When the New York Times publishes something, it is a sign to the coastal elites that it is okay to discuss it. Here are some guidelines, what you are to believe and disbelieve, none of which should be mistaken for reporting. These are instructions. They expand the narrative bubble to control the messaging.

Especially if the content substantiates something previously labeled by the Left as a right-wing conspiracy, like people harmed by the COVID injections, but here we are, three years and some months into a massive experiment, and the Paper of Record (at least for progressives) is opening the door just enough to allow its readers to broach the subject at the water cooler.

People of the Left. Vaccine injuries are real, with conditions.

Provisos, Restrictions, Limitations…

You are officially permitted to acknowledge COVID vaccine injuries (including yours) on the following terms. They exist. People suffer. Some of those people are progressives (more than average, given the uptake demographics). And they’ve been suffering in silence. Serious side effects are rare. Death from a COVID vaccine is still tied up in the stall. We’re not discussing it. I also saw no mention of mRNA, not that it matters. This story is not about how the Public Health Industrial Complex fast-talked a gazillion people into rolling up their sleeves for something that was neither safe nor effective. It is about how when harm happens, as rare as that is, the system isn’t very good at helping.

It is a “yes, vaccine injuries are real” smokescreen for a “government should do more” screed.

The Times thinks that corporate immunity (PREP) protections are the problem – which they are – but in this admission, the relationship is little more than an abused spouse who refuses to tell the police anything but how clumsy she is. I fell down the stairs. Again.

She has two left feet.

The NYT remedy for that “problem” is the same system that didn’t listen during the Pandemic and isn’t listening after it. As Jeff Childers notes, the cure is more of what didn’t work to fix what’s not working.

How could all this anti-progressive gaslighting and illiberal lack of sympathy have possibly happened? How can the Times reconcile this long period of denial and deception? Because it’s just so darn difficult to track vaccine injuries, and because we need even bigger government, that’s how:

The nation’s fragmented health care system complicates detection of very rare side effects, a process that depends on an analysis of huge amounts of data. That’s a difficult task when a patient may be tested for Covid at Walgreens, get vaccinated at CVS, go to a local clinic for minor ailments and seek care at a hospital for serious conditions. Each place may rely on different health record systems.

There is no central repository of vaccine recipients, nor of medical records, and no easy to way to pool these data. Reports to the largest federal database of so-called adverse events can be made by anyone, about anything. It’s not even clear what officials should be looking for.

Remember that time during the Pandemic when everyone who hates privacy and freedom insisted we should all have to carry around passports to move about in public? They thought paperwork to ensure you were inoculated with the government-approved serum that did not stop the infection from spreading would stop the spreading. More of them are the cure for this.

Yes, please, may I have another (the government punches Liberty in the face).

Hard Pass

Times readers might be doe-eyed by it all. A lover softly whispering I’m sorry, let’s work this out, along with a soft-sell story about people like them suffering from their blind embrace of everything wrong with what went wrong. We weren’t all in this together, but some of us are in this together, so let’s dust off the wife beater and grab the largest bottle of Knob Creek we can find and see how long it takes for me to “fall down” the stairs again?

But what about the revelation? COVID “vaccines” did cause injuries. That has to mean something!

You see, covid vaccine injuries are brand new types of injuries, so what can you expect from busy, hardworking scientists? Dr. Woodcock explained, “I mean, you’re not going to find ‘brain fog’ in the medical record or claims data, because it doesn’t have a good research definition.” The former FDA Commissioner insisted, “It isn’t, like, malevolence on their part.”

It’s not like malevolence. It is malevolence. It’s like deliberate institutional neglect. But they meant well. “Federal officials,” the Times explained, “worry that even a whisper of possible side effects feeds into misinformation spread by a vitriolic anti-vaccine movement.” But health agencies’ duty is to pursue the truth, even when it’s complex or inconvenient, not to curate a simplified narrative for their perverse perception of an infantilized general public.

They should be more concerned with letting the government do stuff (any stuff), but maybe that’s just me. And perhaps that has something to do with the Times poon-feeding its audience a taste of reality. It’s a sampler narrative. Take a sip or a bite, and if you know someone with inexplicable post-Jab complications or someone who knows someone, it’s okay to say that out loud to someone other than your therapist. But don’t get too carried away.

