An Obvious Fix

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-06-19 22:00 +0000

The 2024 Presidential contest is unique in that both candidates’ records are publicly reviewable. This has rarely occurred, and never were they so diametrically different. This available data nullifies the usual campaign boasting and promising and may simplify the choice.

Such an offering, if common sense is still in play, shows that one side is such a total failure that it’s a stretch even to award a “participation trophy” when screwing up has been this damaging and dangerous!

Our political world has been in a reset mode for roughly the last ten years, mainly due to the influence of a non-career candidate who eventually refused payment for his service to our country. Say what? This rare sacrifice has been absent since President Washington. Between these bookends of patriotic integrity are the legions of bureaucrats who seek both the maintenance of power and self-betterment at any cost.

So, comparatively speaking, this division is so stark that the political bias that normally fuels all campaign seasons now centers upon name-calling and slanderous accusations, which are strengthened by this blatant, in-your-face lying, which typifies the desperation from contending against a truthful opponent.

Today’s political restructuring has been a long time in coming since one side has operated in these falsehoods, which over time have been believed in part because “that’s the way it’s always been.”

Occasionally, a truthful approach was presented but neutralized by an avalanche of distortions and false propaganda. In the early fifties, Ohio’s conservative Senator, Robert Taft, was about to be the Republican candidate until “the hero” of WWII, Eisenhower, switched parties and bested Taft in the primary. Then there was Sen. Barry Goldwater in 1964, who was hammered in the media and was falsely connected in a TV commercial depicting a little girl plucking flower petals as an atomic mushroom cloud rises in the background. This slanderous but frightful example signaled future distortions, ala, Trump will start WWIII if elected!

However, the difference between back then and 2016 was the element of surprise. The latter contest featured one side joking, even guaranteeing that Trump would “never be President.” Some were so confident, they even pleaded for him to enter the race, while considering it to be just another promotional stunt from a showman. They failed to listen or even notice that his heart rang with loving words of praise for his country! His opposition was ultimately shocked but the Country benefited greatly!

As stated, today presents a probable election certainty by undeniable comparisons. One side has proven to be beneficial, while the other has yet to promote one problem-solving initiative or simply even one worthwhile suggestion! This feat seems almost impossible when being the leader of the country he is trying to “unify” but actions speak louder than words, always have and always will!

So this is the stage on which the opponents will vie for our Presidency. We need not list the negatives versus the positives, however, maybe a deserving comment or two.

First, why the re-opening of our borders so that who knows who enters but more unsettling, who cares? From this anti-American policy, voters are left wondering just which country our President is serving! Secondly, is the prostitution of this climate hysteria at the point that the gasoline engine is such a devastating enemy that we now must buy electric vehicles! Imagine this “must buy” edict in “the land of the free!” In addition, this Presidential “uniter” has just about outlawed all of America’s oil production while continuing to close our fossil-fuel-generating plants.

No longer can lofty promises combined with slandering the opponent carry the election season to success since campaigning must tackle the impossible task of putting a mask on an ineptness that borders upon treason!

When the lies are intended to dismiss what has already been personally witnessed, the “jig is up!” What else is left? I shuttered to think, especially when talk surfaces about whether Secret Service protection is still warranted when the protected one is a convicted felon! This is a very precarious atmosphere and one that truly defines the meaning of this November.

ICYMI – Biden Had ANOTHER Brain Freeze

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-06-19 20:00 +0000

On June 15th, Woke-Communist OLIGARCHS like George Clooney and Jimmy Kimmel hosted a “fundraiser” for BidenX … attended by the billionaires that the corrupt “media” keep telling us BidenX is “fighting” for us.

And BidenX had ANOTHER BRAIN FREEZE … and had to be led off the stage LIKE A CHILD by Obama.

The Left Is As Trashy As Supermarket Tabloids

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-06-19 18:00 +0000

The Left, moderates and Radicals alike, have banded together to quickly respond and react to any statement they can elaborate on, use to their advantage, and be consistent on topic across the party as quickly as humanly possible. It does not matter if the facts are correct.

If you say something often enough, and the mainstream media covers you and substantiates your story, everyone to the left of reality will believe you.

This week, this coordinated effort to take a sound bite or quote from Donald Trump and twist and manipulate it to mean the opposite of the original. During Trump’s meetings with Republican Congressional members, he allegedly commented about Milwaukee, the host city of the upcoming Republican convention. From people in the room who heard the President firsthand, Trump was commenting on the crime problem in Milwaukee and the status of election integrity in Wisconsin. He referred to both as horrible.

Of course, many who were not in the room, politicians, celebrities, and, of course, the media, took great liberties in quoting the President, who they did not hear. Suddenly, the specific comments on two real situations became a general statement that Milwaukee was a “horrible city.” The media was in a frenzy, and Democrats seized the opportunity to pounce.

This reaction from the Left showed how quickly they could mobilize and distribute a message. Of course, they took to the air with their versions of Trump’s words, billboards went up in Milwaukee to show the residents what the Former President thought of them, t-shirts and pins were available to commemorate the moment, and nobody asked the one simple, basic question of these people; were you in the room and what did the President say.

With a President who has gone into three deep freezes in the last week, the Democrats have a candidate who embarrasses more often than enlightens, no policies that the public will embrace, and a track record that has nothing to brag about. They have no choice but to turn up the gaslighting and outright lie.

Karine Jean-Pierre held the first White House Press Briefing in three and one-half weeks. This is unconscionable at a time when we have two wars, a border still in crisis, and an election in about five months. She had to know she would field questions on Biden’s recent health issues, yet the best she could do was claim the videos were manipulated. Are you kidding? This theory is even worse than the Democrats disavowing the Hunter Biden laptop or the Biden Cartel has not raked in millions selling influence in Washington. It was disgusting and further fueled by KJP’s grossly condescending tone she used when delivering this drivel.

America deserves better than they are getting from this White House, or do they since they put this Team Biden in the White House? I am convinced that Joe Biden will not be the candidate, and the chances are better than even if there is no debate. The question is, who will the Dems pull off their weak bench to finish the game? Talk today actually hinted at Hillary warming up in the bullpen. On the same day, it was disclosed that every federal agency interacting with illegal migrants is handing out voter registration forms. The Democrat election corruption is rising to new levels, and it may be impossible to beat whichever inadequate candidate they may call upon.

Midweek Memes … But, soft! what meme through yonder window breaks?

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-06-19 16:00 +0000

It is Wednesday, and time for another memeingful encounter with … memes.

As a reminder, they are memes. Some are made up. They are not to be dissected or fact-checked. And like the corporate media, they are not to be taken seriously but enjoyed for the fantasy that they portray. And, often, some biting sarcasm.

Meanwhile, On Flag Day …

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-06-19 14:00 +0000

June 14th wass Flag Day. It commemorates the Second Continental Congress’ adoption of the American flag – the stars-and-stripes – in 1777. So how did New Hampshie’s Largest City celebrate? By raising the Gay Flag, of course.

I say “of course” because this is intentional. It is intentionally disrespectful. It is intended to send the message that we have and are “transforming” America, and there is NOTHING you can do to stop us.

Larry Hogan and Kelly Ayotte

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-06-19 12:00 +0000

Regardless of the result, I urge all Americans to respect the verdict and the legal process. At this dangerously divided moment in our history, all leaders—regardless of party—must not pour fuel on the fire with more toxic partisanship. We must reaffirm what has made this nation great: the rule of law.”

That is Larry Hogan, running for the U.S. Senate from Maryland. Apart from the nonsense that the U.S. is more “dangerously divided” than in our past (political division is not dangerous), and the nonsense that a DA or Attorney General running for the office explicitly to destroy Donald Trump and finding a state misdemeanor to morph into numerous federal felonies (three per ledger entry) has something to do with “the rule of law,” Hogan is a Sununu Republican, looking to CNN both for his facts and for approval, fighting a war on a battleground selected by his enemy, appealing to Democrats ON THEIR TERMS.

