Kelly Ayotte is no conservative … unless you define “conservative” as spending the first five years of your Senate term being a mini-me John McCain and the last as a mini-me Jeannie Shaeenie. Morse is no conservative either … he voted to enshrine Obamacare into State law and staunchly supported COVID-tyranny.

More importantly, running as a “conservative” is not the way to win statewide office in New Hampshire for the foreseeable future. Hell, even the supposedly “conservative” CD-1 looks like it is going to belong to Chris Pappas for as long as he wants it. So why should the NHGOP primary be about which candidate is the most conservative … given that real conservatism is anathema to a majority of New Hampshire voters?

Let’s look at the 2022 CD-1 primary and general election. Karoline Leavitt received approximately 25,000 votes in the primary, while Mowers and Gail Huff Brown … who presumably were viewed as less conservative than Leavitt … combined for approximately 33,000. Prescott and Baxter combined for approximately 15,000.

Pappas won the general election by a landslide … 167,000 to 142,000. The “conservative” in CD-2, Burns, fared even worse. He was blown out by 36,000 votes. So, I ask again, why are Ayotte and Morse … who aren’t even conservatives … making the primary about who is the conservative? Makes no sense.

Sun-King Chris Sununu did NOT repeatedly win elections because the majority of voters believed he was a real conservative. He won precisely because the voters believed, quite correctly, that he was NOT a real conservative. I am aware that Sununu used the term “conservative” to describe himself, but his positions … abortion-on-demand, “diversity-is-our-strength,” boys participating in girls’ school sports, COVID-tyranny, etc., etc., etc. … were anything but real conservativism.

Unfortunately, bitter-clingers this is what New Hampshire has become … a place where only a pseudo-Republican like a Chris Sununu or a Larry Hogan or a Charlie Baker can win a major office like Governor or Congress.

What probably would best position Ayotte and Morse for the general election is to just drop the conservative-schtick.

For years, I have always tried to give the libertarian movement the benefit of the doubt. I know there are different factions/degrees in the movement that may be more left or right leaning than others that claim to invoke or promote various concepts of voluntary, individual liberty.

I am not an expert on this school of thought, nor do I have any status or prestigious credentials about libertarianism to offer. What I can offer is my own observation and keen sense of identification.

Economically, I think the movement is spot on with many issues such as auditing the Fed, getting rid of income and other unnecessary taxes on both the Fed and state level, opposition to big central banks, concern over the revolving door (back and forth between multinational corporations/lobbyists and political positions), statist/coercive policies on any level and more.

In terms of civil liberties, they are great with a majority of issues such as defending due process, opposing unequal treatment of the law, opposing aggressive foreign policy, supporting vocalized protests against abuse of state and local power, calling out the weaponization and militarization of our federal administrative agencies, opposing the media propaganda, promoting voluntary associations and assembly, and the list goes on.

In principle, the elements of voluntary association, non-aggression, localized representation, grassroots initiatives, free markets, regional banks, and decentralized currency all embody a set of concepts that sound pro-liberty, Constitutional, and likely are. 3

However, culturally, there seem to be some flaws. Unless, of course, there are various movements infiltrating some apparatus sectors of the libertarian movement. Either way, and most prevalently with LGBT activism, the legalization of drugs and legalization of prostitution ideas do not reflect the moral order of God’s natural law. This is not to say all libertarians support this. However, the umbrella of libertarianism seems to include anyone and anything that “does not harm anyone” and is “voluntary,” tolerating the pseudo-intelligentsia woke ideology that crept in behind the original movement closely associated with Ron Paul.
Where is the line drawn, though? Can anyone assert to be a libertarian because they don’t want to go to war, want local governments to have more control and privatization of the economy as much as possible?

What about staunch pro-choice, LGBT, prostitution, and drug rights? Can they be libertarian if they invoke one of these progressive issues while simultaneously declaring they are anti-vaccine, want less government all around (not a bad idea on its own), etc?

The libertarian movement should continue to be inclusive (in a non-woke manner) and promote the voluntary, non-aggression, anti-regime change ideals many sincerely promote in various ways and through a multitude of mediums. However, the party needs to adopt or become more vocal on some moral positions that are in alignment with Judeo Christian framework we were founded on (if they have already, then I refute this statement).

