Manchester, N.H.
Dear Merrimack County Attorney Paul Halvorsen, with Youth Detention Center civil and criminal cases on the horizon consuming over $100 million in public funds in addition to the costs of court time and resources in both criminal and civil procedures, I urge you to serve the public interest and investigate the concerns I presented to you last year.
My concerns are about fraud by members of the Merrimack County District Attorney’s Office upon Merrimack County Superior Court.
Also, regarding former Attorney General Michael Delaney, who is one of several attorneys general under whose leadership, youth detention center victims were ignored. They also concern the NHCADSV who are involved in criminal and civil procedures.
There is a pattern of legitimate concerns being ignored by the Attorney General’s office: FRM Ponzi scheme complaints being a prime example.
There is a pattern of legitimate concerns being ignored about the NHCADSV and their conflicts of interest. When a member of the NHCADSV is also on the City of Concord Council serving as Chair of the Public Safety Committee and on the Rules Committee, questions on self-serving by members of the City of Concord Council with the help of Merrimack County District Attorney’s Office should not be ignored.
We want to thank Claire Best for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.

You were on the City of Concord Council, and you were a juvenile prosecutor. As such, you would also have been involved in prosecuting children and sending them into facilities that were torturous environments endangering children. Many of those children came out of the state youth detention center facilities only to become adult criminals or labeled as criminals. They are now in the state’s prisons and jails.
If fraud upon the courts didn’t exist, would these children have been subjected to such abuse, and would they have become adult criminals? Are your court personnel criminals who create criminals of citizens by leading dishonest criminal procedures due to the economic benefits for Merrimack County?
I wrote to your office seeking an investigation and answers in response to New Hampshire State Witness/Complainant Chessy Prout’s letter to United States Senator Dick Durbin of the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding former NH AG Michael Delaney in his capacity as legal counsel for St Paul’s School during the criminal trial of State v Owen Labrie which took place in Merrimack County Superior Court. This is the court that serves as the criminal trial court for the Capitol of New Hampshire: Concord. Concord serves as the home to the populations of several state and private schools. Its public agencies interact with the populations of these schools. Those public agencies also interact with the Merrimack County District Attorney’s Office and Merrimack County Superior Court. If dishonesty on the City of Concord Council is protected, dishonesty of police officers for Concord and Merrimack County protected and dishonesty in your own office protected then what is the public service your office provides?
Michael Delaney withdrew his application for consideration on the First Circuit of Appeals following the statements made by Chessy Prout to the US Senate Judiciary Committee and the answers he submitted on the questionnaire supplied by the Committee. He is still a member of the NH Bar.
Chessy Prout stated that prosecutor Catherine Ruffle was informed by Amanda Grady Sexton (of the City of Concord Public Safety & Rules Committees, Governors’ Commission on Domestic & Sexual Violence & Stalking, NHCADSV, Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s Re-election Campaign Committee) of Michael Delaney tampering with state witnesses in the presence of Sandra Mathieson from the Office of Victim/Witness Assistance.
Sandra Mathieson wrote one of the endorsements for Michael Delaney for the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
Chessy Prout stated that prosecutor Catherine Ruffle allowed these tampered state witnesses to testify. Trial records confirm this. They also confirm that Ruffle and her cohort Joseph Cherniske blocked the cross-examination of one of these witnesses, who was the son of Governor Maggie Hassan’s legal counsel, Lucy Hodder Esq.
Lucy Hodder was also on St Paul’s School Board of Trustees and, therefore, a client of Michael Delaney, who was legal counsel for the school. Lucy Hodder had evaded deposition by being out of the country, according to ihavetherighttobook.com . Lucy Hodder had also worked in the AG’s office – possibly at the same time as Michael Delaney and Jim Rosenberg, who was legal counsel for her son Andrew Thomson. Jim Rosenberg is currently a partner at Shaheen & Gordon which is legal counsel to Amanda Grady Sexton and the NHCADSV. David Vicinanzo is also legal counsel to the NHCADSV. He requested the $100 million and is representing victims of YDC abuse who were referred to the NHCADSV by AG Gordon MacDonald. Gordon MacDonald had ordered a Grand Jury Criminal Investigation into St Paul’s School but dismissed plaintiffs of YDC abuse as “victim negligence.” David Vicinanzo receives 30-40% of each settlement for his clients claiming YDC abuse. Records show that the NHCADSV also receives a percentage of civil settlements. Yet these kickbacks do not go back into the public purse despite the fact that the NHCADSV’s budget is paid for by the public and approved by the Governor.
