Massachusetts Houses Children and Pedophiles Together … Again!

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-05-20 12:00 +0000

If you need a poster child for the incompetence of a bloated government, Massachusetts would have to be at the top of any list of candidates. Yes, Hawaii and California are bad, but they lack the tenure of the Bay State. Once the cradle of liberty, it has long since devolved into an aged ineptitude its younger upstarts can’t quite match.

Massachusetts may not be as woke or as “crazy-liberal” as the Left Coast or the Islands, but it has been pursuing Democrat decline for longer than either. The time has allowed it to build layer upon layer of densely packed special interests doing business as public servants. A cancerous growth that is unresponsive to treatment, not that it was ever anything approaching operable.

The faces change, but the crime family of state government remains the same, with apologies to organized crime, which would never survive if they were this incompetent.

Headline: Blue State Housed Migrant Children In Hotels With Sex Offenders

A Massachusetts agency reportedly housed homeless and migrant families with young children in the same hotels as registered sex offenders, according to the Boston Globe.

The state placed hundreds of homeless migrant families in at least six locations with sex offenders convicted of crimes against children, including pornography, rape and assault, the Boston Globe reported. Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey’s Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities rejected the outlet’s requests for information on sex offenders, but said after the outlet identified offenders that the agency checks shelters against the registry every six months.

It is no secret that the third world is unloading its prisons and exporting its inmates to America, and the Biden administration is helping them get here and there and everywhere. Most of the rising crime in Burlington, Vermont, appears to be a product of its sanctuary city status and the influx of foreign gangs, drugs, and disparate cultures.

Blue cities and states are overwhelmed, cutting services to address the basic needs of these misnamed “migrants” at the expense of the minorities who are watching slack-jawed as invaders get better treatment than they do.

Democrats have been screwing their constituents forever, but we rarely get to see this level of escalation such that those getting screwed recognize it as something Democrats are doing to them.

In the case of Massachusetts, the child/predator issue isn’t new. The state has a history of claiming only it can protect families while doing what it can to undermine its claim. Two recent examples:

(2020) Rapist Freed by the Massachusetts Bail Fund Arrested Again for Rape (Kidnapping and Assault)

(2019) State Housed Displaced Children in Facility with Convicted Sex Offender

“The safety and wellbeing of the 7,500 families in Emergency Assistance shelter is a priority for our administration,” a spokesman for the agency, Keven Connor, told the Boston Globe. “We will continue to take all possible steps to ensure the safety of EA residents and carefully review any situation that comes before us to act quickly to protect families.”

Families in locations with sex offenders, like at the Baymont Hotel, where a man convicted of “repeatedly and indecently assaulting” a girl under 14 is reportedly living or at the Colonial Traveler Inn, where an offender convicted of rape and child abuse is reportedly living, did not seem to be notified, the outlet reported.

Talk about leaving plenty of room for sorry, but we did our best. All possible steps.

It is a tragedy that children will be irreparably harmed because the state’s best isn’t good enough, but the state’s best is never good enough, and the voters can’t seem to connect those dots in any meaningful way that would convince them to behave differently at the ballot box.

Time to Pick Another Comment of the Week [Updated]

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-05-20 11:00 +0000

Another week, more comments, and your opportunity to decide which of these seven daily selections is our comment for the week’s winner.

We have also added, upon request, a “none of the above” selection in the event that you can’t pick one or aren’t moved by any of them.

Note: The selection of comments does not infer or imply that I agree or endorse the position(s) taken in the comment. And yes, after the fact, I realized I’d selected comments on two different days from the same commenter. I try not to do that, but this week, it happened.

The poll is live until 8 pm Tuesday evening.

Here are your comment choices

(apologies for leaving one out of the poll – It has been added below.)

