Kingston and East Kingston Voters: Ted Lloyd for State Rep

Sat, 2024-06-22 08:00 +0000

My name is Ted Lloyd and I’m running for State Rep in Kingston and East Kingston to be your eyes, ears and voice in Concord.

When elected, I will work with our legislative delegation to:

  • keep the NH economy strong and lower our tax burden
  • restore the security of the Northern and Southern borders
  • ensure that our elections are secure
  • bring back excellence to education.

And, I will fight to ensure that NH legislation is always within the boundaries set by our New Hampshire and U.S. Federal constitutions.

Our two towns are fortunate to have a strong delegation to the to the State House:

  • Bill Gannon of Sandown represents us in Senate District 23;
  • Mark Pearson of Hampstead represents us in Rockingham House District 34;
  • Ken Wyler of Kingston and Deb Hobson of East Kingston represent us in Rockingham House District 14.

I know each of them very well — I’ve worked with them, and I’ve campaigned with them.

Rep. Hobson has decided not to run for re-election.

I’ve been encouraged by Rep. Wyler and Rep. Pearson to run for her seat, and I’m working with former Rep. David Welch to become more familiar with the details of the job and the people in the House.

Even as a newcomer to our legislative team, I am well-prepared to work with Ken, Mark, and Bill to listen to you and to work for you in Concord. I will work closely with them to serve the people of Kingston and East Kingston.

My Background

I was born in 1946, an early member of the “baby boom” generation. My father was the son of an immigrant father and a Yankee mother. My mother was the daughter of an immigrant father and a native-born mother. My wife Gisela is a German immigrant and naturalized citizen.

I was raised in a small suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota, and have a liberal arts Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Business Administration.

I joined the Gillette Company in St. Paul in 1979, was transferred to the Boston area in 1989, rose to the ranks of senior management, and retired at the end of 2001.

My values and priorities come from three areas that form the basis of my personal philosophy: God and Church, Family and Community, and our State and Nation:

God & Church

I am a Christian and an active member of Trinity Church in Kingston.

I believe that God and His Church are the fundamental sources of moral standards and virtue in the world.

Family & Community

Gisela and I were married on January 1st, 1997, and our blended family includes two sons, two daughters, and 14 grandchildren.

I believe that the family is the elemental organizing unit of humanity and that the community is the basic building block of civilization.

Gisela and I moved to East Kingston in 2004, and over the past 20 years have made it our adopted “home town.”

I have served on:

  • East Kingston’s New Library Building Committee, which built our new Library
  • the Library Board of Trustees for 10 years
  • the Planning Board
  • the Salary Review Committee
  • the Co-op School Board, and
  • the Trustees of the Trust Funds for the past 11 years, for which I am the chair.

I believe that marriage and the family are the elemental organizing factors for humanity and that the community is the basic building block of civilization.

I firmly believe in giving back to our community.

State & Nation

My father fought in World War II with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific theater. I am a Vietnam-era veteran, having also served in the Navy from 1968 to 1972.

I am currently the Chair of the East Kingston Republican Town Committee.

Previously, I served for five years as the Treasurer and then 1 year as Chair of the 4-town Republican Town Committee, of which East Kingston was a part.

I believe that the people are sovereign and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

I believe that governments are established by the people to secure those rights.

I believe that our Federal Constitutional Republic was formed to perform certain delegated but limited functions of government.

It is under these terms that we owe allegiance to our Nation.

I Need Your Support

I humbly ask for your support in my campaign and for your vote in the September 10th Primary Election. Here are some ways you can help:

  • Tell your friends and neighbors about my campaign
  • Sign up for my e-mail list to get updates on my campaign
  • Allow me to place a yard sign on your property
  • Volunteer to help with my campaign. I need people to
  • write letters
  • to hold signs for me at events
  • to help me go for-to-door meeting voters, or
  • to make phone calls for me
  • If you can, I need donors to help defray my campaign costs. $25, $50, $100 or more would be a significant help
  • Finally, and most importantly, please VOTE FOR ME in the Primary Election on September 10th!

