Just a heads up regarding the newsletter. We have seen some small improvements in email delivery as a result of the ongoing tinkering with the SPF and DKIM, but nowhere near where we need ot be. Gmail is still a problem, so we’ll keep at it.

We did change the email “from address” back to newsletter@granitegrok.com. I have also added a second automated release.

If you are receiving it (many of you are still trapped in the SPF DKIM problem) beginning this morning, you should get a morning and evening newsletter. This is so content normally trapped at the bottom of the current distribution gets a chance to be near the top.

The morning update will include the previous day’s nightcap, and posts published the previous evening. The evening newsletter will start to arrive around dinnertime (ish) and should lead with the 4 PM post and then back through the afternoon into the morning content.

If you are signed up for the newsletter and still not getting the emails please keep visiting the site a few times a day to stay caught up. We have had a rise in quality op-eds as well as consistent content from a handful of regular contributors, and we don’t want you to miss their words.

In other news, I’m ust waiting on my webby mistress of internet design to tell me she’s ready to complete our site rebuild. I keep hearing soon, but we’re still on Grok 3.0, and there are a bunch of front and backend fixes we’ve skipped that the rebuild should resolve.

Once the new battle station is fully operational, we’ll work in the ad-free VIP, and I have someone in the wings waiting to use the new site to roll out a GrokApp.

We will keep working on the newsletter issue. If I can’t solve the plug-in-to-server-to-security-verification issue, we may need to go back to MailChimp or something similar. It is an added cost, but I’d rather figure out how to pay for that and ensure content delivery than the reverse.

 

The post Housekeeping: Daily Grok Newsletter Update and Other Business … appeared first on Granite Grok.

It doesn’t take much to twist the panties of the average all-in-leftist. Fragile is an understatement. They are tightly wound emotional time bombs with more triggers than a gun store. Speaking of which, if you’d like to see them snap like a dry twig, cut a school budget, or add this optional funding for public schools.

Wyoming school districts that want to store firearms in their schools and train staff how to use them would get $10,000 each to help pay for it under a bill moving through the state House.

The House’s Education Committee on Monday voted to forward Senate File 86 to the House floor. The committee also agreed to boost funding from $100,000 to $480,000 — enough to provide each Wyoming school district with $10,000.

That sum is chump change (estimates are you need at least 25K to properly train one school staff on gun safety and proper tactics), and supporters admit that, but they see this as a way to get things started. A little fiscal jump start on a cold Wyoming  morning. Encourage them to find additional funds or to even consider that if you have armed staff, and these days it makes sense to do that, professional training lowers liability costs and you’re might deter FBI proxies from using your school to advance the Left’s gun control agenda.

Training and storage of proper fierams at schools?

I can hear twigs snapping, but wait, there’s more! “House Bill 125, … would repeal gun-free zones in Wyoming schools.” You would still need a carry permit to enter school grounds armed, but that’s a requirement of federal law and one of the few good reasons to get a carry license or permit (the other being reciprocity).

In New Hampshire, you don’t need a permit to carry open or concealed, but you do need one if you find yourself armed on school property. That’s not advice. The federal allowance for this has never been tested in our state (to my knowledge), but on paper, if you have a carry permit or license on you and have a firearm on you or in your vehicle and you need to pick up a kid at school, that’s not illegal.

It shouldn’t be illegal. Law-abiding citizens have the right to keep and bear arms, but in all instances, that’s your call, knowing that the injustice system likes to make examples of people even if they just bankrupt someone on the way to losing their case.

And keep in mind that your state probably won’t step in to defend you unless it is very red and very pro-gun. New Hampshire is pro-gun (at the moment), but I have zero faith that our local or state “officials” in the justice department would get between any of us and an out-of-control federal prosecutor. None. And that is entirely on them. State funding of firearms training so adults can carry and protect students and staff in most states? Not likely. So good for you, Wyoming – which already allows armed staff with mandatory training.

If you are looking for some extra money to help fund training, fire a diversity official and defund their office. That’s easily 125K to start (give the extra back to the taxpayers). If you don’t have those, don’t hire one and fire some other overpaid, useless administrator, starting with the ones who object to training and arming staff. Yes, you can fire more than one.

