The George H. & Ella M. Rodgers Memorial Library, which is the public library for Hudson, NH,  is hosting a “PRIDE: Love Wins” event on June 11 from 10 am to noon which is advertised to be for “all ages.”

From the description of the event:

Celebrate who you are. Show love to all our community members.

Make buttons, flags, and bracelets. Enjoy inclusive storytime.

When a Hudson resident called and inquired, she was told by Tanya Moesel, head of youth services, that “Anyone is welcome, kids included.” Ms. Moesel is choosing the books for the “inclusive storytime” and she told the resident that there would not be a drag performer reading the books.

Two picture books that are available in the Rodgers Library to read to impressionable young children to convince them that being transgender is fun and exciting are “I Am Jazz” and “Red: A Crayon’s Story.”

The library does not have a copy of “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” by Abigail Shrier which is what teens and parents should be reading to learn about the horrible psychological and physical damage done to kids in the name of gender ideology.

However, a copy of “Irreversible Damage” is available from the library consortium that serves the towns of Amherst, Bedford, Derry, Goffstown, Hooksett, Hudson, Manchester, Merrimack, Milford, Salem, and Windham.

We learned it was “Picture Day” and “Ice Cream Social Day” at the State House. Most of us lined up on the State House Steps prior to House Session to snap a “class photo”. Thanks to House Speaker Staff, and Deputy Chief of Staff Debra Childs in particular, for herding cats. It was a nice day for it too. Then at lunch we got treated to ice cream with an array of toppings… they even had cheese balls… who on earth put cheese balls on their ice cream? Seriously?!

We learned that The Granite Statesman Barbershop Quartet delivers a very decent acappella “Star Spangled Banner”.  It was a pleasant way to open up House Session.

We learned that the business of today’s House Session was to agree (or not) with the Committee of Conference (CoC) Reports on various Senate and House bills. As we agreed to Senate bills CoC reports they went back to that chamber for Senate agreement (or not) as well. Then we went through the House bill CoC reports that got agreed to by the Senate. Sort of a mini “cross-over day”!

We learned that the House and Senate would rather agree with the SB200 CoC redistricting changes for the congressional maps than to allow a random judge to decide that for our state. It appears the governor has indicated a veto and would rather it go to a judge, since he’s expressed his displeasure with what our legislature has agreed upon. The House passed the CoC for SB200 176-171. It will be a sad day for NH if some random judge carves up our state into a congressional map that we will be stuck with for the next decade, especially after all the time and thought that went into this final version.

We learned that SB401 CoC passed with a voice vote. Part of this bill will distribute over $60 million in the form of block grants and bridge aid to municipalities along with money to DOT for dash cams plus money for body cams for police. The $75 million price tag on this bill comes from increased state revenues which have been arriving into the state coffers in higher than anticipated amounts. Thanks to Republican sound fiscal policy, those funds are going back to the municipalities to help our towns repair roads and bridges and give some local tax relief.  Got pot holes?

We learned that SB366 CoC also passed on a voice vote and will allow for an audit of the 2022 elections in the primary and general elections. These audits will be conducted at random locations and will also audit the ballot counting machines. No shenanigans allowed.

We learned that after 22 terms… representing 44 years …. the longest serving State Representative in the Nation, Rep. Laura Pantelakos (D-Portsmouth) aka “Dean of the House” is retiring. She was given the Honor of presiding as House Speaker for 3 bills, which all passed on voice votes. We wish her all the best in her retirement and thank her for the many years of service to the people of New Hampshire. She’s served through 9 governors! Pretty incredible!

We learned that because of a horrific shooting by a lunatic in a school in Uvalde Texas, Rep. Altschiller (D-Stratham) decided to attempt to suspend rules and bring to the House floor HB1558 (a background check bill). She wanted to bring a bill before the House with no hearing, and no committee examination. Yet again, we have a knee jerk and zealous gun control reaction by this woman running for a State Senate seat. Rep. Roy (R-Deerfield) said we shouldn’t use a tragedy to push through legislation in the House and also said that people in NH have a right to a hearing on these bills. He was right.  The roll call vote for suspension of rules failed 163(Y)-188(N). Expect many gun control bills from Democrats next year… No surprise there.

We learned that HB1439 CoC passed with a voice vote. This bill allows for changes to Hospital Visitation policies, and was called “the No Patient Left Alone Act”. No person deserves to be alone and unable to be with a family member in their time of illness or incapacitation. This was a win for patients and their families. I was happy to co-sponsor this bill.

We learned that a new dental benefit for Medicaid was passed (246-105) with the CoC for HB103. Those who voted for this felt that the State will end up paying less in Medicaid costs since preventative care in oral health will contribute to less oral/dental emergencies and less major systemic health problems resulting down the road from poor dental care. Those voting against it didn’t think Medicaid benefits should be expanded. The way it was set up was more like insurance with co-pays and only for particular Medicaid recipients.. so it is limited. Time will tell to see if we do realize cost savings.

We learned that the biggest controversial CoC report of the day, HB1431, was voted down on a roll call vote 171(Y)-176(N) after an effort to table it failed 169-173. The House voted to kill this Parental Rights bill despite the rally outside the State House in the morning calling for its passage. Opponents of the bill said it would endanger gay/trans/etc. kids by outing them to their parents. Proponents of the bill didn’t believe that would happen, but more importantly they didn’t think secrets should be kept from parents. Parents should know what is going on with their kids at school, especially if they are being influenced by teachers or other adults who may be sexual predators or grooming kids for who knows what. The bill was also under veto threat by the governor. No doubt this bill will return next session, and that’s no secret.

We learned that HB1661 CoC report passed with a roll call vote of 244-99. It appears we will be spending an initial $9.350 million for a new parking garage for the legislature, plus there was a stack of other goodies in this bill. One of which was career technical education along with a some watered down workforce housing language. It certainly was an expensive mixed bag of tricks.

