Calling New Hampshire “Fiscally Conservative” Is Such Gaslighting

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-06-20 20:00 +0000

Informative post in NH-NeverTrump Journal about how OUT-OF-CONTROL “education” spending is in New Hampshire. I am … and have been for some time … so sick and tired of listening to the Sununu-bots/GOP-bots/Ayotte-bots repeating “New Hampshire Advantage,” “don’t mass up New Hampshire,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

New Hampshire SPENDS MORE on a per-pupil basis than virtually every other State in America.

And WORSE, our teachers are underpaid compared to other States because we pump so much money into the CRT/DEI/grooming bureaucracy. But what “conservatives” in New Hampshire are really good at (perhaps the ONLY thing they’re good at) is PRETENDING … pretending that Sununu, Ayotte, Morse are conservatives, pretending that a conservative can win in CD-2, pretending that New Hampshire is fiscally conservative, pretending that many, many school districts aren’t engaged in pushing CRT/DEI/grooming.

The LINK.

Is EV Manufacturing Exceeding Demand?

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

Car manufacturers make little, if any, money on EV sales. A dearth of charging stations discourages new buyers, who are also put off by high sticker prices. Sales of new electric vehicles have dropped off, as have used resale values. Manufacturers nevertheless proclaim these machines are here to stay and that they will keep making them regardless of whether consumers are willing to buy them. This upside-down sales plan may prove troubling for carmakers and consumers alike.

An Unusual Business Model

If traditional business models were in play, manufacturers would presumably produce cars that buyers desire rather than seek to create a market that doesn’t exist. However, in the ideological milieu of climate change urgency, the corporate tail seeks to wag the consumer dog, fueled by massive state and federal subsidies, EPA regulations that penalize gas-powered vehicle manufacture, and relentless propaganda that EVs will save the world. This tension between buyer and seller will unfold over time as either a win for green technology as sales improve or a loss for carmakers as buyers favor gasoline over electricity for transportation.

Car manufacturers have entered into an adversarial relationship with the majority of their customer base. One recent poll reported that 46% of respondents claimed they were unlikely or very unlikely to buy an EV. Of the electric units currently sold, 78% are categorized as “premium” or high-priced models. Mainstream American buyers are discouraged by high prices, range anxiety (fears of running out of power), and a lack of charging stations. Wealthier buyers are more likely to afford home charging stations as well as fancier chariots. It is unclear how manufacturers propose to bridge this stubborn divide.

Charging stations remain a sticky wicket for most buyers. Although the Biden administration pledged $7.5 billion to install charging stations nationally, to date there are only about 40,000, and a quarter of those are in California. The Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory counsels that at least 180,000 charging stations will be required by 2030. This chicken-and-egg competition between EVs and the stations needed to charge them will continue until sufficient charging facilities have been installed, which industry advocates claim will help EV sales turn the corner.

However, consumer complaints about charging reliability compound the availability problem. Increasingly, claims of environmental benefits are dented by revelations that lithium mines and aluminum smelting for EVs adversely impact the ecosystem. Grid capacity to meet the demands of those theoretical 180,000 stations is also in question. Consequently, resale values have plummeted for existing models.

New EPA tailpipe emission rules effectively mandate that 56% of all new car sales will be EVs by 2032, yet that percentage far exceeds current sales levels. Inflation remains sticky, the economy is wobbling, and President Biden just slapped Chinese EVs with a 100% tariff. In such a climate, the competition for car sales appears to be less between consumers and manufacturers and more between policymakers, regulators, and money printers.

The EV Future

General Motors and Ford still need to make a profit in EV sales, and both companies seek to design more affordable vehicles with broader model options. Despite slumping sales and high pricing, GM CEO Mary Barra claims the company remains committed to a 100% electric car fleet – regardless of how many Americans still want to buy a gas-powered car. GM claims it plans to sell exclusively electric models by 2035.  Historically, consumers have driven product demand, but today’s manufacturers have put the cart before the horse. According to Ford CEO Jim Farley, “the journey on EVs is inevitable, in our eyes.” And a GM spokesperson told NPR: “Although the rate of growth has slowed recently, EV demand is clearly moving in the right direction.”