According to records that were unsealed several months after the trial of State v Owen Labrie, Prosecutor Catherine Ruffle admitted to Judge Larry Smukler that a deal had been made with Lucy Hodder’s son – Andrew Thomson. She retracted that statement when the records became public. Members of the NH Bar including you, have failed to investigate what appears to be serious fraud upon the court. You have a duty to the public because you are an elected official. Additionally, you have a duty to the integrity of your profession and, I believe, the National Association of District Attorneys.
Catherine Ruffle is now the Clerk of Merrimack County Superior Court. She has access to every record coming into and out of the court. If she allowed state witnesses to testify in a criminal trial after she had been informed that they had been tampered with and if she told the judge that she knew of a deal for one of these but then allowed that witness to testify, what are the standards of your court? What should the public, jury, complainants, witnesses, and defendants expect in your court?
Catherine Ruffle and her co-hort, Joseph Cherniske, reported to your predecessor, Scott Murray. Scott Murray became a US Attorney for New Hampshire and is now a Federal Prosecutor for New Hampshire. The only trial on his bio as US Attorney is State v Owen Labrie – “a victory for victims’ rights”. If the trial was so important to him and there are allegations of witness tampering in it by a former Attorney General, the implications are serious and they have consequences for other trials in your court and every other court in New Hampshire.
Thus:
Why has there been no investigation into Catherine Ruffle, Amanda Grady Sexton, or Michael Delaney?
Does the Merrimack County District Attorney’s office abide by the rules laid out by the National District Attorneys Association and National Prosecution Standards? If not, please explain to everyone copied on this letter so that all journalists are aware of the standards followed by New Hampshire District Attorneys.
What rules do you follow in Merrimack County Superior Court? What rules do you and current council members follow on the board of the City of Concord Council?
Whether or not the YDC criminal cases will be tried in Merrimack County Superior Court under the jurisdiction of other District Attorneys’ courts in New Hampshire, the public, plaintiffs, and jury must have answers. As an elected official, do you think the public will pay $100 million plus for a system of Kangaroo Courts? It is a yes or no answer, and an answer is due. It does not depend on the circumstances.
Please answer the question.
Amanda Grady Sexton is Chair of the City of Concord Public Safety Committee and on the Rules Committee. The budget for Concord Police investigations and payments to witnesses is approved by the City of Concord Council. You were a member of the City of Concord Council. Endorsements for you included your ability to budget. Does the City of Concord and Merrimack County Superior Court rely on Kangaroo procedures for City or State budget goals?
If State Witness Chessy Prout’s statements to the US Senate Judiciary Committee regarding witness tampering in a criminal trial are correct, then it is your duty to investigate and to act accordingly, including prosecution. Witness tampering is a federal crime.
If State Witness Chessy Prout’s statements to the US Senate Judiciary Committee regarding witness tampering in a criminal trial are not correct then I believe it is also your duty to investigate a witness the State had relied upon for prosecution that was tied to millions of dollars in federal grants for the State of New Hampshire from federal agencies, Government contracts, changes in laws.
Millions were made in civil suits following State v Owen Labrie (relying on testimony in the trial). These suits benefitted the very same attorneys and NHCADSV, who are now set to benefit from settlements for plaintiffs in the YDC Cases, including Chuck Douglas, David Vicinanzo, Shaheen & Gordon, and the NHCADSV.
