If an enterprising teacher looked at their District’s cost per student and then created their own micro-school with even 20 students, they’d be earning far more than at their static union wage ladder.

Seeing that those “negotiated” wages are sticking to the newly minted teachers, I offer my unsolicited advice to work a couple of years “inside the system,” find out how you can improve on the teaching methodology demanded “by the system,” and strike out on your own. Why?

The Democrats’ only solution to the fact that our public schools are awful is to spend more money on them. But that is precisely the policy we have been following for decades, with terrible results. This chart, from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, tells the story. In constant dollars, spending on education has skyrocketed, while student achievement has stagnated.

You can capture some of that rise in the cost of that system for yourself.

Sure, a coupla/few years to provision your classroom and then it’s more for you – reaping more of the rewards of your labor.

For Parents – would you accept the same results for your child with only higher costs eating at your bank account? I have two great questions for you to ask your elected School Board representatives:

1. What is the overall rise in spending for the District over the last 10 years, including all Warrant Articles (stuff not in the regular budget)?
2. Why aren’t our childrens’ achievement levels increasing at the same rate?
3. What percentage of each class, K-12, is at the Proficient level or above?

Now, GOOD school boards will try to get an answer back to you. BAD school board members will ignore you under the rubric of “we only wanted your votes but keep your questions and comments to yourselves, you rubes”. Vote those kind of school board members out.

Oh, as to #3 –  flip that percentage around to see how many children are being failed in the government school system. Then starting asking them REAL hard questions.

In one of my favorite movies, The Shawshank Redemption, an innocent man who is wrongfully convicted of murder and imprisoned for many years is ultimately vindicated after patiently and methodically pursuing justice.

I can’t help but see similarities between this film and what happened to me as an employee of the Dudley-Tucker Library in Raymond, New Hampshire, over the past year and a half. While the activity that I was persecuted for was much different, and the length of time it has taken for me to be vindicated has been much shorter (although it has seemed like an eternity), both stories offer the redeeming message that justice will ultimately prevail and that, as Shakespeare wrote, “the truth will out.”

Well over a year ago, on April 5, 2023, I was fired from my job as the Assistant Director of the Dudley-Tucker Library in Raymond where I had only been working since the previous December. Like all new employees, I was still within my probationary six-month period. As far as I knew, I was performing all of my job duties in a satisfactory manner. On this particular morning, however, the library director, Kirsten Rundquist Corbett, informed me that she and the library trustees, Jill Galus, Sabrina Maltby, and Valerie Moore, had decided to fire me. I was presented with a termination letter signed by Corbett, Galus, Maltby, Moore and then-town manager Ernest Creveling. This letter claimed that I had “not fulfilled the conditions of employment because of [my] lack of separation of personal/political values and agendas from DTL policies, procedures, and occurrences.” In a sudden state of shock and confusion, I could hardly process the words contained in this document.

Unable to identify any negative actions on the job that could have justified my dismissal, I asked if my termination had anything to do with my recent political activity in my hometown of Atkinson, New Hampshire, which I represent in the State Legislature. A couple of months earlier, I had recruited two conservative candidates to run for the board of library trustees in Atkinson, and I had continued to support them in their campaigns. This activity included writing an endorsement letter to a local newspaper that highlighted how these candidates believed in “protecting our children from the increasing amount of inappropriate material available both in print and online without sacrificing the intellectual freedom that has always characterized public libraries.” To my disbelief, Corbett affirmed my suspicions. Understandably upset, I succumbed to the natural “fight or flight” response by opting for the latter choice; I wanted to get out of that library immediately. Completely blindsided, I signed the termination letter and left. Only later would feelings of indignation motivate me to fight back.

Suddenly finding myself without a job, I reflected back on the weeks preceding my termination. I recalled the very politically charged environment I surprisingly found myself in. Some concerned Raymond residents had drafted warrant articles pertaining to the library that were to be voted on during that town’s upcoming election in March. One of these articles called for the removal from the children’s room of inappropriate material while the other pertained to the Dudley-Tucker Library ending its membership with the American Library Association, an organization which has been increasingly called out for promoting inappropriate material to children. In the weeks leading up to this election, many patrons commented to staff about these warrant articles when they came into the library both in support and in opposition. I tried to maintain an appropriately neutral position throughout this time even though other staff members freely expressed their opinions. The trustees even made a video that was posted on the library’s Facebook page by the director advising citizens to vote against the warrant articles, a situation that eventually led to the New Hampshire Attorney General sending a “cease and desist” letter to the director and trustees in response to this clear violation of electioneering laws.

In the days that followed my termination, I thought about this double standard, and I began to realize that a great wrong had been done to me. The trustees and director had egregiously violated my First Amendment right to free speech by terminating me for recruiting, supporting, and endorsing conservative library trustee candidates. I was fired for voicing my opinion about candidates outside of work time and even outside of the town I worked in. I began to wonder if I would have been fired if I had supported candidates who espoused beliefs more congruent with the ALA agenda.

I realized that, while new employees on probation can be fired for just about any reason, they cannot be fired for a reason protected by the Constitution. My right to support any candidate is ensured by the First Amendment. As permitted by state law (NH RSA 202-A:17), I requested a public hearing to discuss the circumstances related to my termination. While waiting for a response to this request, I also obtained a copy of my personnel file. This file included a copy of my published letter-to-the-editor mentioned above. The phrase “protecting our children from the increasing amount of inappropriate material available both in print and online” was highlighted, apparently because it was a section that was considered controversial. My endorsement obviously implied that I held the same belief, and this was the belief that the trustees and director objected to me speaking out against. To my utter astonishment, I also found a copy of a private e-mail message in my employee file. This message had been sent to the chair of my local Republican club and was only intended to be distributed to members of that group with the purpose of recruiting conservative library trustee candidates.

When I did not receive a response to my request for a public hearing after a week, I sent another request, this time threatening legal action. Two days later, on Friday, April 21st, I was surprised to receive a termination rescindment letter. Obviously, my adversaries had realized that they had done something wrong and didn’t want to get in trouble, so they attempted to brush their error under the rug. Returning to work three weeks after my dismissal, I felt like I had entered some sort of “twilight zone” in which I had never left, had never been fired, and had never been gone. There was no recognition that something egregious had happened, no apology, and no mention of my termination.

Despite being rehired and even being paid for the time I had been away, this ignoring of a great wrongdoing was troubling to me. Where was the justice and the certitude that such a violation would not ever happen again? Although I was re-hired with back pay, I was left feeling that justice had not been adequately served. I found it particularly troubling that the library trustees had violated my rights because, like all elected officials, they take an oath of office in which they swear allegiance to the Constitution. By wrongfully terminating me, these trustees had violated their oaths by infringing on one of the most important rights in the Constitution—freedom of speech. My reinstatement alone did not achieve adequate justice because the crime that the trustees and director committed had gone unrecognized.

