HILLIARD, Ohio (WCMH) — Several central Ohio parents suing Hilliard City Schools allege a student suffering from “severe emotional trauma” was pressured by teachers to adopt “a new name and identity as the opposite sex.”

Nine Hilliard parents say school officials “treated the child as the opposite sex” without parental consent after “diagnosing” the student with gender dysphoria, according to the filing in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio. The complaint claims the district deceived the student’s parents while the child’s “condition spiraled out of control” and led to a suicide attempt.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a one-person-wrecking ball. But what he is wrecking is the GOP that he supposedly leads. He is single-handedly wrecking the GOP’s electoral prospects … vote GOP, so we can play the role of controlled opposition while fully-funding the Left’s anti-America, globalist agenda. 

But remember bitter-clingers, he’s not the problem … it’s Matt Gaetz, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Chip Roy who won’t go along with the charade who are the real problem. Yeah, just keep telling yourself that.

When Mike Johnson was elected speaker, there were 222 Republicans and 213 Democrats: a nine-seat majority that allowed Republicans to lose the votes of four members but maintain a majority.

Under Johnson, through both incompetence and corruption, that slim majority has only…

A Texas father is left powerless as he fights his ex-wife in a California court over her insistence to start their son on puberty blockers.

The terrifying saga facing Jeff Younger is a cautionary tale about how the U.S. court system is weaponized against parents who do not go along with the transgender cult. For years, Younger and his ex-wife, Anne Georgulas, have fought over custody of their children, with the highlight of their fight being about one of their sons, who she believes is transgender.

A mother may soon be allowed to have her son castrated without the father’s permission because she believes her son is transgender:

https://t.co/ZqBZ9vl1JM

— The Dallas Express News (@DallasExpress) April 14, 2024

Georgulas moved their children, including their 11-year-old son, to California against the wishes of their father. The move was protected after Younger lost his petition in the Texas Supreme Court to force her to return the children to Texas. (ROOKE: Blue State Dems Soundly Lost Debate On Radical Trans Bill — So Now They Want To Sneak It Past You)

The Texas Supreme Court denied his petition, claiming that Younger misinterpreted SB 107 and that the current Texas court order preventing Georgulas from giving their son these medical treatments would be honored in California. California currently has a transgender child trafficking law on the books, SB 107, which allows the state to refuse lawful extradition orders from other states over issues related to so-called gender-affirming care.

“I concur in the Court’s denial of the petition because Father is already in possession of a court order prohibiting Mother from doing precisely what he fears she will do with his son. In October 2021, the district court—with Mother’s full agreement, and indeed at her request—ordered that: neither parent may treat a child with hormonal suppression therapy, puberty blockers, and/or transgender reassignment surgery (if any) without the consent of the parents or court order,” the Court stated.

The Supreme Court of Texas denied my Mandamus, effectively terminating my parental rights. My children are now subject to being chemically castrated in California. Texas is an empire of child abuse, led by Texas judges.

— Jeff Younger (@JeffYoungerShow) December 31, 2022

Proponents of the law claim SB 107 makes California a “refuge for trans kids and their families.” Law experts have long warned that these bills strip parental rights away from concerned parents, preventing any opposition to these medical treatments. This means that for Younger and his family, it will allow the mother to start harmful medical treatments on his child without his permission. (ROOKE: Democratic Lawmaker Who Destroyed Own Family Wants To Come For Yours Next)

Despite the Texas order supposedly preventing this from happening, Younger’s family has an upcoming pro forma hearing on April 25 that will ultimately decide whether Georgulas will be allowed to start their son down a path that will eventually turn him into a medical patient for the rest of his life.

A bombshell U.K. review, the Cass Report, of the usage of puberty blockers for minor patients found alarming problems when children are given these drugs to pause or delay puberty.