1-1.6 Duty to Respond to Misconduct
A prosecutor is obligated to respond to professional misconduct that has, will, or has the potential to interfere with theproper administration of justice:
a. Where the prosecutor knows that another person associated with the prosecutor’s office has engaged, or intends to engage in professional misconduct that could interfere with the proper administration of justice, the prosecutor should address the matter in accordance with internal office procedures.
b.If the office lacks adequate internal procedures to address allegations of professional misconduct, a prosecutor who learns of the misconduct may,in the first instance,request that the person desist from engaging in the misconduct.If such a request is, or is likely to be, futileor if the misconduct is of a sufficiently serious nature, a prosecutor should report the misconduct to a higher authority within the prosecutor’s office.
c.If, despite a prosecutor’s best efforts, no action is taken in accordance with the prior procedures to remedy the misconduct, a prosecutor should report the misconduct to appropriate officials outside the prosecutor’s office(to the extent permitted by the law and rules of ethical conduct of the state).
d.A prosecutor’s failure to report known misconduct may itself constitute a violation of the prosecutor’s professional duties.
A timely response is appreciated. Thousands of people, several communities, and millions in public funds are affected.
I have been cyber-stalked by Amanda Grady Sexton and the NHCADSV. I have had my letter to the LEACT commission regarding the coercion of minors in criminal investigations intercepted, posted on social media in posts in which I was doxxed, and my family smeared. I have been threatened with a defamation suit by Shaheen & Gordon on behalf of the NHCADSV and Amanda Grady Sexton. I have been told that David Vicinanzo has said I just make things up, that I’m a liar.
I am not a liar. I am not going to be subjected to criminal defamation by one of the attorneys who will receive millions from YDC settlements or Amanda Grady Sexton and the NHCADSV, who I believe are also financial beneficiaries.
Just because I speak up about what appears to be an extremely serious racketeering enterprise that has defrauded the public and harmed lives does not excuse anyone for criminal defamation or witness intimidation who is involved in that enterprise. The receipts are all there, and District Attorneys who chose to turn a blind eye become complicit in the crimes as members of the Banking Commission did in the FRM Ponzi Scheme. Ironically, Michael Delaney also had a hand in that.
You are the District Attorney for the State Capitol’s Superior Court. You lead by way of example.

Republicans in the US House have become Energizer® Bunnies for censorship, pushing a Biden bipartisan bill to ban TikTok, which has more secrets than Pfizer vaccine trial results. The bill is alleged to include vague provisions that empower the government to ban just about anything online it decides is dangerous.
To them.
I’ve not had time to dig deep into that last claim, but there’s something else going on. According to Sen Rand Paul, who appears to have actually looked, only 20% of TikTok is owned by the two Chinese guys who created it. Another 20% is employee-owned (including at least 7,000 US employees), while international investors comprise 60%. The CEO isn’t Chinese, and you’d be right to wonder where all the communism is hiding, given we’ve got more communists on the average School Board than TikTok has in ownership.
They’ll have to censor that; we wouldn’t want anyone getting factccinated against another approved uniparty narrative, like the one that broke this week when the Statist National Beta Boys and Mean Girls Media Choir decided to sing; Trump is promising us a bloodbath. Russel Brand had a field day with that reporting (see the clip below) to which he included details of over 100 secret weapons sales by the Biden administration to Israel after October 7th.
I wonder what the government of Israel might be doing with those weapons Joe Biden secretly sold to them? Using them in Gaza perhaps, which Brand also notes, is something TikTok users have in common. There are folks on TikTok who do a bit of reporting and commentary about the goings-on in Gaza, with many supporting the residents. But that can’t be it. We’re looking for Chinese Communists in the TikTok bushes. The answer has to be to behave like the Chinese and ban and censor stuff!
Side note: Rand Paul mentions passing a 20% foreign investment threshold, which got me thinking that if that were true, we could ban Joe Biden.
Then there’s the thing in Ukraine, where there has been a good bit of blood spilled (enough for a bath) with the help of Joe Biden, who has asked for and sent tens of billions into the hands of weapons manufacturers whose tanks and their bombs, and their bombs and their guns, went from here to there.
The Afghanistan exit was something of a bloodbath by all accounts, as has been Biden’s open borders policy allowing drugs, gangs, criminaliens, and likely terrorists into the country.
In other words, why is almost everyone in the government so keen to silence a social media platform they don’t control instead of focusing on all of Joe Biden’s actual bloodbaths as they do on TikTok (answers itself, yes)?
