House Speaker Forms Special Committee on COVID Response Efficacy

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 14:00 +0000

Concord, NH: Today, House Speaker Sherman Packard (R-Londonderry) announced the formation of the Special Committee on COVID Response Efficacy:

The bipartisan committee is tasked with investigating and evaluating the State’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee will function in a science-based, fact-finding review, specifically acquiring comprehensive, accurate data and all related information pertaining thereto.

Areas of particular focus will include the administration of Federal guidance, acceptance of Federal Funds, and implementation of Emergency Use Authorization vaccination efforts. A report will be issued outlining the committee’s findings and the impact on New Hampshire citizens.

Rep. Barbara Comtois of Barnstead will serve as chair of the Special Committee.

Pursuant to House Rule 29, the committee will be comprised of an equal number of Democratic and Republican members, reflecting the nearly even partisan make-up of the House.

“A large number of House members indicated interest in having the legislature take a look at this subject matter and asked me to form this Special Committee. This process should help us understand more about the state’s response during the pandemic and help us shape public policy to better prepare us for future emergency response efforts,” Packard said.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Also Transitions You … To a Higher Risk of Cancer

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 13:00 +0000

The gender-bending trend comes with side effects that might be more troubling than being convinced by your government therapist (school teachers) that you are not your birth sex. Death, for example.

In the study, people with gender dysphoria who had ever used hormone replacements saw nearly seven times the risk of ischemic stroke (a blockage in a vessel supplying blood to the brain), nearly six times the risk of ST elevation myocardial infarction (the most serious type of heart attack) and nearly five times the risk of pulmonary embolism (a blockage in an artery in the lung), compared with people with gender dysphoria who had never used hormone replacements.

There are tens of thousands of reported unintended effects, many severe or permanent, like chemical castration, and now the American Cancer Society – which apparently can’t find any data to sift after 2020, which is not at all suspicious – was able to report that,

Is the fact that women don’t have a prostate a factor in the reduced risk among transmen? I’m no scientist, but I’d have to think it was, but the risk of cancers is still higher.

I’m sure Biden’s Ministry of Fairness is working on a way to blame straight white Christian men, which won’t be difficult. While whitey has higher rates of new cancer, he is (slightly) less likely to die of it than his black brother – though that’s likely to change. Minorities were smart enough to embrace vaccine hesitancy in more significant numbers in recent (COVID) years. While experts are baffled by the sudden rise in turbo cancers that the American Cancer Society can’t seem to report (still not suspicious), they are out there.

The other bit in that pull quote from the not-at-all right-wing American Cancer Institute is the increased risk of breast cancer among lesbian and bisexual women “due to higher prevalence risk factors, including fewer childbirth, higher alcohol use, and excess weight.” That’s their science, not mine. Lifestyle choices matter, and those add to the likelihood of cancer.

Without saying it, this also suggests that abortion may increase the risk of breast cancer among heterosexual women – assuming childbirth leads to breastfeeding, which is also under attack but has been known for years to coincide with reduced breast cancer risk. That’s good to know in case any Transwomen want to reduce their hormone-therapy-increased risk of breast cancer by trying to chest-feed.

Or something.

Nikki Haley is George Bush in a Dress

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 11:00 +0000

Nikki “Read My Lips” Haley! Where have we heard this before? And Nikki is financed by the same elitist money that paid Old Man Bush to say that, and, based on Nikki’s prior political history, we will suffer the same result if she is ever given the keys to the White House.

Nikki has always been for something before she is against it, and vice versa. Let’s see why Nikki cannot be trusted:

In the presence of Chris Sununu, Nikki says: “The structure (of the primary) is really amusing. Iowa starts it. YOU CHANGE PERSONALTIES, then you go into New Hampshire.”

In 2021, Nikki vowed not to step in the way if Trump ran for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Nikki was opposed to President Trump’s building of a border wall in 2016. Nikki also supports amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens who broke the law to enter the U.S.

Apparently, Nikki reneged on her promise not to oppose Trump because of the Wall Street mega-donors, including billionaire investors Stanley Druckenmiller, Eric Levine, Terry Kassel, and Annie Dickerson. Even Democrat Jamie Dimon is reportedly considering Nikki (see Financial Times article by Alex Rogers and Brooke Masters, dated 11/ 16/ 2023). This explains the endless nauseating TV ad attacks New Hampshire has been subjected to.

Nikki promised no new taxes to win the South Carolina governorship and then pulled a George Herbert Walker Bush.

