Ugh. Monday.  Again.

Last week’s Friday Edition.

Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:

1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought
2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

And the closer we get to November, the worser it will get.  Here, and globally.

OK, I’ll be nasty and opine that, clearly, not only does she “need” another raping, but have it be brutal and permanently crippling and sterilizing too.  Then, and just then… maybe… she might understand what she and others have done to her homeland.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, IIRC she actually said something like that.  Reminds me of a UK pol who said that ensuring that their subjects were disarmed would then appeal to a criminal’s “sense of fair play” and they, too, would not feel the need to have guns.

 

 

Quoting Reagan: The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so. 

I’d add another layer – not just that they know so much that isn’t so, but that what they “know” makes them feel important and educated and superior.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Agree with the sentiment, but… it’s not Trump’s home.  It’s his workplace.  NOBODY has that White House being their permanent home.

The most important election in 2022 was in Wisconsin. The Left went all out, pouring millions into the race, while the Right, as usual, sat on its hands. The liberal, activist, Democrat candidate won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which flipped the court from majority Republican to majority Democrat.

The corrupt Democrat (now that’s a redundancy) majority just (I’m writing this on 7/5) gave the okay to use drop boxes in the 2024 election. It is impossible to verify ballots deposited in drop boxes. No matter how many legitimate votes Trump gets … it won’t be enough. You are going to see a repeat of 2020. The voting will be “paused” and then resumed and the drop boxes will produce obviously incredible margins for Biden, just like 2020.

 

The post Biden Just Won Wisconsin’s Ten Electoral Votes appeared first on Granite Grok.

A 2015 McKinsey report promised real growth and opportunity for corporations that embraced Diversity, Equity, and inclusion (DEI), but in the nine years since, no one has been able to duplicate those results – not on paper or in practice, because it wasn’t true.

The [2015]  study gave corporations air cover to promote ideologically motivated diversity programs while saying that it was simply “good for business.” It wasn’t. What it was good for was transforming the world of Big Business into an outpost of academia.

In that sense, it worked.

But the original pro-business justification has turned out to be a scam.

According to The Wall Street Journal, “academics have tried to repeat McKinsey’s findings and failed, concluding that there is in fact no link between profitability and executive diversity.”

There is not, however, a missing link between DEI and a loss of sales or brand value. Companies suffering from Diversity dysphoria can speak to this truth. Go woke, go broke is a common refrain following the diversification of executives, including activists interested in political agendas and not profits (despite the enormous salaries they often command to do their dirty work). Disney, Bud Light, Target, and others have felt the sting of business decisions that undermined corporate success and their brands.

But not all of them got mugged. Tractor Supply put its toes on the ledge earlier this year only to quickly take the hint as customers informed them that this wasn’t the way to gain custom or continued loyalty.

You’d think titans of industry or at least competent boards of directors would know from essential business school texts that the demographics of leadership matter less as your reach gets broader. A local business might benefit from looking like the neighborhood, but does anyone know or care if the people in charge of making sure the product pages at Amazon work (or the planes at Boeing stay in the air) represent the local, regional, or national racial or sexual demographics?

If 2% of the population is Wiccan, does P&G have an obligation to their shareholders to ensure they are seen? The entire idea is ludicrous, but after McKinsey released its “study” …

BlackRock, according to the Journal, cited the study as evidence that diversity created financial benefits when it created an exchange-traded fund that tracked a diversity index. That index has done quite poorly, “returning about 55% against more than 70% for the global index without diversity conditions.”

BlackRock has gotten into hot water over its corporate practices and has announced that it is stepping away from environmental, social, and governance investing.

The not-so-amusing reality is that DEI and ESG are academic partisan political world views that discriminate by design. You can’t embrace them and anything else, which is probably why the wheel has been coming off the bus. If you run your business like some intractable bureaucracy, even the best intentions will bloat your non-productive expenses and slowly sink your ship. It will impact the culture and the customer base, which affects actual diversity and the revenue stream you need to pay to pander to it.

Besides, no one wants to work in that environment for long except those who poisoned it. All that constant tension is bad for your bottom line. The fact that smart business people bought it tells you something about how smart they are—DEI and ESG are just social taxes paid by investors and consumers on top of all the others that produce nothing of value. But it’s not a total loss. DEI may not be proven to create growth, but like rising CO2 follows warming, it appears that diversity follows business growth and success.