Pretty Kelly Ayotte surely hates Trump more than ever. Twenty’leven federal felonies sure beats bawdy talk between golfers, but even the latter clip, which NBC warehoused for a decade and deployed at the precise end of the 2016 campaign, got Ayotte to cap a continually disappointing term as U.S. Senator by breaking with Trump and bragging about casting a meaningless write-in vote for Mike Pence, superficially supporting the Republican Party as she was sabotaging its effort to carry New Hampshire.

We want to thank Spike for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

Ayotte will break with Trump again, when the time is right. The right time will be after we nominate her for Governor. How do we know this? Because Ayotte is the quintessential CENTRIST. A centrist scans the field, finds out what everyone else believes, and then positions herself in the center. If the left is intractable (and especially engages in rioting and looting), the centrist moves left. Because the centrist believes in nothing—certainly not what we believe in, if powerful, influential, numerous, or uncivil people believe in the opposite. This is the essence of Ayotte’s 2020 slogan, “Listening, Learning, and then Leading” that led a thousand Sure Things like me to abstain or vote third-party and exile her to the corporate boardroom.

Now she is back, with name recognition, a war chest, and a gimmick (womanhood). And a party that knows it cannot persuade loves a gimmick. Ayotte has learned her lines well; indeed, either of the Democrat candidates will do to New Hampshire what has been done to Democrat states and cities and what the leading candidate started to do to Manchester: ignore well-adjusted, well-behaving, taxpaying Granite Staters in favor of lawbreakers—notably, Joe Biden’s hordes of foreign invaders—and the misbehaving. Excuse them, subsidize them, credential them, ensure they can misbehave safely, and celebrate them.

Ah, but what will Ayotte do? What she has always done: seek the center. She will be a Joyce Craig on downers, wrecking New Hampshire more gradually.

Bridging the Gap: Optimism’s Ethereum Bridge and the Future of Cross-Chain Connectivity

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-06-19 11:00 +0000

In the rapidly evolving landscape of blockchain technology, the need for seamless interoperability between different networks has become increasingly paramount. As diverse ecosystems emerge, each with its unique strengths and capabilities, the ability to freely exchange data and assets across these siloed environments is crucial for fostering innovation and unlocking the full potential of decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.

Enter Optimism, a pioneering Layer 2 scaling solution built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. While Optimism’s primary focus lies in addressing the scalability limitations of Ethereum through its innovative Optimistic Rollup technology, the project has also developed a groundbreaking cross-chain bridge that facilitates seamless communication and value transfer between the Ethereum mainnet and Optimism’s Layer 2 environment. This Ethereum bridge represents a significant step forward in the quest for cross-chain interoperability, paving the way for a more connected and collaborative blockchain ecosystem.

The Significance of Cross-Chain Bridges

Cross-chain bridges serve as vital conduits, enabling the exchange of data and assets between different blockchain networks. These bridges establish secure channels for communication, allowing users to move their holdings, such as tokens or other digital assets, from one network to another, effectively bridging the gap between disparate ecosystems.

In the context of the Optimism project, the Ethereum bridge plays a crucial role in facilitating the movement of Ethereum-based assets, such as ERC-20 tokens, between the Ethereum mainnet and Optimism’s Layer 2 scaling solution. This interconnectivity not only enhances liquidity and capital efficiency but also unlocks new opportunities for developers to leverage the strengths of both networks simultaneously.

How Optimism Ethereum Bridge Works

Optimism’s Ethereum bridge operates through a two-step process: depositing and withdrawing. When a user wishes to transfer assets from the Ethereum mainnet to the Optimism network, they initiate a deposit transaction. This transaction locks the assets on the mainnet and generates a corresponding representation on the Optimism Layer 2 environment. This representation essentially acts as an IOU, representing the user’s claim to the locked assets on the mainnet.

Conversely, when a user needs to move assets back from Optimism to the Ethereum mainnet, they initiate a withdrawal process. During this process, the Optimism-based representation of the assets is burned, and the original assets are unlocked and returned to the user’s Ethereum mainnet address.

This seamless back-and-forth movement of assets is made possible through the use of secure messaging protocols and cryptographic techniques that ensure the integrity and validity of the transactions across both networks.

Unlocking New Possibilities with Cross-Chain Interoperability

The ability to freely move assets and data between the Ethereum mainnet and Optimism’s Layer 2 environment unlocks a myriad of new possibilities and use cases. Developers can leverage the robust security and decentralization of the Ethereum mainnet while benefiting from the scalability and cost-efficiency offered by Optimism’s Layer 2 solution.

For instance, decentralized applications (dApps) that require high throughput and low transaction fees can be deployed on Optimism, while still retaining the ability to interact with smart contracts and protocols on the Ethereum mainnet. This cross-chain connectivity opens up new avenues for innovation, enabling the creation of hybrid dApps that combine the strengths of both networks.

Moreover, cross-chain interoperability has profound implications for the burgeoning field of decentralized finance (DeFi). By enabling the free flow of assets across different blockchain networks, users can access a wider range of DeFi protocols and services, unlocking new investment opportunities and facilitating more efficient capital allocation.

Imagine a scenario where a user holds assets on the Ethereum mainnet but wishes to participate in a yield farming opportunity on Optimism’s Layer 2 environment. With the Ethereum bridge in place, the user can seamlessly transfer their assets to Optimism, participate in the yield farming protocol, and then withdraw their earnings back to the Ethereum mainnet, all without the need for centralized intermediaries or trusted third parties.

Addressing Cross-Chain Security Concerns

While cross-chain bridges offer immense potential for interoperability and collaboration, they also introduce new security challenges that must be addressed. As assets and data flow across different networks, robust safeguards must be in place to prevent malicious activities such as double-spending, theft, or other forms of exploitation.

Optimism’s Ethereum bridge employs a range of security measures to mitigate these risks. One key feature is the use of fraud proofs, which allow for the detection and prevention of invalid state transitions or malicious behavior on the Optimism network. If any fraudulent activity is detected, the bridge can be halted, and the affected assets can be recovered through a dispute resolution process.

Additionally, the Optimism team has implemented rigorous security audits and formal verification processes to ensure the integrity and correctness of the bridge’s underlying code and protocols. Ongoing research and development efforts are underway to further enhance the security and trustworthiness of cross-chain bridges, exploring advanced techniques such as zero-knowledge proofs and secure multi-party computation.

The Future of Cross-Chain Interoperability

As the blockchain industry continues to evolve and mature, the demand for cross-chain interoperability will only intensify. Optimism’s Ethereum bridge represents a significant step forward in this journey, but it is merely the beginning of a broader movement towards a more interconnected and collaborative blockchain ecosystem.

Looking ahead, we can expect to see the emergence of more sophisticated cross-chain bridge solutions, tailored to specific use cases or industry verticals. These bridges may leverage advanced cryptographic techniques, such as zk-rollups or validium approaches, to further enhance scalability, privacy, and security.

Furthermore, the concept of cross-chain interoperability extends beyond the realm of Ethereum and its Layer 2 solutions. As other blockchain networks, such as Bitcoin, Polkadot, and Cosmos, gain traction and establish their own ecosystems, the need for seamless communication and value transfer between these disparate networks will become increasingly crucial. Initiatives like the Cosmos Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol and the Polkadot ecosystem’s cross-chain messaging capabilities are paving the way for a more interconnected future.

Conclusion

Optimism’s Ethereum bridge is a pioneering solution that exemplifies the power of cross-chain interoperability. By enabling the seamless movement of assets and data between the Ethereum mainnet and Optimism’s Layer 2 environment, this innovative technology is breaking down barriers and fostering a more collaborative and interconnected blockchain ecosystem.