It may be that manufacturers can successfully dictate demand for future car purchases to their customer base. Should the economy decline, food and housing inflation persist, charging stations remain a pipe dream, and reliability of vehicles and chargers continue to be problematic, the best-laid climate plans of carmakers may leave behind showrooms full of new EV museum pieces while workers are laid off and consumers favor affordable, vintage, gas-powered transport. This showdown will determine the outcome of the current tension between car manufacturers and their reluctant buyers, which one observer aptly described as “a troubling gap between expectations and reality.”

Op-Eds, Fundraising, and Updates

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-06-20 16:00 +0000

If you submitted an Op-Ed and we didn’t publish it (yet), there’s a good reason. Our stable of contributors (Groksters) has been cranking out a lot of material. Last week, I addressed this (to some degree) by dropping a lot more content than usual, but I’m reluctant to do it again.

When we exceed a certain threshold for updates, people stop clicking and reading. Put another way, it doesn’t increase traffic, and fewer people will likely read your content. Upcoming site design changes might mitigate that, and on that point, the design team tried uploading a test version of the new site to the new server. There were some issues, and they are working them out.

Anyway, new site – soon. I hope. And the home page layout is different from anything we’ve ever done before. The goal is a wider appeal to broader audiences across New England and the Nation. We’re Still GraniteGrok, but we’ve sorted things so people can get to what they want to ‘Grok! —New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Regional staff, National Stuff, and Global Stuff. They each have their own section on the home page and their own “page behind that,” and while some topics will cross categories – and the stuff up top will be the most recent, it’s … different.

I hope you like it. We also expect it to be quite a bit faster than the old one. I have not seen what the mobile version looks like, but once this is up and stable, debugged, tweaked, and seamless, we’ll move on to the mobile app, and that shouldn’t matter so much.

Fundraising.

The economy sucks, and we appreciate you giving what you can when you can, but I am obligated to bring it up a lot because this only works if we raise enough funds. Last year, we did well, but we did not raise enough, and I had to take part-time work to make up the difference. It is work I can mostly do from home. But I do it for several hours every day, so I am not free to do any of the reporting from Concord or event hopping I’d hoped to do. The session is over, so there’s that, but the campaign season has jump-started at the State level, and we will miss out on most of that, events, and so on.

I’m fine if you don’t care about us reporting from campaign events, but there are other stories we won’t be able to chase or follow up on. I get a lot of stuff I can’t commit to because of the time required to do it properly. I don’t have it.

We’ll get there at some point, just not this year and not yet.

We are currently raising funds for fiscal 2025, and we have a long way to go. It is mid-June, and we’ve got about 13% of what we need. At a minimum, we need to get to 60%, which is what happened last year. The recently updated ads to fundraise have resulted in some response, but since neither Skip nor I is any good at this part, it is a problem. And everyone is asking for money: campaigns, non-Protifts, Activists, and us.

If you are good at this fundraising thing, we could use your help.

Other Business

There is no word yet on whether we will attempt another Groktoberfest this year. Planning will have to start soon, and as noted above, we need to find ways to cover expenses. It’s an election year, so we’ll see what the venue situation looks like and what the costs are. We did make some money on last year’s event, so it is worth looking at.

And, as always, Thanks for reading!

“Representative” Jessica Grill … remember her bitter clingers? The “State Rep” is either actually a thirteen-year-old who lives on TikTok or who aspires to be a thirteen-year-old who lives on TikTok. The “State Rep” who ideates about having sex with older men on her X.

Well, here she goes again. Dropping “F-bombs’ on her X, presumably to try to convince herself that she is just so young and hip and cool.

