One of the foundations of progressive politics is putting government first. Build it, fund it, defend it. The corollary, well known worldwide, is that sooner or later, you run out of other people’s money, to which I’ll add, but that doesn’t stop the “beatings.”

They always try to feed the politicians and bureaucrats first to keep the machine that runs everyone else well-oiled. Everyone else is on their own, including their union buddies in the FD and PD.

There is never enough government, and running out of money is a feature, not a bug (idioms, metaphors, …). All those essential programs or services they promise you the Republicans will take away if you elected them; that’s a projection. The Dems system ensures those services will get cut because there can never be enough money.

Uniparty Republicans are eager to help at the national level, but let’s focus on the Democrat destruction of cities. It’s one of the few things they are good at and something we can guarantee, given enough time. No hyperbole is needed. You can look for yourselves, but we’re not recommending it. You’ll get mugged, killed, or have your car stolen (maybe all of that), burdens to which we can now add this. Biden’s orchestrated invasion has made all of that worse, and the burden has begun to whittle away at essential services.

Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced the cuts on Wednesday, celebrating the move as a way to avoid “the worst-case budget cut scenarios.” The “Newcomer Program Strategy” is a nearly $90 million budget plan that funds aid and sheltering for illegal immigrants through the rest of 2024, Fox 31 reported. To pay for the illegal immigrant plan, the Democrat-run city will cut police spending by $8.4 million and fire department spending by $2.5 million, while the Sheriff’s Department will be hit with a 2.2% reduction.

We’re cutting public safety, and we’re excited about this transition from protecting you to protecting people who are technically felons.

“After more than a year of facing this crisis together, Denver finally has a sustainable plan for treating our newcomers with dignity while avoiding the worst cuts to city services,” Johnston said. “So many times we were told that we couldn’t be compassionate while still being fiscally responsible. Today is proof that our hardest challenges are still solvable, and that together we are the ones who will solve them.”

I hate to sound like a broken record (no, I don’t), but you could save 10 million by sending them all home. Someone should suggest that. And not just in Denver. Massachusetts, the sanctuary across my State’s southern border, has a similar problem (like New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and the rest). And it’s an amusing matter, at least to me. For all the pissing and moaning about being overwhelmed when it was Governor Abbot and DeSantis bussing or flying “migrants” to Democrat sanctuary cities, Biden’s been doing it, and they’re all, let’s come together and help these new arrivals.

Hang on to that sentiment. You might have to come together to help put out fires.

Greetings, Good Senators. April 18 was a sad day for transparency in NH and I am asking you to reject the Judiciary Committee’s recommendation and even consider saying “thank you, Mr President, I rise to oppose the recommendation and urge this body to vote ITL.”

This is a link to an ongoing local story that I am asking ALL of you to familiarize yourselves with.

Investigative journalists, in the authentic sense, are a dying breed in NH, and we must rely on private citizen truth seekers like Laurie Ortolano, who took to the mic at the April 9 committee hearing. Would you believe that not one committee member had even one question for her?  Yup, see for yourselves in the video, and one member even packed up and left the room, KNOWING that she was the star witness. As an attorney, he obviously knew that it was his opportunity to cross-examine her!  But back to Laurie Ortolano. You all ought to know that she has invested countless hours and countless dollars only to have city hall repeatedly heap abuse on her.  She has had to resort to litigation multiple times, both as Attorney Lehmann’s client and as a pro se plaintiff.  Don’t give the stewards of government records any more weapons to use against the public, please!

Voting in HB 1002 is VOTING FOR A NEW TAX, plain and simple, and I’m guessing that most of you took the Grover Norquist Pledge against that.  Don’t be fooled into thinking that RTK seekers are, by default, the inconvenient nuisance problem.  If you do, you’re no better than the opposition implying to Tim Lang that parents are, by default, enemies of their kids. (in opposition to his bill). And BTW, Tim Lang is an enemy of transparency.  You can see for yourselves on the committee hearing sign-in sheet, which I can show you a picture of if desired.

The Judiciary Committee joined the WRONG side of history on April 18, and the membership has an opportunity to change their minds. I hope some of you can convince them(and Tim Lang) to “come about” and perhaps recruit three votes from across the aisle. Watters is potentially one of those three, as I’m told that he can be negotiated with. Maybe that’s true with two more. Please explore that possibility.

Please do NOT contribute to creating another RTK obstacle for Granite Staters, especially with the second-largest city in disarray.

Sincerely,
Julie Smith

Biden’s New Title IX Rule Guarantees The End Of Parents’ Rights (thefederalist.com)

Title IX was intended to ensure women are treated fairly and have educational opportunities, not to pave the way for males claiming an alternative “gender identity” to access women’s scholarships and spaces. It also wasn’t supposed to be used to curtail protected speech by punishing students and teachers for using biologically false pronouns.

That’s right: When Biden’s Title IX rule takes effect on Aug. 1, using the “wrong” (e.g., biologically accurate) pronouns will be considered “sex-based harassment” and a federal civil rights violation worthy of investigation and discipline.

…

Under the new rule, if a middle school student feels that his teacher has not hidden his “gender fluid” identity sufficiently from his parents, the district could treat it as a Title IX violation. The school district’s Title IX coordinator would investigate to avoid facing a federal investigation or losing federal funding.

Uh oh.

Ignore This Birth Control ‘Misinfo’ Unless You Want To Be Happier (thefederalist.com)

There’s another effect of The Pill: it apparently alters women’s sense of smell and their mate-picking preferences (links in original):

In addition, before taking my classes, my female students were never told that the Pill scrambles the sensory messages that they subconsciously detect with their sense of smell: The hormones in the Pill make them more attracted to men with immune systems similar to their own. Those scrambled signals mean falling in love with a man while taking the Pill is risky. If the couple marries and tries to have children, the woman will have somewhat higher odds of repeated miscarriages and perhaps of having more-vulnerable offspring.

More on this:

Psychology and the Pill – TCU Magazine

In fact, one study shows that the pill may blunt women’s sense of smell, hampering their ability to sniff out men with markers of desirable genes.

“The idea that women might choose different partners when they are on the pill than when they are off it suggests that the pill may have rippling effects on the quality and dynamics of women’s long-term relations — maybe even the risk of divorce or infidelity,” Hill wrote.