Check this out (watch for the media faceplant at the end).

The Maine Legislature is helping to increase Mainers’ distrust and skepticism of their elected officials. The Democrats are using “placeholders” to hide the true intention of a bill and buy time to finalize the details of the legislation.
Take “An Act Regarding Health Care in the State,” filed earlier this year. The title seemed harmless enough until the actual details were released. The bill concerns abortion rights, but to this day, you cannot find the details on the State of Maine website. But you can get close if you examine the 620 pages of testimony generated by the committee.
It is a deceitful practice used by bill sponsors who know it will not be popular with the people to minimize interference from public activists who would descend upon the statehouse in protest.
Concept bills are sometimes filed without an outline and just a title. About 250 of these pesky concept bills have been submitted in 2024, which is 25% more than in 2023 and more than four times the number from 20 years ago, attracting bipartisan support to stop the practice of concept bills. Sen. Rick Bennet, R-Oxford, and Rep. Anne Perry, D-Calais, are both veteran legislators and are taking action to reform and stop the use of concept bills. They recognize these are being used to deceive the public, which should never be the goal of legislators. Concept Bills accounted for 11% of all bills introduced in 2024. That is double the number in 2015, and that is not a trend the Democrats should be proud of. House Speaker Rachel Talbot-Ross, D-Portland, defends the concept bills as invaluable tools. In a statement of pure Democrat word salad, she said these concept bills are essential and problematic.
Nicholas Jacobs, an assistant professor of government at Colby College, says using concept bills can make divisive ideas even more divisive. Rep Perry is finding out just how true the professor’s words are. Though Perry has voiced reservations about concept bills, she is using the practice with L.D 227, which would safeguard gender-affirming and abortion care from out-of-state laws, basically making Maine a sanctuary state for both services. The bill was filed as a concept bill, which may have avoided public interaction, but Perry had no issue seeking the help of Planned Parenthood to draft the legislation. Perry’s experience with L.D 227 has taught her a painful lesson, which has given her the impetus to be an advocate to eliminate the process.
It might be helpful to their cause if the Democrats were not so hypocritical on this subject. Sen Craig Hickman, D-Winthrop, agrees that granges are needed, but not before he uses the concept or placeholder bill to rewrite cannabis laws for Maine. These Democrats who acknowledge change is required recognize it will not happen for this session, so they are making the best of that and using the concept bill process to the max. This legislative session may be the most negatively transformative in Maine history. The question for the future will be when the Republicans regain power, and it will happen eventually, can they reverse many of these atrocious and radical bills, or is the damage to Maine permanent?

States that open the door to medically assisted dying on the argument that it is compassionate are being used to leverage empathy for the terminally ill to advance a completely different agenda.
Every progressive leap of this sort results in a trip down the same slippery slope, in some instances more quickly than others, toward a culture that encourages ending life to relieve itself of the burden of … people.
Imperfect children, depressed adults, long wait times for procedures, the homeless and economically challenged, mental health patients, those without enough insurance, drug and alcohol addiction, the list gets longer everywhere it gets a foothold. Every inch of mission creep increases the loss of the productive lives of people who are neither in chronic physical pain nor terminal.
I don’t mean to sound cruel or unsympathetic, but as I’ve said more than once, the question isn’t whether someone has the right to die if they want (as a sovereign individual, they must). The issue is government regulation that devolves into policies of deliberate depopulation for political convenience.
I have witnessed chronic pain in a terminal family member, and as horrible as that is, once open, this door never closes, and it leads inexorably to an incompetent and uncaring bureaucratic state that recommends (encourages) suicide for productive people rather than help or heal them. A state that may be in part responsible for the circumstances leading to this final diagnosis.
If you’d like to explore the slippery slope, I’ve assembled a list of content on the topic from the past few years in no particular order. Please take a moment to (at least) skim all the titles and click on a few to unpack what’s inside. I think you’ll find this not a path on which we should step, no matter how we think it will make us feel (or look) today.

