NEWS ITEM: Major League Baseball announced on May 29 that it incorporated the statistics of more than 2,300 Negro Leagues players from 1920 to 1948 into its records, which are now available in a newly integrated online database.

“Today’s announcement is the first major step that makes the achievements of the players of the Negro Leagues available to fans via the official historical record,” the MLB said in a statement.

Sometimes, it’s still hard to imagine, even in 2024, that African-American baseball players were banned from Major League Baseball prior to 1947. It was what it was. How and why segregation was what it was can better be examined/explained by historians and sociologists. But baseball was certainly enriched when things finally opened up after Jackie Robinson’s 1947 debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers. His #42 was later retired by every MLB team.

To be sure, blacks played baseball before 1947. And while the old Negro Leagues didn’t have the financial resources that MLB did, the teams were rich in talent. Sadly, the times being what they were, there is a dearth of film records to document the wonderful action involving the Kansas City Monarchs, the Birmingham Black Barons, the Indianapolis Clowns, or the Baltimore Elite Giants, et al.

But while there’s not much in the way of You-Tube videos of Negro League action, there do exist numbers and statistics. And more than any other sport, baseball is about stats. And these numbers are cause for eternal, unresolvable debate. Could Ty Cobb have compiled a lifetime .367 batting average if he played in the 21st Century? Could Barry Bonds have enjoyed a 73-home run season in the dead ball era?

MLB’s inclusion of Negro League stats into its all-time records and statistical database naturally invites discussion.

Serious baseball fans have long considered Ty Cobb’s .367 lifetime batting average as one of MLB’s all-time unassailable records. But now, suddenly, the new record is Josh Gibson’s lifetime .373 average.

Who knew? Probably not many.

Back in the 1930’s Gibson was a star Negro League catcher for the Homestead Grays and the Pittsburgh Crawfords. By some accounts he hit around 800 home runs, but Negro League records credit him with 168. MLB recognizes 174 Gibson dingers. He hit .466 in 1943, easily surpassing the previous single-season modern big-league record of .424, set by Rogers Hornsby in 1924.

Hornsby’s .424 was another one of those supposedly “unassailable” big league records. But Gibson’s .466 in 1943 didn’t even win him a Negro League batting crown. That title went to Tetelo Vargas, who hit .471 that year during WWII. So, .471 is the new .424.

Traditionalists point out that Cobb played 3034 MLB games. Gibson is credited with only 602, which is less than four full MLB seasons’ worth. Cobb stole 897 bases in his 3034 games. Gibson stole 40 bases in his 602 games.

Unfortunately, there are stat gaps in the Negro Leagues’ record books. A full accounting of baseball achievements in those leagues can never be achieved.

And sadly, Gibson passed away at the age of 35 in 1947, four months before Robinson broke the color barrier.

Baseball fans—for whom the record book is a bible with all-time stats being chapter and verse— must suddenly embrace a new holy book with official text replacing old names and numbers with “new” ones. It’s not easy for some. Just as racial integration was sometimes a difficult process in the 20th Century, so too is statistical integration in the 21st Century.

Josh Gibson, Tetelo Vargas, and company are long gone. But the recent incorporation of Negro League numbers into MLB record books helps immortalize many underappreciated and underacknowledged players. Mentioning Gibson and Vargas here keeps their memories alive.

And while most of these stars never saw Fenway Park, MLB’s new statistical integration means their spirits are now present at that old ball yard—along with Babe Ruth’s and so many other baseball immortals.

The European Union’s (EU) cabal of meddling ministers has passed a resolution “requiring firms and their upstream and downstream partners, including supply, production and distribution, to prevent, end or mitigate their adverse impact on human rights and the environment.”

“Today’s vote is a milestone for responsible business conduct and a considerable step towards ending the exploitation of people and the planet by cowboy companies. This law is a hard-fought compromise and the result of many years of tough negotiations. I am proud of what we have achieved with our progressive allies. In Parliament’s next mandate, we will fight not only for its swift implementation, but also for making Europe’s economy even more sustainable.”

The goal, at least the intention of these pointy-headed climate zombies, is to use the law to force private businesses to execute their climate doctrine. If you are not a responsible planetary partner, you’ll get fined. Ribbons of shame! But did anyone stop to think how all that supposed-planet-saving stuff meant to replace the irresponsible bits gets made? Most of it comes from China, the world’s leading emitter, polluter, and human rights violator.

