Our biology does not distinguish between the challenge of a bear or the challenge of an idea.

All in all, it’s a good thing that our Senator is focusing on helping small farmers and ranchers prosper in a world of anticompetitive agribusiness mergers.

In 2023, as I look on my youth and remember, I now see how liberals have worked against our Constitution to divide a nation and our states.

Ukrainian corruption isn’t new. In fact, it has a long-seeded reputation for being heavily corrupt.

When the nation soon faces a much greater trial than a natural disaster, the rural men and women will separate from the urban boys and girls, like oil from water.

In this time of alienation, division, and political rhetoric, let’s give a gold star to these homegrown efforts to rebuild community and shared purpose.

There is one that describes what has taken place in Montpelier. Vermont State government has swept the EB-5 Ponzi-like scheme under the rug. 

The true economic and environmental costs of government-subsidized renewable energy programs.

Sorry Vermont Climate Council, New York is not going to ride to your rescue and hand you a solution to your transportation quandary.

“When we as individuals lend a helping hand, we help others up. But if all our government does is provide subsidies to those who have fallen, it is letting them down and too often keeping them down.”

Especially in the wake of the storms, the Clean Heat Standard and its huge price tag should be repealed, and its resources redirected toward recovery.

How many times can a federal regulating agency claim “safe and effective” and be wrong yet still hold faith with followers?

If we think transitioning to renewable heating and transportation is inconvenient or possibly a little more expensive, just look around at what we will be facing if we don’t. Can we afford not to?  

There is no worldly Utopia on offer by the WHO, only more degradation of individual liberties and national sovereignties. And if the WHO wants to be jabbed with my sharpened stick, then “Molon Labe”.

At what point do people stop listening to “experts” who have never been right about anything, but are costing us trillions of dollars implementing policies based on their long history of incorrect conclusions?

No Labels is an organization which is working to get on the ballot in every state so that they can run an alternative, non-extremist slate.

The deeper issue is that global corporations and industry have been poisoning people and the earth for centuries.

It’s no secret that disaster responses have a knack for favoring the economically privileged, resulting in a hierarchy of suffering.

For Trump-supporters, “the enemy of my enemy is Kennedy”…unless he wins the Dem primary or runs as an independent, in which case all bets are off.

“For many deeply religious people, the guilt of having brought that child into this world will last a lifetime.”

In Vermont we have seen government business delegated permanently to independent companies and sizeable nonprofit organizations in just a few decades.

Scientific environmental debates are important. Breathless news stories about “global average temperatures” and “hottest month on record” are not.

We could have been spending our taxpayer dollars on things like shoring up roads and bridges, strengthening culverts, upgrading sewage treatment facilities, investing in first responders, et alia.

This is neither about democracy or national security: it is about quick corporate profit.

We expect that the excessive flooding and silt will destroy a large share of our produce and livestock feed. In our hilly State, some of our most fertile farmland lies in river valleys. Countless fields of corn, hay, vegetables, fruit, and pasture were swamped and buried.
