We have seen the suffering and mourning for a week now in Uvalde, Texas. They are starting to say goodbye to their loved ones, but it will be a long time before the tears dry for these folk who have had their loved ones taken long before their time. The shooting in Uvalde continues to be a political issue that shows the divide between the Left and Right. The Right is open to discussing all variables that go into a person creating evil destruction on others, while the Left has a single solution. The only solution for Joe Biden is gun control, period.

The main topic of conversation at today’s White House briefing was the shooting and what plans the President has to solve the plague of mass shootings. It is almost comical watching the totally inept and ill-prepared Karine Saint Pierre read generic answers to questions asked. The question is posed, and she fans through the pages to find the written response. Shameful, but that happens when you go for diversity rather than talent.

It was shocking to hear the answer to a question on the President’s stand on fortifying schools. You would think this would be a slam dunk. There is plenty of money left since schools have only spent 8% of allocated COVID money. Secure the schools. One door in monitored by more than one person, including a Safety Officer. Karine flipped the pages until she found the page that said the President opposes securing schools……Why? There is no logical explanation.

Over the weekend, we saw Biden resort to his old claim that the Second Amendment is not absolute. That is his interpretation and certainly not shared by many. He uses the example that you could not buy a canon at the time of writing the Bill of Rights. That is his assumption and not based on fact. For some unknown reason, Biden is going after 9mm handguns while Kamala Harris wants a ban on assault weapons. There is no connection between 9mm handguns and mass shootings and no such category as assault weapons. How can you defend either of these arguments?

How serious can Democrats claim to be on solving mass shootings when they have no interest in discussing options. There is no securing schools, discussion on mental health issues, or consideration of Red Flag issues. Just take away legal guns from law-abiding citizens.

In Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants a ban on all guns. What else would you expect from a knee-jerk poster child for Socialism and excess control north of the border. This is the same man that kept an entire nation under virtual lock-down, and the border closed between Canada and the United States. This man is destroying Canada just as Biden is taking a scalpel to America. When will the voters open their eyes and vote with their heads rather than bleeding liberal hearts?

When we have Joe, Kamala, and Karine all stuck on the same page of the briefing book, how will progress be made on solving a situation that needs immediate attention? Do we see a pattern here? The Border Crisis, out of control gas prices, historical inflation rates, enough Fentanyl to kill us many times over, and now mass shootings with no plan to address or solve any of them. It is far from conspiracy to say that the lack of action is an intentional act by Democrats to destroy America and to transform what remains in their image.

The price of gas is about as high as it has ever been, and that is precisely what the Left wants. It is what they wanted Biden to do, and he did it. So, they are happy, but they are mad. Glad it worked, furious that they might have to pay a political price.

To borrow from Dame Thunberg, How dare you.

In utopia, gasoline must be priced out of reach for all but a few, and no Democrat should have to suffer politically. But we still have elections, and as poorly conducted and subject to fraud as they may be, Democrats can still lose them when the chattel get their jimmied rustled about high fuel prices.

But we’ve not achieved utopia (endless Democrat one-party rule) or a state in which they could punish you for sharing information like this, not for lack of effort, so …

…they have to blame someone else for something they want and worked this hard to achieve.

The Putin price hike narrative withers a bit anytime someone not sold on Bidenista dogma sees something like this. (Hint: share it). It’s one graphic, easy to follow and verify. A cartoon of sorts exposing a comedy of deliberate action that shows you, dear reader, that gasoline is supposed to cost this much. That, when they said that’s what they wanted or what would happen, they mean it. But not if it means someone might replace them and undo the damage.

Obama said it out loud. His policies would make prices skyrocket. And back in 2012, when they did, the nation didn’t have “I did that” stickers, but they did have Post-It® Notes, and they used them. Free speech, don’t you know. It pissed off the Left but again, that was a promise kept. This is what they want. Saying otherwise is a lie.

Democrats lie. A lot, often, with frequency. Back in 2018, NPR (Nancy Pelosi Radio) tried to convince us that cheap oil was bad for the economy despite it going gangbusters, “…it’s not such an easy thing to say that a drop in oil prices is unambiguously good for the U.S. economy.”