Night Cap: Another Bad Week for Big Green as Inconvenient Truths Come Callin’

Sat, 2024-06-22 02:00 +0000

Not everyone has been able to take advantage of the gobs of taxpayer money pouring between the seams to encourage the adoption of so-called green technologies. And it’s not because they aren’t truly green. Joe’s Build Back Better has beaten back business.

Inflation and demand have made surviving in this “environment” challenging.

Electric vehicle maker Fisker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the second electric startup to do so in the last year as even industry leaders struggle to lure more buyers beyond the early adapters of the technology. …

“Like other companies in the electric vehicle industry, we have faced various market and macroeconomic headwinds that have impacted our ability to operate efficiently,” the company said in a prepared statement late Monday. “After evaluating all options for our business, we determined that proceeding with a sale of our assets under Chapter 11 is the most viable path forward for the company.”

It’s too expensive, even with government-backstopped bailouts or incentives. The free money doesn’t make up for the devalued currency and the rising cost of doing business. And Fisker is based in California, where Gov Nuisance has promised an EV in every driveway by 2035 or some such thing with the caveat that you, thanks to rain taxes, might not be able to afford (or want) a driveway either.

The not-so-sunny economic picture has also claimed one of the nation’s largest solar installers.

Titan Solar, which installed thousands of systems across the U.S., informed its employees June 13 that it was “closing its doors,” having failed to secure a buyer for the company, according to an email obtained by TIME. In the email, Titan said that it had helped over 100,000 households go solar.

Titan is not the only solar installer to close up shop lately. The company, which could not be reached for comment for this story—its website has shut down—is one of 16 major solar outfits that have filed for bankruptcy in 2023 and 2024, according to Solar Insure, which offers warranties and monitoring for homeowners who have solar. They include Pink Energy and Vision Solar, which like other operators in the industry faced regulatory action and numerous consumer complaints. Customers are left with solar panels on their homes that they may or may not want. Some are working with lenders to find another company to take over the maintenance of their panels; others are just trying to get out of the loans.

Residential installs peaked as fly-by-night “startups” appeared magically to line up at another taxpayer-fed feeding trough. However, relying on government handouts to incentivize private market sales is not a sustainable future, especially in a high-inflation economy. Sure, you can find cheap solar panels from China made with slave labor and dirty coal, but it doesn’t help with all the other fixed costs.

Related: Night Cap: Solar Panels Are Getting Exponentially Less Green By Leaps and Bounds

The cost of doing business climbed like Joe, out of the basement and into the heart of DC police making. Thining margins and price pressures on customers erase any incentive benefits, and if you can’t afford to feed your family, a solar install is probably not even on your radar.

The wind isn’t faring much better, not from a lack of trying—and they are still trying, and why not? Sure, it blows electricity prices into the stratosphere, but Companies that embrace wind get a huge tax credit.

“For example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” – Warren Buffett

This is driving Offshore wind as misguided environs, opportunistic politicos, and energy companies align despite the threat to consumers’ pockets and whales. Politicians want the green street cred, and Energy companies want the green tax credits, and no one cares who else has to pay. The scam is literally the very thing the keep it in the ground folks mean when they claim Big Oil gets all sorts of taxpayer support as if that would end if we stopped using Fossil Fuels.

Dopes. Every incentive or inducement is a product of politicians giving in to lobbying as if that would stop or isn’t in play. It very much is with a difference. Big Oil could stay in business without it – and provide abundant on-demand electricity. Green tech can’t and won’t even with the inducements, and the price for ratepayers is an economy-killing drag on everything else.

All lies and promises – the wind industry has finally been rumbled in Germany and is about to be shown the door in Australia.

The wind industry and its parasites have been guilty of more than just a little hubris.  Claiming to be able to deliver cheap, reliable sparks was always going to be their undoing. Gradually, Europeans are waking up to the unassailable fact that wind power is based on a technology that was redundant before it began.

No modern economy can run with electricity delivered at crazy, random intervals.  To compensate for that meteorological fact, Germany is flat out building more coal fired power stations – not less.  Around the globe the wind industry promises to displace “dirty” coal fired power and Germany is no exception. But the reality is very different: the facts have finally caught up with them – wind power will never replace fossil fuel generators and the cost of having capacity to back up wind power is astronomical.

