We all want the same basic things: a society where people have real opportunity, dignity, security, and a genuine sense of belonging. The deepest paradox in modern politics is that the path to that humane, abundant society runs through free markets — not despite them. 

Criminals will still carry, and that’s the truth, but this is Burlington, where the truth is what they say it is, and the excuse they came up with to ask for a ban in bars was a shooting that wasn’t in a bar.

It is a moral error to imagine Hamas as “freedom fighters” since freedom fighters do not gang rape women and mutilate their corpses and laugh about it. Nor do they sexually torture teens at music festivals, burn families alive, and livestream it online.

The fundamental mission of state wildlife agencies is not animal welfare—it is resource management for human use and profit.

History is not a children’s morality tale. It is a record of power, conflict, negotiation, and survival.

Let’s make a statement this summer. If you fly one flag, let it be the American flag. Let it fly high above our homes, our farms, and towns. Let it be a symbol of pride—an unwavering commitment to the liberties so many fought and died to preserve.

Hartford, like other desperate-to-seem relevant townships like Burlington and Montpelier, appears to operate on the political lake effect.

Bernie Sanders, like so many of his blue-hued fans, is blinded by Hamas’  heavyweight winning propaganda war against the featherweight of political fiction, Israel.

We don’t have a “Climate Emergency”, we have an Education Emergency and common- sense problem.