The issue isn’t how the government lied to you and hurt you and how the media helped cover it up to prevent people from avoiding the potential for harm; it is how the government is going to help us next! It’s risky. This snowball at the top of the Matterhorn could gain both size and momentum, but maybe that’s a good thing. An out-of-control problem of that scope can only ever be handled by the government, right? So let’s agree on that (hopes, the Times).

Hard Pass (Again)

Let’s agree that the response to the Pandemic was Pandemicm of scope so poorly handled that it created this problem with the help of the New York Times.

That if you let people go about their business and take Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin if they wanted to instead of engaging in medical witch trials, a lot of people might still be alive and healthy, and this Times article never gets written.

You’d (of course) have had no excuse for vote-by-mail, and Biden wouldn’t be president. No war in Ukraine. Peace in the Middle East. Russia, China, and Iran would still likely be cowed. Our economy would be stronger, gas cheaper, and there would be no Federal EV mandates or rapid transgendirification of the military. Neither the Taliban nor China would have many billions of dollars worth of US military hardware (abandoned in Afghanistan). The National Debt would be lower, still too high, but not like it’s risen under Uncle Joe. The Blue States and cities would not be underwater with the swarms of invaders because the border would have stayed secure, and immigration laws would have been enforced. The drug overdose and drug gang problem that had receded under Trump would not have reemerged, so more friends and loved ones would be alive. Crime would likely be lower, wages higher, and we’d have real job growth instead of the fake-Biden- government jobs-growth-Potemkin-village.

And the number of vaccine-injured would be a lot lower.

But that’s not what we got, nor what they want. Democrats vote for decline, even when faced with it, then vote for more of it, dragging everyone else along for a ride whose only allowable response or cure is more of what made things worse.

But they did admit there were vaccine injured.

The reason the DemocratsWoke-Communists use “democracy is on the ballot” as one of their elections mantras … is because most voters don’t understand/refuse to believe that America has NOT really been a democracy since the “intelligence community” killed JFK. The ignorance and manipulability of Americans is appalling.

Even if you have no knowledge of history prior to 2016, the Trump presidency is sufficient to understand that we have a permanent, unelected government that works hand-in-hand with globalists, corporatists, and the “media” to manipulate Americans. Excellent synopsis below regarding the actual insurrection/soft coup that began the instant Trump was elected … which most Americans, because they have been so manipulated by the Media, big tech, etc., etc., etc. consider normal behavior and NOT a soft coup.

And the soft-coup of 2016 was quite bipartisan. The GOP controlled Congress from 2016-2018. The GOP could have shut down the phony Congressional investigations, but chose not to. Why? Hint … the GOP’s leaders were named Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. Mueller was appointed by a DOJ that was supposed to be working for Trump. Why was that?

But just keep pretending bitter-clingers … Republicans, good; Democrats bad. Republicans, good; Democrats, bad. Slava Ukraine. Slava Ukraine. Slava! Slava! Slava!

Russiagate Was Always The Real Insurrection

The post Things You’re Not Supposed To Know Or Say appeared first on Granite Grok.

It’s weird what you remember. I distinctly remember being at my friend Phil’s house in the late 70s (early 80s?) and seeing a copy of Yankee Magazine. The featured article was about a proposal to put a dome over Winooski, Vermont.

Numerous examinations of the why, where, and what-for exist, but Winiooski gained fame and infamy, and it only cost someone else 55,000.00 dollars in federal grants to explore the idea. The Feds proposed it; Winooski said yes to the exploration but no to that dome.

Years later, the town, more woke than ever, has achieved a different kind of dome. One that protects exorbitant public school spending at great expense, which commenter Jay Eshelman noted a few weeks ago in comments.

Jay Eshelman

Consider Winooski, VT. Winooski just passed a $31,970,907 school budget serving approximately 764 Pre-k through 12th grade students. That’s $41,846 per student, for a kindergartner or a high school senior. And for that investment only half of VT students are academically proficient, suicides for 18–24-year-olds tripled last year, and drug overdoses have quadrupled over ten years.

