I just read, I think, the most important op-ed to appear anywhere in Vermont this year. It is by Shawn Tester, CEO of Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital, and it is about school choice. Why is a healthcare guy writing about the importance of school choice? Because access to school choice and a variety of independent ... Read more

Nashua’s “tag line,” nickname, whatever you want to call it, is the Gate City. Narcissistic, Machiavellian, psychopathic Mayor Jim Donchess has repurposed the word ‘gate’ to mean ‘locked,’ thereby turning welcome openness into locked, inaccessible territory. You can come spend money at the Mall or avoid taxes all over the city as a retail tourist ... Read more

I didn’t want to jump into the ‘data center’ fight because it’s typical for those on the left to be ignorant and uninformed. It’s how the left rolls, so I wasn’t going to waste much time, but I couldn’t remain silent when I saw so many on the supposed ‘right’ begin to mutter the same ... Read more

Today, on the Morning Update, remember the death panel narrative during the ObamaCare days? Compassionate government regulators and public health officials would never deny care, even after Obama said some folks would just get a pill. “Death panels” are real. The public health murder cult is real, just not in America, not yet. 00:00 Remember ... Read more

The Debt Service section of the City of Nashua’s FY2027 Budget raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability. When residents review a city budget, they reasonably expect to see a complete and accurate picture of the debt obligations for which Nashua taxpayers are ultimately responsible.

The United States is rapidly heading toward a future that will require a decision from political authorities and elites of all types. The choice will be between peaceful radical decentralization—possibly including secession—on the one hand. On the other hand will be a ratcheting up of coercion and enforced “unity” to ensure political centralization.  The speed ... Read more

The handmaiden media doesn’t want you to know this. The Democrats have a massive enthusiasm gap compared to Republicans. The media won’t air any of the Left’s laundry, but there’s a lot of it, and it’s dirty. Based on the most recent FEC filings, Republicans and allies have raised an historic $939 million ahead of ...

When a senator claims the House killed a bill out of spite, the charge deserves an answer — not because the grievance is interesting, but because the truth is different, and the difference matters.  The story broke on the X platform, following an allegation from Senator Sullivan. The House, it was said, sank the Senator’s ... Read more

For many, it is difficult to imagine the scope of the ongoing fraud. Not just what we know was stolen recently, but in total. The sums are vast and well beyond the understanding of many.

Liberal big cities and states have backed themselves into a corner with out-of-control spending for social programs they do not need and not enough tax dollars to fund bloated budgets, creating massive fiscal deficits.
