Today, on the Morning Update, as the midterms loom, it is more important than ever to understand that the Left’s COVID tyranny and the deployment of the so-called vaccines weren’t some one-time flex. That era didn’t create its model for one-party rule; it exposed it. [Transcript provided below] Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if … Read more

Many Vermont Democrats are giddy over the prospect of a genuinely competitive opponent to take on Phil Scott for the first time in 10 years: Aly Richards. All I can say is, it’s cute that you think that. While I’ll buy that Richards is likely to put up a better show than Esther Charlestin or … Read more

We’ve shared stories about cities, states, and nations forced to pay so-called renewable providers for this or that. Taxpayers paid subsidies to get them built, and subsidized them to make the price appear reasonable. Taxpayers pay extra in taxes, licensing, fees, fines, and the rest to feed that beast, on top of the price they … Read more
The Turkish Republic no longer functions as a sovereign state; it operates as a family-run arms bazaar. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has forged a throne out of shrapnel and drone circuitry, turning the machinery of war into a private ATM for his inner circle. Erdoğan has transformed Turkey from a mere NATO outpost into a global … Read more
I’m not sure what the East-Kingston and Kenisington School Boards want to keep hidden so badly, but they are spending a lot of tax dollars on legal fees to keep it that way. Taxpayers proposed a warrant article to create a non-taxpayer-funded committee to explore ways to save taxpayers’ money. The school budget is out … Read more
Washington has a choice this tax season: build on policies that are already driving business investment and wage growth or return to the uncertainty that has long held employers back. As millions of Americans finalize their tax returns, the real-world impact of recent pro-growth tax reforms is coming into focus and so is the risk … Read more
In a recent installment of the Morning Update, the subject was conversion therapy and the transgender agenda. I identified the issue as finding a path to align the mind with the body and the mind with the real world. That’s what you would do if your agenda were wellness and happiness, because it is incredibly … Read more

Maine missed the message, but that’s okay; it probably can’t get there from here. Americans, including some who live in blue states, are rejecting rank choice voting. I know, they call it ranked, but I call it rank, because it stinks. I know that because lots of Democrats want it, which means it is bad … Read more
Good morning, Senate Judiciary members (and all non-freshman Rs): I considered addressing all of you as “Enemies of 91A,” but thought better of it. Enclosed is an article about Hanover and the SC’s decision in the plaintiff’s favor. I’m sharing it to remind you that 91A issues are NOT just “a Nashua thing.” Team Red … Read more
Christianity Today recently published an article by Kristy Etheridge that was very critical of Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, something that would not be surprising, given the magazine’s evangelical Christian outlook on issues. The article—again, not surprisingly—dealt mostly with how many Christian groups, and especially the Roman Catholic Church, have spoken out against Canada’s program and … Read more

Regular readers have likely heard about the grant to OUTnewcomers in Boston. News spread faster than a wildfire set by a California homeless person.

If you are new … Read more
The purchase of Jetro Restaurant Depot by food mega-distributor Sysco has raised concerns (and eyebrows) that increasing concentration of market power in ever fewer hands threatens free markets and will contribute to food price inflation.