“A further concern … is that adolescent sex hormone surges may trigger the opening of a critical period for experience-dependent rewiring of neural circuits underlying executive function (i.e. maturation of the part of the brain concerned with planning, decision making and judgement). If this is the case, brain maturation may be temporarily or permanently disrupted by the use of puberty blockers, which could have a significant impact on the young person’s ability to make complex risk-laden decisions, as well as having possible longer-term neuropsychological consequences,” the report found.

The research shows that male children put on puberty blockers from an early age suffer from “inadequate penile growth,” and both male and female minor patients suffer from compromised bone density and growth issues.

“Puberty suppression was never intended to continue for extended periods, so the complex circumstances in which young people may remain on puberty blockers into adulthood is of concern,” the report stated.

On the heels of the Cass report, which inexplicably shows the severe harms of the sex reassignment industry, radical politicians like @GovernorShapiro are pushing even harder to mutilate kids.

It’s sickening. https://t.co/wieey8H8On

— Meg Brock (@MegEBrock) April 11, 2024

Georgulas promised Texas courts that she was not intent on sending their son to a gender clinic to receive irreversible treatments for his supposed gender dysphoria, but if that were the case, why would she be in a California court attempting to allow it to happen? Now that Texas ruled against Younger, there is little legal protection left for him to protect his son. He is not even allowed to argue against these treatments in the pro forma hearing on April 25, according to the National File. (ROOKE: Meet Celebrities’ Favorite LA School Turning Their Kids Trans)

SB 107 proponents swore this wouldn’t happen when their bill was signed into law, yet here it is occurring in broad daylight. The Younger case is the realization of what these transgender cultists ultimately wanted. They demonized concerned parents, calling them right-wing conspiracy theorists. The slippery slope is not only real but worse; it’s more like an uncontrollable water slide.

Victor David Hanson is a smart guy. A historian, he pays attention to past and present and seems to be neither a deep-state neocon nor some feckless progressive academic interested in politics before facts or science.

He shared some thoughts about the Biden Admininstrations “footing” when it comes to global and regional conflicts that paint a less than flattering picture of Uncle Joe than we may remember.

We should remember, so I felt like this was worth sharing. Joe isn’t just bad with unity at home, which is why traditional antagonists are so emboldened.

“Don’t!”— Or Ten Ways to Guarantee a Theater-wide War

On the eve of the October 7 massacres, National Security Advisor bragged in an essay that his Mideast portfolio was “quieter than it has been for decades”. Now we are on the verge of a multifront Middle East war. How did Joe Biden inherit a decades-long regional calm and turn it into a precursor to a gargantuan war?

1. Talk loudly and carry a twig. Issue hollow Obama-like “redlines” or serial Biden threats to aggressive enemies like the vapid “Don’t!” Witness a U.S. President who works a 3-day week, struggles to read a teleprompter, and shouts more at conservative Americans than at America’s enemies.

2. Destroy hard-won deterrence. Abruptly pull out of Afghanistan. Abandon $50 billion in weapons to terrorists. Abandon a new $1 billion embassy. Abandon a $300 refitted air base. Abandon thousands of NATO allies, thousands of U.S. contractors, and thousands of Afghan allies. Lose 13 Marines in a horrific scramble to get out, while killing collateral Afghan civilians in a supposedly “righteous strike”. Call the entire American humiliation an impressive withdrawal.

3. Sit passively while a Chinese spy balloon traverses the continental U.S. Shoot it down only after days of escalating public outrage. Be afraid to call the Chinese out for the Wuhan-lab-generated, gain-of-function Covid-19 virus. Let Chinese diplomats dress down our silent and stunned secretary of state and national security advisor on American soil in Anchorage.

4. Assure Vladimir Putin that the U.S. reaction to a preemptive invasion of Ukraine would hinge on whether it was a major or “minor” invasion. Delay $100 million in military aid to Ukraine as Putin massed on Ukraine’s borders in hopes such forbearance would be reciprocated. Implore Putin to be more selective in his cyber targeting of U.S. infrastructure and institutions.