Nikki even made her husband change his name from Bill to Mike

Nikki’s personality is Doctor Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde. We never know which Nikki will show up. Further, her campaign promises to melt like a shooting star entering Earth’s atmosphere or ride away into the universe on the aptly named “ Haley’s Comet.”

Please join Rand Paul in being “ Never Nikki.”

Night Cap: If They Can Get Pregnant Maybe They Are Not Really ‘Boys’

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 03:00 +0000

This is fun and self-fulfilling if by “self” you mean the government, and by “fulfilling,” you mean creating problems with taxpayer dollars you then claim can be solved with the loose change left on the Cambriole or between the cushions of daddy’s Chesterfield.

That’s the entire Democrat party platform, right there. Use our money to break shit, then take more not to fix it. The finders’ fees are out of this world and perrenial. You could make a career out of this sort of money laundering and live well long before you retire. Wait, that’s Congress!

And look what they did or (maybe) didn’t stop.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is awarding nearly $700,000 taxpayer dollars to back pregnancy prevention programs for young girls who identify as boys, warning that “heteronormative” sexual education is inadequate.

The $698,736 grant, which began in September 2023 and will continue until June 2027, according to government disclosures, will be allocated to the Center for Innovative Public Health Research, a non-profit that seeks to create “an inclusive teen pregnancy program for transgender boys.”

Boys can’t get pregnant, but girls pretending to be boys can – which is sort of a spoiler alert if you take my meaning. It also means that girls pretending to be unicorns, or x-gendered space aliens, conifers, your second cousin’s stuffed Pikachu, or telephone poles can get pregnant, too. It’s quite the list of spoiler alerts. Try as you might, a rose by any other name… The list of possibilities is – and I use this word with care – literally endless. But there’s no recurring revenue stream in admitting as much  – not nearly as much.

So, they created a mental health crisis with the help of the trillions of dollars siphoned through Democrat party recruiting clinics doing business as public schools. No time for math or literacy but plenty of time for mind-f**kery, which might explain the recent fascination with schools asking to be recognized as health clinics – or legislators asking that for them. How about doggie daycares or cat cafes – word has it that some schools have litterboxes, so your little darlings can pretend to be cats. You pay 20,000- a year for that so it must be legit.

Most school systems represent about 70% of a town’s budget, yet you cannot teach children to read something other than porn. It is a wonder why anyone would trust you with their children’s mental and physical health ( they want in school clinics, don’t you know). Who can imagine how much more that will cost with the very reasonable assumption that the results will be the same as with reading and math. And one might guess we’d already done all of that, and if you looked up from your phone for a few minutes, you’d see they have or soon will.

Whatever or whenever these preordained (planned!) failures demand another line item in the ledger of things upon which we’ll be taxing our great-grandchildren’s not-yet-realized earnings. If you were born with a vagina but are convinced that it makes you a boy (you decide who the fools are in that equation), extra precaution is necessary to instruct these “boys” on where to get an abortion.

It is, after all, always about abortion.

If you are a boy with a vagina and you let a boy with a penis use it as a masturbation aid (or a girl with a penis, for that matter), you might get pregnant. If you’d rather not be that, here are some resources to relieve you of the clump of cells – which we’d not have to do if you’d just had the much more expensive surgery that was suggested. But you can’t just say that. They are spending about 700 million dollars to create “Messaging [that] will be gender-affirming” and will “reduce internalized transphobia,” the award description adds.

“Look, you’ve still got a vagina and all the responsibility that comes with it,” but you’re a boy, and we still want to profit off any unwanted pregnancy, but we’ve made your mind so fragile (at the Democrat party recruiting clinics doing business as public schools – and maybe TikTok and Tmblr) that we can’t say it like that, which seems odd to me. If it is a revealed truth that a biological being with a vagina can be a boy and that you are a bigot if you refuse to accept that, then where’s the fire? We’re erasing distinctions. Boy and girl are the new Aloha.

Aloha (/əˈloʊhɑː/ ə-LOH-hah, Hawaiian: [əˈlohə]) is the Hawaiian word for love, affection, peace, compassion, and mercy, which is commonly used as a greeting. It has a deeper cultural and spiritual significance to native Hawaiians, for whom the term is used to define a force that holds together existence.

Hello, goodbye, is that a banana in your pocket, miss?

If the label has many meanings or none at all, then the underlying structure (and if you’ve got a penis, you have a lot of responsibility too, especially in divorce court) the problem isn’t inclusion in the progressive sense. It is inclusion in the biological sense, and we used to have words for that.

Boy. Girl. Man. Woman.

If you’ve stayed with me, you likely have discovered a great way we could save our great-grandchildren trillions of dollars.

