As the COVID “vaccine” landscape collapses, the faithful are scrambling to salvage what they can from their political theater. They were never safe or effective. No approved version ever existed. Oh, and ‘Fully Vaccinated, let’s not use that term anymore. It’s so “antiquated.”
Wednesday’s call with educators was the last of the school year and also the last that state health officials plan to hold during the pandemic. Officials said the testing programs they have put in place will continue into the fall.
State epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan said it’s important to rethink how [COVID] vaccinations are discussed.
“I think we all collectively need to stop using the term ‘fully vaccinated,'” Chan said. “That’s an antiquated term. It doesn’t mean much anymore. Let’s maybe agree together to not use that term. We’re using the term ‘up to date on vaccination.'”
I’m fully vaccinated against mumps, measles, smallpox, a long list of things for which I’ll never need another shot. But when it comes to COVID, I guess you can never be too vaccinated. Forty years later, and the technology has gotten worse? You can’t even come up with a vaccine that gets the job done the first time?
I’m not impressed.
And up to date? Do you mean like my dog’s rabies shots? Instead of passports, maybe DHHS can just issue tags we can wear on our collars?

Hey, is the State Department of Health up to date? Do you have comprehensive (see also, accurate) reporting and science about the COVID19 vaccines? The FDA and Pfizer have released tens of thousands of pages about the Emergency Use Only Authorized mRNA vaccines in recent months. Where on the DHHS website can I see those or get expert insight into what they say or what you think they mean?
I looked, and that would be nowhere.
If they exist in that web space, I could not find them or the latest CDC update on the Comirnaty fraud either. You’d think, in the interest of public health…no?

Let’s maybe spend a bit less time worrying about how educators talk about the jab with kids who don’t even need it (Dr. Chan was talking to educators when he made these comments) and put a little more focus on transparency. Honesty. Or were their gag orders from the Feds attached to all that taxpayer money they laundered to you as pandemic aid?
Public Health might be better served if we knew that as well.
Oh, and for the record, I’m not up to date on my COVID shots. Depending on what number you’re on, I’m probably at least four shots shy.

New Hampshire state law provides for a position called “Inspector of the Election.” We need 963 people throughout the state who are willing to take on this role. The deadline is this coming Wednesday, June 15th, so if you think you might be interested, please read further and act now.
Election Inspectors are election officials with far greater powers than a poll watcher. They are functioning ballot clerks charged with distributing ballots to voters. They also can be present and verify the count of unused ballots at the start of the election day. The inspector likewise can be present and verify the count of cast ballots at the close of the election, among other duties.
The New Hampshire Democrat Party has appointed election inspectors for years. In 2022, the NH Republican Party plans to do so as well. By law, appointment to this position is done by the state GOP.
All that is required to qualify to become an election inspector is to be a registered voter in the polling place (town or ward) where you intend to serve. Training and legal support will be provided.
This position requires a time commitment, but it’s important that we have like-minded people at our polling places to fight for election integrity. The time to act is now, as election inspectors must be appointed by July 15.
Please contact Joseph Gagnon at jgagnon@gop.com or 603-421-4183 to learn more about becoming an election inspector in New Hampshire.
Please Submit Group communications or Press Releases for consideration

President* Joe Biden has announced that the amendments in the US Constitution are not absolute. Like any good civilian disarmament Democrat, he’d like the government to manage what sort of “weapons” we’ll be allowed to have or use. I want to suggest whatever he left in Afghanistan.
They got some nice stuff from Uncle Joe that would come in handy, second amendment-wise.
And for the record, Slo-Joe is not entirely wrong. There is a process for amending the constitution, and that includes un-amending it. Just ask the 18th. Pushed into existence by faction, it was “the law of the land” for thirteen years. But in 1933, it was repealed, mostly because states needed the tax money from selling liquor and maybe because the intervention encouraged some organized crime. Maybe. Oh, and people like to drink.
So, the 18th Amendment wasn’t absolute.
Neither then is any other amendment. There’s a process, and it’s not a phone, a pen, or a majority of black-robed lawyers, though we’ve seen all of that at work in our lifetimes.
But if amendments are not absolute, why not the 16th Amendment. Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
It’s not absolute. If Biden thinks he can take away your second amendment rights, then maybe you take away his 16th.
Who wouldn’t support not having to pay Federal taxes aside from otherwise tax-avoiding Democrats who need your money to fund their personal priorities?
While we’re at it, the 17th Amendment was a terrible idea, so thank God it’s not absolute. States should start recalling their US Senators. New Hampshire, for example, could dismiss both Democrats Hassan and Shaheen for failing to represent the Granite State and replace them with almost anything, and things would be better.
The problem is that any legislation directed toward that end in our state would likely get vetoed by Gov. Groomer. I know it says (R) after his name, but I’m beginning to think that’s a pirate sound, not his actual party affiliation.
He’s not beholden to the party platform nor the state or federal constitution. He’s even got his little doggy – AG Formella – secured under the porch. Give him a treat, and he’ll say whatever the Snoonoo wants about what is and is not legal.
It’s embarrassing.
Maybe if the legislature promised to appoint him to the US Senate, he’d go for it? I know he says he likes “running” the state, and the only thing US Senators run for is office (not if we repeal the ‘not absolute’ 17th). And a state-level appointment to the US Senate would get him out of NH not long after which they could recall him and replace him with someone less progressive.
Pipe dreams, I know, and just for fun. No legislature is going to push it even if “amendments are not absolute.” And no sitting US Senator will stand for any interference into their absolute control over the mountains of lobbyist cash that comes their way or the federal taxation they launder back to those the lobbyists represent.
But it might fix a few things if we could, not least of which is that some “amendments” exist to protect rights, not grant them. They are natural from birth and meant to be beyond the reach of douchebags like Joe Biden. The very people for whom they were enumerated in the first place.

