If you visit the Lasker Foundation’s website and click  “About Us.”  this is what you will find:

Our Mission

To improve health by accelerating support for medical research through recognition of research excellence, advocacy, and education.

What We Do

We celebrate the contributions of scientists, clinicians, and public servants who have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of human disease. Our programs educate the public and promote scientific collaboration, and we advocate for a healthier world through medical research.

The Legacy of Albert and Mary Lasker

Mary Woodard Lasker (1901–1994) was a champion of medical research. She and her husband, pioneer advertising executive Albert Davis Lasker (1880–1952), established a legacy of advocacy and philanthropy in support of science and health.

Mary Lasker was one of the country’s best known and most effective activists in the cause of increased public funding for medical research. For decades, she tirelessly persuaded the American public that the national investment in medical research would yield invaluable benefits for human health. Her simple warning was, “If you think research is expensive, try disease!” Mrs. Lasker’s early efforts focused on developing public support to advance research on cancer. She founded the Citizens Committee for the Conquest of Cancer and took her cause to Congress and the American public as a leading proponent of the National Cancer Act, which was signed by President Nixon in 1971. Her ardent advocacy for greater government funding of all the medical sciences contributed to increased appropriations for the National Institutes of Health as well as the creation of several NIH institutes.

Mary Lasker’s work transformed the medical research enterprise, which earned her the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. As a permanent monument to her efforts, in 1984 Congress named the Mary Woodard Lasker Center for Health Research and Education at the National Institutes of Health.

But what you won’t find on the website  is the fact that Albert Lasker was the main financial backer of the infamous and racist “Negro Project.”  He donated at least $20,000 (worth approximately $1/2 million today.)  The Negro Project was the brainchild of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood.  The goal of the Negro Project was to promote birth control  among Blacks.  The project set up birth control clinics mainly in the South.  Here is a transcribed  letter from  Sanger to Dr. Clarence Gamble IN 1939 mentioning Lasker’s role in the project:

 

Casa de Adobe Catilina Foothills Tucson, Arizona
November 26, 1939
Dr. Clarence Gamble
255 Adams St.
Milton, Mass

Dear Dr. Gamble:

It is good to know that you are better again and now we must all see that your ulcers must never again be worried. Miss Rose sent me a copy of the letter that Dr. Morris wrote to Mr. Lasker. I know a copy was sent to you. I am rather distressed the way the project is about to be handled, yet I believe there is nothing much I can do about it. None of my suggestions seem to get to first base these days and so the best thing to do is not to send them on, but I feel very sad over the lack of vision with which this Negro project is to be handled. Both Mrs. Rinehart and I put in a lot of thought on this and there is no doubt that if the first thousand dollars is wisely expended, we can depend upon a generous contribution for the future. I object strenuously to putting all of our eggs in one basket; in other words, to take either North or South Carolina as the nucleus. What I wish to see is the employment of an up and doing modern minister, colored, and an up and doing colored medical man, both to come to New York and train at the Clinic and at the Federation. Until they are oozing with birth control as well as population…. They should then be sent out to cover the South and as many cities and organizations and churches and medical societies as they can get before to preach and preach and preach! That should be the job for them both for at least six months. On a second round as a checkup, they would soon find what impression was made and after one year of education agitation among the colored people, we could then support a practical campaign for supplying the mothers with contraceptives….”

Naturally, one would ask why North and South Carolina does not already give such information and supplies to their colored people, and while I have great respect for Dr. Cooper, Norton, Sibilis – I do not believe that this project should be directed or run by white medical men. The Federation should direct it with the guidance and assistance of the colored group – perhaps, particularly, and specifically formed for the purpose. I hope these few words will not cause you to worry but doubtless you have become philosophical and feel that those on the job at 501 had best run the show.

Ever my best regards.

Albert Lasker, Negro Project Funder

Sanger’s racist roots have been well established from her own writing to her association with Nazis and Klansmen, although she appeared to prefer the company of communists.