Every district has a plethora of dead weight “middle managers” who make teaching more difficult and less effective. You could end up with safer schools and kids who can read, and what’s not great about that?

 

 

The post Night Cap: Try This Simple “Trick” to Make Democrats Lose Their Tiny Narrow Minds appeared first on Granite Grok.

Watch for The New Hampshire School Funding Fairness Project. As I listened to their presentation, it became apparent to me that this organization is all about raising state taxes with no guarantees it would lower our property taxes. 

Dear Representative Maggiore, Balboni and Senator Altschiller:

I attended a community meeting in Hampton hosted by SAU21 and SAU90. The presentation was given by the New Hampshire School Funding Fairness Project. I was somewhat familiar with school funding, but I’m always open to learning more and listening to people who want to discuss this important subject.

Mr. Tobin expressed his concern about residents paying higher property taxes, which fund a large portion of the school budget. He discussed the state’s obligation to fund public schools in depth. A large portion comes directly from residents through their property taxes. Mr. Tobin also discussed lawsuits filed to shift more of the tax burden to the state.

They also offered a few ideas on how to increase state money going to our local public schools:

1) In 2015 Business taxes were lowered by the legislature. The state could go back to the higher tax rate on businesses, and divert that money to the public schools. In other words, raise business taxes.

2) Support SWEPT taxes which would mean the state would collect the property taxes and redistribute some of those taxes to the receiver towns. In other words, redistribute some of our taxes to other school districts.

3) The State Interest and Dividends taxes will be going away. Instead of eliminating those taxes on residents, continue to tax them, and then send that money to the local schools.

They also mentioned pending legislation like HB1583, which would increase the amount the state pays per student.

Here are my concerns about this organization and what it presented:
1) I heard their plea to lower property taxes for homeowners. I think that is a legitimate concern for those who’ve seen their property taxes continually increase. But those decisions are made at the local level. Fiscal responsibility needs to be a priority. We should first make sure budgets are fiscally responsible first.

Melanson Heath is an accounting firm that was hired by the Windham School District several years ago. They were paid between $15 to $20k  to identify accounting practice deficiencies that were present in the district. They helped uncover the misuse of tax dollars from employees having district electronics personally engraved, numerous stale dated checks not accounted for, and unauthorized use of the treasurer’s stamp. The district hired a new superintendent who worked hard to clean up the mess found by the audit and identified more than 130 different items that needed to be addressed.

More money from the state wouldn’t have fixed this problem.

2) Should local businesses shoulder more of the burden as they suggested? This is very concerning, considering local businesses are already paying property taxes and business taxes. After COVID took a strain on our local businesses, is this a good time to raise their taxes?

When the business taxes were lowered in 2015, the state received higher tax revenue. Why would they propose increasing business taxes when lowering them increased tax revenue? That didn’t make sense.

3) Continuing the interest and dividends tax is going to hit retirees and those on fixed incomes, too.  Taking our money out of a different pocket still means that they are taxing individuals.

4) I also asked about HB1583. Nothing in the law would require a reduction in property taxes. They mentioned this would be up to local school boards. But this could increase spending and taxes without ever decreasing property taxes.

If I am elected to the North Hampton budget committee, my priority for our schools will always be hiring and retaining good teachers and paraprofessionals. They are the ones who directly impact our students. With declining enrollments, there was no discussion on how to retain families who are seeking alternatives.

One person last night commented that in Massachusetts, they not only have high property taxes, but they also have high state taxes. Would all of this impose additional state taxes that will not have any real impact on property taxes?

I am committed to quality public schools but in a fiscally responsible way. If there are wasteful expenses, let’s identify them and eliminate them. At the same time, we need to support our teachers and staff in order to retain them. Right now, retention is one of the biggest issues facing schools and towns. Sometimes, it’s not about cutting a budget; it’s about redirecting resources to where they will have the biggest impact.

Sometimes it’s not about adding a new tax burden at the state level, it’s about doing the hard work of finding ways to make our public schools better and more efficient. As families leave, who is asking them: WHY?

My questions to you as my current state representatives and senator is this: 
1) What are your goals for public education?
2) Do you support raising business taxes, which could result in tax revenue decreasing?
3) Do you support continuing the interest and dividends tax that could impact retirees and those on a fixed income the most?
4) Do you support redirecting our local state property taxes to other school districts through the SWEPT tax? 

