Two Dubious “Extremely Rare Occurrences” in Windham’s Elections

Mon, 2024-03-11 18:00 +0000

The Windham Incident on November 3, 2020 that produced the largest numerical discrepancy in the history of NH between an election day result and a subsequent recount exposed over a hundred violations of election laws and procedures by Windham’s election officials.

Since then, Windham’s election officials have continued to violate election laws and procedures in the subsequent federal election cycles. Those violations are identified in multiple reports that were written by the NH AG, NH SOS, the NH Deputy SOS and NH Assistant SOS.

But instead of taking responsibility, Windham’s election officials and their friends falsely claim they are the victims of baseless attacks, and counter with nasty character assassination attacks against those who simply want accurate elections that follow the laws.

The inability of Windham’s election officials to follow election laws during the November 3, 2020 election led to the dubious distinction of having an election monitor appointed for the September 13, 2022 primary. According to Secretary of State William Gardner, “the appointment of an election monitor to oversee an election in this state is an extremely rare occurrence.”

The violations of election laws in that election led to yet another election monitor appointed for the January 23, 2024 presidential primary election.

With the continued inability of Windham’s election officials to follow election laws in subsequent elections, Windham has now had an unprecedented two “extremely rare occurrences” by having election monitors appointed in two consecutive federal election cycles – and Windham’s election officials still failed to follow election laws and procedures in both of those elections.

The Government Integrity Project (www.gipamerica.org) put together three full page ads (here, here and here) and a direct mailer to inform Windham voters of the recurring failures of Windham’s election officials as identified in the multiple reports mentioned above. Election officials and their friends falsely call them lies and a smear campaign. Honest people know it’s the truth.

Every Windham voter should download and read the reports written by NH’s highest ranking law and election officials regarding Windham’s elections in 2020, 2022 and 2024 from the NH AG’s and SOS’s offices and decide for themselves who is telling the truth… and then cast an informed vote.

MONDAY MEMES

Mon, 2024-03-11 16:00 +0000

And that downer, Monday, makes an appearance again.  Hope these lift you up!

Take heart – there will be both a Wednesday and Friday Edition.  Last week’s Friday Edition.

Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:

  1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought
  2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
  3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

 

*** Warning, a few possibly off-color ones, in case tender eyes are about ***

 

 

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

 

 

 

TRUTH.  TINVOWOOT IMHO.  Alas.

 

 

 

It doesn’t matter.  The Potato could sodomize and cannibalize a living infant, on video in front of a live studio audience, and 90% of his fans wouldn’t care.  Because he’s not Orange Man.  That’s all that matters to these people.

 

 

WWIII incoming.

 

 

 

I’ve said before that the virulent anti-White racism that is in our society, recognizing it, was one of the biggest and most bitter pills I’ve had to swallow.  See “Pick of the Post” as well.

 

 

 

I’ll chip in for a gallon.

 

 

 

 

Theft and arson charges I can see… but in this day and age where people steal and burn American flags and get off with no punishment, that tells you who you aren’t allowed to criticize.

 

 

I suspect these were trial-balloon essays to see what might pass.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look, I understand the appeal.  Back in my younger (single) days I’d occasionally go to, um, “Adult Entertainment Cabaret” locations.  And drop a not-trivial amount of money each time.  The dancers, of course, would clear hundreds every night in cash.  Over time I got to be friendly – not friends, but conversational-level friendly – with some of the dancers and they’d confided in me that on good weekend nights they’d clear well over $1000 in tips.  That’s 30+ years ago.  That’s some serious money.  Carefully managed and laundered, that’s a nice nest egg.

Whether you want it or not, CBDC is coming.  The only question, at this point, is how many we can wake up to the danger so that WHEN it is implemented, masses and masses simply don’t comply.

On a local, small-scale level, windmills and solar and such have an appeal and function.  A friend of mine has a remote cabin and it’s all solar powered.  Good stuff.  It’s the plan fact that you cannot power an industrial civilization with this that’s critical point.

 

 

 

 

 

I was reading that in the UK kids dying of cancer could not see both parents at the same time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People fear uncertainly and chaos far more than the absolute level at which they live.  People will endure much hardship if it’s consistent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

Jury Nullification.

 

 

 

Intentional.

Pick of the post:

 

 

I was raised on the “mother’s milk” of MLK Jr.  I believed it most of my life, I still want to believe it – at least, the whole judging by the content of an individual’s character.  But increasingly pasty-white me is feeling very targeted by the open anti-white rhetoric (let me not get started on the reverse discrimination I experienced as I graduated from college and was looking for a job).  I echo the above; I do so with regret, but I cannot be color blind again.  Note that this doesn’t mean there aren’t non-whites in my circle; recall I’m married to a non-white person.  But it does mean that – yes – in the words of George Clooney’s character in one of his movies, I AM going to stereotype at first sight, not only by race, but by outfit and in-public actions and attitudes.

