MONDAY MEMES

Mon, 2024-04-15 16:00 +0000

Just this:

 

 

(This works because I’m finalizing this post on Sunday.)

 

Take heart – there will be both a Wednesday and Friday Edition.  Last week’s Friday Edition.

Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:

  1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought
  2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
  3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

This is one reason I have truly started to hate the ADL.  The sentiment by that professor is not just not a Jewish one – no Shul I’ve ever been in has ever discussed, let alone promoted such that I’ve ever heard – but many on the Left DO hold this idea of eliminating whites.  The problem is that the ADL races to defend Jews even when they have said / done the indefensible.

I do understand the desire to “circle the wagons”.  Every group does this to some degree.  But, like comedian Evan Sayet observed, Plopping Jews have their real faith being liberalism.  The ADL also promotes mass migration and sexual deviancy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d pay good money to see that happen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Howard Zinn is a commie.  He’s poisoned all sorts of minds over the years.  Here’s a counter to that:

I may have told this anecdote before… when my mother was alive I’d visit for a couple of days here and here, and one day we were both listening to some absolute-drivel NPR show.  30 minutes of – as she’d put it – drek.  At the end of it she asked me how they could put such on the radio, and I replied that they didn’t make it for people like us.  They made it for their fellows in the media, and all their uber-liberal friends, and for the applause at the cocktail parties of how brave and edgy they were.

 

 

 

 

 

They were NOT “noble savages”, that’s for sure.

I’ll be the first person to admit that my “green thumb” is, well, only kind of green.  It doesn’t help that my soil is a few inches over gravel fill, and crap soil to boot.  Still, I’m gearing up for planting at least something – just cleared out my one 4 X 8 raised bed and hoping next weekend is “stable” enough I can start planting.  Mostly herbs and a bunch of garlic.  Did I mention I love garlic before?

Now, can I feed my family off that?  Not even close.  But… it’s a start, and it’s hopefully implanting an attitude into my kids as well.  Already set potatoes in sunlight to get them sprouting.  The plan is 8 five-gallon buckets for potatoes.  Plus 3-4 things of cherry tomatoes (always better luck than with regular sized ones).  And some beans.

Soon the local farmers markets will start up.  Patronize them.  Buy local whenever you can – not necessarily for cost, because my experience is that it’s not necessarily a savings to do so.  Buy like your food supply depends on that, because it does.  In a few weeks I’ll be compiling and posting a listing of NH farmers markets.  Please help me by commenting below on such markets in your area.  Not just for vegetables, but also local meats.

I do regularly go to the Nashua farmer’s market and need to keep an eye out for when they open for the season.  One year I stumbled on one in Merrimack but it seems spotty at best (didn’t see it the last couple of years).  Any other ones I should know of?  Again, I’ll compile a list.

*** I am looking for some classes to make sausage and cure it for no-refrigeration storage, as well as someone who knows how to set up a pressure canner as I’m stumped. Classes in that, home canning, would be ideal.  ***

One last thing on this, at least for now: make sure you tell those farmers that you’re doing this knowingly and deliberately.  They need to not just see your money coming in, but your words of support.

Why?  To avoid upsetting their new voting demographic.

 

 

 

People who fail to connect consequences to their actions – in this case, their advocacy – are among the most dangerous in the world.

 

 

As with food in bugs… WHY would someone turn this down?  And if they did do it with malice aforethought, they had to have been “in” on things to at least some degree.  Which speaks, IMHO, to the visceral hate they have for Trump and MAGA that they’re willing to put people at risk like this.  Then again… see just below on what Commies are willing to do to advance Communism.

The DOJ, FBI, and the ATF have been busy rewriting the “rules” regarding “engaged in the business” of firearms sales.  As a result, they are about to launch a massive effort to throttle our 2nd Amendment rights.  This is a fairly long read but goes into good detail about how they have weasel-worded the rules so they can target pretty much ANYONE they want to, and then point to the rules that make it legal.  Note that this was NOT voted on by Congress, it’s just an arbitrary change by unelected bureaucrats.:

Once the “bennies” currently going to all the illegal aliens (invaders, really) gets cut off, millions will be rioting, looting, and stealing within days.  And if armed citizens fight them off, well, we’ll just declare martial law and take the guns.  It’s just another way to undermine America:

Daniel Richard v. Christopher Sununu, et al: Pro SE Plaintiff’s “Objection” To Reopen the Case…

Mon, 2024-04-15 14:00 +0000

Now comes the Appellant Daniel Richard pro se. hereby “objects’ to the reopening of the case in the above-named and numbered Supreme Court case, after the honorable court has closed arguments.