Dear Kim Jong Un, Happy 40th birthday! Happy New Year! Are you on Facebook?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-01-20 01:00 +0000

I’ve been meaning to thank you for introducing the word “Dotard” into our vernacular. Having never heard the word before, I now find that it has so many applications.

How about our new President Joe-tard? He takes himself off the New Hampshire primary ballot. Next, he sends out instructions on how to write him in, saying our future is on the line with this vote. So why make it hard to vote for him? What a Joe-tard!

You were right about Donald, the original Dotard, too. He and Joetard tag-teamed to spend many trillions of dollars on COVID response – to combat a disease that was not very serious.

Is COVID not that serious? When asked, at Governor Sununu’s 4/29/21 press conference, about who was dying from COVID. Dr. Beth Daly of New Hampshire’s Health and Human Services Department told us:

“I think the first question you wanted to know about who the people are, in terms of age and medical comorbidity. And all of the deaths, except for one or maybe two, have — are either 65-and-older or have underlying medical conditions.”

We want to thank Joseph Mirzoeff for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

There were more than 1300 dead with COVID in New Hampshire when she spoke. Dr. Daly basically told us they were mostly dying from other causes. It is hard to understand why the government, media, and educational institutions were so gung-ho to coerce healthy people and pregnant women to be injected with an experimental vaccine.

President Kim, if you wish to strengthen your own authoritarianism in North Korea, you should study our CIA and its grip on our mainstream media.

There’s a third dotard, the worst of all, Anthony Fauci, Toney Baloney. Totard helped censor reasonably cheap medicines, like protocols with hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, that were curing people all during 2020. Instead, Totard and Dotard tag-teamed to inflict more than 70% of us with the COVID experimental vaccine. Later, long after the COVID experimental vaccine was known to do more harm than good, Joetard mandated that healthcare workers and those employed by government contractors be injected with this bioweapon. By the way, Totard spent millions of US tax dollars helping fund a Chinese bio-war lab’s COVID research.

There are two recent independent studies on the results of COVID vaccination. One, based on data from 17 countries, found that one in 800 COVID vaccine recipients died from a COVID shot. The other, based on data from five countries, conservatively found one in 1000 died from COVID shots. Both studies found no compensating benefits. One in 800 means 17 million died worldwide from the shots; 1 in 1000 means more than 13 million died. Neither study accounts for long-term effects and illnesses yet to be discovered nor the costs of the many non-fatal adverse effects of these shots.

Back in the USA, insurance companies that insure employed individuals (one of our healthiest demographics) report a 40% increase in death and disabilities during 2021, the year that many of the employed were coerced into taking the COVID jabs (10% is two-sigma, i.e., very unlikely). About half the increase were COVID-related deaths.

None of the three, Dotard, Totard, and Joetard, have admitted wrongdoing nor apologized. Dotard is right about Nikki Haley, though. She is a throwback to the authoritarianism and militarism of the Bush Crime Family ($6 trillion spent on failing war efforts, the patriot Act, TSA…).

Anyway, have a great year. If you are ever in Keene, NH, please say hello.

Our library has the book Cause Unknown by Ed Dowd, a great 90-minute read. Another great book is Turtles All the Way Down Vaccine Science and Myth (first Chapter is all you need). Our library also has the movie VAXXED, don’t miss it! It explains how government agencies and capitalist corporations cooperate to lie to the public, punish whistleblowers, poison the public, and falsify health-related research.

In case you are interested, I’ll be voting for Robert F Kennedy Jr or Governor DeSantis who both acted heroically and in the interest of the public in their responses to COVID. Unlike the Dotard, Governor DeSantis was competent, reduced Florida’s debt, and wasn’t disloyal to his wife and kids.

P.S. I’ve also summarized three years of New Hampshire COVID death data from NH state records (below).

Please pay particular attention to the bottom line, showing that the proportion of citizens dying with COVID under age 70 tripled when the COVID experimental vaccine was made available to them and coerced. Please feel free to call with questions, there’s much more to share: 603 354 3380 mrzvyp@aol.com

Where JP Morgan Catches up to The ‘Grok on the 2024 Election

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 23:00 +0000

We’ve been saying it for months. Biden will likely have the Democrat party nomination handed to him, but not long after, he will have to drop out. Would that make this the third consecutive DNC primary fraud – where the party lets voters think they are choosing their candidate? It’s probably more than three, but I digress.

