Manchester, N.H.
Western Journal has done an excellent job of adding some balance to the business of news and media, but I laughed out loud when I read this headline: “Biden Has All But Lost His Advantage in Key Voting Bloc that Drove 2020 Win, Devastating Poll Shows.”
I laughed because you can’t poll the voting bloc that got him elected in 2020.
To give WJ its due, the report looks at polling among 18-24-year-olds, a majority of whom voted for Biden in 2020 but, having been crushed by Bidenomics, are beginning to bleed away from Democrats, some of them toward Trump.
The trend of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 was already looking negative for Democrats according to data from the 2016 to the 2020 presidential elections, with 58 percent favoring former first lady Hillary Clinton in 2016 over then-Republican nominee Donald Trump’s 28 percent, but Trump scoring 35 percent against Biden’s 59 percent in 2020.
That’s according to Pew Research data; in Axios’ 2024 survey, however, Biden, 81, scored a little worse at 52 percent and Trump, 77, came in much stronger with 48 percent — a 4-point gap compared to 2020’s 24-point gap.
The number is not insignificant, which is likely why Whoever is Running the Biden administration is playing the “We’ll forgive your student loans” in Debt-Minor, hoping to recreate past fraud. You can fool some 18-24-year-olds most of the time, but forgiving debt doesn’t solve the real issue. Even without a school loan payment, living is 18-24% more expensive (in many cases, more), and there is nothing in the Bidenista’s economic quiver that looks different from all the shots they’ve already taken. Some of those “kids” might have even figured out that the debt payoff scheme would make everything else worse (which it would). More Biden equals more Bidenomics, which means rising misery.
The Dems can’t afford to suffer too much more voting bloc attrition. It makes it much more challenging to steal elections with faked mail-in ballots, which are the “voting bloc” you can’t poll. Biden won because of a deliberately coordinated campaign to censor objection to the chain of custody issues with mail-in voting and a night’ surge in “mail-in ballots” for Vote Fraud Joe that took as long as it takes to count to ensure he won.
That demographic isn’t in prison, not that this is a deterrent, so they are still 100% for Joe Biden. Unless or until the mysterious Mail-in-Ballot voting bloc ‘demographic” changes sides (or stays home), young adults can get as disenfranchised with Creepy Uncle Joe as they like.
Not much will change if their vote for his opponent doesn’t get counted or is erased by another brute-force act of ballot box stuffing like the one we had in 2020. Democrats will simply count longer and harder until the Democrat is declared the winner.

Unfortunately, liberals have become mostly wacko. That is why ‘Liberal’ has become a word with negative connotations. The extreme religious right wing has always been the core of right-wing wackos. The transformation of liberals into “Karens” has been the failure of the mainstream liberals to maintain a core of self-respecting people who, in general, just want to help people.
Now, I can’t tell the liberals from the Wacko Liberals. There are a few semi-conservative liberals left but they are truly the minority. Both of the extremes are evil, but the right-wing religious nuts seem to be more compassionate of non-religious conservatives, and the right-wing conservatives have also been more accepting of less staunch conservatives.
Liberals, on average, have lost the ability to defend their beliefs. I have seen this time and time again in my being slightly right of center as I have been my entire life, but my move further right was not the conservatives gaining strength, but I was moved further right by the amount of leftists going off the rails.

This year is the first year in 28 years in which I did not hold my nose to vote Republican (Anti-democrat). I was never a real Republican. Although
I was always a Conservative. I was a wanna-be Hippie when I was young and at that early age did not know what liberalism was. As I grew, I learned about socialism and how it closely resembled liberalism. Then, with the Nuke plant coming to New Hampshire, I realized I was not a true hippie liberal and left the protesting to others. Good thing, too; a couple of friends at the time got arrested. It could have changed my life forever.
I ended up voting 3rd party and Libertarian for many years. Until the Clintonistas drove me to the right, and I became an Anti-democrat. The following elections, up until this year, also had the remains of the leftist loony Clintonistas. Yes, they are still there, but Trump’s failings finally put me back in the realm of being against the two-party system.
I can no longer support a corrupt two-party system. Unlike the majority of liberals, I am able to clearly defend my positions and my votes, whereas the majority of liberals are unable to do so by supporting a lying, cheating, scumbag pedophile with Alzheimer’s. And I can defend with proof each of my words describing the moron in the Whitehouse today.
I had originally asked liberals for one positive thing Biden has done while in office to make the country a better place, and after a long while, I had one answer with an actual good reply. I believe it was here in Carrol County, Uncensored, too. So now I have to ask for Two positive things. (Remember, stuff like lowering gas prices does not count since they went up under Biden).
So many items that cannot be defended, such as the lockdowns under both Trump and Biden, the monetary support of the lab in Wuhan, open borders, the ignoring of the constitution by allowing illegals to remain in this country, paying back college loans for a select group of people who made bad choices, supporting the money-grubbing medical industry in its hypocritical move to mutilate physically healthy patients, allowing males to compete in women’s sports, and this administration’s blind faith in inclusion to the detriment of this country. Biden has chosen liars, thieves, and people with much less ability than these positions require, besides the fact that inclusion seems to mean even people who are far from normal. This administration has basically claimed to want a New Normal.
I don’t know if the Liberal Hippies of the ’60s would fall in line with all the loony left has to offer today, but even dictionaries are listing the word Liberal as now having negative connotations. How did the left of the 60s, who I admired, allow their cause to be taken over, and even today, with very few leftists speaking out about the extremism going on?