5. Coddle terrorist Iran. Seem eager to resume the Iran Deal. Lift sanctions. Allow $100 billion in oil profits to flow into Iranian coffers. Restore aid to the terrorist Palestinian authority and Hamas. Ignore Hezbollah’s terrorism. Remove the terrorist designation of the Houthis. Mostly ignore over 120 Iranian attacks on American installations. Transfer suspended funds to Iran at the rate of $1.2 billion for each American hostage it took.

6. Pressure Israel not to destroy Hamas—and not to reply to missile and drone attacks on the Israeli homeland. Threaten to cut off military aid to the only democratic government and longest U.S. ally in the Middle East should it finish off Hamas. Signal the Middle East that there is growing distance between Israel and America. Try to subvert if not overthrow the elected government of Israel. Transfer U.S. weapons stocks from Israel to Ukraine. Ignore thousands of missiles launched by Hamas and Hezbollah, and 100,000 Israelis internally displaced from their homes.

7. Run up the U.S deficit by $1 trillion every 100 days through reckless spending for entitlements, massive green subsidies, and DEI initiatives—while neglecting American shortages of munition stocks, arms, ships, and planes.

8. Recalibrate the U.S. military by substituting DEI criteria for past meritocracy. Accuse white males of being suspect white supremacists, then investigate them, then find no such evidence—and then suffer a shortage of a record 41,000 recruits. Lose the confidence of the American people in the military, so that less than half the population polls high confidence in the armed forces. Render the Uniform Code of Military Justice a mere construct.

9. Destroy the U.S. border for rank political purposes. Cancel all prior border enforcement. Abandon construction of the border wall. Allow in 10-million illegal aliens, among them thousands from hostile nations and some with terrorist ties. Provide generous subsidies, exemptions, and entitlements to immigrant lawbreakers, not always accorded to the U.S. poor.

10. Lose control of the world’s maritime commercial corridors. Allow the Chinese to harass allies in the South China Sea and the Philippine Sea. Allow the Houthis to shut down the Red Sea. Allow Iran to hijack ships in the Straits of the Hormuz. Witness the Black Sea become off-limits to maritime traffic.

How do you get immunity in New Hampshire as a public official for being a pervert, a drunk, dishonest, a rapist, a murderer, or a thug?  Pay off the right people to not probe into what you’ve been up to. Political donations or kickbacks on deals.

Think how Police Officer/Rep. Jonathan Stone was covered up all these years, and about why James F. McLaughlin is still covered up despite his dirty past.

640:2 Bribery in Official and Political Matters. –
    I. A person is guilty of a class B felony if:
       (a) He promises, offers, or gives any pecuniary benefit to another with the purpose of influencing the other’s action, decision, opinion, recommendation, vote, nomination, or other exercise of discretion as a public servant, party official, or voter; or
       (b) Being a public servant, party official, candidate for electoral office, or voter, he solicits, accepts or agrees to accept any pecuniary benefit from another knowing or believing the other’s purpose to be as described in subparagraph I(a), or fails to report to a law enforcement officer that he has been offered or promised a pecuniary benefit in violation of subparagraph I(a).
    II. As used in this section and other sections of this chapter, the following definitions apply:
       (a) “Public servant” means any officer or employee of the state or any political subdivision thereof, including judges, legislators, consultants, jurors, and persons otherwise performing a governmental function. A person is considered a public servant upon his election, appointment or other designation as such, although he may not yet officially occupy that position. A person is a candidate for electoral office upon his public announcement of his candidacy.
       (b) “Party official” means any person holding any post in a political party whether by election, appointment or otherwise.
       (c) “Pecuniary benefit” means any advantage in the form of money, property, commercial interest or anything else, the primary significance of which is economic gain; it does not include economic advantage applicable to the public generally, such as tax reduction or increased prosperity generally.

Peter Heed is the attorney to whom Laurie List, corrupt police officer James F McLaughlin, referred his “clients” in the late 1980s. At least, this is the case with Robert LaMontagne and Father Gordon MacRae, both of whom claim, among many others, to be victims of James F McLaughlin’s corrupt practices, with significant and irrefutable documentation to prove it.