Finally, we learned that all of these things and more, will now end up on the governor’s desk. It will be interesting to see what we can look forward to for Veto Day in the Fall. So, I will be reporting on that session when we get there. There will be a fair amount of seasoned House members who will not be pursuing re-election. A handful of State Reps are also running for Senate. We wish them all well and thank them for their service, in the House, to our state and their constituents. House Republicans are working hard to fill seats with a veto proof majority for the next biennium. We were able to get some great legislation passed with only a slim Republican majority. Just think of the great things we can accomplish with a veto proof majority!

 

The post So Kids, What Did We Learn From Thursday’s House Session (05/26/22)? appeared first on Granite Grok.

My blog started its journey on January 25, 2021. Donald Trump had left Washington the week before his new home at Mar-a-Lago, and except for the Pandemic, he turned over a country that was in good shape and ready to come out of hibernation and grow. The Border was secure, inflation at 2%, the stock market was growing, our military was solid, and our relationships with geopolitical threats were stable. We were a country ready to get back to work and the life we enjoyed before COVID.

Fast forward, and the State of our Union is quite different, and many cannot believe how quickly we became unraveled. The Border is open and truthfully doesn’t exist. Inflation is at 8.5% but actually much higher. The stock market has given back much of the gains we enjoyed. Our military is more WOKE than .tough, and Afghanistan shows the quality of our leadership. Russia, China, North Korea, and even the Taliban no longer fear us. We are not going in the right direction.

The question that goes unanswered is whether the performance of the Biden/Harris team and administration is an intentional effort to dismantle or transform our great country. If, as many of us believe, this is true, we have gone from a country we were making great again to something that no one can describe. We know that Progressives, and there are many in the White House, intend to transform America, and none on the Right are comfortable with this concept.

This administration is flush with contradictions. The status of the Border turned quickly, and Biden announced that Harris would be in charge of the situation. Appointing a Border Czar gave much hope that we would make the adjustments to curb the flow. We would have been holding onto false hope. The materials previously paid for to complete the Wall lay dormant and rusting on the desert floor of South Texas. Record numbers of illegal immigrants flood across the Rio Grande every day from over 150 countries. They are not vetted, background-checked, or vaccinated, but they are released into our country.

In November of 2021, Joe Biden addressed the country and promised us he would do everything in his power to stabilize and lower gas prices at the pumps. It was a lie, and he knew it. Gas prices have more than doubled during Biden’s term. This week, he leveled with Americans and said the high costs of gas would go higher, which is part of the plan to get America to electric cars. Horrendous plan, Joe, and it will cost everyone dearly.

America and Americans are not ready for electric cars. The infrastructure is not in place and will not be for years. Electric vehicles are out of the price range for Americans, and the supply and options are far too limited. In the meantime, you are breaking American budgets with ridiculous fuel costs, which will stymy the economy. These increased costs will be passed onto the consumer, which will fuel, excuse the pun, inflation. Who are the supposed Nobel Laureates who are advising Biden? They could not be more wrong.

Inflation was supposed to be transitory, according to Biden last fall. As we head into recession and stagflation, Biden shows he is again wrong, and every time he is wrong, it costs Americans more and more.

The only thing Biden has done right is putting the muzzle on Harris. Biden is old and incoherent, but Harris is simply embarrassing. She has to be taken out of the chain of succession. Biden will not last his full term. America will not last a President Harris.

After 500 days, I can say with total certainty, that the State of the Union is poor. The question is, are we at the bottom yet?

Yes, this is out of order, numerically speaking, with those Snippets “in the can” but not yet published. But, I felt it was right given the copycat tragedy that just occurred in Uvalde, Texas.

Yet another mass shooting at an elementary school.  Yes, the Left would love to take all of the law-abiding citizens’ guns away in punishment for a few mentally ill / ideologically wacko people. Those two groups are merely fulcrums to be used to further what I see is their end goal – complete disarmament by any means even if the [hated by them] Constitution protects our Second Amendment Rights.

They do NOT want to acknowledge that it is the person wielding the gun that’s the problem – they always go after the inanimate object that just sits there.  That hunk of metal and plastic has no agency of its own – only the shooter does. It’s the same play with SUVs when an accident occurs – it is the vehicle at fault, not the driver.  Why?

They see SUVs as a crime against GAIA for emissions purposes (and many believe they are WAY too big and you don’t “need” them).

NO gun control law would have stopped this. But there is a problem… …the Left’s decades long efforts in changing Culture’s norms to where Life at any stage is no longer valued. Instead, it’s all about ME! and all about MY needs and MY feelings and MY life – a complete distorted dystopia that the Left has created in the perpetual outraged supporters it has corrupted that nothing is EVER their fault so why be responsible for anything?

Until the Left begins to understand that they are not the gods of themselves, we all are in a world of hurt. After all, gun safety used to be taught regularly in even elementary schools up to the 50s and 60s?

Today, the Parental Rights Bill (HB1431) passed the State Senate only to die in the NH House. Fifteen Republicans took it upon themselves to ignore the truth and ran cover for Governor Groomer.

From Rebuild NH

The 171-176 vote in the N.H. House to kill HB 1431, which had already passed 14-10 in the Senate, opposes the opinion of 85 percent of New Englanders according to a Parental Rights Foundation survey. In the survey, results of which are expected next week, respondents agreed that, “In general, parents have the constitutional right to make decisions for their children without government interference unless there is proof of abuse or neglect.”

“The people who voted to defend groomers, who are intentionally corrupting the innocent minds of our children, have betrayed every family in the state and defied their oath of office to defend the Constitution, under God,” said Andrew J. Manuse, chairman of RebuildNH. “Families are the fundamental building block of our civil society. Every time we do not stand up to protect parent’s rights as paramount, we are allowing the State to undermine our fundamental liberty.”

 

Governor Sununu had promised a veto, which I suggested could cost him his race in November. Pissing off that many parents across the political spectrum has a cost, but more than a few reliable shills for the moderate Sununu stepped up to do the deed for him.

Parents with Republican Reps who voted not to reconsider (they killed the bill) should reconsider electing them in November by supporting a primary opponent in September. We’ll do what we can to make sure you have one to pick, and we’ll let you know who they are and how you can support them.

The post Breaking: Here’s the List of Republican Groomers in the NH House Who Stabbed Parents in the Back (HB1431) appeared first on Granite Grok.