Cheap oil is not good” combined with “our policies will make prices skyrocket” and a graphic showing how prices increase, and the jury has reached a verdict. Guilty of doing what you intended, which is to make energy prices as high as possible.

It makes everything else cost more. Everything.

And if you think for one moment that electricity will be their savior, think again. The American Left’s plan to electrify everything without even a fraction of the capacity to meet that demand is not a new tactic for progressives. “Schemes that have been implemented in full in places like Germany, where electricity has gotten so expensive as a result, that it has become a luxury.”

The electric future is no future, except for the elites who can afford it or have reliable access. It’s the end game of the Green New Deal. A program its creator admitted publicly, is about economics and wealth redistribution, and not to you or poor people or anyone but the elites who control it. There’s no equity, and the discrimination is deliberate and debilitating by design. They’re not saving the world, but if they were it is at your expense but not for you. It’s for them. And far too many people have bought into the idea that they care about the planet (they don’t) and can do something other than making life miserable for everyone else, which they have.

And that’s deliberate. It is by design.

Will Rogers has a humorous observation on how lots of us think: “The problem with the American people is not what they don’t know, it’s what we think we know that ain’t so.” Representative Mike Lee of Alabama has introduced H.R. 7806, The American Sovereignty Restoration Act to completely Get the US Out of The United Nations. The goals of the UN were altruistic, however, the implementation of said goals has been less than desirable.

First of all consider the UN globalist strategy has followed an agenda to bring “peace through force” which has resulted in wars fought by American soldiers and financed with U.S tax dollars. The narrative of the world government movement has been a “monkey on the back” of our independence and freedom since WWII because it attacks the U.S. Constitution. Just as saws and hammers are tools to build with, the UN is a tool to build a world government.

Unfortunately, Eleanor Roosevelt, when she chaired the UN committee that drafted the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, allowed the language in Article 29 that negates all the previous rights granted with the words: “Rights should not be exercised contrary to the principles and purposes of the United Nation.” This completely turns away from the Americanist principles espoused in the Declaration of Independence that human rights come from God our Creator that was written into law in the First Ten Amendments, essentially telling the federal government what it could not do.

Over the past 70-plus years, Marxism has gradually eroded American sovereignty overruling constitutional domestic law in many critical areas. The UN is showing its true purpose to so many today. Personal health decisions being taken away have exposed the WHO’s violation of inherent rights during these pandemic years as this global malignancy has rapidly metastasized in the area of health with a compassionate desire to control healthcare all over the world. Blessed with the protection from public scrutiny by the media, this week they are meeting in Geneva at the World Health Assembly to draft a Global Pandemic Treaty with two in-depth amendments that could easily be mistaken for international law proposed by an enemy to control the American people by a foreign enemy power.

The Biden Administrations’ actions this week reveal his position to take personal healthcare away from individuals, ceding these inherent liberties to International Health Regulations (IHR). This would give WHO’s bureaucrats the power to replace doctors caring for and advising American citizens. Who of us will trust their liberty to such global power that in the past during the Obama Administration sent thousands of U.S. troops to the Ivory Coast of Africa to help the UN to enforce medical martial law when Ebola was spreading? Do we want annual “lockdowns” to be part of the American way of life? Don’t put your faith in the Senate to stop the new treaty with a 2/3 majority. Adding these controls on to IHR will be automatic new powers that will continue the dangerous trend of overriding our Constitution on the way to 100% control of our lives.

The global government is rapidly strangling human liberty with force through their concern for our physical health through the World Health Organization. Do not the above facts shed new appreciation for Presidents Trump’s withdrawal from the WHO? It is critical that Americans who have been provoked by invasive control of personal healthcare, realize that the only permanent way to defund the Global Pandemic Treaty and its new IHR, is to Get the US Out Of the UN. It hasn’t just become a monster to destroy our liberty during the pandemic. It has safely moved its globalist agenda to overrule constitutional law in many areas for decades because the majority of our Political leaders have represented their constituents as if they have sworn allegiance to the UN Charter instead of the U.S. Constitution They must be terminated at the ballot box If this counterrevolution against globalism is to succeed.

