Mr Sylvia said, “The Senate is a place where good House bills go to die.” GM Hopf said, “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men.

Tue, 2025-05-20 02:00 +0000
For over a decade, Robert De Niro, one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actors, has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, escalating his attacks from pointed critiques to expletive-laden rants. His disdain for the former president, whom he has called everything from a “punk” to a “clown,” has become as defining as his iconic roles ... Read more

The Troy University Speech and Drama Department just completed a four-night run of the beloved musical The Music Man. Since our third-grade son Jack played the part of Winthrop, my wife and I saw all four performances.

MacDonald: Wassup With Joe’s Ass-Cancer?

Mon, 2025-05-19 20:00 +0000
Narrative battle lines are being drawn as the improbability of the Joe Biden presidency crashes headlong into the improbability that Joe’s Stage 4 Prostate Cancer “emerged” in the last three months. Let’s get this over with: To anyone on the left calling for us to forget about Joe’s missing marbles, or the massive, RICO-quality, Democrat ... Read more

Rhodes: A Trojan Horse in the Heartland

The ACRE Act of 2025 Must Be Opposed Few things are more destructive to liberty than when laws are written under the guise of compassion or economic aid, only to conceal their true purpose: the enrichment of the powerful and the institutionalization of inequality.

Wiles: James Comey And The Assassination Culture

Mon, 2025-05-19 14:00 +0000
Former FBI director James Comey has lowered himself to become one of the most despicable of deep-state, swamp creatures. Unlike Lurch of Addams Family fame, the slightly shorter, 6’7″ version has far fewer redeeming qualities. He joined other Communist sympathizers who had lurched the Democrat Party to the edge of the Marxist lagoon of swamp ... Read more

MacDonald: If Increased Housing Density Attracts Left Wing Voters …

Mon, 2025-05-19 12:00 +0000
Where’s The Liberty In That? If you want to start a fight online in the Granite State, and probably your state too, pick a side on the so-called housing-crisis debate. It might be worse than mentioning abortion at whatever passes for your watercooler. Numerous factors have made housing expensive. Some say there is an inventory ... Read more

Cardello: Nobody In The Biden Administration Should Survive The Tapes

Mon, 2025-05-19 10:00 +0000
We watched Joe Biden quickly age in prime time. We have all watched family members age, and it is sad, but it is the cycle of life. However, our family members are not being used as props by a political party to maintain power and control over our country. Joe Biden was no longer fit ... Read more

Klar: One Indigenous Man’s Derogatory Slur Is Another’s Badge of Honor

Mon, 2025-05-19 02:00 +0000
As with many Native American team names, the “Massapequa Chiefs” used by a Long Island school district has sparked a tiny woke minority who then engulfed the majority in controversy. New York passed a law prohibiting the use of team names that perpetuate “stereotypes,” cutting off state funding as a penalty for non-compliance. The Massapequa ... Read more

Cline: Outdated auto inspection laws appear more related to culture than cold

Sun, 2025-05-18 22:00 +0000
Every time legislators propose ending New Hampshire’s annual auto inspection mandate, opponents allege that inspections are common in Northern states because cold weather hazards (road salt, frost heaves) make them necessary. In fact, most cold-weather states, like most states overall, don’t require annual auto inspections. Mapping the states that require annual inspections reveals that culture ... Read more

From Leninism to Social Democracy: A Guide to Socialist Models

Sun, 2025-05-18 20:00 +0000
Discussing socialism is difficult, not only because of the many different varieties that have been proposed, but also because its definition is highly malleable. In debates socialists often shift between different interpretations—sometimes emphasizing state control, other times focusing on worker cooperatives or social safety nets—depending on what best suits their argument at the time. Broadly, ... Read more

MacDonald: Commies In The Hedgerows!

Sun, 2025-05-18 18:00 +0000
A reader brought this to my attention: Christopher Helali is an openly communist public official in Orange County, Vermont. Not so surprising, as this is Vermont. Burlington, for example, has two-party elections. Left, and further Left. Democrats and Socialsits. No one else need bother to run, there’s no point, and the effect it has had ... Read more

And then there were none. This week, Governor Phil Scott (R-VT) signed an executive order delaying the implementation of the California Clean Cars & Trucks policies in Vermont for a year.

The UK’s Royal College of Psychiatrists (RC Psych) has taken an unusual position on an Assisted Dying Bill before parliament.