In her December 10, 1939, letter to Gamble, Sanger wrote:

“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Sanger’s contemporary apologists explain that her critics misinterpret her meaning. But her earlier words belie that contention. For example, in her book The Pivot of Civilization, she advocated for the “elimination of human weeds” and for the sterilization of “genetically inferior races.” The fact that she enlisted the likes of white supremacist Lothrop Stoddard and Dr. Ernest Rudin, the man in charge of Nazi Germany’s forced sterilization program, doesn’t help the case of her apologists.

The “Mrs. Rinehart” mentioned in the letter was none other than  Mary Lasker.  Mary was married to art dealer Paul Reinhardt prior to her marriage to Lasker.  Mary was a close friend of Sanger who in 1938 became the president of Sanger’s Birth Control Federation  of America renamed Planned Parenthood Federation.

Mary Lasker giving Lyndon Johnson the 1966 Lasker Award. Johnson, along with M.L. King, received the 1st Annual Margaret Sanger Award that same year.

I discovered this information while researching the correspondence between Sanger and   Dr. Clarence Gamble housed at the  Harvard Medical School Library.  I published the letters in the book The Racist Roots of Planned Parenthood and its Legacy of Death, which can be ordered here:  The Racist Roots of Planned Parenthood and Its Legacy of Death | campconstitution.net   or a free PDF here:  https://campconstitution.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Racist-roots-of-planned-parenthood-proof.pdf

Prior to the book’s publication, I reached out to the Lasker Foundation to see if they had a statement on the racist and white supremacist roots of its founders.  They never replied.  I have reached out a few times since with the same results.  Ironically, Gamble’s organization Pathfinder at least acknowledges its founder’s racist roots, not that it forced its leadership to end its founder’s vision-controlling the births of non-whites.  Even Planned Parenthood has felt the heat.  Due to exposure to Sanger’s racism, it discontinued its Margret Sanger Award in 2015 and even renamed one of its abortion mills.

Will the Lasker Foundation acknowledge the racist roots of its founders?  That is all up to the readers, especially those in the media.  I  recommend that readers of this article contact the Lasker Foundation and perhaps sent them a link to this article and ask when they will come clean and denounce its racist roots.  The Lasker Foundation’s contact info:

The post Why Does The Lasker Foundation Refuse to Acknowledge Its Founders’ Racist Roots? appeared first on Granite Grok.

An interesting question even as we wrap this series up with Part 3. Why DO activists do what they do – especially those whose “voluntary careers” span years, if not decades?

It’s sometimes a thankless and vilified “job,” especially if you are ruffling the feathers of those who wish to be left alone in the dusty and dim corners of Government. In fact, it was GraniteGrok’s early mantra that said, “We bring Big Flashlights” to those Dark Corners (too bad that the other ‘Grok founder decided to move towards those corners, but flipping is oft seen – it is easy to get coerced by Power, influence, and money).

And that’s what Ken and Tom, via the Government Integrity Project, have been doing, with elections and voting being a forte of theirs (oh, and investigating budgetary sleight of hand).

You can tell that they enjoy it – sometimes, immensely. However, one should never take their jocular manner to mean that they shy away from a fight that must be done. Those smiles are still there, but the meaning behind those smiles changes radically if you catch my drift.

Anyways, the final install of this series – Part 3:

!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u359331"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");

Rumble("play", {"video":"v4u4tle","div":"rumble_v4u4tle"});

Perhaps I should do this more often with other activists.  If you think so, throw out some names in the Comment section!

Let’s assume this is true, and widely replicable.  What next?  Will we see this fought tooth and nail by the autism industrial complex?  Because there’s a lot of coin being made here.  The vaccines that cause autism (five years ago I’d never would have said that).  The enormous medical / counselor / training / etc. complex that’s grown out of it.  Are there meds for autism?  I’m sure there are.

 

 

 

 

I see people on LinkedIn praising the Dow for getting to 40k.  Inflation, not value creation.  But that never occurs to them.

When – WHEN – the inevitable crash comes… when – WHEN – the Jabpocalypse starts catching their friends and loved ones… when – WHEN – the coming food shortages hit… WWIII… and so on… they’ll be utterly blindsided.

