  1. governor//// a devise on a motor to control revolutions per minute//// it is now clear the govenor of this state has allowed the motor of this state to blow up///// the pieces are now embedded in your property tax bill////

  2. I hope to see Mr. Hoyt debate the other candidates for Governor. His limited government position is intriguing, and I hope VDC covers his campaign.

    But, while we consider various political candidacies, we must understand that the proof is always in the pudding.

    There was a debate broadcast last night on WCAX between John Rogers and Gregory Thayer, Republican primary contenders for Lt. Governor, and I’m a bit surprised VDC didn’t mention it. But I digress. The debate was informative and changed my opinion of the candidates.

    I was specifically curious of John Rogers, a 30-year Democrat, now posing as a Republican, as many Democrats now do. He claimed the Democrat Party has ‘left him’ and moved too far to the left for his centrist sensibilities – a now common refrain.

    However, I took one remark from John Rogers seriously. It was one of the only truly definitive remarks in the whole debate by either candidate (my opinion, of course), the rest of the commentary being the typical political platitudes of lowering taxes, helping the middle-class economy, and limiting government over-reach, without expressing any specific detail on how they would do so.

    But John Rogers said, unequivocally, he would ‘never vote for Trump’. His words, despite them being the stereotypic characterization we hear from most ‘never Trumpers’. He claimed that Trump cheated his subcontractors in various construction projects and, being a contractor himself, he found that offensive.

    To the best of my understanding, Mr. Rogers’ experience as a NEK masonry contractor is the extent of his contracting experience. To the best of my knowledge, Mr. Rogers never worked in NYC, or on any project of Trump’s. And Mr. Rogers didn’t substantiate his claim at all.

    For the record, I have been a building contractor for 40 years. And I have worked extensively in NYC, although not directly on any Trump project, to the best of my knowledge. And I am fully aware of the fact that general contractors, like the Trump organization, often quibble with sub-contractors on whether or not a contract has been satisfied. I’ve been there.

    But John Rogers hasn’t been there, in NYC at least. And, to the best of my knowledge, he hasn’t been there in dealings with the Trump organization. Yet Rogers unequivocally refuses to vote for the Republican nominee for President, based on hearsay. Therefore, I have reason to believe that everything else Mr. Rogers said was disingenuous too.

    I invite Mr. Rogers to comment. But, in the meantime, because I didn’t hear anything similar from candidate Thayer, I recommend Republican Primary voters not vote for John Rogers, political moderate as he claims to be.

    • I agree, last person we need in the Vt GOP is another never Trumper, Rogers out!

    • I support John Rodgers 100%, but I do not agree with his assessment of Donald Trump.

      I agree he may be misguided about that information and hopefully at some point will understand the whole story.

      He is one vote against Donald Trump but he is a world of help in the state of Vermont where we need it most.

      John has fought arm and arm with both sides of the aisle to protect us from our constitutional rights being stolen in the state knowing full well his Democrat party would denounce him for that..

      I have attended many rallies on the statehouse steps where John Rodgers was in attendance and was very vocal towards our state government when they were in the wrong.

      If you don’t know John maybe you should take a little time to give him a call because the guy is an honest man and never shies away from telling you the truth..

      The state of Vermont has been brainwashed into not supporting Donald Trump and both sides of the aisle are guilty of it.

      Look what has been said by Phil Scott and Paul Dame and other Republicans that head up the state of Vermont about Donald Trump and denouncing him for president..

      Are you not voting for those people?

      I’m going to stick with John because he has knowledge and an attitude to help every Vermonter and will never shy away from being honest about things.

      On the other hand I have also had dealings with Gregory Thayer..

      I handled a wrie in campaign for him that he requested I do and he dictated everything about it.

      He then turned his back on not only me but the rest of the people that worked so hard for him and spent their money on a web page for him. Gregory calls us liars claiming he never had a thing to do with his campaign.

      Thank God I was able to go back and get my phone logs and luckily I saved the texts that Gregory had sent me..

      Had I not had access to those things he would have pulled off the big lie he has been telling people..

      I’d encourage everyone to go to this website:

      Gregorythayer.com

      There you can see exactly what took place with actual messages that were sent back and forth that prove Gregory Thayer cannot be trusted to tell the truth.

      In the debate that took place today would John Rogers he stated that he never supported his opposition in the race in 2022 because his opposition treated him badly..

      It was Joe Benning he ran against and when you go on to this website when you reach the end you will see where he encouraged people to vote for Joe Benning in an article he wrote to True North reports.

      I don’t believe a candidate should be elected to any public office that can’t be honest with the electorate..

      Once a liar always a liar!

      Please vote for John Rodgers for lieutenant governor in the primary on the 13th and in the general election..

      Let’s give Vermont back on the right path.

    • Very well said. I myself would never vote for an individual that accuses someone of something without presenting evidence, look at Shifty and all the others including the media on the lies they claimed about Trump with Russian collusion. Thank God for the investigation Devin Nunes and Kash Petal did to bring out the truth.