As the industry continues to evolve, cross-chain bridges will play a vital role in unlocking new opportunities for decentralized applications, financial services, and beyond. By facilitating the free flow of value and data across different networks, these bridges will drive innovation, promote capital efficiency, and empower developers to leverage the unique strengths of various blockchain ecosystems.

While challenges related to security and scalability remain, ongoing research and development efforts are paving the way for more advanced cross-chain solutions, ensuring that the future of blockchain technology is one of seamless interoperability and boundless possibilities.

RINO Report Card for 2024

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-06-19 10:00 +0000

The New Hampshire General Court (i.e. our legislature) has finished its work for this year (except for a veto override session in the Fall).

I have crunched the numbers – i.e. the voting records of 2024 – to determine objectively which members are RINOs – Republicans In Name Only.

The RINO Report is different from all other scorecards in that it looks at every single roll call. It is entirely mathematical and objective. There is no subjective decision making about which votes to score, or what is the correct vote for each roll call.

The correct vote for each roll call is whichever way 80% of Republicans vote. If Republicans are divided then that roll call is not scored. E.g. on vote #161, 79% of Republicans voted Yea. That did not meet the 80% threshold so was not scored.

We want to thank Spec Bowers for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

When both parties vote the same way, those roll calls are not scored. E.g. on vote #152, Republicans were practically unanimous in opposing the bill, but Democrats were also opposed, so that vote was not scored.

The RINO Report scores all votes where a super-majority (80%) of Republicans voted opposite a majority of Democrats. A RINO vote is when a Republican votes with Democrats against a super-majority of Republicans.

The House had 284 roll calls this year. There were 232 votes where 80% of Republicans voted one way and Democrats voted the other way. Each member’s RINO score is simply what percentage of those 232 votes he or she voted with Democrats against Republicans.

It should be no surprise that most Republicans most of the time vote the same way. We believe in certain principles such as individual freedom, limited government, and free enterprise. For most bills we reach the same conclusion. This year there were 20 votes where 100% of Republicans voted the same way (and Democrats voted the opposite). There were another 73 votes where only 1 or 2 Republicans voted with Democrats.

Almost every Rep at one time or another casts a vote the same as the Democrats. One example is when a Republican votes against the budget because it is too large while the Democrats vote against it because they think it is too small. Thankfully, such votes are not common.

This year there were 30 Reps who scored a perfect 0%. Looking at all Republicans, the median RINO score was 1.7%, meaning that on average they voted with Democrats only 1.7% of the time. 80% of Republicans scored lower than 4.5%; 90% scored lower than 7.2%.

There were 10 Republicans who voted more than 10% of the time against fellow Republicans. Clearly, they are out of mainstream Republicanism. Even more outside of the mainstream were 4 Republicans who voted more than 20% of the time with Democrats against Republicans. Worst as usual was Dan Wolf.

Alleged Pedophiles Grooming Children & You Can Help Us Stop It

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-06-19 02:00 +0000

I recently did an investigation into a Drag Queen performer who goes by the name Reverend Yolanda, and in this investigation, I found out that the group he was part of, the Radical Faeries, was actually a covert pedophile group.

Meet us on June 28th at 10:30 am EST in Conway, NH, at the Public Library on 15 Greenwood Ave so we can stop him from grooming children.

I was able to prove that Yolanda was part of the Radical Faeries and that the founder of the Radical Faeries, Harry Hay, a pedophile and founder of the North American Man/Boy Love Association, designed the Radical Faeries to hide pedophiles and infiltrate the Progressive Left to promote pedophilia. There are many other things that I uncovered and showed in the article, so if you haven’t read it I would suggest you give it a look through and share it with everyone you know.

Yolanda is scheduled to perform in front of children on June 28th at 10:30 am EST in Conway, NH at the Public Library on 15 Greenwood Ave. I need your help to stop this monster from harming children. I have contacted the police but they sighted that the 1st Amendment would protect him from being shut down, which is funny because last year they banned us from protesting in the public library. What happened to our 1st Amendment rights? The truth is rights don’t exist without the threat of violence and the state has a monopoly on violence. And this is why they try to take away our 2nd Amendment.

We want to thank Samara for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

Yolanda Admits to Being a Radical Faerie:

During an interview with NYCITY NewsService titled “Helping Boys and Girls Feel Comfortable” Yolanda was asked about this question, “But you knew you were not Tony?” And Yolanda responded:

Since I was a kid, I was really aware of myself. At least by fourth grade. But probably before that I knew that I was different. I was raised as a boy but I never felt like a boy. Back then we didn’t have words to describe gender identity. So I assumed I was a gay boy. That was the closest I could think I was.”

I came out in elementary school, I think I was around 10. Which, actually, now that I work in Drag Story Hour, I meet a lot of kids who know they’re trans by the age of 10. They do. So I was right on track.”

Of course it was really rough for a long time. So when we moved to a different state I decided I would start all over again and would go back in the closet. That didn’t work because I started falling in love with all these boys…I later decided to study theater and move to New York.”

Then Yolanda was asked, “So it was then when you really discovered Yolanda?” And he answered:

So at that point I got really discouraged…Then around the 1990s (1993), I met a group of people called the Radical Faeries. We were queer people that played with gender (…) I was exploring a new age of spirituality. I moved to another Radical Faerie commune in Vermont and that’s when I started calling myself Yolanda.”

Harry Hay, North American Man/Boy Love Association Spokesman:

Hay was an ardent supporter of the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), a gay organization that advocates for pedophilia, and in a 1983 article, titled “A Quest for Knowledge,” that Hay wrote for NAMBLA, he makes the parallel of the word “faeries” to his organization that he founded, the Radical Faeries:

Between thirteen and fourteen, I had begun to hear about the fact that there are men who sometimes like boys, and I want very much to know about these things. I’d heard about this from the men who worked in the fields the year before. They told me about them; they called them ‘fairies.’

Hay also explains how he become a pedophile by being molested by an adult:

I get a job on the freighter. It took two and a half days for the freighter to go from San Francisco to Los Angeles in those days, and they break at San Luis Obispo. They go in for the night to San Luis Obispo proper. I’m checking it out with the fellows because in one of the places they had some rotgut—remember, this is Prohibition—and then get all looped with the queers. I decided, I don’t want to go with the queers, but I might go out and watch the fellows go in and out and watch everything else. But the point is that I had perfect choice. I had the right to make a choice. I am fourteen; I am earning a man’s board, a man’s labor, I’m being treated as a man at fourteen, and I’m making all kinds of decisions at fourteen. But from the point of view that you are hearing, I am a child.”

Hay then tries to say that he was the molester and not the 25-year-old man:

The point is that I was perfectly capable of handling myself and knowing exactly what I wanted. But this year I knew that I wanted to find a man to tell me what I wanted to know. So, at fourteen, you realize, I’m a child molester. I’m a child, and I’m molesting an adult till I find out what I want to know. And I found him, and he was shocked. Then he discovered that, rather than being a man, as he suspected that I was from the way I looked—my callouses on my hands, and the way I handled myself, and my clothing—that I was only a fourteen-year-old kid, and if anybody found out about it he’d be in jail for life, or, at least in California twenty-three years in that period.”

It is because of this molestation that Hay bases his whole ideology and begins the demonic task of trying to normalize your children being molested so they too can become like him and so that older men like him can enjoy your children:

I’m telling you this story, and I’m saying it tonight, in memory of a man—all I can remember is that his name was Matt. And I send to all of you my love and deep affection for what you offer to the boys, in honor of this boy when he was fourteen, and when he needed to know best of all what only another gay man could show him and tell him.”

Hay then tells the world that you’re not truly a gay ally if you don’t let pedophiles rape your children:

I also would like to say at this point that it seems to me that in the gay community the people who should be running interference for NAMBLA are the parents and friends of gays. Because if the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what thirteen-, fourteen-, and fifteen-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world. And they would be welcoming this, and welcoming the opportunity for young gay kids to have the kind of experience that they would need.”