(NOTE to readers: Skip beat me to the punch on this, but I think the politicization/weaponization of the NH-DOJ is important enough an issue that it is worthwhile for you to have both our takes.)

When I wrote Just Call Him Governor Groomer I was aware that Governor Groomer was justifying his threatened veto of the parental rights bill on “concerns” expressed by the New Hampshire Department of Justice. I tried to find a written version of these concerns because it very much sounded like the NH-DOJ was reasoning backward… that is, starting with the conclusion Governor Groomer wanted reached and then manufacturing arguments to support that conclusion.

I was unable to find anything, but I recently received an email from Cornerstone which contained a link to a letter from the National Legal Foundation that DEMOLISHES the NH-DOJ’s “concerns.” Some highlights:

Gender dysphoria, like other medical or psychological conditions that may need to be addressed while the child is in school, is not part of the primary educational mission for which parents have entrusted their children to the public schools. It is a core parental issue involved in the care, health, and welfare of their children. Just as a school must send scholastic progress reports (report cards) to parents (which, incidentally, “outs” the lazy or uncooperative students to their parents and may lead to abuse), so schools must share information with parents on those matters particularly within the province of parents.

We understand that in a communication with some of the conferees on HB 1431, the Department of Justice has raised some questions with respect to this Bill. In reading this communication, we are quite surprised that the Department did not consider or even mention Meyer v. Nebraska, Pierce v. Society of Sisters, Prince v. Massachusetts or Troxel v. Granville, all of which establish without question the fundamental right of parents to control the upbringing and education of their children.

The Department’s final paragraph discussing the potential liability of a school/ municipality that “outs” a child is disingenuous. The Department cites the case of Sterling v. Borough of Minersville, 232 F.3d 190, 196 (3rd Cir. 2000) in which municipal police threatened to “out” an 18 year old adult who thereafter committed suicide, and the city settled the claim for $100,000. Here the children subject to the NH Parental Rights Act are children, who lack the capacity to file suit. Moreover, the children’s parents are being informed, pursuant to their fundamental rights as parents, by schools pursuant to New Hampshire law. How can parents under such facts ever establish standing to sue?

In the last case cited by the Department in its communication on HB 1431 (Wyatt v. Fletcher, 718 F.3d 496 (5th Cir. 2013), the Department of Justice cites with good reason the dissenting opinion, since the majority held directly the opposite.

In a nutshell, the NH-DOJ is either completely incompetent OR was intentionally misleading the Legislature. Given the NH-DOJ’s track record… playing matador-defense in the Claremont education funding cases and voter-ID cases … I think it is clearly the latter. The NH-DOJ remains … despite three terms of a supposedly Republican Governor … thoroughly politicized.

Don’t call it the New Hampshire Department of Justice … call it the New Hampshire Department of Grooming.

If you have not invested in companies making test kits for COVID, you may not be too late. The Health Care Industrial Complex people are all in, and now they say we need more testing! MORE TESTING!

 

CDC now recommends everyone test for Covid-19 prior to domestic travel, including those up-to-date on Covid-19 vaccination and even those with four or more shots. https://t.co/m5lrWr9Ahq

— Aaron Siri (@AaronSiriSG) May 19, 2022

 

Four or more shots?

Who the wow, that’s some degree of stupid not yet truly comprehended. Sure, we made jokes about the 26th booster, but this is real. There are (apparently) people who’ve gotten four or more shots, and the CDC still wants them tested.

Are these the folks who built the armor on the bottom of the Humvees during the Iraq wars? Turns into Swiss cheese when you hit an IED?

In local COVID news, the Dartmouth (Hitchcock) Death Cult wants to remind us that boosters are approved for ages 5-11.

 

The US Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommend a booster dose for all children ages 5 to 11 at least 5 months after the primary vaccine series (two doses):

• • • For children who are moderately or severely immunocompromised, the recommended primary series is 3 doses of an mRNA vaccine followed by a booster (4th dose).

Adults, age 50 and older should get a second booster (with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine) if you had your first booster shot at least 4 months ago:

• • • People ages 18 to 49 years of age who received the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine for both their primary series and 1st booster may receive a 2nd booster (with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine) at least 4 months after their first booster.

 

Or, and here’s a crazy idea, you could get your Vitamin D3 level tested or supplement with D3, C, and Zinc. Mortality from COVID and Omicron, in particular, for almost everyone with adequate D3, is near zero. You can still catch it and have “the flu,” but there are fewer total cases, fewer hospitalizations, and significantly fewer deaths. There are tons of studies to prove this.

The Jab’s track record is atrocious by comparison.

And D3 doesn’t come with 32 pages of side effects.

Speaking of near zero, not a single kid in NH under 20 died with or from COVID until after we started jabbing them with these experimental injections.

One child under ten is reported to have died “from” COVID in NH a few months after they started sacrificing the little ones to Fauci’s dark god. But more than that have died because of the COVID vaccine. At least two dead under the age of twenty with nine reported cases of Myocarditis, and over 250 adverse reactions reported to VAERS from NH in the under 20 age group.

We know there were more.

We’ve also demonstrated on these pages (using state data) that these injections did not improve cases or mortality in the granite state. Still, the band plays on as so-called health experts continue to push testing and experimental pharmaceuticals on children that don’t benefit them.

It’s disgusting.

Dartmouth Health? No, I don’t think that’s what this is at all.

Sadly, there has been another school shooting, this time in Texas.  Also sadly, there are people who have been waiting around to use something like this as an excuse for dragging out every anti-gun measure that they haven’t been able to enact in the past.

This is especially sad when it should be clear to any fifth-grader that the proposed measures would have had absolutely no effect.  In this case, for example, the shooter was able to pass a background check in order to buy the weapons he used.  So naturally, the proper response to this is to expand the set of circumstances in which background checks must be performed.  Right?

‘When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?’ asks President* Biden.  But by ‘gun lobby’, he actually means people like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and other founders.

(Actually, if we want to prevent more school shootings, it’s not the gun lobby that needs standing up to.  It’s the school lobby.)