Robert LaMontagne’s child lived with Peter Heed (who was also the child’s counsel) for a while. LaMontagne, meanwhile, was incarcerated in Keene jail. James McLaughlin charged him with sexually assaulting his three young children out of the blue while LaMontagne was serving a sentence for driving without a license after a DUI. (meanwhile, Peter Heed pled guilty to a DUI in 2013). LaMontagne was never shown the polygraph test he offered to take. He was just told he’d failed it. The state never gave him due process, but James F McLaughlin would have been rewarded, Keene Police would have got money, and Peter Heed did nicely.

Peter Heed’s friends at the Union Leader appear to have deleted the inconvenient links to Peter Heed’s own misconduct. That’s how it rolls in New Hampshire. The Concord Monitor is guilty of doing the same – censorship of articles inconvenient to those who are in “the club”. Even Congresswoman Ann Kuster (an attorney in the same club as Heed) has had her Wikipedia page edited to remove references that are inconvenient to her frontage as a victim’s rights and women’s rights advocate. She doesn’t want people to remember that she lobbied for date rape drug Rohypnol and ignored the pleas of women who’d been gang raped under its influence.

Peter Heed went on to become DA of Cheshire County and then AG of New Hampshire. In 1994, he resigned after being accused of sexually groping two social workers at a conference sponsored by the State on DV & SA. James F McLaughlin and his eager-beaver corrupt police officer friends in the New Hampshire Sexual Assault Unit left Heed alone. It looks like that would have been a deal due to McLaughlin being allowed to continue after his atrocious record of misconduct.

Did Peter Heed or James McLaughlin ever declare these kinds of quid pro quo (“ad honorarium”) deals? No. And neither did anyone who got paid or had their spouses or AG Gordon MacDonald do media for Marsy’s Law. Gordon MacDonald endorsed Marsy’s Law for Amanda Grady Sexton, who was ED for it. In return, she endorsed him to become NH Supreme Court Chief Justice.  RSA 15, RSA 15B has also been thrown out the window.

You wonder how Rep. Jonathan Stone’s police misconduct was covered up all these years? Baksheesh is why – Bribery. RSA 640.2. And if you don’t do something about it, you continue to put children and families in New Hampshire in extreme mortal harm’s way. It is not as if there haven’t been disappearances of children, adults, unsolved murders. Why is that? The same reason.

James F McLaughlin had a documented history of dishonesty and malfeasance for which he’d been suspended in the 1980s when Peter Heed was in private practice in Keene.  In 1998, the First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Government had engaged in federal entrapment against a man from Maine: Paul Gamache.

The “Government” was James F McLaughlin under the guise of “Francis”, a 31 year old single mom who put an ad in a newspaper seeking a man to have fun with and “mentor” her three children under age 12. When questioned by Paul Gamache, who’d responded to the ad, what was entailed in mentoring, “Francis” wanted him to have sex with her three young children.  He casually went along with her solicitation for this in correspondence because he was really interested in her. He drove to Keene to meet her, only to be greeted by police officers who arrested him.  It was a tale of deceit from start to finish but Keene Sentinel newspaper was in James McLaughlin’s pocket as well. Reports indicate he’d worked with Paul Montgomery at the Sentinel to use media to help provide “probable cause” for charges. The practice is customary with the Concord Monitor, NH AP, NHPR, Union Leader, WMUR as well.  There are multiple cases to prove this.

Peter Heed would have or should have known about the ruling of federal entrapment in 1998 but he protected James F McLaughlin – one can only assume this is because he’d had good business out of him when he was in private practice. This looks to be the case with AG Gordon MacDonald as well who hired McLaughlin in 2017 and then argued to keep the Laurie list private in 2018 after he knew McLaughlin’s name had been added. MacDonald had great business with McLaughlin when he was at Nixon Peabody representing the Diocese. So had David Vicinanzo – another one who has failed to call him out.