Here is the quote of exactly what Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said two years ago on the steps of the United States Supreme Court.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price,” Schumer, who was then minority leader, said at the time. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
Democrats downplayed the outlandish verbal rhetoric, and Schumer later walked back his words, saying he regretted the outburst. Too little, too late, for a man was arrested in Chevy Chase, MD, in the neighborhood of Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home on Wednesday morning. He was taken into custody in possession of a gun, knife, and various other weapons. He turned himself in after encountering federal Marshalls guarding the Kavanaugh home. He confessed to planning to kill Brett Kavanaugh and his family.
The only thing that stood between this deranged individual and the tragedy of possibly four innocent dead people was the armed guards surrounding this home. All Supreme Court justices have been so protected since the leak of the notes on the upcoming decision on the Roe Vs. Wade consideration.
The Justices have never been afforded Secret Service Protection. The Senate voted unanimously weeks ago on a bill that would provide the men and women of the Court round-the-clock protection. Nancy Pelosi has put the bill on hold and has not allowed it to come to a vote. Why? She is not forthcoming with an answer to why.
The Constitution explicitly forbids the protesting of Judges or Justices at any level. This law is to secure the impartiality of the judicial system. 18 U.S. Code § 1507 – Picketing or parading.
Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
This small detail, The Constitution, has not stopped the likes of Jenn Psaki from encouraging “peaceful” protests of the Justices homes from the White House podium. She also claims that the President denounces any violence but encourages the protesting. The President and his Press Secretary are knowingly encouraging the breaking of the law. Talk about unconscionable.
These Justices need protection and not just armed guards lining the perimeter of their homes. They need to know they are safe in their homes and, with their families, can come and go as they please. These people who are breaking the law and publishing the addresses of the Supreme Court Justices need to be arrested, charged and tried for their actions.
If not, those that are preventing the enforcement of the laws protecting these people are as complicit as if they carried the weapons themselves. Let’s see how quickly these bureaucrats can get something done.

At the conclusion of the Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch meets her untimely end after asking Scarecrow if he’d like a little fire. Dorothy destroys her beautiful wickedness when a conveniently available bucket of water used to douse the burning Scarecrow melts the witch. Hail Dorothy! What does this have to do with chemical castration?
Unintended consequences, of course.
Dorothy didn’t mean to kill the witch. She just wanted to “help” her friend. She didn’t know water would melt a wicked witch. How could she, and who leaves a bucket of water anywhere near a meltable witch? Oz clearly needs background checks for buckets and waiting periods for water. Maybe even an outright ban.
In the Movie, Ms. Gale appears horrified by what she’s done in an I’m from Kansas “we don’t just kill people like that,” sort of a way, but it’s too late to do anything about it.
Related: Dr. Michael Laidlaw – Gender Transition Therapy is Giving Children a Disease
When it comes to parents convincing doctors to use puberty blockers on kids, even if with whatever passes in this scenario as good intentions, they are doing great harm.
One of those drugs is “leuprolide acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist.”
Lupron is just one of several puberty-blocking drugs used by doctors. It’s better known for its use in the chemical castration of sex offenders at serious risk of reoffending.
Do they mention that in the glossy trifold marketing material? Hey, this is the same stuff we use on guys who can’t stop buggering children like little Johnnie here. Sorry, um…little Lola. It suppresses their desire to … live if the suicidal ideation numbers among children and teens transformed in their youth are any indication.
And over 90% of kids left alone are much less likely to attempt suicide and – gasp! – settle in happily into alignment with their biological sex.
CoincidenceChemical and surgical transitioning pass for compassion – from the same folks who think there are too many people on the planet. The ideological descendants of the eugenicists. It makes this look like a ruling class encouraged chemical cull that castrates kids and, in many cases, kills them if they don’t kill themselves.
And it’s not healthy even if they aren’t killed or kill themselves.
When people are given far more of the opposite sex hormone than their bodies can handle, they are at “increased risk for cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular death, deep vein thrombosis. They’ve looked at adults taking these hormones and have seen already these cardiovascular risks.” When these drugs are administered to children, “one would presume it’s the same or even worse, in the long run.”
For nothing? Some believe there’s no evidence that the desired outcome of such treatments is even achievable, which means “scientists,” doctors, and now educators are experimenting on kids based on mental health issues whose end result is more severe health issues.
Commonly reported side effects of leuprolide include: arthropathy, asthenia, decreased testicular size, dermatological reaction, edema, gastrointestinal disease, headache, hot flash, increased lactate dehydrogenase, pain, signs and symptoms of injection site, urination disorder, and diaphoresis. Other side effects include: respiratory system disorder, abnormal hepatic function tests, dehydration, dizziness, dyspnea, impotence, increased serum alkaline phosphatase, increased serum aspartate aminotransferase, insomnia, myalgia, nausea and vomiting, neuromuscular disease, paresthesia, prolonged partial thromboplastin time, sleep disorder, and vertigo.
In other words, if you truly care about the child’s physical and mental health, you’ll leave them the hell alone and (if necessary) provide a bit of therapy to help them navigate whatever they are going through, but not in New Hampshire. Thanks to so-called Republican Gov. Sununu, it is against the law in the Granite State for anyone in the state to counsel children to consider their biological gender in such cases.
They can get therapy, but it must be neutral or encourage transition even if the “patient” wants to remain their biological self. So, they have no choice, thanks to the political left and their Republican allies.
An outcome forced on them before they can legally refuse unless we can set a fire under the issue and build some consensus that puts an end to experimenting on children. A very tall order given decades of ADD and ADHD chemistry experiments and the more recent COVID19 injection debacle.
But it’s still a battle we need to wage and one we need to win.