Meanwhile, for perspective, parents can send their kids to VT State University for a full year of standard undergraduate college programs for $22,882 – and that includes room and board.

‘Suicide mission’ is a reasonable characterization for Vermont’s future (if one can call it a future). Forewarned is forearmed New Hampshire.

I don’t recall if it was a contender for comment of the week, but it shows us what happens when we lose sight of the point of public education. It is not sports, music, grooming, anti-racism theory, or – now – mental health care or indoctrination. All it was supposed to do was teach math, reading, and history (maybe ethics or debate). We get lip service to academics but plenty of the other stuff.

You’d be right to ask, but what about math and reading? And maybe we need a new institution for that? Something that isn’t training acolytes to some progressive god-state. You can try. Its defenders have crafted a narrative dome around the corruption of public education. The organized missile defense system of Union flunkies and local water carriers often shoots down locals who try to get inside. Those who make it in are bullied into a quick exit. It is rare to see any other outcome, and these are expensive losses, not just financial ones.

‘Public schools’ are not preparing children for much of anything. These kids, on whom more money is spent than perhaps at any time in the arc of public schooling, know less and are less capable than almost every previous generation, none of which had the modern tools or access to potential learning.

Dropouts from decades past likely left with more skills and learning than today’s graduates, while places like Winooski charge a premium for the decline.

Talk about shrinkflation. Joe’s worried about people paying more money for fewer chips in the bag while unions and administrators in Public Schools are demanding more taxdollars for an education that churns out kids a few cans short of a six-pack.

 

 

The post The ‘Dome’ Winooski Built appeared first on Granite Grok.

Yes, that’s what I said and it’s the harsh and unpleasant truth, as truthful as saying that Melanie voted for an income tax.  No member is exempt from blame so each one gets their rightful 1/24th, but some are definitely more deserving of rebuke than others, according to my report, but let’s first make it known that Commander Sharon put HB1002 on the consent calendar when it received a 5-0 committee blessing.

What that meant was that there was to be no floor discussion in the Senate chamber on Thursday.  About 17 minutes into the video of that day, she motions to Jeb to adopt the bulk batch of bills, and he asks the body, “all in favor, say ‘I’.”  And he almost forgot to do that, but the clerk reminded him to.  That, dear readers, was the very LAST window of opportunity before the Corner Office to fight back, when Jeb followed with an “anyone opposes?”  Sheeple!  Sharon’s sheeple, and I hold them to a higher standard than Donna Soucy’s sheeple because the latter is nothing but enemies of NH.

I spoke at April 9’s Judiciary Committee hearing against the RTK Tax and was followed by Laurie Ortolano, a local mentor and advocate who no longer needs an introduction.  The Grok Faithful should know that the Senate, as a government body, miserably failed at doing the People’s Work in a manner that serves the best interest of the people they’re elected to serve.  I will not close with any further editorial, just a summary of my activism and how it was responded to, so without further delay, here’s my report in the same order that the clerk calls the roll:

1) She was Included in two emails with nine others sounding the alarm on this impending train wreck. On Wednesday morning, I had a 5-minute in-person talk about my own local RTK experience with the assessor’s office, considering that she’s the daughter of realtors.

2) Cosponsor.  Signed into the Judiciary committee hearing register in support, though allegedly by someone else when I showed him a picture of it.  Played stupid on the idea of an amendment(exempting locals doing RTKs at their own city halls) along with his buddy, #17, in the presence of a District 17 constituent witness.

3) Senate President.  He had the opportunity to use his power in a variety of good ways, but he didn’t want to disrupt his big retirement announcement in the chamber while his wife was visiting.

4) Enemy camp, I don’t email them.

5) Enemy camp, I don’t email them.

6) Election Law and Municipal Affairs chair from a city aspiring to be “Nashua Jr.”  Emailed twice with 9 others(see #1), but at least he said thanks for the email both times.

7) Included in two emails with nine others.  No reply or in-person contact.

8) Included in two emails with nine others.  Discussed in person at last Saturday’s Pine Tree Riot event and got the “we’ll see about that” shrug.