So, again, as I said, my offering is not as a member of NAMBLA, but in memory of that fourteen-year-old boy who was handled by Matt so long ago. And in memorial to Matt, I offer you my love.”

This wasn’t the first time that Hay had been molested; in fact, early on in his life, he was molested by an older man at a swimming pool. Speaking at a NAMBLA conference on Oct. 7, 1984, Hay recounted an experience from his childhood where he was molested by the gay man:

So I’m about twelve years old and I swim very well at this point—very good swimming underwater and various other things. And so I don’t go into the kids’ pool, I go in the big pool. And I had this experience probably five or six times. Some man comes up to me, wants me to see how long he can stay underwater. And it’s important for me to understand just how long he stays underwater. He’s going to go way down to the other end of the pool and he’s going to come up between my legs and he’s going to come out the other end. So he goes down to the other side, he swims through my legs, and he [does?] my cock out of my bathing suit and he caresses it a couple of times and comes out the other end. And then he is going to come back. So he comes back through again, and this time spends a little more time.”

The True Purpose of the Radical Faeries:

At a NAMBLA conference in Los Angeles on November 8th, 1986, Harry Hay explained to his fellow pedophiles that they were going to have to operate unground covertly to make sure they could continue to enjoy pedophilia:

“I find this particular situation that we’re coming into, in a way, a sort of replay of things I’ve seen before in my life, and I would suggest that it’s very possible that we are moving into a period where, as the speaker [Dan Tsang] pointed out, we may find ourselves being moved against on all fronts.  Which would suggest, then, that we’re going to have to go back to various forms of underground activity. I would say that in my life, I’ve spent more time being an outlaw than being an in-law. And consequently, I would say that I know a good deal about how you operate as an outlaw, how you operate underground, how you operate in defiance, how you operate, presumably, almost in parallel, but actually in opposition to it.”

Next Hay talks about advancing pedophilia in America by ingratiating themselves into government and the Progressives of the Left that we see today:

“One of things that I think we have to be concerned about—and here again, I think this is where we begin to see what we can do and how far we can advance ourselves—is the march on Washington that comes up next October.  I think this is a place where we have to find very imaginative ways to reach all kinds of elements of the community that we up to now haven’t thought of touching.  Not only to reach all kinds of elements of our own community, but to find the weak spots, shall we say, within the left, within the progressive forces in the hetero community who might find themselves in parallel with where we are, or in parallel with the way that we feel we are going to go, and make of them willing—or even unwilling—allies in this whole regard.  I think, as a matter of fact, we can count on the fact that we’re probably going to see far more repression on the part of the government for a while.  I don’t think we’ve peaked.  I think we’re seeing ourselves on the beginning of a rising tide.  And we’re going to have to fall back on our inventiveness and our creative imagination.”

Lastly, Hay tells the world what the Radical Faeries actually are and what they are designed to do for pedophiles:

“And here, honeys, I might say that the Radical Faeries are way ahead of you, because don’t forget that faeries can always vanish.  This is one of the things that we’re going to have to learn to do again.  We have to learn to remember that when people lean on us too hard, we just simply aren’t there anymore.  There are ways and means by which we can do that.  I do pass on to you the remark that was passed on to the revolutionaries by Maksim Gorky long ago:  He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day.”

What Would You Do to Save Your Own Children?

Yolanda is scheduled to perform in front of children on June 28th at 10:30 am EST in Conway, NH, at the Public Library on 15 Greenwood Ave. I need your help to stop this monster from harming children.

I have contacted the local police, but they cited that the First Amendment would protect him from being shut down. This is funny because last year, on June 23rd, they banned us from protesting in the public library. What happened to our First Amendment rights?

If you would like to voice your concerns to the Conway PD, here is their info:

  • Tel: (603) 356-5715
  • E-Mail: police@conwaypdnh.gov

Make sure to remind Chief Christopher J. Mattei, who is one of the police officers in the video, that it’s unconstitutional to ban protestors from a public building.

The truth is rights don’t exist without the threat of violence, and the state has a monopoly on violence. And this is why they try to take away our 2nd Amendment.

I tried reaching out to the local newspaper, the Conway Daily Sun, and the editor, Margaret McKenzie, called me transphobic and claimed that I didn’t know what journalism was. Then I reached out to their publisher, Mark Guerringue, who stated that he wouldn’t look at my article because it was nonsense, even though he hadn’t looked at it. Guerringue even went out of his way to insinuate that it was fabricated because I “hate gay people”.

If you would like to voice your concerns to the Conway Daily Sun, you can reach them with their publicly available contact info:

Mark Guerringue, publisher:

  • email, Mark@conwaydailysun.com
  • phone, 603-387-5160

Margaret McKenzie, editor:

  • email, Margaret@conwaydailysun.com
  • phone, 603-733-5801

These are the kinds of people that we are going up against. They want to convert your children and subject them to harm so that your children will grow up to loathe you. They will not stop unless we force them from society. And mark my words, the police are just as complicit in this as the pedophiles.

So please show your support by commenting down below, sharing this post and leaving a like so that our cause becomes a massive call to protect children. I cannot in good faith rest until this pedophile is cast out of society.

Use the comment section as a petition that you will be there on June 28th at 10:30 am EST in Conway, NH at the Public Library on 15 Greenwood Ave so we can stop him from grooming children. We need all the support we can get to stop this man from harming children.

Some Thoughts on Americans for Prosperity.

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-06-19 00:00 +0000

Many non-Dems* are at least somewhat familiar with Americans for Prosperity(AFP), which Ed Mosca refers to in his rightful disparaging of “Koch-bots” within the GOP.  I leave it to the readers to bring themselves up to speed on the Koch brothers and point out all their daily anti-Trump mailers sent in January before the Republican* presidential primary that Chris Ager refused to get closed to nonmembers.  Regardless of YOUR opinion of Trump, this article is for everyone who wants to defeat Dems.

I will start by giving AFP praise where it’s due.  They generously provide resources like candidate training workshops, often catered and always free.  They sponsor free parties, such as the annual Pine Tree Riot one in Weare, and host phone banking events.  The list goes on, but AFP has done some other things, in addition what I already mentioned, that should give every savvy voter some pause.  I’ll mention a few of them because it’s my opinion that they fall under the “take what you like and leave the rest” category.

I will start by pointing out that they endorsed Mr. Stephen for the executive council while there were still several days of filing time remaining, despite his lack of record as an incumbent. Despite being a nonincumbent, he still has a political record, and it’s NOT a flattering one!

Is the endorsement a preemptive strike just to be “anti-Terese?” You decide.  While you’re deciding, I’ll share my take on why Mr Stephen is a bad choice, but let’s move on.

My Senator has regularly complained about AFP over the years and usually blames them when I reprimand him for voting the wrong way.  I usually tell him that I’m unhappy because he voted the wrong way, not because AFP told me to tell him that.  A few examples were Rosenwald’s welfare dental plan in 2022 and later enshrining MassHealth, both of which were the act of a hive-minded senate with no dissenters.  While I have no committed opinion on pot bills in general, he does.  What’s interesting is that he has an almost identical voting record to the senator once seated next to him, who sadly wasn’t reelected in 2022.  And that nearly identical voting record included voting NO on pot.  Whether or not you, the reader, care about pot, you should find it interesting that AFP sent out mailers to one district telling people to tell their senator to change his mind and/or vote a certain way, but NOT in the neighboring district.  Why is that?  All 24 votes are of equal value to each other.

Two other issues in my senator’s rant about AFP were that they aren’t anti-choice enough(for him) and that they support open borders.  I don’t care about the former as much as many others do, but I do care about the latter, and my research has come up with mixed information.  Readers are encouraged to do their own digging on that one and share what they find.

