Question For Chuck And Kelly … Do You Support The NH-UniParty’s Push To Outlaw Single-Family Zoning?

Sat, 2024-04-06 18:00 +0000

It’s more than fifteen minutes after you drove home and finally you find a parking space in what once was your single-family zoned neighborhood. But the NH-UniParty outlawed single-family zoning in 2024, and your once picturesque, safe neighborhood is now an eyesore of “accessory dwelling units” crammed into what once was your neighbor’s front and backyards. And your neighbors are now mostly renters because once the UniParty outlawed single-family zoning BlackRock and the other “investment” firms swooped in and bought up as much of the neighborhood as they could.

It used to be easy to find a parking spot in front of your home. But the UniParty also outlawed minimum parking requirements. So lots that used to need one or two street parking spots are now taking six or eight. But finding parking is not the end of the ordeal. You have a 15 minute walk home ahead of you, in what once was a safe neighborhood but now is anything but that. Trash and graffiti have replaced impeccably maintained lawns and gardens. And there are also the dealers and the gangs and the street thugs.

This is the dystopia that Jo(k)e Sweeney and Ross Berry and other imposter-GOP want for New Hampshire. Kelly Ayotte claims that she is running for Governor in order to prevent Joyce Craig from “Massing up” New Hampshire. But what about Jo(k)e Sweeney and the other imposter-Republicans. Does Kelly support their jihad to outlaw single-family housing? She has NOT, to my knowledge, said one word in opposition to the NH-UniParty’s push to destroy the rural character of New Hampshire.

And where does Chuck stand on this issue? Does he share Jo(k)e Sweeney’s dream of turning New Hampshire into an endless sea of apartment complexes?

Maybe their wonderful surrogates could take a moment from telling us why their candidate is the true conservative to actually tell us something substantive? Not holding my breath.

If Burlington Thinks It Voted for Change, It is In for an Unpleasant Surprise!

Sat, 2024-04-06 16:00 +0000

Retiring Burlington, Vermont, Mayor Miro Weinberger is, by all sane accounts, left-wing, as was his anointed replacement Joan Shannon; in anywhere but Burlington, they are far-left Democrats. So when the city elected a “progressive” last week, well, guess what?

If you think you voted for change, you are in for a surprise. Progressive Party winner Emma Mulvaney-Stanak is basically a Marxist, with the Progressive Party carrying the social banner to the left of the likes of Weinberger and Shannon. What does that look like on the campaign trail? After years of denying Burlington had a growing issue with crime, the ‘Progressives’ ran on addressing the growing problem of crime. Related: Change in Burlington: Replace Male Marxist Mayor with Female Marxist Mayor

Burlington’s crime problem is the direct result of left-wing political priorities shared by everyone who ran for mayor. Weinberger (nor the city council) know how to fix it because their party priorities create more crime and chaos. It is beyond their ability to repair. Shannon is no different. Mulvaney-Stanak will likely pour accelerant on the fire that is this problem.

Crime in Burlington is bad. Mulvaney-Stanak, who likely won partly as a result of the illegal gang vote (non-citizens can vote in municipal elections and her opponent’s “failure to acknowledge Israel’s unpopular invasion of Gaza”), is less equipped to address it than Weinberger or Shannon and that’s not saying much.

Hint: providing safe spaces to shoot up (drugs) will not stop the immigrant gangs from shooting up Burlington.

You need more cops, but no one with the intellectual agility to be on can think for a moment that the progressive mayor or its more “conservative Democrat/Progressive City Council” will defend them the next time a viral video drops that allows for virtue signaling on a national level. The cops will be under the bus faster than you can say. Where’s the next microphone to opine about systemic racism in a system run by Democrats and progressives for decades (Bernie Sanders was elected Mayor of Burlington in 1982).

