Klar: Food Apartheid – The Latest Victimhood Scam

Fri, 2025-05-16 14:00 +0000
More propaganda for the rainbow of fake grievances. Despite widespread rejection of the incessant, divisive toxicity of an ever-growing rainbow of perceived grievances, social justice con artists scour the dogmatic universe for more faux causes to fuel their platforms. A recent example is the laughable-if-offensive effort to transform the phrase “food deserts” into “food apartheid.” ... Read more

MacDonald: New Vermont Law Probably Violates Two Constitutions

Fri, 2025-05-16 12:00 +0000
Vermont has passed a law that allows the state attorney general to fine pregnancy care centers up to $10,000.00 for “advertising” the AG deems misleading. That’s the intent. Pro-Abortion Democrats passed a muzzle bill in 2023 to intimidate pregnancy care centers to the benefit of abortion clinics, but it didn’t work. Not exactly. It was ... Read more

Sorens: Why Reform Zoning

Fri, 2025-05-16 10:00 +0000
Julie Smith recently wrote a piece for Granite Grok about my white paper for AIER entitled “Unbundling Zoning.” She badly misinterpreted the paper, made false accusations, and even got the main thesis exactly backwards. Here’s the proof. Smith: “Sorens calls zoning useless, unjust, and irrational and explains why.” FALSE. These are the claims I’m responding ... Read more

Smith: Hollis Dunkin Donuts

Fri, 2025-05-16 02:00 +0000
Hollis Dunkin Donuts is unlike other locations in many ways.  It’s in a repurposed building multiple times its age, it doesn’t have the usual bright orange and pink signs and it doesn’t have a drive-thru despite it being a former site of a bank with one. While I can’t speak intelligently to the finer details ... Read more

GrokTALK! – Don’t Drive Angry

Fri, 2025-05-16 00:00 +0000
This week on GrokTALK!, my guest is…me. Yes, it’s just me. The topic is the rising desire to cajole the mysterious political middle and the rise of the Woke Right. I try to figure out what it means and provide a possible path for us to consider to avoid or prevent the radicalization at both ... Read more

Bradley: Trump, Kennedy and Oz v. The Pharmaceutical Companies

Fri, 2025-05-16 00:00 +0000
According to some historians, the Smoot-Howley tariffs caused the Great Depression. Since then, mention of the word “ Tariff” has brought to mind the “SCREAM,” a famous work of art by Edward Munch. The painting reveals a figure on a bridge, holding his head with an expression of anguish and isolation! The Mainstream Media’s (MSM) ... Read more

MacDonald: Free Speech Pope?

Thu, 2025-05-15 20:00 +0000
Leave it to an American Pontif to tell the assembled members of world media that free speech and a free press are not just essential but that it “does not seek consensus at all costs, does not use aggressive words, does not follow the culture of competition, and never separates the search for truth from ...

Bowman: As Originally Required

Thu, 2025-05-15 18:00 +0000
There was a hidden lesson within Trump’s “too big to rig” rhetoric, which modern-day talkers and experts will never mention for obvious reasons.  Simply stated, it is that unity equals strength and together we can prevail.  Trump’s campaign slogan is an offshoot of our forefathers’ belief that freedom will only prevail when the citizenry is ...

Cardello:Will Anyone Be Held Accountable For The Biden Conspiracy

Thu, 2025-05-15 16:00 +0000
Starting about a month ago, a new tell-all book from someone within the Joe Biden administration or the mainstream media hit the shelves every Tuesday. These books give us a firsthand look into the Biden White House and Biden himself, documenting an honest assessment of not only when Biden began his mental decline but also ... Read more

Smith: Call Tara Reardon “Mrs Soprano”

Thu, 2025-05-15 14:00 +0000
Let’s get the “say something nice” part out of the way before the attack.  I met Community Loan Fund lobbyist Tara Reardon on 2/15/23 after a Senate Executive Departments committee hearing for a trailer park bill.  She supported what I said into the mic and followed me out into the hall and introduced herself when ...

Thu, 2025-05-15 10:00 +0000
On April 1, Federal Title X, family planning funds were frozen for Planned Parenthood Northern New England (PPNNE) facilities. $2 million in funds were frozen in Maine and $500,000 in New Hampshire.

Dear Grafton County Commissioners & Delegates,

Thu, 2025-05-15 02:00 +0000
As you may or may not know, virtual, online, ZOOM Commissioners’ Meetings were “blacked-out,” “shut down,” canceled,” by “the Chairman of the Board,” Martha McLeod,  as of April 22, 2025 so that no Grafton County residents can see & listen to the meetings in real time.  This type of censorship is something that is done ...

Thu, 2025-05-15 00:00 +0000
Topline: The IRS estimated in December 2024 that its new Direct File tax return system would cost the government $61.1 million for an estimated 2.3 million users, or about $27 per person. But the pilot program ended up costing about $238 per person who used the system to file their taxes, according to a report from the Treasury ... Read more

Bernie and the Privileged Political Class

Wed, 2025-05-14 22:00 +0000
A teachable moment (for others, not Bernie, who will never learn). Our senior senator made big news last week in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier. When the anchor confronted Sanders about the $221,000 he and Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez have spent so far on private jets during their Fighting the Oligarchy tour, as ... Read more

MacDonald: They Want to Get Arrested So, Arrest Them

Wed, 2025-05-14 20:00 +0000
No Proglodyte resume is complete without at least one arrest. Deranged Tesla-defacing felons are proud bearers of this distinction, but that fad has lost its shine. The latest thing is ICE officers and immigration deportation. That Mayor in New Jersey got himself a date with a judge, and that judge in Milwaukee’s weepy arrest photo ... Read more

Wed, 2025-05-14 18:00 +0000
The College of Cardinals had not checked their email yet, as their isolation ended after electing a successor to fill the spot vacated by the death of Pope Francis, and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was urging the new Pope, Leo XIV, to intervene with Donald Trump and try to negotiate relief for anyone labeled an illegal ...