And note something very dangerous.  All of a sudden it’ll hit them that we, the “unwashed”, the “foil hat wearers”, the Deplorables – we were RIGHT.  Right on the Jabs, right on the Globalists, right on mass migration, etc.  Remember, they’ve built up their personalities around the fact that they are the superior intellects.  Greater intelligence, more educated, more noble, etc.  IMHO this dissonance will drive many mad, and they’ll lash out.  Head on a swivel.

Sowell’s sage words on this:

 

 

 

 

The DS takes care of its own.

 

 

 

 

 

Saw a great burn: “You’re so stupid I’m surprised your heart remembers to beat”!

 

 

You cannot “coexist” with someone who wants you destroyed.

 

 

 

This is not about Israel.  This is HOUSE OF ISLAM vs the HOUSE OF WAR.  Something that predates Israel’s current incarnation, something that predates the United States.

 

 

The only questions for me are WHEN DO THE SLEEPER CELLS AWAKEN? and HOW MUCH DAMAGE WILL THEY DO?  My bet is they’ll target the grid; effective, relatively vulnerable and easy to target, and the cities without power will quickly dissolve into chaos.

 

 

 

 

 

ENVY is a very corrosive force on society.  Now, in small doses, it can inspire someone to work harder.  But as a raw emotion, it is entirely destructive.

 

 

 

IMHO our Founding Fathers are watching Liberty slip away and wondering “Why did we go through the trouble”?

 

 

 

And not only do those illegals vote D when they can, those profits get laundered back to the D politicians.  So essentially, this is Democrats using tax money, laundered, to fuel their campaigns and fatten their wallets.  (Though honestly, Republicans do this too.)

 

 

My older kid will, soon I think, enter the workforce.  They already say TAXATION IS THEFT!  Can’t wait to see their reaction when they see the taxes taken out of their first paycheck. 

 

 

 

Ignorance is bliss is a saying for  a reason.

 

 

 

 

 

That’s actually another good burn.

 

 

It’s not just true that’s important.  It’s the fact that an Arab is saying it.  I hope it’s sincere and not taqiyya.

From here:

Is this why FBI agents resisted performing a RAID and instead proposed to Merrick Garland that they should simply ask Trump’s PERMISSION to search his property?

Enough With These Dangerous Calculations ⋆ Brownstone Institute

Many hundreds of years ago and following, the Western mind decided that giving such power to elites was not a good idea. The “continuing calculation” about what costs and benefits are experienced by billions of people from compulsory impositions is not something we should risk, not even with AI (which Barry says will solve the problems next time). Instead, we generally decided that a presumption of freedom is a better idea than empowering a small elite of scientists with the power to make “continuing calculations” for our supposed benefit.

Operation Oust Joe Biden is Very Real- Democrats are Setting Him Up for Failure! | The Gateway Pundit | by Grant Stinchfield

It’s just been proven that the Dominion voting machines have chips inside not only MADE in China but TESTED in China.  That alone disqualifies them for use in American elections:

N adds:  Read the above about made in China, then read this (bolding and underlining added):

We chose an American military chip that is highly secure with sophisticated encryption standard, manufactured in China. Our aim was to perform advanced code breaking and to see if there were any unexpected features on the chip. We scanned the silicon chip in an affordable time and found a previously unknown backdoor inserted by the manufacturer. This backdoor has a key, which we were able to extract. If you use this key you can disable the chip or reprogram it at will, even if locked by the user with their own key. This particular chip is prevalent in many systems from weapons, nuclear power plants to public transport. In other words, this backdoor access could be turned into an advanced Stuxnet weapon to attack potentially millions of systems. The scale and range of possible attacks has huge implications for National Security and public infrastructure.

Got that?  A backdoor installed by the manufacturer that allows access even if the chip is supposedly locking the system.  More election-related:

Lenin said something along the lines of … Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world. While the GOP has spent decades bloviating bromides about free markets, free trade, limited government, peace through strength, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah … the Woke-Communists (f/k/a Democrats) have been doing. I’ll say it agin for you bitter-clingers … the Right talks; the Left acts.