The only way Emma Mulvaney-Stanak will ever get crime under control is to do what actual socialists do in communist countries, but as far as Vermont has fallen, even they haven’t gone that far. This means things can only get worse with one possible exception. The crime problem the progressives ignored before they decided they could use it to win elected office, blaming it on slightly less socialist Democrats, might disappear again. Not the crime, just any actual acknowledgement of it or data showing the truth.

Property and violent crime will continue to grow. They just won’t talk about it. And that is a change you can believe in.

Our Libraries Queer Children

Sat, 2024-04-06 14:00 +0000

Publisher’s Weekly praises “Grandad’s Pride,” a children’s book for ages 4-8, available at local libraries, for how its “Bustling, bright-hued images with a rainbow motif” portrays various “gender expressions,” including men in bondage costumes with codpieces and a bearded woman with mastectomy scars.

Related: Nashua Library Doubles Down on Promoting Bondage to Kids

Even more troubling is an illustration featuring pink heart-shaped Lolita sunglasses, an allusion to the 1962 film about a man’s sexual relationship with his 14-year-old stepdaughter. Prominently displayed near the Lolita sunglasses is a Polaroid camera and a MAP, spelled out in capital letters, which happens to stand for “Minor Attracted Persons,” a euphemism for pedophiles.

Liberals greet requests to remove these books from the children’s section with cries of censorship. They claim that people who object to sexually explicit books are targeting LGBTQ+ individuals.

But there are no gay, queer, or transgender children, just girls and boys. By suggesting children can be born in the wrong bodies, libraries put children on the path to experimental medical treatments that will leave them permanently damaged. “Queer” is a nebulous word that justifies exposing children to any sexual behavior, including adult fetishes.

Libraries no longer serve patrons by choosing materials that reflect community interests and values. Instead, they bias their selection process to push their radical agenda. Censorship is built into their system. Since libraries choose books based on reviews from publications that align with their ideology, conservative books are unlikely to make the cut.

How did we get here? A 2017 American Library Journal article questions whether “it is still good enough to provide equal access, or if it is time to pursue an active equitable access that focuses on empowering the less powerful and amplifying the voices of the unheard.”

“Queering the library” is a top priority of American Library Association (ALA) President Emily Drabinski, who describes herself as  “a Marxist lesbian.” She’s also a proponent of queer theory. Like critical race theory, queer theory isn’t really a theory, but a political ideology that seeks to change power structures by promoting transgender and queer identities.

Our libraries assume that some children are born gay, transgender, and queer, and it’s their job to help girls and boys discover and explore their innate gender identities through drag queen story hours and books. For example, in “Red: A Crayon’s Story,” written for children ages 4-8  “A blue crayon is mistakenly labeled as red, and becomes much happier once he can be his true blue self.”

I’ve spoken to my local library trustees about the story “Jack, Not Jackie,” where a girl is relabeled as a boy and given a new name and pronouns because she hates frilly pink dresses, plays superhero, and splashes in the mud. It’s cruel to tell children that there’s a right way and a wrong way to be a girl or a boy.

In a recent Union Leader op-ed NH Democrat Reps Nicholas Germana, David Paige, and Angela Brennan assured us that none of the challenged books qualify as pornography or “remotely fit well-established definitions of obscenity.” But if illustrations depicting oral sex and passages about anal sex don’t qualify as pornography, then what does? This isn’t a slippery slope, it’s a free-fall.

There must be no limit to what little children should be exposed to, according to the ALA’s policy statement “Access to Library Resources and Services for Minors.” The ALA “opposes all attempts to restrict access to library services, materials, and facilities based on the age of library users. The policy insists that:

Children and young adults unquestionably possess First Amendment rights, including the right to receive information through the library in print, sound, imagery data, and social media.

Libraries won’t compromise with concerned parents, whom Drabinski describes as an “angry white mob.” The ALA’s book-challenge process is stacked. The guidelines state that the materials can’t be judged based on just one part, such as an explicit passage or illustration, and instruct the trustees to consider reviews from ALA-approved journals.

