Currently, there is a delay of about 11 weeks between the time a Presidential election is concluded, and the time a new President is inaugurated. If recent events have taught us anything, it’s that this interval is at least nine weeks too long. Eleven weeks, apparently, is enough time for a lame duck President (or … Read more
President-elect Trump has nominated former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education. President-elect Trump promised that, if confirmed, Mrs. McMahon would “spearhead” the effort to “send education back to the states.” This has led some people to wonder if Linda McMahon may be the last Secretary of Education. The Constitution does not … Read more
Sometimes, words take on new meanings, and in other instances, meanings are thrust upon them. Some words have several meanings, like, say ‘Fly.’ It is a mode of transportation, a bothersome insect, and an important part of your apparel (pants in particular). I can’t speak any other language, but English has its fair share of … Read more
When he returns to the White House early next year, President-elect Donald Trump plans to appoint Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head a new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. While not an official federal department, the Administration’s plans for DOGE are similar to the Grace Commission under Ronald Reagan and the “Reinventing Government,” … Read more
Thankfully, this story will likely be published on Black Friday and not the day before. We wouldn’t want to give you indigestion, though that may be beyond our ability to control. It is a tale of tyrannical flavors from the Great White North, where a town was fined for refusing to “celebrate” Pride Month, eh? … Read more
Kamala Harris has been on vacation since she lost the election to President-elect Donald Trump on November 5. She has been basking in the Hawaiian sun and drowning her sorrow after being thoroughly embarrassed by a “convicted felon” over whom every expert told her that she had a massive lead. The election was hers to … Read more
Each year at this time, schoolchildren all over America are taught the official Thanksgiving story, and newspapers, radio, TV, and magazines devote vast amounts of time and space to it. It is all very colorful and fascinating. It is also very deceiving. This official story is nothing like what really happened. It is a fairy … Read more
Melinda “Mindy” Atwood, nominated for the position of New Hampshire state librarian by Gov. Chris Sununu, pushes the book ban myth, the American Library Association’s (ALA) weapon used to silence and humiliate anyone who objects to materials that sexualize children and push their radical agenda.

Those of us who remember the first few years of the Trump administration, circa 2017-2019, recall the nonstop abuse by the handmaiden media and their political enablers. But we had a fantastic economy, burgeoning world peace, and energy independence. It got so good that gobsmacked Democrats tried to give Barry Obama credit. None of the … Read more
The title intimates that I am concerned about Joe Biden’s actions on the global stage during his last two months in office, but that would presume he is in power. We all know that Biden is not in charge, but we cannot pinpoint exactly who is calling the shots for this Manchurian president. Whoever it … Read more
We’re not fans of fake meat. It isn’t better for the environment, and it isn’t better for you. But we won’t tell you not to buy or eat it. We will tell you that you are being fed lies, but knock yourself out if you don’t care or are comfortable with the fantasy. Eating fake meat is … Read more
Regardless of who won the 2024 election, America has multiple blessings to ponder this November. The motivation behind the Thanksgiving holiday originated in a spirit of gratitude and a unifying celebration of blessings rather than divisive rhetoric. Ironically, the fledgling country called the United States was anything but united when Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving a … Read more
In the United States and across the globe, a stark political divide has emerged not between left and right, but between outsiders and insiders. To a large extent, the 2024 election reflects an outsider revolt against elite misuse of institutions. Analysts and writers on both the left and the right have noticed this, though they … Read more
George Floyd overdosed and then died in police custody. Black Lives Matter rose from obscurity to lead a revolution (burning down black businesses and extorting money), and weak-kneed concerns, from insurance to sports teams to pancakes, rice, and dairy products, cleansed their brands of anything “brown person.” These casualties included the Mutual of Omaha Chief, … Read more
Donald Trump’s election victory is quickly taking the wind out of the Biden administration’s ambitious renewables initiatives. President-elect Trump promised to end federal subsidies for offshore wind projects on his first day in office. As with many of his campaign pledges, Americans wait to see whether he will deliver. Wind Turbines Fall in Popularity However, … Read more
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