The only thing that the study found was that profitable companies ended up with more diversity—after they had succeeded, not before.

If this does not sound familiar, it should. Almost everything the left espouses does the opposite of what it advertises, and DEI is no different.

You’d have thought all these “experts” would have figured that out by now.

The post There Is No Link at All Between DEI and Corporate Success appeared first on Granite Grok.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed many aspects of our lives forever. Masks and social distancing were suspended as the Pandemic lifted. I bet most people purged their cars and homes of masks, hoping never to have to wear one again. Other changes are not so easily defined, and one of these would be the workplace environment.

People either lost their jobs until COVID ended, had their workplace modified so they could continue to work, or their job was changed to remote, meaning they could work anywhere they had an internet connection. These remote jobs were the slowest to respond after the Pandemic. Many workers became accustomed to “working” from home and were resistant to returning to a brick-and-mortar office. This new thinking did not sit well with traditional and more conservative leadership/ownership teams and set up a line of demarcation to be negotiated. I put “working” in quotes because most people are not disciplined enough to work unsupervised at home; therefore, productivity suffered, as did any team environment.

The other side of the equation, and possibly a weaker argument, is that workers are happier, healthier, and more productive for the time working when they are remote. They find the work/home balance beneficial to their professional efforts. The time saved by not commuting was advantageous to both sides of their life balance, and the reduced stress allowed them to focus more on their tasks. These points may sound good, but who is actually setting the criteria, the company or the employee?

At some point, many companies took a stand, and the employees returned to the office or forfeited their jobs. Dell, one of the country’s leading tech companies, is offering an option. If an employee chooses to work remotely, they pass on future COLA increases and job advancements. In the case of older workers, neither of these is enough to return to the office. Younger workers who may need the COLA increase yearly, and advancement opportunities are leaving home for the workplace. Dave Ramsey, one of the leaders in money-handling plans, employs a team of 1,100 people, all required to work in-house. Ramsey feels that the team approach is essential to serving the customer, and his team is under one roof or can find employment elsewhere.

This conundrum was forced on us by a Pandemic with little thought to how it would impact worker relations down the road. Remote was necessary for businesses to remain viable during a once-in-a-lifetime medical emergency. Now that COVID is fading in the rearview mirror, it is time to assess what works best for the business. After all, if the company does not succeed, there is no need for discussion and a policy.

Unlike education, where the impact of remote learning was seen in lower test scores and reduced graduation rates, the business world does not have specific data on how remote workers impact the company. One of the other factors in remote education and business is the continued deterioration of social and interactive skills. We are creating a generation of children and adults who are satisfied to be alone rather than amongst others. There is just something that does not seem healthy about the impact of choosing remote.

This question of which side of the remote argument the government favors is unclear, and it is probably good that it stays out of the discussion. They would probably side with the remote worker, as it promotes fewer people/cars on the road and less carbon into our air. But this government favors a six-hour workday, three days a week, with a nap included for our president. We know how inefficient the government is. Let’s let the companies and their workers duke this one out.

The post Night Cap: Sharp as a Tack Ho Ho Joe Biden Confuses Christmas and 4th Of July appeared first on Granite Grok.

After Joe’s debate fiasco, he must limit his campaign appearances, concentrate on small personal ads that drive a message home, and avoid the verbal gaffes for which he is famous. Joe’s inability to be coherent in a 90-minute debate has created a chaotic situation in every nook and cranny of the Democrat Party. According to insiders, Joe Biden can only carry out the Presidency’s duties from 10 AM until 4 PM. The debate was clearly outside the window of viability for the President. We must accept the 6 hours a day as adequate for the job.

This thinking is lunacy, and anyone who believes it is unfit for the job.

Dems claim Joe must stay in the race to defeat Donald Trump. Anyone else would fall short and set up an existential crisis. In the old days, the only existential threat was nuclear annihilation. The Cold War between the United States and Russia left us one push of the Red Button from the end of the world. The only thing that saved us was Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). Whoever launched first would trigger an instantaneous reaction, and the world would be destroyed. There is no winner; everyone loses, and the solar system has an opening in the third ring for a new planet.