BRENTWOOD, NH – Thad Riley, the only true conservative choice for Republicans in New Hampshire, announced today the hires of his campaign team in his bid for Governor.
“It is imperative that we restore integrity and trust in the corner office. Unlike our current failed leadership, when I am Governor, we will achieve results for the State of New Hampshire on issues like election integrity, parental rights, and preventing unconstitutional mandates.”
Thad has announced the hire of the following individuals:
“I am confident that this well-rounded and experienced team will forge a path to the corner office. These individuals have storied careers and over a half century of combined experience in politics and business leadership.”

Hungary can’t ban Russian gas and oil because 85% of its natural gas and over 56% of its oil comes from Russia, making it the most dependent of the Euro nations on that source. All of Europe is at some level dependent on Russia, and there is no way around it. Unless of course, Biden unlocks American oil and gas production.
But the left is so intent on destroying fossil fuels here and replacing them with “clean renewable electric” (which likely is impossible, or will take 50-60 years and bankrupt the nation) that they let the Russian dictator, whose latest pronouncements to young Russian entrepreneurs hints at further aggressions targeting the Baltic countries, continue funding his war of conquest.
If Biden can be made to get off the back of American fossil fuel production after the November elections here it would still take months to get up to speed but with our reserves, we have the ability to replace Russia as the primary supplier to Europe.
Good for Europe, good for America, bad for Putin, plus it would send a message to China, who has been casting hungry eyes at Twain for years now.
For that to happen, the Republican Party would need to, for once, act in unison, replace at least half the RINOs and get at least close to a veto-proof majority. That could take some serious arm twisting, if not braking.
Honestly, I’m not so very opposed to taking that kind of hard line with the RINOs but don’t suppose it’s really practical. Still, everyone that is actually concerned with this nation’s future needs to become active and donate to true conservative candidates. And then actually get out and work to get true conservatives elected.
All our futures and our children’s depend on it because the left doesn’t care one iota about you, me, or the American people or nation.

I’m tired of millions of law-abiding citizens with no relationship to school shooters or responsibility for protecting schools being blamed rather than the shooters themselves and those people with the authority, ability, and responsibility to stop these criminals.
Almost all school shooters have long records of mental illness, violence, and threats that are known to parents, public officials, school officials, mental health professionals, and law enforcement. Why don’t they do their jobs to protect society?
If our thousands of laws don’t provide the authority to keep known dangerous people from legally getting guns, why haven’t politicians provided it?
It seems politicians won’t do anything to protect children unless the solution advances their political objective of disarming law-abiding Americans.
After decades of horrible examples, every parent, teacher, health professional, and public official should recognize their responsibility and authority to help troubled children and protect others from them.
Politicians’ workplaces are protected. Why not our schools? Why haven’t the lessons from previous school shootings (e.g., Sandy Hook: https://tinyurl.com/mryasf6h, Parkland: https://tinyurl.com/jwvyrhjm) been implemented everywhere? Don’t officials care? Why isn’t the excess Covid money spent on protecting schools?
As President Obama indicated (https://tinyurl.com/2s3fys52), fatherlessness causes many of our children’s problems. Our laws must stop encouraging fatherless families and encourage fathers to be positive role models for their children.
Taking guns from millions of law-abiding citizens won’t stop school shootings or other crimes, especially when violent criminals aren’t prosecuted, given light sentences, or released early to resume preying on innocent people.
The solution to school shootings is to deal seriously with troubled and/or violent people, keep fathers with their children, and protect our schools.

