A few days ago, we celebrated the near-death experience of HB1711. This incremental red flag law would open a door, or get the camel’s nose under the tent, to more intrusive versions in future legislative sessions. It was tabled in the NH Senate until Thursday, when ” Republican” Rep. Terry Roy attached it to another bill.

The legislation is meant to appear harmless and purposeful, keeping firearms from the hands of mentally unfit people. As we noted on Tuesday, this is not a bad idea unless, in the course of the exercise, you risk infringing on the rights of innocent, law-abiding citizens. Red Flag laws are preemptive. There is no middle ground. And pretending this legisaltion has property and due process rights is not even a positive. It is an admission that this is what Red Flag law becomes and HB1711 is little more than a foot in the door.

The NH State Senate, surprisingly, slowed its roll until Rep. Roy, a prime sponsor, Dr. Frankensetiend that dead body, bringing it back to life.

Roy, a suspended police officer in Massachusetts, lost his carry license for allegedly lying on the application questionnaire (HT—NHFC). Now he’s a state Rep from Deerfield pushing Red Flag laws. His HRA has never been below 92% based on a quick review of recent scorecards, so this persistence puzzles. As former law enforcement denied a carry permit, you’d think he’d have a sensitivity to the vagaries of legislative interference with the natural right to self-defense.

Nope. Let me guess. One of your constituents asked you to submit this bill.

Sorry, that won’t do. HB1711 is his baby, and he’s not ready to let it go. That makes it incumbent on us to ensure it gets tabled or dies some other more permanent death.

I will update this post as soon as I know to which bill it has been attached (I am waiting for a response).

[Update] SB476 is the bill to which the text of HB1711 has been attached!

SB476 makes “a capital appropriation to the department of corrections toward the replacement of the New Hampshire state prison for men and authorizing the state to report mental health data for firearms background check purposes and providing for processes for confiscation of firearms following certain mental health-related court proceedings and for relief from mental health-related firearms disabilities.”

This follows up on my outstanding post: America Has Fallen … You Better Have An Exit Plan. If you haven’t read this outstanding post yet, now is the time to do so. If you have, it certainly is worth several rereads. The point here, as there, is: While the GOP talks, the Woke-Communists (a/k/a Democrats) act.

Bitter-clingers, you need to understand that there is no “rule of law” when the “judges” are Woke-Communist “agents of change.”And here we have the America-hating Barack Obama celebrating the Biden-Regime (which he runs) achieving the milestone of 200 life-tenured America-hating Woke-Communist agents-of-change confirmed in the federal judiciary.

Anything a Red State does can be undone by these imposter-judges. Let me say it again, so maybe, just maybe it will sink in … these imposter-judges can and will strike down as “unconstitutional” State laws that protect girls sports, that require voter-ID, that prevent grooming, that ban sanctuary-cities, that regulate abortion, that ban “gender affirming” (i.e. chemical castration) of children, etc., etc. etc.. And the response of the vast majority of the GOP to such rulings will be to comply and to treat such rulings as an opportunity to fundraise … send us more money so we can put “originalist” judges on the bench.

But just keep telling yourselves that the 2024 election won’t be rigged worse than 2020, that deep-down the Democrats are “good people” who love America, that all you need to do is click your heels together three-times while saying “there’s no place like MAGA” and then magically thirty-five years of creeping Woke-Communism will be undone in an instant; etc., etc., etc..

Post Script: Here is a comment from: America Has Fallen … You Better Have An Exit Plan.

Exit to where? We either fight to the death for our America or die crybaby cowards.

Talk about not getting it. The “our America” the commentator wants to “fight to the death for” (which I’m sure amounts to having a MAGA-themed social-media avatar and belonging to at least one GOP Facebook group that the vast majority of voters don’t know exists) is no more. The commentator needs to reread America Has Fallen … You Better Have An Exit Plan.