The concept of individual liberty is necessary, but only if it does not violate the natural rights of others. LGBT activism, hard drugs such as fentanyl and opioids, and the pouring in of hard drugs and rampant prostitution have all done spiritual damage to our youth despite this concept of “individual liberty.” Though the government has also abused the war on drugs and can use these issues as a false cover to become Orwellian, the issues should not be ignored. These issues should devolve to the states if not explicitly stated in the US Constitution. The laws of nature imply a moral order, not just rogue forms of individual liberty. This is a spiritual issue more than anything. Sometimes a consensual decision leads to spiritual death and depravity and our country should also protect these people in bondage or victims to un-Godly decisions, as well as our children.

Even if heavy-handed government policies are not enforced, at the minimum, God’s law should be promoted in the libertarian apparatus, especially with the way drugs and sexual perversion are polluting young people’s minds and cognitive development, not in a way that evangelizes but in a way that upholds the natural moral order. If we promote these values organically and work to engineer these ideas and promote the liberating power of the God of the Holy Bible, perhaps the next generation, less government would be necessary to promote and protect public health and order.

To those who already confront this and call this out thank you. This is more of an external view.

The post The Cultural Issues Tainting the Libertarian Movement appeared first on Granite Grok.

Urban pandemonium and rampant crime are transforming many American cities into seemingly third-world metropolises. Aggravating this roiling mayhem is a flagrant open-border policy that is flooding US cities with undocumented foreigners in street camps and homeless shelters.

Alarming increases in reported cases of measles, tuberculosis, polio, and leprosy are all just additional symptoms of these chaotic times. Yet “vaccine hesitancy” from so-called “disinformation” is being widely blamed for these outbreaks by government and media outlets.

Applying the rubric of COVID-19 response to illegals carrying diseases is simple enough – social distancing, masking, contact tracing, and vaccination have long been the tools to combat measles, tuberculosis, and polio as well as coronaviruses. Hundreds of thousands of foreigners from nations with inferior safeguards against contagious illnesses have overrun US borders both north and south, evading traditional protections. Establishment media and government agencies poo-poo concerns that open borders risk resurrecting diseases once thought conquered in America, instead scorning detractors as racist nativists or vax-deniers. “Real science” (and common sense) suggests that untracked and un-vaccinated immigrants may be bringing not just fentanyl and weapons into the country but deadly pathogens as well.

Disease and Misinformation Outbreaks

The widespread media spin is that measles and TB are rising because of dangerous domestic sources:  vaccine-hesitant US citizens. Common sense and science were jettisoned under the fear-mongering COVID-19 mRNA roll-out, along with liberties protecting free speech, free travel, and freedom of assembly. Americans were told a slew of unscientific lies about COVID-19 and novel vaccines by a government peddling Big Pharma products. This seeded a distrust not just of novel mRNA shots but of all vaccines, all around the world.

The jabs were not 100% safe and effective: They did not prevent infection, symptoms, or transmission. They caused myocarditis and other adverse health problems, and they were unnecessary for healthy minors despite being pressed upon them. None of this led to an increase in trust of either Big Pharma or the government.

It doesn’t help that the children of American citizens are required to be vaccinated against measles to attend New York City public schools in which illegals enroll their unvaccinated kids under an exemption. Meanwhile, vaccine proponents push to eliminate religious and philosophical exemptions for future vaccines, claiming “misinformation” is behind parental hesitancy. This will likely encourage even more parents to keep their young children home to protect them from both potentially infected foreigners and dubious medical “science.”

Outbreaks of varying diseases in Chicago, New York, and Florida all exhibit a similar pattern of government and media bias and misinformation.

Chicago’s Measles Outbreak

Measles is highly contagious, but it was reportedly eliminated from the US in 2000. In order to seed outbreaks, it must therefore be imported, find an unvaccinated population, and spread. Tens of thousands of unmonitored illegal migrants flocking over the Rio Grande are a natural vector for transmission, which is precisely what occurred in Chicago. However, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) claimed that unvaccinated illegals are the victims, not the cause. “We have no reason to believe that new arrivals are bringing infections to Chicago,” CDPH public information coordinator Jacob Martin told Newsweek. But if the disease isn’t being brough in by unvaccinated migrants, where is it coming from?

