Lily Tang Williams is Seeking the NH GOP Nomination for US Congressional Second District in NH

Fri, 2022-08-12 13:30 +0000

This past Wednesday, the 10th, was the monthly meeting of the BCRC at the Gilford Public Library. As always, there was a keynote speaker and it was Lily Tang Williams who running to be the NH GOP nominee to retire the current Democrat Annie Kuster who sits next to Uber-Progressive from New York (sponsor of the Green New Deal bill that Biden is effecting by Executive fiat).

Here she is recounting her escape from Communist China and embracing Liberty and Freedom:

Lily Tang Williams

NH GOP RNC Committeeman Comments on FBI Raid on Mar-A-Lago

Fri, 2022-08-12 12:00 +0000

I’ve waited to respond for a few days to clear my head on what happened Monday night. The FBI’s Banana Republic disgusting raid on Mar-a-Lago is nothing more than the continued political weaponization of the Justice Department by the Biden administration.   This is simply the latest government assault against President Trump.

1. The Clinton campaign fed the FAKE Steele Dossier to the FBI during the 2016 election, which led to illegal FISA warrants and the Justice Department spying on the Trump campaign.  Nobody was ever held accountable.
2. After wasting $32 million taxpayer dollars, the Mueller Report/investigation showed no collusion and no obstruction of justice.
3. Democrats launched a political impeachment against President Trump over Ukraine, even though all evidence and phone transcripts showed no wrongdoing.
4. New York Democrat Attorney General Letitia James targeted the state’s legal system against President Trump, campaigning in 2018 that she would use her office to investigate him.
5. The FBI finds time to raid the home of the former president, but not:
a. Hunter Biden (staggering laptop evidence of wrongdoing);
b. Hillary Clinton (Steele dossier and destroying subpoenaed material);
c. Leftist radicals attacking churches and pro-life organizations.

We want to thank Chris Ager, NH GOP RNC Committeeman for this Op-Ed. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE
you would like us to consider, please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

 

I have zero trust in the leadership of either the FBI or the Department of Justice (DoJ).  An Army buddy and retired FBI agent told me he is embarrassed by the once proud FBI that he faithfully served for 20 years. The abuses seem to be mounting and only God knows where we will end up. Just think, if they can do this to Trump, they can more easily do it to you. Lois Lerner was also never held accountable for her abuses during the TEA Party movement. With 87,000 additional IRS agents, who do you think will be targeted?

Besides strongly worded condemnations against this wrongdoing, what can we do?

  1. Avoid any overreaction that will give a Gestapo-like DoJ fake reasons to raid your home, arrest you, and put you in solitary confinement for a year before trial. Don’t talk to Federal agents without a lawyer. Avoid entrapment by undercover agents.
  2. Write to our Democrat federal delegation co-conspirators and show your disgust over a weaponized DoJ. This can be therapeutic.
  3. Demand your Republican primary contestants commit to cleaning up the out-of-control Federal Bureaucracy.
  4. Help Republicans win in House and Senate races in NH to help provide the needed oversight envisioned by the founders. This means supporting whoever wins the primary on 13 September. We will be on defense unless we win majorities.
  5. Pray to the Almighty for the strength and well-being of our nation.

They Said What?

Fri, 2022-08-12 10:30 +0000

Listening to the Left is like an exercise in gibberish nonsense. In one LTE in the Daily Sun, the writer claims anyone questioning their narrative on “global warming” is a denial of science. Nonsense!

Global warming exists and has for ten thousand years. What we on the right believe is:

  1. that no way is the world going to end (the sky will not fall) in any living person’s lifetime or this or the next century.
  2. All their “science” is mere political hyperbole. Not one of their disaster predictions has shown any signs of actually happening.
  3. Even if there was evidence supporting their theory, we have zero ability to seriously change things globally because major polluting nations such as Russia, China, India, and most “developing” nations are exempt from the Paris Accords. Or, have no intentions of abiding by them.
  4. Replacing fossil fuels sounds good but with what? Where are the ten’s of millions of solar panels, wind turbines, and various other “green energy ” producing devices, on hand, or being manufactured to make up for the lost energy from those fossil fuels? Even if they get manufactured, how will we dispose of them, and the heavy metals in them, when they finally do fail?

Now, about their claim of “following the Science”? How is it that the Left accepts as science that “men can get pregnant and give birth”, that a person can select their “preferred” gender or morph one to another, and that people of color can not be prejudiced?

How about the Left’s narratives that America was created by our founders out of slavery, that all white people are inherently racist, and that White Democrat liberals work to “free” Blacks from conservative, White, racist Republicans oppressing them? History is that Whites did not invent slavery. In fact, Whites ended slavery. Liberal Dem. cities ( run by Dems for decades) Blacks suffer from substandard schools, substandard housing, high poverty rates, high drug addiction rates, murder, crime, poor health care, and very high abortion rates due to broken families. How are any of these not civil rights violations by these progressive liberals?

When BLM/Antifa terrorists ravaged their cities, where were the Democrat Mayors, Governors, and City Counselors demanding that the police restore order and arrest the rioters? Why was Kyle Rittenhouse singled out by Leftist prosecutors – a young man running for his life, forced by violent criminals to defend himself against them with lethal force, prosecuted? And subsequently found not guilty on all counts by a jury of his peers).

Given its Power, it has been clearly demonstrated none on the Democrat side can be trusted with that Power not to violate either their oaths of office, law, or the Constitutions of our States or Nation. Voters must reject any and all of these candidates both in September and November.

Vote like your lives depends on it, as they well may.

Planners Are Planning for Blackouts This Winter (for you, not them).

Fri, 2022-08-12 01:30 +0000

The United Kingdom was an early adopter of codependent green energy schemes, and this winter could be the first full test of what decline feels like in the Woke energy new world order. “UK Plans for Blackouts in January in Emergency Energy Plan.”

Planners are planning to have blackouts in the winter.

 

Under the government’s latest “reasonable worst-case scenario,” Britain could face an electricity capacity shortfall totaling about a sixth of peak demand, even after emergency coal plants have been fired up, according to people familiar with the government’s planning. Under that outlook, below-average temperatures and reduced electricity imports from Norway and France could expose four days in January when the UK may need to trigger emergency measures to conserve gas, they said.

 

The official line is this will not happen, but if it does, you may have no gas or electricity for a bit, here and there, but not often or for long. That’s very reassuring coming from a Western “Democracy.” Just imagine if we’d heard these things from some second or third-world concern facing the carbon redutionists looking to rustle their industrial Jimmies.