Things could get worse. New Hampshire House Bill 1311 would make it a crime to remove materials that promote sexual fetishes and gender ideology from school libraries, no matter how false or explicit.

Opposing such bills is important but inadequate. States and municipalities should follow the leads of Alabama, Wyoming, Missouri, Texas, and Florida, sever ties with the ALA, and join the World Library Association. Taxpayers should defund their libraries.

For those of us in Democrat-controlled cities, the best we can do is keep speaking up. Although the librarians and trustees won’t hear us, they deserve to be embarrassed. Many moms and dads will get the message and avoid an institution that confuses and indoctrinates children and sets them on the path to irreversible medical harm.

New Study Confirms that If You Leave Gender Confused Kids Alone … They Grow Out of It

Sat, 2024-04-06 12:00 +0000

If the Trans-Cult didn’t have bad luck this year, it’d have no luck at all. Those who profit financially or ideologically from confusing young kids and getting them on hormone blockers as soon as possible keep getting kicked in the rhetorical head.

From the UK to France, the WPATH Files to Pediatrician Organizations, 2024 has been rough for the Trans-Cult, and the Netherlands just piled on.

The majority of gender-confused children grow out of that feeling by the time they are fully grown adults, according to a long-term study.

Researchers in the Netherlands tracked more than 2,700 children from age 11 to their mid-twenties, asking them every three years of feelings about their gender. But by age 25, just one-in-25 (4 percent) said they ‘often’ or ‘sometimes’ were discontent with their gender.

The researchers concluded: ‘The results of the current study might help adolescents to realize that it is normal to have some doubts about one’s identity and one’s gender identity during this age period and that this is also relatively common.’

It has been known for a very long time that just like dinosaurs or space, kids who wondered a bit about their sexuality before they understood anything about it grew out of it. It was a phase. It is a curious “finding yourself” moment that, for a super-majority of children, fades away, after which they feel both comfortable, safe, and happy in their “birth” bodies.

The gender cult ignored that, but this new research is a problem for anyone pushing hormone blockers on minors. They are dangerous, can lead to cancer, and are deadly. But they are the prerequisite to genital mutilation surgery, a rising flow of cash advocates will not want to abandon. But if most kids grow out of it, if ust leave them alone, what now?

Thanks to these Netherlands researchers, the question now is: should doctors be required to inform parents of potentially transgender kids about this study, especially when talking about invasive interventions like puberty blockers and surgeries?

I’m picturing a construction paper display on a class or hallway bulletin board. It’s got colors, pictures, data, and bits of research; wondering about gender is normal, and almost everyone grows out of it. You don’t need to take (hormone) drugs for the rest of your life or suffer the discomfort of surgery you will very likely later regret. Maybe a few quotes from doctors about how there’s no proof the treatments help and the risks like cancer or death.

No, we won’t be seeing that, but how about this? Legislators, school boards, parents, and others can ask why states like New Hampshire prohibit therapists and other kids look to for advice from daring to suggest they will gro out of it. It’s not conversion therapy. It’s… therapy. Doctors, therapists, counselors, and even teachers should be required not just to tell parents that their kids are expressing some gender dysphoria but that, based on “new” research, if they are supportive, they may (will probably) grow out of it.

Do you know what else would help? Stop with the 24/7/365 gender-cult recruitment dogma. If most kids grow out of it, the constant attention it gets is doing more harm than good, assuming this is actually about mental health and healthy kids.

Given all the revelations in recent months, more Lawsuits seem likely.

He’s Back … Will GOP Voters Hand An Executive Council Seat To The Democrats?

Sat, 2024-04-06 10:00 +0000

Ted Gatsas had barely turned his horse and begun to ride off into the sunset when … LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! EVERYBODY LOOK AT ME!!! perpetual candidate and perpetual general-election loser Robert Burns politi-bombed the scene. The question now becomes will GOP voters in Gatsas’ Executive Council District hand the seat to the Democrats by nominating the clearly unelectable Burns.