There are also two primaries that have viable candidates who are not strangers to the political scene.  One of them is for governor, which everyone should already be familiar with, and I have since gone on record speaking to, but once again, don’t forget “the Trump factor” tied to both candidates, regardless of YOUR thoughts of Trump.  My points are about AFP rather than Trump.  The other primary is in Senate District 23, where Sharon Sheeple, incumbent Senator Gannon, is being primaried by freshman Rep Emily Phillips.

Both are current members of the legislature and, therefore, have voting records and don’t need to be given candidate surveys.  I would hope that AFP does the right thing and endorses Emily, but keep in mind that Senator Gannon has endorsed Kelly Ayotte and they’re both establishment people.

And then there’s the whole matter of housing and AFP’s stance on it, but let’s stick with candidates for now.  And let’s not forget the two primaries for federal office.  While I have have not done sufficient research on the other district, one unfortunate prognostication I received is they’re likely to choose Vikram over Lily Tang Williams.  I certainly hope that’s not going to happen, but we’ll see.

Aren’t we all by now tired of the establishment prioritizing protecting its power over serving the best interest of the public?  Will AFP come about and make sound endorsements for District 23, the Corner Office, and the federal offices?  Or are they going to do like they did in executive council District 4 and do the bidding of the establishment elite?

Click Your Heels Together Three Times, While Repeating “New Hampshire Advantage”

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-06-18 22:00 +0000

Kelly Ayotte has quite a future … in comedy, NOT politics. She’s telling everybody that she is going to stop the Democrat gubernatorial candidates from “massing up” New Hampshire. When New Hampshire is already “massed up” beyond repair. A short list … the public schools (and probably many private schools) teach the religion of the Left, DEI and CRT, lovely euphemisms for anti-White racism, as well as grooming children and enable abortions.

The supposedly majority GOP House on June 13th refused to ban “sanctuary cities,” and refused to expand EFAs. Look at the Democrats Woke-Communists celebrating the, to borrow a phrase, “massing up” of New Hampshire:

If you are a White-male you have to wear a suit and tie in the New Hampshire House. If you are a Woke-Communist, you can wear a two-sizes too small short-sleeves and flash your tats. It’s called hierarchy.

But bitter-clingers just keep pretending that Trump is somehow going to win a rigged election, then survive a Deep-State assassination, and then somehow single-handedly purge local government of bottom-feeders like Amanda Bouldin and Alissandra Murray.

I don’t understand the urgency to legalize weed in New Hampshire. The bitter-clingers chanting “New Hampshire advantage” and “don’t mass up New Hampshire” have to already be on far, far more powerful drugs.

Who Made Vermont Use Fossil Fuels in the First Place?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-06-18 20:00 +0000

Last week, I took Vermont Democrats to the rhetorical woodshed over a new law to charge fossil fuel companies for the cost of climate change. It was a fun ride but long-winded, so I published it on Substack.

It makes several excellent points about how stupid this greedy exercise is, but one in passing deserves more attention (emphasis added).

Millions of years ago, much of what is the modern US was underwater, absent our modern Western lifestyles. There was a lot of flooding, which makes the nonsense from the Accelerated sea level folks look silly.

We also had extreme temperatures and severe planet-changing weather events, all without fossil fuel companies to bilk or anyone voluntarily emitting the byproduct of their combustion (including the not yet existing government of the state of Vermont).

No one made anyone choose fossil fuels for anything, as George Sharpe observed on Sunday in the Albuquerque Journal about Vermont’s law and it’s joining other states to sue oil companies (in search of a budget bailout climate payday—IMO).

“…none of the plaintiffs acknowledge the benefits of fossil fuels — the underappreciated workhorse that brought us out of the dark ages. Carbon energy, which underpins our entire life as we know it, hasn’t ruined the environment but has helped preserve it.

The nastiest living conditions with the lowest life expectancy on the planet are where people have little, if any, access to energy.

Second, since Vermont and most of the other plaintiffs produce no oil or gas, exactly which companies are to blame for their emissions?

Vermont’s emissions did not occur because Exxon produces oil and gas in Texas or elsewhere, those emissions came because their citizens continue to consume the fuels that are crucial to running their lives.

Given the global nature of the accusation, the greedy will state unequivocally that it is the accumulation of emissions everywhere, but that doesn’t work for them either. If you believe climate dogma and reducing emissions are the path to salvation, you’re doing it in the wrong place. Africa, India, and China emit substantial amounts of whatever concerns you. China alone has outpaced everyone.

Fining oil companies doesn’t change that, even if Vermont’s law survives the numerous expected lawsuits. It’ll just be another payday misspent by greedy, incompetent leftists. They get a notation on that progressive resume of people who, like Greta, are whining in the West when they should be in Chongqing, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, and Guangzhou. Greta won’t because, despite all that so-called bravery – and this includes every climate cultist in Vermont – is a front. A Facade. Just like the climate agenda.

The goal is to make us more like China; otherwise, they’d be there protesting and probably in a labor camp with Uyghurs making keffiyeh for protesting US college kids.

Other Fools Errands

Claims that they (big oil, gas, coal) knew about the damage and hid it are ridiculous, if not just because the only thing hidden is that CO2 is not doing anything the greedy climatists claim. There is more than enough leaked insider correspondence to create enough doubt to make any claim in court to the contrary fail. And when did Leftists decide they’d figured it out and stopped using fossil fuels? For most, never. Why not find them? Wait – you are; clean heat standard.

But they can’t afford Vermont taxes now, and they are always going up. Every tax and spend legislature needs a sugar daddy, and today’s targets are big oil and gas.

Whether social and political pushback will produce enough years of more reasonable leadership to reverse the damage (and properly investigate the fraud) remains to be seen. Still, every storm is announced with a breeze, so we can hope.

As for Vermont, its citizens will need to come together and agree that whatever the deal may be, their current crop of “leaders” does not have their best interests at heart and are trying to paper over their incompetence by bilking some climate devil to hide this with “easy money” that is only going to cost them more in the end.

And it will all be for nothing.

Why Rank-and-File Democrats (Woke-Communists) Are So Dirty And Grimy

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-06-18 18:00 +0000

It is the restrictors. The rank-and-file “Democrats” … more accurately, Woke-commie-bots … do not have enough water pressure when they bathe. They believe that grime is a a small price for pay for supposedly saving the polar ice-caps. The ruling class Woke-commies … the George Clooneys, Jimmy Kimmel’s, etc. … get to have full water pressure. That’s how collectivism works … the collective works for the rulers, under the illusion they are working for the Sate, the common good, the blah, blah, blah.

Here is President Trump … as only President Trump can … using humor to skewer the Woke-commies. REMOVE THE RESTRICTORS!

Despotic Facebook is Marking ‘Grok Posts as Spam – Are We That Close to The Election?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-06-18 16:00 +0000

Let’s open by thanking the handful of people who have reached out to tell me that Facebook is taking down the Grok posts they share. The Platform marks them as spam and removes them for violating community standards. It is expected, and we know, but we don’t just have to take it.

The Community Standards include an obscure reference to spam links or spam on the destination page. We don’t do spam, but they might be referring to Disqus ads or some other automated advertising, which I feel is only spam when it happens alongside political opinions with which they disagree. One man’s spam is another man’s can of processed meat.

What can I say? Facebook sucks that way.

As a reminder, our “return” to Facebook was always predicated on the knowledge that we were still having our reach suppressed and that it was more an exercise for people who wanted to come to the ‘Grok Facebook Page themselves in search of content—because they happened to be on Facebook. Facebook was never going to be cordial about letting anyone see it in their feeds (and if so, only a few) or share it, and now they’ve proven the latter to be true. I’m not saying don’t share – please share! But you might have to do it differently.