In search of a more satisfactory resolution to this situation, I sought a legal remedy. I spent the next few months seeking legal representation from a number of nationally recognized organizations, but these groups, unfortunately, declined my case because it didn’t quite fit in with their missions. My final attempt at securing justice was a plea to the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ). I assumed that my request for legal representation would be denied until I heard back from ACLJ attorney Nathan Moelker. Speaking with Mr. Moelker at length one afternoon last August, I felt that someone finally understood what I was fighting for – not money or revenge, but simple justice.

Over the next couple of months, I frequently communicated with Mr. Moelker and the lawsuit was officially filed on October 27, 2023. In the months that followed as Mr. Moelker and his associate Ben Sisney negotiated with the defendants’ counsel, I found it extremely awkward and difficult to go into work every day having to interact with a supervisor who I was suing as well as the other defendants who frequently came into the library.

While this lawsuit initially demanded a jury trial, I was concerned about the amount of time such a trial would take and the emotional distress that it would cause. During negotiations between the lawyers on both sides, a financial offer was made in exchange for my resignation. Such a settlement, however, did not feel right to me because it would give the defendants exactly what they had wanted when they committed their original crime – my departure. I ultimately rejected this offer and remained at my job, difficult as it was to do so. Since my goal was to simply secure some recognition of wrongdoing and the assurance that such wrongdoing would never happen again, I ultimately agreed to a settlement that would achieve these ends in the form of a “consent decree.”

Finally, the defendants agreed to this decree. Basically, this document acknowledges that the “Dudley Tucker Library regrets its conduct toward [me] and the violation of [my] constitutional rights.” The decree loudly and clearly declares that terminating me for my political activity “constituted a violation of [my] First Amendment rights”! It further assures that the library and the town “will take any other actions reasonably necessary to ensure this type of constitutional violation does not occur again.” The decree recognizes the right of town employees to engage in political activities when not at work. It even stipulates that the town employee handbook must be revised to include a section acknowledging the right of employees to participate in political activism outside of work.

I have since left my job as Assistant Director of the Dudley-Tucker Library, but my resignation was offered in order that I can pursue a new opportunity, not because I would receive financial compensation in exchange for acquiescing to the demands of those who wronged me. Once an acknowledgement of their wrongdoing was finally made and a promise that such a transgression could never happen again, I left my job. This recognition is all that I had ever wanted during the many months that followed their egregious violation of the First Amendment. Such a violation seemed especially hypocritical since it happened in a public library, an institution that is supposed to be a shrine to free speech and intellectual freedom. I consider the resolution of my case, thanks to the hard work of the American Center for Law and Justice, to have ensured the redemption of one such institution, and I hope that it serves as an example to every public library not only in New Hampshire but throughout the entire country.

I would like to acknowledge the ACLJ for representing me pro bono. Such representation is made possible through the generosity of donors who truly support justice. Please consider financially supporting the ACLJ!

Here is James Roesener sermonizing about how her “community” is “marginalized.” (Due to the lag between submission and posting, a post I previously submitted about Roesener has not yet been posted as of when I am writing this – 6/19.)  Here is the LINK to Roesener’s sermon.

Halfway through #PrideMonth, hear from Rep. James Roesener (D-Concord) on what it means to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. #NHPolitics pic.twitter.com/Vcw8uSYI92

— NH House Democrats (@NHHouseDems) June 17, 2024

If Roesener actually believes what she is spewing, she is DELUSIONAL. The entire month of June is now devoted to her “community.” That is the OPPOSITE of being marginalized … that is being acclaimed, celebrated, elevated, promoted.

Virtually every institution in America, not just in June but year round … the federal government, State government, local government, Big-Tech, the media, Hollywood, professional sports, major corporations (e.g., Disney), etc. … acclaim, celebrate, elevate and promote LGBT (and whatever other additional initials are de rigueur). That is the OPPOSITE of being marginalized … James’ “community” is virtually everywhere and virtually all the time being acclaimed, celebrated, elevated, and promoted.

For example, here is the Vice President’s official residence turned into a set for Queer Eye:

The people who are actually marginalized are everyday Americans who resist the Woke-Commie hive-mind. They get visits from the FBI for wrong-think. How many times do you think the FBI has shown up at James’ door?

To paraphrase Khabib … Roesener’s sermon is number-one-bullshit.

My name is Ted Lloyd and I’m running for State Rep in Kingston and East Kingston to be your eyes, ears and voice in Concord.

When elected, I will work with our legislative delegation to:

• keep the NH economy strong and lower our tax burden
• restore the security of the Northern and Southern borders
• ensure that our elections are secure
• bring back excellence to education.

And, I will fight to ensure that NH legislation is always within the boundaries set by our New Hampshire and U.S. Federal constitutions.

Our two towns are fortunate to have a strong delegation to the to the State House:

• Bill Gannon of Sandown represents us in Senate District 23;
• Mark Pearson of Hampstead represents us in Rockingham House District 34;
• Ken Wyler of Kingston and Deb Hobson of East Kingston represent us in Rockingham House District 14.

I know each of them very well — I’ve worked with them, and I’ve campaigned with them.

Rep. Hobson has decided not to run for re-election.

I’ve been encouraged by Rep. Wyler and Rep. Pearson to run for her seat, and I’m working with former Rep. David Welch to become more familiar with the details of the job and the people in the House.

Even as a newcomer to our legislative team, I am well-prepared to work with Ken, Mark, and Bill to listen to you and to work for you in Concord. I will work closely with them to serve the people of Kingston and East Kingston.

My Background

I was born in 1946, an early member of the “baby boom” generation. My father was the son of an immigrant father and a Yankee mother. My mother was the daughter of an immigrant father and a native-born mother. My wife Gisela is a German immigrant and naturalized citizen.

I was raised in a small suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota, and have a liberal arts Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Business Administration.

I joined the Gillette Company in St. Paul in 1979, was transferred to the Boston area in 1989, rose to the ranks of senior management, and retired at the end of 2001.

My values and priorities come from three areas that form the basis of my personal philosophy: God and Church, Family and Community, and our State and Nation:

God & Church

I am a Christian and an active member of Trinity Church in Kingston.

I believe that God and His Church are the fundamental sources of moral standards and virtue in the world.

Family & Community

Gisela and I were married on January 1st, 1997, and our blended family includes two sons, two daughters, and 14 grandchildren.

I believe that the family is the elemental organizing unit of humanity and that the community is the basic building block of civilization.