If you want wind or solar power, getting it built without Chinese involvement in some portion of the procurement or fabrication process is difficult and expensive. Many rare earth metal mines operate with few or no environmental controls, polluting the people and their “indigenous” lands to a degree that makes them toxic and uninhabitable. You can’t grow healthy crops, and local water supplies are poisoned.

This also applies to the companies with which EU companies do business and to companies outside the EU that do business in the EU.

These firms will have to integrate due diligence into their policies, make related investments, seek contractual assurances from their partners, improve their business plan or provide support to small and medium-sized business partners to ensure they comply with new obligations. Companies will also have to adopt a transition plan to make their business model compatible with the Paris Agreement global warming limit of 1.5°C.

You will do homage to a false god whose world-ending mythology is a lie by admitting to an original sin that isn’t the cause and whose mitigation is not the cure. Failing to do so will result in mandatory tithing and a stern talking-to while making the other goals of the same EU ministers impossible to achieve.

I can only assume that somewhere in the fine print, we will find papal-like dispensations for violations as long as they advance the approved Net-Zero initiatives. Either that or this is just a scheme to bilk every business in the world with a pinky toe of traction among EU nations—more climate money laundering.

It’s stupid, is what it is.

There Is no such thing as “morally justifiable” except in the minds of Liberals. If we continue to let the Left enjoy a majority rule, we will continue to see our rights and privileges erode and have no one to blame but the face in the mirror. If you need proof that the electorate is ignorant of reality, you must look to Pennsylvania in 2022 and New Jersey in 2024. The voters elected two representatives for reelection who were dead. Pennsylvania Rep. Tony DeLuca was re-elected in the midterm elections even though he died a month before the election, and Rep. Donald Payne Jr. won his New Jersey primary more than a month after he died.

The reason I am detailing a lack of judgment on the Left is it is these folks who are deciding your rights they should restrict. We already see how they have gone after our cars, implementing unrealistic mandates when we will all be driving EVs regardless of the infrastructure not prepared or the demand in place. These folks are after our gas stoves, air conditioners, hot water heaters, washers/dryers, and dishwashers. The alternatives they recommend are, at best, inefficient and, at worst, use more energy than the item they replace.

The Left is forcing the population from the suburbs back into the city, making it too expensive to commute from a bedroom community to the metropolitan area to work. Their purpose is to make it easier to control the population when they have brought it closer together. They also see the suburbs as public land for solar and wind farms. Rather than addressing our failing existing power grid, they want to turn the countryside into a “Green” power grid. Can you picture the Rocky Mountains or Grand Canyon covered in solar panels and the skyline a massive row of windmills? That is what the Left calls beautiful, but it will not matter as we will not be able to afford to visit our natural wonders, or our travel will be prohibited.

The Greenies have targeted 2030 as the point in time when they will begin to restrict our air travel. Your right to free movement is being curtailed by the Left’s hypothesis that we are killing the planet and that America alone can fix the problem. These are the same people who said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation and that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. Voluntary air travel will no longer exist, and flying will be restricted to only morally justifiable trips. Just as government censorship should never exist, nobody in public service at any level could, or should, determine what is morally justifiable for anyone but themselves.

Our freedoms are derived from God and guaranteed by our Constitution. Unless you are successful in transforming America into a grass-fed socialist country, then you go where you want to, and I will choose where and when to go my way. And another thing: I’ll drive my combustion engine vehicle to the airport.

In closing, what is morally justifiable? Is it aborting a fetus up to the moment of birth? Is it allowing 30 million illegal migrants to enter our country? Is it subjecting our children to transgender counseling and treatment? Is it using your Justice Department to target your political opponents? The Left has many issues to clean up before they can preach the high ground to the world.

The post What Is Morally Justifiable appeared first on Granite Grok.

Today’s global society is totalitarian. This is not really an opinionated statement, and the better that one understands its actuality, the faster we will be able to emerge from this dark age.

What is totalitarianism? This is a characterization of political, social, economic, and cultural factors that lead to a centralization of power. It is authoritarian in the sense that the powerholders wield authority maximally and violently. It is often akin to tyranny, where leadership exercises power unchecked, with abandon, with great prejudice, and destroys all dissent. What has brought us here?

There are many explanations and realistically this is a situation where the many conditions were ripe for the present power structure to arise.

One of the main causes is the technological dictatorship that is pervasive worldwide. A small handful of companies control massive flows of information. The individuals who own and direct these corporations have permitted their own ideological opinions to sway the direction of society. They are socialists and communists— products of the hard left. These individuals seem intent to project their worldview with such harsh application that they even prevent competition.

