Yesterday, Jeff Childers fisked an article of unknown date of origin that asked the question in the headline. Why didn’t you warn us? Please put down any beverage before reading this excerpt. While well intending citizens lined up, did the right thing, and received their COVID19 vaccinations — now seeming to do more harm than … Read more
Fentanyl is the number one cause of death for young people from 18-49. I challenge you to find one situation where the Biden administration put any pressure on Mexico or China to stop the scourge created by this “Made in China” killer. I’ll be patient waiting, but you will not find one. In the four-year … Read more
Marxism and its advocates are notoriously violent, and we can trace that tendency back to Sergey Nechayev. His 1869 pamphlet, The Revolutionary Catechism, explicitly advocates exterminating everything to replace it with Marxism. The only form of revolution beneficial to the people is one which destroys the entire State to the roots and exterminates all the state traditions, … Read more
As I have noted in past observations of the Commission on the Future of Public Education in Vermont, this collection of special interest group lobbyists has no real desire to solve the property tax/education finance crisis facing Vermonters today. Their objective, quite to the contrary, is to keep the money flowing unhindered and unquestioned into … Read more
Americans ought to ask, who is pulling the strings of President Biden who has instigated war with Putin? Ruining our Thanksgiving by firing 6 American made missiles at Russia, all but one intercepted; that one hitting a munitions target. Now, the threat of escalation looms. We’d like to thank Russ for his op-ed. Send yours … Read more
Every now and again, I wander over to one or the other of the local (college) student newspapers. These things are treasure troves of material, and it’s been a while since I did. With Thanksgiving on our doorstep, I went fishing for woke BS. I didn’t find any, which was disappointing. There were no Friendsgiving … Read more
Often, the tactics of the enemy are plain to see. This is the case with a repetitive Thanksgiving Day query that simply is a brazen attempt to erase one American day of thankfulness and family unity. Rather than allowing recognition of this special occasion as a reflection back to America’s beginnings and humble acknowledgements to … Read more
There are many ways to measure diversity. In the case of Joe Biden, he filled his cabinet and staff like a crayon box. He wanted to be surrounded by as many different colors, genders, and sexual persuasions as possible to make his team the most diverse administration in history. Biden succeeded by his standards, but … Read more
Remember when Republican NH House Rep Shawn Jaspar made a deal with the Democrats to get the Speaker’s gavel? Not a Republican best-moment in House History. Well, guess what? Rep. Kim Rice has been meeting with Democrat minority leaders to get their votes to do something similar. I’m not sure what that deal looks like, but … Read more
A few weeks ago I received a call from a journalist who wanted to talk about the safe spaces in college campuses around the country. She was trying to figure out why so many college students did not have coping skills to handle the outcome of the election. As we began to chat, we talked … Read more
RINOs are often the topic of much chatter in circles among the Grok readership, and here we are, just a few weeks after an election. On 9/29/21, future Rep Kelley Potenza called the Damn Emperor a “fake Republican” when Adam Sexton interviewed her at St A’s. Why do I keep referencing that sound byte? First, … Read more
Isn’t it amusing the way Democrat Governors discover State’s rights, Federalism, and Nullification when it suits them? They are not inviolable rights but pieces to be played. It was expected, of course, and they have delivered (again). The governors of Illinois, California, Colorado, and Massachusetts, as well as mayors in cities like Denver and Boston, … Read more
Mark Cuban is a man who has far more money than smarts. He is used to having his foot in his mouth, but because he is a brash billionaire, he could care less about what the everyday American thinks about him or his ill-thought words. Cuban made one of the most ridiculous comments of the … Read more
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have indicated they desire longtime prominent liberty and limited government advocate Ron Paul to be involved with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that President-elect Donald Trump last week charged Musk and Ramaswamy with running. DOGE is expected to have as a primary objective eliminating at least two trillion dollars of yearly United States government … Read more
For the sake of argument, let’s agree that people inclined to ignore the law will. Let us also consider that if you want to shoot someone or a bunch of them, the best possible locations are ones where you know you’ll have a significant force advantage. It, therefore, follows that any act of government that … Read more
A weekly look at Vermont and New Hampshire politics: This week, it’s energy, carbon, NH’s weird Election results, Policing in the shadow of BLM, Crime, gun bans, and more.
The Left, politicians and media alike, are apoplectic about Donald Trump’s selection for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. The criticisms are directed at both Trump and Hegseth. Trump is taking shots for not nominating one of the many generals taking up space in the Pentagon waiting to be called to run the show. There are … Read more
Fortunately for the American taxpayers, some members of the incoming Congress have recently indicated a desire to conduct a long-overdue critical examination of the taxpayer subsidies for National Public Radio (“NPR”). A modicum of research will likely conclude that a significant portion of NPR’s financial support comes from the taxpayers via the Corporation for Public … Read more
I have undertaken a Petition to the United States Supreme Court on behalf of the Politella family. I do not normally practice law. This is how I got involved. When I first read about the Vermont Supreme Court’s decision in Politella v. Windham Supervisory Union et al, I was shocked that any court would deprive … Read more
Any minute now, the same metoo movement that ignored Joe Biden’s sexual assault of Democrat Tara Reade and Kamala’s abusive cheating man-wife will lash out in defense of women at this latest outrage. Kidding! They can’t! There’d be too much outrage, so what’s the trouble? Transport Police in the UK have been granted permission for … Read more