Gisela and I moved to East Kingston in 2004, and over the past 20 years have made it our adopted “home town.”

I have served on:

• East Kingston’s New Library Building Committee, which built our new Library
• the Library Board of Trustees for 10 years
• the Planning Board
• the Salary Review Committee
• the Co-op School Board, and
• the Trustees of the Trust Funds for the past 11 years, for which I am the chair.

I believe that marriage and the family are the elemental organizing factors for humanity and that the community is the basic building block of civilization.

I firmly believe in giving back to our community.

State & Nation

My father fought in World War II with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific theater. I am a Vietnam-era veteran, having also served in the Navy from 1968 to 1972.

I am currently the Chair of the East Kingston Republican Town Committee.

Previously, I served for five years as the Treasurer and then 1 year as Chair of the 4-town Republican Town Committee, of which East Kingston was a part.

I believe that the people are sovereign and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

I believe that governments are established by the people to secure those rights.

I believe that our Federal Constitutional Republic was formed to perform certain delegated but limited functions of government.

It is under these terms that we owe allegiance to our Nation.

I Need Your Support

I humbly ask for your support in my campaign and for your vote in the September 10th Primary Election. Here are some ways you can help:

• Tell your friends and neighbors about my campaign
• Sign up for my e-mail list to get updates on my campaign
• Allow me to place a yard sign on your property
• Volunteer to help with my campaign. I need people to
• write letters
• to hold signs for me at events
• to help me go for-to-door meeting voters, or
• to make phone calls for me
• If you can, I need donors to help defray my campaign costs. $25, $50, $100 or more would be a significant help
• Finally, and most importantly, please VOTE FOR ME in the Primary Election on September 10th!

Not everyone has been able to take advantage of the gobs of taxpayer money pouring between the seams to encourage the adoption of so-called green technologies. And it’s not because they aren’t truly green. Joe’s Build Back Better has beaten back business.

Inflation and demand have made surviving in this “environment” challenging.

Electric vehicle maker Fisker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the second electric startup to do so in the last year as even industry leaders struggle to lure more buyers beyond the early adapters of the technology. …

“Like other companies in the electric vehicle industry, we have faced various market and macroeconomic headwinds that have impacted our ability to operate efficiently,” the company said in a prepared statement late Monday. “After evaluating all options for our business, we determined that proceeding with a sale of our assets under Chapter 11 is the most viable path forward for the company.”

It’s too expensive, even with government-backstopped bailouts or incentives. The free money doesn’t make up for the devalued currency and the rising cost of doing business. And Fisker is based in California, where Gov Nuisance has promised an EV in every driveway by 2035 or some such thing with the caveat that you, thanks to rain taxes, might not be able to afford (or want) a driveway either.

The not-so-sunny economic picture has also claimed one of the nation’s largest solar installers.

Titan Solar, which installed thousands of systems across the U.S., informed its employees June 13 that it was “closing its doors,” having failed to secure a buyer for the company, according to an email obtained by TIME. In the email, Titan said that it had helped over 100,000 households go solar.

Titan is not the only solar installer to close up shop lately. The company, which could not be reached for comment for this story—its website has shut down—is one of 16 major solar outfits that have filed for bankruptcy in 2023 and 2024, according to Solar Insure, which offers warranties and monitoring for homeowners who have solar. They include Pink Energy and Vision Solar, which like other operators in the industry faced regulatory action and numerous consumer complaints. Customers are left with solar panels on their homes that they may or may not want. Some are working with lenders to find another company to take over the maintenance of their panels; others are just trying to get out of the loans.

Residential installs peaked as fly-by-night “startups” appeared magically to line up at another taxpayer-fed feeding trough. However, relying on government handouts to incentivize private market sales is not a sustainable future, especially in a high-inflation economy. Sure, you can find cheap solar panels from China made with slave labor and dirty coal, but it doesn’t help with all the other fixed costs.

Related: Night Cap: Solar Panels Are Getting Exponentially Less Green By Leaps and Bounds

The cost of doing business climbed like Joe, out of the basement and into the heart of DC police making. Thining margins and price pressures on customers erase any incentive benefits, and if you can’t afford to feed your family, a solar install is probably not even on your radar.

The wind isn’t faring much better, not from a lack of trying—and they are still trying, and why not? Sure, it blows electricity prices into the stratosphere, but Companies that embrace wind get a huge tax credit.

“For example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” – Warren Buffett

This is driving Offshore wind as misguided environs, opportunistic politicos, and energy companies align despite the threat to consumers’ pockets and whales. Politicians want the green street cred, and Energy companies want the green tax credits, and no one cares who else has to pay. The scam is literally the very thing the keep it in the ground folks mean when they claim Big Oil gets all sorts of taxpayer support as if that would end if we stopped using Fossil Fuels.

Dopes. Every incentive or inducement is a product of politicians giving in to lobbying as if that would stop or isn’t in play. It very much is with a difference. Big Oil could stay in business without it – and provide abundant on-demand electricity. Green tech can’t and won’t even with the inducements, and the price for ratepayers is an economy-killing drag on everything else.

All lies and promises – the wind industry has finally been rumbled in Germany and is about to be shown the door in Australia.

The wind industry and its parasites have been guilty of more than just a little hubris.  Claiming to be able to deliver cheap, reliable sparks was always going to be their undoing. Gradually, Europeans are waking up to the unassailable fact that wind power is based on a technology that was redundant before it began.

No modern economy can run with electricity delivered at crazy, random intervals.  To compensate for that meteorological fact, Germany is flat out building more coal fired power stations – not less.  Around the globe the wind industry promises to displace “dirty” coal fired power and Germany is no exception. But the reality is very different: the facts have finally caught up with them – wind power will never replace fossil fuel generators and the cost of having capacity to back up wind power is astronomical.

German industry is bailing out and heading to the US – where power is a third of the cost that it is in Germany – and some 800,000 German homes have been disconnected from the grid – victims of what is euphemistically called “fuel poverty”. For Germans the attraction to wind power is fading fast – funny about that.

Less but still more than it should be.

We need to stop this progressive madness. The goal was to make electricity too expensive so we’d use less. What they seem to have forgotten is that making energy cost more makes EVERYTHING cost more. The combined rise in the cost of everything has an exponential impact on daily budgets and not just lifestyles but lives.

This deliberate assault has fueled inflation, already exacerbated by Democrat-Party-led DC policy.

 

The post Night Cap: Another Bad Week for Big Green as Inconvenient Truths Come Callin’ appeared first on Granite Grok.