Last week, the New Hampshire House gave final approval to a bill that would ban state and local enforcement of federal gun control, but with a loophole that significantly narrows its scope.
A coalition of Republicans introduced House Bill 1178 (HB1178) on Jan. 5. As introduced, the legislation would have banned the state and its political subdivisions, or any person acting under the color of state, county, or municipal law from using any personnel or financial resources to enforce, administer, or cooperate with any law, act, rule, order, or regulation of the United States Government or Executive Order of the President of the United States that is inconsistent with any New Hampshire law regarding the regulation of firearms, ammunition, magazines or the ammunition feeding devices, firearm components, firearms supplies, or knives.
The proposed law further stipulates that “silence in the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated pertaining to a matter regulated by federal law shall be construed as an inconsistency for the purposes of this chapter.”
The original language would have created a strong prohibition against state or local enforcement of federal gun control. But an amendment created a loophole that will significantly narrow the practical effect of the law even if enacted.
“In light of the long-standing practice of cooperation between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, nothing in this chapter shall prevent a state, county, or local official from cooperating with or rendering aid or assistance to federal officials in any circumstance where there is reasonable suspicion to believe that a person who is the subject of an investigation for violation of federal firearms law covered by [this law] also has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a violation of New Hampshire law or a violation of a federal law, regulation, order, or practice not covered by [this law.]”
As amended, HB1178 would then only ban state and local enforcement of federal gun control, when the enforcement actions are done for federal gun control alone. But in practice, that almost never happens.
State and local enforcement support is almost always part of some other operation in conjunction with the feds — usually prosecution of the unconstitutional war on drugs. The amendment will allow this to continue unabated. In effect, the amendment says if local police are working with the fed to enforce anything else along with federal gun control, they can do it as they have been all along.
Passage of HB1178 as amended could stop a narrow range of state and local enforcement of federal gun control, representing a small first step for the state. But with the amendment, it would mostly maintain the status quo.
The Senate passed HB1178 by a 13-10 vote. The House approved the final version 163-143. The bill now goes to Gov. Chris Sununu for his consideration.
EFFECTIVEAbsent loopholes, a ban on state and local federal gun control is an effective way to stop it in its tracks.
The federal government relies heavily on state cooperation to implement and enforce almost all of its laws, regulations and acts – including gun control. By simply withdrawing this necessary cooperation, states and localities can nullify many federal actions in effect. As noted by the National Governors’ Association during the partial government shutdown of 2013, “states are partners with the federal government on most federal programs.”
Based on James Madison’s advice for states and individuals in Federalist #46, a “refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union” represents an extremely effective method to bring down federal gun control measures because most enforcement actions rely on help, support and leadership from state and local governments.
Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano agreed. In a televised discussion on the issue, he noted that a single state taking this step would make federal gun laws “nearly impossible” to enforce.
“Partnerships don’t work too well when half the team quits,” said Michael Boldin of the Tenth Amendment Center. “By withdrawing all resources and participation in federal gun control, states and even local governments can help bring these unconstitutional acts to their much-needed end.”
LEGAL BASISThe state of New Hampshire can legally bar state agents from enforcing federal gun control. Refusal to cooperate with federal enforcement rests on a well-established legal principle known as the anti-commandeering doctrine.
Simply put, the federal government cannot force states to help implement or enforce any federal act or program. The anti-commandeering doctrine is based primarily on five Supreme Court cases dating back to 1842. Printz v. U.S. (1997) serves as the cornerstone. For the majority, Justice Scalia wrote, in part:
“We held in New York that Congress cannot compel the States to enact or enforce a federal regulatory program. Today we hold that Congress cannot circumvent that prohibition by conscripting the States’ officers directly. The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States’ officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program. It matters not whether policymaking is involved, and no case by case weighing of the burdens or benefits is necessary; such commands are fundamentally incompatible with our constitutional system of dual sovereignty”
No determination of constitutionality is necessary to invoke the anti-commandeering doctrine. State and local governments can refuse to enforce federal laws or implement federal programs whether they are constitutional or not.
WHAT’S NEXT
Gov. Sununu will have five days from the date HB1178 is transmitted to his office (excluding Sundays) to sign or veto the bill. If he takes no action, it will become law without his signature.
Michael Maharrey is the Communications Director for the Tenth Amendment Center.

New Hampshire Attorney General john Formella has cried uncle on the matter of charging nine “protesters” accused of disrupting an Executive Council Meeting Last October. The NH Nine did no such thing, and the State has decided that it would lose if it perused any charges.
Formella said the seven-month investigation showed that while there was “probable cause” some of the protesters at the Sept. 29 meeting may have violated state law by obstructing the proceedings, state prosecutors likely wouldn’t have been able to provide any criminal wrongdoing.
“Those individuals would have certain constitutional and statutory defenses available to them at trial and based on these defenses, and other evidentiary issues, the state would be unable to sustain its burden of proving these individuals guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,” Formella said in a statement.
Some protesters “would have certain constitutional and statutory defenses available to them at trial.” ” [A]nd based on these defenses, and other evidentiary issues…”
Nice dodge. So, you’ve got no damn case. It was all a waste of time and resources.
And based on the extensive video evidence available from third-party observers – like this, for example – it is clear that there was no “protest” and that the accused were wrongfully arrested and detained.
I should add, at the behest of a whiny petulant governor who just wanted more federal money and was pissed that anyone would dare to object.
If you watch the video, no one obstructed the proceedings, which would become obvious in a trial.
I’m happy for the NH nine, but I am wondering if there is a legal path to punish the antics. Sununu was working an intimidation angle. He wanted to send a message and used the NH State Police to send it. But this is New Hampshire, where an above-average number of people know the law, sometimes better than the people in elected office, and these arrests were a joke from day one.
Not that corruptocrats running the Granite State wouldn’t do it or try to make it sick. That’s expected, but for AG Formella to admit they don’t even have enough for that is a thing.