“In this case, we believe the opposite, as the first measles infection identified in Chicago was not found in the new arrivals population, and 17 different states in the U.S. are currently experiences an emergent measles outbreak of some kind due to reduced vaccination rates,” Martin continued. “Measles is already here in the United States, but he migrant population on the whole is under-vaccinated compared to the traditional Chicago population and is therefore at higher risk of infection.”

This unscientific conclusion ignores real science. How can the CDPH possibly know how many cases are transmitted by an enormous influx of untracked, unvaccinated migrants traveling from nations where measles is more common? How can it conclude that the 17 other states are not similarly exposed – or that outbreaks are attributable to “reduced vaccination rates”? There must be a host to infect the unvaccinated. Similarly, the CDC reported that “most of the recent importations involved unvaccinated Americans who got infected in the Middle East and Africa and brought measles back to the U.S.” How can the CDC accurately trace ghost migrants who avoid monitoring?

If not the cause of importation, there is no dispute that unvaccinated immigrants are a key demographic for spread: Per the CDC’s report, more than half of 2024’s cases come from the Chicago outbreak, largely from people living in migrant shelters. Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a doctor in NYC, told Fox News that the outbreaks in Chicago were predictable. “To be honest, I’m not surprised,” she said. “We have open borders with all sorts of people coming in from countries from all over the world bringing in various illnesses, viruses, disease and bacterial infections.”

Medical science confirms this logic. Open borders bypass overseas and US-entry screening, eliminate tracking, and make therapy and treatment difficult. Yet headlines proclaim that it is unvaccinated, misinformed Americans who are the threat. Such claims create a vicious cycle of yet more distrust of politicized government misinformation, increasing vaccination reticence.

New York City’s Tuberculosis

A recent tuberculosis outbreak in New York City appears to be similarly connected to illegals. In the Big Apple, the TB rate is 6.1 cases per 100,000 – more than double the national rate. According NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Commissioner Ashwin Vasan, “close to nine out of 10 (88%) of these TB cases are people born outside the United States.”

A 2019 study titled “The impact of migration on tuberculosis in the United States” concluded:

“Due to greater exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection before migration, migrants moving to low-incidence settings can experience substantially higher tuberculosis (TB) rates than the native-born population.

“….TB among non-US-born individuals now represents the majority of new TB cases. ….As TB disease can develop many years after infection, migrants exposed to high rates of tuberculous infection in their country of origin face elevated risks of future active disease after US arrival compared with US-born individuals ….with 53% of TB cases in non-US-born individuals coming from the top five countries (Mexico, the Philippines, India, Viet Nam and China), and 22% from Mexico alone.

“For the five countries of origin that represent the majority of non-US-born TB cases (Mexico, the Philippines, India, Viet Nam and China), their contributions to US TB epidemiology reflect large resident populations as well as elevated TB exposure for these individuals before arrival.”

Florida’s Leprosy Surge

The government’s disinformation campaign protecting illegals was repeated in Florida, where leprosy has been steadily rising and may be endemic, though experts do not know. Traditional risk factors include armadillo exposure and “having recently lived in leprosy-endemic countries.” Armadillos have been ruled out as a cause of Florida’s leprosy surge, yet the CDC issued a statement that seems to reach unsupportable conclusions:

“Florida, USA, has witnessed an increased incidence of leprosy cases lacking traditional risk factors. Those trends, in addition to decreasing diagnoses in foreign-born persons, contribute to rising evidence that leprosy has become endemic in the southeastern United States.

“The number of international migrants in North America increased from 27.6 million persons in 1990 to 58.7 million in 2020, so a link to migration may account for the increase in incidence of leprosy in historically nonendemic areas. Further, reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that, although the incidence of leprosy has been increasing, the rates of new diagnoses in persons born outside of the United States has been declining since 2002 (Appendix Figure).”

The CDC emphasized that “Contact tracing is critical to identifying sources and reducing transmission.” Illegals are not traced or effectively treated. The referenced appendix figure is titled “Case Report of Leprosy in Central Florida, USA, 2022,” but only includes data through 2010 – hardly a very good measure of current immigration conditions, let alone a sound premise for reaching conclusions that immigrants cannot be a cause of spread.