9) Included in two emails with nine others.  No reply or in-person contact.

10) Enemy camp: I don’t email them.

11) Enemy camp, I don’t email them.

12) Cosponsor and senator in the most corrupt city in NH.  Much could be said, and a detailed timeline of communication could be built on communication attempts and dialogues with him.  He had multiple reminders and opportunities to apply the brakes, and he chose to let the train wreck happen.  It’s like someone watching a kid or blind adult about to get hit by a semi-truck and doing nothing.  If he’s expecting a “get out of jail, free” card because he’s MY senator, he’s in for a surprise because he was “just following orders”(from #14) instead of actually serving his constituency.  Also claims he’s proud of his record.  Is he now?

13) Enemy camp, I don’t email them.

14) Cosponsor, Judiciary chair, and 2nd in command, presumptive heir to the gavel.  Moved OTP in committee with minimal words said and the four other members went along without any resistance as seen in the April 18 executive session video.  Lives in same town as the Speaker of the House.  Coincidence(regarding where the power nucleus is)?  You tell me.

15) Enemy camp, I don’t email them.

16) Included in two emails with nine others.  No reply or in person contact.

17) Included in two emails with nine others.  Answered first email last Saturday morning with a “thanks Julie, I’ll take a look at the bill, have a great weekend.”  I had an unexpected encounter with him and #2, and he played stupid when I asked about the amendment.  Councilor Prescott appeared mid-conversation, and Nurse Terese observed the whole thing.  #s 17 and 2 are seemingly joined at the hip, freshmen who were ushered into their seats, along with #22 and with the blessings of the establishment elite.

18) Enemy camp, I don’t email them.

19)Included in two emails with nine others, both receiving auto-replies saying “Thank you for your email.  If you are writing about a particular piece of legislation, please know that I review all of my emails and I appreciate you taking the time to contact me.  However, due to the volume of emails I am receiving, it is no longer possible to respond to each one in a timely fashion.  The thoughts and opinions of my constituents are very important to me, and I will certainly consider your input.”  Unexpected in-person encounter Wednesday morning and had very little to say.  Also played stupid and clearly did not want to talk.

20) Enemy camp, I don’t email them.

21) Enemy camp, I don’t email them.

22) Included in two emails with nine others.  Also a Judiciary member and a lawyer.  Emailed numerous additional times before the hearing along with another Judiciary member and the chair and therefore very familiar with Laurie Ortolano’s story.  Packed up and walked out on the April 9 hearing instead of taking advantage of an opportunity to cross examine her with questions while at the mic.  Encounter Wednesday near kitchen elevator and started talking about his cats when I called out his name and said “I am disappointed in you, VERY disappointed.”  Often seen with Kuttab, who wants to go to law school and is the prime sponsor.  Friendly, but must think I’m stupid because I’m not a lawyer.

23) Included in two emails with nine others.  Also a cosponsor, Judiciary member and a lawyer and shares a secretary with my senator.  Emailed numerous additional times before the hearing along with another Judiciary member and the chair and therefore very familiar with Laurie Ortolano’s story.  No reply or in person contact regarding HB 1002, but promptly and cheerfully replied to a few emails about his sanctuary city bill and a higher office candidate he supports.

24) Enemy camp, I don’t email them.

That’s really a good point.  And it brings to mind this quote about forcing people to comply with untruths:

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

I remember seeing a video of the above event.  The two women, mother and daughter, are cheering and jumping at the “BORTED” sign.  Screaming together like fangirls having just gotten hugged by their favorite pop star.

Think about that.  The girl, having gotten pregnant through her own voluntary act, is celebrating the murder of her child.  But the mother is celebrating the murder of her grandchild.  Now, imagine in ten years when her daughter is married and announcing she’s pregnant.  Will there be even a frisson of regret or realization?

 

 

The ghoulishness of this is staggering.  But it’s of a piece: the denigration and diminishing of human life.  If they’ll celebrate this, the murder of an innocent – what will they do when they come to get you, a MAGA deplorable, who stands in their way of creating Socialistopia?

The post MONDAY MEMES appeared first on Granite Grok.