Making electricity unaffordable or unobtainable in such a case would be racist. How dare you deny them the comforts they insist are ruining the planet? All while doing their best to make energy so damn expensive that even where they have it people are like WTF!

Other contradictions abound.

The Muppet Greta Chorus rails on the West about its carbon sins while the majority of CO2, pollution, and ocean plastic comes from China, South East Asia, India, and Africa. But no one’s over there telling them to do right by mother earth.

Germany is saying it needs to burn coal or else. Europe, in general, is poised for an unpleasant experience with single-sourced non-green energy as they discover the green can’t replace fossil when it gets cold.

We’ve got Ambassador Hassan voting to kill off Republican energy tax cuts so she can later pretend they are her idea later when they are guaranteed to fail (hey, I tried, she’ll say). No. You killed it. Own it.

And now the UK says we’ve got it sorted (they don’t rely on Russia for gas, by the way), but just in case, things might get dodgy on the odd day, so be prepared for dark and cold.

And it looks like progressives ruined modernity, but that’ snot entirely correct. They are actually hoarding for themselves. The Queen won’t be looking for a candle to read by, she’ll be good, as will the western elites.

They’re all Ivan Tretiak in the 1997 movie The Saint. While you’re freezing, they’re sitting on billions of gallons of heating oil shouting, save the planet…(whispered) for me!

How Maggie Hassan Used Legislative Gymnastics To Pretend She Was Against New Taxes

Fri, 2022-08-12 00:00 +0000

First, credit to the Washington Free Beacon for the information and my headline, which is a localized version of theirs. The article, titled “How Vulnerable Dems Used Legislative Gymnastics To Pretend They Were Against New Taxes,” is about Hassan and the lengths she’ll go to look fiscally moderate.

If you missed it, and I’m not sure how you could, Hassan is dumping a small fortune into TV and internet ads promoting her as fiscally responsible and bipartisan. I visited the fiscal and bipartisan lies here if you need to catch up. There’s also an ad on how she’s helping people with health care costs (after years of voting to make sure no one could afford it).

It’s a cluster if you get past her ad blitz noise machine. She’s not fiscally responsible and only more bipartisan than the freakish left-wing hacks to which she can be compared. And now this.

To synopsize, she voted against a Republican amendment to kill it and then reintroduced it as her own when she knew it would never get the votes to pass.

“Sen. Maggie Hassan reintroduced Republican measure to cut tax from Dems’ climate bill—but doomed amendment with 60-vote threshold.”

It’s Weekend at Bernie’s only Hassan, along with “Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), and Raphael Warnock (Ga.)” kill ‘Bernie,’ then pick him up and walk him around like he is alive, knowing that will never be true.

 

Senators Hassan, Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), and Raphael Warnock (Ga.) on Saturday voted against an amendment proposed by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) that would cut the bill’s tax hike on crude oil—causing the amendment, which only needed 51 votes to pass, to fail in a 50-50 party-line vote. Hassan just hours later proposed her own amendment to nix the bill’s crude oil tax but raised the measure as a budget point of order, dooming the amendment to fall short of its now-60-vote threshold.

The two proposals both would have eliminated a provision that would nearly double the tax on all imported crude oil and petroleum products to pay for new environmental cleanup efforts. The tax hike, which remains in the legislation, will likely lead to a further increase in energy prices—a bad sign for Democrats like Hassan who are up for reelection this November. Polling shows that voters are far more concerned with high gas prices than they are with climate change.

 

And in case you missed it, this little game of smoke and mirrors will increase gas prices. Let me say that again. Democrats kneecapped domestic production, tried to force oil companies to reduce production, forced the US to buy oil overseas (under Trump, we no longer needed foreign oil), and they just doubled the tax on that oil.

Hassan not only pretended to be against new taxes, she ensured we’d have double taxes on a commodity at the center of people’s consciousness, gas prices.

Watch for new ads extolling her efforts and then be sure to share this truth bomb with anyone and everyone who tries to use it as evidence she is anything but another conniving left-wing shill for the Biden Administration.

CNN Runs Cover for Pedophiles

Thu, 2022-08-11 22:30 +0000

The Collusion News Network (CNN) has a long, sad history of being all in on being wrong. They pass this off as journalism when most of it is opinion and poor opinion. The effect on ratings has been brutal, but that’s not yet enough incentive to pick sides or wear one team’s colors.

A few days ago, they decided it was time to attack the word groomer.

The term “groomer” is a homophobic stereotype used to falsely smear queer people and their supporters as child sex abusers.

That’s not true at all. A majority of groomers are heterosexual child sex abusers. Some of them are “grooming” children into a culture that condones human mutilation or the use of puberty blockers associated with the death of thousands of children to whom they were administered.

The FDA even says that serious side effects include “…a dangerous surge of spinal fluid pressure in the brain,” as well as “headaches, nausea, double vision, and even permanent vision loss.” None of which is likely to happen if adults are not sexualizing other people’s children.

Related: Because Someone Asked For It – Public School Sex Abuse For The Record

And I’m sure heterosexual pet “groomers” will take issue with CNN’s definition, as well as LGBT pet groomers who are repulsed by the idea of ‘grooming children, encouraging mutilation, or the use of puberty blockers.

Then there are statistics that CNN has long been avoiding on how public school teachers are a significant source of cases of child sexual abuse in the US. Sorry, it’s not priests. It is public educators and staff, many of whom are pedophiles, drawn to “schools” because of the access it affords them to their preferred prey.

It’s not all of them, and probably not most of them, but the research tells us it’s a problem. And here’s something else that’s a problem.

 

“Between 2012 and June 30 of this year (2019), the FDA documented over 40,764 adverse reactions suffered by patients who took Leuprolide Acetate (Lupron), which is used as a hormone blocker. More than 25,500 reactions logged from 2014-2019 were considered ‘serious,’ including 6,370 deaths,”

 

Most kids would never consider asking for these drugs (or mutilating surgeries) if they were not made aware or encouraged by adults to explore a sexuality spectrum invented by groomers that would allow them to openly sexualize kids in their classrooms.

Now they’ve got an entire political party helping!

Grooming is real. It is not limited to homosexuals by any stretch. But shading the term as homophobic could take it out of regular use, which would please no one more than heterosexual pedophiles engaged in sexualizing children for their pleasure.