Concerned citizens would do well to inform themselves about all the tentacles of UN controls that have become “assumed powers” that illegally supersede constitutional domestic law at jbs.org. For since its origin in 1958 The John Birch Society has aimed its educational war against this UN “fifth column” that is strangling American liberty at the American electorate to send constitutionalists to office. Apparently, they are slow learners, for it is so obvious that the superiority of the historical foundation of Americanism over the UN peace by force, is another way of saying that freedom is superior to slavery. Help build a fire of truth under the feet of your Senator and Congressmen to be a cosponsor with a true friend of American Independence and liberty, Rep. Mike Lee of Alabama whose bill H.R. 7806 will completely withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations. Be a friend to liberty. Don’t be one of those Americans who think they know the UN is for peace. It ain’t so!

Fresh off his 9-0 SCOTUS Free Speech win (Shurtleff vs the City of Boston), Hal Shurtleff, the co-founder, and the director of Camp Constitution joins us to talk about the case, the experience, and free speech in America.

We just cut Hal loose and let him walk us through the process. How it started, the players for and against, supporters outside the Court, and the attention this has brought to similar violations of free speech rights on flag poles in cities around America.

From Massachusetts to Ohio, he explains how this decision has changed how cities handle their “public flagpoles,” as well as the case in Nashua with our own Beth Scaer who is in discussion with the same Lawyers Hal used regarding Nashua’s continued refusal to allow her to fly the Save Women’s Sports flag.

We also cover firearms, shootings, Natural rights, soft and hard targets, the decline of gun rights across New England, and the Left’s was on self-defense in general. And we get some updated news on Camp Constitution.

It’s a great episode, I hope you’ll make time to listen.

In case you haven’t heard of the World Economic Forum (WEF), likely because as a member of the world you’re on the target, not the invite list, here is a brief synopsis.

Picture a room full of swankily dressed billionaires and gagillionaires engaging in thinly disguised verbal masturbation masquerading as “global policy”, and pretentiously pious circle jerking (the type of behavior which actually takes place at the World Eyes Wide Shut after party) with which they have dutifully burdened themselves, because corporate take-overs and color revolutions, if you didn’t know, are actually quite exhausting.

What does one have to do to get into this elitist of elite supra-governmental country clubs asks the warm and red-blooded, freedom loving types? If when I say pedigree you think of dog food the chances of you getting in are about the same as you running a successful chain of saunas in the underworld.

Speaking of hell, that is the likely afterlife vacation spot for WEF founder and globalist super predator Klaus Schwab, or as he’s genially known among his adoring fans, Satan Klaus.  Like the lone ranger of the North Pole this Klaus has worked hard to see you when you’re sleeping and to know when you’re awake thanks to your pocket sized geo-tracker.  Like most of their dubiously named inventions your “smart” phone, which actually makes you dumber, has a double meaning.  The smartest thing about it for someone like Klaus is he gets you to pay for your own slow motion “lee-bear-ation from zee shackles of kah-peet-al-izm” (re: techno-slavery).  Resist your urge to pat him on the back, they have an app for that. Klaus doesn’t like to be touched by “zee little pee-ple”.

In a room filled by folks who compare themselves by the number of central banks they own, Klaus is decidedly a low man on the totem pole.  Making up for the disappointment of taking his family’s hard earned Nazi fortune and turning it into mere millions, Klaus does what any megalomaniacal Ubermensch would –  overcompensate  by throwing parties for the absurdly rich and powerful.  If power corrupts this group is consolidating it, absolutely.