German industry is bailing out and heading to the US – where power is a third of the cost that it is in Germany – and some 800,000 German homes have been disconnected from the grid – victims of what is euphemistically called “fuel poverty”. For Germans the attraction to wind power is fading fast – funny about that.

Less but still more than it should be.

We need to stop this progressive madness. The goal was to make electricity too expensive so we’d use less. What they seem to have forgotten is that making energy cost more makes EVERYTHING cost more. The combined rise in the cost of everything has an exponential impact on daily budgets and not just lifestyles but lives.

This deliberate assault has fueled inflation, already exacerbated by Democrat-Party-led DC policy.

Court Slaps Down Another ATF “Rule” Change

Sat, 2024-06-22 00:00 +0000

Back in February, Steve posted, “As Pistol Brace Rule Teeters on Doom, ATF Defense Shifts To … You Can’t Sue Us.” He led up to that with this, and Ian had one of his own concerning Pistol Braces and the ATF bending to the Democrat “popular demand.

Let’s make it illegal to own this even if you purchased a brace when the ATF  (the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) said it was legal.

As opposed to the recent SCOTUS decision on bump stocks, in which the ATF tried to claim that a bump stock makes an AR-15 pattern firearm a machinegun by redefining Congress’ clear writing and definition of what a machinegun (a fully-automatic firearm whereby a single pull of the trigger results in multiple rounds being fired) is.

SCOTUS slapped them upside their heads with a stock of their own; this was the ATF trying to do an agency sidestep of the Administrative Procedures Act, which lays out a specific methodology by which a government agency can make regulations that have the Force of Law.

Sidenote: passed in 1946, the Administrative Procedures Act was a great move forward of the Progressive philosophy that the Constitution was outmoded and that we, the citizens, should not be governed by elected Representatives but ruled by “experts” that “know what’s better for you than you do yourself”. It set the stage for the explosion of regulations and in Congress basically giving up its Constitutional mandate to be the only entity that makes Law. Nowadays, it is the Executive Branch (housing all these agencies) that makes the vast majority of Law as Congress merely throws their bills over the wall for government employees to do the grunge work of fixing what Legislators didn’t want to take the time to do things right.

What we are now seeing is that mere agencies are changing their “interpretations” of a law to make it fit what they want. For instance, the EPA changing MPG regulations such that only electric cars can meeting them (and the unelected CA CARB doing the same thing there). Imagine that – we’ve allowed ourselves to be ruled by a neo-Aristocracy / Nomenklatura and not by our representatives BECAUSE we don’t hold the latter sufficiently to account.

/rant

So, a US District Court, Judge Reed O’Connor, ruled that the ATF couldn’t even follow the APA well enough to make their new Rule legal. It was a case of “ideology over law” (something we’ve seen too much of in the Biden Administration these past few years). So, adding a pistol brace to an AR-15 pistol doesn’t turn it into a barreled Rifle as defined in the National Firearms Act of 1935 (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Federal Judge Overturns ATF ‘Pistol Brace’ Rule

A federal judge in Texas has overturned a rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that targeted pistol attachments known as “stabilizing braces” or “pistol braces” and treated pistols fitted with such devices as short-barreled rifles, subjecting them to various restrictions.

In a 12-page decision issued on June 13, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor ruled that the ATF’s rule that treated roughly 99 percent of pistols fitted with the braces as short-barreled rifles violated the Administrative Procedures Act’s procedural requirements because it was not a “logical outgrowth” of the proposed version of the rule.
“The Court finds that the adaptation of the Final Rule was arbitrary and capricious for two reasons,” Judge O’Connor wrote. “First, the Defendants did not provide a detailed justification for their reversal of the agency’s longstanding position. And second, the Final Rule’s standards are impermissibly vague.”