I’ve been committed to improving public schools in New Hampshire for almost two decades now. Private schools have invited me to sit down and look at ways to improve the quality of education their students have been receiving. That could mean a change to the curriculum or pedagogy. It could mean professional development that supports teachers in the classroom by improving their academic content knowledge. Some of this can be accomplished within existing budgets.

I think it’s important that your constituents know exactly where you stand on this organization and their goals to increase state taxes.

Sincerely, 
Ann Marie Banfield

The post NH School Funding Fairness Project = HIGHER State Taxes appeared first on Granite Grok.

Despite four indictments with ninety-one charges, over 90% of mainstream media coverage rated “negative” since 2018, and attempts to garland albatrosses around his neck in every possible manner (Russia collusion, BLM riots, COVID, social media censorship, law-fare, etc.) Donald Trump had perhaps the most dominant Super Tuesday since Ronald Reagan when the big event began back in 1984.

In state after state, Trump is receiving well over the required fifty-percent threshold to win delegates, with many states preferring him at over 80%.  States where Trump took more than 70% of the vote include:

• Alabama (83.2)
• Arkansas (76.8)
• Maine (70.9)
• Oklahoma (81.8)
• Tennessee (77.3)
• Texas (77.9)
• California (78.6)
• Alaska (87.6)

By comparison, Donald Trump in 2016 took in the following:

• Alabama (43)
• Arkansas (33)
• Maine (33)
• Oklahoma (28)
• Tennessee (39)
• Texas (27)
• California (75)
• Alaska (34)

One can argue the 2016 field of candidates was considerably stronger, with John Kasich, Ted Cruz, and Marcio Rubio all garnering larger numbers than Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron Desantis.  However, Desantis was likely the most popular governor outside of Phil Scott thanks to his freedom-loving stance on COVID policy and aggressive pushing back against Disney’s sexualizing children and banning DEI across the state.  Ramaswamy was a relative unknown whose kamikaze approach to debating was less popular than anticipated.  While Haley’s popularity seems more linked to her insider status than capability, she also suffered from ad campaigns exposing her equivocating (re: lying) on major issues.

Furthermore, advertisement spending is a fraction of what it was for Trump in 2016, having shelled out a paltry $65,000 to date compared to 2016, when he spent over $1.5 million in just six states.  Rather than making him unelectable, it seems the constant negative coverage and clear law-fare attacks are having the opposite effect, acting more like millions of dollars in campaign funding.

Psychoanalysis of an individual is a risky practice, let alone diagnosing an entire country. However, the clear message from the American voter to those who operate the machinery on air and in the Beltway is – Donald Trump is our guy. He was in 2020, and he’s even more popular now than when he shocked the nation by upsetting elite D.C. darling and heavy poll favorite Hillary Clinton.

Of course, activist Vermont bucked the trend by voting for Haley by the narrowest of margins. Her 50% to 46% win says less about Trump than it does about the Green Mountain state being thoroughly out of touch with the rest of the country, aside from the 98% Democrat-registered (and psychopath capitol of the US) District of Columbia. How out of touch?

Even states where activist judges attempted to remove Trump from the ballot gave him decisive victories. Colorado had 63.3% for the former president compared to Haley’s 33.4%. Maine had Trump at 70.9% compared to Haley’s 26.4%, and the Supreme Court even swept the floor 9-0 in favor of Trump, the voter, and the Constitution.

For all of their failings, social media and smartphones deserve a lot of credit for allowing people to share information at lightning speeds.  Videos, memes, and alternative articles offering more to the otherwise highly curated mainstream narratives have allowed Americans to form much more informed decisions than in Super Tuesdays past.  Americans are more aware now than ever that their institutions have not only been attempting to brainwash and force insider-chosen candidates preferred by the elite class who owned and controlled most of the information highway system.  That is no longer the case.

Despite constant messaging from the media-industrial complex, the United States voters seem to be united once again in a response message the plutocracy refuses to hear from a diverse public tired of the dystopian hellscape they’ve wrought in our once great country.  We want Donald Trump to represent us.  Like the American Bald Eagle soaring over the skies, the hands that filled out their ballots are holding up another glorious bird in response to eight years of chicanery and corruption being shoved down their throats.