I’m still surprised they didn’t kill him in 2020 and claim he died of COVID, replacing him with a younger champion of the Party’s Public Health INdustrial Omplex Laundromat. Talk about earned COVID tyranny media. But that didn’t happen. Instead, they crammed the ballot boxes and pushed his barely functioning carcass into the Oval Office. A meat puppet is always more desirable than someone who might try to do what they want. And you’d be right to wonder why that might not apply in 2024.

Weekend at Bernie’s.

They can’t keep this up much longer. They are likely holding their breath, hoping Biden makes it to the DNC Klan Bake to grab another nomination. I’m sure it’s a huge concern. But he’s done; we’ve been calling it for months, and some analyst at JP Morgan came out last week and said the same thing.

In the financial service company’s lengthy “Eye on the Market: Outlook 2024” report, Michael Cembalest, chairman of market and investment strategy for J.P. Morgan Asset & Wealth Management, listed 10 “surprises” for the year.

One of them is that Biden will withdraw from the presidential race for “health reasons sometime between Super Tuesday and the November election.”

Super Tuesday — when 16 states hold their primaries — is March 5 this year, while the general election is eight months later on Nov. 5.

Cembalest suggested the party’s nomination would be passed to a “replacement candidate named by the Democratic National Committee.”

It’s not a difficult prognostication to make. The DNC has been picking its candidates for years. Democrats aren’t excited about Biden. The decline is more evident than ever. He’s incapable of doing any job, let alone pretending to be America’s chief executive. Lucky for him, he just has to show up and read his lines, but this trained chimp has aged out, and they need a new monkey.

Pete Buttigieg isn’t that chimp, nor is Amy Klobuchar or Liz Warren. Most of the 2020 primary field that was not Biden isn’t on anyone’s radar, which is hilarious. That may not stop them from lobbying for the gig or winning the blue ring.

I’d love to see some Vegas odds on Biden’s replacement – everything else about the election does. I couldn’t find any, but the list of possible replacements centers on Democrat Governors like Newsom, Whitmer, Pritzker, Cooper, and Murphy.

Kamala is a no-go; she’s less popular than Biden. And no mention of Michelle Obama, though her name keeps popping up in the dreams of Machine Media stenographers.

I am sticking to my guns on that. Michelle Hates DC. She loves the attention, fame, money, and vacations but not the environment or the work. She has no reason to give up four years of a millionaire’s life for that, and I think it’s because she lacks the convictions that drive someone like Trump. He’s willing to give up a comfortable retirement to help working-class Americans. Michelle will pander to them for an inflated speaking fee.

So, it is anyone’s guess, and I’ll keep looking for the Vegas odds – those folks are good at this sort of thing, but between the convention and November, it has become accepted wisdom that Biden will not be on the Presidential Ticket, which means Harris likely won’t either – ditching Biden is the best way to ditch her and they want to lose her more than him.

Give us your guess as to who will replace them in the chat or why if you disagree.

King Arthur Baking Company Could Do So Much More

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 21:00 +0000

King Arthur Baking Company launched a new accelerator program to champion bakers and entrepreneurs of color, which made some news. Why not do one for short chefs? They could do one for female chefs, they could do one for young chefs, and they could do one for chefs from low-income areas.

As a private company, King Arthur’s Flour can do as they please … except doing one for white chefs and saying that. Again, as a free country, I believe a company can sell cakes to whomever they want and offer classes to whomever they want. I am not sure if I would boycott or not. Moot point since I use generic label flour.

I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and always wanted to be a Hippie. My internal struggle is real.

My response to reparations of any kind is “Show me one person who was a slave in this country, then I will pay.”

Related: King Arthur Flour Promotes Bakers of Color (No Whites), and I’m Having a Hard Time Getting Bent About That

I have done well in life, as far as I am concerned, and try on occasion to help the less fortunate. Just don’t force me to pay for stuff that I do not believe is deserved. If a charity or program is worth investing in to help people, I believe people will invest in it.

Racism is Racism, the are no distinctions. But I still have a little of that hippie singing Kum ba yah in me.

I say let capitalism and the free market rule. If enough people stop using King Arthur’s, that will tell the tale. It’s the same as Bud Light, Netflix, Disney, and the rest of them. When a baker does not want to put something on a cake that is offensive to them, I stand with them, and if I need a baked good, I would go there. But there was also a business in Maine owned by an LGBT couple, and some neighbors were giving them grief. From what I have read, I would go to their business in a heartbeat to support them.

Why Shouldn’t You Trust the Government?

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 19:00 +0000

Most of you know any number of reasons, dozens, scores, innumerable, perhaps for distrusting the government, and it grows almost daily. You know enough, and we don’t want to turn off first-time readers – or relatively new lurkers – with the fire hose. No, this ‘Why’ is one why, but it’s a big one with lots of tentacles.

