HB1500: The Dems Latest Act to Chill Free Speech and Expression … Is a New Kind of Stupid (With an Old Twist)

Fri, 2024-01-26 19:00 +0000

A group of New Hampshire Democrats have introduced a bill that is so blatantly unconstitutional that you’d think even they would know better. There is no chance of that. Oppressing speech feels right, especially if your bill allows you to accuse people of a crime without evidence of one.

They even added a special section prohibiting protected speech 90 days before an election (ala McCain Feingold).

HB1500 is an act relative to prohibiting the unlawful distribution of misleading synthetic media – where synthetic media is defined as “any form of media including text, image, video, or sound, fully or partially created or modified through the use of artificial intelligence algorithms.”

Without venturing down the “your side does this more than anyone rabbit hole,” what exactly were they thinking? You can’t require the consent of the object of your ridicule (for example), especially politicians, as we near an election. But that’s not the most dangerous feature of this smoldering crap wagon of words.

The proposed legislation fails to explain how the target or an advocate can tell if the text, image, video, or sound is (for lack of a better word) analog or AI. So, when looking at a bunch of text, a meme, or a parody video – all protected speech under the First Amendment – how does one discern if it was crafted by human hands or artificial intelligence?

Let me give you an example. Which one of these images was “fully or partially created or modified through the use of artificial intelligence algorithms.”

     

 

The answer is neither and, therefore, both because the bill has no mechanism for preventing snowflakes (or paid activists) from using the law HB1500 would create to engage in malicious acts of lawfare.

HB1500 is also an entrapment law. Anyone sharing a screengrab second-or-third-hand of something whose source document turns out to violate the law has no way of knowing in advance they might be breaking it, which again, demonstrates the idiocy of what it pretends to do – protect constituents these legislators consider too stupid to make decisions about online content for themselves.

That’s not the actual goal. HB1500 exists to suppress political speech with an emphasis on quelching dissent in the weeks leading up to an election when we need it most! But if we were to pretend otherwise, what right does NH have to tell citizens they need to acquire and use technology to ensure that any expression they engage in is not derived in violation of HB1500?

The correct, undiplomatic response to legislators ignoring any or all of these problems involves the phrase “you and the horse you rode in on.”

I don’t use AI, but as written, the easily offended could accuse me of violating this bill were it to become law without any evidence or concern for the need – which is an all-star attribute of laws under Democrat Socialism. Dragging innocent citizens into the so-called legal system on a lark, if you like, which – in my opinion – is the point. This bill suppresses the rights of innocent citizens while fattening the pockets of lawyers (not to mention cluttering up court schedules) for charges that cannot be corroborated and are – literally – protected by the First Amendment of the US Constitution and the NH Constitution.

[Art.] 22. [Free Speech; Liberty of the Press.] Free speech and Liberty of the press are essential to the security of Freedom in a State: They ought, therefore, to be inviolably preserved.

I missed the public hearing and had not heard about the bill until after the fact, but one thing is clear. Democrats, especially the bill’s sponsors, are at war with the Constitution and free expression, and this is just another flanking maneuver and a poorly written one, at that.

If you agree, please get in touch with the Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety with some politely worded thoughts.

The Last Democrat Pay Raise Bill Was Greedy. This One’s Also Corrupt.

Fri, 2024-01-26 15:00 +0000

Last year, Vermont Democrats and Progressives put forward a bill (S.39) to raise legislative pay by over double, plus a generous benefits package that regular Vermonters working a similar part-time job would not qualify for. Governor Scott vetoed the bill, which passed the House 102-44 and the Senate 19-10 largely along party lines.

Needless to say, it was highly unpopular with We the People, and majority leadership decided not to challenge this veto with an override vote.

But, alas, that was not the last to be heard from a particularly greedy cabal of entitled Senators led by Ruth Hardy (D-Addison), Becca White (D-Windsor), and Anne Watson (D/P-Washington), whose goal is to end Vermont’s tradition of a citizen legislature and replace it with an elite, political class of full-time politicians – a.k.a. themselves. (Seriously, just release the flying monkeys already.)  So, this year, they are trying again with a “more modest,” ostensibly lower-cost alternative, S.224 – An act relating to compensation and benefits for members of the Vermont General Assembly.

The principal “cost saving” measure in S.224 over S.39 is that it removes the nearly $2 million a year in healthcare benefits packages – for now anyway, as the bill retains the study committee that will recommend adding it back in a year.