But we have progressed from the Cold War of the sixties and seventies, and now everything is an existential threat (ET) to the world for the Democrats. Do these folks on the Left ever have independent thought, or do their political leaders program them?

Global change-ET. Republican control-ET. Fossil Fuels-ET. Donald Trump-ET.

It would be comical, except the Left is so brainwashed that they believe every talking point from Democrat politicians or legacy media. This past week has been all about the Democrats eating their own. Biden is toast, but Jill and Hunter keep lathering on the butter and jelly. They know they have to keep this shell of a man upright and breathing until Hunter’s second trial is complete, and he needs to have his conviction pardoned or his sentence commuted. That is Biden’s motivation to stay in power. They have stolen enough money from the American people, and now they have to defeat the justice system by letting it run its course and then overriding it. That is what Joe means by respecting the rule of law. It works fine when putting your political foes behind bars, but not your son.

Joe Biden will not be on the ticket in November. The Party has to find a way to get Kamala to step aside. She will need a position of prominence, and that won’t be easy, but it will not be President. Unlike the Republicans, the Democrat bench is weak. Please don’t tell me that Gretchen Whitmer or Kathleen Hockul are Presidential material. Don’t gaslight me that Hakeem Jeffries or Gavin Newsom have a story that puts them behind the resolute desk.

The existential threat to America, not the world, is the Democrat Party. They want this country transformed per the directive of Barack Obama. He may be out of office, living the good life in one of his many mansions, but he is still running the Democrat Party. He doesn’t need Michelle in the White House. He has all the power he needs, and that is existential to me.

The post Existential Has Been Rendered Useless By Democrats appeared first on Granite Grok.

The battle over Biden continues as a small cadre of insiders circle the wagons to protect their political sugar daddy. The insiders aren’t interested in what’s good for the nation, and the outsiders aren’t either; they don’t want Trump to win and are convinced that Biden 2024 is the best thing to happen to Trump since Hillary Clinton.

To prevent that some are prepared to hold the checks and stop the fundraisers.

Screenwriter Damon Lindelof who has been a significant contributor to the party proposed on Wednesday a “DEMbargo”, withholding funding until Biden stands aside.

“When a country is not behaving how we want them to, we apply harsh economic sanctions. It’s a give and take – short term hurt for long term healing,” Lindelof wrote in Deadline.

According to CNBC, philanthropist Gideon Stein will pause almost all of a planned $3m in planned donations. “Virtually every major donor I’ve talked to believes that we need a new candidate in order to defeat Donald Trump,” Stein said.

On Wednesday, Reed Hastings, the co-founder of Netflix and a Democratic party megadonor, joined calls for Biden to take himself out of the presidential race.

Netflix! Isn’t that the Obama network now? Barry must be at cross purposes. Joe has been his bitch, and now he needs a new one, but the Muppet won’t take a walk. That suggests to me that he’ll meet with the experts (The Clintons) to figure out how to blame the proud Boys for Joe’s timely departure before November. It’s not like Joe is going to go paddle boarding in Edgartown Great Pond.

Will The Bidencott work?

Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Roy O. Disney, who co-founded The Walt Disney Co., told CNBC on Thursday that she plans to withhold donations to the party she has funded for years until Biden drops out. The president has said he has no plans to withdraw from the race, despite calls for him to do so.

“I intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replace Biden at the top of the ticket.

Walt’s wacky relative is one of many in her well-heeled position who insist they respect Joe (F you Tara Reade) but thinks he is clearly past his use-by date and risks poisoning the rest of the pantry if not removed and placed away from the other fruits in the progressive line-up. This desire runs in direct opposition to that small group of people (mostly named Biden) who might find themselves charged with any number of crimes if the Big Guy isn’t pretending to be President, and efforts to portray Biden as in his right mind aren’t having the desired effect.

The Debate debacle was just too much of a shock, as I noted here.

Nothing in recent memory seems to have confounded as many people in one evening at one time -around the world – as seeing Joe Biden a week ago, Thursday; Liberal people, mostly, mouths agape with the slightest patina of the crap sandwich the media has been feeding them still on their lips.