What to do – Not Much We Can Do

Facebook is pulling our content, not just when you share it but directly from the Grok Facebook page. The automated AI, or whatever they are using, is pulling down posts about memes and letters to legislators with no links in them. Is this spam?

So, while we still share content there, we remind people to go directly to GraniteGrok.com and skip the despotic, free-speech-hating middleman. We are suggesting you try that instead. Share a link to the home page, which is less likely to get a takedown than a specific article. Put the article title in your remarks if you think that will get them to where you want them to go sooner.

Maybe add something like “See the Stories Facebook Keeps Taking Down.”

These takedowns will only get worse as the election nears, so we would appreciate you sharing the homepage link instead (often!)…not that Zuckerberger meister Berger’s minions (automated and human) won’t use the spam excuse to pull that post as well.

They will.

We should also remind you that since Facebook only colludes with the government, it can and will remove content for any reason at any time, and that’s their call. The collusion to suppress speech with the government is a problem for the government and the courts, not Facebook or anyone else.

Video: House Committee Hears Two Secession Bills

NHexit.US - Thu, 2024-02-29 20:47 +0000

In January 2024, there was a meeting of the New Hampshire House State-Federal Relations and Veteran Affairs committee. The committee heard two separate bills on secession.

The first one, CACR 20, would be a constitutional amendment that would see the people of NH vote to amend the constitution to say that if the federal government’s national debt reaches $40 trillion, New Hampshire shall peacefully secede from the union.
The second one, HB1130 would form a commission to study everything we would need to know about secession, such as economic impact.

This is video of the full public hearing for both bills and the people’s testimonies.

Secession Airplane Banner Flying Over Merrimack Valley Saturday

Foundation for N.H. Independence - Thu, 2023-05-25 02:34 +0000

On Wednesday morning, NHexit.US announced that local liberty activists in New Hampshire have hired a chartered airplane pilot to fly a pro-independence banner over the three largest cities in the state. Over the past few years, the calls for serious discussions on peaceful separation of New Hampshire from DC and the union have grown dramatically. New Hampshire is already home to the most influential liberty movement in the world.

Notable events since 2021 include:

  • legislation to place an independence referendum on the ballot which was sponsored by nine lawmakers in the New Hampshire House
  • a poll by SurveyUSA finding that almost 100% of NH residents strongly resent the federal government and 29% are ready to secede immediately
  • increasing demands by lawmakers and the centrist governor telling the DC tyrants to back off 
  • An abundance of pro-independence sentiment, including flags for the Granite Republic, hats, T-shirts, books, articles, and podcasts, and even a national anthem

This Saturday, an airplane banner could be added to that list. The tentative plan is for the banner to fly over Nashua, Manchester, and Concord. If you look up while in one of these cities, you just might be able to snap a photo or record a video of the banner. We encourage our readers to post their photos to social media with the tags #NHexit, #secession, and #NHpolitics. 

Additionally, the question of secession will be asked by another highly reputable pollster. The University of New Hampshire is currently conducting a political survey that includes multiple questions related to New Hampshire independence. The results could be published within days or a few weeks.

New Hampshire Survey Shows Disdain For DC, Support For Independence

Foundation for N.H. Independence - Fri, 2022-07-22 02:33 +0000

A recent poll conducted by SurveyUSA on behalf of the Foundation for New Hampshire Independence (FNHI) shows that while the peaceful separation of New Hampshire from the federal government has low support among politicians, it has significant support among registered voters.

According to an overwhelming number of respondents, the people of the United States are getting more and more divided over important issues like LGBT rights, guns, abortion, election integrity, race relations, involvement in foreign wars, climate change, immigration, and so on (91%).  Nearly as many fear that if this trend continues, it will lead to increases in political violence (89%).

Large majorities of respondents agreed that the federal government doesn’t have their best interests in mind (67%); that it violates their rights more than it protects those rights (65%); that it produces laws, regulations, and court rulings that are incompatible with New Hampshire’s culture of freedom (63%); and that its financial decisions and economic regulations hurt our livelihoods, and could lead to inflation and bankruptcy (77%).

In short, 63% of respondents feel that their state can be trusted more than the federal government.

One possible way forward would be for New Hampshire to begin ignoring federal laws and regulations regarding matters reserved to the States by the 10th Amendment. Fewer than half of respondents believe that the federal government should be able to force New Hampshire to follow federal mandates and laws regarding cannabis (27%), medicine (37%), public health (42%), education (41%), welfare (42%, firearms (42%), businesses (38%), and abortion (33%).

This approach, also referred to as ‘nullification’ is common, currently being utilized by dozens of states, and is consistent with the recent enactment of New Hampshire HB 1178, ‘prohibiting the state from enforcing any federal statute, regulation, or Presidential Executive Order that restricts or regulates the right of the people to keep and bear arms’. 

However, a more comprehensive way forward would be for New Hampshire to reclaim its sovereignty, peacefully separating from the federal government to govern itself as an independent country, an idea that was supported by 29% of respondents and 52% of Republicans. Only 58% of respondents do not support immediate and full secession from the federal government today. More than 2/5 of respondents agreed that the state should be able to do this without securing permission from the federal government (43%). And only 3% of respondents would support the use of military force by the federal government to interfere with such a separation.

Again, while politicians declined to put the question to the people, more than 2/5 of respondents support the idea of placing independence on the ballot (42%) while only 47% currently oppose it.

History is filled with proposals that seemed at first to be politically impossible, but after serious discussion and evolving circumstances, proved to be politically inevitable. To take just one example, shall-issue laws for concealed carry licenses, once viewed as extreme, are now the law in nearly every state. As the results of this poll show, peaceful separation already has more support now than shall-issue laws had in 1990. Today, not only is shall-issue the norm, but 25 states allow their residents to carry concealed guns without even requiring a permit. If New Hampshire independence follows a similar path, it may only be a few short years away from broad adoption. 

The survey also found strong support for independence and extreme discontent with DC politicians among all 8 states polled. In Texas, 90% of Republicans recently endorsed putting secession on the ballot, officially placing the position in their platform. California progressives have a strong independence movement of their own, and surveys show that around half of Californians support or are open to independence from the union. Progressives in Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington also support independence. States like South Carolina, Florida, and many other states have new independence movements that are rapidly growing, as well.

Top 100 Reasons New Hampshire Should Be Independent

Foundation for N.H. Independence - Sat, 2021-11-13 01:28 +0000

Over the past few weeks, a group of pro-freedom activists in New Hampshire has been holding informal meetings to brainstorm how to best promote independence in the next legislative session. Predictably, progressive authoritarians have already begun to attack the concepts of independence and liberty. A few conservatives cling to hope that they can fix DC and all 50 states, convince all Democrats to embrace conservative liberty values, and ‘save America’. 

 

I have written dozens of articles, published three books, and produced hundreds of videos making the case for a national divorce from the authoritarians. Here are just 100 reasons why every New Hampshire citizen who supports freedom should support a bill and a ballot referendum on independence from DC. 