Plaintiff submits it would be fundamentally unfair and a deprivation of plaintiff’s fundamental due process rights for the court to take this unsolicited and extraordinary measure that will unfairly allow the defendants to have a second bite of the apple.

Plaintiff submits; the court was aware during the Supreme Court hearing of November 29, 2023, that his Appeal and ‘complaint’ contain allegations of a constitutional nature, where the plaintiff alleges a denial of constitutional voting rights; that said rights were cited within his complaint; that the plaintiff had an obvious personal stake in the case, and that the plaintiff alleged actual bias and harm caused as a result of said constitutional deprivation.

However well intended, this Court’s solicitation of a brief from the defendants and from friends of the court at this point in the appellate proceeding is extraordinary and appears to try to do by soliciting outside non-parties to what the state has twice declined to do, viz: raise standing in the state answer or in the state’s oral argument. The state’s reasons for not addressing this preliminary issue may be political or it may reflect personal liability of state actors, falling outside the umbrella of indemnity or immunity. Regardless, Appellant suggests it is improper for this unilateral expansion of briefing to outside parties by the highest court judges during appeal when it was not briefed by the state and therefore conceded at the trial court level appears unprecedented as to both activism and bias in the form of by discrimination.

Further, it appears to suggest state actors protecting other state actors by abuse of authority and highly questionable judicial activism to alter some element, presently known or unknown. Because elections are time sensitive, this further delay of a final state decision during an important Presidential election year, further operates to disadvantage Appellant alone. Meanwhile, the State Legislature and various top ranking state politicians have been actively working to “cement” illegal and unconstitutional voting machine voting and counting, and other unreliable election change-processes as “a done deal.’ Putting aside for the moment the millions of dollars of financial incentives involved in this “new” voting machine acquisition, and notwithstanding multiple irregularities already demonstrated in fraudulent computerized tabulating and counting indicating a lack of reliability in state machines, both past (2008) and those sitting in corporate warehouses waiting to be delivered around the state.

This delay and political actor and corporate activism is avoiding statutory reliance procedures. One of those, reliability testing, has a manmade loophole that with an “extension” (based on insider agreements between public officials and private corporations) means independent machine reliability testing can be postponed years beyond the 2024 election. This legislative political manipulation during the pendency of this case and appeal represents benefit to the tune of millions of dollars should this alternate machine-testing “agreement’ be successful.

Meanwhile, the top court is now initiating what appears to be an improper changing of Supreme Court rules for outside briefs on an issue the Plaintiffs briefed and argued below, but the State Defendants did not, even when raised by the lower court magistrate for them.

Placing in controversy Supreme Court Rule 16 with the following, this Courts order states that any replies to the Court’s solicitation must meet the requirements of Rule 16, such an order is contrary and repugnant to this Courts own rule 16 and Rule 30 which prohibits such a late solicitation and it is contrary to this Court’s own precedent on solicitation of Amicus Curiae during the preliminary stages of the Appeal. This Courts solicitation of an Amicus Brief at this time (post oral arguments) violates N.H. Supreme Court Rule 16(7):

thecourt shall not consider any brief or memorandum of law after a case has

been argued or submitted, unless the court has granted to the party offering to file

the brief or memorandum of law special leave to do so in advance.”

This has not been done. Pursuant to Rule 16, an amicus curiae brief may be filed only with leave of court by interested parties, but moreover, an amicus brief must be limited to issues raised on appeal by the parties.

Plaintiff strongly suggests, this Amicus Brief solicitation cannot now be used to bail out city and state governments, as it was not briefed by the defendants on appeal. The amicus brief cannot now be used to allow a third party to brief standing when the defendants failed to do so themselves, and the respected members of this Supreme court should not allow such an unfair supplemental action against a pro se defendant.

This Court’s call to open an argument of standing with an Amicus Brief solicitation is un-timely and un-fair and suggests improper bias when top judges untimely initiate sua sponte such an order. Amicus Briefs submission is permitted under N.H. Supreme Court Rule (16) and Rule 30(1). Such practice is use in Federal Courts and many other states, during a court’s initial consideration of a case on the merits and not thereafter. This un-timely solicitation of amicus brief by this Court at this time and manner deprives Appellant of his substantive and procedural due process rights, and or the ability to consent to, or to object to, or to reply to any amicus brief filed in the manner provided for by said Court rules of procedure.

There is no prior Appellee motion for special leave of the court filed in advance for permission to file an amicus brief after oral arguments, therefore, under Rule 16(7) no brief or memorandum of law is now admissible in this instant case pursuant to this Court’s own rules.