America Isn’t The First Empire Doomed By Open Borders (thefederalist.com) (link in the original):

And even then, most were barred from settling in the Italian heartland. As another writer, Annalisa Merelli pointed out, it was the Roman Empire’s saving of thousands and thousands (some say upward of 200,000) of Goth tribal refugees fleeing from the Huns in 376 that led to Rome’s sack less than a century later. After a variety of mutually broken promises between the two sides, the Goths turned on their Roman rescuers at the Battle of Adrianople in 378, a massacre of Romans that saw the deaths of more than 30,000 and would eventually lead to the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

While few would suggest that today’s immigrants have plans to militarily besiege America, it does not take a leap of the imagination to extend the analogy to our own times. Like Rome, we have lost our cultural confidence and moorings, which dramatically increases our risk of being overrun both literally and metaphorically by newcomers.

President Joe Biden seldom takes any questions. That frustrates reporters, pundits, allies, and voters. It is what it is. And it’s unfortunate. But whenever Biden speaks, voters are reminded of his diminishing mental competency.

There is no way he’ll debate anyone this fall. But Dems are in lockstep behind his candidacy, apparently expecting him to beat Donald Trump to position the ultra-liberal Kamala Harris to become our 47th president. (Her many inane statements are not due to age but to incompetence.)

This brings us to the Democratic frontrunners for New Hampshire’s open Congressional District Two seat, Colin Van Ostern and Becky Whitley. Colin is 46, and Becky is 44. They are presumably pretty sharp and don’t need to hide signs of cognitive impairment. Would they answer questions? (With accompanying comments in italics.)

1. Do you support sanctuary cites in N.H.?
(Democrat gubernatorial candidates Joyce Craig and Cincy Warmington refuse to answer this simple question, knowing that a truthful answer dooms their candidacies.)

2. Do you agree with the majority of Americans who favor restricting late-term abortions of viable fetuses?
(A Harvard-Harris national poll indicated that 73% of Americans would limit horrific late-term abortions.)

3. Do you support biological boys playing on girls’ sports teams?
(Polls show over 70% of Americans oppose.)

4. Do you think Democrats should pick your Republican opponent?
(In 2022, Democrat Political Action Committees spent large sums to successfully position Bob Burns as Annie Kuster’s CD2 opponent. Kuster easily beat Burns by 12 percentage points.)

5. Do you feel important positions should be filled based more on competence or on identity politics?
(In 2020, Joe Biden committed to choosing a woman of color as a running mate, thus eliminating almost 95% of potential vice presidents based on race and gender.)

6. Do you agree with Democratic New Hampshire legislators who seek to restrict school choice and take away Education Freedom Accounts from poorer families?
(Numerous Democrat-sponsored measures in Concord have sought to do exactly that.)

7. Do you support illegal aliens/undocumented migrants getting driver’s licenses and thus voting rights?
(The Democrat-controlled N.H. House overwhelmingly supported HB397 in 2019, which would have done exactly that.)

8. Would you share specific recommendations for entitlement reform?
(Social Security will be insolvent in less than ten years.)

9. Do you agree with Democrats who say that human-induced climate change is an “existential threat” warranting carbon taxes and restrictions on gas powered vehicles?
(President Biden has often said that climate change poses a greater threat than nuclear war.)

10. Will you accept campaign money from sources hostile to Israel?
(Such as from George Soros or the Council for the National Interest.)

11. Do you agree with those who assign some blame for the current military recruiting crisis to Biden Department of Defense policies emphasizing DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and who say that this recruiting crisis impacts national security?
(Our Army and Navy are falling way short of recruiting goals.)

12. Most experts agree that our current deficit spending is unsustainable. Can you share specific proposals to address the spending crisis?
(The federal deficit for 2023 was almost $2 trillion. Our deficit spending now approximates a quarter trillion dollars a month. 16% of total federal spending now goes to service the debt.)

13. Do you agree with economists who blame the current high inflation rate on excessive government spending?
(Economics 101 teaches that if money supply grows too big relative to the size of an economy, then purchasing power decreases accordingly.)

So, there are 13 straightforward questions for your consideration. Granite State voters would surely appreciate answers. Similar questions will also be directed to other candidates from both parties.

As Henry David Thoreau once said, “The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when someone asked me what I thought.”

The post 13 Questions for Colin and Becky appeared first on Granite Grok.

Many Of us sadly have elder relatives who suffer from various stages of memory loss or dementia. We see their pain as they struggle to recall names and events. We ensure that these precious souls do not injure themselves or others. We help them with decisions they can no longer make independently.

We love these people who guided us through our lives, and now they need guidance. This journey is the circle of life, but we do not need this circle of evolution in some facets of our lives. Business and government are two where we do not need people far beyond their prime who are entrenched simply because they have always been present. People like Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Joe Biden are examples of such fixtures. They have invested a lifetime in what they call Public Service, but what I choose to title Public Absorption. They have built a powerful machine to ensure they stay in power, taking from those who unwittingly vote to keep them there. These folks are ageless parasites.

Joe Biden loves to preach about the plethora of experience and wisdom he has garnered in his fifty-plus years in Washington. Biden never had a real job, made anything, had employees, or lived within a budget. Joe Biden has spent a lifetime spending our hard-earned money on projects and causes he thinks are suitable for us. He rarely asked for our opinion, for he knew it would be the opposite of his, but that never stopped him. People like Joe, Mitch, Nancy, or Chuck are never wrong and love to point a finger at those who are. For the last three years, Joe has justified his existence and position by distracting and accusing others of wrongdoing or thinking. He is a master of gas lighting. For the last three years, one declaration permeates his message: Joe is correct, and Donald Trump and the Supreme Court are not. It is SCOTUS and Trump who have brought about desperate policies threatening American Democracy and freedom, and we must elect Biden to stand in the way of the existential threat to our existence.

Joe traveled to Florida, where he is about as popular as a gator in your backyard pool. Florida has had more than its share of illegal migrants, and the blame falls solely on Joe Biden. We all remember when Biden lashed out at Peter Doocy of FOX News, calling him a “One-Trick Pony.” Biden is becoming that pony. With the chaos at the border, the runaway inflation killing Bidenomics, two wars, and now civil unrest on campuses threatening Jewish students, Joe is playing one tune as he campaigns across America: Abortion.