The NHGOP is NOT going to win elections by nominating the same candidates who have been rejected by the voters over and over and over again. This is NOT Joe Kenney’s District One. This is the Executive Council District that repeatedly elected Chris Pappas (2013 – 2019).

So the choice, bitter-clingers, is whether you want to win the general election, which requires nominating a new candidate … one who the voters have NOT repeatedly rejected… or whether you want to be represented by a Democrat.

And, dear bitter-clingers, I am NOT telling you what to do. I’m just telling you the consequences. Do what you wish. Believe what you wish.

Night Cap: The Eclipse of Common Sense

Sat, 2024-04-06 02:00 +0000

A few days from now, beheaded mythical creatures, absent a body, will swallow the Sun only to have it reappear shortly after. Roughly three minutes, give or take.

In some ancient cultures, a dragon (puma, bear, or wolf) swallows the Sun, relenting only after the people whose myth it is perform a preordained rite or ritual.

One source cited a Choctaw legend in which a black squirrel (Funi Lusa) gnaws on the Sun.

And it is not just in what passes for modern America that you are told not to look directly at the Sun. Navajo elders have long advised against it. Instead, put a hole in a piece of paper or a paper plate and look at the dot of light it projects onto another surface to watch the moon’s shadow advance over good old Sol (until it is actually safe to look up at the eclipse). Okay, that was my 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Hoag.

These stories exist from every culture (dragons and bears, not paper plates), and like most mythology, they share similar threads tied to common beliefs that manifest in different forms. People, wherever they may be, whatever environmental, social, or other factors, are still people. But my favorite solar eclipse lore is less mythological and more practical. It is attributed to Transylvania, in which the angry Sun turns away and covers herself with darkness in response to men’s bad behavior. 

Congress is full of them, including men in the general sense of mankind, which includes women’s bad behavior—their idolatry of the cause at the expense of common sense but with a common purpose: to centralize decision-making inside the 61.4 square miles of Washington, DC. A much smaller part of that, to be sure. An object, tiny compared to the heaving masses of a nation but capable of blocking out all of their light.

We must do something about that, you and I, and it is not a topic new to these pages. Changes must be made, and we can’t expect much from the heart of darkness 493 miles from Concord, New Hampshire (or whatever driving distance separates your state capital from Congress). The Federal government is powerless against the states if they are themselves not committed to their own sovereignty and protecting that of their people. That is why they exist.

We’ve had a saying around these parts for a while: Screw DC, Save New Hampshire. It sounds good, and while we have made small strides, Republicans continue to prove themselves lighter versions of Democrats instead of stalwart defenders of those who elevated them to state office. New Hampshire keeps taking federal money and then lying about obligations to their sugar DC daddy. They are whoring us out, and not just us but our children and grandchildren.

Not the national debt, though that is the voting rights issue of our time. Millions yet born slaved to a generation of spending that burdened them without a voice. Not that. I’m referring to the obligations created by state budgets filled with DC money backed by that federal debt. When the feds fail, and at this rate, they inevitably will, all that “free” money stops. If you’ve created a society in which promises cannot be kept unless you now tax the crap out of the locals, you were never all that low tax to begin with.

Will we shout until the Sun emerges from behind that dark object of deception so that the false vision is burned out by the rays of truth? I know it’s a bit heavy on the metaphor, but as candidates campaign for governor, we should consider asking how they plan to protect us from that disaster and if it has ever occurred to them.

And not just how we stop racing toward more dependency but how we claw some of our independence back.

Fetterman Can Become A Serious Leader

Sat, 2024-04-06 00:00 +0000

Sometimes, heroes arise in the most unlikely manner. Who could have predicted that Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) would become the voice of reason in the Democrat ranks and show support for the Republican Immigration bill, HR-2, that has been locked in Chuck Schumer’s desk since it passed the House on May 13, 2023.