Post: Holly Novelesky Running for Congress

Mike Chiasson Support for the “energy transition” (or whatever the Climate Cult term of the day is) is a non-starter. We need to eliminate EV mandates and taxpayer subsidies for EVs, charging stations, and so-called clean energies. Let the different forms of energy compete on an equal playing field, and don’t put up legal and political impediments to expanding oil production, refining, and distribution capacity. I also support a robust nuclear power program, but it’s an anathema to the left and Holly doesn’t seem prepared to fight that battle. I posed a few questions to Holly related to Speaker Johnson’s 3 betrayals on her campaign’s Facebook page, but she has not yet answered them. In sum, if Holly is the GOP congressional candidate for NH-1, I’d vote for a 3rd party or write-in candidate. She strikes me as having more of the same Uni-Party attitude, which has not done anything good for New Hampshire or America. Post: Scientists” Testing One-Jab-To-Kill-Them-All ‘Vaccine’ to Fight Multiple “Coronaviruses”

Martina Vaslovik There has never been any efficacious vaccine for any form of coronavirus, ever. There has never been any cure for the common cold, which is caused by a coronavirus, specifically rhinovirus 39. What they are hawking is not even a vaccine, which is made from an attenuated virus, it’s gene therapy using mRNA, to do God knows what to us, and it’s killed millions so far. They cannot make a vaccine for the *alleged* covid virus because it does not exist. It has not been isolated by anyone anywhere in the world four years later and the CCP conveniently announced they had ordered the original specimens destroyed. It’s my belief that COVID19, or the idea of it, originated not in Wuhan, but in Davos with Klaus Schwab and his merry men, who when they came out with their Great Reset’s pie chart had COVID19 smack in the middle of it and lauded it as a narrow window of opportunity to change the world. Note also that Klaus Schwab’s buddy Yuval Noah Harari has put us all on notice telling us “Frankly we really don’t need the vast majority of you.” Should that not tell us something? Dr. Derek Knauss: “When my lab team and I subjected the 1500 supposedly positive Covid-19 samples to Koch’s postulates and put them under an SEM (electron microscope), we found NO Covid in all 1500 samples. We found that all 1500 samples were primarily Influenza A, and some Influenza B, but no cases of Covid. We did not use the bulls*** PCR test.’ At 7 universities not once COVID detected. ‘This virus is fictitious’ ‘I still need to find one viable sample with Covid-19 to work with. We who conducted the lab test with these 1500 samples at the 7 universities are now suing the CDC for Covid-19 fraud. The CDC still has not sent us a viable, isolated and purified sample of Covid-19. If they can’t or won’t, then I say there is no Covid-19. It’s fictional.’ ‘The four research papers describing the genome extracts of the Covid-19 virus never managed to isolate and purify the samples. All four papers describe only small pieces of RNA that are only 37 to 40 base pairs long. That is NOT a VIRUS. A viral genome normally has 30,000 to 40,000 base pairs.’ ‘Now that Covid-19 is supposedly so bad everywhere, how come not one lab in the world has completely isolated and purified this virus? That’s because they never really found the virus. All they ever discovered were small pieces of RNA that were not identified as the virus anyway. So what we’re dealing with is just another flu strain, just like every year. Covid-19 does not exist and is fictitious.’ Which brings us to this: Seasonal Flu Cases in the US 2012-2013 34,000,000 2013-2014 30,000,000 2014-2015 30,000,000 2015-2016 24,000,000 2016-2017 29,000,000 2017-2018 45,000,000 2018-2019 36,000,000 2019-2020 38,000,000 2020-2021 1,822 Draw your own conclusions… graphic Post: Ashley Biden Confirms Diary Is Hers … And That Joe Biden Is A PEDOPHILE

Agent Liberty You have a far less cynical view of the average liberal than I do, as I think their motivations are less being ashamed over being conned as large numbers of these herds of dependent “thinkers” have been taught that there is nothing wrong per se with child molestation as long as it’s okay with the child, that being sold along with homosexuality as “liberating” and “being true to oneself.” Otherwise, I find their usual excuses are the following: “It’s their private life, it doesn’t affect policy” and “It’s not a crime when WEdo it, since we’re always speaking truth to power, thus our “intended” higher purpose far outweighs any harm Democratic misdeeds may cause”. Post: Night Cap: What Could Have Spiked Colorectal Cancer in Young People Starting in 2021?

TheOrneryNurse Health has been declining rapidly since the medical industrial complex starting pushing “low-fat” diets, a myriad of pharmaceuticals and toxic shots. Our children and grandchildren have been poisoned since birth and the Boomers are not enjoying a quality of life even close to that their parents had. Gen X is being worked to death or being disabled in their 50s because they were coerced into taking experimental injections to keep their jobs. The medical community has much to atone for, but the ruling/laptop class is still earning millions on death, so little, if anything, will change. The People are too fat, sick and sedated to rebel, I’m afraid. #NoAmnesty Post: Hillary Speaks the Truth?