Biden’s approval ratings are slipping across the spectrum, but alarmingly so with the young voters. With Democrat support softening with the Black and Brown communities, Biden cannot afford any drop in support with Millennials and Gen-Z. That is why he is beating the Abortion drum. He is in Florida to draw attention to restrictive rights favored by Trump and DeSantis. It is almost comical when Biden looks at the camera and says that Trump is wrong on the Abortion issue, and so is the Supreme Court. Joe Biden, the intellectual giant who cannot put two sentences together unless on a teleprompter and looks to Congresswoman Cortez for words of wisdom, is calling out our Supreme Court. Very rich for a man who is betting his reelection on the dismembered bodies of unwanted fetuses.

Dear Goffstown voters: you don’t get to elect an extremist like Kelly Boyer to the Board of Selectman (whoopsie; so sorry; you changed Board of Selectmen to “Select Board”), and then complain about Goffstown having a problem with extremists: Does Hate Really Have No Home In Goffstown.

What’s that, you say? Boyer is not an extremist? While Boyer may be much more careful about what she posts to social media than other extremists in the New HampshireDemocratCommunist Party, she is an extremist nonetheless.

 

The LGBTQ+ flag represents the chemical castration of children, biological males playing on girls’ school sports teams, and teachers supplanting parents. So, yeah, I would call Boyer extreme. If you don’t, maybe it’s because the abnormal …the chemical castration of children, biological males playing on girls’ school sports teams, and teachers supplanting parents … has become normal in New Hampshire.

Credit where credit is due. Boyer is an actual political activist. And a good one. Not someone, like me, who just runs his mouth. Someone who actually puts in the long hours and hard work to effect change … of course, that “change” is the transformation of Goffstown into Wokestown.

Boyer uses your values against you … let’s make Goffstown a loving, inclusive, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah place. And it works … you elect her to that institution known in the bad, old patriarchal days as the Board of Selectmen, WHERE SHE CURRENTLY SITS AS VICE “CHAIR”, which emboldens extremists. From the recent post mentioned above:

Two conservatives recently ran for Library Board of Trustees in our local election. This really bothered and triggered another extreme leftist, who happens to be our Select Board Vice Chair’s wife, and she requested the candidates’ actual library cards from the library. After receiving them from the Library Director, she proceeded to display them (including their patron codes) publicly online in order to intimidate and call them out.

You cannot have it both ways, voters of GoffstownWokestown … you cannot elect a Woke-Communist to lead your town and then complain about Woke-Communism in your town. If you want to see the root of the problem, look in the mirror.

We’ve gone silent for the last few weeks while we’ve worked on collecting audio/video authorization forms from four different District Courts in New Hampshire.  Four courts have allowed Joa to film anonymously while the Hillsborough District Court had him arrested for doing it.  These documents and requests are still pending.

Joa has filed a Motion To Compel the Release of Criminal Records to have the Court order the State to release his criminal records for trial preparation as the prosecutor was reluctant to do so.  This is a normal procedure as there are very strict rules governing the release of these records.

I’d like to mention that the prosecutor has been nothing but a gentleman and actually helpful to me personally in explaining some lawyerly procedures to me that I wasn’t too familiar with.  I believe he represents the community of Hillsborough very professionally.  I unfortunately don’t have years of law school and mock trial preparation like he and other lawyers do, so I am most grateful to him.

The trial date is presently scheduled for May 21st at 1:00PM.

The United States of America is currently experiencing a total psychological takeover from a foreign country. That country is Russia.

Nowhere is this more clear than in the halls of the federal institutions in Washington, DC. US federal officials are obsessed with Russia. They cannot stop blaming everything on the Asian country. These US officials think it is a good idea to commit such ideological obsession. Nothing good can come of such a silly infatuation.

This was blatantly put on display last week when US federal lawmakers in Congress collectively waved small Ukrainian flags in a show of support for passing legislature aimed to continue funding for financial aid to the beleaguered European country. Many of these same lawmakers decry waving their own country’s flag. These people are totally corrupted and have sold out their own country.

In fact, Ukraine today is no longer a fully functioning state. It is an extension of the US government. In a twisted expression of geopolitical power, this is in no way in the real interests of US citizens. Yet, it is US citizens’ wealth that is being squeezed away and drained.

How is this happening? It is solely due to the deeply corrupted and compromised Biden cabal, which took power in 2020 in a coup that was given cover by the US election cycle. The Biden cabal utilized biomedical and race warfare to inflame national sentiment and distract the citizenry so that it could conduct an entirely corrupt and illegal electioneering campaign.

This was all smoke and mirrors to distract US citizens and the world from one stark reality: the Biden cabal, which is essentially the US Democrat Party, is fully controlled and operated by non-US interests. Mainly, it is controlled by Chinese, British, and European military intelligence forces.

This has increasingly become apparent over the years since Biden took office. His cabal’s use of the US intelligence, media, and federal legal apparatus to destroy political opposition and censure public conversations has been entirely totalitarian. Nothing about the Biden White House’s governing style is democratic whatsoever.

Ukraine is one of the most corrupt states on the planet. What does this mean? Simply put, there is vast criminality, mostly in the forms of nepotism, embezzlement, bribery, and money laundering. For example, Ukrainian officials will take large portions of international aid money for themselves. Through various schemes and mechanisms, some of this money will be returned to the very politicians in the USA who provided the aid in the first place.

Under Joseph Biden’s administration, the USA has joined Ukraine as one of the most corrupt countries on the planet. No internationally published corruption index will show this because most of them favor the US Democrats and the Washington establishment. They are not sophisticated enough to fully understand the corruption taking place.

In whose interest is is that the USA continues to fund Ukraine? Internationally, several groups have direct interests. Firstly, the European Union, especially the western countries like Spain, France, and Germany, benefit from creating a stronger political and economic divide between Russia and the EU. It allows the countries of the EU to compete economically within the single market with less external economic pressure, because Russians have less interest and ability to attempt to compete economically in the EU.

This divergence between Europe and Russia is enforced by the US military, which is providing most of the aid in the form of military equipment and personnel support. The entire US military economy is able to continue to generate profits because this conflict with Ukraine exists. They are too myopic to see any other potential avenue for profits. The US military and its economies gain at the expense of US citizens.

