For better or worse, the Vermont Legislature has not yet passed any bills into law this year.  The Senate last week passed two controversial anti-ICE bills. Both bills passed by a 27-2 roll call vote with only Sens. Russ Ingalls (R-Essex) and Terry Williams (R-Rutland) voting no. Both bills now move over to the Vermont ... Read more

I have been a fan and supporter of Marco Rubio since he entered the 2016 presidential race. I remember walking with Sharon through the streets of Concord, New Hampshire, on a very cold February night to hear the young candidate address his supporters after a disappointing showing in the NH primary. He was strong, took ... Read more

Just before I took off for a week’s family vacation, Senator Andrew Perchlik (D/P-Washington) held a press conference flanked by Secretary of State Sara Copeland Hanzas (D-VT) where they were handing out $10,000 and $5000 checks to a bunch of local media outlets. Oh, this is bad, I said to myself with some excitement. I’ve ... Read more

While our officials repeat the same mantra that ‘Islam is a religion’ of peace, and the great majority of Muslims are not a party to any plans and actions of radicals, the incantation of these “authorities” is the lullaby that puts most people to sleep in complacency.

It isn’t making news, probably because the left and its army of militant wine-moms, the toxic empathy army, is distracted by the paid-protester pay day in Minnesota. But that’s starting to wind down. And while there are plenty of opportunities for paid protesters to make “a living wage” by pretending to be angry about something ... Read more

Do y’all recall when Kelly Ayotte ran, successfully, for U.S. Senator in 2010? She ran as a hard-liner on Illegal Immigration. She promised a secure border and to oppose amnesty. She even wanted to make English the official language and end birthright citizenship. But by 2013, Ayotte was supporting “comprehensive immigration reform,” which is that ... Read more

The leadership of the House Ways & Means Committee wants nothing to do with allowing Vermonters to access a One Big Beautiful Bill tax credit that would give them a dollar-for-dollar return on money contributed to private school scholarships.

President Trump is the best president of my lifetime, but that doesn’t say much for the rest.

I realize not all of my readers are in Vermont, but the issue of a young student trying to bring intellectual light into Vermont’s progressively darkened schools is of national interest. It is shameful that there are many who want to allow only one political voice, including in public schools, often indoctrinating children into far-left ... Read more

If the government can dictate what must be injected into your body, then who really owns you? That’s the question vaccine mandates force us to confront. And it is a question our Constitution already answers: all government must be “instituted for the general good,” and sovereignty rests with the people, not with the state. New ... Read more

Not that long ago, right before someone decided there was political and cultural upside, the destructive variety, joking that you were really a lesbian trapped in a man’s body, was bad form.

Our national leaders are heading to recess. Like little school children, when the bell rings, they leave their work behind and head to the playground. Of course, their playground is fundraising and shoring up their base, while ignoring constituents who are unhappy with the job they’re doing. Admit it, there is no accountability for those ...
