Is DEI Ready To DIE

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-01 14:00 +0000

Howard Johnson’s used to boast over thirty flavors of ice cream. It was great to have so many choices, but sometimes, you simply want a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I went through a period when all my cars were white. It was not a social statement. I love the clean look of a white car. I now drive a beautiful chocolate brown Jeep.

The color is not a statement, just a choice. Choices are wonderful, as is diversity, but only when organic. Would it have been any better for society if the government had forced Howard Johnson to have 35 flavors instead of 31? Absolutely not. Forced diversity is a subliminal form of racism and is harming the quality of American life.

When choices are limited by the boxes that need to be checked, then you do not get the best option for the situation. If you focus on politics, limiting the pool to a Black woman did not give us the best person for Vice President or Supreme Court justice. The choice satisfied certain voting groups, like Blacks and women, but shortchanged America by not putting the best person in place. This also happened at the state level when Gavenor Newsom used the same thinking to replace the late Senator Barbara Feinstein. Biden brags about his most diverse cabinet in history, but he does not discuss it being the least effective either. The administration’s focus on diversity and abortion has taken its eyes off the target issues like the border, economy, inflation, Fentanyl, and trade issues.

Our military effectiveness has declined as the WOKE culture infects all branches. The surrender of Afghanistan was an example. The military is more concerned about access to abortion and gender reassignment services than recruiting. We have not hit recruiting targets under Biden’s term, and people say it is because of the weak attitude of our Defense Department.

Colleges across the country are feeling the impact of “peaceful” demonstrations, which are a result of WOKE DEI thinking amongst indoctrinated students. These students have been told for 15-16 years how evil and destructive America is, and they are all feeling hatred and antisemitism. This environment is not sustainable, and Presidents are reaching out to the leadership, police, and the FBI to intervene. The institutions show their weakness by negotiating with protestors who have violated school policy by setting up encampments instead of taking charge and shutting them down.

The attention the WOKE is getting is all negative and is resulting in the slow, eventual death of Woke and DEI. Just like BLM was shown to be a sham and a Ponzi scheme, DEI has been exposed as a progressive attempt to reshape our culture and future direction, and it failed. These movements attempted to use the Millenials and Gen-Z groups that people recognized as young morons who were allowing themselves to be used as pawns by progressive operatives like George Soros.

DEI needs to die and should have sooner than this. It aimed to feature groups that wanted recognition when they should have earned it with merit. To isolate groups and elevate them above others is racism. Black History Month, Gay Pride Month, and Women’s History are all efforts to isolate and recognize one group over all others. How is this allowed when people are seeking equity and equality? How about we get back to celebrating humanity as a whole and let Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion happen organically?

It’s Forest Fire Season Already And I Still Have My Mud Season Decorations Up

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-01 12:00 +0000

It was inevitable. My yard is still damp with March and April showers (and muddy in places), and the Fire department says the Fire Danger is High. Okay. We’ve also got reports of wildfires in Canada (are the arsonists starting early this year?), and me with my mud season decorations still up. What the heck!

Meanwhile, in Maine, a bit closer to where I sit than British Columbia, they are also reporting dryconditions and some brush fires. “Authorities have been fighting several small wildfires and brush fires around the state Saturday.”

If you look at this wildfire map, there are zero in New Hampshire or Maine.

 

If you look at the ARC GIS Map, there are reported fires (all from 4/27).

 

 

There are three in New Hampshire and three in Maine (it helps to have good tools), though I can’t say what the difference is or why Map One isn’t showing these events. I zoomed down on both to get them to show up. But we all have a similar problem.

While we didn’t have much snow, we did have a lot of rain so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. The winter before last, the West and Left Coast got a lot of snow and rain. That tends to result in an increase in wild grass (as it does here), which is a fuel that lends itself to a potentially crazy wildfire season, but not last year. 2023 saw fewer acres burned in this century. The Wild West and crazy Left Coast didn’t burn as predicted. I blame Global Warming.

Fewer than 3 million acres cooked.

I can’t say with any certainty that people just behaved themself and listened to Smokey the Bear. Maybe the climate cult nutters were all up in Canada last year? They had a lot of arsonists starting fires north of the 49th parallel, much like Australia a few years back. Pro Tip: If the media is hyper-focused on some country and its unusual number of wildfires, human beings are very likely the reason why they started.

Climate nutters engaged in “real action,” starting fires and blaming it on Global Warming. So yeah, it is man-caused, but not because you drive an SUV.