Though he is not ready to sign off on the totality of the House bill, he calls the bill a solid framework to achieve the secure border that Donald Trump gave to Joe Biden in 2021. Republicans need to work with Fetterman to grow support for HR-2 in the Senate, force Majority Leader Schumer to do his job, and put the bill on the floor for debate and a vote.

Conservatives were appalled in 2020 when the Democrat Party allowed stroke victim Fetterman to remain on the ballot against Republican candidate Dr. Oz. The voters of Pennsylvania chose Fetterman to represent them in the Senate, but they also re-elected Representative Anthony DeLuca, even though he had died a month before the election. We all thought that the Key State voters had lost their collective minds. To his credit, Fetterman has overcome the effects of his stroke and a lengthy battle with debilitating depression. Against all odds, Fetterman has become a voice of centrist reason in Congress.

Fetterman’s support for HR-2, which he qualified with some exceptions, drew praise from hardline Republican Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX). Todd Pergram of FOX News spoke to Roy, who said, “The new and improved Fetterman can wear whatever he wants, if he keeps talking like that… I’m glad to see him talking about ‘hey, there’s some provisions in HR 2 that would actually do the job.'” Roy’s praise referred to the longstanding criticism of Fetterman by Republicans over the Senator regularly wearing shorts and a hoodie.

Fetterman is a big man with a growing presence in Washington. The reason for that new popularity is the Senator is a counter to the Radical Left that has been loud and center stage for eight years. The WOKE Radical Left may finally be losing traction. Whether the Transgender issue or the support of Hamas and the Palestinians that pushed too far, there are signs the support is waning or ambivalence is setting in. Neither of these scenarios is good news for the Democrats.

Fetterman is on board with working with Republicans to secure the border. This thinking is at a time when bipartisan is a word that might be cut from most dictionaries. He also has been very vocal about removing corrupt Senator Bob Melendez, who is under investigation for the same laws that Joe Biden is guilty of violating. He is also an avid supporter of Israel and condemns the Radical Squad members for turning their backs on Israel. This is all excellent news for Republicans but alarming for Democrats. If members of Congress start moving back towards the center, Joe Biden will have a decision to make. Does he stick with the Left and roll the dice on the election, or does he grab onto that big man from Pennsylvania and get a free ride to the mainstream middle?

The Case for Nurse Terese (for Executive Council).

Fri, 2024-04-05 22:00 +0000

Sometimes, I choose a title, and that’s how it’s published. Sometimes, management alters it at its discretion. Sometimes, I submit a piece and call it “untitled,” thus letting the editor finish the job for me. There are a variety of reasons and one of them has to do with the enjoyment of pretending I’m Howie Carr or Ed Mosca, but today’s literary inspiration is Victor Davis Hanson.

That’s why I’m calling this article “The Case for Nurse Terese,” so let’s get started, shall we?

The CASE

I’m not here to discuss the not-so-recently dropped criminal charges against her and her codefendants but the case for why she should be the one to replace retiring Executive Councilor Ted Gatsas, who made his announcement yesterday.  But first, I feel the urge to point out the similarity between the opening up of seats belonging to Annie Kuster and Ted Gatsas. Readers might ask why I would compare a Concord office to a federal office, one branch of government to another, or two elected officials from opposing parties, but the answer has to do with the 10 Water Street brass.

The removal of Annie Kuster was never on Chris Ager’s to-do list; hence his lack of interest in 50% of NH being properly served in Washington. You can read more in my recent article promoting support for early bird entrant Lily Tang Williams here and please donate if you haven’t done so already.  “And just like that,” with a picture of Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, there was 10 Water Street interest in recruiting some primary congressional candidates after Annie announced her retirement last Wednesday.

Similar to General Bolduc and Lily, Terese has been planning her candidacy right along, though, without much glamorous fanfare.  She’s been an outspoken critic of Ted Gatsas and his need to be primaried.  She walked the walk in addition to talking the talk as she did, in fact, primary him in the last election and received a good chunk of the votes. I don’t have numbers, but anyone interested in them is encouraged to visit Sec. of State Scanlan’s office. She also ran her 2022 race with little to no resources (funds, name recognition, and perks that private citizens don’t have at their disposal). Consider 2022 a practice run for Terese.