Agent Liberty Yes, Grandma Vodka may have stated several facts here, but all of it just reminds me of what my Grandma used to say about persons like the Clintons, that is: “The Devil will often cite Scripture to try and make his case.” Cankles Clinton (and other Democratics) saying these things is a matter of trying to keep American Jews and their money in majority support of the Party and not a matter of telling the truth about these frauds known as the Palestinians that have brought misery and death wherever they have traveled (including several Islamic nations that have violently expelled them, after accepting them in as “refugees”.

Post: Ross Berry

Hunter Hmmmn, interesting to say the least. Not to put too fine a point on this, but I would be considerably more impressed with this inside baseball had the honorable representative not chosen to hide behind anonymity. Even though or perhaps especially because I understand the consequences that can arise from enthusiastically casting stones at fellow representatives, the speaker, and let’s not forget a regular writer here at the ‘Grok, regardless of whether actual hits resulted or any of these targets happen be someone whose work I’d critique or endorse <shrug>. In a case like this, the identity of an *elected* *official* pointing out the kinds of shenanigans we all know happen, not just in our own legislature but quite likely every such body anywhere on earth, is a very important part of understanding the context. If nothing else, in any tempest in a teapot, without knowing ALL the details the voters have a harder time deciding just who might need punishing at the polls in the upcoming election. Not hard at all for any of us following along at home to come up with all sorts of different scenarios to make just about any kind of story we want without the full context. Which again can be entertaining, but not necessarily the best way to inform your vote. Yeah, I can see the wisdom of Granite Grok ALLOWING said representative to hide under the cloak of anonymity if they so request. Protecting your sources is a fundamental principle of journalism, and political figures and commentators have been publishing anonymously pretty much since the invention of writing systems. Wouldn’t surprise me if some of the cave paintings were in this genre. Don’t get me wrong; I appreciate the information, I just wish we had the full context. One thing I *require* of elected officials occasionally is a modicum of moral courage and willingness to do the right thing, damn the consequences. Even publishing anonymously, there ARE going to be consequences, even if it’s limited to fueling gossip, whisper campaigns, and (more) infighting. Anyone present for the events described will be able to narrow the field of suspects pretty dramatically should someone decide to go witch hunting. I wasn’t there, have only a few dozen times ventured within those ‘hallowed grounds’ for hearings and such, yet I could pretty easily do a bit of sleuthing with that article and resources I’m aware of easily available online to come up with a list of the usual suspects. There’s even a respectable chance I might have the actual author on said list were I to bother. <grin> One among many dangers, of course, someone might well choose to toss the wrong person into the tank to see if they float. While that can be entertaining, it can also be a bit rough on the innocent. Not like we don’t know a lot of folks up in Concord frequent and/or monitor the ‘Grok, and anyone who’s had any dealings with the statehouse can tell you word gets around. My bet is that within a week at most anyone who cares will have a pretty fair guess who it was they THINK wrote this article. Right or wrong, however just any motives might be, regardless of the facts of the matter, that can have all sorts of consequences whether intended or not. I admit, I am human and am rather looking forward to the rebuttals, accusations, finger pointing, and reprisals. (That might or might not be irony or sarcasm, I haven’t decided quite yet.) “Sunlight is the best disinfectant” didn’t after all start as a sociopolitical metaphor in the way Brandeis made the saying famous, but in either context has a lot to recommend it. Post: Government Overcriminalization Catches Unwary Americans Mike Remskiyesterday

Federally prohibitive criteria for posession of a firearm includes:
A person convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year whether or not sentence is imposed. This includes misdemeanor offenses with a potential term of imprisonment in excess of two years, whether or not sentence was imposed.

There is a reason for all of this; look at how many places are not charging or even going after real criminals, but Joe average law abiding citizen gets the book thrown at him for jaywalking and has firearms taken away.

Becky Whitley Is A Bleach Blonde, And Has A Bad-Built, Butch-Body

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-05-20 10:00 +0000

Actually, I have no idea whether Becky Whitley dyes her hair. Nor do I care. Nor have I ever seen her body. Nor do I care what kind of body she has. I just figured that if it is okay for Representative Fake-Eyelashes, a/k/a Jasmine Crockett, to say that about Marjorie Taylor Greene, it would be okay for me to say it about Becky Whitley.