Things You Will Never Hear Sun-King Chris Sununu Say …

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-01 10:00 +0000

Here is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis telling the Biden-Regime to pound sand in response to the Regime’s redefining Title 9 … which is supposed to protect girls and women … to accommodate men and boys who identify as girls and women: FLORIDA WILL NOT COMPLY.

But don’t hold your breath waiting for Chris Sun-King Sununu or his underling Sununicans, i.e. Imposter-Republicans, to say something similar.

Sununu-Republicans, AT BEST, pay lip service to the rights of female athletes … while they make common cause with the DemocratsWoke-Communists to turn New Hampshire into a sea of shanty-towns (ADUs) and apartment complexes, where single-family zoning is illegal. Ask them about it, and what you will hear in response is the usual pablum about EFAs and Parental-Bill-Of-Rights, neither of which will do a damn thing about protecting girls’ and women’s sports.

NY Judge Says Quiet Part Out Loud; Endorses Secession?

The Liberty Block - Wed, 2024-05-01 05:47 +0000

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

Night Cap: Tim Lang, How Would You Like a “Report Card Tax?”

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-01 02:00 +0000

Did that title get anyone’s attention?  Hopefully, it will get Tim Lang’s sometime before the senate meets this Thursday, May 2.  On the agenda is the dastardly RTK Tax, known as HB 1002, which Tim Lang supports.

We know that Judiciary Chair Sharon Carson moved OTP, and her four peers went along with it. Shame on her and the two gentlemen lawyers on that committee! But shame on Tim Lang also!  I found it necessary to shame him to his peers in, but let’s talk about Tim for a moment and the background to this article’s title.

Tim is a member of the Senate Education Committee and was captured in Allison Dyer’s video montage when he asked the NTU lobbyist if teachers had an obligation, to be honest with parents and was given word salad for an answer, both to his question and even more snarky one to his follow up.  Keep in mind, dear readers, that this is the kind of treatment that Laurie Ortolano and her affiliates regularly receive from city hall.

SB 272, which was the senate counterpart of newly deceased HB 10, died an unfortunate death in the House when it was “indefinitely postponed.”  I leave it to you to look up what that means and why, as Senator Gray would say, “butts in seats” matters when the House is in session, but let’s get back to Tim.

Because another Parental Bill of Rights cannot be resubmitted until after the next election, Tim cleverly repackaged it and filed it as SB 341 with a new name.  Most people already know this, but I’ll point out again that I don’t have kids, but I made a special trip to Concord to speak in support of SB 341.  Not only did I do that, but I also made reference to his 3/7/23 question to the NTU lobbyist while at the mic speaking to him and the rest of his committee on 1/4/24.  This was something Tim and I agreed on, and I was happy to, as Nurse Terese would say, “lift him up in battle”(for parental rights).

Allison and I live in the same city as Laurie Ortolano, and it would be nice if Tim would “lift us up in battle”(against Nashua City Hall’s fortress of secrecy), especially considering that 2/3 of the city is being misrepresented in the senate by the mayor’s friend, neighbor, and water carrier, Rosenwald.

Public records should be open to the public, and Tim wants to tax access to them.  So, back to the question, “How would Tim like to pay a Report Card Tax?”

Trump Was Right — The EV ‘Bloodbath’ Is Already Here

Granite Grok - Wed, 2024-05-01 00:00 +0000

Ever since March 16, when presidential candidate Donald Trump created a controversy by predicting President Joe Biden’s efforts to force Americans to convert their lives to electric-vehicle (EV) lifestyles would end in a “bloodbath” for the U.S. auto industry, the industry’s own disastrous results have consistently proven him accurate.

The latest example came this week when Ford Motor Company reported that it had somehow managed to lose $132,000 per unit sold during Q1 2024 in its Model e EV division. The disastrous first quarter results follow the equally disastrous results for 2023, when the company said it lost $4.7 billion on the Model e for the full 12-month period.

While the company has remained profitable overall thanks to strong demand for its legacy internal combustion SUV, pickup, and heavy vehicle models, the string of major losses in its EV line led the company to announce a shift in strategic vision in early April. Ford CEO Jim Farley said then that the company would delay the introduction of additional planned all-electric models and scale back production of current models like the F-150 Lightning pickup while refocusing efforts on introducing new hybrid models across its business line.