A look at who Peter Heed and other prominent NH attorneys donate to appears to be an indication as to what’s really going on in New Hampshire and why there have been so many cover-ups, behind-closed-doors conferences on McLaughlin and other corrupt police officers:

Is Peter Heed paying people off to look after his own reputation and, in turn, James F McLaughlin’s?  One of those people is Kelly Ayotte (she had an aide who was in a prostitution ring), who conveniently stated about him:

“Deputy Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, whom Benson said will take over for Heed, said the county attorney’s office is investigating the allegations. She said the harassment allegation is the first time against Heed since he took office.”

“I’ve worked with Peter for over a year. I have respect for him. It’s been a privilege to serve with him,” she said. “And I’ve never seen him act inappropriately.”

Another person Peter Heed has donated to is Cinde Warmington, who is currently running for Governor.  He’s also donated to Chris Sununu.

Have you noticed a single one of these demanding to know what’s going on with James F McLaughlin and why Attorneys General have protected him? No.

(I’m copying Cinde Warmington and Debra Altshiller on this because they need to think very seriously about their own ignorance of the Bribery and Lobbying Statutes and what the consequences of that can lead to. It’s not OK to ignore the Statutes when you are in a position of power as an elected official to represent the interests of the public and the Constitution). 

Is Baksheesh just the New Hampshire way of doing business in the Law Enforcement/DA/AG/Governor incestuous swamp? Is that how James F McLaughlin, Rep. Jonathan Stone, and others have gotten away for so long? Not a single Attorney General will call out the misconduct of their predecessors.

They are not adhering to their professional codes of conduct, not their oath of office, nor the mission statements on the NH DOJ site. They are adhering to a secret code in a closed-door club to prevent the real truth from coming out—DECADES OF HORRIFIC CORRUPTION that has acted as a cancer through every hallway of law enforcement, the AG’s office, law firms, agencies, and NGOs. These are the “stakeholders” mentioned by members of the various “Governor’s commissions.”

“At trial the detective testified that the use of the word “mentor” in the advertisement was purposeful in order to draw out only persons who were interested in “inter-generational sexual interaction between adults and children.”   Appellant testified, however, that after looking the term “mentor” up in the dictionary, he concluded that it meant “like role model,” that “it was just another gal looking for somebody to take care of her kids like they do nowadays all over the country ․ [f]inancially, take them fishing, hunting, whatever.”

What does the term “mentor” mean in New Hampshire Law Enforcement? Exactly? James F McLaughlin has dozens of qualifications in child sexual assault and related. He teaches other police officers and he is an “expert witness”. 

What does “expert witness” mean in New Hampshire Courts?  In the case of James F McLaughlin, it means someone who knows how to federally entrap and who is themselves a pervert – a danger to society.

A YDC rape victim testified yesterday that “he knew he wouldn’t be believed.” If you look at the number of organizations, qualifications, publications, and training sessions on child abuse James F McLaughlin has been involved with. Why has the Attorney General’s office protected him for being a sexual pervert, a thug, a liar, but victims of YDC abuse were ignored? He was the expert in signs of child sex abuse….<

Chairman Ray Buckley has somehow avoided scrutiny for what appears to be his own sexually perverse misconduct with teenagers, which appears in this YouTube video.  Why is nobody in the NH State House bothered by it? Is it the same reason nobody was bothered about Stacey Laughton, Jonathan Stone, Timothy Siekmann? Or do people just pay off the right people to carry on?

LD227 would permit the state of Maine to hold those in other states liable for violating it; violating what? The law allows human trafficking and protects adults from charges of kidnapping and transporting minors across state lines for gender surgeries. Tennessee pushed back, but not just against the unconstitutionality of LD227.

Tennessee lawmakers in the state’s Senate on Thursday passed a bill on a 25-4 vote that would make it a felony for adults to aid minors in seeking gender transition procedures. It now heads to the GOP-led House, where it is expected to get additional Republican support.