Baby Klaus was groomed for this moment by parents who had him suckling at the breasts of a nubile and exclusive German coven with high turnover because it turns out witches don’t have the best hygiene.  His evenings were spent listening to torridly narrated stories by his third-cousin twice-removed Adolf, who liked to brag about his new job as chancellor.  If he was lucky, Uncle Addy would read him bedtime stories by Hegel or the Brothers Grimm.  Little Klaus would drift off fantasizing his real parents were Odin and Heimdallr who moved his bedroom from the dungeon to the second floor where he could see the smoke billowing softly from Dachau.  Ahh, memories.

Young Klaus was shipped off to boarding school, or “internat” if you speak supremacist.  The silver spoons, freshly removed from the homes of his Hebraic neighbors, supped borscht made red from something other than beets.  Afternoons were spent hunting big game in the zuruck vierzig in preparation for the most dangerous game – taking over the sonnensystem.  A solid C student Klaus learned quickly, if he learned anything, that success was a matter of who you knew and whether her parents had raised her to be a lesbian.  An attractive future for a man who can’t grow a real beard.

After college and narrowly dodging the Nuremberg trials, Klaus set out into the world he hoped to dominate as an economist.  Despite lengthy sessions of Marxist indoctrination Klaus only remembers a joke about economists that goes:

Three men apply for the same job, a mathematician, an accountant and an economist.  The interviewer asks each the same question “What does two plus two equal?”.  The mathematician answers “Four.” The accountant answers “Four, plus or minus one.” The economist looks around, lowers the blinds, dims the lights, then leans in close to ask “What do you want it to equal?”  He still laughs when telling it at parties, because he knows deep down the real answer is five.

Advancing to a semi-profitable career in economics Klaus felt stagnant and stultified by the stunning success of capitalism that brought him only millions of dollars rather than the millions of subjects he and his secret society brothers deserved.  He realized he needed a mentor.  Disappointed by the chicanery of a young Tony Robbins who had Klaus hopping over hot coals, clearly a part of his future for which he wasn’t ready, and overwhelmed by the amount of homework given by Stephen Covey, Klaus did what any son of reptilian overlords would.  He reached out to Satan who famously taught about what it means to make sacrifices.

As luck would have it, however, Klaus was working an evening job for his fourth-cousins seven-times removed the Windsors.  Serving cocktails he overheard Mick Jagger waxing on and on about a very influential and cosmopolitan man who once held a general’s rank as a tank driver for his beloved German army.  Klaus, not too proud to beg, convinced a sympathetic Mick to arrange a meeting.  Looking the part in his best Lord and Tailor suit Klaus became an instant fan boy of this man of wealth and taste.  In rapt attention Klaus could hardly keep from blushing as the one known as Sweet Lou regaled him with stories of a life, not unlike Forrest Gump’s, punctuated by  being at all the wrong places at the right time.  He swore he saw a second shooter on the grassy knoll while attending John Kennedy’s last parade.  For the first time in Klaus’ life he thought he was actually experiencing those things called feelings.

Lou boasted a small but international coterie of protégés, with an emphasis on what he proudly referred to as “diversity, equity and inclusion”.  Introduced to a young Hillary Clinton and an Ethopian communist named Tedros who was planning his first genocide, Klaus was somewhat shocked to find out this meant he would be working with women and black people.  “Keep your eye on the prize” he heard that sometimes scary inner voice say.  Luckily, the band of randy ne’er do wells pulled together playing games like Risk and watching movies like Austin Powers late into the night.  Smitten by the smooth styling of his new favorite character Dr. Evil, likewise bald and somewhat grotesque in that can’t help but admire it way thought Klaus, he quickly adopted the look to match his deep Teutonic aspirations.  Donning his hand-stitched by real Uyghurs Alien Lord tunic Klaus at last felt like he could take on the world, literally.

As luck and some heavy conspiring would have it these upstarts had all the right friends in all the right places to slowly and methodically take the western world by silent storm.  No longer stuck palling around with dorks like Gerhard back in school, Klaus was now hobnobbing with studs like Bill Gates.  The WEF meeting began to fill with the A-list of the super-rich, so elite you won’t find their numbers in the Yellow Pages because they exchange them in their little black books on Epstein Island.