The US Department of Injustice has admitted something that most of us knew to be true thirty-six months ago. But it took them over three years to get here from there, at least publicly, and only after being dragged kicking and screaming. It’s just one colossal example of why you can’t trust the government, especially when a Democrat election or re-election is on the line. They lie, deflect, scheme, accuse, smear, and, since this is relevant, interfere in elections.

The Hunter Biden Laptop. There’s no better resource on everything Bidne Laptop than Marco Polo, and if you’ve never been, you must! They show you what’s on the Laptop that would have ended Biden’s handlers’ presidential aspirations (Biden aspires to ice cream, violating personal space, and naps). I’d have included sexual assault, but he may no longer have the capacity for such things beyond creeping sniffing.

We’ve shared some of the Laptop’s intrigues, and if you are interested, Marco Polo also has Ashley Biden’s diary (scanned and transposed, you pick), complete with the creepy shower entry. All old news, denied by most, if not everyone on the left, and ignored by the so-called journalist classes with their heads up their asses when they weren’t carrying deep state swamp water. It was all true. The Laptop is legit. And 39 months later, the DOJ has admitted it to crickets and cobwebs from the same. The Media

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has acknowledged the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop data for the first time in a new court filing.

In a Tuesday court filing from DOJ prosecutors, which came in response to Biden’s request to have his federal firearm charges dismissed, investigators acknowledge the legitimacy of data found on Biden’s laptop prior to the 2020 election. The court filings described how IRS and FBI investigators had obtained a search warrant for tax violations on Biden, leading them to “various” backup data accounts.

The documents additionally note that investigators later came into “possession” of the laptop that Biden had previously “left at a computer store,” emphasizing that investigators had “already obtained” a large portion of the data from Apple.

Machine Media fact-checkers will have some scrubbing to do—deep cleaning, therapy, and a bit of self-realization (have you tried goat yoga?). The IRS and the FBI had already executed a warrant with Apple to access all of Hunter’s Laptop’s backup data in the cloud a year before the “laptop” was exposed and promptly identified by other government actors as Russian Disinformation.

Related: Reminder: The Hunter Biden Laptop Cover-Up Was a Classic American Disinformation Campaign

Put another way, many of the people who hated Biden but hated Trump more knew the Laptop and its contents were legitimate long before it became public. Information that must have been shared with “the Left” sort of people. Deep State partisan interests would have been briefed, and contingencies prepared in the event of the Laptop’s secrets making a public appearance.

And so they did, Laptop and all. And the FBI buried it where it stayed until the repair shop owner – and his handy backup – took it to the New York Post.

Then they lied, but that’s not all they did. They lied, interfered in an election, and then conspired with Big Tech to censor anyone who tried to share or debate this actual truth. You can still find the lies with a simple search – Hunter Biden Laptop. There are too many to scrub, but I’m sure they’ll give it to the old Journalism school try.

Rachel Madcow, by the way, continues to pontificate about Republicans leaning toward fascism. Trump wins Iowa, Evangelical white Christians, what else could it be, but dare I ask, what is this, Rachel?

We have a coordinated propaganda campaign to hide the truth. Just like the Steele Dossier, dozens of fake scandals, nearly everything you told us about COVID was a lie, and all the things you claimed were lies – were true! All in deference to an increasingly meddling, oppressive, and censorious State – under Hunter’s Dad. The guy who “won” partly because of a coordinated disinformation campaign of which you, Ms. Madcow, were a part.

People on the right want to be left alone. People on the left can’t do that and want everyone else to leave whatever truth they present alone, but they lie constantly. Their rank and file repeat the lies, and everyone suffers except the ruling class.

And that is one of many reasons we can’t trust the government or the media. And Rachel, some of your media buddies are saying Biden “won” in mostly white, Christian, Iowa.

Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 17:00 +0000

To all those who are sending in memes, thank you!  Keep them coming please, as it helps me gather weaponry to fight the Left.  Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!

TGIF!

Speaking of, from this week, Monday Edition and Wednesday Edition.  Also check out my latest Israel-focused meme & commentary post if this is a subject of interest to you.

 

*** Warning, a few possibly off-color ones, in case tender eyes are about… definitely some salty language ***

 

 

>>>>>=====<<<<<

 

 

Question: Is this a positive ID?  I assume so because – in my non-legal opinion – this would be actionable defamation if not.

 

 

 

 

Profound.  Seen here.

 

 

Mass arrests.  Sounds an awful lot like the USSR under Stalin, no?