According to the fiscal note, this new bill also lowers the overall annual expenditure on legislator salaries from S.39’s proposed $6,596,443 to $4,445,904. Great… BUT!!… this bill shifts the remaining money largely away from rank-and-file legislators and gives it to the “Speaker, Pro Tem, [Committee] Chairs, Majority, and Minority Leader” – all of whom coincidentally (with the exceptions of the two minority leaders and two committee chairs, one token in each chamber) are Democrats!

According to Seven Days Math, “The chairs currently earn about $16,867, only slightly more than rank-and-file members. Under the new system, the chairs would earn $23,790 during the session, plus a stipend and up to 20 days of off-season pay. That’s a total of $34,717, or about $17,850 more than they earn now — a 106 percent increase.” Rank and filers get a significant raise too from their current “$15,180. That would increase to $21,627. The 20 days of off-session pay would add $4,553 for a total of $26,180,” but not nearly as nice as the chairs.

This proposal, apart from just plain milking the taxpayers, creates some serious ethical and political problems. First, as alluded to above, the partisan dynamics of the legislature mean this is an especially big windfall for members of one particular party. It’s a partisan, Democrat money grab.

Currently, there are 23 Democrats out of 30 total senators, and there are 14 committees that need a chair. In the House there are 106 Democrats out of one hundred fifty total, and 17 committees that need chairs. So, of the 33 lawmakers, including the speaker and senate president pro tem, who would be receiving markedly higher salaries, 28 of them would be Democrats. That’s assuming that with nearly ten grand at stake for one of their own Democrat leadership would allow Senator Russ Ingalls (R-Essex) to keep his chair of the Institutions Committee or Representative Mike Marcotte (R-Coventry) his of Commerce and Economic Development.

This gets me to my next point: This would create a seriously unhealthy, feudal-like intra-caucus hierarchy and patronage system. The party in power controls all the big salaries and the leadership in that party controls who gets them. So, if you want that chairmanship and the big bucks that come with it, you better be loyal to the Speaker of the House or the Senate President Pro Tem as you smarm your way up that ladder. As a citizen, if you are concerned that our so-called elected representatives are too often doing the bidding of party leadership and not that of their constituents as it is, Katy, bar the door if S.224 becomes law!

It’s one thing to rhetorically twist someone’s arm to convince them to vote a certain way, refuse to sit with them in the cafeteria, or even threaten to take away the metaphorical paper hat that comes with a committee chairmanship, but it’s quite another to be able to threaten that person with a loss of $10,000 worth of income if they don’t play ball and do what you say. Or to bribe with such a cash payout for going along. As such, S.224 opens the door for some really corrupt back-room politics that do not serve the interests of truly representative democracy.

Supporters of this specifically bad bill supporting a generally bad idea are spinning it as a way to allow more moderate-income Vermonters to run for office. Nonsense. They see it as a way to give their incumbent selves the ability to campaign year-round at taxpayers’ expense, a way to consolidate and keep political power, and to further insulate themselves from having to have a real job and, though such experience perhaps better understand the real plights and problems of their constituents.

Campaign for Vermont did a poll at the beginning of this session and found that 77% of Vermont said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who voted to increase their own pay by 100%, 66% much less likely. Well, that’s pretty much every Democrat and Progressive in Montpelier! And it looks like they’re ready to do it twice! Let’s make sure voters remember this sentiment come November.

Vermin Supreme Interview – Radio Row, Manchester – FITN Primary

Fri, 2024-01-26 13:00 +0000

If you set up a table with a few microphones almost anywhere, you never know who might sit down to talk with you. Do it at the DoubleTree in Manchester during the New Hampshire primary, and you might get to talk with Vermin Supreme.

And why not? He’s always a guaranteed great guest, so we were fortunate to catch him for a few minutes to talk about the circus of politics. WGBH described him as,

“…running on a platform that includes free ponies for all Americans, time travel research and using zombies to create energy by harnessing “the latest in hamster wheel technology.”

He also runs on a promise of mandatory toothbrushing laws, “because gingivitis has been eroding the country’s gum line for long enough and must be stopped.”

He took a few minutes to sit down and chat, and for folks who like short videos, this is perhaps our shortest interview of the weekend. Ha had a lot of people to meet, and making fun of politics is hard work but good work.

Watch this video and Rumble, and if you do – please follow us.

Latest Climate Conundrum: Bad Beavers or Good?

Fri, 2024-01-26 11:00 +0000

Climate “science” has long claimed that the hard-working beaver plays an essential role in sequestering carbon by corralling sediments in dams. A recent scientific study asserts that beavers colonizing the Arctic tundra are doing the exact opposite, releasing methane when their warming ponds thaw vast areas of permafrost.