Like the Epstein Island regulars, CNN won’t report about either. Many of whom, it appears, are part of that party, helping the groomers normalize the practice.

I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

Murdered Muslims, Hate Crimes, And Wait, Never Mind …

Thu, 2022-08-11 19:30 +0000

Less than a week ago, the tragedy of four brutal murders in New Mexico appeared to be a windfall for Democrats. It was a perfect yet bloody scenario for the party that doesn’t hesitate to try and exploit every and any tragedy that fits their larger narrative.

And while we can’t be sure that any Democrats were actually happy about four men being dead, we know that internally they were thrilled about the circumstances. We could almost see them doing cartwheels in their heads as they discussed the matter.

Muslims, of course, are included in the Democrats’ intersectional hierarchy of victimhood. Since Muslims are not Christians or Jews, which are the more traditional American creeds, they are therefore automatically victims. While plenty of Muslims reject the unsubstantiated designation by leftist American Democrats, it’s a clear designation, nonetheless. For Democrats, minority religion inevitably equals victimhood. It’s that simple.

All four murder victims in this situation in Albuquerque were Muslim, as it turns out, and police had indicated that the four separate murders might well be linked. The four Muslim men were suspected of being the victims of a serial killer. Therefore, Democrats began to anticipate that the culprit would ultimately turn out to fit their broader storyline.

If we could have administered truth serum to Democrats last weekend, they would have told us that they were praying to their secular idols that the murderer would turn out to be a fundamentalist Christian, gun-toting, bible-thumping, MAGA hat-wearing, Trump-voting, swastika-tattooed white man from a red state (who just happened to venture into the blue state of New Mexico).

Such a scenario would have been paradisiacal for them.

We could see and hear the mindset in their rhetoric. New Mexico’s Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham explained, “We will continue to do everything we can to support the Muslim community of Albuquerque and greater New Mexico.” When serial killers’ victims are all Christian, does anyone voice support for the “Christian community?”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the killer and then criticized President Biden for not doing more for Muslims.

Vice-President Kamala Harris weighed in with, “We remain clear that we stand with the Muslim community in New Mexico and around our country. Hate has no place in America.” Because, of course, since the victims were all Muslim, their killings must have been related to ‘hate in America.’ As if when people from other religions are murdered, there’s not even ‘dislike’ involved.

And, of course, President Biden had to jump in on Sunday when he added this statement to the situation:

“While we await a full investigation, my prayers are with the victims’ families, and my administration stands strongly with the Muslim community. These hateful attacks have no place in America.”

Can’t you just hear the excitement in his voice? Joe was probably calculating the additional votes he’d be receiving in his head as he was speaking.

There was only one problem, however. On Tuesday, a suspect was arrested, and you’ll never guess which religion he belongs to. He’s not a white, evangelical Christian with NRA bumper stickers on his pickup truck and a Trump-Pence lawn sign still in his front yard. The suspect is a Muslim. According to Yahoo News:

“Police announced a breakthrough Tuesday in the killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque, New Mexico, charging a man from Afghanistan — himself a Muslim — with two of the slayings and identifying him as a prime suspect in the other killings that put the entire community on edge.

Muhammad Syed, 51, was taken into custody a day earlier after a traffic stop more than 100 miles away, authorities said.

Three of the four ambush shootings happened in the last two weeks. Police Chief Harold Medina said it was not clear yet whether the deaths should be classified as hate crimes or serial killings or both.”

Well, I’ll be darned. So much for the “these men were murdered because they are Muslim” schtick. Now, listen closely. Listen for the backtracking from Biden, Harris, and Grisham. Listen for the “oh, never mind” statements from CAIR. OK, now you can stop listening… because all you’ll hear are crickets.

There are two truly sad aspects of this episode. First is the fact that four of our fellow citizens were murdered, and at this point, it doesn’t really matter why, at least not to their families. Americans should be able to live without fear for their safety, regardless of their religion or political beliefs. But what is almost equally as sad is the obvious opportunism that Biden, Harris, and the rest were planning to apply.

Like school shootings and folks dying at the hands of police for virtually any reason, our friends in the Democratic Party look at every tragedy as a chance to make political hay, and that fact is truly pathetic.

What Will YOU DO About the FBI Raiding Trump’s Home?

Thu, 2022-08-11 18:00 +0000

The Federal Bureau of Investigation raided the Mar-a-Lago home of former President Donald Trump on Monday. The next day, three FBI agents apprehended Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) and seized his phone while he was traveling with his family.

These are not the only incidences of the ruling party targeting their political opponents – and they are reminiscent of the oppressive governments of Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Communist China. These abuses of power should bother every American – regardless of party affiliation.

They should certainly bother those who have been elected to serve us in government and protect against these abuses – but most are silent.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. America’s federal government is corrupted to the core and out of control. Both parties.

Resistance is Crucial to the Advancement of Liberty

Thu, 2022-08-11 16:30 +0000

Patrick Henry told us that “government is no more than a choice among evils.”

Thomas Paine held the same view. In Common Sense, he wrote, “Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”

What makes government become intolerable?

Consolidation.

That was the term the founding generation used to describe a centralized government with vast power and control – the kind of government we have today.

During the Virginia Ratifying Convention, Patrick Henry warned against consolidation.

“Dangers are to be apprehended in whatever manner we proceed; but those of a consolidation are the most destructive.” [Emphasis added]

He went on to predict that consolidation would, “end in the destruction of our liberties.”

History proved Henry correct.

If consolidation ends in the destruction of our liberties, the key to regaining liberty is “un-consolidation,” or to use an actual word — decentralization.

Political decentralization devolves and distributes political power. This promotes competition in the political marketplace, with various jurisdictions opposing and checking growing power in others.

Most people intuitively understand the problems inherent in economic monopolies. With no competition, a monopolist can easily abuse its customers. It can limit selection. It can raise prices. It can get away with crappy customer service.

Now, think of the federal government as a monopoly. Because that’s exactly what it is.

We need to break the monopoly if we want to regain liberty. We need to decentralize, disperse and minimize political power in order to shrink government to, as Paine put it, “its best state … a necessary evil.”

This strategy requires letting go of centralized political power. That includes resisting the temptation to try to wrest control of the overreaching consolidated government and impose liberty from on high.

This is a difficult concept to grasp in an American political culture that operates almost exclusively through the consolidated government in Washington D.C. People always tend to think in terms of grabbing and wielding political power. This will always fail because political power is the problem.