These braces were invented to help disabled veterans who wanted to continue to shoot guns as a sport but were unable to do so due to their injuries. The ATF has, on several occasions, said that such braces did not force such pistols into the SBR category, which requires the same kind of scrutiny (and payment of a tax) due to machine guns and suppressors. A

After telling folks it was OK to have and use, their “Final Rule” pulled the rug out from underneath millions of gun owners and instantly made them felons…how convenient to destroy their Second Amendment Right to keep and bear arms!

So now that the Rule has been “vacated” (e.g., the ATF is not allowed to enforce it), it will most likely end up at SCOTUS.  I’m betting that they will slap it down (6-3) as well.

From the decision (emphasis mine, reformatted):

For close to a decade, the ATF concluded that “attaching the brace to a firearm does not alter the classification of the firearm or subject the firearm to NFA control.” The ATF changed course on this position for the first time in 2023, when it issued the Final Rule reversing the agency’s otherwise long-standing policy. “When an agency changes course, as [the ATF] did here, it must ‘be cognizant that longstanding policies may have engendered serious reliance interests that must be taken into account.’” Dep’t of Homeland Sec. v. Regents of the Univ. of Cal., 591 U.S. 1, 30 (2020) (quoting Encino Motorcars, LLC v. Navarro, 579 U. S. 211, 222 (2016)). “It would be arbitrary and capricious to ignore such matters” Id. But this is exactly what Defendants did when they inexplicably and fundamentally switched their position on stabilizing braces without providing sufficient explanations and notice.

Under the Final Rule, the ATF estimated about 99% of pistols with stabilizing braces would be reclassified as NFA rifles. The ATF contemporaneously issued approximately sixty adjudications pursuant to the Final Rule that reclassified different configurations of firearms with stabilizing braces as NFA rifles. The ATF provided no explanations for how the agency came to these classifications and there is no “meaningful clarity about what constitutes an impermissible stabilizing brace.” Mock, 75 F.4th at 585 (5th Cir. 2023). In fact, the Fifth Circuit “[could not] find a single given example of a pistol with a stabilizing brace that would constitute an NFA exempt braced pistol.” Id. at 575. Such “‘unexplained’ and ‘inconsistent’ positions” are arbitrary and capricious. R.J. Reynolds Vapor Co. v. FDA, 65 F.4th 182, 191 (5th Cir. 2023) (quoting Encino Motorcars, 579 U.S. at 222).

The Defendants’ [ATF] disregard for the principles of fair notice and consideration of reliance interests is further exacerbated by its failure to follow the APA’s procedural requirements for public notice and comment. As discussed above, Defendants failed to follow proper notice-and comment procedures because the Proposed Rule and the Final Rule differed in immense ways.

Essentially, the ATF pulled a “bait and switch” that if it were one of us, we’d end up in jail. How many of these evil government agents will suffer that consequence for this?

…Consequently, the Court finds that the Final Rule’s six factor test is so impermissibly vague that it “provides no meaningful clarity about what constitutes an impermissible stabilizing brace,” and, thus, that “it is nigh impossible for a regular citizen to determine what constitutes a braced pistol” that “requires NFA registration.” Id. at 584–85. Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED and Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED as to this issue.

So, all of the People of the Gun can now bring themselves “out of the closet” without fear of retribution (my non-lawyerly opinion), so it seems.

However, until folks in ANY agency who act in similar ways are forced to suffer a large consequence (big personal fines, jail time, money to the plaintiffs), this will continue across the government spectrum. Until TEETH are added into the mix with which to punish the guilty within government, we are subject to Tyranny.

Aaron Day Show – ETH Gate: Real or Fiction

Has SCOTUS finally Gone Too Far?

Fri, 2024-06-21 22:00 +0000

Apparently, Louisiana has a new law that requires a copy of the Ten Commandments to be prominently displayed in each public school classroom in the state.

You might be thinking:  Hasn’t the US Supreme Court already ruled that this kind of thing is blatantly unconstitutional?

Of course, it has.  But you could say the same thing about the anti-gun laws that are being passed post-Bruen in states like New York, Illinois, and Hawaii. In fact, not too long ago, the Hawaii Supreme Court came right out and said what other states seem to be thinking:  They regard SCOTUS decisions as advisory rather than binding.

