Israel is preparing to take their battle to obliterate Hamas to Rafa, and this does not sit well with Joe Biden. Even though an aid package for Israel has been approved by Congress and signed by Biden, the President is withholding military equipment from our number one ally in the Middle East.

Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the campaign into Raffa today and sent a subliminal message to Joe Biden. Without mentioning the decision by Biden, Netanyahu told the world that they will continue their mission even if they have to do it alone. Joe Biden is destroying our relationship with Israel, and it is inexcusable but explainable. Joe Biden is more concerned with votes in Michigan than the safety and sovereignty of Israel. Joe Biden should be impeached for abandoning Israel, and where is Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress, with a condemnation of Biden’s actions?

Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have been trying to micromanage Israel’s retaliation against Hamas. As I have written previously, neither of these men is in any position to tell any country how they should handle their military strategy. Biden has political pressure to get Israel to cease this conflict as soon as possible. That is not what Israel needs or wants. They want Hamas gone, just like we wished to have Al-Qaeda gone after 9-11. If any country had attempted to restrict our efforts, we would have told them precisely what Israel is telling us. Thanks, but we have this. Now, get out of our way.

Joe Biden has Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) looking over his shoulder, and he is petrified of her power base in Michigan. Biden already experienced Tlaib’s influence with the Michigan Primary. Tlaib got over 100,000 Democrats to vote for “Anyone except Biden.” If Biden does not appease Tlaib and she pulls the same trick out of her bag for the Presidential election, Biden could very well lose Michigan to Trump.

Tlaib and her followers support Palestinians and want an end to this conflict. They are not concerned with the Hamas invasion of October 7 or the attacks of Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel. Monday was Holocaust Remembrance Day, which recognizes the end of the genocide of Jews by Hitler. At that time, the world pledged, “Never again.” According to Benjamin Netanyahu, “Never again is now.” With this declaration, Netanyahu is committing to all Israelis that Israel is intent on destroying any future threat from Hamas.

Some of Biden’s most lucrative sponsors also fund these illegal encampments and college protests nationwide. Biden is between a rock and a hard place, or to be more specific, he is between votes/money and the best interests of Israel and America. Biden has no spine and concentrates on retaining power and office. He has to get these situations under control before the DNC Convention in Chicago this summer. If not, the optics will harm him badly. When he finally spoke out on the campus unrest last week, he condemned antisemitism but also anti-Islamic words or actions. There has been no anti-Islamic activity in these campus actions, and he was covering all bases. What it showed was weakness.

Biden has to make a decision. He is either going to shut down these college actions and support Israel or satisfy his critics. Even considering a choice is not presidential, and that is why he should not be given a second term.

Some of you voted, and we’ve got another comment of the week winner!

Congratulations to notoriousBLOG.

Here is that winning comment.

Post: Night Cap: TWENTY (20) Percent Of Mail-In-Votes in 2020 Were Fraudulent
Author: notoriousBLOG

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

If notoriousBLOG would like to collect a prize for this honor, they can email me at steve@granitegrok.com and provide a shipping address where I can send it!

This might be a great Town Hall forum question for Democratic candidates. “Is there any problem you can’t fix with a new or higher tax?” I want a list, please, but I sense it would look like that redacted FDA document—a bunch of blank pages. While true, Dems do believe this; they don’t want to admit it publicly.

The government spent a lot of taxdollars to ‘cure’ COVID, and that cure was worse than doing nothing. There ought to be a lesson in that, but no one seems to have learned it, at least not in Massachusetts (Taxachusetts, Massghanistan). They keep electing candidates who think every problem can be solved with another tax.

Governor Maura Healey’s $4 billion housing bond bill, the state’s biggest-ever investment in its residential stock, includes a provision allowing cities to impose a transfer fee of 0.5% to 2% on property sales exceeding $1 million. The revenue generated would go toward affordable housing projects.

Bloomberg’s headline uses the term Mansion Tax. Have they been to Massachusetts? Peabody, MA, has an excellent multifamily rental for sale for $1.25 mil. A four-bedroom, three-bath, 2300-square-foot home can cost more than a million.

In some towns, you can’t get a three-bedroom two, two-bath ranch for less. Mansions? Seriously?

Supporters, including Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and leaders of more than 15 other municipalities, see the transfer fee as a critical tool to address a growing shortage of affordable housing. State Housing Secretary Edward Augustus says Massachusetts needs 200,000 more homes to keep pace with population growth.

“This policy is a win for local governments, but most importantly it is a win for renters and homeowners who have otherwise been priced out,” Augustus said in an e-mailed statement.