 

 

In this case it’s Israel.  But regardless of the topic, and regardless of the “mainstream media” outlet, they always seem to err in one direction only.  They understand, very well, that most people are lazy, will not attempt to check multiple news sources, and will not “do their own research” on anything.

 

 

 

 

 

“Give us the House” the GOP said.  So we did.  And nothing happened.  “Give us the Senate too” the GOP said.  So we did.  And nothing happened.  “Give us the White House too” the GOP said.  So we did.  And something did happen… they fought Trump and MAGA and rolling back the Left tooth and nail.

If, by some miracle, there IS an election and Trump DOES win, I expect the GOP to fold completely and just become an auxiliary “me too” to the Dems.

 

 

 

 

 

That plus billions of rounds of ammo.

 

 

 

 

Don’t forget the current head of the CDC… whom I’ve entitled MENGELE MANDY.

 

 

 

 

No, that comes later, like around August or September…

 

 

 

 

Enemedia in meltdown mode.  Related:

CNN and MSNBC Censor Trump’s Victory Speech in Iowa – PJ Media

How dare Trump speak to the people unfiltered by us!

 

 

 

 

Poland was a staunch resister of mass migration.  IMHO there’s no way he won legitimately.

 

>>>>>=====<<<<<

 

PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA

 

A vote for Nikki is, IMHO, a vote for more of The Potato.  Just with a female skin, and a couple of meaningless bones thrown to the Right.

 

 

 

 

 

I repeat my prediction.  If, by some anti-miracle, the GOP Elites + the Left (political and enemedia) somehow manage to drag her across the nomination finish line, I predict:

  1. There will be much celebration in the enemedia about how – having nominated a recent-descendant woman of color – the GOP has “matured and moved into the 21st century”.  Yada yada.
  2. The GOP Elites will say that we need to put aside our partisan differences and unite behind this historic candidate (not like they’d do that if it were Trump, but…)
  3. Within 48 hours after that the lawsuits will start – from the Left – attempting to disqualify her for precisely this reason.

 

 

 

BACKSTABBER Nikki Haley won’t tell you who is behind some of her biggest donations (barenakedislam.com)

MHO, which I’ve said before… the enemedia will ally with the Left (even more than normal) and the GOP Establishment/NeverTrumpers to try and drag her across the nomination line.  There will be enormous exulting for about 48 hours about how the Republicans have “grown and matured and modernized”.  And then the lawsuits over her not being a natural born citizen will start.  Assuming those succeed, the Right will be thrown into chaos with, likely, some other RINO figurehead – who will be anathema to actual Conservatives – put up as a fill-in.

 

 

 

>>>>>=====<<<<<

Yes and no.  It’s an open secret that Iran wants the bomb.  The question is not whether they want it, it’s what they’ll do with them when they get them.  Yes, Israel is a high-probability target… but the Iranians have openly discussed taking America down with an EMP, having practiced launching rockets from ships in the Caspian Sea and declaring the test a success when the rocket gets to 90-100 miles up – perfect EMP altitude.  And in general, you must remember – as I keep repeating – that in Shiite Islam their messiah can’t come until there’s a global war.  WWIII, to a believing Shiite, is not a bug but a feature.  (And now, possibly, things are heating up with Pakistan…)

This would empower Uncle Sam to capture and control patents that fully or partially were funded with federal research grants, if Washington bureaucrats disliked the market prices or rollout speeds of their ensuing technologies.

The ever-meddlesome Biden now wants new powers to reassign or simply nationalize patent licenses if his pests decide that these items are not marketed quickly or cheaply enough.

What this would do is both get people to drop federal grant applications (maybe not a bad thing) but also to possibly stop innovating and creating.

Our FITN Matters: From Reagan to Haley

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 15:00 +0000

It seemed Ronald Reagan’s political career was over in early 1980. Despite Gerald Ford having wrested the 1976 GOP nomination from him, Reagan gave the presidency one last try in 1980 at age 69—which Democrats said was too old. (Irony alert.)

Then George H.W. Bush trounced Reagan in the Iowa Caucuses. Reagan’s political obituary was published across the land.

Then came the First-in-the-Nation New Hampshire Primary.

A memorable Nashua debate made history. Reagan won N.H. in a landslide. Everything changed. Reagan would win two landslide presidential elections while turning our economy around and winning the Cold War. No wonder Reagan said, “God Bless New Hampshire.”

It seemed George H.W. Bush was politically dead in 1988 after also being trounced in the Iowa Caucus, finishing third behind Bob Dole and Pat Roberston. Bush came to N.H. and plaintively pleaded with Granite Staters for help.