Politicizing disease outbreaks against Americans to justify yet more dangerous illegal immigration ensures greater vaccine hesitancy. One needn’t hold a doctorate to see that “real science” is being doctored.

I just saw a story about Candidates for Governor, and Shaun Fife was not mentioned, so I searched DuckDuckGo and Google and got a few results. He needs to get out there in the media. Between Morse and Ayotte, I will be writing in “None of the Above” again.

My litmus test is being able to actually support someone enough to vote “without holding my nose.”

Well, I just searched FreeSpoke and Noticed Shaun Fife is under “The Maji Party.” I Like what I have read about Shaun so far, but I am not too sure about the Maji Party, and I will not be alone.

“The Idea for MAJI came from the failed election of 2020.”

“We are gathering Anons and other citizens of the electorate to put GOD FIRST.”

I did not know if “Anons” were actually short for QAnons, and now I know it is; I looked it up. Early on, I followed QAnon. I actually jokingly used a Star Trek reference “I am Q”, until it went off the tracks. And then that guy in Horns at the Capital on January 6th certainly finished taking it right off the rails into the bushes!

I believe in what Shaun Fife is saying as a platform, and hopefully, the Anon connection can be overlooked by independents. That depends on how many independents have any signs of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome).

I can overlook the Anon connection because I know the Majority of those people are not wearing horns, as I did not when I first followed QAnon. But those unhappy Republicans against RINOs, conservative Democrats, if there are any left, and conservative “Undeclared” voters may be chased away by the Anon connection.

Either way, Shaun Fife needs to get out there more and push his agenda, which I do believe is worth supporting and could, at this point, even pass my smell test.

I hate throwing a vote away, but I can no longer vote anti-democrat without actually supporting the candidate.

It feels good to vote for people you believe in. As a young libertarian voting for the first time, I believed in John Anderson, then again for Ross Perot. Then, I voted Democrat in the Primary for Tom Laughlin (Billy Jack), but he did not make it past the primary, so back to Ross Perot.

Then, when Clinton started stealing sportsmen’s money and redirecting government organizations to Animal Rights, I became anti-Democrat and voted that way in every election until this year’s primary.

If Shaun Fife does not get out there in the media and push his Working Man’s Agenda without name recognition, he will not stand a chance. If he stays on the tracks, I will be able to vote for him or write him in if I have to.

By now, anyone who’s not politically asleep at the wheel ought to know that the American Library Association (ALA) is no friend of any community of decent people.  Please talk to people like Beth Scaer and her husband or Rep Arlene Quaratiello or Cindy Bennett if you want to learn more.

Covid has taught many of us that the decision-making behavior of lower levels of government is often yoked to grant money from either higher levels of government or NGOs with intentions repugnant to the values of decent people.  That’s a big part of why secession is a topic worthy of polite and meaningful discussion, no matter how you, the reader, feel about it.

Though I think I’ve beaten the dead horse enough, I’ll still point out that 11/19/21’s unfortunate event in the Joint Fiscal Committee was about taking the wrong money, but let’s move on with another quick point.  Campaign finance data is popularly sought for obvious reasons.

Moving on, let the readers be reminded of the role and responsibilities of the executive council, and Wheeler has two bad actors from the enemy camp primarying each other to become his November opponent.  One of them is Alderman Kelly, his previous opponent, and the mayor’s lap dog. While she is equally unworthy of office, ANY office, let’s, for now, focus on her opponent, Ms Melanie Levesque.

I know some eyes are already rolling, but to that, I will point out a few things with the lesser one being that her birthday is coming up this month.  If you happen to run into her, by all means, wish her a happy one.  And I would also suggest reminding her that Alderman Kelly, Wheeler, and Kevin are all younger than her and always will be!  The other item, though for the attention of ALL Wheeler constituents, is a local matter concerning her because it’s about the Brookline library.

If you poke around enough to learn who the power players, um, I mean “trustees,” are, they are no ordinary members of the enemy camp.  While data in Marylyn Todd’s Nosey Neighbor App is not necessarily admissible in a court of law, it’s another example that the Party of Diversity has no diversity of thought in the Board of Trustees.  Trustee Carol Schreck, whose term ends next year, can also be found here.