It is hard to decide whether beavers are enemies or allies in the climate mission to save the world — a common theme in the cloudy waters of pseudo-scientific climate claims.

Good Beaver, Bad Beaver

The latest beaver climate-impact narrative alarmingly suggests beavers have been colonizing the northern territory at a frantic pace, creating new bodies of relatively warm water with their damming projects that thaw the underlying ground and release methane, a marsh gas now designated as a planet-slayer. Scientists have been able to confirm this phenomenon with satellite imagery of methane hotspots that extend for many meters around the ponds.

This beaver effect contrasts with earlier assessments of southern denizens who allegedly sequester carbon using these exact same ponds. It appears that the identical activity in two disparate regions yields diametrically different climate impacts. This is no meaningless inquiry – governments and venture capitalists invest billions of dollars in schemes driven by such “science” with often unanticipated climate, social, and economic impacts. Interestingly, the beaver problem in Canada is attributed to anthropomorphic causes – warming temperatures and reduced trapping.

Beavers, Cows, and Humans

Climate warriors are finding it hard to hit a target they keep shifting. The case of beavers invites other contrasts. Consider that not all humans or cows pollute the same, much like beavers. The Amish and Inuit do not pollute anywhere near as much as the typical urban American teenager. The Amish likely sequester more carbon in the soil from farming throughout their lifetimes than they ever create from consumption; the Inuit do not farm but at least they don’t consume cell phones and flatscreen TVs. And the carbon footprint of societies such as that of the United States may improve with the purchase of solar panels and EVs, but only while that of China spikes upward by manufacturing those very consumables.

Just like the lowly beaver, there seem to be good climate humans in some areas and bad actors in others. This is also evident with cows, standing in the dock with beaver climate offenders. Cows in concentrated animal feed operations (CAFOs) generate much more pollution due to their incarcerated dependence on human fossil fuels than cows freely roaming in pastures (which nurture soils and reduce erosion). Such domesticated bovine are more like bison, who once roamed the American Plains, building the soils that feed the nation even now.

Bison vs Cows

Indeed, the same cadre of climate investigators ogling beavers have identified bison as climate saviors. The Sierra Club claims cows are bad, and grazing them on public lands is bad, but bison are beneficial:

“This all may seem contrary to what you may have known about grazing animals impacting the climate. Typically we hear about their methane emissions, which is a greenhouse gas that causes considerable climate impacts … If bison were restored to this landscape it could heighten the ability of the soil to hold even more carbon dioxide, acting as a natural carbon storage facility (Wright, 2018). It is important to note, however, that holistic grazing methods with bison are still being researched by scientists and there is some disagreement on its’ [sic] ability to act as a potential climate solution (Irfan, 2018; Wright, 2017). Nevertheless, it is interesting to think that restoring bison to the landscape could have the potential effect of helping solve the climate crisis.”

It is interesting to think about how this bison analysis might be applied to cows and beavers and how important it is to complete such research before closing farms and culling herds. Of course, cows replenish soils and provide vital natural fertilizers in lieu of synthetic chemical substitutes. America has about 94.4 million cows, 70% of them confined in CAFOs where they are fed tens of millions of acres’ worth of machine-harvested feed. Less than 1% of the nation’s 360,000 bison are wild. The “climate crisis” will sooner be solved by fusion engines in every car and home before enough bison can be procured to counter planetary warming (unless they are cloned in a factory, like synthetic meat). But the nation’s cows are ready to serve!

Conflicting Climate Prophecies

Grand globalist policies are launched on the whispers of so-called climate scientists who seem to lack the common sense of a ruminant. It is to be expected that beavers will vary in impact – aren’t the bad beavers in the north also sequestering carbon dioxide in their methane-releasing ponds? How can scientists condemn cows and praise bison in the same breath without seeing the conflicting assessments? How can cow methane (from burping) be used to eclipse cow carbon sequestration (through defecation)? Just like beavers and humans, not all cows are the same.

The beaver climate impact about-face is just one of a plethora of bait-and-switch propaganda flip-flops by climate alarmists who rush to cataclysmic judgments at every turn. If the ideological fanatics cannot pause long enough to reflect on the myriad inconsistencies and conflicting motives in their own pseudo-scientific “works,” it is to be hoped that you, dear reader, have now done so.