It was one of those ripped-off-bandaid paradigm-shifting moments when progressives realized that the media doesn’t just lie to independents and Republicans. Jarring! How Dare You! And Joe, of course, has no clue what’s going on. He does what they tell him while Jill Hunter and the rest of his family try to keep the wheels on the bus. But I don’t think they get it. Democrats who have been making excuses or Defending Joe have to run from him. If they don’t, they are not only guilty of not giving a damn about the nation but Democracy itself. All while (and this juicy) having to contend with their unabashed support for him during a primary in which Bdein was clearly not all there.

New Hampshire Democrats ran a massive and reported successful write-in campaign to ensure the Vegetable in Chief won the Democrat NH Primary and had a shot at winning the party nomination on purpose.

Happily for us, they have to live with that as we stumble, like Joe, toward election day 2024 with – perhaps – a lot less money than they’d hoped for, with a caveat to the doom bloggers: yes, they will try to steal the election, no matter what. The problem is, how do you steal something when you may need to do it in more than just a handful of swing states?

 

The post DEMbargo – Wealthy Left-Wing Donros Revolt: No Money Until Biden is Replaced appeared first on Granite Grok.

In 2022, JR tried to recruit me to primary my senator.  I won’t take the readers on a scenic side trip discussing the details of my multiple reasons for declining his request, but he did stroke my ego and I agreed to hear his 30 second ad on why I should say yes because I was flattered that he thought I was “senate material.”  Though I instead chose another rep run in a trashy blue district, I had a conversation with a local about it months later.

This was no ordinary local, but one who served on the school board and has run for other offices.  Though residing in the most trashy senate district, this was someone who knows JR well and home schooled 6 kids all the way to ivy league acceptance and is therefore no dummy.  The strategic advice I heard for primarying an incumbent senator was to choose 3 major campaign talking points in which the incumbent has been an abject disappointment.

Rep Emily Phillips is following that model in her race against Senator Gannon, who has the establishment’s blessing.  I will review them in the order that I have personally selected, starting with the one that any respectable Nashua resident ought to be outraged about. Some people might think that I’m beating a dead horse by stewing over the RTK Tax, which Senator Gannon cosponsored.  My apologies to any equestrians that might be among them, but HB 1002 should have suffered a fate worse than the glue factory.  Instead, the Damn Emperor signed it.  Senator Gannon’s “Queen Sharon Sheepledom” was on full display since that assault against transparency had its April 18 executive session in the Judiciary committee.

And if that’s not enough, I encourage all the Kelly Ayotte critics to examine the relationship between those two lawyers.  In addition to endorsements, the money trails should be scrutinized, but let’s move on to the other two talking points. Senator Gannon sponsored SB 456, a student debt forgiveness bill that fortunately died in the House.  Otherwise it would have transferred debt to the taxpayers, something DC swamp rats are regularly trying to make happen.  NH deserves better, especially seeing that Concord should never be “little DC.”

The third reason can be broken up to multiple reasons, but there’s a hive minded common theme, and I will get into that as well the importance of the roll call.  The first example is Defend the Guard, a nationwide movement happening at the state level.  In NH, it was HB 229.

You can read all about its death in the senate without a roll call, but Senator Gannon could have requested one as could have any of his peers.  He chose to go along to get along and my understanding was that’s from being a “Jeb Sheeple,” which is just as bad as being a Sharon Sheeple.  Another example of such dereliction of duty that involved the absence of a roll call was SB 501, a very bad enemy camp bill that would license alien drivers to share our roads and usher in more voter fraud.  Furthermore, it got a 5-0 blessing from Judiciary, which Senator Gannon is a member, and sailed past the whole senate in the name of consent the same way that HB 1002 did.  It later made it though the House and was vetoed.  Just like a broken clock being right twice a day, the Damn Emperor does the right thing once in a while.