But a lot of people argue that you need political power to force decentralization. As one person put it, “The great paradox is that in order to diffuse power, you must first acquire it.”

This is wrong.

The paradox is that forcing a diffusion of power is actually a centralization of power. In order to diffuse power, you must first resist it.

Lysander Spooner nailed it on resistance.

“The right of the people, therefore, to resist an unconstitutional law, is absolute and unqualified, from the moment the law is enacted.”

He called resistance “a constitutional right.”

“And the exercise of the right is neither rebellion against the constitution, nor revolution—it is a maintenance of the constitution itself, by keeping the government within the constitution.”

At the Tenth Amendment Center, we talk a lot about resisting overreaching federal power through state and local action. This leads people to believe they have to consolidate power at the state or local level. Having political allies in state and local government certainly helps, but it’s not necessary. And it’s certainly not the first step.

It starts with people resisting.

Think about the nullification of federal marijuana prohibition. Before California legalized medical marijuana in 1996, there were a lot of people who were willing to violate the “law” and use cannabis anyway. It was that groundswell of resistance that led to political changes at the state level. Rosa Parks offers another example. Her willingness to say, “No!” to an unjust law sparked more widespread resistance that eventually led to political change.

Necessity forced the American colonist to adopt a strategy of resistance. They had no political power – and there was no way they were ever going to gain any in faraway London. They had two choices – resist or submit.

They chose to resist.

The Sugar Act in 1764 sparked resistance and it ramped up significantly with the passage of the Stamp Act in March 1765.

The Stamp Act required all official documents in the colonies to be printed on special stamped paper. This included all commercial and legal documents, newspapers, pamphlets, and even playing cards. As historian Dave Benner explained in his article on the Stamp Act,  the standard American position held that the act violated the bounds of the British constitutional system. Objecting to the notion that Parliament was supreme, and could impose whatever binding legislation it wished upon the colonies, the colonies instead adopted the rigid stance that colonists could only be taxed by their local assemblies. They claimed this principle stretched all the way back to 1215 and the Magna Carta.

Resistance started with protests. Patrick Henry drafted a series of resolutions. In the seventh, He asserted, “the Inhabitants of this Colony, are not bound to yield Obedience to any Law or Ordinance whatever,” outside of those passed by the colonial assemblies.

John Dickinson wrote, “IF you comply with the Act by using Stamped Papers, you fix, you rivet perpetual Chains upon your unhappy Country. You unnecessarily, voluntarily establish the detestable Precedent, which those who have forged your Fetters ardently wish for, to varnish the future Exercise of this new claimed Authority.”

John Hancock was perhaps most emphatic, declaring, “The people of this country will never be made slaves of by a submission to the damned act.”

They didn’t.

Patriots throughout the 13 colonists blocked the distribution of stamped paper, forced stamp agents to resign, and effectively made that act impossible to enforce. Ultimately, mass resistance and noncompliance forced Parliament to repeal the hated law.

Historian Dave Benner summed up colonial resistance this way.

“Rather than hoping the next election will produce preferable results or waiting for the courts to weigh in on controversial law, the patriots took a fierce stand against an odious law. In doing so, they inspired tireless masses to their cause, brought about a reversal of policy without representation in Parliament, and changed the world as we know it.”

The problem is this strategy is scary, hard, and often requires sacrifice. Many people felt the heavy hand of the law in the early days of the movement to nullify marijuana prohibition. Rosa Parks went to jail. And the British ultimately drug American colonists into a war.

On the other hand, politics is relatively easy. You just gain power and then impose your will. But this is the antithesis of liberty. And at some point, the political pendulum will swing away from you as it always does and people you hate will control that power.

There is no easy path to liberty. As Thomas Paine wrote, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.”

The Dem’s FBI Helps Donald Trump Set a Fundraising Record!

Thu, 2022-08-11 15:00 +0000

Democrats do things, and it makes you wonder how many anticipate the side-effects of those actions. Anti-crime policies create more crime. Anti-poverty efforts launder money but never improve poverty. The anti-inflation bill will increase inflation. Did they know that raiding Trump’s house would result in this?

Think about it. The victimhood politics that promises unity and equality creates divisions and discrimination. They try to take your guns because that’s the job of the police, then they defund the police. Their public health priorities result in more sickness and death. And their green energy solutions are all brown, dirty, and destined to ruin the economy and the nation.

The cause and effect are before our eyes, yet they insist we do not see what we see. And sure, millions of rank-and-file donkey-ass-kissers are so emotionally invested in failure as success that it is nearly impossible for them to admit they are destroying the things they claim to save. But at the top, somewhere, someone knows the deal. The destruction is planned. We’ve heard them admit it.

And then they send FBI goons to raid Trump’s house. And while everyone denies knowledge, someone said go, and there is no way they get a federal home invasion permit for a previous president without buying from on high.

It sets a bad precedent for future administrations, but it also, at least in the case of Donald Trump, set a fundraising record.

 

 

 

I don’t have numbers as of publication, so we’ll have to take their word for it, but did any of them see this coming? They’re so clever. How could they not?

And remember, that money could be used for another Trump run at the Oval, but he can also use it to back candidates in races all over the country whether he runs or not. Races that pro-Dem Rinos are losing. It is also money for TV, print, mailers, web-ads, and any on election at any level.

Someone just made that happen.

They tried to implicate Trump again, resulting in at least a three-fold error.

  • Other than hard-core trump haters, people don’t like the authoritarian look of an FBI raid on a former President’s home.
  • It resulted in a cash windfall for the guy and the candidates they hate.
  • And that windfall creates a perception of significant support for that guy.

The boot-lickers at the Lincoln Project are probably bleeding out their eyes at the thought of it.

It’s a significant F-Up, especially if you fail once again to tarnish Trump and his opportunity to run for re-election and the odds favor Trump.

Did they see that coming, or are they like their base? So blinded by hatred and anger, they can’t or refuse to see the potential consequences? You know, like Liz Chaney? In five days, she will probably lose her primary because she chose the Machine over Trump and her own voters. And she’s a Cheney, so maybe, like the Sununu’s, she had no choice.

But Wyoming isn’t New Hampshire, and Trump just collected a mountain of cash thanks to Democrats and the FBI. Again.

I hope they are as bent about that as they are crooked because everyone is not only disavowing knowledge; it has become clear that the process of returning material shipped from DC to Florida in error when Trump was packed up by whoever does that has been ongoing for years. There was no mystery about the process or the who, what, or where used to justify the raid.