The Left controls every major institution in America … Big Tech, Hollywood, Sports, Public Education, Media, etc., etc, etc… The Woke-Communists through their control of these institutions, especially public education and “higher” education, have indoctrinated generations of Americans. The Right, in contrast, persists in gaslighting us that EFAs (or vouchers, or school-choice or whatever name you prefer) are going to create “competition” that will force the public schools to improve. It’s such BULLSH*T.

So here is the result of the Right’s failure to engage in the culture war the Woke-Communists have been engaging in since they “lost” the Cold War. A SUPER-MAJORITY of the youngest voting-bloc … the future of America … are Woke-Communists:

Del Mar Energy’s history began at the start of the 21st century, with the company focusing on traditional methods of oil and gas extraction. However, starting in 2011, when the company transitioned to the fountain method of gas extraction, it became clear that Del Mar Energy was committed to implementing advanced technologies and improving the efficiency of its operations. This transition not only increased production volumes but also reduced the negative impact on the environment.

A significant milestone in the company’s history came in 2015 when Del Mar Energy received its first government contract for oil export to Europe and began developing deposits in that region. This contract not only opened new markets for the company but also confirmed its status as a reliable partner in the global energy market.

In 2017, Del Mar Energy changed its financial structure, moving to a private financing system with a daily payout model. This innovation allowed the company to ensure stable project financing and flexibility in managing financial resources, contributing to further growth and strengthening its market position.

One of the company’s most notable achievements came in 2019 when Del Mar Energy won its first tender worth over $100 million. This success confirmed the high level of trust in the company and its ability to execute large and complex projects.

However, the most pivotal year in Del Mar Energy’s recent history was 2021. In this year, the company achieved two major successes that demonstrate its commitment to innovation and expanding its activities beyond the energy sector. Early in the year, Del Mar Energy won a tender for the construction of a highway in France. This project not only opened new opportunities for the company in the field of infrastructure construction but also strengthened its international reputation.

Moreover, in 2021, the company treated its solar panels with a special coating that makes them impact-resistant. This innovation represents a significant step forward in the field of renewable energy, ensuring the durability and resistance of solar panels to adverse weather conditions and physical damage. This not only extends the lifespan of the panels but also reduces maintenance and replacement costs.

These achievements are evidence that Del Mar Energy is not afraid to venture beyond the conventional and is committed to sustainable development. The company continues to actively invest in new technologies and expand its horizons, enabling it to stay at the forefront of the global market.

Today, Del Mar Energy is a powerful holding that successfully combines traditional extraction methods with innovative approaches and sustainable development. As a leader in the energy sector, the company is confidently moving toward new heights, affirming its reputation as a reliable and innovative partner on the global stage. Del Mar Energy’s success story inspires other companies to reach new heights in their industries, demonstrating that innovation and sustainable development are key factors for long-term success.

Kelly Ayotte’s waning years in the US Senate did not heap glory on the Republican Party unless you mean John McCain’s version of it. That is not meant to be flattery. McCain’s ‘final days’ included spreading the debunked Clinton Campaign opposition research to the media to undermine the elected president (which the IG confirmed).

After McCain’s death, a reader wrote and asked, “Why in the hell haven’t you guys posted even ONE story about the passing of the great American hero, John McCain?!?!?!” (Punctation in original.) 

Hey, he asked.

I bear no ill will upon the dead nor his family. I pray for his soul, and my heart goes out to his friends and colleagues. People who knew him loved him and will miss him.

But whatever John McCain was in his younger life, his older self worked to destroy the very thing for which we assume he joined the military. That thing for which he is so often remembered.

His thinking it was the right thing to do does not make it so.

I appreciate his service to the country, but I do not appreciate many of the things he tried to do the country after that. I opposed them as a matter of principle, and I still do.