“If you come through for me, then when I get to Washington, you’ll hear me say ‘Thank You New Hampshire’ forever.”

With Governor John Sununu’s crucial assistance, Bush won New Hampshire and then the presidency and kept his promise to forever thank New Hampshire.

It seemed Bill Clinton was politically dead in 1992 when the first of his major sex scandals broke, after he’d received 3% of the Iowa Caucus vote. Clinton came to New Hampshire to plead for help, like Reagan and Bush before him, telling a crowd in Dover that if Granite Staters gave him a chance, “I’ll be there for you until the last dog dies.”

Clinton’s strong FITN finish allowed him to proclaim himself “The Comeback Kid” and he went on to easily win two presidential elections.

And so it goes. New Hampshire shapes presidential races like no other state.

Which brings us to 2024. A clear majority of horrified Americans dread the prospect of a Biden-Trump rematch. Can’t we do better? But it seems like we’re locked into that terrible scenario.

Unless New Hampshire voters step up as they have in the past to point things in a better direction.

For Republicans that means voting for Nikki Haley. I completely agree with Haley supporter Chris Sununu that “We have a country to save.”

I followed FITN developments intently for many months before finally becoming the first State Representative to endorse Haley at the end of October. I won’t repeat the powerful case for her here. Fair and thoughtful voters have until Jan. 23rd to conduct their due diligence and hopefully figure it out.

My endorsement resulted in threats, but that’s okay. I’ve been in harm’s way before, from the Persian Gulf to Afghanistan.  Trumpers tell me I’m “being watched” and that I’ll “pay a price.” I feel like Dr. Zhivago in that classic movie when a communist Russian commissar informed him that “Your attitude is noticed. Oh yes, it’s been noticed!”

Welcome to Trump-World, 2024. Why so many Granite Staters pledge allegiance to this reprobate will always be a mystery to me.  History will eventually judge, and historians can be unsparing critics. Why do Trump’s supporters want to follow him over a cliff and drag the country over the cliff as well? Who is Donald Trump? He’s draft dodger who reviled the memory of true heroes like John McCain, as well as wounded veterans that he didn’t want in his parades because they were a “bad look.”  He’s a swindler who’s already been found guilty in a $370 million civil lawsuit for numerous acts of fraud and misrepresentation. He’s a faux dealmaker who’s filed for bankruptcy at least four times. He’s currently dealing with 91 felony criminal indictments in four jurisdictions. He’s someone who demands loyalty but doesn’t give it, whether to his loyal vice-president, to supporters who endorse him, or to his three wives, the latest of which was notably absent from the family Christmas photo. He’s a liar whom a Washington Post fact-checker charged with 30,573 specific false or misleading claims over his benighted presidency. He’s a misogynist who bragged about grabbing women by the p****. He’s an inciter who sat by and watched on television while thousands of supporters, brandishing Trump and Confederate flags, wreaked death and destruction on our beloved United States Capitol. And yet thousands of Granite Staters uncritically support this failing 77-year-old, pathetically waiting for hours to cheer him on at an Atkinson Country Club on Tuesday. They had to wait extra-long because he was delayed en route to New Hampshire from Iowa because he had to stop at a New York City courthouse for a defamation trial appearance involving a woman that a different jury earlier found him guilty of sexually assaulting. But his supporters love and emulate his never-apologize, in-your-face antics. It’s heartbreaking to witness. Will we ever again have a president who is an inspiring role model who appeals to our better angels instead of a divisive demagogue who incites our lesser angels? That could happen if on January 23 if New Hampshire’s GOP Primary voters correct the misbegotten choice that Iowa GOP voters made on January 15. It’s happened before.

On the Dem side, another classic movie comes to mind—the film featuring college fraternity pledges being paddled.

Okay, it was Animal House.

The pledges’ rite of passage required them to bend over to be swatted by fraternity leaders, whom we can liken to the Democrat “establishment.” I keep picturing Joe Biden wielding a paddle on bent-over N.H. Dems who respond as the movie pledges did when spanked: “Thank you, Sir. May I have another one, Sir?”

It’s pathetic to see N.H. establishment Dems trying to get voters to write in Biden’s name on a ballot he disdained. The better that Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips does on the Dem side, the better it is for the future of our FITN primary.

We’ll soon see if New Hampshire can save the country from a Biden-Trump redux. Not only does the future of our FITN require us to step up and redirect things, but more importantly, the future of our country demands it. History shows that informed New Hampshire voters can step up to change our world. It’s happened before.

Just ask Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush, or Bill Clinton.