Anyway, it seems appropriate just now to re-examine something I wrote a while ago, about the kind of trouble we can get into when we use the word ‘problem’ — something we don’t want — to describe what is actually a ‘consequence’ of something we need.

Here are a couple of examples of ‘problem-based thinking’:

If people have access to guns, some small number of them will misuse those guns.  That’s a ‘problem’, and the ‘solution’ is to take guns away from everyone.

If people have access to drugs, some small number of them will misuse those drugs.  That’s a ‘problem’, and the ‘solution’ is to take drugs away from everyone.

But really, these are just special cases of a more general ‘problem’:

If people have freedom, some small number of them will misuse that freedom.  That’s a ‘problem’, and the ‘solution’ is to take freedom away from everyone.

But consider Daniel in the lion’s den. Does he have a problem? Or is he just experiencing the consequences of his refusal to compromise his beliefs?

Or consider Jesus, about to be crucified. Does he have a problem? Or is he just experiencing the consequences of accepting his identity?

What about Socrates? Joan of Arc? Thomas More? Nathan Hale? The signers of the Declaration of Independence?  Problems or consequences?

Would we want any of them to compromise their principles in order to get a different outcome?  In fact, don’t we hold them up as examples of why it’s important not to do that?

If we adopt some principles, and they lead to certain undesirable consequences, then that’s just something we live with, and try to prepare for.

(Perhaps the ultimate expression of this would be our state motto. No, not the new one, ‘Public Health Trumps Everything‘.  I’m talking about the old, un-truncated version: ‘Live Free or Die. Death is not the worst of evils.’)

But as soon as we call one of those consequences a ‘problem’, we flip the normal process (‘Be true to your principles, and accept whatever follows from that’) on its head.

Suddenly the most important thing isn’t following some principles, but obtaining some outcome; and the fact that there’s a ‘problem’ means that everyone will look for a ‘solution’, even when that’s not appropriate.

For example. We don’t have a ‘gun violence problem’, or an ‘opioid use problem’, or a ‘disinformation problem’.  In each of those cases, what we have is a ‘consequence of freedom for which some of us have not adequately prepared.’

Given the inherently lazy and short-sighted nature of political processes, the ‘solutions’ to various ‘problems’ will invariably require ignoring, or even reversing, some of the principles that we have long declared to be essential.

Someone has been shot? Let’s take away guns! Someone has said something hurtful? Let’s outlaw unpopular speech! Someone might get away with a crime? Let’s presume guilt instead of innocence! And so on.

As Confucius noted, the first step towards wisdom is to call things by their right names. So the first step away from wisdom would be to call things by their wrong names.

The surest way to accelerate the erosion of our rights is to continue to elevate outcomes above principles, which begins by talking about consequences as if they are problems.

That’s what’s about to happen now. So pay attention, and when you get a chance, vote accordingly.

Well, it was going to happen sooner or later. In uploading some documents for information they requested, they didn’t like the answer and last night, told us that we were effectively locked out of our account from using it (we can log in but can’t send or receive money). I’ve heard that this has happened to Conservative sites so I’m not surprised.

I’m on hold with Paypal as I write this to see if I can straighten this out.

Now, we have a backup Paypal account so we can still pay the bills (good thing we are an ultra-low-budget/frugal entity compared to our competition!)  and we’ll start redirecting people, as needed, for sponsored posts and for those of you who have been nice enough to support us on a monthly basis.  If you get any kind of a bounceback because of their action that we can’t take the money you’ve offered, we apologize and will let you know either then it has been fixed or we’re going elsewhere.  I’ll be first shutting off the DONATE page, then moving it around to our backup account. If you would, give me a couple of days since it has been years since I did this last and I’m betting things have changed as well.

It’s funny, Steve and I were just starting to talk about finding a “Right side” / Conservative payment processor. Turns out to have been the right question to ask, just a wee bit late in asking it. So there are several out there now (The Left taunted the Right “well, go create your own if you don’t like ours”. Now they’re ticked because it has happened and we on the Right ARE leaving. So if you know of any, or are using any yourself, let us know in the comments.

So, let us know if you have any questions – we’ll answer them the best we can.  In the meantime, know that the lights will stay on! And please “hang with us” while I start tinkering with stuff “under the hood”.

And we DO thank you for your support!

The post Announcement: PayPal Has Decided to Shut Granitegrok off from Its Services appeared first on Granite Grok.

I had called the Prime Sponsor of HB1431 (a Parental Bill of Rights) yesterday afternoon (NH State Rep Paul Terry) while traveling back from Massachusetts. Having been away from my keyboard for more than a few hours, I wanted to see if there were any updates on this bill.

Did Governor Groomer (Chris Sununu) admit he was wrong and allow this bill to become Law? Unfortunately, he had no update on that but DID say that the National Legal Foundation had written a Letter concerning the fallacies that Sununu (and before him, the weak legal tea from NH AG Formella) had uttered.

They were logically the same as the Left complaining about the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida that only stated that NO sexuality lessons or discussions were to be taught or held in K-3 classrooms.

HB1431 does not do what either Sununu or his legal lackey claim so their only purpose was to throw shade at those who believe Parents are in charge of their kids and that we do not consent to the idiotic idea that we “co-parent” our children with Government.

Here is that Letter; it starts thusly:

Re: Constitutionality of HB 1431– NH Parental Bill of Rights

Dear Speaker Packard and Majority Leader Osborne:

The National Legal Foundation (NLF) supports parental rights, which the U.S. Supreme Court has declared as a fundamental right. NLF therefore supports HB 1431 as presently drafted. NLF is a public interest law firm dedicated to the defense of constitutional liberties. We write on behalf of ourselves and our donors and supporters, including those in New Hampshire. The NLF has had a significant federal and state court practice since 1985, including representing numerous parties and amici before the Supreme Court of the United States and the supreme courts of several states.