Support for Local Artisans: Purchasing a handcrafted wooden phone case often supports local artisans and small businesses, promoting sustainable economic practices and preserving traditional craftsmanship.

Practical Tips for Choosing the Right Wooden Phone Case

Selecting the perfect wooden phone case involves considering several factors. Here are some practical tips to guide your decision:

Compatibility: Ensure that the wooden case you choose is compatible with your specific phone model. Check for precise cutouts for buttons, ports, and the camera.

Protection Level: Consider how much protection you need. If you frequently drop your phone, look for a wooden case with reinforced corners and shock-absorbing features.

Weight and Thickness: Wooden cases can vary in weight and thickness. Choose a case that offers a good balance between protection and comfort in hand.

Aesthetic Preferences: Think about the look and feel you prefer. Different woods and finishes can create vastly different appearances, from rustic and rugged to polished and refined.

Budget: Wooden phone cases can range in price. While high-quality handcrafted cases may be more expensive, they often provide better durability and a more unique appearance.

Montana and Idaho Got Cold Air and Up to a Foot of Snow This Week

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-06-20 12:00 +0000

It was in the low to mid-90s the past two days and will be the same today. Everyone around here is looking for ways to stay cool, checking on elderly neighbors, and keeping their pets indoors. But one thousand nine hundred fifty miles west of me, they got a foot of snow.

A low pressure system will bring heavy wet snow to portions of the Northern Rockies, increasing the risk of power outages and leading to difficult backcountry conditions tonight into Tuesday. Key messages are provided in the graphic below.

I blame global warming. It is the cause of everything – the proverbial Satan with Western worshipers who want nothing more than to be comfortable, which is an interesting coincidence. I got an email from our electricity provider in the days before the sweltering heat descended upon us. Their suggestion was to find ways to use less electricity. You don’t hear that when it’s cold and snowy – assuming you still have electricity. Freezing to death happens, but so does heat stroke and all that good stuff. This is why they also ask you to care for pets and check on the elderly. But wouldn’t it make more sense to be in a literal position of power? Where the infrastructure can’t wait to handle peak load times like 96-degree days in the Northeast?

It will be hot, but no worries—we have the capacity to spare. So stay cool, and remember to check on your elderly relatives and neighbors. And yes, we could make fists full of money, but your electric usage is your choice. We’re just happy to be able to provide when called upon.

That’s not the world you get to live in when the prevailing position of “leadership” is that you must learn to do with less.

That’s not America. And I’m not saying anyone should be wasteful or misuse the resources. I am suggesting that you don’t create anything, especially comfort, when your priority is convincing people to have less, do less, and be less.

Montana and Idaho’s snow will melt in a few days (at least at the lower altitudes), while the weather here in New Hampshire will get closer to normal. However, the agenda continues to be about decline and characterized by minimalism while the elites and ruling class spend away our future.

Minimalism should be a choice, not a command.

Lies And Deceit Will Be Biden Legacy

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-06-20 10:00 +0000

We have talked about President Joe Biden freezing three times in the last two weeks. He went into a trance at the Juneteenth festival, surrounded by folks dancing and clapping, but not stoic Joe. He was frozen like a statue.

In Italy, at the G7 meeting, where the heads of state focused on the skydiver who landed closest to the group, Joe was walking off toward another group of divers when he was stopped and turned around by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Finally, Joe was on stage with Barack Obama at a fundraiser when he froze again and was rescued by Obama, who led Joe off the stage. These three situations happened within ten days.

When Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the situation, she immediately claimed Right-wing media teams manipulated the videos to make the president look especially bad. She called the videos “cheap fake,” and the news agencies should be called out for spreading misinformation or disinformation. KJP is the one who should be called out. The videos in question were official pool feeds of the event and were shown in their entirety. Nobody in the briefing room challenged the liar secretary. KJP is a National Embarrassment. She went on to say these fakes show how desperate the Republicans are that instead of talking about the many accomplishments of Biden, they disparage him instead.