I have been in court for over three years, arguing for transparency in Nashua’s public records. The experience has been profoundly disappointing. The courts are overburdened and under-resourced and often appear aligned with the city.
In a Right-to-Know hearing last May, Judge Colburn ruled that the claims regarding record requests to various Boards and Committees were “moot.” Her order was likely based on the City’s responses to the Judge’s inquiries about its record-keeping procedures. The city’s response was not wholly truthful, as can be demonstrated by its post-court inaction. Now that ten months have passed, an objective assessor would likely conclude that changes have been made to further restrict access to public reports.
Nashua has been embroiled in Right-to-Know litigation since 2020, and no court order has resulted in meaningful changes. Judges must put too much faith in Nashua’s attorneys to implement what they state in court. The result has been that pro se citizens continue to be treated as ‘Barbarians at the Gates’. Why are Nashua’s attorneys so willing to ignore both the RTK law’s intent and the Court’s urging to get their house in order? I suspect that the city attorneys know the judges will align with the city, and the court will do its utmost to accommodate the city. This might be a reasonable approach if the City were dealing in good faith and honoring their words stated in court. Yet, the City maintains its rigidity and fights change, understanding the Court is overburdened and unable to expedite these cases. It is nearly impossible for Citizens to win in a stacked and sluggish Court.
What is missing to correct records problems:
Attorney Rice provided common-sense input at the Nackey Loeb Sunshine Week Panel forum on March 11, 2024. She focused on the need for open communication between the departments and the citizens. She stated, “Emails are awkward,” and they are ineffective at getting to the records citizens seek. Nashua now operates only through emails, subjecting certain citizens to a more burdensome process. Further restrictions have been made to impede citizens from interacting with city officials.
Nashua attorneys appear to have a strategy to delay while playing the virtuous victim, playing the blame game, and marginalizing citizens rather than respecting the intent of the RTK law, acting as leaders, and instituting necessary improvements to curb litigation. Hence, lawsuits continue.
Citizens should not be blamed for this RTK litigation. The Court should examine the Nashua City Attorney’s behavior in the RTK cases. Also, might there be court process improvements to address maneuvers that impede timely resolution?

As I’ve been warning about, there is no real privacy protections anymore in our public schools. Even when they say that privacy protections are in place, don’t believe it. The federal law that is supposed to protect student privacy has exceptions which opens the door for tech vendors to amass all kinds of personal information on students.
The Manchester School District recently sent out a parent survey. As Jon DiPietro noted in an X post:
This is why it’s important to understand that your children’s personal information is not private, and you need to be extra cautious about what information you allow the school to collect.

A few days ago, we shared reporting on J6 Committee antics showing premeditation and bias: the Select Committee (Chair Thompson and Vice-Chair Cheney) hid or deleted files, testimony, or witness interviews. Recorded testimony and related transcripts were not archived with the House Clerk.
You have to be a particular sort of extra-special Republican to get away with that, especially after the made-for-TV show trial and cherry-picked anti-Trump invective, much of which was debunked in real-time and later wound up in Rep. Loudermilk’s investigation of the investigation report.
“Despite the driver of the president’s SUV testifying under oath that the (Cassidy) Hutchinson story was false, the select committee chose to validate and promote Hutchinson’s version of the story as fact, “they stated in the report.” The select committee hid the driver’s full testimony and only favorably mentioned his testimony in its final report, it did not release the full transcript.”
Between all the contradictions and all the evidence that was mishandled, lost, or destroyed by the “J6 investigators,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk has suggested criminal referrals for obstruction of Justice are possible, with former House Rep (no longer protected by House Rules) Liz Cheney at the top of the list.
(He) believes that Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the now-disbanded Jan. 6 select committee, allowed then-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to make decisions for the panel.
“There’s still documents that we need to get hold of. We still don’t have passwords for the encrypted documents,” Mr. Loudermilk said. “It’s amazing that you know, when I asked the former Chairman Bennie Thompson, ‘All I want you to do is give me the passwords.’ He said, ‘I don’t even know what you’re talking about.’