Back in February, Steve posted, “As Pistol Brace Rule Teeters on Doom, ATF Defense Shifts To … You Can’t Sue Us.” He led up to that with this, and Ian had one of his own concerning Pistol Braces and the ATF bending to the Democrat “popular demand.

Let’s make it illegal to own this even if you purchased a brace when the ATF  (the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) said it was legal.

As opposed to the recent SCOTUS decision on bump stocks, in which the ATF tried to claim that a bump stock makes an AR-15 pattern firearm a machinegun by redefining Congress’ clear writing and definition of what a machinegun (a fully-automatic firearm whereby a single pull of the trigger results in multiple rounds being fired) is.

SCOTUS slapped them upside their heads with a stock of their own; this was the ATF trying to do an agency sidestep of the Administrative Procedures Act, which lays out a specific methodology by which a government agency can make regulations that have the Force of Law.

Sidenote: passed in 1946, the Administrative Procedures Act was a great move forward of the Progressive philosophy that the Constitution was outmoded and that we, the citizens, should not be governed by elected Representatives but ruled by “experts” that “know what’s better for you than you do yourself”. It set the stage for the explosion of regulations and in Congress basically giving up its Constitutional mandate to be the only entity that makes Law. Nowadays, it is the Executive Branch (housing all these agencies) that makes the vast majority of Law as Congress merely throws their bills over the wall for government employees to do the grunge work of fixing what Legislators didn’t want to take the time to do things right.

What we are now seeing is that mere agencies are changing their “interpretations” of a law to make it fit what they want. For instance, the EPA changing MPG regulations such that only electric cars can meeting them (and the unelected CA CARB doing the same thing there). Imagine that – we’ve allowed ourselves to be ruled by a neo-Aristocracy / Nomenklatura and not by our representatives BECAUSE we don’t hold the latter sufficiently to account.

/rant

So, a US District Court, Judge Reed O’Connor, ruled that the ATF couldn’t even follow the APA well enough to make their new Rule legal. It was a case of “ideology over law” (something we’ve seen too much of in the Biden Administration these past few years). So, adding a pistol brace to an AR-15 pistol doesn’t turn it into a barreled Rifle as defined in the National Firearms Act of 1935 (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Federal Judge Overturns ATF ‘Pistol Brace’ Rule

A federal judge in Texas has overturned a rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that targeted pistol attachments known as “stabilizing braces” or “pistol braces” and treated pistols fitted with such devices as short-barreled rifles, subjecting them to various restrictions.

In a 12-page decision issued on June 13, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor ruled that the ATF’s rule that treated roughly 99 percent of pistols fitted with the braces as short-barreled rifles violated the Administrative Procedures Act’s procedural requirements because it was not a “logical outgrowth” of the proposed version of the rule.
“The Court finds that the adaptation of the Final Rule was arbitrary and capricious for two reasons,” Judge O’Connor wrote. “First, the Defendants did not provide a detailed justification for their reversal of the agency’s longstanding position. And second, the Final Rule’s standards are impermissibly vague.”

These braces were invented to help disabled veterans who wanted to continue to shoot guns as a sport but were unable to do so due to their injuries. The ATF has, on several occasions, said that such braces did not force such pistols into the SBR category, which requires the same kind of scrutiny (and payment of a tax) due to machine guns and suppressors. A

After telling folks it was OK to have and use, their “Final Rule” pulled the rug out from underneath millions of gun owners and instantly made them felons…how convenient to destroy their Second Amendment Right to keep and bear arms!

So now that the Rule has been “vacated” (e.g., the ATF is not allowed to enforce it), it will most likely end up at SCOTUS.  I’m betting that they will slap it down (6-3) as well.

From the decision (emphasis mine, reformatted):

For close to a decade, the ATF concluded that “attaching the brace to a firearm does not alter the classification of the firearm or subject the firearm to NFA control.” The ATF changed course on this position for the first time in 2023, when it issued the Final Rule reversing the agency’s otherwise long-standing policy. “When an agency changes course, as [the ATF] did here, it must ‘be cognizant that longstanding policies may have engendered serious reliance interests that must be taken into account.’” Dep’t of Homeland Sec. v. Regents of the Univ. of Cal., 591 U.S. 1, 30 (2020) (quoting Encino Motorcars, LLC v. Navarro, 579 U. S. 211, 222 (2016)). “It would be arbitrary and capricious to ignore such matters” Id. But this is exactly what Defendants did when they inexplicably and fundamentally switched their position on stabilizing braces without providing sufficient explanations and notice.

Under the Final Rule, the ATF estimated about 99% of pistols with stabilizing braces would be reclassified as NFA rifles. The ATF contemporaneously issued approximately sixty adjudications pursuant to the Final Rule that reclassified different configurations of firearms with stabilizing braces as NFA rifles. The ATF provided no explanations for how the agency came to these classifications and there is no “meaningful clarity about what constitutes an impermissible stabilizing brace.” Mock, 75 F.4th at 585 (5th Cir. 2023). In fact, the Fifth Circuit “[could not] find a single given example of a pistol with a stabilizing brace that would constitute an NFA exempt braced pistol.” Id. at 575. Such “‘unexplained’ and ‘inconsistent’ positions” are arbitrary and capricious. R.J. Reynolds Vapor Co. v. FDA, 65 F.4th 182, 191 (5th Cir. 2023) (quoting Encino Motorcars, 579 U.S. at 222).

The Defendants’ [ATF] disregard for the principles of fair notice and consideration of reliance interests is further exacerbated by its failure to follow the APA’s procedural requirements for public notice and comment. As discussed above, Defendants failed to follow proper notice-and comment procedures because the Proposed Rule and the Final Rule differed in immense ways.

Essentially, the ATF pulled a “bait and switch” that if it were one of us, we’d end up in jail. How many of these evil government agents will suffer that consequence for this?

…Consequently, the Court finds that the Final Rule’s six factor test is so impermissibly vague that it “provides no meaningful clarity about what constitutes an impermissible stabilizing brace,” and, thus, that “it is nigh impossible for a regular citizen to determine what constitutes a braced pistol” that “requires NFA registration.” Id. at 584–85. Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED and Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED as to this issue.

So, all of the People of the Gun can now bring themselves “out of the closet” without fear of retribution (my non-lawyerly opinion), so it seems.

However, until folks in ANY agency who act in similar ways are forced to suffer a large consequence (big personal fines, jail time, money to the plaintiffs), this will continue across the government spectrum. Until TEETH are added into the mix with which to punish the guilty within government, we are subject to Tyranny.

Apparently, Louisiana has a new law that requires a copy of the Ten Commandments to be prominently displayed in each public school classroom in the state.

You might be thinking:  Hasn’t the US Supreme Court already ruled that this kind of thing is blatantly unconstitutional?