China and the entire group of countries in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, politically known as BRICS, gained as well. They gain because the US is invested and distracted by the Ukraine war. The US cannot focus on so many things simultaneously, even though it pretends to. This gives enormous leeway for China and many other countries to operate. Politically, it also allows China to play neutral and take the most morally superior position while the USA sinks into a clearly amoral position of funding war— an unpopular notion.

Russia gains because this is a war that it can only win. On nearly every level, it is impossible for Russia to lose. It is too large to be defeated by Ukraine. It is too easy for Russia to control the conflict. And despite Washington’s propaganda, Russia does not need to or want to entirely annex all of Ukraine. Russia gains as long as the conflict persists because its military economies also benefit from war. Furthermore, the entire conflict puts Russia in a favorable international situation, as many countries around the world see that NATO has bullied Russia into the situation. Only the Western political elite have convinced themselves of Russia’s malfeasance. Most other intelligent people around the world can see the real role of NATO and the logic of Russia’s actions.

US citizens are the only ones who lose. US citizens’ wealth decreases every time the US government sends funds to Ukraine. Thst wealth is transferred to Ukranian oligarchs, which is in turn spread over the Eastern European region and the Mediterraneans where those individuals operate. The wealth is transferred to the US military economy, where US defense corporations and military community members gain. The wealth is transferred through inflation when the money is created rather than drawn from the tax base, and US citizens lose their purchasing power. Finally, US citizen’s voice is squelched, as any attempt to alter the situation is nullified by an oppressive and totalitarian federal government.

It is a disgusting situation. The Biden cabal is committing many crimes against its own people in order to enrich itself, even while taking government salaries for the positions its members fill during the administration.

These people in the US Democratic party and in the US Washington establishment who are enforcing this reality on the planet and in the USA are despicable people. They are totally ideologically corrupt, and they are protected by the forces of all of the people who benefit— essentially almost everyone else on the planet.

There are better ways to manage and check the growth of the USA, which is the goal in attempting to build a multipolar world. This is not the best way. It is far from the best way. The people who are complicit in allowing the situation to persist are deserving of a great punishment and a great reckoning.

The post Night Cap: The Psychological Submission of the USA appeared first on Granite Grok.

Psychology is a “science” that studies human behavior but is itself morally bankrupt.  That is, psychology is unable to scientifically define normality.  It can’t.  “Normal” depends on what the society (through “norms”) or the patient views as morally correct.

This limitation of psychological study is apparent when addressing transgenderism, until recently labeled a mental illness (“gender dysphoria”) by psychology.  Modern textbooks on transgender (and other paraphilic) disorders observe that they arise from “adverse childhood experiences” (ACEs): “Any event sufficiently stressful to threaten a fragile ego” (Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, 8th edition, Mary C. Townsend, 2015, p. 615).  But here we face a conundrum: the textbook relates that such people are “unable to use coping mechanisms effectively” and become either “adaptive” (“urges are suppressed and not acted upon”) or “maladaptive” (“urges or behaviors cause significant distress or interfere with social, occupational or other important areas of functioning”).  But if society alters its mores such that a person is rewarded for his paraphilic condition in self, occupation, or even a run for public office, then this textbook is reversed, and what was viewed as adaptive becomes toxic, and what was termed maladaptive is healthy.

Drug addiction also is linked directly to ACEs.  Is the “cure” for the disease of addiction found in affirmation or in “correction”?  In encouraging more heroin abuse or in helping people into recovery?  We must ask this question of transgenderism with the utmost compassion and introspection.  If the behavior is “normal,” there is no “condition” to address.  America’s Left has imposed the conclusion of normalcy without critically considering the effect on the patient or others.

What of people who suffer from delusions of grandeur, a common presentation of which is the quite sincere belief that they are Jesus Christ?  Shall we address them as Messiah or instead gently correct them to bring them back down to earth (reality), under the care of a talented professional?  Crucifixion would seem a harsh therapy (however affirming).  Yet the surgeries being performed on people with species or gender dysphoria are quite horrifying in their mutilation of the human body.

In Vermont, those surgeries are now available to schoolchildren!

Those affirmed in species dysphoria (the belief that one is of a different species) will become parents and cause ACEs for their children — doubtless, it is traumatizing for children to grow up with a father who “identifies” as a lizard or a mother who “feels” she is a wolf trapped in a womanly form.  This guarantees an expanding pool of victims, perpetuating the vicious cycle of child victimization that causes these emotional traumas.

Additional child victims of transgender “reorientation” by society are the girls who have brought a complaint regarding the unfair advantage gained by male high school athletes.  There are numerous effects on others from “affirming” dysphorias.

The rush to enable these mental illnesses and to instruct children that they can surgically alter their physiology at whim (“liberating” them?) is indeed dramatically altering what is normal.  The next step is to normalize species dysphoria and allow children to be surgically altered in any and all manifestations of physicality they demand.  By what logic can gender dysphoria be approved and species dysphoria rejected?

In a Georgia school, a young man was outraged that the school “singled him out” in the cafeteria and removed him…for wearing a penguin costume.  In a video, he states:

Have you seen the Georgia laws for discrimination?  You can’t discriminate against someone by who they are.  I identify as a penguin, and this is me as a penguin.  This isn’t a hood.  This is my penguin head.  You can’t tell me not to be a penguin, cause, I mean, I was born a penguin and honestly that’s against the law to discriminate and if you go through with this I will let the ACLU know and they will send their people[.]

Teachers and administrators are trying to cope with the increasing permutations of mental illness in young students.  Meanwhile, progressive hospitals are quick to offer medical, pharmaceutical, therapeutic, and other surgeries to encourage these same children.  At the University of Vermont Medical Center Transgender Youth Program, “a multi-disciplinary team of physicians and mental health providers” explains that gender identity for children is not a choice but that radically and irrevocably altering their genitals and hormones is a “normal” option:

At the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital, we believe that all people, including children and teens, should be allowed to live their lives in their preferred gender.  Gender identity is not a choice, and it cannot be changed through treatment[.] …

We provide the full spectrum of care, from simple observation and guidance to hormone suppression and gender-affirming hormonal therapy for children of all ages[.] …

We require that all our patients are in active mental health therapy as we feel this is a vital part of any gender exploration journey[.] …

We can provide a referral to the reproductive endocrinology team at the UVM Medical Center to discuss fertility preservation options if it is desired by the patient and family, and if the patient is at pubertal age[.] …

When the right time comes, planning for having children is a part of life.  Like everyone else, a transgender person has choices.  Once on pubertal suppressive treatment and/or gender affirming hormones, the likelihood of being able to have biological offspring decreases significantly or is not possible at all.  It’s good to plan ahead.