State Sen. Janice Bowling, a Republican, sponsored SB 2782, which would penalize any “adult who recruits, harbors, or transports an unemancipated minor” in Tennessee “for the purpose of receiving a prohibited medical procedure that is for the purpose of enabling the minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s sex or treating purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor’s sex and asserted identity, regardless of where the medical procedure is to be procured,” and make it classified as a felony.

Objections are without merit. It is about protecting children from a medical, industrial complex revenue machine that secretly admits the risks and failures of its alleged cures on one hand while cashing checks for its services on the other.

A practice that is rapidly losing support around the world (in just the past few weeks).

A growing institutional force recognizes how dangerous and ineffective this is for children’s mental health.

What About Rights?

Children have very limited rights, historically recognized across almost every culture. No one has a history of deliberately letting kids decide what they are ready for or when they can begin certain behaviors. Results may vary (rural kids are up working the family farm and using equipment many an urban youth would be unable to master without the time and training of their rural peers). Still, when it comes to smoking, driving, vaping, drinking alcohol, tattoos, firearms*, and, until recently – sex, the universal standard has been when the time is right. That time is commonly mid to late teens (these days) or later, which ought to include the elective surgical removal of healthy human body parts.

Every culture can debate when the best time is for marriage and firearms safety, but we don’t typically let adults chop off healthy body parts (theirs or someone else’s) unless it is for sexual reassignment surgery, which, when you consider it, is not the best policy. Recent research affirms that a majority of what gets labeled gender dysphoria in children is a different mental health issue that gender-bending does not address. It would explain why the quick-to-judge gender reassignment solution is failing so badly. Even in accepting communities, those lured into the LGBTQ lifestyle continue to embrace other unhealthy habits, including suicide, in statistically high numbers.

You are not addressing their mental health. You are using it to project your political will. Adults are free to make mistakes for which they must then pay some price (unless they are members of Congress). Children manipulated into those choices, contrary to the rising body of evidence against it, are being abused sexually, politically, and forever. You can’t undo the damage of gender surgery, and hormone treatments are dangerous, leading to disease, cancer, and even death.

Maine Democrats are not just fine with the risks. They would add human trafficking to the list. They are putting children in harm’s way. Tennesse is trying to protect them. More states should do the same.

Democrat-owned fake news media continues to bamboozle their self-blinded followers with false narratives in order to sell their stories to the unsuspecting populace.

As long as left-leaning voters take the bait by the media, they will never learn what it was like 50 years ago to have honest and unbiased news presenters like Walter Cronkite.

The “news” articles of today are more like gossip columns reeking of manipulated, sensational “gotcha” opinions by left-wing reporters at CNN, MSNBC, HuffPost, AP, ABC, et al.

This is called controlling the message. When the message is controlled, the people are controlled.

However, Democrats without a conscience don’t seem to care because they are happily living in their controlled fantasy world. Left-leaning people totally believe the negative, fictional opinions made against Republicans by the leftist media simply because it fits their Democratic narrative.

Democrats in Congress love to claim “bipartisanship” when pushing laws. Have you noticed that they all claim to “work with” Republicans to negotiate bills? The reality is that they don’t leave space for Republican discussions; they shut Republicans out of the conversation. Congressional Democrats have no desire to negotiate. It seems it’s their way or the highway.

It is extremely rare for a Democrat to go against their party in Washington, DC. The reality is, if they appear to waffle, they pay a price. When Speaker Nancy Pelosi reigned over the House, they were led in shackles to her throne to have a “little chat”. Subsequently, the “throne-in-waiting” of the House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. And to current Senate Leader Chuck Schumer. They are all given the order not to stray from liberal chronicles.

The media will never report that.

Remember when Joe Biden was running for president on a platform of unity? The reality is that Biden has denigrated Republicans for years. He slams Donald Trump at every chance, propagating the same falsehoods claimed by the media, albeit in his mumbling, bumbling Biden-esque way.

Biden is the most divisive president this country has seen in a long time. He wouldn’t know unity if it bit him in the nose.