 

  1. Without the federal income tax, we’d each save around $25,000/year right off the bat.
  2. The IRS is corrupt, tyrannical, and about to grow by 80,000 employees and billions of dollars. Years ago, they were caught targeting conservatives. Now, they are surely much more polarized and hateful against us. I could live without them.
  3. The ATF is extremely anti-gun. They have been one of the biggest reasons that federal gun control laws have grown increasingly strict. The ATF passes laws and bypasses Congress. Once the murderous criminal, Dave Chipman is confirmed as the new ATF director, things will get much worse. I could live without the ATF. Once we divorce DC by declaring independence from the union, the ATF will no longer have jurisdiction over us. 
  4. The CDC is out of control, and the agency will only ever grow more tyrannical. This was before corona-fascism made the CDC into the most harmful agency to liberty of all 400 illegal executive agencies. By the way, did you know that the CDC took legal ownership over every rental property in the united states?
  5. I don’t trust Joe Biden to run my life or to do anything that could impact me. I have around 28 trillion reasons for distrusting that corrupt, evil, demented sociopath. 
  6. I don’t trust Congress to run my life. They have proven time and again that they support authoritarian socialism. Even with majorities in the House and the Senate and even with Trump in the White House, Congress did nearly nothing to expand liberty. But they did pass many laws that violated my natural rights. 
  7. The federal government benefits from terribly untrustworthy elections, such as the one in 2020. Once HR1 passes into law, all elections in the united states will be required to abide by the same insane rules that caused us all to doubt the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
  8. Once HR51 passes into law, DC will be a state, complete with two more hardcore socialist Senators. The Democrats will control the Senate forever.
  9. If you aren’t a big fan of sobriety checkpoints, you’ll be happy to learn that they are federally funded. Once we divorce the feds, it’s unlikely that any local police dept. will spend the money on the checkpoints. 
  10. If you aren’t a big fan of immigration checkpoints, you’ll be happy to learn that they are federally funded and/or conducted. Once we divorce the feds, it’s unlikely that any local police dept. will spend the money on the checkpoints. 
  11.  Local cops only use tanks, drones, BEARcats, and other aggressive military gear against us because the feds give them those toys. Once we cut ties with DC, our local cops will return to their proper role as peace officers instead of acting as soldiers against us.
  12. One of the reasons that Dictator Sununu locked us down and derailed our economy involved pressure and money from DC encouraging him to do so. 
  13. If you don’t like being forced to pay for the DC politicians to wage futile endless wars in dozens of countries all over the world while veterans, women, and babies in our own communities starve on the streets, it means you want to separate from DC. 
  14. If you are ready to give up on the war on drugs and stop sending cops to homes to punish people for consuming a plant, separating from DC is the first step you must take. DC politicians STILL consider cannabis a schedule one top-tier dangerous substance that is 100% illegal to possess. 
  15. Do you love it when cops steal your property (car, house, money, guns, etc.) without convicting you of a crime? Well, federal law allows law enforcement to seize any property that could be involved in a past, present, or even future crime. And the feds have ‘extended’ that authority to state and local cops. Once we sever ties with DC, cops in NH lose the power of civil asset forfeiture.
  16. If you ever wondered why bad cops almost never receive any punishment, you should know that ‘qualified immunity’ is a federal doctrine. Without DC, local cops become much more accountable to their neighbors.
  17. The millions of federal regulations cost businesses over 2 trillion dollars each year in lost productivity. Once we divorce DC, our businesses will truly be able to unleash their creativity, making New Hampshire more prosperous than we could ever imagine.
  18. Who should decide whether NH accepts illegal aliens or Afghan refugees? Biden and Pelosi or our governor and legislature?
  19. Are you tired of being ruled by nine lawyers in long black robes who live in DC and have the power of Gods? If five out of the nine rule a certain way, that becomes the law for all 330,000,000 people in the united states.  
  20. The federal reserve and DC politicians have overseen a decline in 99% of the US dollar’s purchasing power over the past century.
  21. DC politicians have run up a debt of 28 trillion dollars and counting. And they claim that you and I are responsible for it. 
  22. Nearly every politician has ambitions and eventually wishes to be sent to DC. This affects nearly every decision they make. Once DC is no longer in their minds, they will focus on what is most important: you.
  23. Federal law enforcement (including the FBI) have shown themselves to be thoroughly corrupt. Even conservative commentators like Dan Bongino have called for their abolition. A few months ago, the FBI and other federal cops came to New Hampshire and violently kidnapped six of my friends. They are charging them with crimes that could result in them spending the remainder of their lives in federal prison. Their excuse? That my friends committed some victimless crimes by using and selling cryptocurrency. Once we leave DC, that will never happen again. 
  24. Want a suppressor so that you can save your hearing? They are only illegal because the feds prohibit them. Without the feds, NH would be totally free, and you could put a suppressor on your SBR without any worries. 
  25. Are you worried about increasingly strict EPA restrictions on vehicles, houses, and everything else? Once we divorce DC, they will have no jurisdiction over us.
  26. Are you sick of random federal judges issuing injunctions that overrule actual laws passed by Congress or state legislatures? An independent NH would not have to worry one bit about federal judges.
  27. The DC politicians are destroying the once-mighty American military. Their current secretary of defense and commander-in-chief continually insist that the #1 priority for their military is pleasing LGBT individuals. An independent New Hampshire could have a military with a top priority of defending us against hostile militaries. As it should be.
  28. Have you accumulated a respectable net worth? Soon, the federal government will tax your net worth each year in addition to all of the other taxes. 
  29. The US Congress literally does not represent you or me.
  30. The federal government hates you. Especially if you are white. 
  31. Multiple federal court rulings have declared that the first amendment does not protect any speech that is insulting, especially towards a government agent. 
  32. Right now, even policies that you think are set by state lawmakers are really controlled by the feds via extortion. 
  33. If the thought of Pelosi’s Capitol Police Force growing worries you …. You might support NH independence from DC. 
  34. If you would rather have your highway taxes spent on highways … You might be a NHexiter.
  35. Do you think that Facebook and Twitter are too powerful and too damaging to liberty? Federal law grants them effective immunity from lawsuits while also granting them the power to manipulate content. They get to act as both a publisher and a platform, whichever suits them at the moment. 
  36. If you support sound, free-market money like gold and silver (and crypto) ….You already support NHexit. It’s only a matter of time before the feds ban them.
  37. If you are afraid that Donald Trump might become President again …. You just might be a NHexiter.
  38. If you are afraid that Kamala Harris might become President…. You just might be a NHexiter.
  39. If you think that Title IX is a major reason that free speech and due process in colleges were destroyed, you support NHexit.
  40. If you believe that boys should not have a free pass to the girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers, you support NH independence. 
  41. If you can’t count the billions of federal laws….you might support independence.
  42. The FDA hurts and kills patients by stifling innovation and preventing people from using medications until the FDA spends decades of time and billions of dollars approving them.
  43. Cutting ties with DC would immediately and drastically cut prices and improve the availability of drugs like epinephrine, insulin, loperamide, and many others. 
  44. DC politicians use the federal department of education to brainwash your children to hate freedom. Once we are independent, that goes away.
  45. The federal government believes that showing online ads to specific cohorts is a crime.
  46. If you are not comfortable with the REAL ID becoming a dystopian federal identification card, you might be an NHexit supporter.  
  47. Support in Congress for a magazine ban is getting very close to a majority. In a few years, your magazines will be federally illegal. 
  48. Once HR127 passes Congress, every firearm will be effectively illegal. Hope you’re ready to turn in your guns to the feds! You are a patriot and not a criminal, so you’d never violate federal law, right? 
  49. It is very likely that Congress (or federal regulators) ban armor plates for all civilians very soon. Hope you’re ready to turn in your plates!
  50. Even the best ‘conservatives’ in DC are working with Bloomberg to take away your guns.
  51. Technically speaking…the federal government should not exist anymore. 
  52. Federal judges have ruled that police have no legal obligation to protect you. 
  53. The federal government thinks it can take your property by force, as long as it plans to use the property for anything that could benefit the government, including giving your property to companies like Pfizer. Without DC, states and localities have no power of eminent domain (AKA theft of property).
  54. Federal politicians from Biden to McConnell and everyone in between consistently sell us out to oligarchs like Putin and Xi to enrich themselves. 