Just as suboxone is offered as the lifetime cure-all for substance abuse, the pharmaceutical industry offers lifetime drug therapies for these children at government expense.  Most people do not become dependent on suboxone until adulthood.  In Vermont, the progressives are connecting pharmaceutical companies to their customers at a much earlier age through lifetime hormone therapies, sometimes without parental consent.

History will reflect that this transgender experiment on Vermont’s children is as insane as the eugenics movement, which in Vermont led to the sterilization of people “for the public good.”  Or perhaps the better parallel was the period when lobotomies were in vogue, before society realized how ridiculous that acclaimed “solution” was.  America champions the cause of women from foreign cultures who endure societal genital mutilation but somehow fails to see the reflection of that mutilation in today’s U.S. hospitals.

Mutilating the genitals of young children will surely one day lead to a cascade of lawsuits against the State of Vermont.  These sex surgeries are as irreversible as lobotomies.  In a time when municipalities may hesitate to install new playground equipment for fears of liability, these hospitals are unconcerned with future reimbursement of these children when they regret these rash procedures in the future — or when society reverts to the old normal.  Perhaps these hospitals and government agencies should set aside a financial reserve, just in case some of these young boys regret permitting physicians to alter their “penis tissue” “to construct a vaginal cavity between the rectum and urethra … with the depth and appearance of a biologically developed vagina.”

That just does not sound normal at any age.

(September 16, 2019)

Postscript:

“A new systematic review of international clinical guidelines for children with gender dysphoria found a “lack of evidence” for transition treatments for minors and also accused the medical authorities who recommend such treatments of engaging in “circular referencing,” or exclusively citing one another’s recommendations to create an artificial expert consensus, according to reporting from Christina Buttons. The study, commissioned by Dr. Hilary Cass as part of her evidence review for the U.K. National Health Service, found that the main organizations that have endorsed “gender-affirming care” for children—including the Endocrine Society, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the American Psychological Association, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and the American Academy of Pediatrics—consistently cited one another’s guidelines and conclusions without conducting any independent research, thus creating the illusion of widespread professional and scientific agreement on the safety and efficacy of these treatments.”

It's Passover, so Steven was unavailable; Alu seizes the opportunity for a hostile takeover of the podcast and begins throwing AnCap bombs from the first moment! The crew gets into a heated debate about whether the government should ever interfere with private contracts and whether discrimination should ever be outlawed; four different opinions emerge, and many brilliant points are made; the Eds seem to argue that the government is necessarily a party to all contracts.

The post The Conservatarian Exchange Podcast #203 appeared first on The Liberty Block.

In January 2024, there was a meeting of the New Hampshire House State-Federal Relations and Veteran Affairs committee. The committee heard two separate bills on secession.

The first one, CACR 20, would be a constitutional amendment that would see the people of NH vote to amend the constitution to say that if the federal government’s national debt reaches $40 trillion, New Hampshire shall peacefully secede from the union.
The second one, HB1130 would form a commission to study everything we would need to know about secession, such as economic impact.

This is video of the full public hearing for both bills and the people’s testimonies.

On Wednesday morning, NHexit.US announced that local liberty activists in New Hampshire have hired a chartered airplane pilot to fly a pro-independence banner over the three largest cities in the state. Over the past few years, the calls for serious discussions on peaceful separation of New Hampshire from DC and the union have grown dramatically. New Hampshire is already home to the most influential liberty movement in the world.

Notable events since 2021 include:

• legislation to place an independence referendum on the ballot which was sponsored by nine lawmakers in the New Hampshire House
• a poll by SurveyUSA finding that almost 100% of NH residents strongly resent the federal government and 29% are ready to secede immediately
• increasing demands by lawmakers and the centrist governor telling the DC tyrants to back off 
• An abundance of pro-independence sentiment, including flags for the Granite Republic, hats, T-shirts, books, articles, and podcasts, and even a national anthem

This Saturday, an airplane banner could be added to that list. The tentative plan is for the banner to fly over Nashua, Manchester, and Concord. If you look up while in one of these cities, you just might be able to snap a photo or record a video of the banner. We encourage our readers to post their photos to social media with the tags #NHexit, #secession, and #NHpolitics. 

Additionally, the question of secession will be asked by another highly reputable pollster. The University of New Hampshire is currently conducting a political survey that includes multiple questions related to New Hampshire independence. The results could be published within days or a few weeks. 

 

 

The post Secession Airplane Banner Flying Over Merrimack Valley Saturday appeared first on Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.

A recent poll conducted by SurveyUSA on behalf of the Foundation for New Hampshire Independence (FNHI) shows that while the peaceful separation of New Hampshire from the federal government has low support among politicians, it has significant support among registered voters.

According to an overwhelming number of respondents, the people of the United States are getting more and more divided over important issues like LGBT rights, guns, abortion, election integrity, race relations, involvement in foreign wars, climate change, immigration, and so on (91%).  Nearly as many fear that if this trend continues, it will lead to increases in political violence (89%).

Large majorities of respondents agreed that the federal government doesn’t have their best interests in mind (67%); that it violates their rights more than it protects those rights (65%); that it produces laws, regulations, and court rulings that are incompatible with New Hampshire’s culture of freedom (63%); and that its financial decisions and economic regulations hurt our livelihoods, and could lead to inflation and bankruptcy (77%).

In short, 63% of respondents feel that their state can be trusted more than the federal government.

One possible way forward would be for New Hampshire to begin ignoring federal laws and regulations regarding matters reserved to the States by the 10th Amendment. Fewer than half of respondents believe that the federal government should be able to force New Hampshire to follow federal mandates and laws regarding cannabis (27%), medicine (37%), public health (42%), education (41%), welfare (42%, firearms (42%), businesses (38%), and abortion (33%).