Kelly Ayotte ended up in McCain’s orbit, ruining what started as a promising career in the US Senate. Her first two years were fairly decent. Then it all went downhill. I feel confident she was predisposed to catching the Georgetown flu, which was inevitable (she was not our first choice). Had she stayed, she would have been more like Susan Collins than Rand Paul. And yeah, Collins was a deciding vote on at least one Trump Supreme Court Nominee, but what’s so great about having two of those RINO wildcards in the deck?

DC is filled with Rasputin’s, and spinless and unprincipled RINOs are easily swayed.

I can’t say Ayotte would be any better as governor. She’s the chosen replacement for Sununu, which is a bad sign. She has a lot of history in the Concord swamp as John Lynche’s AG and in the DC swamp on corporate boards. She knows where bodies are buried—she’s one of them, not one of us. I’m not saying she’s not better than any Democrat, but your nose gets sore from having to hold every election.

And I am amused by her campaign tagline about not massing up New Hampshire.

GraniteGrok ran a set of branded gear with an identical sentiment during the 2022 campaign year. There was no ‘Kelly Ayotte’ running for anything in that one. Given how we used the term a few years before she adopted it, I wonder if any of her supporters would be offended by that.

We had T-shirts, coffee mugs, barware, stickers, and even a lady’s tank top.

I discontinued it due to a lack of interest, but Team Ayotte has adopted something similar, and I must admit I agree. Don’t Mass Up New Hampshire. But we’ve all been fighting that fight for a long while, so what exactly does she mean by that?

It is one thing to distance yourself from a set of ideas (an opponent or, in this case, the Bay State), but it is another to promise never to set foot on the same road that got them there. And, if the tagline is genuine, don’t you have to look at where we are after the Sununu era and say we need to reverse these things because they are stepping stones to Massing up New Hampshire?

We’ve got plenty of those, and I do not think Ayotte intends to backtrack on any of them.

Maybe she should change it to “Don’t Mass Up New Hampshire More Than It Is.”

As the session winds down, Reps can rest assured they will no longer have to suffer through these reports. Yes, it is another Republican House attendance report—our regular list of who missed roll call votes and how many.

The number on the left shows votes missed yesterday. On the right, the total missed votes for the entire session from Jan 2024 to the present are shown.

Be kind to the good guys who’ve only missed a few (everyone has obligations, needs to use the bathroom, or gets a sick day). It is the seriel Republicanoffenders that should concern you. They are not representing you in the NH House.

The post Attendance! appeared first on Granite Grok.

Today, we learned that session days can be very long as we toiled over Senate bills from 9:00 a.m. until 7:10 p.m., with time, of course, for an hour-long lunch break. All in all, we slogged through 45 bills on the regular calendar and two more taken off consent. I can’t report on all of them, but I will try to share some highlights, both good and bad. Today, we surely earned our $100 for the year (wink).

We learned that we had around 28-floor amendments that we hoped to tack onto some of the Senate bills before us. These were amendments created from the language of House bills that the Senate recently killed through ITL or Interim Study. Not all 28 were voted to be added onto Senate bills, but for those that did, the House decided to send the Senate a strong message back to them that our work shouldn’t be dismissed so easily. Their favored bills will now include our favored bills. Let’s see what they will do with them. It’s an annoying little game both bodies play at this time of the year and during Committee of Conference season. Seeing as they are also still holding some of our bills hostage, I am sure those House bills will come back to us with many unwelcome surprises.

We learned that we special ordered our first bill to be done after lunch break, only to come back from lunch to Table it 325Y-32N. That was SB558, a bill that would require insurance companies to cover fertility treatments. The Commerce Committee recommended Interim Study because there was some questions about whether insurance companies cover those procedures or not, so either way, the bill ended up yielding no fruit… so to speak.

We learned that CACR22 failed to garner 3/5th of votes needed to pass, as the votes were 195Y-165N on a Roll Called vote. If this had passed, then a question would have been posed on November’s ballot as to whether or not we should establish the New Hampshire presidential primary (FITN) as the first such electoral contest in the nation in our State Constitution. We needed 216 yes votes for this CACR to pass. Apparently 21 House members did not trust the people enough to make that decision. I appreciated comments made by Deputy Speaker, Steve Smith (R-Charlestown), about presidential candidates, “It’s not cute when candidates come here and serve our coffee and cook our eggs. It is a reminder to the powerful people who want to be a leader of the free world that their first job, their only job, is to be a public servant.” He was spot on.