Well before 2020, a host of non-partisan citizens committed to voter integrity found each other in a spirit of civic duty as directed under our NH Constitution. As our ranks and trust grew, so did our efforts and work, resulting in citizen audits demonstrating significant and ongoing violations of best practices outlined in the Sec. of State Voting Procedure Manual.
Including a Pro Se’ NH Constitutional lawsuits/challenges, one of which is currently before the NH Supreme Court (Daniel Richard-V- Gov. Sununu en el case ’# 2023-0097)
Many of these formal and informal complaints have been filed before the Ballot Law Commission (appears to consist of 11 out of 12 NH attorneys – NO citizens – what could go wrong here) and NH Attorney General Formella to yet no avail. A majority of citizens now believe law enforcement and Sec. of State Scanlan are utilizing delay tactics to allow claims to expire under the statute of limitations. Justice delayed is not justice served.
Yet the most destructive piece of this long-term and ongoing deception is orchestrated by two chairmen of, ironically, the House Election Law and Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs Committees. Many are now convinced after years of inaction and now clear, outright coordinated deception. (HB154 Health Care bill turned in a non-germane voting machine bill via sleight of hand –in not allowing true/ honest public debate). Senator Gray and Rep. Ross Berry have violated their sworn oath of office, usurped our NH citizen’s civil rights, as well as failed to protect our sovereign and sacred voting rights.

To bring some more depth to these claims, please ask Rep Ross Berry why, over the last four years, citizens, through their elected reps, have submitted over # 80 plus LSR/ Bills before his committee. Only to be marked with his infamous “ITL” recommendation (inability to Legislate). After review, it appears no less than just a few citizen bills under “ ITL” Rep Ross Berry’s leadership made it out of his committee. Yet if you’re the Sec. of State, your success before this committee is close to 100%
Now let’s pile on – add insult to the tax payer and citizen’s injury. While most citizens are working two jobs trying to pay their property taxes, food, education, etc., most are unable to attend committee hearings during the weekday from 9-5. While we are out working, just like in DC, a well-funded group of lobbyists paid for by us ( dues from town taxes) – in many cases fight against our best interests. (see Municipal Assoc. representing Town Moderators, Clerks, Selectman, and Town Attorneys alike). Ask Senator Gray if they lobbied him on HB 154.
GREAT NEWS: A revolt by 162 of our elected reps led By Rep Nikki McCarter and others in the house voted recently to send HB 154 back to a “committee of conference” to expose the sham and fix it. It failed, but hope is Eternal!
Despite the apparent silence and fear of traditional NH newspaper journalists to expose, as well as the history of lawyers (afraid for their careers) to represent “We the People” voting rights in court, you/we must now be stepping up in every town meeting, doing our civic duty. In doing so, we are teaching our children and grandchildren how to fight for our most precious and sovereign right to free, fair elections, where every vote is counted as authorized by our NH Constitution ( Part II Art:32).
In closing please ask your legislators if they were one of the Honorable 162, who stood up for your Civil Rights, Transparency & Voting Rights.
Shame on the rest!