Of course, it has.  But you could say the same thing about the anti-gun laws that are being passed post-Bruen in states like New York, Illinois, and Hawaii. In fact, not too long ago, the Hawaii Supreme Court came right out and said what other states seem to be thinking:  They regard SCOTUS decisions as advisory rather than binding.

I’m not a big fan of putting religion in classrooms or taking guns away from citizens, but overall, I’m encouraged by this trend. It means that people may finally be figuring out that it is not, as John Marshall claimed back in 1803, ‘the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.’

For centuries, SCOTUS has — through a series of judicial opinions that are increasingly at odds with the plain words of the written Constitution — practically dared the states to start ignoring those decisions.  For a while now, I’ve wondered if it was even possible for the Court to go too far, and I’ve worried that it wasn’t.

But apparently it is.  I hope it’s not too late for the Court to go back to treating the document as something designed to be understood by fifth-graders rather than what it has become.  In Jefferson’s words: ‘A mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.’

You know, to go back to accepting that shall not doesn’t mean may sometimes.  That when limits on a right are not stated, they don’t exist.  That kind of thing.

As a good first step, we could require ISO 9000 training for judges.

The US Democrat Party was founded in 1828 by Martin Van Buren and was pivotal in electing Andrew Jackson, a former member of the US Army and Congressman.

Today, the US Democrat Party has lost its mandate to exist as a political party in the United States of America.

This party has proven itself to be a party of liars, thieves, hoaxers, criminals, and amoral bigots, among others.

This party has been thoroughly taken over by foreign-controlled forces in its devious alliance with the globalists of the Communist International and the World Economic Forum.

This party has spent decades perpetuating racial and ideological strife where none should exist.

This party has prevented real civilizational progress in the USA for generations.

This party has effected the largest event of mass murder in over fifty years— the COVID project linked with the globalist/communist Agenda 21.

This party has supported and disseminated misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation intended to turn back the clock on political progress in the USA, specifically by embracing extremist racial ideologies in support of segregation and discrimination by race.

This party has engaged in extremist racial discrimination that has resulted in thousands of deaths of morally upstanding US citizens.

This party has created and forced widespread election fraud on the US citizenry in order to install a demented president as a puppet leader.

This party has undermined the US election system in ways that are severely compromising US national security.

This party has created an agenda based on transhumanist philosophies associated with the World Economic Forum and Communist International that have forced young children— US citizens— to believe that it is proper and correct to self-castrate and attempt to change their birth sex, resulting in lower life expectancy and compromising reproductive capability.

This party has weaponized the District of Columbia political infrastructure to imprison thousands of peaceful protesters after a staged event at the US Capitol reminiscent of the Reichstag Fire executed by the Nazi Party circa 1940 in Berlin.

This party has continuously and unabashedly undermined and destroyed US law that serves as the foundational bedrock of civil society in the USA.

This party has conspired to imprison and harass a former US President on charges that are flimsy at best and are realistically simply make-believe.

This party has vigorously and consistently undermined true democracy, malevolently warping the very idea of democracy itself.

There are many more incidents that may serve as further justification for the end of the US Democrat Party.

And so, it is hereby proposed that the US Democrat Party be shut down and replaced by the Independent Party, to which the majority of US citizens claim to belong.

James Roesener is a State Representative who was elected in 2022 to represent Ward 8 of Concord. Perhaps you have never heard of Roesener, but her election was national news because she is an “out trans man.”

Let’s take a closer look at Roesener, bitter-clingers. When Israel began small-scale ground operations in Gaza (the full-scale invasion did not happen until October 27th), she posted in support of Hamas. Yeah, I know it says “Palestine,” but the military activity on October 13th involved small-scale raids against Hamas, so I would say the post must be interpreted as supporting Hamas, NOT civilian Palestinians.

And notice what’s on the wall, which apparently is Roesener’s place of work … “I MASTURBATE.” Gee, I wonder what they’re selling in that store (that was sarcasm, bitter-clingers). Here’s another look:

But there are more bitter clingers. Roesener, when she is not busy “transforming” America at the Statehouse, unwinds by performing in drag shows:

But not just any drag show. A drag show to fund “queer health care” … because in the dystopian world that Woke-Commies like Roesener live in you are simply a factor of your skin color, your sexual preference, etc., etc., etc..

Woke-Communism is the new “New Hampshire Advantage,” bitter-clingers. This State is “massed up” beyond repair. The name should be changed to mini-me-California.

Distress!

There are those who still think he’s doing a fine job.  FFS.

 

 

 

Two opposing things cannot be true simultaneously.

 

 

 

Do it.  DO IT!

No, I don’t like it, but they opened the door and if we’re “too noble” to walk through it, we’re ceding the field again.  This is a no-holds-barred bar brawl for the future of humanity and liberty – globally.  If we don’t get that, and aren’t willing to fight for it including holding these SOBs accountable, then may Hashem curse us for eternity for our cowardice.  Not just our cowardice for ourselves, but the betrayal of our posterity.

 

 

 

Conspiring to evade FOIA requests.  Isn’t that a felony?

 

 

My thought: “I like President Biden; I think he’s compassionate and doing a great job”!

 

 

 

Every time I went to Israel, I was struck by how green it really is – especially in comparison to many of the surrounding countries.  Last time we were there we planted some carob tree saplings.  Really rocky soil, but apparently they have this drip-irrigation system that puts water drops right at the roots so the trees have earth (even if with a lot of rock) and a steady stream of water to get going.

 

 

 

 

 

A little stale, and I may have mentioned it before… but imagine if they did this somehow?  If that happens, I think it’s time:

 

 

The above cartoon debuted here – some preamble essay.

 

 

 

 

 

That’s SLOWLY SLOWLY.  The analogy of the frog in the pot.  People don’t notice slow changes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Something changed.  I wonder what it could be.  Remember that the Jabs started a year-or-so after Covid was announced.

 

 

 

But… but… but we’ve been assured by our intellectual and moral superiors that the Great Replacement is a myth.

 

 

A failure of the daughter, to be sure… but also the parents.  I would be hard-pressed to wrap my mind around my daughter, once she grows up fully, doing this.

On a business trip oh, perhaps, 15 years ago I found myself sitting next to a woman who was a phone sex operator.  She freely admitted that she made north of 150K per year from talking dirty to men on the phone.  Holy carp!  But I wonder if she told her parents…

Speaking of women in today’s modern culture:

 

 

Real wife material women, there.  No matter how good / rich / etc. the man is, they’ll be combing through their memory and comparing the man to others, whether in hook-ups or dating, and entitled enough to think that if they just keep looking, they’ll find someone who maxes out on all their categories.  Comparing ability in bed, comparing wealth, comparing comparing comparing… and addicted to the rush of the thrill of the new that comes with so many different partners.