The institution of the roll call is so important because it promotes transparency and accountability.  When a bad bill makes it though either chamber, constituents deserve to have a record of whether or not their own elected officials supported or opposed it.  Even if your elected is a dissenter of a bill being steamrolled though the body, if s/he requests a roll call, that dissent becomes archived and available for review before the next election.  If your senator claims to have voted on the non prevailing side by way of the voice vote in a bill or amendment of great importance, you can politely point out how ineffective that was with regard to transparency.  I remember a 2022 dining room discussion with Senator Giuda telling me and a bunch of fellow listeners “it’s all about being effective” and he happens to be right.  As for Senator Gannon, he had an opportunity to go on record with his votes by requesting or seconding roll calls, but he didn’t.  That’s particularly disappointing because a lawyer should understand and embrace that more than all the non lawyer peers.

SB 263, the enshrining of Mass Health, interestingly did get its roll call and the socialist hive mind unanimously prevailed.  Peer pressure, anyone?  The good news is that the House blocked that abomination sponsored by Jeb.  If you look at the bill, you will see that it was left over from last year and has all kinds of activity that was presumably an attempt at life support.  Thank God, it’s dead and thank God, the 1/4/24 House attendance had the right composition of participants to make that happen.  Roll calls matter, and Emily plans to request them though one must keep in mind that another senator must second each request.

In review, I encourage everyone who votes in District 23 or knows someone who votes there to read my earlier article introducing her and get involved in helping make her victory happen on September 10.  Please check her events page often for opportunities to meet her and don’t hesitate to donate because senate campaigns are not cheap.

The post Future State Senator Emily Phillips appeared first on Granite Grok.

So-called moderate French President Macron went to bed with the Communists to stay in power, and after Today’s second set of “snap” elections, he appears to have succeeded.

In a disappointing result, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN), which won the first round of voting last week, was relegated to third place, with between 132 to 152 seats. Finally, the centre-right Les Républicains are projected to have won between 57 to 67 seats, Le Figaro reports.

The results confirm the ability of the French establishment to use the antiquated parliamentary system created in the 1950s to limit the power of outsiders amid deep political strife verging on civil war.

While the populist right-wing party would have become the largest party if last week’s results were final, the second round of voting gave the government and political establishment the ability to rally their supporters, sparking the highest turnout in decades to thwart the Le Pen party. Macron’s faction reportedly made deals in some 200 constituencies with the far-left to undermine the populist party’s ability to gain a majority.

Interestingly, Macron and his allies justified an open alliance with the socialists to avoid a civil war if Le Pen and the “right” were to win.

The hyperbolic rhetoric from the government was continued by Macron’s deputy, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who said this week: “I think a majority dominated by the extreme right and the RN would be dangerous”.

“There would be a lot of violence in society if the RN program were to be implemented… It would also be a disaster for our economy”, he added.

And, as usual, it is not the right (which in France isn’t all that “right”) but the actLeftLeft that is always ready to engage in violence.

However, despite the warnings from Macron’s globalists about the so-called “far-right” — a term which Le Pen rejects given her largely left-wing economic platform — it has been Macron’s now far-left partners who have been behind major violent uprisings over the past year, including riots last week following the National Rally’s victory in the first round of voting.

Indeed, even before the initial results were announced, shop owners along the Champs-Élysées began to barricade their storefronts in the expectation of further leftist riots in the capital. A total of 30,000 police officers, including 5,000 in Paris, have been mobilised in preparation for potential leftist violence on Sunday evening.

We’d say France has fallen, but that would be old news. Macron already has France on a path to self-destruction. Lying down with the Leftleft will only accelerate the decline. But it shows you what global elites will do to cling to power. Anything.

This is for those of us who have daughters that the Biden Administration (and his LBG and Trans minions) are forcing to undress in front of males who believe they are females and then can rightly invade girl bathrooms and locker rooms.

Back in April, they did the usual Progressive, Anti-Traditional American Norms thing and rejiggered our common language to suit their political agenda. Eliminate any sense of biological sex differences with the socially constructed term “gender identity.”

Biden Guts Trump-Era Title IX, Issues Rules to Protect LGBTQ Students, Eliminate Gender-Based Categories

“The new final rules re-write discrimination as “based on stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex characteristics.” But not actual sex.  They are eliminating sex-based categories and distinctions. And gaslighting us into accepting that there is no actual difference between males and females.