  55. We can’t take power back from Congress, even with a Convention of States.
  56. The DC politicians incentivize single motherhood and discourage employment. 
  57. If you don’t believe that global warming is the biggest threat to our lives, you should not be in the same union as DC, the federal government, and the other states. 
  58. If you don’t appreciate being spied on by the NSA and other creepy DC agents and politicians, you should consider divorcing them. 
  59. If you don’t want to support the Taliban by providing them with money and military weapons and helicopters, you should leave the union and stop paying federal taxes. 
  60. The federal government considers people guilty until proven innocent – the opposite of how it was supposed to be. Peaceful protesters have been receiving punishments in prison for months despite never being convicted. If you support due process, you support NHexit.
  61. The federal TSA regularly violates our natural rights, despite literally missing 95% of actual threats. 
  62. DC politicians maintain a horrifically managed ‘no-fly list’, which mistakenly puts many people (including babies) onto the list, preventing them from flying. It’s also nearly impossible to get off of the list. 
  63. Conservatives from Candace Owens to Matt Walsh have spoken in support of state independence from DC. 
  64. Federal government leaders believe that if you don’t wear all the masks they recommend and if you don’t get all of the vaccines they recommend, you are just like the Taliban suicide bombers. 
  65. DC politicians prohibit beneficial pipelines that would have been amazing for our national security and economy while simultaneously supporting pipelines for nations that are hostile to us. 
  66. Who is arming the violent Mexican drug cartels? Federal agents from DC!
  67. The federal government has kidnapped innocent Japanese people and put them in concentration camps. New Hampshire has never done that. And they couldn’t ever do that. Because we all have lots of guns. 
  68. The US government banned firearms and ammunition from Russia. New Hampshire would never do that.
  69. The US government puts many kids in cages at the border. New Hampshire would handle immigration in a much more sensible and humane way. 
  70. Things will literally never change for the better. Even with Trump in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress and the SCOTUS, freedom only diminished and tyranny continued to grow.
  71. New Hampshire citizens are the hardest workers and earn the most money, which is demonstrated by our continent-leading median household income. We don’t need DC politicians to be wealthy.
  72. New Hampshire is the freest state. Nearly all of our issues are caused by federal laws. Once we are independent, we will be almost 100% free to live as we please!
  73. New Hampshire is the safest state. We don’t need DC or other states bringing violence to our peaceful paradise. 
  74. Half of the people in the united states believe that Biden was legitimately elected and that Republicans are all traitors, while the other half believes that Biden lost the election and progressives are traitors. How could one country be united if its people hate each other so much? 
  75. The DC politicians now feel so entitled to infinite power that they essentially ban medications that could help treat COVID, such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. 
  76. DC politicians are so arrogant that they no longer feel the need to pass legislation in Congress; they now use executive orders to pass new laws, including the most recent one forcing all private companies in the united states with over 100 employees to vaccinate their employees or test them for COVID weekly. This will affect 80 million employees. If you don’t want DC sociopaths coming between you and your employer (or you and your doctor), you support independence. 
  77. When conservative states began having success treating COVID with monoclonal antibodies Biden and DC politicians began to BLOCK the life-saving treatments from getting to pro-freedom anti-Biden states like Alabama and Florida, potentially causing people to die.
  78. DC politicians have made it clear that they will continue to prioritize foreign nationals and illegal immigrants over American citizens like you and me.
  79. On the other hand, DC politicians have made it very clear that Cuban immigrants are not welcome here (because they tend to vote for freedom and against communism). 
  80. The Biden IRS is now going to monitor every bank account with over $600 in it so that they can tax all people who make any money in any way. Those who receive more than $600 in PayPal transactions in a year will also be subject to taxation, according to experts. Peaceful separation solves this IRS issue because the IRS would no longer have any jurisdiction over us. 
  81. When NH adopted federal food laws, it made selling mushrooms illegal, among many other prohibitions. Now, the only way to make it legal for anyone in NH to sell mushrooms is to create more regulation requiring ‘licenses’, which is somewhat counterproductive. The only other way to make mushrooms legal in NH would be to sever ties with DC. 
  82. Dictator Biden nominated an actual Soviet communist to be the comptroller of the currency. If you don’t want your country’s financial system to be run by an avowed communist, you support separation from DC.  
  83. On 10/8/21, the preliminary deal on a GLOBAL tax on businesses was officially agreed to. A total of 136 countries have signed onto the measure, guaranteeing that they will work together to stomp out businesses seeking to evade taxes by implementing at least a 15% tax on them, no matter where they come from. Once New Hampshire becomes a self-governing state, its low (or absent) tax on business could attract so much business to the state that it could cause the biggest economic boom in world history. 
  84. Dictator Biden’s OSHA implemented a vaccine mandate for nearly every worker in the united states. It is extremely unlikely that an individual could beat this in federal courts or via federal legislation. Separating from the union is actually the more practical way to nullify this mandate. 
  85. A federal law to require all new cars to have passive drunk-driving monitoring technology is about to go into effect, making all cars in the united states more expensive and much more intrusive. The law does not specify, but the new technology may be tantamount to perpetual breathalyzers and/or eye monitoring in every car. 
  86. The medical system and all medical institutions in the united states are becoming increasingly racist towards whites, and it all starts with DC politicians. 
  87. The Supreme Court is composed of 9 judges. The SCOTUS is perhaps the most powerful entity in the united states now. These nine judges are either evil or mentally retarded. They certainly do not believe in freedom. Is that who you want to be ruled by?
  88. The US House of Representatives passed legislation that would take over control of elections, taking the power that always resided with the states and granting it to DC politicians. Among the many measures in the legislative package was a law that prohibited any election in the united states from requiring ID in order to vote. New Hampshire citizens who would like to retain their voter ID law must either support secession or give up voter ID forever once this federal law passes. 
  89. DC politicians just passed a law mandating that all vehicles made after 2026 be equipped with perpetual monitoring systems to detect ‘impaired driving’. The vehicles must also have ‘kill switches’ that allow cops to turn them off at any moment. If you don’t like this policy, secession is the only solution. 
  90. In the summer of 2022, federal government will begin to require facial recognition/uploading pictures of your face in order to access tax/ documents on the IRS website.
  91. The President announced that the next US Supreme Court Judge he nominates will be a black woman. Upon joining the court, she will likely hear a massively important case involving ‘affirmative action’.
  92. DC politicians are literally stealing our organs. In 2021, a policy change at UNOS essentially caused nearly all organs from donors in New Hampshire to be sent to NYC, CT, and MA, harming New Hampshire’s patients who desperately need organs to live. DC is viciously fighting NH legislation that would allow Granite Staters to state their preference that their neighbors be granted priority over foreigners if they pass away with viable organs. 
  93. The brilliant experts in DC are using $30,000,000 in taxpayer funds to give out drug paraphernalia, including crack pipes, to drug users. The statement from the DC politicians specifically mentioned that they are being distributed primarily to minorities and that they are to be used for illegal drugs. 
  94. Our Lords in DC believe that they must force New Hampshire to build more housing projects so that our state could look more like the Bronx.  
  95. Our brilliant Lords in DC are destroying our savings and devaluing our salaries by printing so much money that annual inflation is now at a frightening 9.1% annual rate.
  96. DC politicians have been forcing you and me to pay for dangerous bioweapons labs in Ukraine for years. 
  97. Your federal tax dollars are being used to pay Tik Tok influencers to create and promote propaganda approved by Dictator Biden. If you don’t want to be forced to fund such endeavors, you may want to consider secession. 
  98. If you don’t enjoy paying $6 billion for the annual NIAID budget doled out by Anthony Fauci to fund foreign bioweapons labs and development and approval of ludicrously expensive patented pharmaceuticals and suppress use of cheap off-patent drug, you should consider supporting a vote of NH residents to leave the union.
  99. The federal government violates free speech in numerous ways. Leaving their jurisdiction solves these issues and restores freedom of speech, expression, press, association, and worship. 
  100. The federal government is increasingly racist. Most recently, Dictator Biden nominated a black woman to be a judge on the highest court because of her gender and skin color. Ironically, she will likely soon be ruling on an affirmative action case.
