I’m going to call a spade a spade.  There will be no sugarcoating and no special treatment for any reps that I once liked and respected, so let’s get started. Consider me the National Transportation Safety Board examining the wreckage.
88 Republicans voted the wrong way on HB 1002, making them enemies of Nashua’s citizenry. And 51 Republicans voted to indefinitely postpone HB 1414, making them enemies of transparency for Gunstock Mountain Resort.

If you’re not up to speed on HB 1002, click here, and here, for HB 1414.

These two bills were in the House today, the first being the RTK Tax and the other being a full audit of Gunstock.  It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t expecting any shenanigans at the podium in an effort to defy the Judiciary Committee’s recommendation to refer HB 1002 to interim study.  An amendment was introduced, and the bill passed, much to my disgust, as about 20+ more Rs voted incorrectly than on February 1.

And I was appalled to see certain people on the list of rogue voters to banish HB 1414 to the same fate that as SB 272 (Indefinite Postponement) in the House last year.  You can visit NH dot gov, pull up the docket, and click on the pie charts to see who voted what way on any bills that have roll calls on the record, which I’ll leave you to do as you wish.

However, I compiled a cross-referenced list of “double offenders” as there are 31 of them and I’ll point out again that I’m giving special treatment to nobody.  The list is the list just like the truth is the truth. Don’t these reps want transparency?  It is, after all, an election year, so without further delay, here is the list.

And lastly, regarding the Corner Office, I leave you with two suggested questions for Chuck Morse, in addition to asking him about his 11/19/21 crime against NH.

They are what he would do if HB 1002 or HB 1414 made it to his desk.

Kelly Ayotte already answered my question, saying she wasn’t a fan of HB 1002 on February 8 while stumping at Sky Meadow, but she needs to be asked what she would do with HB 1414 (or the new number of the next attempt at it) upon its arrival at her desk.

The level of DENIAL on the Right in America is breathtaking and pathetic. It is undeniable that the 2020 election was RIGGED. Yet the bitter-clingers on the Right believe that somehow 2024 will be different … even as they watch the FakeNews (I’m writing this on March 20th) run with yet another BIG LIE, the “bloodbath” hoax.

I tell people that in 2016 the world changed because it became manifest that we have a permanent government that does not care about elections AND many (not all, but many) of our supposed “representatives” represent the permanent government and NOT the voters that elected them. The permanent government, aided and abetted by the UniParty, engaged in a soft-coup against Trump from the moment he won the 2016 election … the same people who are now telling us that Trump, NOT them but Trump, is a threat to democracy.

While the non-democratic nature of America’s democracy may have become apparent in 2016, democracy’s demise really began no later than 1963 when the permanent government assassinated JFK:

I hope we’re all prepared for what’s coming at us. Assuming we even HAVE an election, if Slo-Joe “wins”, we all KNOW it was rigged, and then we need to decide what to do with an illegitimate government.  But if President Trump manages (by some miracle) to win with enough margin to overcome the cheat, there will be riots, lawsuits, and all kinds of BS happening between the election and the swearing in ceremony on January 20th.  I expect the Dems in Congress will refuse to certify the vote (especially since the sitting VP presides over this), and who will call them out?  Or, the TLA may decide to use the “JFK” solution.  Some on the left are ALREADY calling for that!  Which only proves how much they fear Trump getting back into the White House.

In the latest judicial insanity, a Federal judge has ruled that illegal immigrants are allowed to carry a firearm.  Yes, you read that correctly.  So in many places we have “gun control” that thwarts American citizens and makes it very hard for them to get and/or carry a gun, but now it’s OK for illegals to carry.  This is definitely clown world stuff:

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/illegal-immigrant-can-carry-guns-federal-judge-5609497

In order to buy a firearm (legally), I first have to go to a firearms dealer who has a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and choose a gun from them.  Then fill out a Form 4473 stating that I’m not a criminal (and it’s a federal crime to lie on that form [unless you are Hunter Biden]), get a background check to verify that I’m not a criminal (or otherwise not legally allowed to own firearms), then the government “gives permission” for the FFL to sell me the gun.  But this illegal immigrant, who did NOT fill out any forms, or get a background check, and bought the gun illegally from “somewhere”, is being told “That’s OK”.  Why should we even have to bother filling out a Form 4473 ever again?  Once again, the illegals are being giving WAY more leeway than the citizens of the country.

Added: My last purchase, there was a new 4473 form with spaces for the details of the firearm being purchased.  Now remember: when a gun shop closes, all those forms get sent to DC.  So when the shop closes, now they not only know you purchased, but what you purchased.

Hunter Biden is trying to have a judge declare that his laptop is “off limits” so that no evidence found on the laptop can be used against him (or anyone else in the Biden family).  Also, he wants anyone who published it online to take the information down.  Of course, this would throw a major monkey wrench in several court cases and impeachment proceedings.  But luckily for the Biden family, the case got “steered” to a judge who donated to (and voted for) Slo-Joe, and was appointed to the bench BY “president” Biden just a few months ago.  What a coincidence!

The federal government collected $271 billion in February, but spent $567 billion. This means that America is spending twice as much as it earns, according to the US Treasury Department. The cost of servicing the US national debt has already exceeded $1 trillion on an annual basis, and the country issues $1 trillion worth of Treasury bonds every 100 days to keep the government running.

So, what happens if the Trump verdict in New York is overturned or if the fine is reduced to a more reasonable value? (Which — given that normal procedures were followed, and no one was harmed — would be around $10 at most.)

Is Letitia James going to use the power of the state to reverse the sales of all those buildings and business holdings that she seized or forced him to sell to pay his bond? Or can she just get away with saying, ‘Oops, my bad‘?

This is what it looks like for the process to become the punishment in itself:  The government, with virtually unlimited resources, can make bankruptcy the cost of defending yourself against charges that don’t have to have any basis in fact or law.

The point of an appeals process is that judges often don’t get it right. Decisions are overturned on appeal all the time. But more tellingly, we see split decisions, where a panel of judges looks at the same facts and law and comes to opposite conclusions.

This happens in about 2/3 of SCOTUS rulings. So right now, the odds are 2-1 that at least some Supreme Court justices would regard half a billion dollars as an ‘excessive fine’ for a conviction where there was no actual crime.  There’s a better-than-even chance that a majority would agree.

But even if Trump wins, he still loses if he has to liquidate a business empire to post a bond against a fine that should never have been handed down as the result of a conviction that should never have happened, which is itself the result of charges that should never have been filed.

The only winners are the ones who understand that these kinds of games are won simply by prolonging them.  They are wars of attrition.

And it’s not just individuals that can be punished.  It’s entire countries.

Isn’t this what’s going on at the border?  It may be years before the courts get around to declaring that states can enforce their own borders with foreign countries if the federal government declines to do that.  Will the federal politicians and bureaucrats who have allowed millions of people to cross the border in the meantime be able to get away with just saying, ‘Oops, our bad’?

Isn’t this what happens in asset forfeiture cases? Isn’t this what happens when the government decides to ‘search’ an innocent person’s car by tearing it apart because he’s got the wrong sticker on the bumper or seize all the records and electronic devices from a journalist who has been publishing the wrong kinds of things? Isn’t this what happens when a candidate is removed from a ballot because of an allegation for which he’s never been formally charged, let alone convicted?

This has become so common that it’s got a name:  lawfare.  It’s using the legal process itself as a form of punishment.

‘Sentence first–verdict afterwards!’ said the Red Queen in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.  As they’ve been saying lately about George Orwell’s 1984, it was supposed to be fiction, not an instruction manual.