This approach, also referred to as ‘nullification’ is common, currently being utilized by dozens of states, and is consistent with the recent enactment of New Hampshire HB 1178, ‘prohibiting the state from enforcing any federal statute, regulation, or Presidential Executive Order that restricts or regulates the right of the people to keep and bear arms’. 

However, a more comprehensive way forward would be for New Hampshire to reclaim its sovereignty, peacefully separating from the federal government to govern itself as an independent country, an idea that was supported by 29% of respondents and 52% of Republicans. Only 58% of respondents do not support immediate and full secession from the federal government today. More than 2/5 of respondents agreed that the state should be able to do this without securing permission from the federal government (43%). And only 3% of respondents would support the use of military force by the federal government to interfere with such a separation.

Again, while politicians declined to put the question to the people, more than 2/5 of respondents support the idea of placing independence on the ballot (42%) while only 47% currently oppose it.

History is filled with proposals that seemed at first to be politically impossible, but after serious discussion and evolving circumstances, proved to be politically inevitable. To take just one example, shall-issue laws for concealed carry licenses, once viewed as extreme, are now the law in nearly every state. As the results of this poll show, peaceful separation already has more support now than shall-issue laws had in 1990. Today, not only is shall-issue the norm, but 25 states allow their residents to carry concealed guns without even requiring a permit. If New Hampshire independence follows a similar path, it may only be a few short years away from broad adoption. 

The survey also found strong support for independence and extreme discontent with DC politicians among all 8 states polled. In Texas, 90% of Republicans recently endorsed putting secession on the ballot, officially placing the position in their platform. California progressives have a strong independence movement of their own, and surveys show that around half of Californians support or are open to independence from the union. Progressives in Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington also support independence. States like South Carolina, Florida, and many other states have new independence movements that are rapidly growing, as well. 

The post New Hampshire Survey Shows Disdain For DC, Support For Independence appeared first on Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.

Over the past few weeks, a group of pro-freedom activists in New Hampshire has been holding informal meetings to brainstorm how to best promote independence in the next legislative session. Predictably, progressive authoritarians have already begun to attack the concepts of independence and liberty. A few conservatives cling to hope that they can fix DC and all 50 states, convince all Democrats to embrace conservative liberty values, and ‘save America’. 

 

I have written dozens of articles, published three books, and produced hundreds of videos making the case for a national divorce from the authoritarians. Here are just 100 reasons why every New Hampshire citizen who supports freedom should support a bill and a ballot referendum on independence from DC. 

 

