ROPER: Democrats Have a Rural Voter Problem, and Clinging to Act 181 Won’t Help

8 hours 6 min ago

I read the Vermont Democrats’ post-mortem report following their 2024 election debacle, in which Republicans picked up 19 House seats, 6 Senate seats, and the lieutenant governorship (the first time an incumbent LTG was ousted from office since 1815), ending their supermajority status in both chambers. The key insight in the document leaves me wondering ... Read more

OPINION: Reparations for ‘Slavery’

15 hours 6 min ago

Should America, or the United States government, pay reparations to African Americans for slavery? I answer emphatically NO! First off, it is illegal; where in the Constitution did we delegate authority to the federal government to make amends for past transactions against specific groups? And where does it have the ability to punish the children ... Read more

MACDONALD: Young and Dumb & Socialism

Tue, 2026-03-24 21:00 +0000

The anti-free speech numbers for younger folks are bad. A majority (55%) are uncomfortable, meaning they are already well on their way to the world of thought-crime. 7 in 10 think some speech is the equivalent of actual violence. Hate speech is a thing, and they are not uncomfortable letting someone in a position of ... Read more

ORTOLANO: Part II – Nashua Arts Center; The Agreement That Tied It All Together

Tue, 2026-03-24 16:00 +0000

If the City of Nashua and its three “independent” arts center corporations were truly separate, you would expect them to act that way when legal trouble arrived. They didn’t. Instead, they entered into a Confidentiality and Common Legal Interest Agreement, a joint defense pact that allowed them to operate as a single, coordinated legal unit while ... Read more

CARDELLO: Nancy Guthrie Just Got Too boring

Tue, 2026-03-24 14:00 +0000

So, the networks dumped her like a hot potato. I wrote weeks ago, and Nancy Guthrie has been missing for seven weeks now, that I thought it was wrong to devote so much of a network’s news time to a victim. This woman, who nobody in America would have ever heard of, was supposedly kidnapped ... Read more

Tue, 2026-03-24 11:00 +0000

Today, on the Morning Update, elected Democrats are the only ‘group’ opposed to ID to vote, but they are fine with requiring ID for all sorts of things, and in Connecticut, Democrats don’t want you to produce an ID to vote, but you will need ID for this. And yes, I say Tuesday, March 23rd, ... Read more

MCGUIRE: Your State House – March 20th, 2026

Tue, 2026-03-24 09:00 +0000

This week, the Finance committee met to recommend 29 bills to the House. We did 20 before lunch, then settled in on the more difficult ones.

KLAR: ICE Turns Its Attention to Sanctuary State Vermont

Tue, 2026-03-24 02:00 +0000

Most Americans don’t realize it, but Vermont has become quite progressive. Even some liberal Californians who moved to Vermont have remarked how much more extreme the Green Mountain State is today compared to the land of Gavin Newsom.

MACDONALD: Something for a Monday Afternoon

Mon, 2026-03-23 21:00 +0000

Sundays are odd days for me. I know, it’s Monday, and Monday is why Sunday is weird. I have a part-time Monday through Friday job, and I have some other side-gig work that all falls under the umbrella of GROK MEDIA, LLC, but GraniteGrok is the 7/365 gig. Not 24/7, but definitely 5-7/7/365 and depending ... Read more

CARDELLO: Are the Democrats Waiting for a Major Incident Before They Come to Their Senses

Mon, 2026-03-23 18:00 +0000

I have admitted my mistake or misjudgement enough times, but one more may be in order. I thought it was a travesty when John Fetterman ran for the Senate to represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and that was before he had a stroke. I saw him as an uneducated individual who had little respect for ... Read more

ORTOLANO: Private Corporations or City Hall by Another Name? The Records Behind Nashua’s Arts Center

Mon, 2026-03-23 14:00 +0000

When the City of Nashua created three shell corporations to build and manage the Nashua Performing Arts Center, the public was told they were private and therefore off-limits. Private corporations, the argument went, meant private records. Private records meant the public had no right to see how decisions were being made. But the documents tell a ... Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, a Blue State Democrat governor announced this week that she will fight for lower energy costs, meaning she will pretend to try and slow her party’s deliberate economy-crushing cost hike, at least until she knows she’s still the governor.