I have seen and heard the campus “protesters” described as Marxists. They are NOT. They are actually their own manifestation of socialism (which I call Woke-Communism), but if the choice is limited to Marxist and Nazi … the far better descriptive is Nazi. I will explain why.

Marxism and National Socialism were both 20th-century manifestations of socialism/collectivism/communism, whatever term you prefer to describe a system of governance where there is a ruling class and the rest of society is coercively structured to serve the ruling class under the guise of serving “the common good,” “the State,” “social justice,” “equity,” blah, blah, blah.

Marxism was a socialism based on class. Lenin said that German workers and Russian workers should not be killing each other but instead should be killing their bourgeoise overlords. (This was at the time of World War I, bitter-clingers). The campus protesters are NOT urging Palestinian and Israeli workers to unite and bring down the bourgeoise. They are NOT Marxists.

National Socialism was a socialism based on race. Hitler sought to unite all the Germanic people and use the Slavs as essentially slave laborers. And, almost as soon as the Nazis gained power, Hitler began instituting apartheid versus Jews and others … and I am going to assume you know how things progressed and ended.

The campus protesters have much, much more in common with Nazis than with Marxists. Their socialism, like National Socialism, is based on race … the Jews are the oppressors, and the Palestinians are the oppressed. The campus protests are a manifestation of the identity politics that is driving today’s Democrat Party.

Today’s Democrat Party represents a socialism based on identity. Society is to be coercively structured to supposedly protect the “marginalized,” the “oppressed,” blah, blah, blah … i.e., “people of color,” “LGBTQ+,” etc., etc., etc.. It resembles National Socialism in that your place in this society is to be determined by your skin color, your sexual preference, etc., etc., etc..

Today’s Democrat Party is actually quite similar to Hitler’s National Socialism. Calling them Marxists is imprecise. Calling them Nazis is much less imprecise. I use the term woke communists.

So, here they are!

Post: Promoted from Comments: “For a long time, parents have treated ‘public schools’ like some kind of birthright, to be funded at everyone else’s expense.”
Author: Houmid

Comment: The largest consumer of property taxes in New Hampshire are the school systems. Throwing more money at the schools is not improving our children’s ability to succeed and thrive. What that money is doing is driving more and more divisive programs that promote racial discrimination, sexual depravity, total confusion of reality, and a jobs program for so called educators that would never have been allowed to teach 100 years ago. More to the point, there are zero incentives for public school systems to halt rising costs, much less reduce them.

Property taxes make sense for the provision of necessary services that benefit everyone in a community. Municiple taxes for police, fire & rescue, and road maintenance are needs for everyone. Ditto water and sewage if your municipality provides them. Everything else is fluff. But property taxes for public schools is an abomination that never should have been allowed. Funding for schooling your children should have remained the responsibility of people with children, not everyone. Granted, nearly everyone benefits when education is provided to all children; so some limited taxation for those without children may be acceptable. Unfortunately, our governments suck when it comes to limitations.

The elderly, in general, have not had children in the public school system for over 20 years. The elderly, in general, have paid for 45 years into the public schools. The elderly, in general, will benefit from the services provided by those educated over that 45 year period. However, the elderly are most definitely not going to be benefiting from any further money dumped into the education system. Ergo, the justification for taxation of the elderly is non-existent.

Furthermore, the vast majority of the elderly are on fixed incomes. Their wealth saved over the years is static, or decreasing. Their property, should they own any, is usually their biggest source of wealth, and does not generate any wealth. In short, property taxes on the elderly for school systems is slow theft from the elderly.

New Hampshire currently has RSAs (72:39-a) permitting elderly exemptions from property taxes. The RSAs are convoluted, based on age, income, and assets. Most towns have a form almost as complicated as a 1040 to try to determine if you qualify. Basically, you have to be at the poverty level to qualify; which means it’s useless as a tool to discourage out of control spending.

I propose to simplify the situation. Rescind the current elderly exemption RSA 72:39; and replace it with a blanket exemption from all school taxes for any resident property owner 65 years or older. i.e. You have to own the property, you have to be living on it, and you have to be at least 65 years of age.