Competition itself is incredibly important for markets to work. Without it, the population essentially becomes slaves. Climbing the socioeconomic ladder becomes all but impossible, as kt depends not on merit and skill, but on identity and one’s ability to suck up to powerholders. It is dependent upon ego, rather than entrepreneurial talent.

Ego, itself, is typically the bane of a prosperous, happy society. When the individual ego of the executive— in the case of the state this is the monarch, president or prime minister— is expressed maximally and treated with sycophantic fanaticism, it becomes extremely dangerous for peace and order. If a leader lacks morality, as is the typical case in the USA and many English-speaking countries that have abandoned ethics in practice, the society burns and collapses.

We are seeing this now from the Washington-London-Paris power axis. A total embrace of totalitarianism has gripped the current generation of leadership, and they appear intent on allowing no opposition. Look no further than Mexico, where political opponents ha e been outright killed during the current federal elections. This is the dream of the hard leftist— to engender violence in order to secure power.

Washington, itself, has allowed itself to be consumed by Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Defense. These three corporate sectors have fused with the government in a virulent form of fascism. The current federal executive, which took power essentially as a junta, represents this modern fascist state.

Under this regime, citizens are kept under a heavy surveillance blanket. Freedom as a concept has been redefined to include guardrails against any action that might upset the status quo. It is all but impossible for the private citizen to prosper, to establish or grow entrepreneurial business venture, or even to have a family. Dissenting voices have been imprisoned. This is straight tyranny.

Modern US society is divided sharply into the capital holders, who mostly benefit from the technological infrastructure in place, and a vast underclass of workers who are forced under a glass ceiling. Using the power of the surveillance state, the corporatist bureaucracy has squeezed citizens’ savings maximally, while preventing real wage growth by sparking wild inflation.

The inflation itself through monetary debasement has been combined with actual attacks on agricultural and transportation infrastructure. The purpose is twofold— to destroy productive enterprise in order to limit supply, and to generate opportinities for disaster relief.

Simultaneously, the federal executive and its political apparatus has propagandized the population through outright lies and dishonest falsehoods about the state of the country. True information is suppressed in favor of narrative-based news that promotes racial division and foreign war.

Altogether, this amounts to an absolute hell for the ordinary citizen. To consider that some individual has dreamed up this campaign is so farfetched given the absolute evil a group of people must be possessed by in order to want to do this to their own countrymen. The alternative is that there is no definitive leadership, so in the chaos and anarchy of feeble attempts at progress, the end result is total disarray and destruction.

Through it all, there is no clear indication whether foreign influence plays any role. Realistically, given modern techniques in warfare, the level of control that can be exercised through digital internet-based screen-centered technologies combined with other forms of signals intelligence is at a point where individuals, small groups, and large crowds can be manipulated unless they are acutely aware and vigilant.

Awareness and vigilance is totally lacking.

The technocracy has seen to it that individuals rarely communicate information through spoken conversation. Instead, they are encouraged and forced through an array of aspects— a financial system that has been structured to minimally benefit private individual citizens, an infrastructural system that requires total obediance to state authority to utilize, a cultural system that prevents free travel through wealth restriction, a society that encourages blind zealotry favoring the fascists in government and corporations.

Through it all, if the individual citizen attempts to speak and participate in public discourse, one will find there are censorships in place. Individuals do not want to cooperate to build together, instead in favor of chasing fame or fortune on their own. Powerholders have no attention for the individual’s concerns, instead listening to whomever is the wealthiest, because that is a way the politician can gain wealth. Recently in Washington at a congressional hearing on the weaponization of the justice system, a private citizen attempted to speak and participate in discourse. A Democrat Party member on the committee rudely shouted down that civilian by saying, “You cannot speak here.”

What democratic society does not allow private citizens to speak in the federal legislative sessions? This is totally outrageous. The fact that nobody is speaking out about this reality shows clearly how bad the situation is. The citizenry has totally lost perspective on what a democracy is and how democracy is practiced— or even how a civil society functions.

Look at these congressional committees, where a sheepish audience sits perfeclty quiet and says nothing and reacts not at all to highly politicized conversation. There is no outcry when officials say the most ridiculous or outrageous things— even lies and falsehoods are allowed to air with no rebuke.

There must be leadership that can restore the actual practice of democracy, the power of the individual, and the cultivation of local communities.

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.