Night Cap: School Book Challenges – These are Not Self-Help Books by Therapists

Fri, 2024-01-26 03:00 +0000

Most of the testimony HB 1419 the other day was personal and about those poor teachers and those who think it’s ok to expose children to age-inappropriate materials. I could not attend the meeting, but here’s some enlightenment from someone who went through the “process” and the outcome.

My grandchildren are now in school. I own a farm and can probably educate many on sexual reproduction, but it doesn’t give me the right to educate other people’s children, animals, and sex.  Today, books in our schools are full of horrors such as bestiality and other vile topics beyond natural sexual experience. No wonder there’s so much violence, sexual confusion, and teen suicides. A generation ago none of these books were available, I know this, I volunteered in the schools. Two generations ago, when I was in school, they were not available either. I had access to the Unh Diamond library in high school. Back then, the librarians did not allow us to see or read books that were not age-appropriate. Fact. Now the schools are promoting them as “sex Ed,” self-help, therapy, and so on…yet professionals do not write the books in question. My middle school granddaughter brought home a book called “It’s Perfectly Normal,” a sexually graphic book. That is what started me down this rabbit hole. She was appalled at the content, and it took a lot of explaining to undo the school’s mess. BTW, NO ONE is allowed in the Dover school libraries, no one! No one is allowed into the classrooms, either. I first thought the schools were not aware of these books. Quite the opposite, they prided themselves on them. I started researching and found over 110 books, see attached link below, in Dover schools. Only books rated 3-5 are listed. The number is based on the movie rating system. For details see ratedbooks.org These are the worse, r-rated and up, not high schoolers making out or first time sex, they are filled with sex trafficking, pedophilia, rape, sodomy, oral sex, necrophilia, beastiality, pornography and many more horrors. The school berated me for challenging and changed the rules from no limit to two books per year. I went through their process; it took a year for one book, Boy Toy, about a married female teacher who grooms a 12-year-old boy for sex. What message is the school sending children and teachers by keeping this fodder? I was personally exposed to the local paper by the superintendent as a “book banner” and the town pariah and got threatening calls, and my small business was ruined. The book I challenged, Boy Toy, was put back by order of the school board after the useless challenge of people the school board chose to review the book! My appeal went on deaf ears . Why and what exactly are the promotions of this material doing to children who read it?. I also found sex apps on the Chromebook and SORA that were ignored by the city. I want to add, that many of my these books are written by adults to groom children and make a buck. The authors are enjoying a windfall for every “ban” or challenge. Dover purchased over a dozen copies of “Boy Toy” with tax payers monies! They couldn’t be bothered going to the library and reading the copies we already paid for. Then, the superintendent told tax players I was wasting their money by challenging them. They also put Tricks, by Ellen Hopkins, back in the school library after a challenge. This book glorifies child sex trafficking. Boys and girls turning “tricks” for pedos with lots of drugs. The books on the list are not written by therapists to help children in need. This is important! These books are not self-help books or sex Ed anyone would want a child to read, nor would any qualified therapist use them as therapy for a crisis child… I have eight books challenged out of 110. I received a letter from the superintendent I can only challenge 2. Frankly, I’m at a loss. My life was ruined by these people who are exposing children that are not their own to horrors adults can’t even process. Link to list in Dover.

Just how much more of the Marxist doctrine must the Democrat party endorse before their voters wake up to realize that what was for Granddad and his dad is no more? Current policies attest to the fact that the donkey insignia has been replaced with the hammer and sickle!

Having said this, consider when former stubbornness elected a President whose resume included documentation of draft dodging. Military service has never been a prerequisite for our Presidency, but Clinton’s conduct should bring a resounding public response of “not qualified!”

And there was more; many “ate up” the media’s adoration for their “gifted” orator by “electing the first black president.” Ironically, the question of being a “natural born citizen” was only directed in Sen. John McCain’s direction.

This deception was designed to insulate Obama since his father was a British subject of Kenya, a fact which he himself later made clear. This deception only prioritized the location of birth rather than both parents being American citizens, which Obama lacked!

As inappropriate and reckless as it was to elect Clinton, it wasn’t illegal, which can’t be said of Obama. His election violated Article II, Sect. 1 of our Constitution, which is the law of our land! In hindsight, questions could and should arise as to the legitimacy of his Presidency, including the policies that were enacted!

He later substantiated his non-presidential bearing when talking down to our nation, in his well-worn lecturing mode, that “America wasn’t a Christian nation.” Let’s just say he now owns another first, the first President to publicly and defiantly discount America’s Christian heritage!

