Abenaki Chief “Interested in Reclaiming” Stolen Land™ Where Ben & Jerry’s Built Their Corporate Headquarters

Letting High School Kids Run for Local Public Office is a Democrat Smoke Screen for Lowering the Voting Age
The Democrat-majority Vermont Legislature is advancing a bill allowing anyone age sixteen and up to vote in local elections and run for elected office. The city of Brattleboro is asking, but I can’t imagine cities like Burlington taking a pass on this if it passes. But there are problems.
Oops! Proposed Law to Expand Unions Could Allow Employees to Skip Employer Diversity or Social Justice Training

Vermont Elementary School Removes Male and Female From Sex Ed Curriculum
Vermont continues to impress upon Americans that it is not the place to move to if you plan to raise a family. Rising taxes, rising crime, and cultural decline. It is spiraling downhill like the average Dem-Run city but with great views.

Tennessee Shooting: Fear Is the Goal
The shooting of three innocent children and three innocent faculty members at the Covenant Christian School in Nashville, TN, yesterday quickly became the top story in the news.

Bananas Guide To Living In A Banana Republic
Sic transit Gloria, as the saying goes.

Yesterday CNN’s Jake Tapper did a segment on the Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team choosing to forfeit rather than put their girls on the court against a team w’ith a 6’3” boy.

I Think It’s Time for Vermonters To Start a Yellow Vest Movement in Opposition to The Clean Heat Standard
Elected Democrats in Vermont must have short memories, or maybe they don’t care. The Legislature is advancing a climate bill to hike the cost of heating your home. France added a climate gas tax hike no one but elites wanted a few years ago that set the country on fire in protest.
Why Are Mexicans Crossing Illegally Into the US … From Canada (During Winter)