We learned that after all the tons of emails House members received about SB440, which made our eyes blurry, we tabled the bill 224Y-137N. This expanded the scope of what procedures optometrists could perform that they are not currently permitted to do. There were stipulations in the bill regarding required education, training, supervision and certification, but there was lots of push back by many organizations, ophthalmologists, and eye surgeons, warning legislators of horrible consequences that could happen to people if these procedures are not done properly. People who had gone blind from botched laser surgeries came to testify against the bill, as this type of optometry expansion has been allowed in other states. The bill was intended to help increase access to eyecare and procedures because there is a lack of ophthalmologists in our state, especially in rural areas. The thought was to allow optometrists to take on some of the procedures and make them more available for patients. There was no data to suggest that with optometrists performing some laser surgery treatments there would be higher rates of complications or malpractice suits. We also didn’t really know if this move would truly increase access to care and make it less expensive. In the end, the House saw fit to Table the bill.

We learned that SB417 passed 361Y-3N. This bill was a reaction to some horrific things that happened to kids that were placed out of state after being removed from their abusive or troubled homes. SB417 revises criteria for out-of-home placement of children under the child protection act and other juvenile statutes and establishes an order of preference based on placement with the child’s siblings, when possible, and proximity to the child’s community of origin. The committee amendment to the bill was a tighter Roll Called vote of 186Y-178N with all but 2 Democrats against the amendment (because remember… it’s for the kids). The amendment did many things to streamline the process of placement and to help facilitate getting children into homes where their unique needs can be met. For one thing it updated the standard for evidence from “a preponderance of the evidence” to “clear and convincing evidence.” Increasing the standard slightly to the clear and convincing evidence standard will help reduce the number of spurious cases heard by the court and allow the Judicial Branch to focus on the cases where there are real concerns. The amendment also addressed parental ownership of firearms and made it clear that mere ownership does not make a home “unsafe” and that this one factor should not be weighed against the parent. This was a good bill from the Senate… and the House made it even better with its amendment.

We learned that SB476 was the bill that approved a capital appropriation to the Department of Corrections (DOC) in the amount of $40 million for architectural, engineering, programming, design and construction documents for a replacement state men’s prison. This is a must have bill for the Senate. Rep. Terry Roy, (R-Deerfield) offered as a floor amendment the language to HB1711 to be added onto the Senate bill. HB1711 is considered by some, including many gun groups, to be a “Red Flag Law” bill and was recently killed in the Senate with a Tabling motion. It adds mental health records to gun background checks, and was a response to the shooting of Chief Bradley Haas at the NH Hospital. The floor amendment passed 202Y-165N, and the amended Senate bill passed 212Y-155N. Personally, I am not a fan of a $40 million expenditure in an “off budget year”, especially since we in the House keep getting chastised by the “folks on the other side of the wall” regarding bringing “money bills” to the Senate in an “off budget year” (hence their reason for killing some of our House bills…but I guess their money bills are betterer)… and I certainly didn’t support the floor amendment. It will be really interesting to see what the Senate does with this.

We learned that there was “House Drama” after the passage of SB476. Loud words were had between Rep. Terry Roy (R-Deerfield) and Rep. Cyril Aures (R-Chichester) about the HB1711 gun bill language. Afterwards, there were Motions made to Reprimand both House members for their unruly conduct, but the House decided to Table both Motions to Reprimand and get on with the days business. It was a good move, because we still had tons of work ahead of us, and the Reprimand really is nothing more than a “finger-wagging, don’t do that again boys” gesture. The House had already been in recess for a half hour to sort through the aftermath of the “kerfuffle” and decide how to deal with it all and we didn’t really need to waste more time on that. People need to chill… it’s just legislation the Senate will likely kill again anyway.