What’s that you say? It’s not okay? Tell me why; I’m all ears. Because I am a White male? Now I understand.

If I say Becky Whitley has a “butch-body,” it is homophobic because I am a White male, but when Representative Fake-Eyelashes says MGT has a “butch-body,” it is not homophobic and, in fact, is “owning” MGT because Representative Fake-Eyelashes is a Black female.

That actually makes a lot of sense once you understand that Woke-Communism is a religion and so is not rational or understandable. Preach it, DT Ford; preach it:

Travel Worry Free Now With a GPS Tracker

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-05-20 09:00 +0000

Whether you’re heading off for your annual family satiation or you’re travelling abroad, the use of a GPS tracking device can prove to be rather useful.

You can attach one to your luggage and keep an eye on it, allowing you to pinpoint its location in the unlikely event that it gets lost or stolen.

Luggage Tracking

Keeping track of your Baggage safety is made easier with a GPS tracking device. These are a must-have for anyone who checks bags, and can especially come in handy in a busy baggage claim.

These tech gadgets show your suitcases’ location on a map via an app on your phone, giving you a little more control in a chaotic situation. They may also act as a deterrent to theft, since thieves know the bag is equipped with a tracking device.

Some travelers like to tuck their tracking devices into protective luggage covers, which hide the tracker and make it harder for someone to grab and remove. Many bags also have zipped pockets that are rarely used; slipping your tracker in one of those spots makes it less obvious. Alternatively, you can attach them to your Baggage safety with glue or strong adhesive strips. You can even use a travel organizer or packing cube to stash your tracker, which distributes it and makes it more difficult to pull out.

Vehicle Tracking

Vehicle tracking systems are a powerful tool to help improve productivity, reduce costs and increase quality control. They provide real-time location data that enables fleet managers to better manage inventory, optimize routes and monitor vehicles on the go.

Discreet vehicle trackers are ideal for home deliveries, providing peace of mind and improving customer satisfaction. They send a new GPS signal every two minutes for accurate real-time vehicle tracking, and can also store historical data.

Choose from hardwired or plug-in trackers that run on battery power for maximum reliability. Plug-in devices, like the OBD GPS tracker from Linxup, plug into a car’s OBD port (standard on all vehicles since 1996). They are also easy to move between vehicles and can function without a battery, making them perfect for small businesses or concerned parents.

Family Monitoring

When your kids leave the house to hang out with friends or go on a field trip, you want to be sure they are safe. This is where a GPS tracker comes in.

Most tracking apps have a map that displays all your family members in real time. Some even allow you to create geofences and receive alerts when they enter or exit a specific location.

The same features can also be used to monitor older relatives or loved ones who may need help if they get lost or become ill. It is especially helpful when they are traveling alone, on vacation, or in places where crime is common, like a hotel.

Some apps, such as Locategy and SilverCloud, can even prevent automotive theft by tethering your kid’s phone to their car or other vehicle to keep it safe in case of an auto accident. They can also remotely wipe your child’s device in the event of a theft or loss.

Emergency Alerts

Whether it’s an evacuation during a hurricane or an outbreak of disease, location-based alerts can save lives. Using GPS, emergency response teams can identify specific landmarks and streets to locate and direct people who need care. This can greatly reduce the amount of time a person is unattended and improve their chances of receiving timely, effective treatment.

When you have a medical alert system with GPS, you can check in on your loved one’s location and get notified if they move outside of a defined geofence boundary. This is especially helpful for seniors or individuals with dementia who might wander from home.

A medical alarm with GPS can also instantly contact 911 and dispatch help, even if your loved one can’t speak. Moreover, the top-rated mobile medical alert systems with GPS include nationwide wireless voice and data, and emergency dispatch through the cellular network for faster assistance.

Even some liberals are opining that Trump’s prosecutions are politically motivated; Biden agrees to 2 debates, with some conditions; is RFK’s campaign being taken less seriously because of his VP selection? NY appeals court turned down the appeal on the gag order against Trump in NYC. Is the media also suing? Washington Post demands people take showers; can America turn around like Argentina did? Are enough people questioning the value of “elite” colleges? Almost 10% of NJ residents are illegal aliens?

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

NY Judge Says Quiet Part Out Loud; Endorses Secession?

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.