 

The story points to the FBI’s focus on a few specific areas as proof they knew where to look. But curiously this story doesn�t mention the June meeting between investigators and Trump’s lawyers when they looked through some of the documents kept in a basement storage room. In other words, the DOJ didn’t need a secret source to know the documents were kept in that particular room because they’d seen them there themselves and, at the time, not taken them.

 

And doesn’t that makes it worse?

If “everyone” knew (especially DOJ) and the process of finding and returning material was ongoing, why an FBI raid, and for what were they searching? And did anyone tell the Obama donor/Epstein Lawyers Magistrate who signed off on the warrant they could have just arranged for further review at any time without the armed “insurrection” of Trump’s Secret Service Protected Mar-a-Lago residence?

Does anyone want to guess an answer other than no?

Can anyone say “FBI lying on FISA warrants” to go after political opponents of Democrats?

And you know, to close it all out for now, here’s more of that song and dance we’ve heard so often from Democrat Administrations.

Does Rachael Blansett, Oyster River’s New DEIJ Director, Hate White People?

Thu, 2022-08-11 13:30 +0000

Trouble is brewing in the Oyster River School District after Rachael Blansett was hired as the new Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Director. (DEIJ) Why? Because of some of what she has shared on her podcasts, and social media accounts. She may have revealed what she really thinks about white people.

You can watch the Oyster River School Board meeting where the Superintendent falls over himself at the beginning defending his decision to hire Blansett. He comes to her defense in spite of the evidence that her views appear to be on the far left of the political spectrum. Community members are also concerned that her views reflect bigotry and hatred that could be directed at their children.

As you listen to Superintendent Jim Morse defend this ridiculous decision to hire Blansett, think about how he would have handled this situation had he hired a white employee who had made the exact same statements about black and brown people.

 

 

The public comments start at 32:30 when Joshua discusses his background in the military and now works in the industry. He mentions that he’s been through DEIJ presentations but that many times OTHER of the voices are not heard. When that happens, it becomes indoctrination from those with vengeance and resentment.

Deb is the next parent at 35.48 who asks about opting out of DEIJ. She proposes having a spiritual way to help kids who need to be prayed for.
**I have to ask where are those resources?  This is an excellent question to ask. DEIJ is supposed to be based on the non-discrimination laws. Those laws include equal justice for other groups of people in the protected classes. Discrimination against religious teachers and students is just as wrong as it is against any other protected class. Without addressing the other protected classes, a case can be made before the New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights. We all have equal protection under the law.

Jill speaks at 39.09 and is disturbed by Blansett’s Instagram and Podcasts where she reveals her feelings. She notes that a podcast was made two weeks ago. She’s embarrassed by Blansett because this is now a reflection on the school district. She wisely brings up that this money could be used for teacher training instead. Blansett does not have the experience for what they are looking for, and is concerned about what Blansett really thinks.

Darren, who speaks at 41.45, tells the Board that he did not bring his kids to Oyster River to drag his kids through ugly partisan politics. He tells the Superintendent that he hired a flawed candidate.

Jim is another speaker who you can find at the 49:28 mark. Jim works in Human Resources and offers some statistics on hiring practices. 94% of employers conduct background checks. 70% check a candidate’s social media accounts. He asks Blansett, what are you saying behind closed doors if you are putting that kind of information out there publicly?

Jeff speaks at 52.40 and mentions the t-shirt that Blancett wears proudly on her social media accounts. It says, Pro-Black, Pro-Queer, Pro-Hoe. He mentions that he had to look up what Pro-Hoe means and tells the board that it means Pro-Whore.

This is another example of a school spending tax dollars in an effort to radicalize and politicize the teachers and students in New Hampshire. We are seeing this in districts like SAU21, where they have hired a radical political organization to train the teachers. We saw it in SAU16, where the Superintendent, David Ryan, pushed Critical Race Theory through his commitment to DEIJ. They currently employ a DEIJ Director at a salary higher than the teachers in the district.

CRT is more hatred and bigotry falsely presented as a way to fight racism. It’s not. Most people want children to learn to respect each other, but CRT is more about pushing blame and shame on white kids while forcing black and brown children to see themselves as victims. Instead of uplifting all children to be more compassionate and caring, they are made to feel like they are oppressors or oppressed. No wonder so many have social and emotional problems. They have to deal with this pseudo psychology in school.

The parents in Oyster River are concerned about Blansett’s statements that “White People Are Not Ok” and that “White People Don’t Wash Their Legs, and Cant’ Dance.

Blansett has cleaned up her social media accounts, so you will not be able to access some of what she’s said publicly. But Darren, in his comments to the school board, made the comment, “when people show you who they are, believe them.”  It appears as if the parents have taken Blansett at her word.

As schools move to politicize their teachers and children, what will happen to the enrollment numbers? One parent mentioned how he was concerned about placing his kids in the district if this continues. Will this help the school choice movement as more and more parents become frustrated by this kind of ugly partisan politics aimed at their children?

Real social justice warriors should be hiring academic content experts who can provide the best education for the black and brown children. This would help all of the children in the district. Why not equip the marginalized students with knowledge so that they can pursue their dreams of becoming a doctor, scientist, or any other profession? Instead, they are inundated with a woke ideology that does nothing to help them qualify for top colleges.

Asking teachers to evaluate the books they choose for their students to read would help. Are children reading stories of courage, honesty, kindness, and compassion? Books that can help build good characteristics in the children they educate?

If DEIJ Directors would focus on academic excellence, a safe school environment that addresses bullying, and engaging parents in the community to get behind uplifting all students, I suspect the comments would be very different.

Superintendent Morse has found a way to divide the community, and that could spell more dumbing down for the marginalized children they say they want to help.

That’s what happens when you hire political activists instead of apolitical content experts that could improve the quality of education in the Oyster River Schools.

We’ve Got Another Case of Thumb Drives Flipping Votes in an Election

Thu, 2022-08-11 12:00 +0000

Just ask anybody responsible for ensuring faith in our elections, and they’ll tell you those electronic ballot counting contraptions are the bomb diggity. They are friggin bullet-proof Boy Scouts, doing their best to do their duty, to whoever programs them, before God and their country.

Or not.

We’ve seen more than a few incidents where these digital watchdogs of the secret ballot didn’t do the job and by a significant margin. But if you dare bring up something like vote-flipping, they’ll tell you it’s a fairy story even when it keeps happening.