 

 

>>>>>=====<<<<<

 

PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA

 

 

 

The issue is not that corrupt people do with corrupt things.  That’s a given.  No, the issue that highlights the systemic, even societal corruption is that so many gloss over it as nothing to be worried about.  Examples of that corruption:

Secret Service Destroyed Video of Biden’s Dog Commander Biting Agent in Brutal Attack That Drew Blood | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

The entire system is rotten to the core.  Ethics and honor and loyalty to country are gone.  The fish is rotting from the head.  Hard times imminent.

 

>>>>>=====<<<<<

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In their own words.  And in their own words they talk about conquering the West and then the world.  Have the moral courage to take them at their word.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s an interesting cycle which, now that I’ve ready it, makes sense in terms of what’s observed.

 

 

Related is this, from when Israel was reborn:

 

 

Arabs invading… where again?

 

 

I’ve asked at the grocery store about this crap.  Apparently virtually nobody buys it.  And ok, ok, I used to like Morning Star Farms soy sausage… was actually looking for them the other day as a nostalgia treat… but this is a step past that.

 

 

 

The average voter will, I fear, still say “I trust CNN”, etc.

 

 

 

 

My direct male-line ancestor was with Washington crossing the Delaware.

 

 

 

 

The more I learn about this, the more I’m thinking that gallows are not enough.

 

 

There’s a woman I know (well, virtually know), had multiple partners, and is still active in the casual-contact *ahem* department, who doesn’t insist her partner use a condom but expects him to pull out.  FFS.

And there’s the STD issue as well.

 

 

 

 

 

This is an idea that, hopefully, goes viral.

Simpsonwood Documents • Children’s Health Defense (childrenshealthdefense.org)

Link to PDF embedded.  I have not read the PDF but if I understand correctly, this is the emergency conference in which they realized there was an “ironclad” (from RFK Jr describing it) link between vaccines and autism… and then ignored it to press forward with more vaccines.  And now a stream of related memes.

From here:

Hep B is a mandated childhood vaccine. Despite it not being a threat to children (bloodborne illness, typically transmitted by sex workers or drug users), not dangerous for children (“recover completely and do not develop chronic infection”), and was not adequately tested on babies (which is when it is typically administered).

Why is it that all mandated childhood vaccines follow the same formula: inadequately tested and administered for a disease that is not dangerous? Could it be because it’s about profit and not public health?

And then from their next post:

Tetanus: another vaccine that is inadequately safety tested. And this one doesn’t stop transmission NOR DOES IT CREATE ANY IMMUNITY TO TETANUS.

The Polling Industry has started to go into fourth gear as Nov 5th is fast approaching. Some want good results. Others, mostly commissioned by the Mainstream Media, are in fealty to the totalitarian Democrat Party (really, Biden is as sharp as a tack, you say?).

Then, there are those from the Political Activist Class (yes, I’m late to this party this time) who are already double-clutching up the gears. And then there’s this—actual betting on political races.

I just rediscovered RealClearPolling’s betting aggregation site: Betting Odds – 2024 U.S. President. People who have self-selected themselves and are using their own money are making their choices known.

The operative phrase is “self-selected.”

Add to that, regardless of their political interest, the phrase “self-interest.” People who are willing to throw their money at someone are called campaign donors. Instead, these bettors are looking for a return on their investment. They want to earn money on this “national transaction of 50 States’ Electoral College decisions.”

It is still 5 months out, and next month could be completely different, but one thing is sure. If these trends continue, the Dems are going to have the sads worse than when they learned that Trump had beaten Hillary (who is still an Election Denier over it all).

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, the cloud has become synonymous with innovation and efficiency. While it’s commonly associated with document storage and sharing, the reality is that cloud computing is the driving force behind many of the most popular workplace tools and resources. Let’s delve into how cloud computing is revolutionizing the way professionals approach their daily tasks and responsibilities.

The Versatility of Cloud Computing

Business WiFi service providers have long been recognized as essential for maintaining connectivity in the workplace. However, the rise of cloud computing has elevated their importance to new heights. Cloud-based applications and platforms rely on robust internet connections to function seamlessly, making reliable wifi services a critical component of any modern workplace infrastructure.

Enhancing Collaboration and Communication

One of the most significant benefits of cloud computing is its ability to facilitate seamless collaboration and communication among team members, regardless of their physical location. Platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace leverage the cloud to enable real-time document editing, instant messaging, video conferencing, and project management, allowing teams to work together efficiently and effectively, even when they’re miles apart.

Streamlining Workflow and Productivity

Gone are the days of cumbersome software installations and compatibility issues. With cloud-based tools, professionals can access their work from any device with an internet connection, streamlining workflow and boosting productivity. Whether they’re drafting a report on their laptop, reviewing spreadsheets on their tablet, or making edits to a presentation on their smartphone, the cloud ensures that work is always within reach.

Empowering Remote Workforce

The shift towards remote work has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and cloud computing has played a pivotal role in enabling this transition. Cloud-based tools provide remote workers with secure access to company data and applications from anywhere in the world, allowing them to stay connected and productive, whether they’re working from home, a coffee shop, or a co-working space.

Ensuring Data Security and Compliance

Despite its numerous benefits, the cloud also presents challenges related to data security and compliance. Business wifi service providers play a crucial role in ensuring the security of cloud-based systems by implementing robust security measures such as encryption, multi-factor authentication, and regular data backups. Additionally, they help businesses navigate complex regulatory requirements and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Driving Innovation and Scalability

Cloud computing has democratized access to cutting-edge technology, allowing businesses of all sizes to leverage powerful tools and resources that were once only available to large enterprises. From artificial intelligence and machine learning to big data analytics and IoT integration, the cloud empowers organizations to innovate and scale their operations without the need for substantial upfront investment.

Embracing the Future of Work

In conclusion, cloud computing has emerged as the fuel powering the most popular workplace tools and resources, transforming the way today’s professionals work and collaborate. By embracing the versatility, flexibility, and scalability of the cloud, businesses can unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation, and success in an increasingly digital world. So whether you’re a small startup or a multinational corporation, it’s time to harness the power of cloud computing and propel your business forward into the future of work.

I am the Executive Director of the National Heritage Center for Constitutional Studies and have been asked to explain as simply as I can why the changes to our election laws became the basis of my lawsuit against my government. In order to understand the conflict in my case, I believe the reader must first understand our form of government. The State of New Hampshire is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. The difference is critical to understanding the basis of my suit (N.H. Supreme Court case # 2023-0097).