I’m not a big fan of putting religion in classrooms or taking guns away from citizens, but overall, I’m encouraged by this trend. It means that people may finally be figuring out that it is not, as John Marshall claimed back in 1803, ‘the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.’

For centuries, SCOTUS has — through a series of judicial opinions that are increasingly at odds with the plain words of the written Constitution — practically dared the states to start ignoring those decisions.  For a while now, I’ve wondered if it was even possible for the Court to go too far, and I’ve worried that it wasn’t.

But apparently it is.  I hope it’s not too late for the Court to go back to treating the document as something designed to be understood by fifth-graders rather than what it has become.  In Jefferson’s words: ‘A mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.’

You know, to go back to accepting that shall not doesn’t mean may sometimes.  That when limits on a right are not stated, they don’t exist.  That kind of thing.

As a good first step, we could require ISO 9000 training for judges.

Has the Democrat Party Lost its Mandate to Exist?

Fri, 2024-06-21 20:00 +0000

The US Democrat Party was founded in 1828 by Martin Van Buren and was pivotal in electing Andrew Jackson, a former member of the US Army and Congressman.

Today, the US Democrat Party has lost its mandate to exist as a political party in the United States of America.

This party has proven itself to be a party of liars, thieves, hoaxers, criminals, and amoral bigots, among others.

This party has been thoroughly taken over by foreign-controlled forces in its devious alliance with the globalists of the Communist International and the World Economic Forum.

This party has spent decades perpetuating racial and ideological strife where none should exist.

This party has prevented real civilizational progress in the USA for generations.

This party has effected the largest event of mass murder in over fifty years— the COVID project linked with the globalist/communist Agenda 21.

This party has supported and disseminated misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation intended to turn back the clock on political progress in the USA, specifically by embracing extremist racial ideologies in support of segregation and discrimination by race.

This party has engaged in extremist racial discrimination that has resulted in thousands of deaths of morally upstanding US citizens.

This party has created and forced widespread election fraud on the US citizenry in order to install a demented president as a puppet leader.

This party has undermined the US election system in ways that are severely compromising US national security.

This party has created an agenda based on transhumanist philosophies associated with the World Economic Forum and Communist International that have forced young children— US citizens— to believe that it is proper and correct to self-castrate and attempt to change their birth sex, resulting in lower life expectancy and compromising reproductive capability.

This party has weaponized the District of Columbia political infrastructure to imprison thousands of peaceful protesters after a staged event at the US Capitol reminiscent of the Reichstag Fire executed by the Nazi Party circa 1940 in Berlin.

This party has continuously and unabashedly undermined and destroyed US law that serves as the foundational bedrock of civil society in the USA.

This party has conspired to imprison and harass a former US President on charges that are flimsy at best and are realistically simply make-believe.

This party has vigorously and consistently undermined true democracy, malevolently warping the very idea of democracy itself.

There are many more incidents that may serve as further justification for the end of the US Democrat Party.

And so, it is hereby proposed that the US Democrat Party be shut down and replaced by the Independent Party, to which the majority of US citizens claim to belong.

The Actual “New Hampshire Advantage” … State Rep “Doing Drag”

Fri, 2024-06-21 18:00 +0000

James Roesener is a State Representative who was elected in 2022 to represent Ward 8 of Concord. Perhaps you have never heard of Roesener, but her election was national news because she is an “out trans man.”

Let’s take a closer look at Roesener, bitter-clingers. When Israel began small-scale ground operations in Gaza (the full-scale invasion did not happen until October 27th), she posted in support of Hamas. Yeah, I know it says “Palestine,” but the military activity on October 13th involved small-scale raids against Hamas, so I would say the post must be interpreted as supporting Hamas, NOT civilian Palestinians.

And notice what’s on the wall, which apparently is Roesener’s place of work … “I MASTURBATE.” Gee, I wonder what they’re selling in that store (that was sarcasm, bitter-clingers). Here’s another look:

But there are more bitter clingers. Roesener, when she is not busy “transforming” America at the Statehouse, unwinds by performing in drag shows:

But not just any drag show. A drag show to fund “queer health care” … because in the dystopian world that Woke-Commies like Roesener live in you are simply a factor of your skin color, your sexual preference, etc., etc., etc..