Democrats are also convinced that the tax will produce something other than well-fed camp followers once collected. It also makes Mass less desirable, a place to live and invest for people who can barely afford that 2300 square foot home.

Critics argue that the additional tax would burden commercial property developers already facing high vacancy rates, particularly in office buildings, and could lead to a decrease in overall real-estate tax revenue. Vacancy rates for office space are on the rise in Boston, Cambridge and surrounding suburbs as remote work trends persist. According to Colliers’ first-quarter market analysis, occupancy in Boston’s office market has hit its lowest point since 2010.

Oh, look – a solution!

COVID killed office space leasing, which Bidenomics made worse. Massachusetts’s State-of-emergency Alien Invasion problem is at the heart of the affordable housing rants (or is it the million-dollar 2300 sqft housing problem)? Taxpayers are already paying to put the invaders up in whatever space the state can find (it has even asked residents to house Biden’s invading army in their own homes.

If Developers are unhappy, they should convince the state to use the Mansion tax to rent out the empty office space or, here’s an idea: put them on planes and send them to a country that speaks their language and honors their customs. That would cost a lot less, reduce chaos, and you wouldn’t need a new tax.

But we wouldn’t want any of that, would we?

A non-wordy, non-meme post.  Somewhat linky.  This is a one-hour, 44 minute video by Bill Whittle; wide ranging.  Essential.  Each time I watch it I have a deeper understanding of what he’s saying and the grave danger we’re in as a country and civilization.  But before you watch it, consider this:

Biden’s Hope to Bring Gazans to the USA | Frontpage Mag

And Barackus’ open border policy in general.  (OOPSIE, did I say that out loud?)

Many people don’t understand what mining is and what the principle of mining is, especially now that most people no longer use traditional mining (using mining machines), but enter cloud computing mining. Especially newcomers who have just started know little about mining.

The main form of obtaining digital currency on the blockchain is through mining nodes, which continuously consume their own computing power, which means continuous mining, in exchange for Bitcoins, which is what we usually hear through hash operation collisions. Obtain accounting rights and rewards; because the Bitcoin system is completely open source, in the Bitcoin system, the mining difficulty of the entire network node can be dynamically adjusted through its own algorithm, ensuring that every 10 minutes or so, in the Bitcoin network, There will be a node that successfully mines; once someone mines successfully, the Bitcoin system will reward that person with a certain number of Bitcoins. This amount is also controlled by the algorithm. From the beginning, each person who successfully mines will get 25 Bitcoins. The reward will be reduced by half every four years; that is, the reward for successful mining in the next four years will be 12.5, the reward for the next four years will be 6.25, and so on.

For investment novices who want to get involved in cryptocurrency assets, it is recommended to carefully study the basic knowledge of blockchain and crypto assets before officially starting. You are not required to understand all concepts, but at least establish a superficial knowledge of this industry. After all, investment must first be based on a correct understanding of the investment target.

If you are an investor who believes in the concept of value investing, investing in Bitcoin is still a good thing from a dynamic perspective.

For newcomers to Bitcoin investment, perhaps new energy cloud computing power mining is also a good choice! The easiest way to do this is to get the cleanest Bitcoin.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s famous words, “The line between good and evil runs through the human heart,” should haunt the minds of leftwing American voters; citizens proud of their hatred for our Second Amendment.

Their disdain for our right to bear arms is exactly the same as the United Nations and all other communist blood brothers throughout history. As history once again repeats itself, they demonstrate the same evil strategy that flows through the veins of all dictators. Mao Tse-tung voiced it with utmost clarity: “All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns; that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.” Inverting reality, evil in man’s heart pulls the trigger. Gun control is people control.

You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

Ever since America has been a member of the UN, this inversion of reality has been the determined policy of the United States government. Gun owners, especially, should take note of this root cause behind controlling all firearms. Consider President John F. Kennedy’s speech before the UN General Assembly, surrendering the command of guns to the UN, called: “Freedom From War: The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World.” Passionate gun owners should know its content: “I … propose on the basis of this Plan, that disarmament negotiations resume promptly, and continue without interruptions until an entire program for general and complete disarmament has not only been agreed upon but has actually been achieved.” Included were disbanding all armed forces except for internal order, the UN peace force, and elimination of national arsenals – weapons of mass destruction and means of delivery.