Increasingly, given the anti-white violence we see, it’s not a racism thing.  It’s a survival instinct thing.

New Hampshire State Rep Wants Christians To Shut Up and Stay out of Politics

Mon, 2024-03-11 14:00 +0000

In March of 2023, I was part of a group of Republicans in Nashua Ward 7 that organized to hand out fliers promoting Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs) to our local public elementary schools, Dr. Crisp and Sunset Heights. Dr. Crisp has been recognized as one of the lowest-performing five percent of all schools in the state for the second year in a row. At Dr. Crisp, the vast majority of the parents are poor immigrants, and we wanted to provide these families an opportunity for their kids to escape from their failing school.

The Children’s Scholarship Fund organized a parent information night about EFAs in Nashua. We printed fliers for the event and handed them to the parents as they picked their kids up from school. We were delighted to help the NH Department of Education and the Children’s Scholarship Fund get this information to parents.

In December 2023, our Ward 7 state rep Catherine Sofikitis filed CACR18, a constitutional amendment to remove the tax-exempt status of churches and religious organizations. When she presented the bill to the NH House Ways and Means Committee on January 9, 2024, she testified that she was upset that churches were promoting EFAs, which she believes are harmful to public schools.

There were no churches involved in our promotion of EFAs, but she has fallen victim to the Democrats’ reliance on stereotyping their political enemies with the Alinsky rule: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it” to win political victories without having to do the hard work of understanding those on the other side. She is so immersed in a political bubble that she doesn’t understand who the political opposition is.

She assumed churches are behind all the conservative politics in New Hampshire and wants to strike at the heart of that. She doesn’t realize that conservatives are diverse in New Hampshire. They are Christians, blue-collar workers, small business owners,  immigrants from communist countries and other totalitarian countries, former Democrats fed up with the extremism of that party, and many other categories. We come from all walks of life. It would be impossible to shut us all down. But she is so frustrated that she feels she has to do something.

In her testimony, she said that Christians should not be in the public square.

the churches shouldn’t be meddling in the government’s stuff. It’s just you know you stay in your church. You pray and you do what you do, you do you, and the government will do the government

 Not because I don’t understand and respect what faith-based groups do in the state of New Hampshire but I just want people to stay in their own sandbox and stay in their lane

She accused us of telling parents that their children attend a “nasty school, a failing school.”

And at the polls and at other times when we have meetings up at that school people who are of the homeschool crowd and the ones who want the public school vouchers tell all the parents this is a nasty school, it’s a failing school, and I want you to know where you can get free money and you can take your children out of this failing school.

We don’t tell parents that. The parents know well the problems at their children’s school and the test results prove that Dr. Crisp is a failing school.

She complains several times in her testimony about people in her ward who aren’t being represented.

And I’m not here to disrespect anything and I know that my knowledge of these things is not deep but it’s just my feeling that since I’ve got to Concord seven years ago that it seems to me that my people in my district are not being represented here. And so this is just an ask that we all consider that people who have words that divide us are very hurtful to people who don’t have the political power to speak for themselves.

But her Democrat voters have her as representation. Republicans in Ward 7 are the ones lacking representation. Nashua Republicans don’t have any political power in the NH House. All of our 27 state reps are Democrats. Ward 7 has a Democrat state senator as well.

The irony of the following statement caught my eye in regards to the time she called Moms for Liberty “Assholes with casseroles, Taliban in a minivan.”

I made an obscure comment about Moms for Liberty. I had hate mail from Florida. And I just want people to stop. You know if your first reaction is something from your stomach out through your mouth then this is not a policy thing. It’s an emotional thing.

She is the one who is not controlling her emotions.

In her testimony, she states, “Stop dividing us up, and let’s all get along for the people that we were elected to represent,” but she is one of the reps who kneeled for the national anthem during a House session. That is extreme divisiveness. 

At a previous committee hearing, she said, “I want to be brutally frank. There is not one person of color on this committee — not one. Racism matters,” but she fails to acknowledge that she and her fellow Democrats were successful at keeping Avalon Lewis, a black immigrant from Barbados, from being elected as a state rep from Ward 7. He could been the person of color on that committee that she complained was missing.

CACR18 was voted 20-0 by the Ways and Means Committee as inexpedient to legislate, put on the consent calendar, and killed by the NH House. Good riddance to her attack on churches and religious organizations.

There is a whole lot more in Rep. Sofikitis’ testimony that is troubling. Read her testimony here and watch it below.