We learned that SB591, modifying definitions, claims procedures, and funding relating to the youth development center settlement fund and claims administration, passed on a voice vote. That was after an amendment was tacked onto it by Rep. Dan McGuire (R-Epsom). This bill makes various changes to settlement terms, and adds $60 million to the settlement fund for the YDC lawsuits.and will cover our expenses until July 1, 2025. There’s a $75 million cap on the state’s annual settlement costs, and a 5% interest rate on settlements that are paid over time, and that is going to be a level of expense to continue for many years. The amendment removes the ability of those funds to be borrowed and instead will have to be budgeted with the state’s other operating expenses. While it is appropriate to borrow when necessary for capital projects such as roads, prisons or other infrastructure that will be used for many decades, it is not appropriate to borrow to pay current expenses such as this settlement fund. The amendment passed 187Y-173N. Can you imagine that 173 House members would borrow money to pay structured settlements? That would just be a policy of insanity…taking out debt to pay more debt.

We also learned that SB431 relative to Wake Surfing was passed with an amendment 214Y-148N. This bill and its amendment restricts the activity of wake surfing on lakes and ponds that are less than 50 acres in size, codifies provision of existing wake surfing education by the Department of Safety, and mandates a 300-foot distance from shorelines and docks, versus the present distance in statute, which is 150 feet. The hope is that this will enable some progress with the mitigation of the cumulative environmental and recreational challenges. The motorsports industry has a “Wake Responsibly” campaign, to educate about the erosion of shoreline, damage of docks and boats, and interference with other lake recreational activities. For some wake boaters, passing this bill will surely make some waves.

We learned that SB358 was killed 176Y-174N on a Roll Called vote. It should have been passed. With this bill, New Hampshire would not honor out of state driver’s licenses issued exclusively to people unable to prove lawful presence in the United States. We have no problem with legal immigrants, but we know some of our neighboring states are issuing drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. That’s not cool. We heard arguments that allowing people who are unlawfully in our country to obtain driver’s licenses improves the safety of our roadways, but there’s no real evidence to support this. We also know that licenses (a government ID) given to unvetted individuals poses a much greater risk to public safety. Those licenses also confer certain privileges. Why would we give privileges to law breakers? The rule of law is important and should not be discarded. Allowing and condoning illegal immigration by honoring licenses specifically issued to unlawfully present individuals is not in the best interest of this state and is an affront to the millions of immigrants who have legally come to this country. Changing the status quo of state reciprocity on driver’s licenses is not to be taken lightly, but we have a duty to protect the rule of law and safeguard the citizens of our state from the bad policy decisions made by some of our neighboring states.

Finally we learned that SB501 was passed on a roll called vote of 181Y-169N, and that should have been killed. This bill will grant licenses to non-citizens residing in New Hampshire. The bill changes the term “Non Resident Alien” to “Non-Citizen.” Second, it mentions the term “granted conditional residence” but does not describe what it means. Third and most importantly, the bill states that “once licensed, the individual shall be subject to the same provisions of the law as all other licenses.” This is a back door to allowing non-citizens to vote. The minority feels that this bill will have an adverse effect to election integrity. One can only hope that the Governor will veto this horrible bill. This just underscores the need to stop using licenses as ID to vote in our state. We really need to find another way to validate voters.  I am amazed this bill came to us from the Senate!

Next week we’ll have Concurrence Week – The House will vote on all the bills coming back to us from the Senate with their marvelous changes. We can hardly wait to see all the presents they will send back to us in our House bills. I’m sure there will be some surprises and disappointments… like when you get socks or coal for Christmas.

The post So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (5/23/24)? appeared first on Granite Grok.

It wasn’t as if Harrison Butker addressed the students of Yale, Harvard, or some other nefarious communist institution! Rather, Butker spoke to the graduating class at the Christian-oriented Benedictine College, located deep within the heart of America’s “fly-over country!” So, why all this ruckus?

The reason is obvious, yet many shy away from listening. For the longest time, our institutions of higher learning have been overrun with Marxist doctrinaires. Unfortunately, this fact alone qualifies their detrimental status.