 

Cherokee County, KS’s election was held last Tuesday on August 2nd.  During a post election audit, they discovered that the thumb drives used in the election flipped the votes cast for District 1 County Commissioner Myra Frazier and instead gave them to her opponent, Lance Nichols, who was initially declared the winner.

The software was improperly programmed, and the machine just gave votes for one candidate to another. A simple coding error that, it seems to me, can appear anywhere it is wanted.

As for that screw-up in Kansas? State law requires poll workers to audit certain races based on the type and year of the election.

 

“…since the only race alleged to be impacted by this questionable explanation of a “compromised thumb drive” was a county commissioner race, it is a pure fluke that that was one of the races selected to be audited.  Had any other race been selected, the results of this race would have gone unaltered and entirely against the will of the People of Cherokee County, KS.  Much like Antrim, where it was picked up the next morning by a local constituent who voiced his concern.  Or Dekalb, where it was only caught because the candidate showed zero votes in her own precinct.  Or Williamson, TN where a poll worker was keeping a tally of the ballots counted on a pad of paper and realized the tabulator tapes at the end of the night were way off.”

 

We had the Windham Incident explained away. There were issues in Derry, Merrimack (uninvestigated), and likely other towns. Problems are popping up all over the nation. In other words, voting integrity is still suspect. And the Left, the media, and stooges in the Sununu wing of the Republican party won’t touch the question because claiming election irregularities is domestic terrorism. But we still have to ask.

If these “machines” are so reliable, why do we keep encountering these issues, like an entire election flipped because the machine stole votes for one candidate and gave them to another? A flip that doesn’t happen unless someone tells the machine to do that.

And more importantly, much like what they are doing to public health, who gains by ensuring that the institution is so corrupted that (inevitably) no one trusts it?

America is Becoming Unrecognizable

Thu, 2022-08-11 10:30 +0000

The Biden administration is proving to be the most powerful in our history. In less than two years, they have done as much as they can to impact us negatively and are showing that they intend to complete Barack Obama’s goal, to transform America completely. The Biden administration needs to be stopped.

It is clear that what Biden’s team has done is by design and not by happenstance by the fact that not a single member of the staff has been fired. We are one year out from the debacle in Afghanistan, and the loss of thirteen men and women killed during the evacuation. Inflation is over 9% and may hit 10% when the July numbers come in soon.

The Southern Border has been eradicated, and over two million illegals have come across the Rio Grande. Chinese Fentanyl brought to this country through Mexico kills 100,000 young Americans yearly. Gas prices are still twice what they were when Biden took office because of the war on fossil fuels called but Biden. There is nothing I can cite that has helped the lives of Americans.

Joe Biden continues the move to weaponize the DOJ, FBI, IRS, and the Department of Education against Americans and political opponents. From the DOJ calling Americans domestic terrorists for showing they disagree with local school boards to their refusal to intervene with protestors outside the homes of Supreme Court Justices, the DOJ shows they are a partisan entity that needs to be reeled in.

The IRS will soon have 87,000 new agents, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. These agents will be tasked to hit the ground in search of tax evaders or cheats. Be ready for an agent to visit your neighborhood soon. The IRA allocates over $300 Billion for this new supersized arm of the government.

The DOJ has teamed up with the FBI to attack and hinder Donald Trump and raided his home at Mar-a-Lago while Trump was in New York. This raid was performed yesterday supposedly to recover boxes of documents that should have been transferred to the National Archives. A subpoena could have facilitated this recovery of Presidential papers, but that would not have made such a media splash. This political persecution had happened since 2015, when Trump entered the presidential race. The actions of the DOJ and FBI are to destroy any chance of Trump running for President in 2024. They tried to stop Trump from being elected by spreading the bogus Russian dossier created and paid for by Hillary Clinton. Now they want to stop any possible run by Trump in 2024.

The FBI was instrumental in squelching any talk of the Hunter Biden laptops and the money-making scheme by the Biden Cartel during Biden’s time as VP and now as President. The FBI convinced Social Media and the mainstream media to call the dossier fiasco misinformation and censor any mention on their platforms.

The Biden Administration, DOJ, and FBI may have gone too far with this latest action and all but assured that Trump will now enter the 2024 race. They have also unified and fired up all Republicans to circle the wagons in defense and support of Donald Trump. When the tsunami hits in November and Republicans take back the House and possibly the Senate, the Democrats best be ready to spend time in front of Republican led committees. Payback for the actions of the DOJ and FBI at the request of Biden

Working Together, We’ve Made Positive Changes for New Hampshire

Thu, 2022-08-11 01:30 +0000

I’m excited to be running for reelection as state representative for Merrimack County’s District 4 (Canterbury and Loudon). Serving in the legislature is not for everyone, but I love it. The pay in New Hampshire is only $100 a year, but for me, the rewards are intrinsic.

I’m very proud of sponsoring successful legislation that’s touched every community in the state for the better, including returning to an emphasis on teaching (civics) fundamentals, requiring more attention for neglected “gifted” students, promoting unified sports experiences, and much more.

Good friends are priceless, and I’ve made several at the State House. Working together, we’ve made positive changes for New Hampshire. Effective legislators do need to develop good relationships, and I’ve tried to connect with all kinds of folks from every part of New Hampshire: young and old, male and female, conservative and liberal.

While not locked into any ideological template, my perspectives generally reflect the traditional mainstream conservative Republicanism that’s served New Hampshire very well over the many years. And my perspectives are very public, as I’m not shy about writing Op-Eds, columns, BLOG items, social media posts and more—to include radio interviews or zoom sessions. I try to answer every personal message and always return phone calls.

I’m obviously a passionate supporter of free speech and the 1st Amendment—as well as the 2nd Amendment. While I can be outspoken about issues important to me, I also believe in mutual respect, and I try hard to understand other perspectives.  I’ve prime-sponsored and co-sponsored a good number of bipartisan measures. Folks from across the aisle may not love me but they know they can talk with me.

Politics is not beanbag and not everyone plays fair, but I always stress integrity, accountability, and service—as my campaign signs say—while hoping others will similarly take high roads.

This last session I was honored to serve as Vice Chair of the House Committee on State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs as well as on the (very busy!) House Education Committee. These two committees are perfect for me, as a former teacher/professor/coach as well as a retired Marine Corps infantry officer.