There is only gender identity, sexual orientation, and sex “characteristics” which are not the same as biological sex. They are playing games with language. And smuggling in lies. “

With (sarcastic) thanks to Governor Sununu for forcing us to deal with the repercussions after signing SB263; an Act bringing the “gender identity” Culture War to New Hampshire. 

US Secretary of Reeducation Miguel Cardona was called to the Congressional carpet for implementing these changes to LAW via simple “interpretations” (sound familiar?); reformatted, emphasis mine:

Education Secretary Falls Apart When Asked Whether He Would Force His Daughter to Undress in Front of Men

Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona declined to answer questions about whether he would let boys fight his daughter in sports or undress in front of her in bathrooms at a Tuesday hearing. President Joe Biden’s administration released a finalized rule in April that extends Title IX protection to encompass “sexual orientation” and “gender identity,” but it does not address transgender athletes. Cardona refused to answer the questions from Republican Utah Rep. Burgess Owens, saying he would not comment on rules related to athletics that his department has not yet proposed.

<snip>

“Would you force your daughter to undress in the bathroom with boys, who are also undressing?” Owens asked.

“I am not going to be commenting on athletics rules that we haven’t proposed,” Cardona answered.

How evil is this Biden Administration, how COWARDLY are those in it, in not admitting what he really thinks as a DAD?  That Cardona decided that his fealty as a Protector was NOT to his daughter but to this pernicious ideology that states that biology doesn’t matter and to the Biden Administration.

And you can watch the video at the Daily Caller (can’t embed it here), Cardona hides behind the rubric of “Once we finalize our regulations on Title IX” nonsense – note that he REFUSES to answer the question ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER AS HER DAD! This isn’t “politics over country”, it’s “politics over family”.

I’m glad that Owens followed up with this question as it skewers the talking point that the Militant Trans-Authoritarians have been making that if you don’t accept AND affirm us, you’re nothing but a bigot. That *I* am more important than your stupid role, as a Parent, in protecting your children; your CHILDREN are bigots and so are you Parents!”.

“If your daughter was reported, she felt uncomfortable in a boy’s presence in a bathroom or locker room, would that be considered by your administration to be discrimination or bigotry?” Owns followed up.

And such a coward:

Cardona again declined to provide a “yes or no” answer as Owens pressed him. “Girls have now entered in contact sports of boxing and wrestling. Would you allow your daughter to physically fight and get beat up by a boy who called himself a girl?” Owens asked. “Yes or no.”

“Be happy to, once we finalize our regulations on Title IX athletics, to come back and have a conversation with you,” Cardona said.

And he wouldn’t even answer the question,  Would you agree that women are physically different from men?”

This is the same attitude that I ran into from my School Board when going after their unconstitutional mandate of ripping away Free Speech Rights and demanding that staff lie to Parents concerning the transgender status of their child in their Govt schools.

And the SPLC wonders why many of us can be “anti-government” when it can’t even give us straight answers!

 

Editors Note: Cardona is off the hook for now. Using SCOTUS’ vacating of Chevron, a Federal Judge Just Blocked DoE’s new Title IX rules the day before they were to go into effect.

Years ago, someone working for Ron Paul’s campaign was searched by TSA before getting on a plane,.  Because he had a box containing close to $5000 in cash campaign contributions that he was transporting to campaign headquarters, TSA agents detained him, questioned him, and ultimately arrested him.

The ACLU filed suit on his behalf.  In response, TSA revised its guidelines to make it clear that TSA officers are authorized to conduct searches related to safeguarding flight safety, not to engage in general law enforcement.

As the ACLU explained:  ‘The airport is not a Constitution-free zone, and the price of traveling is not exposure to limitless government searches.

But the same is true of roads, isn’t it?  The price of traveling is not exposure to limitless government searches.  A road isn’t a Constitution-free zone any more than an airport is.

And yet, it seems that about every two minutes in America, someone posts a new video online showing police officers behaving just as badly at a traffic stop — using an alleged moving violation as a pretext for a search, in which they hope to turn up evidence of some crime that is unrelated to traffic safety—and using rhetorical tricks, outright lies, extended detainment, and threats to coerce the driver into allowing the search.

