I admit I have a difficult time discussing the transgender subject because I do not believe in the concept, which makes all my other reasons moot. I do not understand the terminology and, therefore, the arguments. Non-binary and bisexual shut me down because I do not feel confident discussing, let alone debating, these terms created ...

Many Democrat Party candidates claim to be “Democratic Socialists”, Socialists, and Communists; other Democrats claim to be “Progressives”, while expressing similar ideas.  In the past, many Democrats extolled the benefits of various forms of Marxism, e.g., Fascism, Nazism, Socialism, and Communism. They praised Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, and more recently Castro and Chavez.  In ... Read more

Term limits are not a new notion. Career politicians are, without a doubt, the worst possible outcome. In fact, I’ve said more than once that paying them is a mistake. Every time a legislature tries to give itself a raise, or more benefits, or any income at all, my advice is no. New Hampshire pays ... Read more

Artificial intelligence has arrived in Vermont politics, and whether you laughed at the latest video or found it offensive, it raises questions that aren’t going away.

Dear Mr. Conforti, You state that “the City plays no formal role in State Legislative activity”. This is contradicted by the following: Councilor Schultz is an elected official for the State House. Mayor Jim Bouley’s firm Dennehy & Bouley is a paid lobbyist for/against bills presented to the legislature. Steve Shurtleff was both a councilor, ... Read more

Karmelo Anthony admitted to stabbing Austin Metcalf to death (“I’m not alleged; I did it”), and people are outraged that he’s going to jail for that. The self-defense “defense” didn’t hold up. Death by stabbing after being pushed is considered excessive use of force. As in, couldn’t you have stabbed him someplace else? Or, how ... Read more

Bad actors sadly exist everywhere, even in institutions we want to think are exempt.  Government is not one of those institutions, but we’d like to think that there’s a higher standard for Team Red in all government bodies, and we’re repeatedly disappointed.  Let’s focus on our state legislature and note that the Senate is much ...

Not to beat a dead horse, but the “government” has no obligation to protect you. None. No matter what the proglodytes say about public safety, no one has to protect you. Heck, they don’t even have to figure out who attacked or killed you. There’s no right to either, but they don’t tell you that ... Read more

In the years before 1763, the British Empire—although in theory a unified entity—was really a federation. The central government in London controlled foreign affairs and the imperial post office. It also regulated trade with foreign countries and among units of the empire. But otherwise, the 13 future American states were largely self-governing. In each, the ... Read more