Ten Years Ago, Vermont Said Is Was Going to Do Something About Overdose Deaths and it Did – They’ve Quadrupled

Granite Grok - Fri, 2024-01-19 13:00 +0000

A decade past, then-Governor Peter Shumlin, overwhelmed by the Obama open-borders-driven opioid crisis, promised to implement a plan to address this rising scourge. No, he didn’t demand Obama close the border and stop the drugs pouring in. He did what Democrats always do.

He used it as an excuse to grow the government and rob taxpayers. [From an NPR interview dated Jan 9th]

ELDER-CONNORS: Shumlin, a Democrat, pitched lawmakers on a multipoint plan largely focused on expanding the state’s recovery centers and increasing access to addiction treatment. Ten years later, Vermont has largely implemented Shumlin’s plan and, by some measures, made progress. South Burlington resident Jess Kirby, who first took opiates as a teenager, says she got on a list for methadone in 2006 and waited for two years.

JESS KIRBY: You had to call every month and make your case, basically, on a voicemail that, hey, I’m still here. I’m calling. I still need treatment – please keep me on the list type of thing. And if you didn’t call, then you would get put back to the bottom of the list.

ELDER-CONNORS: The state has since expanded its treatment system and largely eliminated waiting lists. There are nearly 12,000 Vermonters currently in treatment, about double the number in 2014. But Kirby and other recovery workers say progress in Vermont and the rest of the country has stalled, largely due to more powerful drugs, pandemic isolation and a rise in homelessness. Former Governor Peter Shumlin, in an interview last week, said he doesn’t think public policy in Vermont has kept up.

NPR shares some personal stories that, while relevant, do not address the actual problem, and the facts that NPR shares make that clear.

– A decade after Vermont announced an effort to address the state’s opioid epidemic, fatal overdoses have quadrupled, and the crisis is more visible because more people are living on the streets. Liam Elder-Connors with Vermont Public has this report.

-The number of fatal overdoses in Vermont has skyrocketed, driven by the rise of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that’s essentially replaced heroin. The dramatic spike in overdoses led Burlington, Vermont’s largest city, to launch a new team of paramedics who exclusively respond to overdoses.

Vermont is an open-border sanctuary refuge for illegals, cartels, and drugs, and according to at least one commenter on VermontGrok, everyone knows where the drugs are. Vermont did school closings, lockdowns, and quarantines. Their defund-the-police banter resulted in fewer law enforcement officers and a culture where cops were targets, not partners in crime prevention.

The state’s Democrat majority has focused on creating mental health issues, encouraging economic decline and homelessness, and supporting a policy that allows more drugs into the country and the state while hamstringing law enforcement.

The cure isn’t more clinics, therpaists, helplines, or Narcan vending machines. None of those things will prevent drugs from getting to people who are downtrodden as a result of wrongheaded political priorities. And while we applaud the successes of those who have benefitted from the programs, the net result of all that time and money is a quadrupling of overdose deaths.

Gov. Peter Shumlin’s decade-old state of the state did get one thing right. “Frankly, what we’ve done, in my view – and the tragedy is – we’ve accepted this as sort of part of life as opposed to attacking it with everything that we have. And I think we’ve got to get back to focusing on – this is not acceptable.” The irony is that Schumlin’s exhortation is correct, but you won’t solve it unless the focus shifts to a Vermont run by someone other than Democrats. And not just the next election but every election.

The root cause of this decline is Democrat policy and Democrat rule, and you need only look at places Democrats have controlled for Decades to see where your state is going.

Today might look dreadful, but ten years from now, this will look like the good old days.

Granite State Considers Adopting Gold and Silver As Legal Tender

The Liberty Block - Fri, 2024-01-19 07:57 +0000

As such, many people have been inclined to get rid of our dollars and hold our savings in more stable forms of money, such as gold and silver. Many people who are concerned for their families’ financial wellbeing would love to see this bill passed into law. Astute people hold a large portion of the wealth in the form of gold and silver. Especially in New Hampshire, an ever-increasing number of establishments are accepting gold and silver as payment. But we do need to pay taxes to the state and local governments. Currently, the government only accepts dollars.

Secession Airplane Banner Flying Over Merrimack Valley Saturday

Foundation for N.H. Independence - Thu, 2023-05-25 02:34 +0000

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.

New Hampshire Survey Shows Disdain For DC, Support For Independence

Foundation for N.H. Independence - Fri, 2022-07-22 02:33 +0000

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.

Top 100 Reasons New Hampshire Should Be Independent

Foundation for N.H. Independence - Sat, 2021-11-13 01:28 +0000

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.
