JANZ: Are We LISTENING To Ourselves?

Tue, 2025-09-23 18:00 +0000

I recently posted an article on mental illness, and the bottom of the article made reference to crimes committed by those with mental illness. More important is the current discussion over the 1st Amendment and whether there are any restrictions on it, as well as what those restrictions might be. Also, whether the government does ...

“Nice guys avoid conflict like the plague and will go to great lengths to avoid upsetting anyone.” -Robert A. Glover Charlie Kirk was not a nice guy.

MACDONALD: Where Is The NH Seminary Funding Fairness Project?

Tue, 2025-09-23 11:00 +0000

A group called the New Hampshire School Funding Fairness Project got an idiot judge to rule that New Hampshire’s funding of special education is constitutionally insufficient. This echoes the Claremont rulings and Con Val, all of which are themselves unconstitutional demands by a branch of government with zero authority to speak on the issue. Courts ... Read more

KLAR: Charlie Kirk and the Crisis of Free Speech in America

Tue, 2025-09-23 02:00 +0000

 I met Charlie Kirk here in Vermont back in November of 2021, when he spoke at the uber-liberal University of Vermont in his “Exposing Critical Racism Tour.” Especially for such a young man, he was profoundly intelligent and confident, exhibiting a Christian faith and outspoken courage that was matched by humility and grace. He stayed ... Read more

GrokTALK!: Is This Why The Left is Afraid?

Tue, 2025-09-23 00:00 +0000

The left isn’t stupid; they’re crazy and increasingly not afraid to let you see it. And while the progressive movement’s leaders are concerned about Middle America getting too strong a whiff of that stench, it isn’t what they fear most. That’s our topic today on GrokTALK! Speakers’ opinions are their own and may not represent ... Read more

MACDONALD: Union Gets Uppity About #WOKE Teachers Getting Fired

Mon, 2025-09-22 21:00 +0000

In the wake of a rise in teacher firings (for celebrating a public execution), the Massachusetts Teachers Association is demanding that districts and colleges defend their educators. “The ongoing campaign by extreme-right conservatives to discredit and defund public education has grotesquely exploited the shooting death of Charlie Kirk to launch attacks against people commenting on ...

Mon, 2025-09-22 11:00 +0000

In case you missed it, a business owner named Kaili Lamb took to social media after Charlie Kirk was murdered to share her thoughts in the moment. “Sorry, not sorry what a (expletive) douche.” Before she could take it back, “…Lamb’s post quickly went viral — sparking outrage and prompting a flood of negative reviews ...

OPINION: Why They Must Go

Mon, 2025-09-22 02:00 +0000

I just finished reading a comment in response to a video about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and it got me thinking. This person was, reasonably, wondering about whether it is okay to fire an employee because they had celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death publicly. I had to wonder if we should go in the cancellation direction, so ... Read more

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has triggered a profound cultural and spiritual awakening across America, with conservatives recognizing the fundamental differences in values that can no longer be ignored.

ORTOLANO: When Emotion Replaces Judgment, Taxpayers Pay

Sun, 2025-09-21 21:00 +0000

On July 31, 2025, the Superior Court held a hearing on my motion to disqualify Corporation Counsel Steven Bolton and Deputy Corporation Counsel Celia Leonard from my cases. The issue wasn’t about winning a motion; it was whether two city lawyers, locked in years of conflict with a citizen critic, could still do the job “with ...

ROPER: When “Green” Is Not Sustainable

Sun, 2025-09-21 18:00 +0000

Seven Days ran an article recently about Vermont’s solar industry and the impact of federal cuts to the subsidies they’ve enjoyed for years. The headline authors called the cuts an “attack.” No, it’s not an attack. No private business is entitled to taxpayer funds to keep it afloat. Be grateful for what you got and ... Read more

NITZAKHON: More Links From my Jarhead Friend

Sun, 2025-09-21 16:00 +0000

I was very sad to learn that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated.  He had a way of asking questions that forced the liberals to confront their own hypocrisy, and THAT’S what made him effective (too effective for some on the left apparently).  The ONLY good side of that is a lot of the liberals are ...