First, the reader needs to understand that the Constitution of New Hampshire (Const. of N.H.) must be read in chronological order as each article builds upon the previous article. This order is by design and of importance, beginning with Part I, a Bill of Rights, and then Part II, a Form of Government created specifically to protect the Rights of the people.

In socialist democracies like Canada and England, people have surrendered their sovereignty to their parliaments to make laws that govern the people. Therefore, the people of those countries are no longer sovereign because they are now subjects of their governments.  That is, they are now subject to whatever rules, laws, or taxes their parliaments wish to force upon them by a democratic majority (mob rule).

But in a constitutional republic, the people retain their sovereignty. The people, not the government, create and compose the laws of the land. Part II, the Form of Government, is a specific list of duties established by the inhabitants of the State for their elected officials to act on behalf of the inhabitants, but at the same time, the inhabitants have specifically limited and restricted government powers only to those expressly delegated by the people. This means the inhabitants have enumerated specific limitations on government-actor powers.

The first and last sentence of the Constitution of New Hampshire establishes the origins of all governmental power in New Hampshire:

Part I, article 1 states

“All government of right originates from the people, is founded in consent,” and the last sentence of the Constitution established that only the inhabitants can alter or amend the Const. of N.H.

Part II, article 99 states  

“Provided that no alteration shall be made in this constitution before the same shall be laid before the towns and an unincorporated places, and approve by two thirds of the qualified voters present, and voting upon the question.”

Part I, Article 2 states

“All men have certain natural, essential, and inherent rights among which are, the enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing, and protecting, property;”

The sovereignty of the people is defined by the following articles.

Part I, article 7 states

The people of this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent State; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in Congress assembled.

Part I, article 8 states

“All power residing originally in, and being derived from, the people, all the magistrates and officers of government are their substitutes and agents, and at all times accountable to them.” June 2, 1784

The Const. of N.H. is a social compact.

It was first established by the qualified voters of New Hampshire. It defines “Inhabitants” as persons who possess political rights in order to protect their unalienable rights.

The Const. of N.H. has two parts.

Part I is a Bill of Rights which lists all the enumerated rights of the people; and Part II is the Form of Government, which is a list of specific powers that establish mandatory duties upon our agents and representatives and to protect the rights of the people in the performance of their constitutional duties.

Those persons chosen by the people swear an oath to protect those rights in the performance of their constitutional duties. The Bill of Rights Part I and the Form of Government Part II are some of the laws of the land established by the inhabitants of N.H. in 1784.

The right to vote and the definition of a qualified voter are defined by the Const. of N.H. Part I, article 11: …

“Every person shall be considered an inhabitant for the purposes of voting in the town, ward, or unincorporated place where he has his domicile.”

And the last sentence of art. 11 states

“Every inhabitant of the state, having the proper qualifications, has equal right to be elected into office.”

The word inhabitant is the only word in the Const. of N.H. that has its own definition in (see Part II, article 30),

Inhabitant defined:

“And every person qualified as the constitution provides Shall be considered an inhabitant for the purpose of electing and being elected into any office or place within the state, in that town, parish and plantation where he dwelleth in hath his home.” (1784)

It’s often instructive to look to our neighbor to the south, the State of Massachusetts, as John Adams was the author of the Massachusetts Constitution in 1780, which was used by New Hampshire as a template on which the founders improved.

In 1780, John Adams wrote.

“And to remove all doubts concerning the meaning of the word “inhabitant,” in this constitution, every person shall be considered as an inhabitant, for the purpose of electing and being elected into any office or place within this State,”

So, what does all of this mean? It means that citizens of the State of New Hampshire qualified to vote as the Const. of N.H. provides are “inhabitants” of N.H. They cannot be resident aliens currently living in N.H. It is a big difference. A resident alien is someone born or naturalized in any of the other 49 states who has chosen to move to N.H. Such resident aliens are still citizens of their home state until they apply to and become citizens of N.H. Therefore, resident aliens must vote as an absentee from their home state.

The Const. of N.H. Part I, article 11 also provides for absentee voting only for qualified New Hampshire voters:

“The general court shall provide by law for voting by qualified voters who at the time of the biennial or state elections, or of the primary elections therefor, or of city elections, or of town elections by official ballot, are absent from the city or town of which they are inhabitants, or who by reason of physical disability are unable to vote in person,”

It is a matter of settled common law in N.H. that “The legislature has no power to authorize the exercise of the right of suffrage,” … The Bill of Rights Part I, article 1, article 11, article 12, article 15; and Part II, article 5, and article 99 all prohibit the legislature from enacting any laws which are not derived from constitutional authority.

It is not an accident that Part I, article 11 is followed by Part I, article 12, and that together they fit the three elements of a legal contract at law, namely offer, acceptance, and consideration. And this is the basis of the social compact under the Constitution of New Hampshire.

Technically, The Const. of N.H. is a trust indenture (a.k.a. a social compact), and Part I, article 12 (Taxation and Protection clause) are reciprocal and provide to the citizens, inhabitants, and taxpayers of the State legal standing to challenge any act of the state government that is contrary or repugnant to the Const. of N.H. Legal standing has been a highly contentious political barrier to most of the 2020 election lawsuits filed across America, as judges issued preliminary rulings to have thrown out (before hearing or denied filing) over five dozen court cases challenging the election process and election outcomes. Political judges ruled that all parties filing election challenges “lack standing” to sue. So, they rule there is no case, and the court challenges filed are frivolous. So, let’s look at the New Hampshire Constitution for provisions about who has standing and can sue to protect their voting rights in a court of law.

The first part of art. 12 is the offer to contract: “Every member of the community has a right to be protected by it, (Part II, the Form of Government), in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property;” …

The second part of article 12 is the acceptance (the binding) of the offer to contract: “he is therefore bound to contribute his share in the expense of such protection, and to yield his personal service when necessary.”

The third part is the consideration we, the people, receive from our government by paying our fair share of the expense of such protection (taxes).

The first reciprocal benefit (consideration) we, the people, receive from Part I, article 12, is the guarantee that only the taxing authority established by the people in the Constitution of N.H. Part I, article 28, and Part II, Articles 5 & 6 may be enacted by the legislature because Part I, Article 12 prohibits the General Court from establishing new taxes not approved of by the inhabitants. It reads:

“But no part of a man’s property shall be taken from him, or applied to public uses, without his own consent, or that of the representative body of the people.”

The second reciprocal benefit (consideration) guaranteed by Part I, article 12, in aforesaid sentence, is also part of the protection the inhabitants receive in exchange for paying their fair share of the expense (taxes) is the fact that the legislature’s taxing power can only be altered or amended by the consent of the inhabitants detailed in Part I, art. 1, Part II, art. 99.