The Fundamental Right of Parents to Direct Their Children’s Education

Beginning with Meyer v. Nebraska, 262 U.S. 390 (1923), a case involving a state
education policy for minor children contrary to the desire of their parents, the Supreme Court has consistently recognized the fundamental right of parents to direct the welfare, education, and upbringing of their children without undue interference by the state. This liberty interest is protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and was long established previously in the common law.1  The “Fourteenth Amendment ‘forbids the government to infringe . . . “fundamental” liberty interests at all, no matter what process is provided, unless the infringement is narrowly tailored to serve a compelling state interest.’” Wash. v. Glucksberg, 521 U.S. 702, 721 (1997), quoting Reno v. Flores, 507 U.S. 292, 302 (1993) (emphasis in original); see Jordan by Jordan v. Jackson, 15 F.3d 333, 343 (4th Cir. 1994).

I really do like this line on page 3 – it seems that Sununu, Government as a whole, and Schools HAVE forgotten this:

Public schools must not forget that “in loco parentis” does not mean “displace parents.”

And this, too:

HB 1431 declares this “oldest of the fundamental liberty interests” to be also a fundamental right under New Hampshire law, and imposes upon the government the usual burden if the State seeks to limit this fundamental right – the State and its political subdivisions and/or schools must show that its limitation is “reasonable and necessary to achieve a compelling state interest and that such action is narrowly tailored and cannot be achieved by less restrictive means.”

Limitations – now flip that around: do you believe that either Sununu or schools boards recognize the founding idea of Limited Government?  Add to that, is coercing someone’s Free Speech (insisting on the use of only Government approved “preferred pronouns”) and lying to Parents (“Ve vill tell you NOTHING!”).  How is either of those a “compelling state interest” other than “they’re doing it because they believe they can” (which is no limitation at all).

And with Sununu giving NH School Boards “cover”, they are actually doing so – displacing parents and their Constitutional Authority. Here is the entire Letter:

NLF Letter_NH HB1431

It is clear that Sununu believes that “He Trumps Parents” in this regard of Schools/Government having the Power to insert themselves in between Parents and their children. It is clear that, unlike both Sununu and Formella, the NLF has brought real legal firepower to the argument. Both Formella and Sununu merely waved their hands, set off a teeny-tiny smoke bomb to try to hide behind, then mumbled a bit about discrimination and transgenders, and believe the rest of us would simply and calmly accept that codswallop.

Yeah, not happening.  The Gilford School Board make it PERSONAL to me by lying (by refusing to tell me) what the transgender status of my legal son is. And that Mom in Manchester has the same problem with her daughter who, it seems, the Manchester School District turned trans and refused to tell her, either.

And Sununu is perfectly fine with this. His Leftist Social Justice side makes it impossible for him to have any empathy for Parents trying to protect their children from the Government they used to trust; he’s now sowing Distrust and Disinformation on what we have actually caught the NHSBA (who has retracted their Policy JBAB that is the source of why HB1431 is needed in the first place) and various school boards across the state.

Remember, they “govern” by our consent – I hope that, just like with Policy JBAB having been retracted, we withdraw our consent in allowing Governor Groomer to continue to Rule.

At the May 10 meeting of the Nashua Board of Aldermen, after I spoke during the public comment period about my Save Women’s Sports flag being taken down from the Citizen Flag Pole by the order of Mayor Jim Donchess in October 2020, Alderman-at-Large Melbourne Moran responded by saying:

I’ve had many, many people in this city that have approached me to say that the Satanic flag needs to fly with the Save Women’s Sports flag in the city because they are so closely related together.

And these aren’t my words. These are the words of my constituents and I just want to share them with you that it might be a good idea and symbolically to have these two flags flying together as they are so closely related.

I’m a God-fearing Catholic. I can’t stand on the side of the Satanic Temple but thankfully people like Ms. Scaer can lock arms with them and I do appreciate that and for the sake of freedom and the freedom of speech for everyone around the country.

Related: City of Nashua Admits They Were Wrong to Take Down My Save Women’s Sports Flag

This was my response to Alderman Moran during my public comments at the May 24 Board of Aldermen meeting:

Alderman Moran,

After I gave my public comment at May 10’s Board of Aldermen’s meeting about my delight that the Mayor and the City of Nashua admitted that it was wrong to have my Save Women’s Sports flag removed from the Citizen Flag Pole, I was prepared for sharp remarks in opposition to my flag.

Criticism of my flag is welcome because it keeps the dialogue going about what should be done about the issue of men competing in women’s sports and because freedom of speech is a right that I, and I assume all of you, hold dearly. If no one criticized the SWS flag, I would have no opportunity to defend it.

I was shocked when you went beyond criticizing my flag into a personal attack, calling me out by name and saying that I “lock arms with [the Satanic Temple].”

You, the person with power, disparaged me, the person without power, to your friends and colleagues and did in front of me but you spoke as if I weren’t there in the room with all of you, and with the residents of Nashua watching from home.

You used the classic bullying tactics – singling me out, making false accusations against me, humiliating me, and encouraging others to turn against me. I would compare it to middle school except this is the real world and canceling people has much more dire consequences.

And you violated the Board’s Code of Conduct and all of the members of this Board in attendance also violated it when they did not speak up about your violation.

You may say your attack on me was justified because my message is an attack on LGBTQ people. If that is so then why do Martina Navratilova and Caitlyn Jenner, two of the most famous LGBTQ people in the world support the cause of saving women’s sports? It is because as former elite athletes, they know better than anyone what a disadvantage women are at in physical competitions against men.

Last year, Martina retweeted this statement:

“The reputation of the gay rights movement is tarnished when activists that claim to represent us deny biological reality and undermine the sporting chance of girls and women.”

When you make a personal attack on me because of my message of saving women’s sports, you may score points with the powerful and connected of this city and you may believe you are being virtuous and speaking up for vulnerable people but you are in fact piling on and helping to cause serious harms to girls and women who only want to compete on a level playing field.

Maggie Hassan is the junior Senator from New Hampshire and our former Governor. A great question is how she achieved either office. Hassan is a poorly rated Senator and votes 100% along party lines.

According to GOVTRACK.US, there are only four Senators rated lower than Hassan. Hassan knows that she is vulnerable and has been in desperation mode since last fall. One year out from the 2022 mid-terms, you could not watch any channel for more than fifteen minutes without seeing a Re-Elect Hassan campaign spot. Her ads went dormant for some time but have started up again in earnest. They target her followers and those not aware of the facts.