General Motors reported it had good overall Q1 results, but they were based on strong sales of its gas-powered SUV and truck models, not its EVs. GM is so gun-shy about reporting EV-specific results that it doesn’t break them out in its quarterly reports, so there is no way of knowing what the real bottom line amounts to from that part of the business. This is possibly a practice Ford should consider adopting.

After reporting its own disappointing Q1 results in which adjusted earnings collapsed by 48% and deliveries dropped by 20% from the previous quarter, Tesla announced it is laying off 10% of its global workforce, including 2,688 employees at its Austin plant, where its vaunted Cybertruck is manufactured. Since its introduction in November, the Cybertruck has been beset by buyer complaints ranging from breakdowns within minutes after taking delivery, to its $3,000 camping tent feature failing to deploy, to an incident in which one buyer complained his vehicle shut down for 5 hours after he failed to put the truck in “carwash mode” before running it through a local car wash.

Meanwhile, international auto rental company Hertz is now fire-selling its own fleet of Teslas and other EV models in its efforts to salvage a little final value from what is turning out to be a disastrous EV gamble. In a giant fit of green virtue-signaling, the company invested whole hog into the Biden subsidy program in 2021 with a mass purchase of as many as 100,000 Teslas and 50,000 Polestar models, only to find that customer demand for renting electric cars was as tepid as demand to buy them outright. For its troubles, Hertz reported it had lost $392 million during Q1, attributing $195 million of the loss to its EV struggles. Hertz’s share price plummeted by about 20% on April 25, and was down by 55% for the year.

If all this financial carnage does not yet constitute a “bloodbath” for the U.S. EV sector, it is difficult to imagine what would. But wait: It really isn’t all that hard to imagine at all, is it? When he used that term back in March, Trump was referring not just to the ruinous Biden subsidy program, but also to plans by China to establish an EV-manufacturing beachhead in Mexico, from which it would be able to flood the U.S. market with its cheap but high-quality electric models. That would definitely cause an already disastrous domestic EV market to get even worse, wouldn’t it?

The bottom line here is that it is becoming obvious even to ardent EV fans that US consumer demand for EVs has reached a peak long before the industry and government expected it would.

It’s a bit of a perfect storm, one that rent-seeking company executives and obliging policymakers brought upon themselves. Given that this outcome was highly predictable, with so many warning that it was in fact inevitable, a reckoning from investors and corporate boards and voters will soon come due. It could become a bloodbath of its own, and perhaps it should.

Diversity Means, Fewer White People

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-30 22:00 +0000

Dutch Lawyer Eva Vlaardingerbroek has chosen a side, as she’d say. She is speaking out in defense of Western populations and their cultures in an effort to wake people up about the elite’s commitment to erasing them.

When asked, “So, how do conservatives deal with this Catch-22 of not wanting to be replaced in their native countries, but also not wanting to be attacked with this term?” She reples,

You can’t. That’s the thing, you can’t. So you have to pick a side. Of course, you’re going to be attacked if you say, “Hey, this continent, Europe, has been predominantly White for the entirety of its history, and now suddenly within one generation, a few bureaucrats have decided against the will of the people that we should suddenly be a minority. Why do we agree with that, or why do we allow that to happen?” If you say that, you are going to be attacked.

But the only other option then you have is saying nothing and have it happen, so the choice is yours, and I’ve made my choice. I think there are many ways in which you can defend yourself, of course, against this ridiculous attack, so I’m sure that they’re going say about me that I’m a terrible racist again. No, that’s not true. I don’t think that any race is superior to another. I just think that mine is also not inferior to that of others.

Is she brave or crazy?

Her approach can be summed up from the interview headline, ‘Explain to me why we don’t have the right to exist?’

A Modest Proposal for the Homeless Hotel Debacle

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-30 20:00 +0000

It seems like we are enduring a constant kerfuffle over whether or not to extend the now-ended federally funded COVID-emergency “hotels for homeless” program with state tax dollars. Lots of them. Twenty million here, thirty million there….

The latest House budget proposal allocates a whopping $50 million. Clearly, Vermonters can’t afford this. But, as Ronald Reagan warned, there is nothing so close to immortal as a government program.

So, instead of pouring hundreds of millions of dollars year after year to put these 1500 individuals/families in a bunch of derelict motel-no-tells, how about we spend a fraction of that just one time to everyone’s benefit and be done with the problem? How? Buy these people a cruise ship!

I did the research!

