CNN is CNN. The Clinton News Network. The COVID News Network. Commie News Network. Whichever of the many reimaginings you’ve heard or prefer, it’s not your go-to for unbiased news or commentary. Adding Scott Jennings has helped give the appearance of balance…

A collection of Vermont legislators led by Senate Majority Leader Kesha Ram Hinsdale (D-Chittenden SE) and Treasurer Mike Pieciak (D-VT) gathered in the Cedar Creek Room of the State House to decry and bemoan proposed reforms to the SNAP (Supplemental NUTRITION…

If you missed the Wednesday Morning Update, there’s a nice clip from Dan Bongino in there about how this is not a both-sides issue. Yes, the Left loves to say the right is more violent, but as I’ve pointed out more than a few times, the violence from white…

Donald Trump is quickly eclipsing his record of the most assassinated Presidents of all-time.  Surviving what is now an unreachable forty-seventh attempt on this life, the President was as resolute as ever as he sat behind his desk of the same name, casually…

Gunfire at one of Washington’s most scripted nights jolts everything into the real world. We start with the White House Correspondents’ Dinner security scare, what we know about the suspect, and the bigger question nobody can dodge: how much does political…

For the past two years, Vermont politicians have been telling Vermont property taxpayers that they heard us after 2024 and are working to reform our education system to provide property tax relief. It’s not happening. The debate today as we close out the…

Trump’s attacks in response to 47 years of Iran’s attacks against Americans and others escalating to a nuclear threat have made Trump’s critics forgetful.  Previous Presidents, leading politicians, and the media acknowledged that Iran is the world’s greatest…

Today, on the morning update, Democrats who couldn’t spend enough of your unborn great-grandchildren’s money (already spent everyone else’s) are pretending to care about that now, ‘cuz the Midterms. They’re lying, but it’s hard to help people put all that…

How come the NHCADSV is silent in this one? They get so many millions from DCYF to, in part, train DCYF employees, I understand. DCYF failed to vet foster care parents for sex offender registry status, criminal records – per U.S. DHHS OIG reports. NHCADSV…

I have been around the sun far too many times to think that corrupt politicians only live on the left side of the aisle. I am a firm believer that D.C. will pull the soul out of the strongest of men and women who go there with the best intentions. The temptations…

This week, on GrokTALK!, we look a little deeper into the problem of dirty voter rolls (inspired by my Friday, May 1st, Morning Update) at the issue of ballot chain of custody and how New Hampshire can’t have a clean election even if we want them. 00:00 Introduction…

Today, on the Morning Update, three dozen Illinois school districts are under investigation, and Gov Governor JB Prickster, sorry, Pritzker, doesn’t like it, not one bit. He says it’s because Trump hates his state, but the more likely truth is that he and…

Before I get into discussing the recommended hairstyle for Comrade Rep Laura Telerski, a hat tip to Beth Scaer and username “Progressive New England,” who tweeted about the style of interest I am proposing.  Both of them inspired the creativity for this article. …

Given the opportunity, a Proglodyte will lie about anything. Take Global warming. Everything is caused by it, relabeled as climate change to ensure the hymns matched the dogma. Heat, cold, rain, drought, sun, shade, storms, quiet, no snow, more snow, everything…

New Hampshire public school enrollment continues to decline at a faster rate than teacher employment, a Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy analysis of state data shows. Over the last 15 years, public schools in New Hampshire lost students at nearly…

I have not been shy about how hypocritical mail-order abortion pills appear to me. I’m old enough to remember the coat hanger in a back-alley argument made by the baby-killing party. I don’t think anyone ever tried it, and if they did, it was only because…

Media Lies, Abortion Politics & Persuasion Wars What’s really happening behind the headlines—and why does it feel like nobody’s telling the full story? In this episode of The Ever-Living Podcast, Xindi, Jessica, and Jason sit down with Michael Graham, managing…
