The words “Body positivity” is a lot like “climate change.” The climate is always changing, and at certain times in Earth’s four-billion-ish history, it was more or less hostile to life, including ours. These days are no different. I woke up to a sunny forecast and mild temps with no rain predicted, only to find … Read more

I just read, I think, the most important op-ed to appear anywhere in Vermont this year. It is by Shawn Tester, CEO of Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital, and it is about school choice. Why is a healthcare guy writing about the importance of school choice? Because access to school choice and a variety of independent … Read more
Here’s How to Finally Own Your Body Again This week on The Independents, with Caral Gericke, if you’re a homeowner, a parent, or someone who just wanted to do the right thing during COVID, this one’s for you. You masked up. You got the shots. You worried about Grandma. You trusted the authorities. Like millions … Read more
Nashua’s “tag line,” nickname, whatever you want to call it, is the Gate City. Narcissistic, Machiavellian, psychopathic Mayor Jim Donchess has repurposed the word ‘gate’ to mean ‘locked,’ thereby turning welcome openness into locked, inaccessible territory. You can come spend money at the Mall or avoid taxes all over the city as a retail tourist … Read more
I didn’t want to jump into the ‘data center’ fight because it’s typical for those on the left to be ignorant and uninformed. It’s how the left rolls, so I wasn’t going to waste much time, but I couldn’t remain silent when I saw so many on the supposed ‘right’ begin to mutter the same … Read more

Far be it from me to tell someone when to retire. I am 72 years old and just starting a bookkeeping service. But there are certain jobs that people want to hold onto forever, and they really should make room for younger people and fresher talent. Here are the 5 oldest members of Congress, their … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, remember the death panel narrative during the ObamaCare days? Compassionate government regulators and public health officials would never deny care, even after Obama said some folks would just get a pill. “Death panels” are real. The public health murder cult is real, just not in America, not yet. 00:00 Remember … Read more
The Debt Service section of the City of Nashua’s FY2027 Budget raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability. When residents review a city budget, they reasonably expect to see a complete and accurate picture of the debt obligations for which Nashua taxpayers are ultimately responsible. Unfortunately, the FY2027 presentation does not meet that standard. On … Read more
The United States is rapidly heading toward a future that will require a decision from political authorities and elites of all types. The choice will be between peaceful radical decentralization—possibly including secession—on the one hand. On the other hand will be a ratcheting up of coercion and enforced “unity” to ensure political centralization. The speed … Read more
The handmaiden media doesn’t want you to know this. The Democrats have a massive enthusiasm gap compared to Republicans. The media won’t air any of the Left’s laundry, but there’s a lot of it, and it’s dirty. Based on the most recent FEC filings, Republicans and allies have raised an historic $939 million ahead of … Read more
When a senator claims the House killed a bill out of spite, the charge deserves an answer — not because the grievance is interesting, but because the truth is different, and the difference matters. The story broke on the X platform, following an allegation from Senator Sullivan. The House, it was said, sank the Senator’s … Read more
For many, it is difficult to imagine the scope of the ongoing fraud. Not just what we know was stolen recently, but in total. The sums are vast and well beyond the understanding of many. How could so many steal so much for so long and go unnoticed? Even a mostly corruptocracy, eager to spend … Read more
Anthony Iafrate Editor’s note: This piece was published before Paxton beat Cornyn, or that would be on this list. With Election Day just over five months away, the 2026 midterm election cycle has already seen a wide range of stunning upsets at the ballot box. At the time of publication, 16 states have held primary … Read more
Liberal big cities and states have backed themselves into a corner with out-of-control spending for social programs they do not need and not enough tax dollars to fund bloated budgets, creating massive fiscal deficits. The federal government has been a poor example for these progressive enclaves, consistently overspending and creating a deficit in the trillions … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, there’s been a lot of attention paid to the problem of tick bites and ER visits this spring. It’s got people riled up and worried, and depending on where you look, it’s an apocalypse caused by everything from climate change to a manufactured outbreak. Guess what? It’s neither. 00:00 Introduction … Read more
As the Senate Majority Leader, believe it or not, Senator John Thune has allowed the Democrats to control the Senate agenda. You say, how can that be? While most Americans have never heard of the unelected Senate Parliamentarian, this person controls the voting agenda and terms of Senate bills that our elected U.S. Senators are … Read more
We’re surrounded by redcoats. They might not be part of King George’s military, but their mindset, what they support, and what they’re willing to impose, is everywhere. The founders didn’t just fight an army. They fought a long, bloody war to secede from a system built on a set of views they considered as a … Read more