Legacy media joined forces with the White House, and people like Nicole Wallace and Joe Scarborough were apoplectic in their reporting of the Cheap Fakes. These mainstream media outlets had nothing to say about the White House refusing to release the audio version of the President’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. They know the tone of the audio transcript would be very dangerous for the president.

In another document that should be rather innocuous is the Defense Budget proposal. Ordinarily the budget is given its new budget number based on the previous year’s numbers. Fortunately, someone on the Right performed their due diligence and read the budget. Buried in the text was an edict to have every female register for the draft upon her 18th birthday. Republican members of Congress were furious when they learned of the additional verbiage added to the budget and vowed not to vote for any defense bill calling for young women to register for the draft.

KJP lectured the White House Press Pool, and it is disappointing that not a single person stood their ground and told Karine she was wrong. These “reporters” are part of the problem when they hear a blatant falsehood and do not challenge the person spewing the misinformation. They are complicit in their inaction. The actions of the White House are a perfect example of projection, and it is insulting.  I had two articles censored by Facebook last week that contained nothing but facts and opinions. Still,  this woman, who speaks for the President, can lie to us every time her lips move behind the mic is destructive to the government’s credibility. Thankfully we have only seven months left before she is retired.

Bill Shaheen’s Hyperbolic Fearmongering

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-06-20 02:00 +0000

The last time I looked at myself in the mirror, I did not see a rabid, clueless, insane, brainless Trump worshipper, as the sheeple of Biden’s flock love to call me – and call 81 million other supporters of Donald Trump.

I see a sensible, rational, independent thinker who possesses self-directed reasoning. I can judge for myself on the issues based on policies of an administration, not on the emotional perceptions and disinformation of character as told by a partisan media.

The Biden sheeple are helplessly captivated by what the Democrat-owned liberal mainstream media tells them. It is all about partisan power. Democrats own the vast majority of all media outlets in this country and, therefore, control the message and control the people.

Most people get their news from the MSM, and they parrot what they’re told. Liberal media perpetuate their unchallenged lies and false claims of Trump and the people believe them. They react emotionally and retaliate with melodramatic name-calling against Trump supporters.

And the hate continues.

Even an intelligent person like attorney Bill Shaheen, in his May 22 op-ed, makes a fool of himself by parroting the false media narrative of Trump being a dictator on day one. Shaheen’s mind appears to be closed to the fact that Trump said he would be ‘dictator’ ONLY on day one – and that was to close our borders.

Shaheen also makes ridiculous claims, without proof, of Trump dismantling military protections. In his first term, President Trump rebuilt our military and he projected strength to our enemies and security to our allies. Trump also signed defense bills providing more than $25 million to support New Hampshire’s Army National Guard. He signed the VA Mission Act which improved access to timely, quality health care for all our veterans.

Shaheen is proud to be a veteran and should be. Our thanks go out to him for his service. However, to denigrate Trump for not answering the call of service without also mentioning that Biden, Obama, and Clinton did not serve in the military exposes Shaheen’s partisan hypocrisy. Shame on him.

If you’ve heard the term ‘kangaroo court’ but never knew what it meant, you’ve now witnessed one in a Manhattan courtroom. This was not a judicial proceeding, it was a political proceeding; a nauseating show of an imperial court system in NYC.

Judge Juan Merchan is compromised. As a Biden political donor he has exhibited judicial partiality by refusing to recuse himself. The Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who initially refused to prosecute the misdemeanor charge against Trump more than seven years ago is equally corrupt. Once Trump announced he is running for president, the charge has been engineered and elevated from a misdemeanor to a felony. It stinks.

The machinations of the case have never been made clear and remain unsolved. How does a misdemeanor charge which DA Bragg, and his predecessor opted not to prosecute seven years ago, now suddenly become a felony? Where is the crime? Does it exist only in the imaginations of a Trump Derangement Syndrome-suffering judge and prosecutor?