The Courts use of an order soliciting an Amicus Brief is rare, and in this case, it is extraordinary in its timing, contrary to past precedent of this Court, presents an appearance of state discrimination against a pro se, and violates the Appellant’s Due Process Rights.

The precedent on the use of Amicus Brief solicitation was limited, and it was last used in case # 2022-0114, S.D. v. N.B. on September 20, 2022, (response due Oct. 21. 2022) which was filed well in advance of the submission of that case for consideration before this Court on January 25, 2023 allowing the parties to object to, or consent to, any amicus brief. This precedent does not support this Court present use of an Amicus Brief Solicitation after the time allowed the rules of this Court in effect in this case. Only one side benefits from such a legal maneuver. It is not the Appellant.

At oral arguments the Defendants raised the issue of standing in their oral arguments and spent three and a half minutes arguing why they did not brief the issue of standing, un-convincingly. If the Defendants oral arguments on standing were convincing, and the Court wished to give the Defendant a second bite at the apple, the Court should have done so immediately following oral arguments, not 4 months later. This Court solicitation for an amicus curie brief from the public will now allow a 3rd party to brief standing when defendants failed to do so.

Chief Justice Gordon MacDonald stated in oral arguments that trial court deferred standing, and that the trial court assumed standing. The trial court established standing by rendering its 16-page opinion, otherwise if there was no standing the trial Judge should have dismissed the case for lack of standing, which he did not do. If an error at law, this error by trial court over standing is now being raised by this higher Court and not by the Defendants who chose not to brief standing on appeal.

Defendants state on pg. 1 of their motion to dismiss and pg. 2 item 6, 7, 59, 60, 61, 63, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 73, 75, 76, 77, Oct. 3, 2022, that the appellant for lack of Standing, “and move to dismiss the complaint in this matter on the grounds of standing” … The Defendants having briefed the issue of standing in lower court, by making the legal decision to not brief standing for a reason. There is some thinking that failure to give a reason and failure to argue standing relates to a political question of whether or not the state actors will lose or not be covered by state immunity for their action’s ultra vires. Under Superior Court rules failure to answer or deny is an issue, is admitted as true. That is not the absence of legal thinking, but the affirmative decision to avoid or ignore or waive the standing issue.

Therefore, the Appellant respectfully moves for the court to sustain Plaintiff’s objection against reopening the case to additional briefs for standing by the parties and that no out-side parties amicus curie brief be permitted into the record, and for the Court render its opinion on this case as briefed.

CERTIFICATION

I, Daniel Richard, do hereby swear that on April 14, 2024, I did deliver through the state court web site a copy of this to Christopher T. Sununu, et al.

Dated April 14, 2024

VERIFACTION

I, Daniel Richard, certify that the foregoing facts to be true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Comment6 pme as originally submitted.

This week’s “Contestants.”

The Post:  G.E.T. R.E.A.L! – E: Education Reform
The Commenter: Publius

The schools aren’t perfect and share a portion of blame for sure, spending all their spare money on additional useless admin that don’t discipline, don’t give classroom support, don’t do their job of iep compliance, just sit there and try and enforce DEI and useless PD rather than trying to attract the best and brightest teachers with attractive salaries.

But we can’t forget to blame what we know to be the largest driver of student success.

Parents

Parents aren’t reading to their kids anymore, they aren’t fostering a love of learning, a sense of discipline, and a sense of respect

The parents plop their kids down in front of a screen for hours at a time, the almighty tablet has become their one stop shop for entertainment on demand. They then get a smart phone with all the quick-dopamine hits that give them easy highs and terrible lows when comparing themselves to everyone else. This constant connection to everything enables round the clock bullying too, and not to mention how that affects their attention span in the classroom, where they are truly addicted to the screen.

It’s an old comic at this point demonstrating the generational gap where a kid gets bad grades and the older generation asks the child what they did wrong, where the modern generation asks the teacher what they did wrong.

The covid years showed us how many parents don’t even care about the school teaching their kids anything but so many just care about it being free daycare.

As a society we once greatly valued education, but that has slowly been chipped away to ensure a generation of obedient, mindless slaves.

 

The Post: Dartmouth Health Ignores the Evidence
The Commenter: Brian W

“Evidence-based medicine” is a good philosophy but has morphed into the phrase they use when they think they can dazzle us with BS. Notice how little the phrase was used to support all the COVID measures taken, and when discussing treatments especially the clot-shots.