Woke-Communism is the new “New Hampshire Advantage,” bitter-clingers. This State is “massed up” beyond repair. The name should be changed to mini-me-California.

Friday Meme Overflow

Fri, 2024-06-21 16:00 +0000

To all those who are sending in memes, thank you!  Many, many good ones!  Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!

Speaking of, from this week, the Monday Edition.  Don’t forget Steve’s nobly carrying Wednesday, and again, thank you for that Steve!  B”H I land a job soon, and can turn my attention back to that rather than hours and hours and hours of applying, networking, etc.

My last non-meme post:

The Kano Model of Civilization

 

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

 

 

Distress!

 

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

 

 

 

There are those who still think he’s doing a fine job.  FFS.

 

 

 

Two opposing things cannot be true simultaneously.

 

 

 

Do it.  DO IT!

No, I don’t like it, but they opened the door and if we’re “too noble” to walk through it, we’re ceding the field again.  This is a no-holds-barred bar brawl for the future of humanity and liberty – globally.  If we don’t get that, and aren’t willing to fight for it including holding these SOBs accountable, then may Hashem curse us for eternity for our cowardice.  Not just our cowardice for ourselves, but the betrayal of our posterity.

 

 

 

Conspiring to evade FOIA requests.  Isn’t that a felony?

 

 

My thought: “I like President Biden; I think he’s compassionate and doing a great job”!

 

 

 

Every time I went to Israel, I was struck by how green it really is – especially in comparison to many of the surrounding countries.  Last time we were there we planted some carob tree saplings.  Really rocky soil, but apparently they have this drip-irrigation system that puts water drops right at the roots so the trees have earth (even if with a lot of rock) and a steady stream of water to get going.

 

 

 

 

 

A little stale, and I may have mentioned it before… but imagine if they did this somehow?  If that happens, I think it’s time:

 

 

The above cartoon debuted here – some preamble essay.

 

 

 

 

 

That’s SLOWLY SLOWLY.  The analogy of the frog in the pot.  People don’t notice slow changes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Something changed.  I wonder what it could be.  Remember that the Jabs started a year-or-so after Covid was announced.

 

 

 

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

 

 

A failure of the daughter, to be sure… but also the parents.  I would be hard-pressed to wrap my mind around my daughter, once she grows up fully, doing this.

On a business trip oh, perhaps, 15 years ago I found myself sitting next to a woman who was a phone sex operator.  She freely admitted that she made north of 150K per year from talking dirty to men on the phone.  Holy carp!  But I wonder if she told her parents…

Speaking of women in today’s modern culture:

 

 

Real wife material women, there.  No matter how good / rich / etc. the man is, they’ll be combing through their memory and comparing the man to others, whether in hook-ups or dating, and entitled enough to think that if they just keep looking, they’ll find someone who maxes out on all their categories.  Comparing ability in bed, comparing wealth, comparing comparing comparing… and addicted to the rush of the thrill of the new that comes with so many different partners.

 

 

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

 

PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA

 

 

 

The issue is not that corrupt people do with corrupt things.  That’s a given.  No, the issue that highlights the systemic, even societal corruption is that so many gloss over it as nothing to be worried about.  Examples of that corruption:

The entire system is rotten to the core.  Ethics and honor and loyalty to country are gone.  The fish is rotting from the head.  Hard times imminent.

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In their own words.  And in their own words they talk about conquering the West and then the world.  Have the moral courage to take them at their word.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s an interesting cycle which, now that I’ve ready it, makes sense in terms of what’s observed.

 

 

Related is this, from when Israel was reborn:

 

 

Arabs invading… where again?

 

 

I’ve asked at the grocery store about this crap.  Apparently virtually nobody buys it.  And ok, ok, I used to like Morning Star Farms soy sausage… was actually looking for them the other day as a nostalgia treat… but this is a step past that.

