Bananas: Christmas Shopping for Your Queer Legislator

Wed, 2024-12-18 17:00 +0000
‘Tis the season of giving once again, and most of us have gotten our shopping done thanks to AI target marketing that has gotten so sophisticated you can literally think of what you want, and Facebook, Youtube, or Instagram will advertise it to you within mere moments.  Even better, after you buy the thing, they ...

A more complex and captivating challenge is created by combining five linked grids in Samurai Sudoku, an enhanced version of the traditional Sudoku problem. Although each grid adheres to the same basic guidelines as conventional Sudoku, the overlap adds another level of difficulty and strategy. Try your hand at completing this interesting puzzle and putting ... Read more

Of Bike Lanes and Poor Civics

Wed, 2024-12-18 15:00 +0000
During my absence, while I’ve been busy with DCYF (they’ve given me some paper targets of their own to shoot at), I’ve continued to take the Conservatarian fight to Lloyd Alter, formerly of Treehugger (aka “TH”), now the proprietor of his own place, Carbon Upfront. While being a failed architect (his description of himself – ... Read more

Why Can’t “Transgender Girls” Play On Boys Teams?

Wed, 2024-12-18 13:00 +0000
One of the unholy truths about the linguistic mind game that surrounds gender-bending ethics is that immutable, observable, physical characteristics, with genetic markers down to the cellular level, are a social construct, while progressive ideas about them are not. It sounds silly because it is, but this fiction comes with certain amusing contradictions. You can’t ... Read more

What Are We Doing in Syria?

Wed, 2024-12-18 11:00 +0000
My first reaction to news earlier this month that the Syrian government had been overthrown was, how much did we have to do with it; how involved was the CIA; and how much is it going to cost. As with Saddam and Gaddafi before him, we know that Assad was no libertarian hero. But unleashing ... Read more

House Republicans Finally Putting The Squeeze On Bloated Pentagon Budget

Wed, 2024-12-18 03:00 +0000
This week the House of Representatives slammed the door on bigger defense budgets without more accountability. The fissure opened at the end of the 118th Congress among Republicans voting on funding for the U.S. military. After much wrangling, the Senate and House agreed to set the Pentagon’s budget in fiscal 2025 to $884 billion. But that’s not ... Read more

Trump Inauguration Gala Tickets Make a Great Holiday Gift

Wed, 2024-12-18 01:00 +0000
The 603 Alliance held a fantastic local Presidential Inauguration Gala when Trump won last time, and they are doing it again. Dinner, dancing, music by the B-Street Bombers, no political speeches, and we plan to live stream the events in DC. If you can’t afford to attend the real thing (most of us can’t), would ...

The Smooth Transition Was Another Biden Fallacy

Tue, 2024-12-17 23:00 +0000
After Donald Trump’s election and the embarrassing loss suffered by Kamala Harris and, by extension, the Biden Administration, Joe Biden promised a smooth and professional transition and transfer of power. Biden assured the American people that transferring power from the Biden to Trump teams would be seamless. The period for the transition is a sensitive ... Read more

Ukraine! Ukraine! Ukraine!

Tue, 2024-12-17 21:00 +0000
One of the more amusing facts about the Ukraine war is that it has nothing to do with independence or democracy or stopping a renewed Soviet-era-like advance by Putin. It is about a US/Allied interest in natural resources. Energy, minerals. That’s right, left-wing rage-heads, it looks like you are supporting blood for oil, more or ... Read more

The Death of Syria

Tue, 2024-12-17 19:00 +0000
What is clearly a joint US-Israeli plan to remake the Mideast map is now well underway. Changes will be seismic. The Biden administration, by now almost totally controlled by pro-Israel neocons, is making its final major moves by loosing a Parthian shaft into the heart of the Mideast. Syria – or what’s left of it ... Read more

Perversion of The Power To Declare War

Tue, 2024-12-17 15:00 +0000
Mark Twain’s wit, perhaps, describes the dilemma the  majority of the U.S. Congress has suffered for decades since December 7, 1941: “It’s better to keep silent and appear stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” Our military sons and daughters show courage in fulfilling their duty, even unto death, but our Congress has found ...

Vermont’s Minimum Wage Set to Break 14$/Hour

Tue, 2024-12-17 13:00 +0000
Vermont has a law that jacks the minimum wage up every year. Either 5% or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower, which makes you think the Dems running the place (for the most part) would want a bit more honesty when it comes to reporting inflation, and that’s not happening (maybe Trumps DOL will ...

Repeal the 17th Amendment: The Anti-Federalist Warnings We Must Not Ignore

Tue, 2024-12-17 03:00 +0000
Repealing the 17th Amendment has become a rallying cry for those seeking to restore federalism. But the Anti-Federalists warned during the ratification debates that structural flaws in the Senate run much deeper than merely the method of election. Corruption, careerism, and usurpations of power won’t disappear with repeal alone – not even close. The Anti-Federalists ... Read more

Consequences?

Tue, 2024-12-17 01:00 +0000
The Valley News is a reliable member of the progressive handmaiden media. They toe the right lines and nurture the approved narratives. They also give voice to the troglodytes that, in most outlets of this shade, are a way to express the publisher’s political preference at someone else’s expense.

Mon, 2024-12-16 23:00 +0000
While it’s recently been announced that Vermont will have to pay the highest premiums in the nation for health insurance for 2025, much of the tab for those struggling to pay will be picked up by taxpayers. “This year, many Vermonters will be eligible for better coverage plans at lower premium costs due to increased ...

The Evaporation Of The Obama Mystique

Mon, 2024-12-16 21:00 +0000
Former President Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Joe Biden nomination — and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years. As such he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history. Recall ... Read more