When diving into the world of buying property in Spanish coastal provinces, there are a few key things you’ll want to keep your eye on. First up, the “nota simple” – it’s like the property’s ID card, laying out all the nitty-gritty details like who owns it, any debts or charges, and if there are any legal issues floating around. Think of it as your sneak peek behind the curtains before making any big moves. Another thing to watch for is “urban planning.” Sounds fancy, but it’s just a fancy way of saying what you can and can’t do with the property. Like, you don’t want to snag a sweet spot thinking you can build a beachside bungalow only to find out it’s protected land.

Then there’s the “cédula de habitabilidad,” or the habitability certificate. This little guy says your new place meets all the health and safety standards, so you’re not moving into a fixer-upper nightmare. And let’s not forget about community fees – they’re like the HOA fees back home, but in Spanish. These bad boys cover stuff like maintenance for shared spaces or keeping the pool sparkling clean. So, before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you’re not about to inherit a mountain of debt or a surprise bill for fixing up your new digs.

Understanding the Local Real Estate Market

When you’re diving into the real estate game in Spanish coastal provinces, understanding the local market is like having a secret weapon up your sleeve. Keep an eye on those property prices – they can vary big time from one spot to another. For example, a beachfront villas in Marbella might cost you an arm and a leg, while just a few miles down the coast, you could snag a similar pad for way less in a quieter town. It’s all about knowing where to look and what’s a fair price.

Don’t forget to suss out the rental potential too. If you’re eyeing up a spot as an investment, check out what similar properties are going for in the rental market. Touristy spots like Barcelona or Ibiza can rake in the euros with short-term rentals during peak season, but you might struggle to find takers during the quieter months. So, before you dive in, weigh up if you’re in it for the long haul or looking to make a quick buck.

Legal Considerations and Documentation

Alright, let’s talk legal stuff when buying property in Spanish coastal provinces. First off, you gotta get cozy with the “Escritura de Compraventa.” That’s the fancy Spanish term for the deed of sale, basically saying, “Hey, this property is officially yours now.” Make sure it’s all legit and signed off by a notary – you don’t want any surprises down the line. Oh, and keep an eye out for any liens or debts tied to the property. You don’t wanna inherit someone else’s financial mess, right?

Next up, let’s chat about taxes. Yeah, I know, nobody’s favorite topic, but it’s important. When you buy property in Spain, you gotta cough up some cash for transfer tax or VAT, depending on if it’s a new build or resale. Plus, there’s that annual property tax called “Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles” (IBI for short). It’s like the property tax back home, but with a Spanish twist. Make sure you’re clued up on all these taxes and fees before diving in – nobody likes a surprise bill popping up outta nowhere.

Choosing the Right Location

Alright, let’s talk location when it comes to buying your first property in Spanish coastal provinces. It’s not just about finding a spot with a killer view – you gotta think about what you want outta the area. Are you all about that beach life? Then maybe a bustling coastal town like Malaga or Valencia is right up your alley. But if you’re after some peace and quiet, you might wanna scope out smaller villages tucked away from the tourist crowds.

And don’t forget about amenities – nobody wants to trek miles for groceries or a decent cup of coffee. Check out what’s nearby, like supermarkets, restaurants, and healthcare facilities. Plus, think about access to transportation. Sure, that remote mountain hideaway might seem dreamy, but it won’t be so great if you’re stuck without a car and miles from the nearest bus stop. So, before you fall head over heels for a place, make sure it ticks all your boxes for location, amenities, and accessibility.

Evaluating Property Types and Conditions

Alright, let’s talk about sizing up the different types of properties and their conditions when you’re on the hunt in Spanish coastal provinces. First off, you gotta decide what floats your boat – are you thinking apartment life, a cozy townhouse, or maybe a sprawling villa with its own pool? Each comes with its own perks and quirks. Apartments are great for low-maintenance living, but you might have to deal with noisy neighbors. Townhouses give you a bit more space and privacy, but you’ll likely have to shell out for community fees. And villas? Well, they’re the cream of the crop, but they can come with a hefty price tag and a whole lot of upkeep.

