Alissandra Murray … If You Want To See A Grifter, Look In The Mirror

Sat, 2024-06-08 14:00 +0000

Ali Murray HATES Riley Gaines because Riley Gaines is a graceful and fearless defender of girls sports … from Woke-Communists like Ali who seek to destroy girls sports as part of their larger quest to destroy (they’d call it “transform”) America.

Actually, the term NAZI may be a better description of Ali than Woke-Communist because her “gender-affirming” medical care is so reminiscent of the pseudo-medical experiments the Nazis carried out at Auschwitz.

First of all, there was no “testimony” by Riley Gaines. The bill in question already had a public hearing which the Woke-Communists packed. Riley Gaines was addressing a House-Senate conference. So either “Rep” Murray has no idea what she’s ranting about or she is LYING.

Second, unlike Ali … whose only form of exercise appears to be moving her bulk from the couch to the refrigerator … Riley Gaines is an actual collegiate athlete. And Riley Gaines is uniquely qualified to speak about males destroying girls sports as she was personally affected by a failed, mediocre MALE athlete who was allowed to participate in female collegiate sports.

The icing on the cake, so to speak, is that Ali is the actual grifter and, indeed, arguably the griftiest of grifters. She is as a practical matter employed by Abortion, Inc. to be a State Rep.

Where Adding Fees for Public Records Is Meant To Leads Us … New Jersey

Sat, 2024-06-08 12:00 +0000

Unless he’s already signed HB1002, the new tax on access to public records in New Hampshire is still waiting to become law. If it becomes law, many towns will consider it, but the most grotesque government offenders will implement it with extreme prejudice as soon as they are able.

Sixty days after passage.

Nashua, Londonderry, and Dover are drooling in anticipation.HB1002 is their baby—a foot in the door, that camel’s nose, incrementalism to further undermining transparency. The goal is to be like New Jersey. NJ is a few iterations further along; their updated public records law makes fewer records public, and the ones that still are increasingly unaffordable.

The new legislation overhauls New Jersey’s existing Open Public Records Act and could make it harder for media outlets and the public to access some documents, The Hill reported.

It would also continue to limit access to government text and email correspondence and allow agencies to charge more for releasing information — even if the evidence is not in complete form.

Also, the law makes it harder on lawyers to get back fees in cases where requests are wrongfully denied by agencies, The Hill reported.

It is not an extreme possibility. It is the goal.

Nashua doesn’t give a shit about your right to know, and they aren’t even secretive about that, so Jim the Douche Donchess must be jealous of what Gov. Phil Murphy just did. Given the freedom and power, Donchess would sign on to that in a heartbeat because he doesn’t want you to know and likely thinks you are too stupid to understand why. If he were Prometheus, he would steal the fire and keep it for himself because the peasants are too clumsy to grasp how good or great his uses for it are, even when he burns them with it repeatedly.

You are not worthy of such knowledge and entitled only to what Donchess deems to share when he decides to share it. It means what he says and nothing more. That is the state of Nashua City governance, which is not improving while he is in command.

And no, New Jersey did not get here from there overnight, but just like property taxes in the Garden State, it started with a lie on the slightest whisper of a breeze. We want to reduce property taxes with a statewide tax. If you do not know how that worked out, NJ has one of the highest tax burdens in the nation (state and property and the rest of it), while New Hampshire’s is one of the lowest. It is why we oppose NH Dems Jersey tactics – that same whispered lie that a statewide tax will lower your local taxes.

NH already does more with less and has better outcomes, which would end.

HB1002 is a carpenter ant. If we can’t convince the governor to kill it, it will begin gnawing away at the foundations of government accountability until it finds a way to get to where New Jersey is today.

If HB1002 is still in play and Governor Sununu has not yet signed it (he has not, as I write this), they do not have the votes to override a veto.

Ask him to please veto that bill.

Hunter Biden: Someone Has to Say It

Sat, 2024-06-08 10:00 +0000

As much fun as it is for Republicans to watch Hunter Biden being dragged through the mud in order to ‘prove’ that he lied on a federal form — as if that’s something that should take five days rather than five minutes — the simple fact is that as part of ‘the people’, his right to own a gun is protected by the 2nd and 14th Amendments to the federal constitution.  Period.

There are no exceptions for drug users or convicted felons in the 2nd Amendment, just as there aren’t any in the 1st Amendment.  You don’t have to fill out a form in order to get permission to speak, nor could such a form be used to deny that right to drug users or convicted felons.  Nor could you be prosecuted for lying on such a form if it existed.

That is the heart of the Bruen decision:  That the 2nd Amendment must be accorded the same level of respect as the 1st; that the right to keep and bear arms is not some kind of second-class right.

Unfortunately, prosecutions like this one undermine that decision when we should be doing everything possible to strengthen it.

Which is to say, rather than cheering the fact that Hunter Biden is being prosecuted under laws that shouldn’t exist in the first place, Republicans should be working to repeal those laws — or, if they believe there is a need for such laws, to amend the Constitution to authorize them.

I mean, even Gavin Newsom has realized that placing ‘common sense’ restrictions on RKBA requires amending the Constitution.  Why is it so hard for Republicans to figure that out?