It is clearly a case of lawfare and is 100% politically motivated.

The constant attacks against Trump are the primal screams of a dying regime. But the liberal media bias against Trump will continue to captivate the uninformed Trump haters with disinformation and misleading narratives. And the Biden sheeple will remain besotted with the lies.

Biden is the most divisive president ever. His weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI and his targeting of a political opponent is an affront to American Values and Law & Order.

According to the Washington Post Biden’s approval rating is now down to 37%. The lowest rating of any U.S. president in history. Inflation is rampant…prices at the pump and the grocery store continue to hurt Americans. Our borders are in shambles.

Biden keeps saying that no one is above the law. That should include illegals too!

The Biden Administration poses a moral and financial threat to our Democracy. Not to the Democrats’ version of Democracy. But to a Democracy for everyone!

Policies matter. Don’t be brainwashed. Think for yourselves.

Jill Biden Says Don’t Believe Your Eyes

Granite Grok - Thu, 2024-06-20 00:00 +0000

“Joe is so effective in spite of his age, but because of it,” Jill Biden said as she addressed a group of seniors this week. The discussion of age is delicate and subjective. The age number is a marker of time since birth but tells little about the condition and quality of one’s life.

Dr. Jill does not understand this concept, as well as many others, as she drew a direct comparison between Joe at 81 and Trump at 78, saying they are virtually the same age. Chronologically, she is correct, but there is no comparison between the two presidents’ energy levels and mental acuities. You just need to open your eyes as you watch these two men go about their duties. The reality of the disparity is so controversial that it is challenging to understand.

Is this woman not looking, or does the First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, have an ulterior motive for encouraging Joe to stay in the race? If the reason is to fatten the retirement fund, then shame on her. If it is to be a safety net for Hunter, then Biden has set America up for another big lie. Biden has already assured America that he will not retaliate and will not pardon or commute his son. Rest assured that should he lose in November or be replaced on the ballot, his last act going out the door will be a pardon or commutation for the First Son.

This election should not be close. It is the first time in modern history that two presidents are running for re-election. This scenario allows us to evaluate their records. Remove the pandemic from Trump’s first term; his results far exceed Biden’s. Biden basically reversed every Trump initiative or achievement on Day One in 2021. After Trump’s gains, Biden’s actions and policies have put America in a dark place. Trump is gaining in the polls as Biden is dropping, but watching these two men and evaluating their plans, the spread should be even more expansive in Trump’s favor.

Now, we have to address the elephant in the room. Can we be assured of a fair election? Unfortunately, the answer is no.

The Democrat’s election playbook is far more advanced than the Republican’s, and not every play is Kosher or legal. They are already the masters of the ballot box. They have the correct message to address Early Voting, Absentee Ballots, Campus Voting, Ballot Harvesting, and Voter Transportation. There is one more new voter activity that should be sounding alarms.

According to the New York Post: Welfare offices and other agencies in 49 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship, leading Republicans and conservatives to call for swift federal action to stop the handouts

Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.

There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.

However, millions of migrants with humanitarian parole, refugee, or asylum status are eligible for benefits that would bring them to the offices where voter registration occurs.

The Democrats see these activities as legal, while Republicans contend they are a stretch of election laws. Any questioning of these practices by the Right is labeled as “election interference” by the Left. Trump should defeat Biden handily on a level playing field. With the Left, there is no such field.

An Obvious Fix

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ICYMI – Biden Had ANOTHER Brain Freeze

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

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

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

The Left Is As Trashy As Supermarket Tabloids

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Video: House Committee Hears Two Secession Bills

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

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

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

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

Secession Airplane Banner Flying Over Merrimack Valley Saturday

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

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

Notable events since 2021 include:

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

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

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

New Hampshire Survey Shows Disdain For DC, Support For Independence

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Top 100 Reasons New Hampshire Should Be Independent

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

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

 

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

 

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