At many of these stops, the officers seem to be afraid that the people whose rights they are violating might decide to offer resistance, possibly armed resistance.  This makes them hyper-vigilant, which results in people being pulled out of cars, guns being pulled out of holsters, and occasionally in motorists being shot — all over alleged traffic violations.

This is yet another place where the Live Free or Die State could take the lead in simultaneously promoting both individual rights and officer safety By passing a law requiring traffic stops to deal only with safeguarding traffic and nothing else.

Such a law should

(1) prohibit officers at a traffic stop from engaging in any behavior not related to the reason for the stop (including asking such apparently innocuous questions as ‘Where are you coming from?’ or ‘Where are you going?’);

(2) disallow the use of any information obtained during a traffic stop in court, or in the furtherance of any investigation, except when directly related to the reason for the stop; and

(3) assess significant personal fines for police officers who engage in such behavior anyway.

Under such a law, if an officer sees a traffic violation, he issues a warning or a ticket, and that’s the end of the encounter.  No chit chat, no fishing expeditions, no ‘smelling illicit substances’ or ‘noticing furtive movements’, or making up other excuses to conduct a search or pursue a line of questioning unrelated to the reason for the stop.  It would be as simple and straightforward as checking out at the supermarket.

Note that under such a law, since not even a cursory search (like peering into the back seat with a flashlight) will be conducted, there’s really no reason in most cases for a stop at all. With video evidence (which, at this point, is ubiquitous), the car owner can just get a ticket in the mail.

So, under such a law, there would be fewer opportunities and less motivation for police officers to violate the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.  (Why go to the trouble of inventing pretexts to gather information that can’t be used and which might end up costing you money?)  There would be less reason for drivers to fear the police and for the police to fear drivers.

What’s the argument against this?  The only losers here would be those who reject one of our oldest and most cherished principles, that it’s better to let some of the guilty go free than to punish any of the innocent.  When did we stop believing that?

We just celebrated the 248th celebration of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence! Happy Birthday, America! I am sure you know that the Declaration of Independence was meant to be a list of grievances leveled against Great Britain for her being “deaf to the Voice of Justice.

Although the list of grievances comprised the bulk of the Declaration, the Founding Fathers made it clear that they respected and honored Great Britain but that it was now time for them to become an independent entity of 13 colonies. This was the foundation for the Constitution. They saw the need to make men aware that their personal rights and powers are first and foremost from God and not derived from their fellow men.

Over eleven years later, the founders met to discuss a form of cohesive government that would unite the colonies into one nation. Thus, they delivered to the world the first civilization in which the people determined how they would be governed by choosing among themselves men (today women) who could convert the necessities of civility to laws of regulation that would not usurp the peaceable lives of its citizenry.

There is much talk today of preserving our democracy. Our Founding Fathers did not view America as a democracy, having studied pretty much every form of recorded government known to mankind. They created a Constitutional Republic. This allowed the people to have power but not unlimited power so that a majority could not rule over the minority = (democracy). It allowed the government to guide through debate and balanced representation the need for civil order, thus greatly diminishing its power to rule over others in a Monarchy or Dictatorship.

We want to thank Pastor Allen Cook for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.

This is the most marvelous form of government that been created so far since mankind has begun. Its proof is in its sure standing for these many years, and instead of being diminished or demised, it has flourished. We often say there is a reason for everything. Well, I believe the reason we have stood as a nation that is a beacon of hope for the world is because in the foundation, we sought the care and protection of Almighty God from whom our freedoms and rights are given. Note the speech Ben Franklin gave when the gathering for the Constitutional Convention hit a real snag in the process:

“In this situation of this assembly, groping as it were, in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of Lights to illuminate our understandings? At the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine Protection. Our prayers, sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending Providence in our favor….And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine we no longer need His assistance? I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: that GOD GOVERNS IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN. (emphasis, mine). And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the sacred writings that except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel…and we ourselves shall become a reproach and a byword down to future ages. I therefore beg leave to move, that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the clergy of the city be requested to officiate in that service.”

Franklin’s motion was not addressed or voted on but the Convention did recess for three days to attend church and listen to leaders of the day. They gathered at the Calvinist Reformed Church in Philadelphia and were prayed over by Rev. Willam Rogers. Needless to say, after this brief hiatus, they began to make progress.