All you have to do is see who the captain of the team is and who her right-hand woman is!  “So what,” you might say.  I received a tip about Ms Melanie’s apparently relentless interest in “utilizing” a local with some physical challenges, to put it respectfully.  It was said that family members claim the existing accommodations that the library currently provides are perfectly acceptable. However, as mentioned earlier, now comes the ALA and some free money that the Brookline library might qualify for. They just need an excuse to apply for it. Family members are keenly aware of their flesh and blood being used as a tool.  If Melanie is successful in securing that grant money, it’s as guaranteed as death and taxes that there will be a press release promoting her accomplishment just before it’s time to vote, either in the primary or in November.

There are variables, such as how long the paperwork process takes and who wins their primary, but the voters in District 5 should know that Alderman Kelly pushing for federal grant money bringing commuter rail to Nashua or Melanie pushing for ALA money infusing their agenda into the Brookline library are the kind of grant-chasing behavior that needs to be kept out of the government body who’s responsible for the oversight of the movement of YOUR money.

We have been so blessed with op-eds and content that for the rest of today, we will be publishing a post every hour. Typically we add new content every two hours, beginning at 6 am and ending at 10 pm each day. Today, we are publishing a lot of additional content.

Beginning at 2pm we will have a new post ever hour on the hour. The purpose is to off-load the backlog of submissions.

If they sit in the folder too long, they might time out (no longer relevant) or might never see the light of day (lost in the shuffle). It happens. I can’t publish everything, but very little of what I get isn’t at least worth sharing to see what the community thinks.

So here we go, and apologies in advance for the firehouse.

Tomorrow (Monday), we will go back to the regular schedule.

And hey! Happy Mothers Day!

(TU – Londonderry) The Town of Londonderry has dismissed a complaint by Kristine Perez against Councilor Farrell, stating that Councilor Farrell did not violate the ethics code. Kristine Perez filed the following complaint:

On 4/22/24 at approximately 8 PM Councilman John Farrell exited the Moose Hill Conference room from the rear exit. He immediately approached me and in aggressive manner, pointed his finger directly in my face and yelled “Go ahead report me to the AG’s office. Bring it on bring it on” he then entered the men’s lavatory and when he exited, he again yelled “Bring it on, bring it on” waving his arms in the air. I responded, “you’re being an ass” to which he stated “you’re the ass just look in the mirror.” Please review the video tapes from the town hall, “Back lot, hall entrance B” for this time period.  I felt extremely threatened by his aggressive actions and feel it meets the legal definition of assault without battery.

Complaint filed 5/3/2024 by Kristine Perez

The complaint stemmed from an interaction Perez had with Councilor John Farrell in the Town Hall after speaking during public comment.

Kristine Perez spoke at the 4/22/2024 Town Council Meeting asking for public comment to be added to the Town Council meetings, concerns of charter violations and the planning department reorganization.

Kristin Perez speak at public comment, 4/22/2024

Below is a video of the interaction between Kristine Perez and Councilor John Farrell. The video has no audio. Councilor John Farrell was contacted for comment but did not respond.

Video from Town Hall, 4/22/2024

Shortly after opening the 5/6/2024 Town Council Meeting, the council made a motion to enter Non-Public Secession under RSA 91A. The Council left the room and returned 7 minutes later. The council did not seal the meeting minutes. The Council also did not comment on the non-public session. According to the meeting minutes, the session was to discuss the complaint filed by Kristine Perez. The Town attorney “assumed the truth of the allegations” but found that Kristine Perez “does not allege conduct that would violate the Code of Ethics or fall within the scope of the Code of Ethics”. Chairman Chad Franz entertained a motion made by Vice Chairman Combes to close the matter with no further action based on the findings and advice supplied by Attorney Carrier. Councilor Faber seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously, with Councilor Farrell abstaining.”

 

Minutes from Non-Public Session on 5.6.24
Following the pledge of allegiance during the regularly scheduled Town Council meeting on 5.6.24, a motion was made by Vice Chairman Combes to enter a non-public session pursuant to RSA 91:A-3 II(l) for the consideration of legal advice provided by legal counsel. It was seconded by Councilor Dunn and a roll call vote was taken, with each member of the Town Council voting in favor.