Switching from Tom Hanks to Bill Murray, it’s like Groundhog Day all over again at 10 Water Street because there is a sudden interest in Ted Gatsas’ seat, and it includes some household names.  Filing time is two months from now, so anything could happen, and the playing field for the primary could get crowded.  In an effort to keep things short here, I won’t get into attacking other candidates at this time because there will be plenty of opportunities to do that in follow-up articles.

However, there’s one exception, but only if it’s even considered an attack, and that’s Ryan Terrell, and only because he didn’t waste any time throwing his hat in the ring.  I would even surmise that the seat wasn’t even on his radar and perhaps Chris Ager, Stepanek, or one of their henchmen recruited him. Anyone interested in verifying that is encouraged to do so and report back.

Ryan, who is presently the GOP vice chair, is formerly of Nashua. Living in Clock Tower at the time when Comrade Andru Volinsky called him a token and arranged for the blocking of his Board of Education nomination made him eligible to run for state rep in Nashua’s famous Ward 4.  Ryan received lots of big-name establishment endorsements, and locals (myself included) were rooting for him as he was fundraising and campaigning whether or not they voted in Ward 4.  Ward 1’s Tom Lanzara was the only decent Nashua rep candidate that made it across the finish line, but Ryan since got renominated and approved (presumably 4-1 with Warmington dissenting) to the original appointment.

Please email the EC secretary, Meagan Rose, if you care to look into that vote.

I didn’t see or hear much from Ryan in the months and years following his taking office, but in all fairness, I had left Facebook and wasn’t an education watchdog or activist regularly trying to make contact with him.  What I later learned, perhaps as recently as last year, is that Ryan moved from Nashua to Lee.  What I also learned during the Dover “school library lewdness crisis” is that the Board of Education has five districts.  Though I haven’t done my due diligence, it stands to reason that BoE districting is like that of the Executive Council, and Ryan has been, therefore, representing Nashua (aka Wheeler’s EC district in the BoE) from Lee(Gatsas’s EC district in the BoE).

Let it be known that I don’t know exactly when Ryan moved or how soon a notice of moving is required. Keep in mind that in other government bodies, such as the House, failure to report a move outside the district being elected to serve is a problem. Look up Troy Merner if you need an example.  If someone would like to do some RTK inquiries on voter registration, mail forwarding, or change of address with the Registry, the sharing of findings is strongly encouraged.

So, to say it another way, regarding these 2 candidates for Ted Gatsas’s seat, how long has Ryan had to familiarize himself with the district he wants to represent? Terese has been a long-time Loudon resident and the length of Ryan’s residency in Lee matters. If he’s lived there long enough to be eligible for office there, then why is he still representing Nashua in the BoE?

I recognize that I took a real side trip in my discussion of Ryan and I welcome his comments in the public square, but let’s get back to Terese because this article is supposed to be about HER candidacy.

Terese’s compass always points to doing the next right thing. She has a passion for helping “kids in the system.” Ask her about The Forgotten Ministry. I am NOT a Bible scholar by any stretch of the imagination, but I am certain that she will credit God for her desire to answer the call to serve others.  Before becoming a nurse, she had a resume rich in project management and has been a regular attendee at EC meetings once charges against her were dropped.

Did you know that 20 months of tormenting lawfare had her bail conditions like that of a restraining order against a violent criminal? Terese is so committed to keeping an eye on the EC that pending charges against her were no deterrent from supervising Ted Gatsas. Needless to say, he works for her, and she is presently his boss. Now it’s her turn to work for him (and Ryan Terrell, as well as the rest of EC District 4).