  3. Kevin Hoyt: I just watched your Michelle Moore interview. A lot to unpack. I would like to hear more about the corruption you referenced. Please start at the top with those Vermont officials that have already left office. Begin with one person, one circumstance at a time. Consider this an interview.

  4. Kevin: A second issue. Please address your recent arrest when being ordered to have absolutely no contact with former state Rep. Christopher Bates of Bennington.

    • He explains this in the rumble interview but you have to watch it. First candidate i’ve heard call out the ongoing geoengineering in our state. I’ve voted for him once and i will again.

  5. Mr.Eschelnan, Kevin Hoyt’s history is on the Patriotic Rumble Network he founded
    ” Grassroots Warrior Network”. Please do your due diligence and research him yourself.
    We know Kevin. He’s the real deal. He would make a fine Governor for Vermont. He would certainly clean up and drain the swamp throughout the state. If every state had a Governor Kevin Hoyt, We’d be very free to be the America we should’ve been in 1776. He loves Vermont and would steward it well.

    • If the Supermajority won’t let their opponent do their job, what chance does Hoyt have of any meaningful vetoes in the interest of Vermonters? Scott would do that cleanup too if he had the power to do so. Neither can do anything if we don’t remove the Supermajority from power, even by a slight margin.

  6. Kel: I’ve done the research. I simply want the candidate to speak for himself on this forum instead of relying on his supporters, like you, to speak for him.

    Conversely, Timothy: You presume that ‘Scott would do that cleanup too if he had the power to do so’. When, in fact, Scott hasn’t been able to do so.

    That Scott has failed doesn’t mean Kevin Hoyt will be similarly unsuccessful. Hoyt may prove to be Vermont’s Ajax.

    • Scott has been able to define the issues, via use of the bully pulpit, but unwilling.

      And I listened to the Lt. Gov debate: Thayer had a high hanging curveball to hit out of the park on the issue of bodily autonomy, and he whiffed mightily, not mentioning vax mandates. Go big or go home, Greg.

    • Tyler and Richard: I watched another debate between Rogers and Thayer last night on VT Public. The format was more conducive to reasonable discussion compared with the WCAX format.

      First, Rogers toned down his rhetoric about Trump – a little bit. Perhaps he reads VDC comments.

      And, yes, Thayer’s discussion on ‘bodily autonomy’ could have been better. But it’s a discussion hog-tied by the 60 second response time in the debate format. My response would have been – whose autonomy are we addressing? The woman’s? Or the unborn baby she carries? And I won’t pretend to presume to know the answer, let alone articulate it here. Suffice it to say – Vermont’s now Constitutional governance allowing abortion at any time (including partial birth abortion), for any reason, or for no reason at all, isn’t reasonable.

      The most important issue Thayer made, over and again, was that free markets should be the driving force behind the issues we face, not government intervention. And while I suspect Mr. Rogers understands free market sensibilities too, he seems compelled toward government interventions instead.

    • It’s easy – “If you support bodily autonomy, how do you feel about vaccine mandates?” 5 seconds, and devastating. It’s the hanging curveball nobody is hitting out of the park as they should if they’re really about individual rights and sovereignty.

  7. Paraphrasing Victor Davis Hanson:
    Therapeutic Society vs. the American Ajax

    The ‘therapeutic society’ are those people who believe an elite utopia is achievable simply by believing the possibility can make it so. Even in the face of all of history, that shows this belief to be but a figment of their imagination, they insist. “All we are saying is give peace a chance.”

    Ajax, on the other hand, was the mythical and legendary Greek warrior of the Trojan War who was the consummate tragic protagonist in the face of brutality.

    The people, like Ajax, who show us and remind us that human nature can be, and sometimes must be, brutal in order to survive, are pretty scary people to contemplate. Many people delude themselves that such a necessity doesn’t exist. Others, like Ajax, understand human nature for what it is. They are people like William Tecumseh Sherman, Ulysses Grant, Douglas MacArthur, George Patton, and Norman Schwarzkopf.

    But then the therapeutic elites, who are typically self-certified as being highly credentialed by their mutual admiration society, and who live in private estates or gated communities, are shocked at the prospect of the necessary brutality that protects them. They maintain a pretentious belief that human nature is best by always being therapeutic, usually in order to think well of themselves and gain the approval of their elite peers.

    Meanwhile, unlike the rest of us, those elites are rarely subject to the dystopian ramifications of their monolithic and selfish ideology. Vermont’s legislature is filled with such people. And we must deal with them.

  8. I tried to called CHARITY CLARK, ATTORNEY GENERAL, twice of concerned of FRAUD; She did not returned my phone at all! TYPICAL for DEMOCRAT!

  9. Rogers will win the nomination. The extreme right candidates are unattuned with the majority of Vermont.
    The Extreme Right is an endangered species of their own devise.

    Running on Trump’s shredded coattails may work in other states, but not in Vermont.

    Let’s focus on Republican like candidates that stand a chance of winning a general election.