But it is interesting to follow the NHS (UK) travails through the evidence. When they finally shook off the blinders of the ideologues, this is what they did:

In January 2020, a Policy Working Group (PWG) was established by NHS England to undertake a review of the published evidence on the use of puberty blockers and feminising/masculinising hormones in children and young people with gender dysphoria to inform a policy position on their future use. Given the increasingly evident polarisation among clinical professionals, Dr Cass was asked to chair the group as a senior clinician with no prior involvement or fixed views in this area.

The evidence reviews were published in March 2021. Unfortunately, the available evidence was not deemed strong enough to form the basis of a policy position.
https://cass.independent-re…

One observer noted about some testimony in front of a state legislature in the US: When we asked for evidence to support the position for “gender affirming care” for children, the practitioners pointed to WPATH, which is not evidence but a Standard of Care (SOC). Specifically, they point to a paragraph in the WPATH literature where they claim that the SOC is based on a “cross-disciplinary consensus of the leading researchers, doctors, psychologists, and advocates.” Where else have we heard that “consensus” was evidence? The argument became a circular reference never referencing actual evidence. (I should try to find that again – I’m sure I butchered it) WPATH isn’s a professional society – most of its members are activists, so it can’t really even be a “Standard of Care” in the medical sense.

WPATH had a leak of internal messages a couple of years ago. From an article in “The Guardian”:

In one video, doctors acknowledge that patients are sometimes too young to fully understand the consequences of puberty blockers and hormones for their fertility. “It’s always a good theory that you talk about fertility preservation with a 14-year-old, but I know I’m talking to a blank wall,” one Canadian endocrinologist says.

WPATH’s president, Dr Marci Bowers, comments on the impact of early blocking of puberty on sexual function in adulthood. “To date,” she writes, “I’m unaware of an individual claiming ability to orgasm when they were blocked at Tanner 2.” Tanner stage 2 is the beginning of puberty. It can be as young as nine in girls.
https://www.theguardian.com…

In all, this is an insidious attack on children and future generations. If they can sterilize 15-20% of today’s youth, that’s more unborn children than Planned Parenthood could even dream about. We must fight it.

 

The Post: Did State Reps Know What They Were Voting For?
The Commenter: Houmid

The New Hampshire House (and Senate to be frank) suffer from an epidemic of, “have to do something-ism”. It’s an unfortunate fact that most of those representatives were indoctrinated with leftism by our public education system, and hence, are largely unable to apply logic and reason to government, and the effects that legislation has on our social and financial environments (and not just secondary and tertiary effects, but far too often even primary ones.)

The truth is, the more bills passed, the more the state version of the federal register grows. The more it grows, the more it costs to implement and maintain. And the more liberty is chipped away, denying actual rights of self determination to the people of this state.

If our representatives in Concord really want to do something that is of great benefit to the people, I suggest all 400+ of them each pick a single piece of existing legislation or regulation, and either reduce it, or eliminate it completely.

 

The Post: So, When They “Cheat on You,” You’re Supposed to Say, Thank You
The Commenter: tenbuckulus

Sadly it isn’t true that “Democrats will always be worse” because it really depends on what your hot-button issues are. On the trans issue, we have progressive “Republicans” that think gender is a social construct and centrist “Democrats” that recognize we are a sexually dimorphic species.

 

The Post: Jason Osborne’s Self-Serving, Nonsensical Definition Of Tyranny
The Commenter: NewHampshire

Your government in Concord has created many unelected boards and commissions to promote this stuff. Some are basically taxpayer-funded lobbies!!! It’s corruption at the core.

Gov. Sununu’s Housing Appeals Board (appointees)

The Post: 62% of Americans are Wrong
The Commenter: Tombstone Gabby

I think it’s high time the government had a ‘little chat’ with various unions, plumbers, electricians, etc, about apprenticeships in their respective trades. Some new Trade Schools would also help. The concept that “You have to have a collage degree to succeed” is not true for every youngster.

When the elites have managed to exterminate the ‘least useful’ members of the world’s population, they might just have a real problem with a water leak at 10PM on a Sat10 pmy night.

 

The Post: Rights, or Permissions?
The Commenter: Mike Remski

I don’t disagree with you but my reading/rereading is “That’s not what Ian is asking”.
Don’t focus on the MJ, focus on the reasoning.

That is what I tried to do.

My reading is:
Ian is saying “this is the reasoning/logic they are using to veto X. What is stopping them from using that same reasoning to veto Y”.

That is all. Nothing to do with the merits of X or Y. Just “If you use this reason to disallow X that same reason can be used to disallow Y. Is that what you want?”

Please just one vote for each. The poll will remain open until 6 pm Tuesday 6 pming ET. Results will be announced on Wed. Morning. If you have multiple voters using the same IP address, you will have to wait 8 hours between votes. We can see multiple votes from the same IP.