The last Musketeer is still in office but sadly is committing his own disqualifying brand as he seems to endorse every communist initiative that reaches his desk. But enough already about America’s own version of “Uncle Joe!”

The record of these three misfits should not surprise since what do misfits do; especially when promoted past their pay grade? Although officeholders bear responsibility for the results of their endorsed policies, they never seem accountable. However, the remedy, as our Declaration rightly assigns, is still with “we the people,” the voters!

Other factors have contributed to America’s floundering. Certain negative influences have recently surfaced, along with the evil that they have endorsed. As this continues to unfold, so does the vastness of this well-organized effort to topple America.

Given my recent piece about the reappearance of truth and its stunning realities, which are always effective, another factor seems more weighty and demanding.

The dem’s political cupboard is bare! Campaigns cannot depend upon disastrous policies which are still being felt by the voter. So, the next resort is to attack and belittle the opponent. In addition to all the flimsy lawsuits and subsequent media hype, one amazing survivor from the 2016 campaigns, which perks up a certain following with its refreshing honesty, is the gruff but honest plain talk from the outsider.

This misdirecting onto a leader’s manners is insulting but more than that, it’s dangerous. Due in large part to the above mentioned trio, today is a time of opting to either remain free or to become subservient! There will not be any middle ground.

At this time, niceties are as irrelevant as they are defeating! This is a war for America’s preservation, and instead of nit-picking, we should thank God that a defender was born and breathes the same love of and dedication to Country as Washington and who is capable of a fierceness that matches Patton!

Buzz Buzzby Breaking News: Biden Threatens To Use F-15 to Defeat 2A Gun Owners

Thu, 2024-01-25 23:00 +0000

Buzz: Good day, folks. Buzz Buzby here with some breaking news. In a recent news conference, the hair sniffer-in-chief said to gun owners and 2A advocates: “You need F-15s and nuclear weapons (if you want to stop my tyrannical government).”

Most everyone who heard him or read his words was a bit aghast. Many thought he was saying that if he comes to take away our guns and demolish our Second Amendment rights, he will do so using F-15s and ( gulp) nuclear weapons.

To follow up on this story, my trusted assistant, Timothy Hasno Bottom, has secured an interview with an F-15 pilot. For obvious reasons, this pilot won’t talk to us unless we guarantee the utmost secrecy. We cannot even identify the base he flies out of nor address him by his name. We have to call him by his fake name: BOB. Take it away Timothy!”

Timothy: Thanks Buzz. As Buzz was saying, we cannot reveal the name of our guest nor even tell you that he, I mean, “it” is an F-15 pilot. We are standing outside “its ” base but we cannot identify it as an Air Force facility.Bob- we have been told that to defeat Gun owners, the government is planning on using F-15 jets to bomb us. Can you confirm that you have been trained in the endeavor?”

BOB: (Empty stare) Huh? What? Who told you that? I thought you wanted to interview me about Kamala Harris’s hiding place.

Timothy: Ok, well that was not a denial. So I will take it as a yes. Tell me, is Nashua a prime target? Or is it down on the list? Maybe third or fourth behind Hudson or Bedford?”

BOB: What I train on is strictly confidential. I cannot confirm or deny what you just said.

Timothy: Aha! Again, not a denial. So if you have been training on attacking Nashua, what is your approach angle? I mean, is Costco safe?

BOB: Dude, I shop at Costco, with my wife and kids. No way I am going to ….wait, you are tricking me. I refuse to answer.

Timothy: How about Home Depot? Or Lowes. I mean they are a hotbed for gun owners and 2A people?

B0B: I think this conversation is over.

Timothy: BOB! …BOB!…COME BACK, I have more questions…like are my chickens gonna die from an F-15? They are innocent. Never owned a gun in their lives and are definitely against any form of violence that might shorten their meager life. Can you mark them as safe? Please?!?!

Timothy: Sorry, Buzz. Not a very good interview but I could not get Bob to come clean. I think though we did learn that if we huddle at Costco, especially when Bob and his family are there, we are probably gonna avoid any F-15s. Back to you Buzz.”

Buzz: Wow! I don’t know what to say except WHO THE HELL OCCUPIES THE WHITE HOUSE AND TELLS US THAT HE IS GOING TO USE F-15’S AGAINST PATRIOTIC AMERICANS?

Tune in NEXT TIME WHEN I WILL DEBUT MY NEWEST SONG

“WHERE HAVE ALL TO YOUNG HAIR-SNIFFED GIRLS GONE?”