1. Without the federal income tax, we’d each save around $25,000/year right off the bat.
2. The IRS is corrupt, tyrannical, and about to grow by 80,000 employees and billions of dollars. Years ago, they were caught targeting conservatives. Now, they are surely much more polarized and hateful against us. I could live without them.
3. The ATF is extremely anti-gun. They have been one of the biggest reasons that federal gun control laws have grown increasingly strict. The ATF passes laws and bypasses Congress. Once the murderous criminal, Dave Chipman is confirmed as the new ATF director, things will get much worse. I could live without the ATF. Once we divorce DC by declaring independence from the union, the ATF will no longer have jurisdiction over us. 
4. The CDC is out of control, and the agency will only ever grow more tyrannical. This was before corona-fascism made the CDC into the most harmful agency to liberty of all 400 illegal executive agencies. By the way, did you know that the CDC took legal ownership over every rental property in the united states?
5. I don’t trust Joe Biden to run my life or to do anything that could impact me. I have around 28 trillion reasons for distrusting that corrupt, evil, demented sociopath. 
6. I don’t trust Congress to run my life. They have proven time and again that they support authoritarian socialism. Even with majorities in the House and the Senate and even with Trump in the White House, Congress did nearly nothing to expand liberty. But they did pass many laws that violated my natural rights. 
7. The federal government benefits from terribly untrustworthy elections, such as the one in 2020. Once HR1 passes into law, all elections in the united states will be required to abide by the same insane rules that caused us all to doubt the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
8. Once HR51 passes into law, DC will be a state, complete with two more hardcore socialist Senators. The Democrats will control the Senate forever.
9. If you aren’t a big fan of sobriety checkpoints, you’ll be happy to learn that they are federally funded. Once we divorce the feds, it’s unlikely that any local police dept. will spend the money on the checkpoints. 
10. If you aren’t a big fan of immigration checkpoints, you’ll be happy to learn that they are federally funded and/or conducted. Once we divorce the feds, it’s unlikely that any local police dept. will spend the money on the checkpoints. 
11.  Local cops only use tanks, drones, BEARcats, and other aggressive military gear against us because the feds give them those toys. Once we cut ties with DC, our local cops will return to their proper role as peace officers instead of acting as soldiers against us.
12. One of the reasons that Dictator Sununu locked us down and derailed our economy involved pressure and money from DC encouraging him to do so. 
13. If you don’t like being forced to pay for the DC politicians to wage futile endless wars in dozens of countries all over the world while veterans, women, and babies in our own communities starve on the streets, it means you want to separate from DC. 
14. If you are ready to give up on the war on drugs and stop sending cops to homes to punish people for consuming a plant, separating from DC is the first step you must take. DC politicians STILL consider cannabis a schedule one top-tier dangerous substance that is 100% illegal to possess. 
15. Do you love it when cops steal your property (car, house, money, guns, etc.) without convicting you of a crime? Well, federal law allows law enforcement to seize any property that could be involved in a past, present, or even future crime. And the feds have ‘extended’ that authority to state and local cops. Once we sever ties with DC, cops in NH lose the power of civil asset forfeiture.
16. If you ever wondered why bad cops almost never receive any punishment, you should know that ‘qualified immunity’ is a federal doctrine. Without DC, local cops become much more accountable to their neighbors.
17. The millions of federal regulations cost businesses over 2 trillion dollars each year in lost productivity. Once we divorce DC, our businesses will truly be able to unleash their creativity, making New Hampshire more prosperous than we could ever imagine.
18. Who should decide whether NH accepts illegal aliens or Afghan refugees? Biden and Pelosi or our governor and legislature?
19. Are you tired of being ruled by nine lawyers in long black robes who live in DC and have the power of Gods? If five out of the nine rule a certain way, that becomes the law for all 330,000,000 people in the united states.  
20. The federal reserve and DC politicians have overseen a decline in 99% of the US dollar’s purchasing power over the past century.
21. DC politicians have run up a debt of 28 trillion dollars and counting. And they claim that you and I are responsible for it. 
22. Nearly every politician has ambitions and eventually wishes to be sent to DC. This affects nearly every decision they make. Once DC is no longer in their minds, they will focus on what is most important: you.
23. Federal law enforcement (including the FBI) have shown themselves to be thoroughly corrupt. Even conservative commentators like Dan Bongino have called for their abolition. A few months ago, the FBI and other federal cops came to New Hampshire and violently kidnapped six of my friends. They are charging them with crimes that could result in them spending the remainder of their lives in federal prison. Their excuse? That my friends committed some victimless crimes by using and selling cryptocurrency. Once we leave DC, that will never happen again. 
24. Want a suppressor so that you can save your hearing? They are only illegal because the feds prohibit them. Without the feds, NH would be totally free, and you could put a suppressor on your SBR without any worries. 
25. Are you worried about increasingly strict EPA restrictions on vehicles, houses, and everything else? Once we divorce DC, they will have no jurisdiction over us.
26. Are you sick of random federal judges issuing injunctions that overrule actual laws passed by Congress or state legislatures? An independent NH would not have to worry one bit about federal judges.
27. The DC politicians are destroying the once-mighty American military. Their current secretary of defense and commander-in-chief continually insist that the #1 priority for their military is pleasing LGBT individuals. An independent New Hampshire could have a military with a top priority of defending us against hostile militaries. As it should be.
28. Have you accumulated a respectable net worth? Soon, the federal government will tax your net worth each year in addition to all of the other taxes. 
29. The US Congress literally does not represent you or me.
30. The federal government hates you. Especially if you are white. 
31. Multiple federal court rulings have declared that the first amendment does not protect any speech that is insulting, especially towards a government agent. 
32. Right now, even policies that you think are set by state lawmakers are really controlled by the feds via extortion. 
33. If the thought of Pelosi’s Capitol Police Force growing worries you …. You might support NH independence from DC. 
34. If you would rather have your highway taxes spent on highways … You might be a NHexiter.
35. Do you think that Facebook and Twitter are too powerful and too damaging to liberty? Federal law grants them effective immunity from lawsuits while also granting them the power to manipulate content. They get to act as both a publisher and a platform, whichever suits them at the moment. 
36. If you support sound, free-market money like gold and silver (and crypto) ….You already support NHexit. It’s only a matter of time before the feds ban them.
37. If you are afraid that Donald Trump might become President again …. You just might be a NHexiter.
38. If you are afraid that Kamala Harris might become President…. You just might be a NHexiter.
39. If you think that Title IX is a major reason that free speech and due process in colleges were destroyed, you support NHexit.
40. If you believe that boys should not have a free pass to the girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers, you support NH independence. 
41. If you can’t count the billions of federal laws….you might support independence.
42. The FDA hurts and kills patients by stifling innovation and preventing people from using medications until the FDA spends decades of time and billions of dollars approving them.
43. Cutting ties with DC would immediately and drastically cut prices and improve the availability of drugs like epinephrine, insulin, loperamide, and many others. 
44. DC politicians use the federal department of education to brainwash your children to hate freedom. Once we are independent, that goes away.
45. The federal government believes that showing online ads to specific cohorts is a crime.
46. If you are not comfortable with the REAL ID becoming a dystopian federal identification card, you might be an NHexit supporter.  
47. Support in Congress for a magazine ban is getting very close to a majority. In a few years, your magazines will be federally illegal. 
48. Once HR127 passes Congress, every firearm will be effectively illegal. Hope you’re ready to turn in your guns to the feds! You are a patriot and not a criminal, so you’d never violate federal law, right? 
49. It is very likely that Congress (or federal regulators) ban armor plates for all civilians very soon. Hope you’re ready to turn in your plates!
50. Even the best ‘conservatives’ in DC are working with Bloomberg to take away your guns.
51. Technically speaking…the federal government should not exist anymore. 
52. Federal judges have ruled that police have no legal obligation to protect you. 
53. The federal government thinks it can take your property by force, as long as it plans to use the property for anything that could benefit the government, including giving your property to companies like Pfizer. Without DC, states and localities have no power of eminent domain (AKA theft of property).
54. Federal politicians from Biden to McConnell and everyone in between consistently sell us out to oligarchs like Putin and Xi to enrich themselves. 