In proper uniparty fashion,
Ms. Cheney, who lost her Wyoming Republican primary by more than 40 percentage points, suggested on social media platform X that Mr. Loudermilk and others are lying and trying to “cover up what [President Trump] did” on Jan. 6. She also recently wrote that people should instead read her committee’s report.
Would that be the partisan report whose veracity cannot be verified without access to hidden or deleted testimony never filed with the House Clerk or evidence protected by passwords no one has? That report?
While Democrats control the White House, any referral to Justice will be slow-walked, stalled, or handled with kid gloves. No one in the Obama-Bush-Cheney alliance wants to besmirch their J6 narrative before November. Loudermilk probably knows this, so I wouldn’t expect any high-value target to get referred to Main Justice for anything.
If Trump wins, the win sticks and he survives to be sworn in, Cheney might not be so lucky.
Exit question: How many palettes of bricks will the DNC have delivered to the doorstep of every migrant shantytown, shelter, hotel, or motel around election time, one for each harvested ballot or more?

Most people are at least vaguely familiar with the story of the original Trojan Horse. According to legend, sometime around the 12th or 13th century BC, Greece and Troy were at war. The Greek army was unable to breach the defenses of the heavily fortified city of Troy, so it devised a plan. It decided to build an enormous wooden horse and left it outside the city, seemingly as a peace offering, a gift. Hidden inside the horse, though, was an elite group of Greek fighters, and after it was towed inside the city gates, the warriors emerged and destroyed the city.
The term “Trojan Horse” has come to mean anything that may appear innocuous, but is intended to cause harm. Today, most computer users associate the term with a type of computer virus – malicious software designed to spy on the user’s on-line activity, or to collect sensitive, personal information.
The wildly popular TikTok is offered free of charge – a gift with no apparent strings attached. As a social media platform allowing users to post short videos on line, it’s easy to understand its popularity. It gives users, mostly young people, hungry for attention and exposure, an opportunity to perform before an audience. Some of the video postings can be entertaining, funny, and even illuminating and informative. But they can also be deceptive, morally corrosive, and even dangerous – especially for young, impressionable minds. And like all Trojan Horse viruses, this app collects personal information on its users.
So how is that a threat to our national security? The problem is that TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company headquartered in Beijing and controlled by the Communist Chinese government, which ultimately controls the content.
Today, our president likes to call China a competitor. He wants us to believe that we’re engaged in some sort of a game with the CCP – something akin to horseshoes or lawn darts. But geopolitical experts tell us China is not a friendly competitor. It should be considered an adversary, or even an enemy. Anyone doubting that need only look at China’s routine theft of America’s intellectual property, its belligerence toward Taiwan, its territorial expansion in the South China Sea via those artificial islands, and its bloated military. They need only look at China’s treatment of the Uyghurs to understand that the CCP is a ruthless, oppressive government, bent on world domination.
And it doesn’t have to be accomplished militarily.
It would be foolhardy to offer America’s enemies intimate knowledge of our nation’s psyche, or to allow Communist China’s propaganda machine to mold the impressionable minds of young Americans. That’s why TikTok has been called a threat to national security.
And social media platforms aren’t the only means China has to infiltrate America. There are other ways it can exert its influence and eventually dominate our country.
It can try to take control of our energy resources or our food supplies. It can work to transform our strong and proud citizenry into a nation of passive, compliant drug addicts, by feeding us unlimited amounts of narcotics.
It’s all happening today under the watchful eye of Joe Biden. In fact, in many cases, Biden is doing more than allowing it to happen. He’s facilitating it.
It was Biden who depleted our Strategic Petroleum Reserves to alarmingly low levels, where they remain today. It was Biden who sold millions of gallons of that precious commodity to China, while at the same time relentlessly pushing green energy. That has increased our dependence on Chinese-manufactured solar cells and batteries. And it’s Biden who’s allowing the Chinese to buy-up millions of acres of our farmland, essential to the world’s food supply.
Perhaps Biden’s biggest favor to the CCP is his open border policy. There’s no evidence whatsoever to suggest that Biden’s 10 million “newcomers,” including 37,000 Chinese, have any intention of pledging allegiance to this country or even assimilating American values. But common sense and the law of averages tell us that a percentage of them are planning to do us harm.
