A WMUR headline story ran yesterday afternoon about the closure of the Queen City Bridge (QCB) in Manchester.  Readers with no ties to Manchester might not care about the QCB because it’s “out of sight, out of mind,” so to speak, but I’ll explain why everyone should pay attention.  No sound-minded person would want a ...

Before any Vermonters vote on a constitutional amendment that makes it impossible to avoid the corrosive cultural rot of union power, check this out. The National Education Association Vermont chapter also asserts that the state’s public school teachers must acknowledge the nation’s “white supremacy culture” as responsible for “white privilege” that is “conferred irrespective of ...

The leftist American Press, including CNN, MSN, and Politico, demands its First Amendment right to lie, prevaricate, dissemble, and fabricate!   When the Founding Fathers included Freedom of the Press in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, they believed that deliberate lies, defamation, libel, and incitement to illegal acts were not ...

Gordon MacDonald should never have been the AG. He lied on his application to the Supreme Court as well.

A true understanding of the right/left model of politics is critical and rarely taught properly. As I noted in Same Thing Here, If We Allow It, “National Socialism is left-wing, and barely to the right of Communism.” The key is real tolerance and diversity of thought. “The less freedom a system has, the more left-wing ...

The internet has made publishing cheap, immediate, and almost frictionless.

There’s a familiar moment with an ageing computer. You click on a program, wait, click again because you’re not sure anything happened, then watch two copies open at once.

The proposed Constitutional Amendment, Proposal 3, that Vermonters will vote on this election began its journey in 2023 as part of the Democrat Supermajority’s radical, all-you-can-pass smorgasbord of policy-payoffs-to-special-interests agenda, along with the Clean Heat Standard, Renewable Energy Standard, the new pre-K payroll tax, Act 181, etcetera.