From sea to shining sea and all the states in between, last night’s stamp of approval for the embattled former president could not be any clearer.

Note that this is not meant to be a day-by-day update about what’s going on.  Rather, to highlight uncomfortable truths about the actual nature of the conflict, deep-history background, and so on, as well as to show the at-present immutable nature of Islamic hatred of Jews and why that matters to today’s events.

Fundamental to understanding the widespread destruction is the fact that rocket launchers and tunnels, etc., are everywhere:

 

 

Look how many locations or rockets launchers, terror tunnel shafts and weapons storage sites were found in one single neighborhood in Gaza City in last 2 days by the 401th armored brigade. Now you understand how much this place is infested with terror (above & under the ground).

Also, a war crime.  But condemnation only for Jews, not for the Arabs:

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/weaponized-ambulances.mp4

Hamas has weaponized ambulances. The terrorists use ambulances as mobile units to maintain freedom of operation in the war zone. They go from the combat zone, to hospitals with tunnels, then into the tunnels to command centers and back to combat.
This is the modus operandi.
This is a war crime.
Abuse of the medical mission jeopardizes civilians in need and they intentionally use protected symbols to conceal their actions.
International organizations, such as ICRC WHO must publicly condemn these actions and hold Hamas accountable.
So far they are silent.

I wonder where all this money – $1.5 million – found in Khan Yunis tunnels was going:

 

 

Oh, wait, to pay the bill in Qatar?

For SPA – $26.5 thousand.

ON INTERSECTIONALITY / LEFTIST SUPPORT

Video here (somewhat long so not downloaded):

The pro-Hamas mob attached itself to a women’s march in Toronto for Womens History Month. The bitter irony is that Palestinian women suffer terribly under Hamas:

Women are subjected to honor killings
There is no law in Gaza that prohibits violence against women, including sexual violence
A women’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s
Hamas enforces a “code of modesty” that severely restricts basic freedoms of expression and movement
Women have virtually no pathways to financial independence

Hamas’s 1988 charter states that Muslim women are important in that they “manufacture men.”

You have to wonder… the Left has the vapors over the male-dominated world of the “Handmaiden’s Tale” yet seems to have no issue with the above.  Cognitive dissonance here.  Related:

OK, IMHO a good sentiment.  But then I noticed something interesting, to wit that once the chant had a life of its own the leaders stopped, and started observing the crowd.  I’ve watched similar events, such as when the police are arresting someone, and the chant goes up Let him/her go!

There’s a reason for chants: they suspend thinking.

A key part of the new antisemitism: “Never trust a Jew” ~ Elder Of Ziyon – Israel News

The Jews who witnessed the attacks are cross-checked with forensic evidence and photos and videos, verified with other witnesses, and anything that doesn’t pass their supposedly professional standards is not even mentioned. But the Palestinian accusations are published in detail, with absolutely zero corroborating evidence. Their use of the word “allegations” does not water down the next sentence where the “cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of Palestinians in detention” is published as fact.

The Arab enemy plays dirty. It cheats and it lies and it inverts the truth. But we know what happened. “The evidence is abundant and beyond compelling. Through survivors coming forward, witnesses, video footage and independent analysis, we know that Hamas’s use of sexual violence including rape, mutilation, and brutality was not an anomaly. It was a premeditated part of its strategy to purposefully use sexual violence as a weapon against innocent civilians,” said Democratic Rep.

It’s been speculated that one reason The Potato is handling Iran with kids’ gloves is because of the threat of terror in the US by such cells.

Biden says Gaza stampede complicates hostage deal, adds US investigating ‘competing’ claims by Israel, Hamas | World Israel News

So, so, so pandering to the Islamic vote base.  Remember from the last post:

US launches unprecedented investigation of company producing Iron Dome parts | Israel National News – Arutz Sheva

And I don’t believe in coincidences:

Iran greenlights massive Hezbollah attack on Israel, Arabic report says – The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com)

My theory?  That through “back channels” The Potato (and his master, Obama) have told Iran they’re going to cut off aid to Israel because of “war crimes”.  Also, land-grab crimes:

When the US supported Zionist territorial claims – opinion – The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com) (link in original):

Of course, one could ask Blinken whether “old” settlements are legal or whether it is only “any expansion” of Jewish communities that would be illegal. That, however, might trip him up. What could also stump him up is former secretary of state Madeleine Albright’s television interview with Matt Lauer on NBC’s Today show on October 1, 1997. When pressed on the legal aspect of building beyond the Green Line, she admitted, “It’s legal.”