We can get one listed on Yacht World for $33 million. That’s just the asking price. Surely, the state can use its influence to get an even better deal.  It can accommodate over 3500 people, and according to the description in the classified ad,

Most recently refurbished in 2016, this 880 foot luxury cruise ship welcomes up to 2,767 guests and 912 crew members. Passengers [Those experiencing homelessness] can enjoy a rock climbing wall, a basketball court and a casino, plus four bars and multiple lounges. Guests can also choose from six dining venues. Ocean View and Suite cabins, all of which come outfitted with flat-screen TVs and minibars. Thanks to a dazzling, top to bottom renovation, this popular 880’ cruise ship is more majestic than ever. Guests [Those experiencing homelessness] will enjoy a newly remodeled pool deck, 2 pools, 4 hot tubs, expanded Day Spa & Fitness Center, plus tastefully refurbished staterooms, featuring luxurious bedding and eye-popping flat-screen TVs and more.  

There IS more! Such as on-board medical/hospital facilities, a library, a conference center, laundry, and shopping venues.

What’s not to love? Park the thing in Burlington Bay or Shelburne Bay and leave them to it. I looked at the nautical charts and there’s plenty of space to accommodate the S.S. Bernie’s Mittens’ 28-foot draft. My idea; I get to name the boat!

Now, obviously the on-board Johnny Rockets and Café Latte-tudes aren’t going to continue operating following this change of mission for The Mittens, as she will affectionately be known, nor will the kiosks selling tacky clothing, commemorative key chains, and suntan lotion. But that infrastructure can be re-purposed and managed by the residents (or others, I suppose) for their own entrepreneurial enterprises. Open a convenience store… a salon… laundry service… a snack shack to serve the community. Put the inmates in charge of the operation and have them be responsible for the upkeep of their floating neighborhood.

If this idea works, great! We will have saved Vermont taxpayers tens of millions of dollars if not more, and we will have successfully provided not just shelter, but economic opportunities and the infrastructure for on-location support facilities for folks currently living in distress. If it doesn’t work and they end up just trashing the place, we can always take the thing out into the middle of the lake and turn it into an artificial reef for the benefit of marine life and SCUBA tourism — after disembarking the residents, of course. Maybe on the New York side.

The S.S. Bernie’s Mittens is currently berthed in Port Washington, New York. I bet we could have it here by Monday. Then maybe everyone could just shut the bleep up about this issue and can move along to solving the property tax crisis before the rest end up experiencing homelessness too.

SCOTUS Has To Protect Kids From Genital Mutilation Because The Rest Of Society Wouldn’t

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-30 18:00 +0000

The U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower court ruling that blocked an Idaho law to protect children from irreversible procedures progressives tout as gender-affirming care for minors.

The question is, why did it take a SCOTUS ruling to prevent the transgender cult from harming American children?

Republican Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed HB 71 into law in April 2023, to the dismay of far-left activists. Little defended the bill, saying that he recognizes the role “society plays … in protecting minors from surgeries or treatments that can irreversibly damage their healthy bodies.”

HB 71 made it a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for anyone caught providing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or so-called gender-affirming surgery to minors. Predictably, the transgender cult immediately filed a lawsuit to block the bill from taking effect. The far-left American Civil Liberties Union brought the case on behalf of two families with children suffering from gender dysphoria.

“There is no justification for banning all gender-affirming medical care for young Idahoans with gender dysphoria,” Leo Morales, executive director of the ACLU of Idaho, said in a statement. “The ban prohibits care that the youth, their parents, and their doctors all agree is medically necessary, and which is supported by every major medical association in the U.S.”

The organization went on to say that HB 71 was part of a “trouble trend” to end so-called gender-affirming care in the nation. Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge for the District of Idaho B. Lynn Winmill then granted a stay preventing HB 71 from being enforced.

“After carefully considering the voluminous evidence on this point, the court finds that the treatment for gender dysphoria — when provided in accordance with the guidelines published by (the World Professional Association for Transgender Health) and the Endocrine Society, and which may include medical interventions such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries — is safe, effective and medically necessary for some adolescents,” Winmill stated in the ruling.

Seriously, what is wrong with the adults in the room? Haven’t they heard the passionate cries from the thousands of detransitioners who were subjected to these treatments and now have to live with the life-long medical complications that resulted directly from these “treatments”?