One thing I’m not good at is asking for help—i.e dollars. Consequently, I’ve mostly self-funded my campaigns with the attendant flyers, mailers, signs, ads and more—although I’m immensely grateful for the financial support given to me in the past by a generous few.
In a purple district such as mine it takes a lot of work to get elected or reelected. I lost my 2018 reelection bid by 55 votes when the other side spent an immense amount of out-of-state money and did at least six mass mailers throughout my district opposing me.  I was outspent by at least 10-1. While I returned to the State House after a huge win in 2020, indications are that the other side will be going back to their 2018 playbook and will be spending vast amounts of out-of-state money again. With memories of 2018 fresh in my mind, I’ll be working hard but would certainly appreciate any help from folks supportive of my perspectives and positions. Donations could be sent to “Mike Moffett for State Representative” at 144 Green View Drive, Loudon, N.H. 03307.

Or contact me anytime at michael.moffett@leg.state.nh.us.

And I encourage folks to participate in our important election processes on Sept. 13 and again on November 8.

Thanks for reading!

 

Michael I. Moffett (LtCol, USMCR) Professor/Author/N.H. State Representative Loudon, N.H. 03307

VT Republican Gerald Malloy Pulls Out US Senate Primary Win Over RINO “Favorite”

Thu, 2022-08-11 00:00 +0000

Vermont had a Primary yesterday. Governor, US House, and US Senate. And we’re happy (we think) to report a surprise victory. Gerald Malloy, the guy who ran as a conservative Republican for US Senate, beat the squishy moderate RINO candidate with 43% of the vote.

 

We covered this race once, on Sunday.

 

Peter Welch will be the Democrat primary winner for the open US Senate in Vermont. He is a Democrat Machine politician, big government, big spending, and more federal intrusion. Very popular on the Left.

Meanwhile, on the “right.”

Is the likely Republican primary voter in Vermont going to show up and vote for an actual Republican? Will the “independents” go with the third-way progressive republican or vie for something different and choose Malloy?

If they do, Malloy could pull off the upset primary win. If not, they’ll get Nolan, who will probably vote the right way on meaningless legislation and the wrong way on the important stuff. And that is assuming a majority of Vermonters don’t take the real Democrat in November.

 

So, how’d I do? Better than average. Welch crushed his Democrat opponents as expected, winning 87.4% of the vote in yesterday’s primary. I nailed that one. And enough “Republicans” “came out” for Malloy, so I’ll take a partial credit there, and here’s why. This is Vermont. It probably doesn’t matter.

Welch got 86,525 votes out of just over 90,000 on that side. The entire Republican primary ticket got about 28,000 votes. If that’s the best the GOP can do in a contested primary while Dems roll in close to 100K, stick a fork in the general election, I think it’s done.

Or is it?

As I said here yesterday,

 

The outcome of elections is never inevitable, less so when one side can lock out observers or pretend boxes, suitcases, or trucks full of ballots appearing in the middle of the night is not suspicious. But this November does not look good for team blue.

 

There are a lot of voters who don’t show up for primaries who will vote in the General. These are folks battered by inflation, high energy costs from local and national policy, shortages, and general malaise. So, the winds are blowing in Malloy’s direction and this may be the only chance the GOP has to take that VT seat.

Will the RNC invest in a Senate race like this in a state like Vermont? I don’t see it.

The Democrat-occupied US Senate seat up for grabs in NH is more winnable. Maggie Hassan is in trouble, pouring money into ads almost non stop trying to frame herself as a fiscally responsible moderate. Not true, but perception is what it is if there isn’t any pushback.

I have not seen that much pushback (we’ve done some here), but the national party, among others, say they will invest in that race. That’s the word on the street.

So, any left for Malloy?

We’ll have to wait and see, but my gut tells me Gerald will have to duke it out with the DNC’s ATM himself. And will the Left pony up bonus bucks for what should be an easy win?

Even just one 6-year term with a Republican Senator from Vermont could be a massive problem for the Lefty agenda, so while it should be a ‘gimme’ for Dems, they can’t ignore the political weather. I think they could go deep early and see where the polling takes them. If it’s not close, they’ll spend some and leave it up to issue advocacy groups to paint the picture they want voters to see.

If it’s close, they’ll have to commit serious cash.

My thought? I’m sticking with it won’t be close, but I hope it is. Nothing could be as fun as a Red Wave that robs the Left of a Senate seat in Vermont.

Sun-King Chris Sununu Supports The FBI’s War Against Donald Trump

Wed, 2022-08-10 22:30 +0000

I have searched, since the FBI’s assault on Mar-a-Lago, repeatedly for any reaction by New Hampshire’s Governor … or more accurately –given his position he can declare an “emergency” whenever he wants and turn the State Constitution off, and then do whatever he wants– Sun-King … to the FBI’s war against Donald Trump.

I have found NOTHING. The only conclusion that can be drawn … given the gravity of the line that the Biden-regime has crossed … is that Sun-King Sununu –like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell, etc. etc. etc.– supports using the power of government to destroy his political opponents.

Sun-King’s silence also proves that he flat-out lied, REPEATEDLY, when he was spewing his “I’m a Trump-guy” mantra.

If you are still planning on voting for Sun-King Sununu … you are supporting a Stalin-lite autocrat.

Take a Break With Bill Burr – “Motherhood Isn’t the Hardest Job”

Wed, 2022-08-10 21:00 +0000

Do you ever just need a break from all this political culture war craziness? Gender voodoo, speech police, and the growing mountain of hypocrisy coming from the Hypocrats on the Left.

It gets exhausting after a while, we get it. Not everyone gets up in the morning and says, hey, I think I’ll wade into a cesspool for some fresh blogging material. While an only slightly larger but growing segment of the populace wants to read it.

As they politicize everything, more people are forced to pay attention. It’s good for traffic but bad for the country, and as I’ve said many times, getting up and there being nothing to write about wouldn’t be that bad.

Everyone needs a break, so here, have one. Bill Burr. A younger Bill Burr (from 2016), and this segment is a bit easier on the language than the typical Bill Burr Bit.

The Job of motherhood, dog “rescue,” and microchipping all of us! Plenty of laughs (IMO). And nothing woke or politically correct about any of it.

 

And now back to your regularly scheduled observations about the authoritarians and their lap dog Republican pets.