In August of 2021, COVID vaccine uptake was off, and they needed something to convince people to get The Jab. The Kool-Aid only works if everyone drinks it, so Pfizer and the FDA crafted on paper a legally distinct COVID “vaccine,” named it Comirnaty, and declared it approved.
And it worked. Every Karen and their water carrier proclaimed from atop the rising mountain of bodies and harms that “The COVID vaccine” was approved. It was safe and effective. No excuses. Go get yours today!
But the shot you got, the only injection anyone could or would get, was still under Emergency Use Authorization. That never changed. Comirnaty was a bait and switch, and we were suspicious right out of the gate.
08/21 – Pfizer’s FDA Approved “Vaccine” is Not the One You Got, or Will Likely Get Anytime Soon
10/21 –Pfizer Admits You Still Still Can’t Get Their “FDA Approved Vaccine” in the United States
01/22 –Start the New Year Right – Stop Lying to People about Their COVID19 Vaccine Being Approved.
The corporate media, politicians, and the so-called medical experts all aped the lie. Mandates rolled out. People lost their jobs, careers, and friendships, it was quite the public “health” relations coup. All while the VAERS numbers rose and the vaccinated continued to get sick – to which they responded, well, that’s the fault of the unvaccinated (it was not), and you need a booster!
This cabal even went on a terror campaign against “deniers” and used the “approved” lie to justify jabbing younger and younger children who were never at risk.
A lot of people died. Young people died. They knew it was never safe or effective. And this week, the CDC quietly issued a Pfizer update that Comirnaty will never be produced. The approved version of the “vaccine” only existed on paper, and it was time to dot the ‘i’ cross the ‘t.’
“Pfizer received initial FDA BLA license on 8/23/2021 for its COVID-19 vaccine for use in individuals 16 and older (COMIRNATY). At that time, the FDA published a BLA package insert that included the approved new COVID-19 vaccine tradename COMIRNATY and listed 2 new NDCs (0069-1000-03, 0069-1000-02) and images of labels with the new tradename. These NDCs will not be manufactured. Only NDCs for the subsequently BLA approved tris-sucrose formulation will be produced.”
For the record, BLA approval refers to the Biologics License Application necessary “to market and commercialize a pharmaceutical or biological product in a country or jurisdiction.” It was a false flag that gave Pfizer and everyone else permission to lie to you about what they were “selling” and what you were getting.
So, the 12 billion dose question now is this. The corporate media had zero curiosity about the lack of availability of the “approved” version. They gleefully sold the lie that they were the same – inferring that the EUA version that gave Pfizer immunity was the same.
You’ll not likely see anything bordering on journalism about any of that, just the approved narratives and CDC or FDA-approved talking points.
Now that Pfizer and the FDA/CDC have quietly covered their asses over this stunt, will the ”Media” have the stones to explode this across the front page? Any page?
A search at NH ABC affiliate WMUR for the word Comirnaty produced zero results. Yuu can’t even find old reporting on the so-called approval. It’s been scrubbed.
The liars at the NH Union Leader, however, haven’t scrubbed theirs yet.
So, I doubt you’ll find any admission of the lie in the watchdog media, but if you do, send it my way. I’d love to see the spin or – maybe I’ll be surprised, and someone will commit an act of journalism.
No, I’m not holding my breath.
One more point: Let’s not forget that New Hampshire spent over 100 million dollars on marketing to encourage vaccination based on the “FDA Approved” lie.