Once you’ve got your property type locked in, it’s time to suss out the condition. Keep your eyes peeled for any red flags like damp walls, wonky foundations, or leaky roofs – those can turn your dream home into a nightmare real quick. And don’t be afraid to ask questions or get a professional inspection done. It might seem like a hassle now, but it could save you a ton of headaches (and euros) down the road. So, before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you know exactly what you’re getting into with your new digs.

Financial Planning and Budgeting

Let’s talk dollars and cents when it comes to snagging your first property in Spanish coastal provinces. First off, you gotta crunch those numbers and figure out what you can realistically afford. That means taking a good hard look at your savings, income, and any debts you’ve got hanging around. Don’t forget to factor in those pesky extras like taxes, fees, and maintenance costs – they can add up real quick. And hey, don’t stretch yourself too thin just to snag that beachfront beauty – it’s not worth drowning in debt for.

Once you’ve got your budget nailed down, it’s time to start saving up for that down payment. Most banks in Spain will want you to cough up around 20% of the property’s value upfront, so start squirreling away those euros ASAP. And hey, if you’re not quite there yet, don’t sweat it – there are plenty of ways to boost your savings, like cutting back on those fancy dinners out or picking up some extra freelance gigs. So, get those piggy banks ready and start counting down the days ’til you’re kicking back in your own piece of Spanish paradise.

Navigating the Purchasing Process

Alright, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of actually buying that dream property in Spanish coastal provinces. First off, you gotta find yourself a solid real estate agent who knows their stuff. They’ll be your guide through the whole process, from scouting out properties to negotiating the deal. And don’t be shy about asking questions or voicing your concerns – this is your big investment, after all.

Once you’ve found the perfect pad, it’s time to get down to business with the paperwork. You’ll need to sign a “contrato de arras,” basically a pre-contract that lays out all the terms of the deal and requires a deposit (usually around 10% of the property’s price). Then it’s off to the notary to sign the final deed of sale and make things official. It might seem like a lot of hoops to jump through, but hey, it’s all part of the adventure of buying your first property in sunny Spain.

Working with Real Estate Agents

Alright, let’s chat about teaming up with real estate agents when you’re on the hunt for your first property in Spanish coastal provinces. These folks are like your trusty sidekicks in the property game, helping you navigate the ins and outs of the market. They’ve got the inside scoop on all the hottest listings and can clue you in on hidden gems you might’ve missed otherwise.

But hey, not all agents are created equal, so it pays to do your homework and find someone who’s got your back. Look for someone who knows the local area like the back of their hand and isn’t afraid to go the extra mile to find you the perfect spot. And don’t be afraid to speak up if something doesn’t feel right – this is your big investment, after all. So, team up with a real estate agent who’s got your best interests at heart, and you’ll be kicking back in your own slice of Spanish paradise in no time.

Conclusion

So there you have it, folks – the lowdown on what to keep in mind when you’re ready to dive into the world of buying your first property in Spanish coastal provinces. From understanding the local real estate market to navigating the purchasing process, there’s a lot to wrap your head around. But with a bit of know-how and some solid advice from real estate agents, you’ll be well on your way to snagging your own piece of paradise.

Remember, it’s not just about finding the perfect spot with a killer view – you gotta think about legal stuff like taxes and paperwork, weigh up your budget and savings, and choose the right location and property type for your lifestyle. So, whether you’re dreaming of sipping sangria on a beachfront balcony or exploring quaint villages tucked away in the hills, just keep these tips in mind, and you’ll be well on your way to making your Spanish property dreams a reality.

Trump proved it … proved that what the Woke-Communists have been saying about him is absolutely true. The man is a RACIST. He actually said … “It doesn’t matter whether you’re black or brown or white or whatever the hell color you are, it doesn’t matter. We are all Americans and we’re gonna pull together as Americans.”

This is RACISM. DT Ford, a State Representative supposedly representing Manchester, but who actually represents Hamas will tell you it is racism. So will Matty Wilhelm … the white, heterosexual (at least part of the time) male who leads the goose-stepping Woke-Communists (i.e. “leads” as in tells them what to think and say and do) in the NH-House. So will any good Woke-Communist. It is RACIST to view and treat people as individuals, not as mere factors of their skin color. It is RACIST to want to look past race. RACIST, RACIST, RACIST.