Her latest ad is hugely disingenuous and misleading. She claims she will get us relief from surging gas prices at the pump. She plans to pass a bill, against the will of her party, that would halt the Federal Gas Tax for the remainder of the year. The Federal Gasoline Tax is 18.4 cents a gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents for diesel. The average price per gallon of gas in 2020 was $2.19 and is now $4.59. With an increase of $2.40, a 110% increase, how much relief do we realize with a suspension of the Federal Tax? My tank holds 25 gallons. It would cost $115.00 to fill the tank. The tax savings would be $4.60. It would still cost me over $110.00, so, please, Maggie, don’t insult our intelligence.

The other claim in her ad is she will urge President Biden to release more barrels per day than the 1 million barrels he is already withdrawing each day. Biden predicted his action would have an immediate reversal in the rising costs. Instead, we have seen a new record high gas price every day since he started to tap the strategic reserve. By the way, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is supposed to be used in the case of natural disasters or external impacts like war. It is not to be used to repair lousy policy decisions by a failing President who lousy Senators like Hassan support.

We know that politicians will say anything to get into and stay in office. Somebody running for re-election should be able to tout their record. Maggie cannot count on her record to entice people to vote for her. She has to go to the “promise” mode and fabricate vague statements that make it sound like she has been productive. She has not.

Congress has a lower approval rating than even Biden and Harris. Congress does not accomplish very much, and that is unfortunate. When the Legislature does not legislate, they leave the door open for the President to use Executive Orders. EOs are not binding and are not law. We need Congress to step up and negotiate solutions to some of our most dire issues. Crime, Border Security, and Comprehensive Immigration should be priorities, but not in this partisan branch.

Hassan claims she is for an increased effort to curb the rash of Fentanyl deaths, but she does not want to address the need for securing the border and completing the wall. If she is not concerned with the entry point, how serious is her effort?

Hopefully, we are coming to the end of Maggie Hassan’s political career. In the meantime, we need to make sure we call her out on every mistruth or any effort to color the truth.

The post Maggie Hassan Exemplifies Desperation and Misinformation appeared first on Granite Grok.

Many years ago I read an article called The Three Conjectures, at PJMedia, the Belmont Club.  It’s about radical Islamists getting nuclear weapons and it did not paint a comforting picture.  I’ve struggled for years with that essay, desperate to find the flaw in the argument.  Thus far I have not.  I had a similar feeling here, writing this.  I desperately want to find a flaw in the argument, lest my small-hour musings – and what I believe to be their logical follow-on implications – prove true.

 

AN ANNOYING ABILITY

I’ve long had an ability to see second-and-third order effects from events very quickly.  Most of the time that has proven very useful, especially in my chosen career.  A domestic example: one time my younger child came from the playroom giddily dragging one of the educational posters that had been on the wall.  It took me a scant moment to realize what they were dragging, and my immediate second-order thought was What about the thumbtacks?  (I searched for them, found them all, and remounted the poster.  Phew!)

Sometimes that ability takes a darker turn.  I discussed, in my piece The Danger of Knowledge, the potential dangers of the mRNA in the Jabs reverse transcribing into cell DNA:

We now have had THE JABS out for enough time, methinks, that there should be couples who have had the Jabs pre-conception and have given birth – there should be an effort to survey such parents to see if their children have the mRNA in them producing the spike proteins.  If even one child is shown to have the mRNA now in their DNA… time to start building gallows.

A fear not only expressed by me but many others:

 

 

Now, watch this video by Dr. David Martin – it’s long (just over an hour) and has a lot of good nuggets in it so I recommend it in full, but note the original purpose of Moderna’s initial founding which he starts discussing about 11 minutes in:

 

 

Yes, that’s right, the federal grant that helped get Moderna going was specifically founded to research using mRNA to edit new info into living cells’ DNA.  Let that sink into your head as you also contemplate the Bayer Executive who admits these shots are gene therapy (link in the original, bolding added):

The president of Bayer’s Pharmaceuticals Division told international “experts” during a globalist health conference that the mRNA COVID-19 shots are indeed “cell and gene therapy” marketed as “vaccines” to be palatable to the public.

Stefan Oelrich, president of Bayer’s Pharmaceuticals Division, made these comments at this year’s World Health Summit, which took place in Berlin from October 24-26 and hosted 6,000 people from 120 countries. Oelrich told his fellow international “experts” from academia, politics, and the private sector that the novel mRNA COVID “vaccines” are actually “cell and gene therapy” that would have otherwise been rejected by the public if not for a “pandemic” and favorable marketing.

And while the debunkers soothingly claim that mRNA vaccines will not enter a cell’s nucleus we know from multiple studies that it does, with potential changes to the cell’s DNA.  Here, and earlier here.

Combine that with the findings that the mRNA gets into everywhere, including testes and ovaries… and shudder:

The high concentration of spike protein found in testes and ovaries in the secret Pfizer data released by the Japanese agency raises questions, too. “Will we be rendering young people infertile?” Bridle asked.

Just look at the curves showing the accumulation of spike proteins in the ovaries:

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/spike-protein-in-the-ovaries.mp4

 

These discussions concern infertility.  I’m concerned too, but there’s a different concern as well.  And from here, based on the same reverse-transcription studies as above (bolding added):

Another question is, in which type of cells does this gene embedding occur? If it occurs only in individual organs, then it will affect only the cells in these organs. However, if it occurs in an embryonic cell, it will affect the next generation.

In general, there is no more information to answer these questions. However, the Lund University study had at least one breakthrough. That is, it made people see clearly an exogenous viral gene sequence, mRNA, being inserted into the human chromosome.

IF… and I admit IF… mRNA has gotten to the sperm or ovum and that one is the winner of the reproduction cycle, that alien-to-humans genetic sequence, a sequence that makes a protein that we know is toxic (video, 17 minutes), now potentially enshrines that production in every lineal descendant of that person.  As outlined by Dr. Peter McCollough:

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/mccollough-on-reverse-transcription.mp4

 

If… IF… this occurs we now have a pharma-made genetic sequences entering the human genome.  Whether by accident or by design, and I personally suspect the latter, we are now entering a phase where the human species is being genetically engineered without consent.  Added: Imagine the genius, the sheer diabolical genius, of genetically engineering people to produce a substance that is toxic to their health.  That helps answer the 7.3 billion person question, doesn’t it?