All 5 members of the Council left the Moose Hill Room and moved to the TM Conference room on the second floor of Town Hall along with the Town Manager and Assistant Town Manager.

Attorney Megan Carrier indicated she had reviewed the Code of Ethics complaint made by Kristine Perez against Councilor Farrell, which had been received by the Town Manager and Chairman Franz on May 3, 2024 and referred by them to Attorney Carrier. She stated she reviewed the Code of Ethics, which requires complaints to be investigated. For purposes of her analysis, Attorney Carrier assumed the truth of the allegations. Having done so, she concluded that Ms. Perez’s complaint does not allege conduct that would violate the Code of Ethics or fall within the scope of the Code of Ethics. She provided a list of prohibited conduct, including conflicts of interest, a failure to recuse in quasi-judicial actions, a failure to disclose, unfair personal use of town property, misuse of confidential information, improper gifts, and failure to cooperate with an investigation. Attorney Carrier indicated that Ms. Perez does not allege such prohibited conduct in her complaint.

Chairman Franz entertained a motion made by Vice Chairman Combes to close this matter with no further action based on the findings and advice supplied by Attorney Carrier. Councilor Faber seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously, with Councilor Farrell abstaining. Chairman Franz asked the Town Manager what the next steps are? The Town Manager indicated the minutes would be unsealed unless the Council makes a motion to seal them upon returning to public session. A discussion followed whether to seal Attorney Carrier’s advice. The Council determined that neither the minutes nor Attorney Carrier’s advice should be sealed.

At approximately 7:10 p.m. the Councilors returned to the Moose Hill Chambers and the meeting.

A motion was made by Vice Chair Combes to end the non-public session and return to the public meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilor Faber and all voted in favor by roll call vote.
Minutes taken and prepared by: Mike Malaguti

When public comment was opened Councilor Farrell immediately asked to speak and addressed comments made at prior town council meetings. Farrell referenced the alleged charter violation in regard to voting on the town budget. Farrell stated that the town council does not adopt or vote on the budget.

Grokster Ed’d in March, pointed out how WMUR’s Political Director Adam Sexton believed it was “interesting” when NH State Senator Becky Whitley had a hissy fit when someone said something that broke her Narrative concerning the use of the perfectly legal and applicable  phrase “illegal alien.”

Interesting discussion in @TheNHSenate Judiciary Committee today as @BeckyWhitleyNH asks @SenatorGannon not to use the term “illegal alien” as they debate a bill dealing with immigration issues #NHPolitics #WMUR pic.twitter.com/xodktsXknh

— Adam Sexton (@AdamSextonWMUR) March 12, 2024

He followed that up in another post, “The Becky Whitleys Are The Dehumanizers,” where he tore her a new one—outlining her hypocrisy of holding up a “Principle” but in “defending” it, jumped right into the vat of boiling excrement. She certainly refused to “maintain the dignity of every individual with whom we interact” by putting on a “Karen on steroids” performance. Civility, Becky? But WAIT, there’s more!

But I didn’t see or hear of anyone commenting on the last bit she said. Listen again at 1:05 for what is in our future if she is elected:

“The Administration has actually issued many memos, including from the top official of Customs and Border Protection, that we should not be using that term.”

Got that?  She’s like that old-time spinster school marm wrapping our knuckles because we refuse to obey.

In doing so, she let us know that she’s all about doing the “Democrat Lockstep Limbo”…

SideNote: Dontcha just love the visual of bending over backward to support the indefensible by allowing her own speech to be determined by some “important” bureaucrat – who happens to be in charge of keeping our southern border open to the diseased, the drug mules, the armed cartels, and the thousands of central and south American gang members (remember the cops being assaulted in NYC by our, as Biden and other Democrats have named, “newcomers”?)

…her philosophy. Her gums flapping, eyes blazing, and determination to correct our backward ways made it quite clear that her fellow “mansplaining” Senators were beneath her contempt. But we are to have our wallets fleeced by these criminals that flout our laws – after all, being an AWFL (Affluent White Female Liberal) demands that her morality is superior to any others.

“Everything is free in America” – except your speech if you are a citizen paying the taxes for all that. Becky is seeing to that as well. But she can’t take credit for being original for that.