Do they really think we are that ignorant? Do they really think that they can gaslight us that we are safer under Biden’s policies? Do they really think that we are deaf and blind to the horrid scenes that we watch with our morning coffee and again with our evening cocktail? Since Joe Biden has been our President, one cocktail is insufficient to get through the evening news.
Joe Biden addressed the press this week about the Biden initiative to continue to make our cities safer. He painfully stumbled through a list of crime categories that he claims are all showing the lowest rates in decades. One thing that is quite clear after three years of Joe Biden is stats mean nothing because you can play with the numbers to get your desired result. You need to look no further than inflation and employment numbers to see how useless they are. When you have put the cuffs on police, do not allow arrests, and put blindfolds on your District Attorneys so that criminals who do get arrested do not get prosecuted, the crime numbers. If you ignore crime, then, of course, the crime numbers will improve. The question then becomes, if you ignore crime, are there no victims? Of course not. Remember, we are watching the news and living in this crime-riddled world of Joe Biden.
We know the explosion of crime since 2020 and the death of George Floyd. It is incredible how ironic it is that the unfortunate death of a career criminal marks the start of the movement by the Left to declassify crime. Floyd is still celebrated to this day as a bill named in his honor passes through Congress. The bill is not to make the country safer for its citizens but to make handling criminals more humane. Ignore the elderly woman who just had her handbag snatched by a gang member riding a scooter. Look away from the shop owner who had to shut down his store because his insurance was canceled after so many ransackings. Shame the young woman who has to live the rest of her life remembering the day she was raped. Please don’t mention the name of the girl in Georgia whose head was disfigured from the beating she took that ended her life. But make sure you harken George Floyd’s name when discussing the need for compassion when dealing with the perpetrators of crime.
I admire Senator John Kennedy’s ability to stick a knife into a person testifying before his committee and still maintain the good old boy demeanor. He torched Federal Prison Director Peters this week when discussing the First Step Act, which puts selected criminals back into society. Director Peters administers the program. Kennedy asked her a series of questions, which the director was unable to answer:
An exasperated Kennedy closed his questions with the comment, “this is why Americans do not trust the government.”
And Joe Biden is another reason why we don’t trust the government. He and his family make up one of the biggest crime families in the country, and he preaches to us that crime is down. Sorry, Joe, we are not buying what you are pushing.

I am using the nautical term “come about” because Alderman Dowd, the 2023 Secret Keeper of the Year, is a Navy veteran and has repeatedly reminded the voters that he’s a submarine expert.
The mismanagement of millions of dollars of ESSER funds was kept under wraps during his campaign until after he was reelected to a 7th term, securing another two years of his committee chairmanship last November, but that was the past. Let’s talk about the present and the future.
At the end of Tuesday night’s meeting during public comment, Ward 2’s Mr. Gouthro spoke about transparency at 1:31:20 until he was cut off 3 minutes later and followed by Laurie Ortolano at 1:34:35. Pay close attention to Laurie’s comments because they involve the future. She politely requested transparency regarding the Mohawk Tannery, which The Swamp has been hoping stays low on the radar. In spite of all current, recent, and not-so-recent baggage(assessor’s office, arts center, and litigation), the “L-Team”(Laurie Ortolano and Laura Colquhoun) has been hard at work monitoring its developments as they unfold.
Also currently a work in progress, though in Concord, is the RTK Tax, aka HB 1002, which has a House Judiciary Committee executive session next Wednesday, 3/6, at 10 am. Consider it serendipity because her comments illustrate why the materialization HB 1002 would be a horrible thing. Think about the fishing expedition on top of another fishing expedition that could exist at the truth seeker’s expense! It’s been said more times than I have counted that RTK inquiries are NOT weaponized malice and that the good faith requestor is willing to work with the stewards of the public information being requested. Laurie Ortolano has made clear that she plans to be monitoring the Mohawk Tannery project and has given ample notice, so it should be considered a fair warning.
In Nashua, it would be in everyone’s best interest that her request from the podium is properly honored, and it would be in the best interest of everyone(in Nashua or elsewhere in NH) that HB 1002 dies in the House.

I wouldn’t expect this to catch on anywhere else soon. A California judge called the federal government for ‘selective prosecution.’ “Charging right-wing rioters but not the far-left agitators they fought against, and who did the exact same thing.”
“No individuals associated with the left, who engaged in anti-far-right speech and violently suppressed the protected speech of Trump supporters, were charged with a federal crime for their part in starting riots at political events. That is textbook viewpoint discrimination,” he wrote. “Most telling in this case is the government’s silence as to why it never pursued a case against a single member of Antifa or related far-left groups with respect to their violent conduct at pro-Trump events.”
“Defendants have established selective prosecution. There is no doubt that the government did not prosecute similarly situated individuals. Antifa and related far-left groups attended the same Trump rallies as Defendants with the expressly stated intent of shutting down, through violence if necessary, protected political speech. At the same Trump rallies that form the basis for Defendants’ prosecution, members of Antifa and related far-left groups engaged in organized violence to stifle protected speech,” he continued.
The judge threw out charges in what might be a first. Right-wing violence, if that’s what it was, has been given the same deference as left-wing violence.
We’re not condoning any violence by anyone. The Second Amendment protects the right to self-defense. If attacked, you know what to do with the understanding that the feds and many a prosecutor will still arrest and charge you for that. So, don’t think that since one judge let two guys off for doing what Antifa does justifies that behavior or that anyone is going to start regularly charging Antifa thugs as the criminals they are.
And a quick note to Antifa and any other direct-action progressives. Remember what Mao did to the Red Guard.
You’ve been warned (again).