And yet, Biden’s controlled partisan followers continue to walk around with blinders on. In their letters to the editor and other public communications, they note that Biden is ‘full of stamina and vitality’ and ‘clearly articulates his policies’. Are they drinking the weird Kool-Aid?

Another dramatically false claim is that Trump is a ‘threat to America’ and he ‘cozied up to dictators’ and his ‘greed fed corrupt pay-to-play politics’. They sound catatonic and seemingly suffer from foaming at the mouth.

Talk about being controlled.

People don’t get the full truth. All they get are subjective opinions calling Republicans bad. They listen to fake news with liberal ears and believe the false claim that President Trump said he was going to be a dictator. No. That was taken out of context by the media. Look at the transcript of the conversation. With tongue in cheek, he said he would be a dictator on day one only and would close the border and stop illegal border crossings. Frame of reference: On day one, Joe Biden acted as a dictator when he signed 77 executive orders all cancelling Trump policies simply because they were not Democratic policies.

Let’s not forget Biden holding a pay-to-play billion dollars hostage to force the Ukrainian government to fire the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Hunter Biden’s corrupt deal. Well, son-of-gun, the prosecutor got fired, and Biden got them their billion dollars!

Take the “bloodbath” incident. Trump was speaking metaphorically about a major economic disaster, not a bloody war like the liberal media claimed. Biden used the term in 2020, referring to a political bloodbath. Result: nothing from the media. They let that go without calling him out.

The media claimed Trump called all illegals ‘animals’ – they forgot to mention that he was talking about the murderous criminal element of illegals crossing our border.

Liberals will not be swayed by this column and will continue to turn a blind eye. They’d rather focus more on the lies about Trump than talk about Biden’s economic disasters affecting us all.

Knowledge is key.

George Carlin used to tell jokes about his time in Catholic school and his smart-ass interactions with The Church, like asking a priest if God is so powerful that he can create a rock so large that he himself can’t lift it. A similar situation has arisen closer to Earth. Vermont close.

In their pursuit of ineffable emissions goals, the Vermont Legislature has created an environmental standard so complex that no one knows how to implement it. Grokster Rob Roper explains.

The Clean Heat Standard (CHS), the “Rube Goldberg” carbon tax on home heating fuels, became law almost a year ago over the veto of Governor Scott. The Democrat/Progressive supermajority that passed the CHS did so without providing – or even considering in any significant detail – how it would work or what it would cost. Instead, they kicked that can into the laps of the Public Utilities Commission with the charge to just figure it all out – by September 2024 (fifteen months) for review before a legislative vote in January 2025.

So far, the only thing we’ve figured out is that this thing can’t be figured out. Certainly not by September 2024/January 2025 and probably not ever.

He proceeds to show us the receipts in support of the claim, which is simplified by the fact that the agencies tasked with achieving goals have not because the way the law is written, it can’t be done. This is progressive busybodying at its finest, and you’d be right to ask the next question.

How many emissions have been emitted not just during the drafting, deliberation, and passage of the Clean Heat Standard but also since trying to work out how it won’t work, starting with the fact that it creates a financial instrument (a carbon credit) the state would have to oversee and regulate (more government, more emissions).

“From the outset, you should treat the credit like a financial instrument if you want to see what happens when you don’t, look at the beginnings of the European Emissions Trading System ten or twelve years ago. It was a disaster. They are a financial instrument. They are basically the same as money, so you need to track them like that. There should be a single registry for credits, and they should all have unique identifiers…. And the final thing, I’d say, is there should be an annual review of market activity. It seems like overkill on day one, but it is really important to understand what is happening in the credit market to make sure that it’s being operated above board….”

Yeah, all that. And much more. Good luck hammering out the details of how to create, track, and regulate what is essentially a new crypto-currency during a three-hour Zoom meeting! This is not the fault of the TAG or the EAG, it’s the fault of the morons who passed this law with this time frame with this bureaucratic framework without doing anywhere near the due diligence necessary to determine if this were possible.