Guess who, in the Live Free or Die State, is in charge of what speech we all are allowed to use in Her Excellency’s hearing? No, not her, although she tried hard to be a mouthpiece for the Democrat propaganda machine. Yep, see above.

You see, I’ve been writing for years that the Democrats have been trying to turn Live Free or Die into Washington DC Democratland; what happens there, they want here.

So remember, when government officials, be they Democrat government workers or a Progressive / Socialist / Democrat Guv named Becky Whitley, BY DEFINITION, you are seeing a Fascist. After all, fascism puts the State FIRST and individuals don’t exist. She gave us the best example possible…

…She demanded that individuals bow down to DC, give up their speech, and in doing so, give up their minds and conscience to the State.

And the Left gets upset when we on the Right talk about Tyrannical Govt? How bad can it get if they demand to control, as she did, our minds?

Yes, I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel and it wasn’t an oncoming train.  I announced at last year’s Groktoberfest that I was going into semi-retirement because I had to step back from the ‘Grok and place my family first for a while. I handed all the reins over to Steve.

Fortunately, the medical issues that best TMEW and the Grandson are now under control, and the Granddaughter / Foster Child has been returned to the Eldest and Daughter-in-Law, with two lines (from others) said by DCYF workers:

• “This should have NEVER gone to court” (e.g., the parents weren’t the problem – the child was, and now DCYF is supplying that needed help at home.)
• “I think we picked on the wrong family”; ya think putting me on the stand on a whim was a great idea after I had wargamed out a bunch of scenarios for a couple week AND you failed to follow The Lawyer’s Maxim of “Never ask a question of a witness that you already don’t know the answer”?

Yeah, I have to say that it was one of the BEST DAYS of my life. The Judge, however, was not amused.

So all that is now in the background and I will be starting to return to writing (slowly). However, know that Steve will still hold the reins.

Over one hundred and twenty colleges and universities across the United States and the world saw the planning of spontaneous protests this past month and with it the staunch capitalists at NCAA headquarters seized the opportunity to form a new sports league.  The league will be named the Collegiate Radical Interscholastic Protest League (CRIPL) and will be the first ever truly trans-ed sports team endeavor by the NCAA.

Inspired by the tremendous athleticism on display by many of the protestors, NCAA officials, anticipating these protests to occur regularly every four years like the Olympics and presidential elections, anticipate three seasons of preparatory play with a national championship held quadrannually.

Early favorites among the schools clearly show an edge to the Ivy League institutions, which have been falling lately in the rankings as preferred destinations by high school students concerned about employment after college. Early odds favor Columbia, UPenn, and Dartmouth as having the talent to go the distance, while on the West Coast, UCLA has emerged after weeks of high-level civil unrest.

Boston’s Emory Board University, famed for its Cosmetology Ph.D. program, has already hit the ground marching, meeting on the greens outside the quad for daily singles. These dedicated student-athletes are up at the crack of noon to hone their skills and take their game to the next level.

Questions about funding the teams and the league have many concerned that other programs will need to be cut however, sizeable donations have already been offered to create a trust fund from which the schools will get equal compensation across the board so as to create a perfectly fair and socially equitable pay scale disallowing advantages given to larger programs.  However some students anticipating a career as professional protestors argue their future hopes and dreams should not be limited.

“I’ve been protesting since I was a little kid, so I’ve always known this was my passion.  I never imagined I would have the opportunity to do it for a living,” states Yale freshman Uriah Goldenspoon.  Goldenspoon’s parents tell Bananas Media he was a uniquely anti-authoritarian child despite being given virtually anything and everything a child could want.  Mrs. Goldenspoon recalls one summer vacation when Uriah refused to get on the plane to Cancun after throwing a stage five tantrum in the jetway upon learning he would not be flying coach with the rest of the patrons, many of whom applauded after seeing Uriah buckled into his first-class seat.

“We knew pretty early on he was likely to be an insurgent somewhere in the third world when we got a call from his teacher saying he was community organizing the other students to stage a revolt after the school refused to put in electric chargers for tricycles” Mr. Goldenspoon recounted.  “We also found a stash of books under his bed when he was eight.  First, it was Mao’s Little Red Book.  Then we found Rules for Radicals and, finally, Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit.  I’m forty-eight, and I still can hardly make out what those guys were saying.  We got him a poster of Brittany Spears in a bathing suit only to have him paste a picture of Che Guevara’s head over hers.  It was very concerning.”

