From harvest to storage: the technology making small farms more self-sufficient 

26 min 4 sec ago

For generations, small farms have run on tradition, experience, and long days in the field. But the gap between a small operation and a large industrial one has always come down to one thing:  resources. Big farms can afford big investments justified by working on big volumes, while small farms need to do with what ... Read more

MACDONALD: Let’s Look At The “Pro AI” Outside Money

8 hours 55 min ago

I have done more than my due diligence to expose the cadre of dark-side anti-AI influence surrounding the data center debate. What I have yet to do, and am rectifying today, is talk about the people and money on the pro-AI side. It is only fair that you know who is paying for the positive ... Read more

UNDERWOOD: NH’s Long Math Problem

Wed, 2026-09-09 21:00 +0000

New Hampshire has a math problem. In 2026, about 62% of New Hampshire’s 11th graders met the state’s proficiency standard in reading. In math, only 30% did. That gap is hard to ignore. But high school isn’t where the story begins. The Gap Begins Earlier New Hampshire’s statewide assessments tell an interesting story. In the ... Read more

CARDELLO: The Left Has the Wrong Meaning of 9/11

Wed, 2026-09-09 18:00 +0000

I watched and listened intently to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Facebook reel where he talks about his thoughts on the tragedy of 9/11. Mamdani is a lousy mayor, but a great actor. You can almost hear sincerity in his tone and words, but knowing what he has said in the past and what ... Read more

Hansen: Former Candidate Running In A Different Kind Of Campaign

Wed, 2026-09-09 14:00 +0000

Many VDC readers know me through my 2020 campaign for Lieutenant Governor, my time as president of the Ethan Allen Institute, or my other work in Vermont’s political and policy spheres. Today, I would like to tell you about an initiative that carries deep personal significance for me. RISE supports survivors of sexual violence – ... Read more

Morning Update: Wiped Out

Wed, 2026-09-09 11:00 +0000

Today on the Morning Update, we revisit a classic. Pocket-sized climate catastrophist turned Hamas spokesmuppet, Greta “Floatilla” Thunberg, might be a little bit less climate Marxist and a little bit more muslim apologist (Marxist), but she’s on the hook for how wrong she’s been, and it’s still hilarious.

CARDELLO: Would Anyone Pay Attention to Paul Revere Today

Wed, 2026-09-09 09:00 +0000

It was a dark night on April 18, 1775, and the path was lonely and dangerous as Paul Revere mounted his horse in the little town of Lexington outside Boston. He rode through the woods and small hamlets on small roads lit only by the moon to let the good people of Massachusetts, including the ... Read more

OPINION: New Hampshire’s AI Law Needs a Delegated-Power Test

Wed, 2026-09-09 02:00 +0000

New Hampshire has already made an important choice about artificial intelligence. Under RSA 5-D, when a state-agency AI system produces a recommendation or decision that cannot be reversed once implemented, a responsible human must review it before it takes effect. The law specifically points to rights, biometric identification, critical infrastructure, law enforcement, and legal interpretation as ... Read more

CLINE: No, New Hampshire Does Not Have The Fourth-Highest Lifetime Tax Burden

Wed, 2026-09-09 00:00 +0000

During the past week, New Hampshire progressives have gleefully shared an internet post that ranks New Hampshire fourth in the nation in “lifetime taxes” paid.  The analysis itself is, to use the technical term, bogus. The social media treatment of it is even worse.  On social media, “lifetime taxes paid” very quickly morphed into “lifetime ... Read more

MACDONALD: WMUR to The Rescue?

Tue, 2026-09-08 21:00 +0000

One of my superfans sent me a link to a conversation on WMUR between Fred Kocker and Brad Reynolds. The topic? “How New Hampshire ranks last in the U.S. for state support of public education with property taxpayers anteing up $7 of every $10 of cost.” The headline really sells it, though. “The Granite State ...

IMANI: My Breach With Islam

Tue, 2026-09-08 18:00 +0000

My breach with Islam started as far back as I could understand things. More to the point, I never embraced Islam in the first place, and I speak for many Iranians. My Early Life While I was born into a non-practicing Shiite Muslim family in Iran, as children, no one within the family forced Islam ... Read more

MACDONALD: The Lindsey Clancy Party

Tue, 2026-09-08 16:00 +0000

The Democrats have nothing to run on except the impossible, unicorn-like notion that if you elect them this time, they will do the opposite of everything they’ve ever done. No Democrat is going to make your life cost less; they are going to raise taxes and impose more regulations. No Democrat is going to reduce ... Read more

CARDELLO: Chris Pappas and The Other Half of New Hampshire

Tue, 2026-09-08 14:00 +0000

I moved to New Hampshire from Massachusetts 45 years ago because the Granite State was a solid red state then and more aligned with my conservative beliefs. The state has evolved, like so many red states have, to purple and even blue as people move in for a better quality of life. Many of these ... Read more

ROPER: New York’s Vermont-Clone “Climate Superfund” Shot Down by Obama Judge

Tue, 2026-09-08 09:00 +0000

Vermont’s Big Oil shakedown should meet a similar fate. Another (BIG) one bites the dust. New York, like Vermont, passed a Climate Superfund law back in 2024 in hopes of making “Big Oil pay” for damage these doom-and-gloomers allege is caused by our burning fossil fuels to survive winter, do our jobs, transport ourselves from ...

PAGE: Dems Race To Protect Their Union Cash Cow

Tue, 2026-09-08 02:00 +0000

Democrats and their union allies are racing to constitutionalize their power base with Vermont’s Prop 3. This amendment would lock the right to organize, join unions, and force collective bargaining into the state constitution while explicitly banning any future right-to-work laws. In plain terms: once it’s in, no legislature can ever make union membership optional or stop ... Read more