Life is great now if you ask Klaus, who says so in the titles of his books.  Ever the optimist Klaus can find the silver lining in anything.  Pandemic you say? Time for a Great Reset!  Unpopular you say?  Time for a Great Narrative! Too many people causing climate change? We need a Great Cleansing – how many bee-llion of you should vee have take vun for zee team!

After all, we’re all in this together, right Satan Klaus?

In a few short years, the Democratic-Socialists in Venezuela reduced a gem of a nation, rich in resources, productivity, and wealth, into a socialist cesspool. America’s ‘Democrats’ are working hard to get it done here even faster.

America is a bigger nut, the biggest nut, but the Bidenistas, picking up where Lightbringer left off, have hit the accelerator on the Cloward-Piven mobile and aimed us for the steepest cliff they could find. We’re heading straight for Bidenzuela, and when we get there, it won’t be pretty. Not for anyone.

Food, electricity, cell service, public safety, infrastructure. That’s all going to go down the crapper and fast.

And that’s the point. The goal is chaos and destruction.

Civil war is what they are after. Marshall law. Not the COVID lockdown sort. They want the “get shot if you are on the street or out after dark” variety. Why else would they do as much as they could to make it happen? Hit all the candy-apple-red buttons, even in an election year.

Insurrection is the goal. The real thing, not the fake J6 thing. They want armed militias fighting “loyalists” on the television if you can get television.

This whole thing is a nationwide case of entrapment. Push people over the edge. Get them riled up.  And then hold the Capitol doors open, urge them inside, and then “arrest” them for “trespassing.”

Any excuse to federalize local police. Make everyone pick a side and then shoot the other side in the name of law and order. The jackbooted sort. No matter the result.

Remember, with the Left, is it always about the revolution.

Destroy it all, rule over the ruin.

That’s how dangerous they are. It is how badly we need a change in Washington. Not just politicians but everything. And I have zero faith that a Republican majority will do more than kick the tires and enjoy the view on the way down. They want good seats. Potemkin Democracy. Look ‘republicans.” This isn’t a one-party authoritarian state? But it is, or will be.

Bidenzuela.

I’d rather not be forced to go there, and neither would you, but they will not stop unless we find another way to stop them. And states, as I keep saying, are the only haven left to us. The only place we can secure our rights is the sovereign states. And if we can’t find representatives capable of standing up and defending us from Federal overreach and a Governor who is on their side, we better move somewhere in America that can. There are plenty of red states, and we’ll need them all, but wouldn’t it be nice to have an outpost in the Northeast?

The only state left is New Hampshire. But the DC ambassadors pretending to represent us are all in on the generational debt, open borders, gun control, and the rest of it.

And I don’t think we need to worry about Dems stealing the mid-terms as much as we should consider that their plan might be to make sure there are none.

Welcome to Bidenzuela.

Discussions of possible federal ‘red flag’ laws are being raised again.

The basic idea is that if someone is accused of posing a danger to himself, or others, you take away his guns until you can judge whether the danger is real and if it’s not, he can try to get his guns back.

Constitutional issues aside, the two main practical problems with red flag laws are (1) once the guns are taken, it can be difficult and expensive to get them back (and sometimes impossible to get them back undamaged), and (2) there’s no accountability for the people who ‘warn’ the authorities about problems that don’t actually exist.

It seems like a good time for a reminder that there’s a way to achieve the goals of a red flag law without either of these problems:  A purple flag law.

Such a law addresses the first concern by confiscating the person instead of confiscating his guns. (Persons, unlike guns, have a right to habeus corpus.)  And it addresses the second concern by adding substantial and mandatory consequences for false accusations.

Note that even in cases where an accusation is well-founded, and it turns out that a person is too dangerous to let him continue to move around freely, a purple flag law has the crucial advantage of focusing attention where it belongs — on the person, and not on the guns.  So, although they require violating all kinds of other constitutional provisions, Purple Flag Laws do not raise Second Amendment issues.

Of course, in a free country we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. But to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, you don’t make laws for the country you want.  You make laws for the country you have. Purple flag laws may be the best we can do for the country we have now.

