Letter: The real ‘threat to democracy’
To me the real threat to democracy is the policies of this Democrat run administration which are destroying our economy, our culture and our sovereignty.
John Klar: Progressives embrace regressive taxes despite claim of ‘helping the poor’
The most glaring failure of Vermont’s so-called Progressives is in taxation and fees: the Progressive arm of the Democrat Party has greatly burdened low-income Vermonters, always in the name of “helping the poor.”
Opinion: Painful inflation keeps spiking under Democrat-led Washington, and voters are taking notice
So much for the falsely-named Democrat “Inflation Reduction Act.” September’s inflation figures came out worse than expected this week, but Americans didn’t need Washington bureaucrats to tell them they’re suffering record high price spikes.
Flemming: Climate Council finds GWSA trickier to sugarcoat, even with generous assumptions
In 2020, no one bothered to put a serious price tag on these Global Warming Solutions Act policies before they were voted upon. Part of that façade is starting to disappear in 2022, and the costs are becoming disturbingly apparent.
McClaughry: Costs of wind and solar
Shellenberger said “solar and wind produce too much energy when you don’t need them, and not enough energy when you do, and both of those impose costs on the electrical grid.”
William Bennet: Biden’s wrong — serving time for simple marijuana possession a myth
White House officials claim the policy will affect 6,500 people with marijuana possession convictions reaching back to 1992. But even they had to admit on Friday that “no one is currently serving time in federal prison solely for the crime of simple marijuana possession.”

The “Hormone Blocker Bill,” H.659, usurps parental authority. What is driving this type of legislation, and who is driving it?
Tom Evslin: Zero net emissions does not require zero use of fossil fuels – continued
Each year forests and other vegetation absorb up to a third of the CO2 released from burning fossil fuels. The implications are clear: if we reduce emissions from fossil fuels by two-thirds and preserve our vegetative cover, we will be at zero net emissions. We will not be increasing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Renee Brodowski: Who has custody of our children, parents or the State?
H.659 was not taken up in the Committee on Health Care. Yet the mindset is clear: many of our state legislators think they know what is best for our children and feel justified introducing and passing legislation that usurps parental authority.
John Klar: Vermont school superintendent battles parents who challenge girls’ changing room policies
Parents in Vermont will, like all informed Americans, protect their daughters. Layne Millington should resign quickly, and flee the accountability he so desperately fights to avoid.
MacDonald: Florida’s surgeon general warns men age 18-39 about cardiac risks from COVID-19 vaccines
Florida no longer recommends that men ages 18-39 get the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines because the data suggests potential cardiac complications with significant health risks.
Don Bolduc: The walls are closing in on my Democrat opponent and her campaign knows it
New Hampshire receives national attention for its “first in the nation” presidential primary, but this year, it could decide control of the U.S. Senate, and the race is extremely close.
