That is good news when it permits a local taxpayer, a doctor with actual experience, or an independent researcher to put facts and arguments before the public without first obtaining permission from a national newsroom.

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. When simple tasks start taking longer than they used to, it’s easy to decide the computer has reached the end of its life. But “slow” doesn’t ... Read more

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.

Don Bolduc’s never-ending attacks against President Trump are monotonous: “Trump’s troubled second term boils down to leadership” Sept. 14).  Yet when he ran for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire in 2020 and 2022, you fully supported Donald Trump.  It’s easier to attack the remedy than to confront the reality. General Bolduc’s claim of the Trump ... Read more

Today on the Morning Update, whoever was running the Biden administration allowed thousands of foreign terrorists, some of them known, into the country.

Here is the fact that swallows the rest of the argument. No voting machine in any New Hampshire town hall has been examined to see whether it can reach the internet.

Carl Sagan never said it. Billions and Billions of stars. Not exactly. Not like that. But it became part of the collective consciousness for anyone who had seen Cosmos.

What’s the point in celebrating the Constitution one day a year if we permit the government to violate it the other 364?