And Vermonters didn’t even want it. They don’t want to pay more to heat and cool their homes, but that’s what this does if they can figure out a way to make it work, which is not a bad thing. The longer it takes, the more time you have to replace them and get this repealed.

IF you consider yourself a political activist … then there is a thread on X from Jesse Kelly that is a MUST-READ. But let’s start with me, okay? Am I a political activist? NO. Writing posts for GraniteGrok does NOT make me a political activist. It makes me a political commentator (the dysfunctional NHGOP would probably use gadfly instead of commentator). But it does NOT make me an activist.

The vast majority of what is posted on this site is “preaching to the choir.” I am not changing minds. I am not affecting elections, And I can say this because I see how many views the posts get. The reach of my posts, in terms of votes cast in elections, is not material.

If I were a candidate for, let’s say, a school board, or I were helping such a candidate … then I could actually call myself an activist. But I am neither, so I have no business calling myself an activist. Similarly, someone who just posts on Facebook and flies a MAGA flag is not an activist. You are not doing anything actually to manifest change.

Democrats … more accurately, Communists … are winning because they understand the distinction. They seek and win positions of power, and then they use that power. That is why you see drag shows and pride flags in supposedly Red States.

If you want to be an activist, then you need to ACT. And a word of advice, if you do choose to take Jesse’s advice … ignore the NHGOP. The NHGOP is dysfunctional and useless. Trying to “take over” the NHGOP is a colossal waste of time. Instead, the focus should be on taking over your local school board and other aspects of local governance.

Needless to say, I do not expect anyone to actually follow this advice. It is so much easier to do things the same way—the losing way—that the NHGOP has been doing things for decades. TOP OF THE TICKET, COATTAILS, DON’T MASS UP NEW HAMPSHIRE. What’s really “massing up” New Hampshire is not the alleged threat of an income tax—it is the Communist zealots running school boards and other aspects of local government.

First, you need to set aside Nursery Rhyme Conservative notions like “majority”. The Right loves cope like that.

“We’re the silent majority!”

Yeah, dork. Thinking like that is why you lose. 

The communist understands “power” and “majority” are very different things. His is a demonic religion of destruction so he knows he’ll never be popular. And he doesn’t have to be.

He just has to take the choke points of power in a society. 

Which brings us to your town. You know that library you drive by on the way to work every day? Do you even look at it?

No. You don’t.

Guess who does. The communist does. You see a library. He sees a choke point. 

The communist understands power in a way the American Right never has. You put on a MAGA hat and post on Facebook and think you’re “political”.

The communist gets himself on your city’s parks department. Why? Cause he knows what politics really is about. 

So yes, there are only 10 commies in your “red” town. But they’re all on your school board. THEY have the power. Your “majority” means nothing. Nothing.  If you want to save the parts of your country that can be saved, it involves much more than voting for Trump once every 4 years and avoiding Bud Light. You must become involved. LOCALLY.  Run for school board. When there’s a meeting or a committee in your town (communists love committees), go get on them.  When the communist pushes the next tranny parade, make noise. Organize. Last time they tried that in my “red” town, I had so many people calling that they stopped answering the phones in city hall. And in the end, I won. 

Legal and local is our path to victory. Your red area is vulnerable cause you’re watching the game while the communists are planning and organizing.

Plan. Organize. Fight. Win.

That’s all.

Iran’s attack on Israel; the Trump trial in NYC; should he have not bothered to show up to the trial at all to show his disdain? Would Biden pull Trump’s secret service to send him to prison? Should SCOTUS take so long to make decisions? Do oral arguments change minds? Speaker Johnson changing his mind on section 702; Senate refused to hold trial on Mayorkas impeachment.

After writing and publishing nine books about liberty, Alu has taken on some unique ventures related to writing. He has helped three other libertarians self-publish their own books, he’s translated his books into Spanish, and there are numerous other projects in the works. One of these projects simply involved compiling some of the best quotes about liberty, peace, and prosperity from the dawn of recorded time until 2024.

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.