Also, State Department spokesman James Rubin declared on September 17, 1997, that while moving Jews into the Ras al-Amud housing project “is not helpful…we don’t think this is a question of law.”

Fifteen years earlier, in February 1981, president Ronald Reagan stated that the settlements were “not illegal,” despite the infamous 1978 Hansell Memorandum that president Jimmy Carter demanded be formulated.

A CONCLUDING THOUGHT FOR THIS POST

Much is being made of the recent calamity regarding aid and Gazan casualties as a mob pushed to get to the trucks.

First, from this post:

 

 

Here’s the background to the deadly stampede. Hamas is hijacking aid, UNRWA is covering up for it, so Israel is coordinating humanitarian operations to get aid directly to civilians in northern Gaza. Thursday’s convoy was the fourth night in a row we were securing.

Israel wants humanitarian aid to reach Gazan civilians in need. Because this is a war against Hamas, which started this war—not the people of Gaza, suffering from this war Hamas dragged them into.

The IDF’s initial review of the stampede incident confirms most Palestinians were killed or injured as a result of the stampede, with civilians trampled to death and injured as they charged to the aid convoy. No strike was carried out by the IDF towards the aid convoy.

The initial review indicates that following warning shots fired to disperse the stampede, and after IDF forces had started retreating, several looters approached our forces and posed an immediate threat to them. The soldiers responded towards several individuals.

The IDF has opened an inquiry, which will help us reduce the risk of such a tragic incident from occurring again during one of our humanitarian operations. The incident will be examined in the Fact Finding and Assessment Mechanism: an independent, professional, and expert body.

Second, here is an IDF press release about this:

IDF on aid convoy violence

Did Israel Target Civilians at Aid Distribution Site? | Frontpage Mag

And, of course, the truth of Twain’s observation that a lie can be halfway around the world before the truth can pull its boots on:

Yes, Israel was slow to respond to the blood libel that it massacred Gaza civilians who mobbed an aid shipment. Nonetheless, the truth came out. The real massacre was the massacre of truth. The headlines spewing the lies were everywhere, declaring that Israel had wantonly fired on the mob. It was the old and cliched campaign to delegitimize Israel, incite hatred of the Jewish state, and promote the fashionable antisemitism now gripping the world.

But now… as background, look at how the aid trucks are greeted:

Palestinians in Gaza loot humanitarian aid truck and killed the Egyptian driver.

Pure barbarism.

And:

Egyptian truck drivers who entered Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid to Gazans share the horrific stories how they were treated by Gazans.

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/trucks-damaged-and-drivers-injured.mp4

 

So, it is A GIVEN that these people will use violence, even against those trying to bring food and water and supplies to them.

But… there’s another factor.

Axiom 1: To die in jihad against the Infidel is the highest honor a Muslim can hope for.

Axiom 2: Hamas dresses, moves/maneuvers, and even attacks in civilian clothes.

Axiom 3: Hamas, like others before like the Viet Cong, know that the battle that matters is the military will and support of the American public.  A will greatly effected by manipulated emotions, as ably described by Brigitte Gabriel:

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/gabriele-on-emotional-manipulation.mp4

 

So given what we know – that the IDF is known and renowned for taking measures to reduce civilian casualties – and given that Hamas is slowly being backed into a corner, what better way to relieve that pressure on them, and dial it up further on Israel, than to stage a riot, force IDF soldiers to respond, and if you get killed in the process of that, instant access to your 72 virgins.

MHO: The “riot” was deliberately instigated and set up to cause a reaction, that would then be excellent CAMERA FODDER for the enemedia.

Know your enemy.  Think like your enemy.  Assimilate to your core what their motivations are.

Then you’ll understand them and their actions.

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.