Still, every year, hardworking parents send their children off toward these higher learning centers, thinking the best but eventually suspecting and then experiencing the worst. However, as the new freshman class arrives, they fill the ranks left open as the senior class graduates, dispersing to infest our business/corporate sectors and, in general, our country’s well-being.

This rotation has been ongoing throughout my adult life, and yet the routine apparently called for some sprucing up; so along came our public schools with studies that implanted the hammer and sickle doctrines. Now, future freshmen have a running start at being full-fledged and pledged comrades.

All this sounds like a writer with a gifted imagination, but stop and compare what was to what is now being forced fed. Examples are endless, too numerous to detail, yet one recent event, cited above, seemed to rock this mental thievery process, if the reaction it caused in our so-called journalistic world is any indicator. And to think that this caliber of nastiness is being directed at what is still America’s shining traditions and foundational supports.

Harrison Butker’s commencement speech respectfully highlighted motherhood, family, and Christianity. This is in addition to a general acknowledgment of the degrees earned and his best wishes for all the graduates’ future endeavors. Nevertheless, the three topics noted above claimed the media’s ire, along with official lambasting from NFL officials who now enforce this restrictive “woke” stranglehold.

Without delving into the individual quotes from Mr. Butker’s messaging, it needs to be repeated that his commencement invite came from a Christian-based university and that the section of his speech that generated all this ridicule was his revelation of personal experiences and how he and his wife enjoy a rich and rewarding life—one revolving around her being his wife, mother to their children, and homemaker. I might add that this particular section of his speech received an eighteen-second applause!

After listening to all the verbalization and printed rebuke against Mr. Butker, I am once again reminded of journalism’s apparent adoption of Sol Alinsky’s playbook for radicals. To quote one of his “rules,” “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Within its eight-plus page speech, his advice encompassed a broad array of recommendations for the newly minted graduates to ponder upon. Given his self-professed adherence to God, his comments were richly interspersed with faith and his own personal rewards derived from his chosen lifestyle.

This topic, while also on the hatchet list, was too broad-based, so the “target” “picked” was the more personal one-on-one of mother and homemaker, which directly challenges what has been the routine lecture that condemns being held back by male superiority versus a woman’s “be all you can be” career potential. In other words, it has more of a direct, nerve-hitting effect that can easily be expounded upon, given the infamous chauvinist illusion of “keeping her barefoot and pregnant and in the kitchen!”

The purpose of ridiculing his wife’s role is meant to dampen Mr. Butker’s entire spiel since he basically champions traditions that are counter to this communist/globalist theorem. To ridicule a part is to condemn its entirety!

The media’s tactic is actually a knee slap protection of it new aged priorities. No longer can concerns be of an individual matter since this is the age of inclusion and equality. Since his words speak of the proven traditions and personal fulfillment from an inner belief, Mr. Butker’s ordeal is just beginning. There is even talk of his possible exile from the NFL!

Not only are the forces of fairness and inclusion denouncing his one-time oratory, but now they intend to penalize him to the point he will no doubt run their gauntlet until he is financially ruined and socially ostracized! All that is now lacking is an open courtroom and an agreeable “judge” so that Mr. Butker’s act can never become a replay!

This sermon is made in honor of the holy sacrament of 4/20. In the Torah, God said in the context of creating the world for man, “See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food.” Genesis 1:29. When God created this holy proclamation to humanity, he was, of course, aware that he had given humanity cannabis, psilocybin, opiates, alcohol, and other plants or plant-derived substances that would change the human consciousness from its default state.

A judge in New York may have slipped up when he repudiated the US Constitution on the record during a trial. Essentially supporting secession from the federal government, judge Abena Darkeh proclaimed that the federal constitution did not exist in his courtroom. This decision absolutely violated the federal constitution and the US Supreme Court.

The post The Conservatarian Exchange Podcast #203 appeared first on The Liberty Block.

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.

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. 

 

 

The post Secession Airplane Banner Flying Over Merrimack Valley Saturday appeared first on Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.

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. 

The post New Hampshire Survey Shows Disdain For DC, Support For Independence appeared first on Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.

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.