The Democratic Party needs America’s racial minorities to vote for their candidates. It’s the foundation of their entire electoral strategy:
Exploit white guilt by targeting college-educated white folks and preaching about privilege. Ensure loyalty from unionized blue-collar workers by bad-mouthing the wealthy and stirring up the envious emotions that accompany class warfare. Instill a sense of victimhood in non-Christians and the LGBTQ community. And, at all costs, make sure that racial minorities – particularly blacks and Hispanics – are Democrat devotees by demonizing your opponents.
It’s a strategy that has served them well for years. But when that support begins to erode, the Democratic narrative of “Vote for us because Republicans are racist” suffers. And that phenomenon becomes particularly problematic when a racial minority not only wanders off the Democrat reservation but throws their hat in the ring of a high-profile, blue state gubernatorial election. Such is the case with Republican candidate for Illinois governor, Richard Irvin.
Irvin has all the qualities that should endear him to Democrats. Irvin is black, was raised in housing projects by a single mother, and has already been elected to public office by becoming the first black mayor of the city of Aurora. But Richard Irvin is also an Army veteran, a Republican, and a candidate who scares the living daylights out of Democrats for one main reason: He could beat incumbent Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker in November.
It is for this reason that Democrats are pouring money into TV ads designed to destroy Irvin’s candidacy in the Republican primary election on June 28th, less than three weeks away. If Irvin was to win the primary, he would go head-to-head with Pritzker in November, and the last thing Democrats want is for the multi-billionaire Pritzker, whose family owns the Hyatt hotel chain, to have to face off against a black Republican.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) and Governor Pritzker have poured over $12 million into ads targeting Irvin over the past five weeks. The ads go after Irvin’s record as a defense attorney while simultaneously attempting to prop up one of his Republican opponents, Darren Bailey, who Democrats rightly believe to be much less threatening to Pritzker’s incumbency.
Irvin isn’t the first black person we’ve seen Democrats attack for the sin of being Republican. We’ve been seeing the phenomenon for ages and has recently become even more frequent. South Carolina Senator Tim Scott was despicably labeled as “Uncle Tim” last year for saying that our country isn’t racist; which it isn’t. Democrats go after Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears at every opportunity, most recently in the wake of the Uvalde shooting. And the left and their media are pulling out all the stops in trying to damage Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker.
What the Democrats’ targeting of Richard Irvin illustrates, as has been the case for years, is that the Democratic Party doesn’t care about black folks, they care about power. They lecture America about black lives matter while simultaneously governing cities like Chicago where black folks are slaughtered on the streets and nothing is done. And when a black man like Richard Irvin rises from the housing projects and then has the gall to run for office as a Republican, Democrats take a bare-knuckled approach in attacking him.
Let’s hope that not only does Richard Irvin win his primary election at the end of the month, but that he also destroys J.B. Pritzker in November.

Aaron Kliegman, Just the News: Jan. 6 panel's case against Trump: Doomed to become the latest debunked elite narrative?
With the credibility of the media and political establishment already reeling from a succession of Democrat-friendly narratives being debunked, Thursday night's prime-time spectacle — the first of what's expected to be a marathon of six total Jan. 6 public hearings over the next two weeks — added to a growing list of stories, widely accepted in elite circles, put out by bureaucrats, politicians, and the mainstream media that were later called into question due to new information.
The seven Democrats and two Republicans on the Jan. 6 select committee tried to show that Trump was at the center of a coordinated campaign to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and that his efforts incited a mob to breach the Capitol in a bid to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
They used a combination of video, audio, and live testimony to make the case, outlining their view of what happened on that fateful day. But they failed to mention key details that paint a fuller picture of what led up to the breach of the Capitol.
Just the News reported Wednesday that the Pentagon first raised the possibility of sending National Guard troops to the Capitol four days before the Jan. 6 riot, citing government memos that validate former Trump administration officials' long-held claims about their efforts to provide extra security.
The Capitol Police rejected the offer of troops, according to the government documents. Soon after, however, then-Chief Steven Sund decided he wanted the troops after all but was turned down by the House and Senate sergeants at arms.
As speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) oversees the U.S. Capitol, including the House sergeant at arms.

John Solomon, Just the News: Jan. 6 Bombshell: Schumer team received FBI intel about possible violence, frontline cops didn't
FBI intelligence warning that Jan. 6 protesters might violently storm the Capitol, target lawmakers and blockade Democrats in tunnels was never sent to frontline police commanders and officers, but was quietly emailed the night before to a top aide to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, according to documents that raise new concern that politics trumped security preparedness in the fateful hours before the riot.
Capitol Police Deputy Chief Sean Gallagher emailed top Schumer aide Kelly Fado, now the Senate's deputy sergeant of arms, at about 9:40 p.m. on Jan. 5, 2021 saying he wanted to "provide you visibility" to new intelligence that an FBI threat analysis center had received from a website owner, according to documents obtained by Just the News.

Ted Turner’s Cable News Network was never unbiased, but after four years of Trump Derangement Syndrome, CNN is TDS. And ratings were not great, but without Trump, they crashed as caravans of viewers migrated to other content, leaving it a shell of its once great self. That’s a problem for its new masters, and changes are imminent.
CNN’s new boss, Chris Licht, is evaluating whether personalities and programming that grew polarizing during the Trump era can adapt to the network’s new priority to be less partisan.
Why it matters: If talent cannot adjust to a less partisan tone and strategy, they could be ousted, three sources familiar with the matter tell Axios.
Warner Brothers/Discovery took control as part of a merger, and the first casualty was CNN+. The unwatched premium service was aborted just outside the womb, and ownership has turned its eye on the mother ship. A global news powerhouse reduced by a petty obsession with hating on Trump and Republicans.
What was once the name in cable news is little more than a third-rate outlet with an overpriced payroll.
Brian Stelter and Jim Acosta may be the worst examples. Acosta thinks he is saving the world from Trump, and Stelter spends every waking moment telling people what FOX News is doing. But if Licht is serious about changing CNN, he will have to fire a lot more people. Don Lemon and Jake Tapper are names that spring to mind.
It sounds like CNN will be required to take transition drugs, and it won’t be painless.
I’m having a hard time feeling bad about any of that. I also don’t believe that CNN will come out the other side much differently than it is today. Chris Licht can make surface changes that people see, but as with most media, the partisanship will remain. The choice of stories to cover, the angle, deciding what truth to ignore.
It is the stock in trade of modern corporate media.
Like the attempted murder of Brett Kavanaugh. His would-be murderer admitted to police his plan to kill the Justice and, if necessary, his family. Imagine a Democrat-appointed justice being threatened in such a way during a Republican presidency.
It would be the only news.
That’s most of the media these days, with CNN and MSNBC in the vanguard. Priorities embedded in producers and staff like spike proteins that you don’t just eliminate with a few Zoom calls or meetings at the “office.”
It is a tall order but one that would be welcome.
CNN can’t survive on liberal outrage alone, and neither can MSNBC, by the way. According to the same article, May was their worst month since 1999.
Without Donald Trump to hate on, it looks like they have little or nothing to offer even to their far-left base.