The John Birch Society was wise to State Department Document 7277- Disarmament in A Peaceful World. Birchers fervently questioned Washington congressional delegations. Asking, why an American president would promote submission to the UN Charter above the Constitution with which he had sworn an oath? Why would he participate in implementing a global program to surrender all firearm ownership of the individual and completely disarm our military power? Shortly thereafter, their requests for Document 7277 was answered: “out of print.” The JBS responded by publishing 7277 themselves. Copies are available at ShopJBSj.org.

We cannot ignore the UN’s historical prejudice against firearms that is portrayed in a sculpture of a pistol with a knotted gun barrel in front of UN headquarters. Guns insure liberty. Senator Mike Lee and Rep. Chip Roy have introduced S. 3428 and H.R 6645, The Defund Act to withdraw U.S. from United Nations and all its agencies. Don’t let The UN trojan horse keep their gun in the back of American liberty. Check out this four minute video on UN absolute power that can only happen when they have all weapons!

Those of us who have committed ourselves to living in the sausage factory of politics are keenly aware of the dynamics, so we know we need good people in elected office we can support. We need them now.

And while General John Stark may not be rolling over in his grave about what we’ve done with the liberty for which his men fought and died, he would want us to do whatever we could to defend what is left and (certainly) work to improve on it. He would want you to step up and fight for freedom.

To live free or die (rhetorically, in this case).

It is a battle worth fighting because the Democrats will not waste time raising taxes, grooming kids, taking freedoms, and adding strings to DC if they take the majority. They will undermine health freedom, go after our Second Amendment rights, and try to undermine free speech further. Energy will get more expensive, and illegals will get more rights than actual citizens. They will also destroy the economy.

We can’t leave seats uncontested. We need to fight to hold the seats we have and peel a few away (a few dozen would be better), or the slim pickings worth of improvement made in recent years could be gone in one session or less.

We want You! to run for state rep, and you don’t have to do it alone. Email the 603 Alliance and let them know you want to attend the upcoming May 18th Candidate Training. You can also attend the Issues Briefing Summit, a free evening event (with food) that will help you grasp the things voters are likely to ask you when you engage them and what you’re likely to see coming up in Concord when you win.

Class candidates can also get access to campaign resources and past instruction, as well as invitations to future Zoom calls throughout the campaign season to help with questions and issues or connect you with resources.

The 603 Alliance is your primary source for candidate campaign training in NH in 2024 (the NHGOP will be offering training for Poll Watchers on May 2).

When you register for the one-day training, you will have access to experienced candidates and activists all the way to election day.

We need you to run. If you are thinking about it or know someone who is, share this message or Email today and ask to register for the May 18th training in Concord.

Last Week, the coordinated media made noise about accelerated sea level rise. That’s nothing new. They do it all the time, though, not as often as the hottest thing ever. Both lack evidence and rigor, neither of which are required to snap coastal elites like a twig.

Related: Sea Level Rise Blamed for Increasing Coastal Property Values Instead of Depressing Them

Hotter than when? Higher than when? The earth has been both hotter and the sea level higher in the absence of humans or any anthropogenic influence. In my geologic neighborhood, the East Coast is sinking. Paying three times as much for heat and twice as much for gas won’t stop the land moving. And how are EVs, which weigh a lot more than traditional transportation, supposed to do anything but make that worse? Isostatic change is never in the press releases, but fears of accelerated rise are, despite past predictions failing to produce the scaremongered result.

But why give up on a good thing?

 At Grand Isle, Louisiana, the big red arrow in the Gulf of Mexico, the relative sea level is rising at 9.2 mm per year … while only a short distance away, the green arrow to the right of Grand Isle shows that Pensacola, Florida has a relative sea level rise less than a third of that, 2.7 mm per year.

Why different sea level rise rates? Again, it has nothing to do with the ocean. It’s because Grand Isle is a silty barrier island in the Mississippi Delta, and like all such islands, it’s slowly sinking into the briny blue.

You find differences all over the map. Some locations are seeing seas recede. Do they get to keep their money and drive combustion-engine vehicles without the climate cultists’ side-eye? How do you explain the differences in variables from storms to temperature to sea level while still arguing the problem is global? They can’t explain any of it except to say they believe without a doubt (faith) that we all must repent (whether we believe or not), and their expensive, half-baked penance will fix everything.

Related: While Scaremongering CO2 NOAA (Unintentionally) Admits No Correlation to Sea Level Rise … or Fossil Fuels

There is net-zero evidence that any of that is true, but it is difficult to convince a zealot of anything, especially when it affects their paycheck.

But there’s nothing any of us can do about Sea level rise (or fall). Much like the atmosphere, there are more variables than are accounted for because to consider them would end the scam, and what then?