And the fentanyl streaming across Biden’s open borders has already killed or incapacitated hundreds of thousands of our citizens. If it continues, it will lead to the utter decimation of a once-proud nation.
Then there’s the China spy balloon, which Biden allowed to meander across our countryside, sucking up national defense data. And the China Initiative that Biden abruptly cancelled. That program was designed to track China’s espionage activity in this country.
For the Chinese Communist Party, Joe Biden is the gift that keeps on giving.
Some attribute that to Biden’s incompetence and his obvious cognitive decline. Others believe the millions of dollars the CCP paid to his family may have something to do with it. Shamefully, still others close their eyes and pretend that none of it is happening.
If the efforts by Congress to sever China’s ties with TikTok succeeds, it will remove one obvious threat to our national security. Unfortunately, there is still Joe Biden.

What is Christian Nationalism, Exactly? This was the heading of an article by N.Y. Times writer David French. The article was a response to the new documentary entitled “God and Country”. Christian Nationalism is supposedly this belief that the “fate of the church is closely tied to the outcome of any political election.”
The Declaration of Independence said our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness come not from King George III but from our Creator. We were founded as a Judeo-Christian nation. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”—John Adams.
Do not buy into the newest iteration of the left’s imagined new threat, “Christian Nationalism.” It is Christians who are under attack.
Mr. French then goes on to connect the politically motivated dots by claiming this fervor of the gullible can lead to anything, including the stealing of an election. Ah, a second reference to the “orange man bad.” with reference to the January 6th, 2021 unarmed riot.

Silly me, I thought that the secular Marxists were our worry for their attack on Christianity. A teacher gets suspended for giving a student a bible. A football coach gets placed on leave for saying a prayer on the field at the end of a game. Evangelical colleges like Gordon College in Massachusetts and Kings College in New York have had their accreditation challenged.
Christian adoption agencies, hospitals, and crisis pregnancy centers have come under attack. School prayer and bible studies on school property is improper. And speaking of Rob Reiner, who is the real-life embodiment of his role of “Meathead” in “All in the Family, don’t you just love to be chastised by an atheist who quotes from the bible?
The Christian Nationalism bogeyman is another phony agenda of the Marxist-Democrat party. Destroy Christians and Jews, and you can shred the foundation of our Constitution. Apparently, a growing number of imposter Christians, described as “white Christian nationalists,” are threatening democracy and are behind the so-called January 6th “insurrection.” Balderdash! It was not an insurrection, Mr. Reiner. No wonder your documentary was a box office bomb. People are not that stupid.

You have likely heard the tale by now. A US Navy medic is alleged to have been silenced by superiors for leaking DOD health data, which begs a few interesting questions about how the government “managed” the health and safety of our “troops” over—we’ll just call it—the last few years.
Was it COVID, masking, the lack of certain preventatives, or an emphasis on a particular chemical intervention? It might have been Jill Biden’s fault, the war in Ukraine, something the millions of illegals carried over from the third world, food inflation, generational debt, or having to listen to Joe’s Hate of the Union Addresses.
Big mystery.
No, not really.
That the deaths and health injuries are anything but rare is evident from the report by a US Navy medic that Department of Defense data show that US Navy pilots have suffered a:
937% increase in heart failure
152% increase in cardiomyopathy
69% increase in ischemic heart disease
36% increase in hypertensive disease
63% increase in other forms of heart disease
There’s only one thing all of these “DOD” employees have in common, and it’s a problem for the weak-tea effort to soft-sell complications and uncommonness.
The corrupt US Department of Defense, a ramp for the excess profits of the armaments industry, tried to blame the events on the Covid virus itself. However, “according to information published by the US Army, 97% of active-duty U.S. troops are fully vaccinated, 90% of Army National Guard members are fully vaccinated, and 91% of U.S. Army Reserve members are fully vaccinated.”
So, if the “vaccine” did not cause the deaths and health injuries, and the virus was responsible, obviously the “vaccine” was totally ineffective in protecting against the virus.
And they are still pushing the Jab as safer than catching COVID.