Did Mass General Brigham Hospital Mean to Imply That a Lot of Black People Use Drugs

Fri, 2024-04-05 20:00 +0000

In a world where the overpaid diversity officers of large outfits drive policy based on some perception of social justice, it’s easy to trip over both left feet. Take Mass General Brigham Hospital. They just announced that they will no longer “report babies who are born with drugs in their system to child welfare.”

Because it is not in the welfare interests of the child? Of course not. It is because it “disproportionately affects Black people.”

It sounds to me like Mass Brigham just implied that more black people abuse drugs. Where’s the social justice in that?

Racists.

Bananas: Democrats Suddenly Defend the Bible

Fri, 2024-04-05 18:00 +0000

In his latest 4-D chess move the former CEO of America, Donald Trump, has managed to get Democrats to defend the Bible.  Despite years and decades of mocking the most Holy Book while flat out defying its clear commandments, the Democrat party had a sudden change of heart upon hearing the King of the Solarverse, Donald Trump, is selling them for the economy-adjusted price of just $60.

Among those criticizing the Potent Patriarch are such religiously devout secularists as Raphael Warnock (Sen. – GA).

“The Bible does not need Donald Trump’s endorsement,” Warnock, the pastor of Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist church, said to CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.  Speaking on Transgender Visibility Day (formerly Easter), one of the Democrat Party’s holiest celebrations next to the other 117 sexidays, Warnock added: “It’s a risky bet because the folks who buy those Bibles might actually open them up, where it says things like thou shalt not lie, thou shalt not bear false witness, where it warns about wolves dressed up in sheep’s clothing.”   However Warnock might heed his own warnings.  As the Bible says, those who wear glasses around the house should not get stoned, or some such proverbial truthiness.  The never sheepish Warnock apparently was unclear on the Bible’s injunction for “husbands (to) love your wives”(Ephesians 5:25) as he deliberately ran over his wife’s foot following an argument about a woman’s right to choose to collect delinquent child-support payments. 

Not to be outdone the Biden Administration declared the holiest day in Christendom will now be recognized as Transgender Visibility Day.  Former Vice President Joe Biden is a man known for his devout Catholic piety.  From swimming in his garden of Eden suit in front of female Secret Service agents to his unutterable reverence for “you know the Thing”, Joe Biden is practically a choir boy among men.  Where the Lord was known to say “keep not the little children from me” (Matt 19:14) Joe Biden is a man after God’s own heart, and His small children, laying his hands on them like a faith healer during an end-of-the-month fundraiser. Like Trump he is also fairly squeamish when it comes to picking a favorite Bible verse but prefers to keep his faith private.  One shining example of his privacy and extreme humility is this article about how humble he is with pictures and videos so everyone can see for themselves.  “It’s like that one passage where Jesus talks about being rewarded for PDA’s to God or something like that?  He’s so righteous.  He’s so righteous he’s lefteous!” says long time donor Thomas Foolery.

Accusations of Trump being a false prophet were also levied by former congressmen and false Republican Adam Kinzinger who took to X to warn the easily fleeced public:

“The fact that Donald is now selling Bibles is proof that he’s a false prophet for profit. Pastors beware: you will be held to account for how you led your people. Trump is an abomination to God and our country”

From his Truth Social platform the President of Bibles shot back:

“LITTLE ADAM KINZINGER WOULDN’T KNOW A PROFIT IF HE HAD NANCY PELOSI’S FINANCIAL ADVISOR!  WHAT A LOSER THAT GUY IS!  HE’S SO DUMB HE PROBABLY THINKS THE BOOK OF JOB IS ABOUT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES!  TOTAL RINO!”

He then shared his most recent bank statement that showed a deposit for just north of $3 billion dollars thanks to his IPO earnings from Truth Social before lobbing one final holy hand-grenade of a tweet:

“CHRIST IS KING!”

Adam wept.

TGIF!

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!

