded what many a knuckle-dragging deplorable understood for several years. The vaccine was causing long-term, symptoms blamed on the virus. In this study, we examined symptoms and circulating immune factors and cell typesassociated with chronic illness following COVID-19 vaccination. Post-acute conditions … Read more
When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky quickly became a global symbol of resistance. Celebrated as a heroic leader standing up against a powerful foe, he appeared on television screens worldwide, calling for support and unity in the face of the Russian threat. However, beneath this image of a brave … Read more
Controversy over efforts to reduce fraud in the federal government roils daily headlines: the latest kerfuffle concerns lay-offs of “Epidemic Intelligence Service officers,” or “disease detectives,” as the EIS calls them on its website.

Rebuttal to Steven Gordon: The state isn’t welcome in my deathbed Like Steven Gordon, I spent almost five hours at the State House earlier this month listening to testimony supporting and opposing HB 254. Two of my three children who have experienced suicidal ideation testified. Supporters like Steve call this bill “the End of Life … Read more
It’s been 23 days since we first published our article on the (apparently) missing $169,000 from the Committee to Elect House Republican PAC (CTEHR). It has been 71 days since whistleblowers reported filing complaints about the mis-reporting. As a reminder, the PAC is Chaired by Majority Leader Jason Osborne, its Treasurer (or TINO, Treasurer in … Read more
So, Governor Ayotte is moving us down the road towards universal eligibility for Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs). Awesome! Now what will she do to move us towards universal eligibility for food stamps, and heating oil subsidies, and housing assistance? While I don’t need any of those subsidies, I would certainly like to have them. And … Read more
April 15th marks not only our annual “Tax Day” but also the 113th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. So, now is a propitious time to conflate the two events into a civics lesson involving our national survival. Titanic Captain Edward Smith and his officers knew well that dangerous icebergs loomed ahead of their ship. But … Read more
There was a miscommunication on our end. RSU did have an episode this week; we just didn’t get it in time to publish on schedule. This Week: “We discuss numerous bills that don’t address Vermont’s problems and bid farewell to Bill.” Please like, follow, or subscribe to The ‘Grok on Rumble and YouTube and check for Replays of Granite … Read more
I have always expressed concern over the environmental impact of so-called green energy solutions: the carbon footprints, emissions offshoring, cost, inability to compete without taxpayer support, high cost, and the pressure they put on electricity prices. Then there’s the environmental end-of-life costs and the industry and government indifference to creating EOL green superfund sites on … Read more
How could so many dimwits run such a successful scam for so long without being discovered? Especially in light of their salaries versus the mansions they have suddenly acquired! This should have provided all the proof required for a serious investigation. Could it be that what was originally deemed to be the government’s unofficial watchdogs … Read more
This morning I am seeing reports that Kash Patel will be named as acting head of the ATF. When? Oh, sometime next week. Probably. I think that would be a good thing, but as someone used to say, I’ll believe it when I see it. It reminded me that for a while now, it’s bothered … Read more
One of the largest recorded underwater volcanic eruptions (Jan 15, 2022) sent record amounts of water vapor into the Earth’s atmosphere. As the single biggest driver of warming (water vapor), the Earth’s surface was expected to heat up a bit in and for a while in the following months. The problem was that most of … Read more
Note: I just went to the Gilford School Board Meeting Minutes folder and discovered that the Meeting Minutes from the Feb 3rd meeting are missing. Why? It’s now 19 days later. And the School Board made some consequential policy changes due to a “Dear Colleague” letter that Superintendent Beitler received just before that meeting. They … Read more
You could put every ‘confirmed’ case of Bird Flu in the United States (in humans) on a Greyhound Bus. Fewer than 70 cases (68) out of a population of 340 million (ish). That’s 0.00002%. You’re more likely to get struck by lightning (1 in 15,300). And that’s just catching it. There have been no fatal … Read more
For four years, millions of illegal and unvetted people came from all over the globe to our southern border that Biden had replaced with a welcome mat. These illegal migrants (they became illegal the moment they crossed the Rio Grande and violated our sovereignty) are not all bad people, but they tried to come to … Read more