 

 

 

The average voter will, I fear, still say “I trust CNN”, etc.

 

 

 

 

My direct male-line ancestor was with Washington crossing the Delaware.

 

 

 

 

The more I learn about this, the more I’m thinking that gallows are not enough.

 

 

There’s a woman I know (well, virtually know), had multiple partners, and is still active in the casual-contact *ahem* department, who doesn’t insist her partner use a condom but expects him to pull out.  FFS.

And there’s the STD issue as well.

 

 

 

 

 

This is an idea that, hopefully, goes viral.

I would, actually, favor making all ownership of US land by foreign entities – at the least – very difficult to get.

Awkward Chat With Your Doctor Could Save Thousands Of Dollars (thefederalist.com)

Being insulated from the cost gets people to not think about costs.  And the necessity of liability base-covering by medical providers also factors in.  Plus, as discussed in the last meme post in the LINKS section, the profiteering by hospitals and the medical industrial complex frightens enormously.

How Bad is Biden’s ‘Extreme Pressure’ on Israel? (jihadwatch.org)

Very bad.  And if someone attempted to do that to the US, we’d – rightfully – scream.  Double standard.

The Left hates hates hates Israel.

Remember what I keep saying, though: Israel, and any other nation dependent on the US, needs to wean itself off that aid.

Head of Chicago Teachers Union Tells Radio Host Conservatives Do Not Want Black Children to Read, It’s “Part of the Oath They Take to be Right Wing” | The Gateway Pundit | by Margaret Flavin

The absolute irony of this – it is the LEFT that doesn’t want to educate blacks and other minorities.  For example, I’ve watched several of these “reaction” videos of black people seeing a discussion of Thomas Sowell’s writings on slavery.

Remember, control the information flow, control what people believe.  Also, addict people to “free” money and you create lever pullers.

Interesting speculation.  And if this happens, expect a lot of libs to be salivating at the chance to “right the ‘wrong’ of 2016”.

Simpsonwood Documents • Children’s Health Defense (childrenshealthdefense.org)

Link to PDF embedded.  I have not read the PDF but if I understand correctly, this is the emergency conference in which they realized there was an “ironclad” (from RFK Jr describing it) link between vaccines and autism… and then ignored it to press forward with more vaccines.  And now a stream of related memes.

From here:

Hep B is a mandated childhood vaccine. Despite it not being a threat to children (bloodborne illness, typically transmitted by sex workers or drug users), not dangerous for children (“recover completely and do not develop chronic infection”), and was not adequately tested on babies (which is when it is typically administered).

Why is it that all mandated childhood vaccines follow the same formula: inadequately tested and administered for a disease that is not dangerous? Could it be because it’s about profit and not public health?

And then from their next post:

Tetanus: another vaccine that is inadequately safety tested. And this one doesn’t stop transmission NOR DOES IT CREATE ANY IMMUNITY TO TETANUS.

Why would this be mandated for all NH school children?

Here Are The “Vegas Odds” On The Presidential Election Five Months Out

Fri, 2024-06-21 14:00 +0000

The Polling Industry has started to go into fourth gear as Nov 5th is fast approaching. Some want good results. Others, mostly commissioned by the Mainstream Media, are in fealty to the totalitarian Democrat Party (really, Biden is as sharp as a tack, you say?).

Then, there are those from the Political Activist Class (yes, I’m late to this party this time) who are already double-clutching up the gears. And then there’s this—actual betting on political races.

I just rediscovered RealClearPolling’s betting aggregation site: Betting Odds – 2024 U.S. President. People who have self-selected themselves and are using their own money are making their choices known.

The operative phrase is “self-selected.”

Add to that, regardless of their political interest, the phrase “self-interest.” People who are willing to throw their money at someone are called campaign donors. Instead, these bettors are looking for a return on their investment. They want to earn money on this “national transaction of 50 States’ Electoral College decisions.”

It is still 5 months out, and next month could be completely different, but one thing is sure. If these trends continue, the Dems are going to have the sads worse than when they learned that Trump had beaten Hillary (who is still an Election Denier over it all).