Congratulations to all of the parents who have been working hard to improve their public schools in SAU16. It was reported that David Ryan, Superintendent, will be leaving the district because the board chose not to renew his contract. After months of parents organizing to change the direction, they finally see that the first step has been taken.
But this is not the time for parents to rest on their laurels. In fact, it’s more important than ever to get involved in the selection process. A good leader is hard to find. Most Superintendents have no intention of leading your district to excellence, they’d rather manage the garbage handed to them by outside forces. That’s why it’s important to stay active, remain vocal, and demand better for your kids.
SAU16 parents made it clear that they wanted the administration to focus on academic excellence. For those pushing social justice, this is how you can help all of the children in your district, black and brown children too.
The current administration was so focused on radical political agendas that they forgot who they were serving. These parents are smart, and they love and care about their children. They are tired of the politics of division and want to go back to a unified district focused on a quality public education for their children.
The leader of the school sets the tone and agenda. All these parents wanted was for their kids to attend a school in a joyful environment where the focus was on academic excellence. Instead, under Ryan’s leadership, they watched as the academics suffered, and the community become further divided.
Parents can start by asking candidates how they will work to unify this broken community. What do they see as their top priorities in a divided community that wants unity, and a school district they can be proud of.
Parents want the best for their children. That starts by focusing on three important priorities:
1) Academic excellence
2) A disciplined and safe environment
3) Respect for the role of the parent
Let’s start with academic excellence. You can start by asking all of the candidates if they’ve read the Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards. Ask them to present a list of flaws that they’ve identified and will address in an effort to make substantial improvements. That will offer parents confidence that the new leader of their school district is honest with them about the flaws, and will work with the teachers to make any necessary changes.
A disciplined and safe environment allows teachers to focus on what they need to do in the classroom. Add a dash of joy to the day, and the morale will improve for all. It’s not rocket science, there are schools like Trinity in Manchester that have this down to a science.
Respecting parents can be part of the parent engagement plan that should have been planned. Within the federal law, Every Student Succeeds Act, school administrators are responsible for developing a parent and family engagement plan. ESSA was signed into law during the Obama administration, so where is SAU16 on their plan?
If you search the district website, nothing comes up, yet here is a plan developed by a school district in GA.
Parent and family engagement plans are a way to include parents in an effort to improve academic achievement. Instead Ryan hired an expensive outside political organization, 2Revolutions, and paid them to develop a plan that reflected their vision for the district. This conflicted with what parents wanted for their children. Talk about mismanagement!
One important measure that would unify this community would be, prioritizing academic achievement. This is something all parents and taxpayers can support. When children are receiving a quality education, parents and community members will stand together. Not only will they stand together, they will support and fight for the individuals in charge of their child’s education. When politics or political agendas become the focus, it’s sure to cause division. Stick to educating children and leave political agendas out of the classroom.
A district committed to diversity can look for a more diverse teaching staff. Hiring a DEIJ Director who comes with a radicalized political agenda diverts funds away from paying the teaching staff a better wage. Parents in SAU16 could see that pushing this radical political agendas was the priority, not academic achievement. That’s going to mobilize good parents to fight for a better education for their children.
Parents also noticed the declining enrollment numbers in SAU16. Parents will either fight or quietly remove their children, and send them somewhere else. They’re not stupid, yet that’s how they were treated. They were basically forced to accept the dumbing down, and the radicalized political agenda. It’s their children and their money, that’s not going to work for many families.
There is nothing more important than hiring highly qualified and educated teachers in the classroom. Parents have wisely voiced their support for hiring and maintaining the best teaching staff. But teachers have been working in an environment that breeds toxicity. A good leader must be honest, focused, and have integrity.
All of this is possible with a leader who cares about offering quality education to the children they were hired to serve. It’s not a recipe that is difficult to figure out.