We got an email from the Grandson’s kindergarten about this coming week.  In it were some instructions for the rest of the school days:

We will be enjoying lots of outdoor learning this week so please have your child wear sneakers every day and put on bug spray at home.  We cannot apply lotions or sprays to our learners.  We will be on the nature trail every day, as long as the good weather allows.  Sneakers are best to keep toes safe on the trail.

TMEW and I were talking about this – his last day of school is in a couple of weeks.  First, what this told us is that the formal classroom teaching is most likely over for the year. We kind of figured that out as the Grandson said that they were doing “camping out in school”. That’s not to say there’s no learning going on – homeschoolers take advantage of any and all chances for education and there is a lot to learn being outside.

But look at the admonition – WE have to apply bug spray to him before he gets on the bus – they cannot do any of that (bug spray, I guess, being the new aspirin).  They don’t have permission from us to give him anything without prior notification or assent.  That’s the way it should be.

Even for something like bug spray. Yet:

A. Privacy

The Gilford School Board recognizes a student’s right to keep private one’s transgender status or gender non-conforming presentation at school. Information about a student’s transgender status, legal name, or gender assigned at birth also may constitute confidential information. School personnel should not disclose information that may reveal a student’s transgender status or gender non-conforming presentation to others, including parents and other school personnel, unless legally required to do so or unless the student or parent has authorized such disclosure. Transgender and gender non-conforming students have the right to discuss and express their gender identity and expression openly and to decide when, with whom, and how much to share private information.

When contacting the parent or guardian of a transgender or gender non-conforming student, school personnel should use the student’s legal name and the pronoun corresponding to the student’s gender assigned at birth unless the student, parent, or guardian has specified otherwise.

As I have related before – they can certainly lie to me about the sexual identity of my Grandson.

Again, look what a school in Clay County, Florida did to a 12 year old girl. Send to the guidance counselor for bullying, Ms. Washington “counseled” that child into going transgender which led the child to trying to commit suicide twice in the school’s girls’ bathroom before ever notifying her Parents.

I know I keep repeating this, but this child is not the only one. The school did something that they didn’t have permission to do.

So which is worse – can’t do bug spray but put into motion the process of turning a child transgender and not telling that minor child’s Parents what they are doing to that child?

Being the Chair of the Belknap County Republican Committee, I made it known of my displeasure that the new Communications Director of the NH GOP has positioned the Party to support the incumbent Governor over the three candidates (that I know about) that will be primarying Chris Sununu.

Dear Steve & Pam:

Perhaps it might be a god idea for our new communications director to read and understand the bylaws of the NHGOP, especially the section that prohibits the NHGOP from taking positions in primaries.

We all know that there is going to be a primary for the governor’s race, with at least two candidates announced in addition to Sununu- so it would seem to be highly inappropriate for the NHGOP’s communications director to advocate for the re-election of the governor.

It is one thing to advocate for the election of a Republican for governor, but quite another to advocate for the re-selection of the existing governor who is facing a primary.

So before I “welcome the new NH GOP Comms Director, I would direct her first to study the NH GOP ByLaws before letting loose again:

No officer of the State Committee as defined in Article II, Section 2, shall participate in any primary contest on behalf of any candidate for a Republican nomination. They shall remain strictly neutral in any such primary contest.

I couldn’t be more excited to move up to the Granite State! As Governor Sununu says those who were born in NH are lucky, and those who move here are smart! I couldn’t be more happy to be up here in the Granite State as we prepare for what I know is going to be a historic year for Republicans.

I’ve already hit the ground running, working hard to reelect our Governor, expand our State House majorities and fire Maggie Hassan, Chris Pappas, and Annie Kuster!

This is going to be a great cycle, but Team NHGOP and I can’t do it alone. We need your help to secure victories this November. Will you help out Team NHGOP by donating?

Thank you for your support!

A wee bit rambunctious there, Mackenzie, or is this just a carry over from NJ politics. You probably should have a chat with Matt Mowers about such a transition…

…or maybe not.  Be more fun this way. Hey Mackenzie, did anyone BOTHER to tell you about Karen Thurston or Thad Reilly or Julian Acciard?