Leaked documents from WPATH showed that it is impossible to give parents and their children informed consent regarding the effects of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transgender surgeries. Despite their best propaganda to tell the world otherwise, these doctors admit that placing children on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones is not a temporary change. Young boys put on puberty blockers often suffer from severely underdeveloped sexual organs. Both males and females suffer drastic bone density loss and impaired brain growth that leads to issues with logical thinking.

The complications that arise from the surgeries are even more horrific.

Male patients who undergo vaginoplasty surgery to create a “vagina” where their perfectly healthy penis used to be, complain of painful urination, loss of sexual function, and in some cases, a pungent smell that never goes away. That smell, by the way, is likely from either necrosis (dying/dead tissue) or because their rectum is seeping feces into the surgical hole created.

For a female patient to have a phalloplasty surgery, the doctor typically removes skin, muscle, and veins from their thigh or forearm to create the new “penis.” While the skin grows back, everything underneath does not. Their fake penis is not sexually functional, meaning it does not grow when aroused; no orgasm comes from having it. All they are left with is the scars and pain from surgery.

These doctors are mutilating these patients in the guise that this will help their mental illness. All the bill does is prevent this from happening to children. It doesn’t stop adults from disfiguring themselves. No person in their right mind should be advocating for this to be done to children. Yet entire medical hospitals and court systems are advocating for this so-called care.

The Cass Report was a damning rebuke of the medical industry’s failure to protect children from harm. Due to its findings, the UK recently blocked minors from access to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries. It found that the mounting issues from their prolonged use and the reality that the medical industry still has no clue about the extent to which the harm from being on them is enough to pause their availability.


Americans have to decide which side of this fight they will be on. Every day, the number of kids tricked into this life is growing. The social contagion grows faster than parents can stop it, and no one is coming to protect them. Sadly, this case had to go all the way to the Supreme Court to stop the madness. It should never have made it out of the doctor’s office.

Did Outraged Pro-Palestine Protesters at UNH Just Guarantee Speech Protections for Opinions They Hate?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-30 16:00 +0000

It tickles me to no end when I see students radicalized by woke teachers and professors, getty uppity about the Biden regime. Even in New Hampshire, where we’ve not seen the vitriol and violence from which years of progressive inculcation stems, they came out to shout some slogans and demand things.

Joe is, after all, Pretending to be the President. His staff and the folks running his government and pushing for war funding for places like Israel are all Democrats who came up the same way – radicalized in schools and Universities. It amuses me when their creations turn on them.

Calling for “intifada” and denouncing the American flag as “that dirty rag” and “this Nazi flag,” a small but vocal group gathered on Thompson Hall Lawn at the University of New Hampshire Thursday to join the wave of anti-Israel protests across college campuses.

If you spent a lot of money on the education of these students, you should request a refund—public school, college, all of it. They are demanding a cease-fire and a violent rebellion—the end of hostilities by Israel and the rise of hostility by Arabs in Gaza. But let’s not get mired down by the mangles intentions of pro-peace students. Don’t forget to ask for that refund. We’re here to discuss the timing. NH House Bull 1305 (HB1305) has passed the House and is in the Senate. It would secure Free Speech Rights in public spaces on college campuses by preventing the college or university “from discriminating against any religious, political, or ideological student organizations, even if the organization requires members to adhere to its beliefs, standards of conduct, or mission.”

188-J:3  Freedom of Association and Nondiscrimination Against Students and Student Organizations.  No public institution of higher education shall deny a religious, political, or ideological student organization any benefit or privilege available to any other student organization, or otherwise discriminate against such an organization, based on the expression of the organization, including any requirement that the leaders or members of such organization:

I.  Affirm and adhere to the organization’s sincerely held beliefs;

II.  Comply with the organization’s standards of conduct; or

III.  Further the organization’s mission or purpose, as defined by the student organization.

I’m already on the record defending peaceful pro-Palestinian protests. I’m pro-any-peaceful protest. So the local peaceful protests could not have come at a better time. The Senate is going to move this legislation forward, and under the circumstances, it would be awkward for anyone, regardless of party, to protest. And HB1305 is not a toothless gesture.

188-J:4  Remedies.  Any person or student organization aggrieved by a violation of this chapter may bring an action against the public institution of higher education and its employees acting in their official capacities, responsible for the violation and seek appropriate relief, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, monetary damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.  Damages awarded in an action brought under this chapter in 2025 shall not exceed $20,000, provided that the cap shall be annually adjusted thereafter based on the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, Northeast Region as published by the United States Department of Labor.  Any person or student organization aggrieved by a violation of this chapter may assert such violation as a defense or counter claim in any disciplinary action or in any civil or administrative proceedings brought against such student or student organization.  Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to limit any other remedies available to any person or student organization.