And the Left is ALWAYS stating that all Domestic Terrorism is committed by those on the Right? Timely poll, given the Leftist that wanted to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh and his family:
According to a recently released poll, nearly half of male Democrats under the age of 50 (44 %) say it’s acceptable to assassinate a politician “who is harming the country or our democracy,” the highest percentage of any age/gender/party demographic. The poll, which was conducted by Tulchin Research for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), also found that nearly a third of younger Democrat women and younger Republican men agreed with the statement, as did 40% of younger Republican women.
I am both gobsmacked and flummoxed by the results -but I shouldn’t be surprised. It’s a constant theme that I can summarize like this:
It’s not the gun that kills, it’s the man/woman using the gun.
I’ve been railing about the degraded culture that the Left has been de-normalizing since the 1960s – we are all reaping what they sowed in the intervening decades. With the denigration by popular culture of religious faith (aka, do not murder), the “triteness” of how important Life is (e.g., abortion, euthanasia, and the wild abandon to “even” aggrievances with death), emotion over reason, and the emphasis that *I* come first before others, one should not be surprised at the result.
It’s plain scary.
That old saw “Conservatives think Progressives are misguided, Progressives think Conservatives are evil” has gone on steroids. Seriously – assassinate someone?
That’s Banana Republic area. That’s Third World environs…oh wait!
Didn’t we all watch this, sometimes in real time, during the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots? Nothing mattered except for themselves – no regard for others’ property, businesses, or lives.
Welcome to what the Democrats have wrought.
And just wait until the Right has finally had enough and goes “OK, dudes – you set the New Rules and now we’re gonna play by them as well”.
Give the reaction when we started using their Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals against them, just WAIT until you see their reaction.

Men have an inherent biological advantage when it comes to athletics. Given equal time and training, most women can’t compete. Those who think Title IX empowers girls and women through sport believe that letting men compete as women undermine that. And now, 18 states agree with us.
NEW: Louisiana has BANNED biological males from competing in girl’s sports with Governor John Bel Edwards allowing it to become law without his signature.
Louisiana is the 18th state to protect our daughter’s sports.
— American Principles (@approject) June 7, 2022
SB 44 or “Fairness in 16 Women’s Sports Act,” … requires all participants of women’s sports to be “biologically female” and gives them the ability to sue in case of violations, has passed the Senate by a vote of 32-6-0 and moves to the desk of John Bel Edwards last May 25.
The Democrat Governor allowed the bill to become law without his signature, saying, “It was obvious to me after two years it was going to become law whether or not I signed or vetoed the bill.”
So, are Democrats coming around on the issue? If they can help it, sure. It’s not popular with most Americans, it doesn’t make much sense, and it’s not fair. John Bel Edwards probably took a knee because he knew he couldn’t stop it, and the momentum was not in his favor. But that’s not breaking the seventh seal or a sign from the ideological heavens. It’s just politics.
The far left has a stranglehold on the Democrat party the way Islamofascists control those “moderate Muslims” about which we hear so much. They exist but are ineffective and might as well be unicorns or peaceful Democrat protests.
What I did find interesting, and I’m not sure if this was passed in any of the other 17 states, is what I’ll call the accountability clause.
Back in 2019, Selina Soule lost a shot at a scholarship when two boys competing as girls placed higher than biological girls in the same competition. They didn’t have any legislative support, and in Connecticut, where she lived, there was little enough moral support. She had to file a federal lawsuit without a net.
The Louisiana law includes a provision that allows girls and their parents or guardians to sue schools that ignore the law, and we know why that was needed. Schools will ignore the law.
I’m not sure how you hide something like this, but I would not be surprised to see them try. There is, of course, one sure-fire way to learn the truth, not that I envy anyone who ends up with that job.
But good on Louisiana for moving this forward and making a veto untenable.

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
Those are the words of career ruling-class swamp creature Chuck Schumer after the unethical leak of the SCOTUS Draft decision in Dobbs v. Jackson. (And not one of them expressed concern over “sources and methods.”)
I can’t help thinking about what Democrats would have done with that if Trump had said it during the DC rally on January 6th. “I want to tell you, Congressman, I want to tell you, Senators, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
It sounds like incitement to violence and insurrection, and they’d have a point.
I only bring it up because police have arrested a California man who traveled to Maryland to kill Justice Kavanaugh and his family. And I don’t know for sure, but I bet he wore a condom, a Depends undergarment, and a mask on the plane.
Early in the morning on Wednesday, a California man was arrested near the home of SCOTUS Justice Brett Kavanaugh and charged with attempted murder. The man claimed that he was fueled by anger over the leaked draft opinion that could soon see the court overturn Roe V. Wade.
Incitement to violence and insurrection? And will they also charge him under18 US Code § 1507 (he was trying to influence a judge).
Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt.
The protect “Democracy” crowd hasn’t been interested in enforcing that either. Like most progressive notions, that street only goes one way, and the rank and liberal sheeple don’t seem to notice or care.
Kavanaugh’s would-be killer, undoubtedly an avid watcher of CNN and MSNBS, is from California. Overturning the viability standard in Roe based on new scientific evidence would have no impact on California’s existing abortion laws. He could still be his niece’s “favorite uncle” for years to come without worrying about them being punished with a baby.
That’s speculation. I have no idea if he has siblings or if they have children. But he’s clearly a leftist loon and a stupid one at that. I wonder if he’ll decide he’s a woman to get locked up with the ladies. I’m not sure how well he’d fare in Federal men’s prison but needing an abortion wouldn’t be the issue.
As for Schumer, his rant is a clear incitement to violence; sorry, I meant another shining example of free speech. You know, riots, arson, muggings, assault, and murder if the cause is progressive enough. Otherwise, it’s hate speech.
If Democrats didn’t have double standards, they’d have none.
And before I forget, the would-be-killer could have just as easily been inspired by New Hampshire, Senator Jeanne Shaheen.