KGB Reportedly Gave Arab Terrorists a Taste of Brutality to Free Diplomats – Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)

The KGB then apparently kidnaped and killed a relative of an unnamed leader of the Shias’ Hezbollah (Party of God) group, a radical, pro-Iranian group that has been suspected of various terrorist activities against Western targets in Lebanon.

Parts of the man’s body, the paper said, were then sent to the Hezbollah leader with a warning that he would lose other relatives in a similar fashion if the three remaining Soviet diplomats were not immediately released. They were quickly freed.

The newspaper quoted “observers in Jerusalem” as saying: “This is the way the Soviets operate. They do things–they don’t talk. And this is the language Hezbollah understands.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remember when my wife took her oath of citizenship.  She was beaming, smiling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never mind the fact these things – to my knowledge – can’t be recycled.

 

 

 

 

 

Early on my son had this done.  Never again.

You must grasp this to your core.  For the vast majority of the Jab pushers, there will be no What have we done? moment.  They will gaslight you – they will gaslight themselves – rather than jeopardize their paychecks or admit they were wrong.

But without admission, without remorse, there can be no forgiveness either.

The Unethical Tactics of Attorney Hilliard and Attorney Bolton to Impede a Fair Trial

Fri, 2024-04-05 14:00 +0000

I recently filed two Attorney Discipline Office complaints, one against Attorney Hilliard and another against Attorney Bolton for failing to provide me with a properly and equitably marked exhibit book for a December 2023 Trial in which I am seeking records on the downtown barriers and the Nashua Performing Arts Center.

The City has hired high-powered outside counsel to defeat me in this request for public information. The City has retained McLean Middleton to represent two shell corporations established by the City to funnel public money into a private corporation for the Art Center and Attorney Russ Hilliard to represent the interests of the City. Attorney Bolton, Attorney Leonard, and now newly hired Attorney Barnes are also on the case. There have been five city attorneys in this case, and now, six against me, while I have no legal representation. To date, the City has spent almost $400,000 on this case. This City has many records to hide on the Nashua Arts Center, as it appears the City misused and committed fraudulent acts with public money.

The first three days of the Trial were in December, and the rules for submitting evidence required that the plaintiff mark the exhibits with numbers and the defendants mark their exhibits with letters. This rule is designed to clarify who produced what exhibits.

At the trial management conference, the City’s books were not marked properly, and the Judge ordered the City to redo their books to comply with Court rules. How could attorneys collectively with over 150 years of experience not properly mark exhibit books?

When Ortolano received her exhibit book, which the Court ordered redone, it did not contain the index and the letter markings to identify each exhibit. The City gave all of the parties at the defense table, the Judge, and the court stenographer books that were organized with a letter identifier for each exhibit. However, my book was double-sided printed and numerically Bates-stamped with no alphabetized page separators.

The City deliberately produced this book in this format to make it more cumbersome for me to reference the exhibits during the Trial. I would have to flip between pages to determine whether the exhibit I referred to was A, B, or C. The City deliberately took the time to create a “unique” book for me.

When the December Trial began, I put this issue before Judge Temple and noted my concern that the City did not properly mark my exhibit book. I carried in an example of a city exhibit book from a past trial and showed the Judge that, in the past, the City did comply with the Court’s rule for marking exhibits. Judge Temple remained silent on the issue, but during the Trial, he offered me the use of the Court’s book to more easily reference the exhibits I wanted to present to my witnesses and the Court. I refused to accept the City’s improperly marked exhibits. This resulted in one full day of the Trial being wasted on a page-by-page review and acceptance of the City’s exhibits.

These underhanded and dirty tricks done by high-powered yet dishonorable attorneys have no place in the courtroom. But in reality, they do when a judge is in the pocket of a city. Judge Temple has not been impartial or given me the expedited fair Trial I was to be afforded by the Constitution and due process rules. The tactics of the Court run up the cost and prevent citizens from affording representation. I have worked hard to open records in Nashua while going up against the single most corrupt enterprise in the State of New Hampshire—the New Hampshire Judicial system.