Late in the fall of 2023, the Supreme Court issued mandates that ordered the City of Nashua to follow the trial court’s order in two Right-to-Know (RTK) Petitions and produce emails stored on backup tape. The email records requested were for two months of specific records within Nashua’s assessing office.
Nashua lacks written policies for handling record requests and is uncooperative in reducing the burden. Until eighteen months ago, emails were provided without attachments, and requesters were only informed of email volume, not including attachments.
The City hired Attorney Russ Hilliard 18 months ago for Right to Know (RTK) legal challenges. At this time, the City decided to review each page, page number, redact as needed, and insert all attachments into records before providing them to requesters. Requesters were not informed of this new process. An email request with 1000 emails could have 20,000 pages of attachments. Citizens may not want staff to review voluminous attachments that are already public records. For instance, Nashua’s assessing office has a data disk with 3400 pages of numbers which is already a public record on their website.
The City began producing the Court ordered email records in December of 2023. The city was being evasive and uncooperative in specifying the number of pages of documents involved. The City began providing all the attachments, primarily public records, without communicating with the requester. Of course, the requester informed the City that she did not want the attachments.
The city informed her that they would continue to review, number, insert, and redact all those records regardless of her request not to receive the attachments. It turns out that this is causing a long delay in the delivery of the records. It appears the city will need about 15 months to deliver the records. However, the city is unwilling to provide a timeframe for completion. The City refuses to provide the attachment page volume even though they have this answer. This City operates with malicious compliance.
The requester reopened both lawsuits, filed a protective order, a contempt order and an RTK lawsuit. The hearing is on April 22, 2024 at Nashua Superior Court.
The City hypocritically advocates for the State to amend the RTK law to charge fees for voluminous requests while working to increase the volume of the documents by adding unwanted attachments thereby increasing fees to be charged to citizens. All this while complaining of burdensome citizens making unreasonable demands. In reality, the burden and inflated costs are created by hostile City leaders to discourage and delay documents. Nashua City leaders work tirelessly to marginalize citizens who do not echo their message.
A Win is never a Win in Nashua.

Polling on the problem of too much free speech is a scary enough prospect as the Government that lies to us works to convince Americans that it not only has no obligation to protect their First Amendment rights but that citizens should rally to demand it take them.
According to a new poll from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a First Amendment organization, nearly a third of Americans, including similar numbers of Republicans and Democrats, say that the First Amendment goes “too far” in the rights it guarantees. More than half agreed that their local community should not allow a public speech that espouses a belief they find particularly offensive.
When I saw the headline, I thought one-third could be Democrats, but as the pull quote reveals, an equal number of Republicans make up that number. Would it be brash to suggest they should not be registered as Republicans? Certainly not “conservative, as this would run contrary to the notion of conserving the natural rights our Government allegedly exists to protect.
That’s what Conservative means, by the way. The uniparty has been working on all cylinders to dilute that notion and succeeding. Many think there is such a thing as hate speech. That misinformation and disinformation are things a government (even through proxies) should be allowed to manage.
Half of the respondents said that their community “definitely” or “probably” should not permit a public speech expressing the opinion they found most offensive. A whopping 69 percent said a local college should “definitely” or “probably” not allow a professor who holds such an opinion to teach there. Over a quarter of respondents said that someone who previously said the offensive opinion should be fired from their job.
It is a sad day and not just for speech. Too many people have been lulled into complacency. They have no idea why the Bill of Rights and Constitutions exists. Once you let the Government take something away, it will not give it back, nor will it stop until it has taken it all.
This needs to change, and while Independent media has made significant inroads in recent years, it is clear that more work needs to be done. As we like to remind you, liberty is more precious, rare, even than life, and tyranny never rests, so neither can we.
Here is the survey from FIRE.