 

A TERRIBLE “IF”

If we find even one case where pharma mRNA has been reverse-transcribed into a sperm or ovum, which subsequently becomes a birthed baby carrying that gene, things get into infernal territory and we are faced with horrific options – absent any way to edit it back out.

Has it happened?  Take a look at this video, below.  If… IF these multiple kids have had the above happen to them, resulting in these odd eyes, holding up their head at four days old, trying to walk at two months…

 

 

Then we are facing the real-world proof something has happened.  Something double-plus ungood.  This needs to be tested.  And while Dr. McCollough, video above, discusses many researchers looking to verify and replicate this reverse transcription into human DNA, we face a problem of species-wide implications.  For who here, even the Jabbed, signed on to take it knowing this could implant genetic material created by a pharma company into every single one of your descendants?  Anyone?  Anyone????

ANYONE????

 

DAMNED EITHER WAY

If this has provably happened, Hell is coming for humanity, laughing joyously.

 

 

So let’s assume – with some arguable but IMHO not-yet-definitive evidence– that this has already happened.  For with dead-cinch certainty if it can be proven and verified that it has happened once, then it has happened multiple times as sheer numbers of injections would statistically lead to that… then we are faced with a dire decision point.  A decision point with no good choices.  I see three options:

First, if we as a global society do nothing except mourn, rail, and gnash our teeth then eventually – as generations pass – those who have had this incorporated into their DNA will eventually dominate the species.  Thus we will, through inaction, have permitted private entities to have started to engineer the human race to their needs, not our own.  To what end, with what consequences?  Remember Murphy: He’s out there, and he’s an SOB.

Second, the apartheid option.  Strict, and I mean STRICT, separation of Jabbed vs. unJabbed in terms of breeding.  Which is, theoretically, possible… but how to enforce it 100%?  No, even a little leakage through the barrier will result in the first possibility being true.  I don’t recall where I saw it, but this analogy applies (italics replaced by underlining):

A cup of sewage poured into a large container, no matter how carefully poured, will not remain only in the place you poured it.

Third, a total war against the Jabbed.  Please note that I’m horrified beyond imagining about this, but it has to be listed.  It would mean the total destruction of virtually every government and transnational institution, not to mention the entire medical and pharmacological establishments, and – at the absolute least – the outright sterilization of anyone who ever took the Jab, from infants upwards.  Plus execution of every UN member, every pharma exec, and everyone in the WEF, WHO, and who knows what else.  (I personally vote for impalement.)  At most, it would mean slaughtering the Jabbed on a genocide the scale of which the world has never, ever seen.  And it would have to be to the last Jabbed person on earth lest, if there was even one reproducing survivor, the genetic contamination start to spread again.

Added: Leave us not forget that the Jabbed will not sit down and just consent to the slaughter.  They’ll fight back.  And it will a global war of extermination with both sides dead-set to eliminate the other to the last person – survival will necessitate it.  Rivers of blood?  No.  Whole oceans of it.

Remember: “There will be a need to kill many billions…”  This was said, openly, in 2015.

 

COSTS AND COSTS

If we do nothing, the first option, then the Globalists will have succeeded in their first step to transform the human species.  Over generations the sewage of that genetic manipulation will diffuse into the purebloods by breeding no matter how careful people are.  If we do the third option, it would destroy humanity’s soul, for nobody surviving would be untouched by the horrific deeds necessary to accomplish this (and that’s assuming the Purebloods win!).  Our very existence on the planet would be tainted forever by that deed, and Satan would win again in having permanently corrupted our souls through his eager and willing tools, the Globalists.  While we might physically survive, I am not sure about our humanity continuing having that large a dark act on our collective souls.

Do I have a solution?  Is there a “good” way out?  I don’t know.  But we cannot play ostrich to the possibility we are being genetically engineered, as a species, against our will.  If we are, this is genetic rape of the entire species by men violating the First Commandment to play G-d with the species.  And remember, it’s being done is being done by people who believe they are doing good:

Most people are good and occasionally do something they know is bad.

Some people are bad and struggle every day to keep it under control.

Others are corrupt to the core and don’t give a damn, as long as they don’t get caught.

But evil is a completely different creature.

Evil is bad that believes it’s good.

PRAY

Pray that I and this worry are wrong.  Pray with all your heart the answer to the question is NO.  For we await an answer to a dread question… and I tremble that the answer may be a YES.  And if yes, pray that there are significant-enough fertility and health issues in those children so born that are so dire and destructive – Hashem forgive me for even the thought – that they either cannot breed successfully, or do not live until reproductive ages.

 

 

Such are the things that keep me up at night.

 

The post Dark Thoughts in the Small Hours appeared first on Granite Grok.

New Hampshire has recently passed some laws that advance Health Freedom, including a bill prohibiting healthcare providers from refusing care or services based on vaccination status.

HB1003 is An ACT “prohibiting health care providers from refusing to provide care or services based on patient vaccination status.”

It’s my favorite sort of bill. Short, sweet, and to the point.

 

52:1 New Paragraph; Patients’ Bill of Rights; Vaccination Status. Amend RSA 151:21 by inserting after paragraph XXI the following new paragraph:
XXII. The patient shall not be denied admission, care, or services based solely on the patient’s vaccination status.

52:2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect upon its passage.

 

That’s the whole thing. Nice work, that.

HB1035 removes the requirement that any religious exemption from vaccination needs to be notarized. Parents can submit a form with their objection to a school, and the school is required to honor that request.

 

II. A parent or legal guardian objects to immunization because of religious beliefs. The parent or legal guardian shall sign a [notarized] form stating that the child has not been immunized because of religious beliefs.

55:2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.

 

And HB1608 requires the New Hampshire State Department of Health and Human Services to advertise (notify the public) that their constitutional right to privacy (New Hampshire has one of those) allows them to be removed from the state’s vaccine registry.