Busing Illegal Aliens to DC and NYC Is Shifting Public Opinion on Immigration

Wed, 2022-08-10 19:30 +0000

During the runup to his 2016 presidential election victory, former President Donald Trump made illegal immigration and border security one of the primary aspects of his campaign’s platform. He would frequently encourage chants of “Build the Wall” at his rallies, and he wasn’t shy about calling out the problems America was facing due to the border crisis.

Put simply: Donald Trump was the face of the “Tighten Immigration” movement. That is… until now.

Though Arizona’s Republican Governor Doug Ducey has also been vocal in addressing the out-of-control influx of immigrants over our southern border, and even though Ducey has taken similar steps to curtail the flood, it is Texas Governor Greg Abbott who has been the most prominent in the debate and who has received much of the media attention as a result.

After his pleas for federal relief from the burden the migrants placed on his state continually fell on deaf ears, Abbott has been sending scores of busloads full of illegal immigrants northward to blue cities since April. Initially, Democratic mayors such as Eric Adams of New York and Muriel Bowser in Washington D.C. had lectured Ducey and Abbot to be tolerant and compassionate to the immigrants. But now that both cities are finding the immigrants landing on their own doorstep, they are attacking the two governors.

The face of the counter-immigration movement is no longer Donald Trump, it is Greg Abbott. And not only is Abbott winning the debate against Adams and Bowser, but he also appears to be having a major impact on public opinion on the matter across the country.

According to Forbes:

“Support for immigration has hit a two-year low, according to a new Gallup poll released Monday, as a political battle heats up over Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s strategy to send migrants from the Mexican border to Washington D.C. and New York City.

27% of respondents said immigration should be expanded, marking a downward shift from a peak of 34% that supported increasing immigration in 2020 and breaking a 65-year steady rise in support for immigration, according to the poll of 1,013 people conducted between July 5 and July 26.

38% said immigration numbers should decrease, up from 28% in 2020, while 31% believe it should be kept at the present level.”

As Rush Limbaugh might say, “For those of you in Rio Linda, let’s summarize that math.” In only two years. The opinions regarding immigration have virtually reversed. The poll shows that support for expanding immigration has declined by 7%, whereas support for decreasing immigration has increased by 10%. That’s a whopping 17% shift in public opinion in only two years. The drop in support for immigration has declined almost as sharply as President Joe Biden’s approval rating.

So, what is the cause? Why has there been such a dramatic turnaround? Abbott’s maneuver with the immigrant buses has resulted in two notable results. First, his busing of the illegal immigrants to the northeast has heightened awareness of the problem with the overall electorate by illustrating that it’s not just a Texas and Arizona problem. It’s a problem for the whole country and one that affects all of us.

COVID-19 Is the Greatest Medical Fraud Perpetrated on Humanity

Wed, 2022-08-10 18:00 +0000

Covid-19 is the greatest medical fraud perpetrated on humanity. The Covid-19 countermeasures, including the “vaccines,” masks, and testing, are the largest unethical coerced harmful medical, psychological, sociological, and political experiments and torture conducted on humans.

It appears to be part of or being used to support the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset”. Notably, the vaccine manufacturers Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, and Pfizer are all partners of the World Economic Forum. The Covid-19 scenario made us a soft target, and we are under siege.

Our “leadership” from 2020-present has, for the most part, allowed and perpetrated the fraud and “soft murder.” The few leaders who resisted did it in a titanic sort of way; they half filled the few lifeboats we had with the rich and powerful while they locked the poor and vulnerable below deck!

Future proposed leadership is lining up to cover it up with platitudes and the “oh well, fall in line” approach. They trust that you will either be enslaved, dead, doped up on social media, or will have forgotten who authorized this when your children and grandchildren demonstrate that they have mental, emotional, and physical disabilities and/ or infertility issues because of the Covid-19 countermeasures (God forbid!).

Yeah, we all know the “masks don’t work,” and the “government has no business mandating an experimental vaccine.” That is common sense! Such platitudes dressed up as platforms are meant to allow you to corral yourself with your own imagination of the possibility of your salvation without commitment to specific actions on the part of the candidate. Without a clear positive, unifying ideology, there will be no clear objectives; without clear objectives, there will be failure. Slow, agonizing failure.

Has political change actually ever occurred through vague platitudes? No. The Democrat leadership knows this better than Republicans! It is evident in how they have specific objectives, and they never compromise on their objectives; they hold the line politically, they have an ideology and they push it without apology. They pull the Republicans, and The People, with them. The Democrat leadership is winning and will continue to win, so long as they can articulate their ideology and objectives better than you can, even if their ideology and objectives are harmful. Democrats are bold, so others are sold.

We need to immediately and clearly articulate our Founding ideology as one of free will, local relationships, personal faith, and entrepreneurship expressed through Individual Rights, State Sovereignty, and continued U.S. unity and Independence. We need to take the initiative with specific peaceful actions that will immediately remedy the harm done and stop harm to come. To take back the initiative, we must act, not merely react.

With your support, we will accomplish the following with regard to “public health.” Sponsor legislation to end all Federally mandated vaccinations and other countermeasures like masks and testing. Sponsor legislation to have those who mandated Covid-19 countermeasures be suspended, investigated, and prosecuted for violations of treaties, as well as Federal laws such as the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. Sponsor legislation that clearly states that mandated vaccinations, and other mandated medical countermeasures, are violations of the Second Amendment because they violate its underlying premise, bodily integrity.

Sponsor legislation to investigate the existence, identification, and origin of Sars-Cov-2 and disclose to the public the entire truth. Sponsor legislation to repeal the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, thereby making vaccine manufacturers liable for their vaccines once again. Sponsor legislation under Article 4 Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution to audit the States for violations of their Republican form of government during the declared states of Emergency. Sponsor legislation to cancel and prevent treaties that threaten our independence and bodily integrity. Finally, sponsor legislation to make whole, the best we can, the lives that have been destroyed by the Covid-19 scenario and the Covid-19 countermeasures.

It is not enough to want change in a positive direction. It is not enough to talk about it, tweet about it, share it on Facebook, complain about it, rage about it, dream about it, hope for it, pat yourself on the back because you know you are right; those things only dissipate your energy, you actually have to vote for it! And, you have to be able and willing to communicate to your opponent, in a civil and convincing manner, why you are voting for it, so they too have the opportunity to get on board. If we focus our peaceful opposition and propositions on principles, not people, we can change minds!

The above-proposed actions will revitalize our freedom and prosperity on one front, public health.

Popular sovereignty means you “choose your own adventure”! What will you vote for next?