55. We can’t take power back from Congress, even with a Convention of States.
56. The DC politicians incentivize single motherhood and discourage employment. 
57. If you don’t believe that global warming is the biggest threat to our lives, you should not be in the same union as DC, the federal government, and the other states. 
58. If you don’t appreciate being spied on by the NSA and other creepy DC agents and politicians, you should consider divorcing them. 
59. If you don’t want to support the Taliban by providing them with money and military weapons and helicopters, you should leave the union and stop paying federal taxes. 
60. The federal government considers people guilty until proven innocent – the opposite of how it was supposed to be. Peaceful protesters have been receiving punishments in prison for months despite never being convicted. If you support due process, you support NHexit.
61. The federal TSA regularly violates our natural rights, despite literally missing 95% of actual threats. 
62. DC politicians maintain a horrifically managed ‘no-fly list’, which mistakenly puts many people (including babies) onto the list, preventing them from flying. It’s also nearly impossible to get off of the list. 
63. Conservatives from Candace Owens to Matt Walsh have spoken in support of state independence from DC. 
64. Federal government leaders believe that if you don’t wear all the masks they recommend and if you don’t get all of the vaccines they recommend, you are just like the Taliban suicide bombers. 
65. DC politicians prohibit beneficial pipelines that would have been amazing for our national security and economy while simultaneously supporting pipelines for nations that are hostile to us. 
66. Who is arming the violent Mexican drug cartels? Federal agents from DC!
67. The federal government has kidnapped innocent Japanese people and put them in concentration camps. New Hampshire has never done that. And they couldn’t ever do that. Because we all have lots of guns. 
68. The US government banned firearms and ammunition from Russia. New Hampshire would never do that.
69. The US government puts many kids in cages at the border. New Hampshire would handle immigration in a much more sensible and humane way. 
70. Things will literally never change for the better. Even with Trump in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress and the SCOTUS, freedom only diminished and tyranny continued to grow.
71. New Hampshire citizens are the hardest workers and earn the most money, which is demonstrated by our continent-leading median household income. We don’t need DC politicians to be wealthy.
72. New Hampshire is the freest state. Nearly all of our issues are caused by federal laws. Once we are independent, we will be almost 100% free to live as we please!
73. New Hampshire is the safest state. We don’t need DC or other states bringing violence to our peaceful paradise. 
74. Half of the people in the united states believe that Biden was legitimately elected and that Republicans are all traitors, while the other half believes that Biden lost the election and progressives are traitors. How could one country be united if its people hate each other so much? 
75. The DC politicians now feel so entitled to infinite power that they essentially ban medications that could help treat COVID, such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. 
76. DC politicians are so arrogant that they no longer feel the need to pass legislation in Congress; they now use executive orders to pass new laws, including the most recent one forcing all private companies in the united states with over 100 employees to vaccinate their employees or test them for COVID weekly. This will affect 80 million employees. If you don’t want DC sociopaths coming between you and your employer (or you and your doctor), you support independence. 
77. When conservative states began having success treating COVID with monoclonal antibodies Biden and DC politicians began to BLOCK the life-saving treatments from getting to pro-freedom anti-Biden states like Alabama and Florida, potentially causing people to die.
78. DC politicians have made it clear that they will continue to prioritize foreign nationals and illegal immigrants over American citizens like you and me.
79. On the other hand, DC politicians have made it very clear that Cuban immigrants are not welcome here (because they tend to vote for freedom and against communism). 
80. The Biden IRS is now going to monitor every bank account with over $600 in it so that they can tax all people who make any money in any way. Those who receive more than $600 in PayPal transactions in a year will also be subject to taxation, according to experts. Peaceful separation solves this IRS issue because the IRS would no longer have any jurisdiction over us. 
81. When NH adopted federal food laws, it made selling mushrooms illegal, among many other prohibitions. Now, the only way to make it legal for anyone in NH to sell mushrooms is to create more regulation requiring ‘licenses’, which is somewhat counterproductive. The only other way to make mushrooms legal in NH would be to sever ties with DC. 
82. Dictator Biden nominated an actual Soviet communist to be the comptroller of the currency. If you don’t want your country’s financial system to be run by an avowed communist, you support separation from DC.  
83. On 10/8/21, the preliminary deal on a GLOBAL tax on businesses was officially agreed to. A total of 136 countries have signed onto the measure, guaranteeing that they will work together to stomp out businesses seeking to evade taxes by implementing at least a 15% tax on them, no matter where they come from. Once New Hampshire becomes a self-governing state, its low (or absent) tax on business could attract so much business to the state that it could cause the biggest economic boom in world history. 
84. Dictator Biden’s OSHA implemented a vaccine mandate for nearly every worker in the united states. It is extremely unlikely that an individual could beat this in federal courts or via federal legislation. Separating from the union is actually the more practical way to nullify this mandate. 
85. A federal law to require all new cars to have passive drunk-driving monitoring technology is about to go into effect, making all cars in the united states more expensive and much more intrusive. The law does not specify, but the new technology may be tantamount to perpetual breathalyzers and/or eye monitoring in every car. 
86. The medical system and all medical institutions in the united states are becoming increasingly racist towards whites, and it all starts with DC politicians. 
87. The Supreme Court is composed of 9 judges. The SCOTUS is perhaps the most powerful entity in the united states now. These nine judges are either evil or mentally retarded. They certainly do not believe in freedom. Is that who you want to be ruled by?
88. The US House of Representatives passed legislation that would take over control of elections, taking the power that always resided with the states and granting it to DC politicians. Among the many measures in the legislative package was a law that prohibited any election in the united states from requiring ID in order to vote. New Hampshire citizens who would like to retain their voter ID law must either support secession or give up voter ID forever once this federal law passes. 
89. DC politicians just passed a law mandating that all vehicles made after 2026 be equipped with perpetual monitoring systems to detect ‘impaired driving’. The vehicles must also have ‘kill switches’ that allow cops to turn them off at any moment. If you don’t like this policy, secession is the only solution. 
90. In the summer of 2022, federal government will begin to require facial recognition/uploading pictures of your face in order to access tax/ documents on the IRS website.
91. The President announced that the next US Supreme Court Judge he nominates will be a black woman. Upon joining the court, she will likely hear a massively important case involving ‘affirmative action’.
92. DC politicians are literally stealing our organs. In 2021, a policy change at UNOS essentially caused nearly all organs from donors in New Hampshire to be sent to NYC, CT, and MA, harming New Hampshire’s patients who desperately need organs to live. DC is viciously fighting NH legislation that would allow Granite Staters to state their preference that their neighbors be granted priority over foreigners if they pass away with viable organs. 
93. The brilliant experts in DC are using $30,000,000 in taxpayer funds to give out drug paraphernalia, including crack pipes, to drug users. The statement from the DC politicians specifically mentioned that they are being distributed primarily to minorities and that they are to be used for illegal drugs. 
94. Our Lords in DC believe that they must force New Hampshire to build more housing projects so that our state could look more like the Bronx.  
95. Our brilliant Lords in DC are destroying our savings and devaluing our salaries by printing so much money that annual inflation is now at a frightening 9.1% annual rate.
96. DC politicians have been forcing you and me to pay for dangerous bioweapons labs in Ukraine for years. 
97. Your federal tax dollars are being used to pay Tik Tok influencers to create and promote propaganda approved by Dictator Biden. If you don’t want to be forced to fund such endeavors, you may want to consider secession. 
98. If you don’t enjoy paying $6 billion for the annual NIAID budget doled out by Anthony Fauci to fund foreign bioweapons labs and development and approval of ludicrously expensive patented pharmaceuticals and suppress use of cheap off-patent drug, you should consider supporting a vote of NH residents to leave the union.
99. The federal government violates free speech in numerous ways. Leaving their jurisdiction solves these issues and restores freedom of speech, expression, press, association, and worship. 
100. The federal government is increasingly racist. Most recently, Dictator Biden nominated a black woman to be a judge on the highest court because of her gender and skin color. Ironically, she will likely soon be ruling on an affirmative action case.