Not concerned are Goldman’s non-student coaches, who anticipate that his ability to break through a police line with a garbage can lid is unparalleled.

“Uriah has serious quick-twitch muscles, he’s very explosive.  Since the league won’t let us use actual explosives, he’s a game changer.  Most of the guys we have out here are severely malnourished vegans who can barely get through the ‘hey-hey ho-ho’ chants, so we’re hoping Uriah doesn’t get picked up in the portal before the championship season.  We know the comrades over at Georgetown have been courting him online with an extra-large tent and a fully-financed waterbed.”

Speaking of water beds the SEC has one school, North Georgia State, which will be headed up by a coaching legend.  His simple philosophy of “ground and pound” is sure to get the attention of the more finesse driven styles of the other schools.

“I’m here to build character” states the coach who famously has a corner booth at Beef O’Brady’s where he needs help opening the door due to the number of championship rings he wears on his turning hand.

Rivals Alabama State School for the Legally Blonde have asked his coaching nemesis to captain their squad; however, they were turned down as no self-respecting southerner would be caught dead at a college protest.  ‘Merica!

Many of the teams were concerned about mascots, of course, so the race for inoffensive team names was a heated one.

The NCAA pre-season top ten rankings are:

1. UCLA Street Rats
2. Columbia Counter-Insurgents
3. U Penn Pennophiles
4. Dartmouth Big Green New Dealers
5. North Georgia State Notaries
6. Cal-Berkeley Commissars
7. Portland State Queers
8. Evergreen State Sociopaths
9. University of Chicago Community Organizers

Progressive politicians have taken over Maine and are making the most of their time in power. These people, who live on the extreme left of society, know that the clock is ticking, and they must initiate as much change as they can before the people realize they were wrong, giving these people the wheel and taking it away.

In their time in Augusta, they have legalized marijuana, paved the way for thousands of illegal migrants to come to Maine, passed the most liberal abortion law in the country, established Maine as a sanctuary state for abortion and transgender care, and moved Maine into the top slot of the most taxed states in America.

Because of the size of Maine and the shortage of law enforcement personnel to keep it secure, the Progressives have made the state a perfect environment for the Chinese cartel to infiltrate and establish hundreds of illegal pot farms. They are imposing restrictions on the lobster industry, making it difficult for these hard-working seamen to make a living in one of the state’s oldest industries while relaxing the enforcement of laws, making it easier for illegal residents to survive and prosper.

Aside from the apparent drop in quality of life for Mainers, one of the most harmful elements of the new Leftist direction is the precipitous decline in the quality of education. U.S. News has published its rankings of the states and looks at many elements that a person could use to determine the desirability of a state. In Maine’s case, it has dropped in the ranking of every aspect in 2024 compared to the state in 2018. This article was not good news for Maine but terrible news for the Progressives who think their vision is the proper choice for the future.

The ranking for education in Maine is not good news for Governor Mills, the state Department of Education, the Progressive Party implementing the changes in education, or the students shortchanged by the system. I acknowledge that the pandemic occurred during this time, but it is a constant in all states. The ranking of Maine’s quality of education dropped from 19th in 2018 to 43rd in 2024—a fall from the top half of states to nearly the worst. Although Maine’s overall education is not dead last, U.S. News did rate the state’s public schools as the worst in the nation, following an overview of all public schools in the country.

The news outlet ranked schools based on six metrics, including college readiness, which is weighted heaviest, student performance in advanced, college-level classes, performance on standardized tests, and the graduation rate. The outlet also used one Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) metric to measure schools, ranking them based on the performance of “underserved students,” meaning low-income, black, and Hispanic students.

Two areas that showed promise are Equality and the Overall Environment, though the ranking was poor for air and water quality. Maine had ten times the number of water violations than the national average.

This article by U.S. News is a damning condemnation of the decisions and policies of the people responsible for these results, and those people are the WOKE and Progressives. We must replace these people before their impact affects another generation. The Progressive movement is misnamed and is actually regressive. Their goal is the destruction of America. There is no other option. They must be replaced.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Notable events since 2021 include:

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

 

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