And no, I’m not not going to call her Barney because she’d probably be thinking of this one:

Not a lot of operational discipline here, Steve – staff, emails, allowing Democrats running as Republicans…

Never one to let a crisis go to waste, the usual suspects are chanting the same old Progressive Psalms about disarming Americans. The problem for them is not a few people abusing freedom, it is freedom.

That’s their song and dance, and it gets to the heart of who they are – authoritarians who hate liberty. Any liberty. And they are back to deny your right to self-defense by any means imaginable.

Local and National Leftish benchwarmers see it as an opportunity to burnish their progressive cred by claiming to care about children who survived their obsession with abortion. And the Teacher’s unions, always more interested in the socialist agenda than education or protecting teachers or kids, are on the same page while the media is happy to be their megaphone.

Their plan to protect students, teachers, and staff in public schools is to disarm everyone except unhinged, violent sociopaths who won’t follow the law no matter what the law.

And this works for them.

The left loves crime, chaos, and mass murder. It destabilizes society and upends the culture. The Summer of Floyd riots proved that. Add no cash bail, releasing felons from jail, inviting drugs, human trafficking, and gangs across the undefended southern border—defunding police (including school resource officers).

School shootings get the Left politically aroused. And they are convinced that if they can orchestrate enough misery they’ll get the guns. But what if that’s not what happens? What if Americans realize the ‘Government’ has no intention of protecting teachers, staff, students, or anyone else?

No intention, and no obligation. Just disarm you then leave you to fend for yourself while they let their revolutionaries tear the world apart one neighborhood at a time.

What if that backfires?

The Consitution protects the right to self-defense and to bear arms, it does not protect the existence of public schools. In New Hampshire, the Constitution cherishes the idea of education but nowhere does it say the government is entitled to a monopoly. There is no right to public education only an acknowledgment that educating the public is beneficial to society*.

But where’s the benefit? It takes a school to bankrupt a village. Education taxes are, in most cases, the most significant expense in your town budget. And what do you get?

You get a curriculum that teaches your kids that they are white supremacists or racists with no chance for redemption and not much else. There is grooming and sexual predation. “Graduates” may be less informed and prepared than at any point in American history.

And now this?

The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness engender the circumstances required for its attainment. You need to be alive – and not learning in fear – to get anywhere near such a destination.

If the government schools are incapable of keeping teachers, staff, and students from getting shot at, wounded, or killed, then the answer is not to disarm citizens who did nothing wrong. Letting authoritarianism swell to punish the law-abiding will never result in life, liberty, or happiness for anyone but those who rule.

The answer is to create opportunities to learn with less risk of harm without sacrificing natural rights or fundamental freedoms. That requires parents and taxpayers and teachers to get involved and fix the schools they have or create new ones.

What those look like will depend on you but it should probably include a healthy respect for the Constitution and the safe and proper use of firearms and the right to keep and bear them.

Even psychopaths have the sense to avoid hardened targets and if you need proof just compare mass shootings at schools with a known armed presence versus those that are known or advertised gun-free zones.

 

 

*Note: State or local law may require a district, school board, or some entity to ensure education is funded until “graduation.” If your government (that’s YOUR government) restricts how that diploma may be attained you have some work to do to decouple kids from government schools, but what better motivation than their inability to protect them or teachers from injury or death?

When I discovered Friday morning that NH Governor Chris Sununu had HB1625, the Sidewalk Free Speech Act on his desk I knew that he would veto or sign the bill that afternoon, right before the long holiday weekend hoping no one would notice. But I wasn’t going to let it pass unnoticed.

I sent out alerts and I was grateful that many called to ask him to sign the bill to repeal the buffer zone law that allows private abortion businesses to designate up to 25 feet of the sidewalk and street as no-free-speech zones.