So many historical records and documents emphasize that the Founders (whether practicing Christians or not) invoked God’s wisdom and blessings upon the new Nation. Perhaps we should consider Franklin’s word as most appropriate for us in this dark hour.

Until Next Time…

The machine media has been quick to suggest that this week’s massive Labour victory in the UK Elections is the emissions reduction we were looking for to cool Europe’s heated-up right-wing uprising. It looks like that, and they’ll keep trying to sell it; just don’t read the not-so-fine print.

Here’s the machine media response you’ll find up and down the fake fourth-column food chain.

A triumphant U.K. Labour Party is back in power in Britain after winning a historic landslide election victory over the ruling Conservatives.

Defeated Tory Prime Minister Rishi Sunak resigned on Friday morning after losing the snap election he called six weeks ago, having led his party to the worst-ever defeat in its 190-year history.

As in other recent elections around the world, the result marks a complete repudiation of the ruling class. A Conservative Party which had run the U.K. for the past 14 years was simply swept away in a wave of public anger at Britain’s stuttering economy, failing public services and a succession of political scandals.

The sheer scale of the result was extraordinary, with Labour on course for a 170-seat majority in the House of Commons — the biggest since Tony Blair’s famous win in 1997.

It was a massive, historic left-wing party win. Left wing? Not so fast. How did Labour earn this historic win? What did they tell the people of England they would focus on if elected?

Britain’s snap elections, called in May by now former conservative-party Prime Minister Rishi Sunak,* wreaked havoc on the historic party of Margaret Thatcher and rocketed the liberal socialist labour party into equally historic control of the entire British Government by a massive margin. Corporate media is trumpeting the result as a failure of conservatism in England, and a narrative opposing the recent ascendency of the ‘far right’  in the rest of Europe. But contrary to that narrative, Labour’s winning campaign slogan was “Make Brexit Work.”

Perhaps even more tellingly, now-dominant Labour was the only major British party to oppose vaccine mandates and most of the vaccine passport rules during the pandemic.

So, New Labour is a bunch of anti-vaxxers interested in England’s national and economic identity?

While corporate media myopically pretends to celebrate the election of a left-wing government in Britain, they have (probably intentionally) missed the gist. In yesterday’s election, voters overwhelmingly rewarded parties that had opposed jab mandates. Britain’s RINO conservative party undermined Brexit, which was bad enough, but even worse it deployed severe jab mandates and passport rules. And Boris Johnson, the pandemic Prime Minister and conservative leader, infamously partied while locking down the rest of Great Britain.

Mostly, sort of. “ It might be more accurate to say the election was less about rewarding Labour than punishing the Conservatives, who were indisputably responsible for Britain’s over-reaction. In fact, it makes me (partly) happy the Republicans were in the wilderness during Biden’s first two years.”

Labour’s victory primarily results from Tories (a party full of Bushes, McCains, and Sununus) doing things the people opposed and then doubling down on them. In France, we see the same thing as they go to the polls again today for round two – which will determine if the right can form a government or if it needs to make deals with commies and greens.

Meanwhile, back in the Colonies, we’ve got a sock puppet president and a raft of ills with so many holes in it that his own party base is rebelling. What results from this may not be known until next year. The left doesn’t like to lose, and they’ve proven themselves capable of ensuring they don’t. But the discontent is broad, and across party lines, the electoral rebellion might be too vas forever for the deep state to undermine.

We can hope.

Even Fauci has admitted that there was no science behind the forced masking of schoolchildren. But Sun-King Sununu can never admit a mistake. So, of course, he had to veto a bill prohibiting the practice. The Sun-King’s veto message … followed by some comments.

Needless to say, the Sun-King’s fidelity to local control is purely transactional.

The Sun-King is an elitist who, just like the NH-“Democrats” (Woke-Communists), does not really believe in democracy. He can’t just come out and say that because no good would come of the serfs realizing their benevolent rulers aren’t that benevolent. So the same Sun King who has no problem with overriding “local control” in order to turn single-family zoned neighborhoods into ADU-shanty-towns … falsely claims that maintaining “local control” was the reason for his veto.

The only principle that the Sun King adheres to is being thoroughly unprincipled.

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.