Here is Trump’s racist rant:

OK, taking a few minutes here from my job search because this HAS TO GET OUT.

So I’d listed several very concerning things in my prior post, Cultural Rot: It’s Much Worse Than You Think – Granite Grok.

Things spiraling down.  Consider this, in Germany:

 

 

Germany Just Decriminalized Child Porn. It Could Happen Here (thefederalist.com)

From here, times past (bolding added):

And people still trust official institutions…?!
This is horrific!

The ‘Kentler Project’ in West Berlin routinely placed homeless children with pedophile men, assuming they’d make ideal foster parents. A study has found the practice went on for decades.

Starting in the 1970s psychology professor Helmut Kentler conducted his “experiment.” Homeless children in West Berlin were intentionally placed with pedophile men. These men would make especially loving foster parents, Kentler argued.

A study conducted by the University of Hildesheim has found that authorities in Berlin condoned this practice for almost 30 years. The pedophile foster fathers even received a regular care allowance.

Helmut Kentler (1928-2008) was in a leading position at Berlin’s center for educational research. He was convinced that sexual contact between adults and children was harmless.

Several years ago two of the victims came forward and told their story, since then the researchers at Hildesheim University have plowed through files and conducted interviews.

What they found was a “network across educational institutions,” the state youth welfare office and the Berlin Senate, in which pedophilia was “accepted, supported, defended.”

The researchers found that several of the foster fathers were high-profile academics. They speak of a network that included high-ranking members of the Max Planck Institute, Berlin’s Free University, and the notorious Odenwald School in Hesse, West Germany, which was at the center of a major pedophilia scandal several years ago. It has since been closed down.

EUROVISION

Why Cyprus’ Eurovision entry has caused religious controversy | The Independent:

Elena Tsagrinou’s “El Diablo” will represent Cyprus at the annual event, which will be held on 18 May, but has faced a backlash from Christian groups in the country.

The track finds Tsagrinou singing about falling in love with a villainous man who she compares to Satan.

“I gave my heart to el diablo,” she sings. “Because he tells me I’m his angel.”

FAITH IS UNDER ATTACK

Everywhere, regardless of country or specific faith, it’s under attack.  Can you imagine thinking, even scant years ago, that Poland would do this?

Warsaw government bans crucifixes in city hall and makes preferred pronouns mandatory

Poland used to be the last stronghold of religion in the EU, but in the last year they’re being subverted at an alarming rate.

 

 

Even in the Holy Land, to the absolute disgust of the Orthodox / religious friends I have, the rainbow crowd is celebrated.  One specifically said, about a LGBTQP+ parade in Jerusalem, that the city was defiled by that parade.  And what’s worse, so many lay Jews cite this “wonderful tolerance” as something good.

 

 

You know, the Torah is pretty clear about this:

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

And no, I don’t call for executions or anything of gay people… but it shouldn’t be celebrated like this.  And certainly not given a religious waiver or blessing.

 

 

KIDS ENTERTAINMENT

A couple of years ago my son loved the cartoon series Jurassic World.  Until this:

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, the kids-focused spinoff of Jurassic World, features a homosexual romantic subplot in its latest episode

At which point he said something like “Enough of this gay sh*t”! and turned it off.  Forever.

 

 

REPRISING MY FIRST ESSAY

Comes this quote:

For each example this is a cast of a dozen or more… scores… possibly hundreds.  All on board.  Doubtless those who say WAIT ONE MINUTE are ignored or even punished.  So the rot goes deep.  Very deep.

Remember that all of this – ALL OF THIS – comes from the mind of a human being, possibly infernally inspired but still… from ONE mind, approved and promoted and paid for by MANY MINDS.  And protected by people thinking they’re good and noble and tolerant.

They really do want the world corrupted.  They really do want your children.  This is not just a battle in our culture… this is a battle for the very souls of all our posterity.  And remember – this has been going on for a long, long time.

Slowly.  Slowly.

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.