Post: Diversity Means, Less White People

Comment: All of us will be astonished when the time suddenly arrives. A consensus of the citizens in a situation like this is like a seed crystal dropped into a super-saturated solution. One moment there’s nothing but clear liquid, then one little speck falls in and suddenly there’s a huge mass of interlocking crystals. I doubt any of us will be able to predict the event or moment when the American people will have had enough, but it is pretty clear conditions are ripe. “Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable”, indeed. Just remember Jefferson’s next line.

What exactly will happen once that moment of clarity arrives, who knows? There are any number of actions which could conceivably completely alter the equation forever. Despite the pretensions of “the Men Who Would be Kings” they have nowhere near the power or knowledge to rule 340 million people scattered over 3.8 million square miles of often rugged territory, ESPECIALLY when the main thing uniting those people is a shared cultural heritage of liberty at least most of them know grew from the world’s most successful revolution. Something as simple as a campaign of passive resistance or even ‘malicious obedience’ is quite capable of bringing the entire corrupt edifice crashing down, to say nothing of sterner measures. Why do you think the “Men Who Would be Kings” flail about so desperately?

Their deepest fear is founded on the knowledge that America is only as governable as we CONSENT to be governed. A very large fraction of the population for a myriad of varying reasons is very close to deciding they no longer wish to play along. All that remains now is that spark, that clarifying event to finalize that nascent decision. Some day soon, the American people will remember that they are strong, and don’t HAVE to live in fear of those who are supposed to serve them. Then… things get interesting, in any of a multitude of ways. Only part of what happens after that I’m sure of is that it’ll sure suck to be one of “The Men Who Would be Kings” – just ask the ghost of Daniel Dravot.

Comment: The fact that the Ford was able to turn a profit despite the breathtaking losses in the EV Division can mean only one thing. When you buy an over-priced ICE vehicle from Ford, you are actually paying for two cars. One for you and one for someone who wants their virtue-signaling EV toy.

Comment: My wife and I have been working with the same institutional financial adviser for 20+ years, and this year when we asked what we should do to prepare for the future, he strongly suggested buying an emergency food supply and ammunition. This was not the typical investment advice, but we now have a 6-month food supply stored away.

Post: Homeschooling Survey: They Use Many Different Methods to Learn to Read
Author: CT Patriot

Comment: Thank you for this analysis, Jody. Even with this small sample of responses, I suspect the results can be extrapolated, applying as well to many more of the homeschool population.

I recall interviewing a high school teacher in Western Massachusetts about 20 years ago (on other matters), and asked him if he thought the literacy level was declining. He replied that at the beginning of every academic year, before he knew his students, he asked for a show of hands how many had parents who read to them–or with them–regularly. Very shortly, and continuing throughout the academic year, he observed that every single student who raised their hands was a fluent reader. Anecdotal results, to be sure, but very consistent.

Your survey results support Ian’s contention that you can’t force a child to learn when he doesn’t want to and, conversely, you can’t stop a child from learning when he wants to.

I guess it’s like the old Chinese saying (paraphrased): When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

Post: How Maine Gun Laws Help New Hampshire: Kittery Trading Post Threatens to Move All Firearms Sales to Granite State
Author: Recognizing_Truth

Comment: To determine whether a content- based law passes constitutional muster, courts generally apply a legal standard called strict scrutiny,
under which the government must show that the law is the “least restrictive means” of advancing a “compelling” governmental interest.
So, let’s take a look
1) A waiting period for a firearm has never been shown to diminish the number of suicides, so the argument that a waiting period is necessary because it will “save a life” of someone who is intent on killing themselves is unsubstantiated
2) A waiting period would not have stopped any of the shootings in Maine or elsewhere as every one of the criminals had the guns in their position for periods of time far exceeding “3 days”.
3) Criminals by nature do not follow laws. A waiting period for obtaining a gun will not stop a criminal who does not care about legal means of obtaining firearms, and only legal means of procuring are affected by the 72 hour waiting period.
4) The three day waiting period adds a hardship only with law abiding persons and businesses and adds an extreme hardship for those who have to travel to an FFL that is some distance from them (most of Maine is rural). One long trip to order and sign forms and have a background check. Then the long trip home. 3 days later another long trip to pick up the firearm and then the long trip home. The time, fuel, wear and tear on the vehicle, etc. significantly adds to the cost of obtaining the firearm and more adversely affects lower income individuals. The added fuel consumption in a state that claims all fuel burning should be curbed in the name of ending “climate change” is detrimental to the government’s other compelling interests.