The third reciprocal benefit (consideration) guaranteed by Part I, article 12, is the prohibition upon the legislature from enacting any laws, not founded in the Constitution of the people established by its inhabitants in the Constitution of New Hampshire:

“Nor are the inhabitants of this State controllable by any other laws than those to which they, or their representative body, have given their consent.”    

All six of the complaints in my lawsuit brief are allegations regarding the legislature’s bad faith abuse of power, by the exercise of un-delegated powers using corrupted state actors who have exceeded their authority.

I want to add also the Opinion of the NH Supreme Court in 1818, a case holding which still stands today. It is a court opinion that upholds and reinforces my arguments about the mandatory limits on state actors imposed by the State Constitution. It is binding precedent in NH courts today. The language is magnificent and talks about the essential character of duty and sound social principles followed according to the laws of the land.

“From these, and similar circumstances, therefore, it has happened, that questions of this nature have not always been examined with that coolness, and patience, which their importance deserved; and that since the adoption of our constitutions, courts of justice, as well as legislative bodies, have furnished [201] some complaints, that their jurisdiction has been violated, when those complaints were not founded upon sound principles or respectable precedents. Conscious of the force of these considerations, we have in the present cause, experienced considerable embarrassment: but duty has compelled us to act, and it hardly need be repeated, that we have attempted to divest ourselves of every feeling, except an earnest desire to perform what duty dictated.” It must be admitted that courts ought to decide, according “to the laws of the land,” all cases, which are submitted to their examination. To do this, however, we must examine those laws. (2) Federalist, No. 78; [Dash v. Van Kleeck,] 7 Johns. 494 [, 5 Am. Dec. 291]; 3 Cook 7; 6 Bac. Stat.H. The constitution is one of them, and “is in fact, and must be regarded by the judges as a fundamental law.” (3) Federalist, No. 78. It was created by the people, who in our republics, are “the supreme power,” (4) Bill of Rights, art. 8, and, it being the expression of their will, their agents, as are all the branches of government, (5) Bill of Rights, art. 8, can perform no act which, if contrary to that will, should be deemed lawful. To deny this, would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of power may do, ‘not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.’ Their oaths of office too, prohibit, and the constitution itself, in express terms, prohibits the legislature from making “laws repugnant or contrary to the constitution.” If then there should happen to be an irreconcilable variance between the constitution and a statute, that which has the superior obligation and validity ought of course to be preferred: in other words,” “the intention of the people ought to be preferred to the intention of their agents.” [55] “Nor does this conclusion by any means suppose a superiority of the judicial to the legislative power. It only supposes, that the power of the people is superior to both; and that where the will of the legislature, declared in its statutes, stands in opposition to that of the people, declared in the constitution, the judges [202] ought to be governed by the latter, rather than the former. They ought to regulate their decision by the fundamental laws, rather than by those, which are not fundamental. Our Confidence, also, in the liberality of the legislature is such, that when, through inadvertence of mistake, they passed an unauthorized act, we believe that, should the unpleasant task of adjudging it void devolve upon us, they would think the task is performed only from a conviction that the act is in the clearest manner unconstitutional, and the right and duty so to pronounce it are both unquestionable… Merrill v Sherburne 1 N.H. 199 (1818).

On Tuesday the Regime announced that BidenX would be taking a few days off. The “debate” … if you can call the obviously RIGGED faux-debate on CNN that … is next Thursday. So the Regime needs to give BidenX 20 hours per day of bed rest and lots and lots of DRUGS to get him ready.

The Regime does NOT want the American people to see the BidenX they saw on June 18th (the REAL Joe Biden) when he began babbling like a baby:

NEW: Attendees for a DACA anniversary event are visibly concerned after President Joe Biden has another senior moment as he appears to forget how to talk.

Open letter to my fellow representatives: If we are going to sell out our citizens to the lobby of the Town Clerks Assoc., we should at least have the courage to have a roll call vote, especially when legislation is strategically slated to be heard on the last day of public session. (We should be held accountable to voters.)

But let’s see who is winning. The Town Clerk’s Assoc (administrative state) is with the tax dollars you pay them. (Each town pays for its membership in the NH City and Town Clerks Association (NHCTA).) Yet the same town clerks who swear an oath of office to defend the NH Constitution and their duties, responsible for accurate and up-to-date voter lists and safe and secure elections, have lobbied against support of legislation, including the examples of three below, that does just that!

Actions speak louder than words. Instead, it appears the NHCTA is following a national agenda, and my fellow elected officials are complicit in carrying their water. The Assoc. actions bring shame to those dedicated and hard-working clerks that follow the Constitution and truly care about their community’s voter integrity and confidence.

Town Clerks Assoc Lobby. #3 – Citizens & Voter Confidence #0

HB 1370 – Plainly stated by Rep. James Qualey of Rindge, the bill would address the potential for unqualified voters to cast a ballot in New Hampshire. The state has an obligation to ensure everyone qualified is able to vote; it also has an obligation to ensure unqualified voters do not vote, as it taints the entire system. Hats off this time to Senator Gray for at least endorsing and acting to support voter trust, confidence and integrity. Our rights to free, fair, and accurate elections are our most sovereign and precious constitutional rights. ( * Sec of State Scanlan was not directly opposed to this bill)

HB 1369 – to purge voter rolls every six years instead of 10 (Secretary of State supported four years in previous house testimony.) How ridiculous! Imagine not having your bank, Apple, Android, or Microsoft not upgrading or checking the validity of customers or security systems, but for every ten years.

HB 1007 – Unconstitutional “91-A. Right to Know Tax” on citizens that request public documents from their towns – information and documents they already pay taxes for. Signed by the Governor, do you think this will further boost citizen’s trust in government?

On his way out of the barn, Gov. Sununu turned out to be all hat and no cowboy when it came to protecting election integrity, confidence, and parent’s rights. Hopefully, he will “cowboy up” and sign HB 396 to protect women and girls in locker rooms and restrooms.

To my fellow representatives on both sides of the aisle, please, we must come together to represent the people when it comes to voting rights and NOT THE LOBBIEST. Keep this up and soon we will have a state and local government no longer instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the whole community. but instead for private interest and endangering our Liberty. See what happens next, Part 1, Art. 10, in the NH Constitution.

September 19, 2023 Pew Research Center

Currently, fewer than two in ten Americans say they trust the government in Washington to do what is right “just about always” (1%) or “most of the time” (15%). This is among the lowest trust measures in nearly seven decades of polling. Last year, 20% said they trusted the government just about always or most of the time.