However, in the end, the liar, who had promised when he was first running for governor to sign a bill to repeal the buffer zone law, vetoed HB1625. And he proved how corrupt he is with his veto message:

In the eight years since this law was originally enacted, we know of no instance where an individual or group has been harmed by it. As a result, I am not looking to make any changes at this time.

There are so many lies and omissions in that message.

It begs the question of who does the buffer zone law help? There are no buffer zones around abortion businesses and there have never been any buffer zones in the state.

He says “we know of no instance where an individual or group has been harmed by it” but how does he define “harmed”?

What about the harm of the liability to the State of New Hampshire? Sununu said he would veto HB1431, the Parental Rights Bill if it came to his desk because he claimed to be concerned about the liability to schools. What about the liability of the state having to defend an unconstitutional buffer zone? Any abortion business could post a buffer zone and the state would be on the hook to defend it.

In addition to the expense of defending an unconstitutional law, the state is liable for attorneys’ fees to plaintiffs that sued the state over the loss of their constitutional rights. Massachusetts had to pay $1.2 million to the plaintiffs’ attorneys in McCullen v Coakley when the Massachusetts buffer zone law was unanimously ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court.

What about the harm of a tyrannical government?  In his recent veto message for HB1131, the ban on school mask mandates, he said “One of the State’s foremost responsibilities is to know the limits of its power.” The buffer zone law allows the state to hand over control of the public sidewalks to private abortion businesses. That is a huge power grab by the state.

What about the harm to freedom of speech? Any attack on freedom of speech is an attack on everyone’s freedom of speech. Today they come for the speech of those who pray and witness and offer help outside abortion facilities. Tomorrow they will come for your freedom of speech.

Governor Sununu’s veto doesn’t help anyone and leaves the state saddled with a law that creates huge liability, is an enormous power grab by the state, and a disgusting attack on our freedom of speech, and claims there is no harm done. It’s such bald-faced lying on top of his reneging on his promise to sign the bill.

Who could ever believe anything Sununu ever says again?

Techno Fog, The Reactionary: Michael Sussmann has been acquitted The acquittal is no surprise. This is a DC jury, after all. In the Roger Stone case, for example, we documented how a juror lied to get on the panel. (That... Tom Bowler

If you have been following the REFUSAL of the majority-GOP New Hampshire House to protect schoolchildren from groomers, then you know that prior to the vote the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office issued a totally bogus “legal opinion” to provide cover for groomer-friendly GOP reps to vote against the bill.

To be clear, Attorney General Formella either lied or he is totally incompetent. This is NOT a situation where it can be argued that two reasonable lawyers could look at the issue and either support the NH-DOJ’s position or support the National Legal Foundation’s position. This was either an attempt to deliberately mislead or Formella knows nothing about the relevant area of the law and was snookered by the woke-lawyers who populate the NH-DOJ. It’s one or the other … PERIOD.

Which is not really important because in either case Formella is not fit to hold the office of Attorney General.

So my question for Speaker Sherm is … WHEN IS THE FORMELLA IMPEACHMENT?

“The woke left is composed of ugly people who want to be treated as beautiful people, bad people who want to be treated as good people, stupid people who want to be treated as smart people, and the grifters who profit from the above.”

It’s all about the Left  trying to be people they really can’t be and are unable to admit their wrongness to themselves.  Because they can’t be, their efforts are spent trying to persuade you they are what they aren’t.  And if they can’t persuade you voluntarily, they have no problem in working to change Society’s norms out from underneath you to MAKE you accept who they aren’t.

Gaslighting – making you believe that which you know to be a lie and accept 2+2=5.  Are you willing to allow them to do that to you?

And these deranged people desperate for acceptance, seeing that you have failed them, will turn to Government to force you.  Like SAU 16 Superintendent David Ryan who believes that little children have the capacity to change their sex to anything they want to – and then punishing other students who won’t accept that codswallop.

And the Grifters just smile all the way to the bank as they’re turning Wokeism into a racket – following in the footsteps of the former Black Lives Matter (“Buy Large Mansions”) and race-baiting (Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson easily come to mind – and that nitwit Professor Michael Eric Dyson thrown in for good measure)