Students radicalized by woke teachers and professors, and their woke professors and administrators, may not realize precisely what this means. One of the many tactics used by the Left to silence opposing opinions or debates, even on campuses where speech is “protected” on paper, is to create a security situation—the threat of violence or unrest—administrators who demand exorbitant sums for security that make the “speech” impossible.

Denying the “speech” equal access under HB1305 can or will get them sued. It includes the school, professors who agitate to stop the speech, and even individuals actively preventing it.

HB1305 does not permit the narrow limitations recognized under law by the courts.

IV.  Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as preventing public institutions of higher education from prohibiting, limiting, or restricting behavior, conduct, or expression that:

(a)  Violates any law and could be subject to criminal action.

(b)  Is unprotected by the free speech provisions of the United States and New Hampshire constitutions, including but not limited to true threats and expression directed to provoke imminent lawless actions.

I don’t think peo-Palestinian protested calling for Intifada classifies as provoking violence or lawless action, but again, the likelihood of those radicalized students and professors exercising expression on (say) social media to organize opposition or a counter-protest to speech protected by HB1305 to which they object, could become evidence of a violation of the law if the counter-protest or action succeeded is stopping the expression.

That’s a hint.

So, here’s to peaceful protests, good timing, and HB1305.

Why Are Corporations Geared Toward Kids Harboring Pedophiles

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-04-30 14:00 +0000

This is not a new story, but it is certainly worth writing because these companies need to be called out for their complicity in harboring juvenile sexual predators. The Disney Corporation and Nickelodeon are both guilty of hiring known, convicted individuals or those charged with sexual offenses against children to work with children.

It is unconscionable for any company to condone pedophilia, but it is a new low in moral standards to put children at risk knowingly. What could possibly be the upside in the risk-reward equation to make such a decision? There is so much uncovered with this topic that it is exhausting. Today, we will highlight a few just to peel a couple of layers off this rancid onion. We are not looking at isolated instances but dozens over the last fifteen years. Enough to label this a pandemic of sickness.

The staggering figure was previously unknown but came to light after a recent HBO documentary, titled “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids’ TV,” included testimonials from child actors who allege they were subjected to abuse on the sets of Nickelodeon shows such as “All That,” “The Amanda Show,” “Drake & Josh” and “Victorious.” CNN reported over a decade ago that 35 employees of Disney had been charged and found guilty of sex offenses with children. This expose did not prevent Disney from hiring a former employee of Nickelodeon who had already been convicted as a sex offender. Does that make Disney progressive for believing in rehabilitation or complicit in the crime?

The Woke Left ate Florida Governor Ron DeSantis alive when he publicly exposed the Disney Company for knowingly employing pedophiles, but are now doing the same to Nickelodeon. These hypocrites won’t dare admit that someone with an “R” after their name was right.

Bill Maher, who, like Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, is starting to sound more Conservative with each issue, went on an eight-minute rant on his HBO show Friday night about the abuse of children by the Woke Liberals that have gone so far to the Left that they have fallen off the world of reality and common sense. It was an incredibly honest monologue you must see on X or YouTube if you do not have HBO.

Isn’t it time we grew up and stopped all the WOKE BS we are subjecting a generation to? As Maher said, these kids are not wannabe adults but submissive morons who will do anything to impress adults, even if those adults want to castrate or physically mutilate them in another fashion. From sexually offensive books in school libraries to drag queen reading hours in first-grade classes to creating sanctuaries for adolescents who want abortions or sex reassignment treatment, when are we going to realize it is adults enticing and entrapping children into a sick and twisted world? It is going to take politicians and a judicial system to grow some cajones to prosecute and convict some of these corporations and parent/sex offenders for what they are: pedophiles, the sickest of the sick.

The Conservatarian Exchange Podcast #203

The Liberty Block - Thu, 2024-04-25 07:18 +0000

It's Passover, so Steven was unavailable; Alu seizes the opportunity for a hostile takeover of the podcast and begins throwing AnCap bombs from the first moment! The crew gets into a heated debate about whether the government should ever interfere with private contracts and whether discrimination should ever be outlawed; four different opinions emerge, and many brilliant points are made; the Eds seem to argue that the government is necessarily a party to all contracts.

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.