The “government’s compelling interest” is unclear as none of the reasons given for adding this law clearly state what that interest is. As this doesn’t affect criminals intent on crime, but does restrict law abiding citizens in the exercise of their rights, the law does not demonstrate how it either would meet the government’s compelling interest, nor that it is the least restrictive method for doing so. It also more adversely affects lower income individuals and makes it less likely they will be able to exercise their Constitutional right. The law does NOT stand strict scrutiny and will fail judicial review as being unconstitutional.

Comment: Three and a half years later and the “truth” that most on the right already knew is being told. What are we to do when Washington is so corrupted that this type of activity is actually orchestrated from the White House and the ABC agencies? The bigger question is will there even be an election this November? What do the powers that be have in store for us this go-round? Will it be another plandemic? Will it be martial law declared to cancel the elections? Or will the puppets find a way to lock up or otherwise eliminate Trump? This is going to be the year that determines the fate of our entire existence as a sovereign nation.

The post Help Us Choose Another ‘Comment of the Week’ Winner! appeared first on Granite Grok.

Of the 7,309 aircraft in the U.S. commercial inventory, 3,173, or 43 percent, were manufactured by Boeing. As the world’s largest aerospace company and leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners and defense, space, and security systems, Boeing supports airlines and U.S. allied government customers in 150 countries.

It is acknowledged that air travel is one of the safest means of transportation. No mode is 100% safe, and it is comforting to know the efforts spent on ensuring the plane we board is as secure as humanly possible. The maintenance and safety inspections are integral to the airline industry’s safety record.

Recent incidents have focused our attention on the credibility of information supplied by Boeing about the quality and safety of the airplanes it manufactures. Admittedly, there are few incidents, but the facts behind the headlines are disturbing. Two in particular are alarming. The first is the door that fell off the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 in mid-flight in January. The fortunate element is that nobody was severely injured or killed in this incident. Unfortunately, the airline may have known the problem; therefore, the plane was restricted to overland versus overwater routes. This plane was at a low altitude when the door was displaced, which was a Godsend, for at cruising altitude, passengers may have been sucked out of the plane. A tire fell off a United Airlines Boeing 777 in March as it departed from San Francisco International Airport. The reasons for these two accidents were very simple. The door was missing a bolt, and the tire had missing nuts.

Boeing has come under close scrutiny and investigation because of these and other incidents. During these investigations, many whistleblowers came forward with disturbing information about alleged practices at Boeing that put airplanes and passengers at risk. Two of those whistleblowers are now dead. I have a difficult time believing this is a coincidence, but I hope to God these men were not killed to prevent damage to a major corporation. I am also not naive enough to believe it is impossible.

There is a core cause of quality issues at Boeing and other companies with similar problems in different industries: DEI. The emphasis on filling quotas and checking boxes in lieu of competence is causing devastating dynamics. I do not care about the color of the skin or the sexual preference of the mechanic, whose job is to put the bolt in the hinge to keep the door on the plane. I want them to understand and perform the job without error. We have abandoned excellence for teamwork and employee feelings that we are paying the price by putting ourselves at risk of injury or death. Had that door fallen off at 40,000 feet over the Pacific, we would have been talking about a major disaster.

People are beginning to understand that DEI is harmful for many reasons and are taking action. Even in my hometown, parents have spoken up and forced the school board to terminate the DEI coordinator who had been placed by the local BLM chapter. People are taking back our country, which had been restricted and modified by the Radical Left and exacerbated by COVID.

There will be investigations, and Boeing will be held accountable for their actions and issues. Hopefully, the death of these two men who bravely came forward to point out issues at Boeing will be found to be natural. If not, we have far deeper problems to address.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Notable events since 2021 include:

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

 

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