Here’s the Right in Article 2-b: “An individual’s right to live free from governmental intrusion in private or personal information is natural, essential, and inherent.”

And this, from HB1608.

 

The general court finds that the state should not continue to keep the private medical information of individuals that were not afforded the opportunity to choose if they wished it to be collected.

 

The COVID era brought unprecedented attempts to violate bodily autonomy and privacy. And while we’ve not been able to eliminate the vaccine registry itself, this at least requires DHHS to let people know they can ask to get off the list if they are on it and DHHS has to remove them.

Not massive changes, but necessary, and we can add them to a growing list of bills that are taking back or adding health freedoms post-COVID-tyranny.

And there’s plenty of work left to do, but it’s nice to see them put some points on the board.

NH Governor Chris Sununu (Governor Groomer!) has promised to veto the Parental Bill of Rights (HB1431) that would legally put you, Parents, in charge of your kids while in school.

WHY is he protecting School Districts that are refusing to tell you the Transgender status of your child? Or is this just another manifestation of his true political soul – a Big Government progressive masquerading as a Republican that’s decent on guns and taxes but swallows whole the Left’s social agenda? 

As I said on the Life with Liz show (gotta put that podcast up!!!), while I’m about to “borrow” information from the 603 Alliance post, here’s another person / organization you need to call before tomorrow:

NH GOP Chair Steve Stepanek and the Executive Director Elliot Gould:

New Hampshire Republican Party

Let them know what the chances are of voting Republican if their Republican Governor decides to make you second class citizens and while uplifting School Boards and Teachers over you.  A Governor Groomer veto will make it less likely to get a vote from you.

Governor Groomer or Governor Anti-Parent.  Your choice, Parents!  Let him know that he needs to sign this bill because those kids are YOUR kids!

Over at Mike Moffett’s post, Sports “Equity”, he talks about the recent decision by the US Soccer Federation to pay women players the same as the men even though the womens’ version of the game brings in FAR less money than the men.

The biggest reason is attendance – the female version just isn’t as exciting as the male version. They aren’t as good as the men as I’ve posted that female national teams get beat by high school boys teams on a regular basis here at GraniteGrok.  Mike writes (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Further, consider the differing followings for men’s and women’s World Cup tournaments. The 2018 men’s World Cup soccer tournament was watched by a record-breaking 3.57 BILLION people. In contrast, the 2019 Women’s World Cup was viewed by “only” 1.12 billion, according to FIFA. Men’s World Cup soccer generates much more revenue than does Women’s World Cup soccer. Should that fact influence the compensation levels for our respective national teams? Some think so. But would that be “equitable?”

To pay the females the same rate as the much higher quality male players is not “equitable”, IMHO.  Go ahead, convince me in the comments that I’m wrong. And that I’m wrong in stating that the US Soccer Federation is now engaging, not in “equal opportunity” but in “equal outcome”.  And you know what that latter phrase is leading to, don’t you?

Anyways, NHnative left this there:

Step back from this for a second and understand that the goal here is to destroy all that unites us.
What is more uniting than a stadium full of fans?

What is more uniting than the entire nation rooting for a team during the world series?
Look at the economy built around Super Bowl Sunday..
The goal is the destruction of America, one layer at a time.. one thread of the fabric of our society at a time.

All this “Equity” stuff is but a means, a tool, for that destruction.

Think of it like a massive wind farm, they destroy the planet to “Save It”.  It’s the same mentality, once you see it, you see it everywhere.

Destroying things to “Save Them”.

Equal Outcome is Socialism, boosting people to levels that they have not earned and bringing down excellence to a more common level. Do you really think that the US Women’s National Team could beat the US Men’s National Team?  Of course not.

But paying the women the same dollars that the men get is demoting the men – their speed, their strength, their better “soccer IQ”, and their endurance.  Better quality but “lesser pay” simply for political reasons.

Why work hard to be excellent when you see fewer people getting the same for less quality of work?

When no one is better than anyone else in any type of endeavor, it is a destruction of the human spirit for those well able to do far better.

We know that HB1431 does not “out” children to their parents as described by Granite State Progress in this email to Governor Sununu:
http://act.granitestateprogress.org/letter/oppose-hb-1431-support-lgbtq-youth-letter

As your constituent, I urge you to oppose HB 1431, a bill that would force teachers and counselors to disclose the gender identity or expression of LGBTQ+ youth to their parents.

Schools are sometimes the only safe place for LGBTQ+ youth, but this bill would require mandatory, immediate disclosure to parents about student club and extracurricular activities, school counselor visits, and changes in gender identity and expression at school, with no regard for whether it puts a student in harm’s way or outs a child before they can have a safe and loving conversation with their family.

This legislation would interfere in parent child relationships, put LGBTQ+ students in danger, and undermine school efforts to create an affirming, inclusive learning environment for all students.

It is impossible to predict what harm this could cause a child who comes from an anti-LGBTQ+ home, and is particularly concerning given the high rate of suicide and homelessness among LGBTQ+ youth.

This would be devastating to the lives of LGBTQ+ youth and I urge you to please oppose HB 1431.

Here are the facts:

• HB1431 does not require the “outing” of kids questioning their sexuality or gender identity.
• It does not “target” gay and transgender kids for discrimination or disparate treatment.
• If a child wants to confide in a staff member at school that they are questioning their gender or sexuality, that is completely permissible under the bill.
• However, if a child needs counseling, requests a change to their official record or requires “action by school authorities pursuant to school policies” then parents will be notified.
• The bill also gives parents rights to information, transparency and other protections that are fundamental to the very difficult job of parenting and educating their kids.
• For those tragic circumstances where parents constitute a risk to their children, we have existing laws and institutions to address those risks.

 

These progressive organizations are attempting to come between children and their parents, with no due process. One would think that if they were going to advocate for the State coming between parents and children, they’d at least target parents who have some sort of criminal issues that were directed at their children. Protecting children from abusive parents should be a priority for all of us.

But there is no reason to withhold information on children as a general rule. Where does it end?

In this case:

The Jacksons are filing the suit “on behalf of all other parents whose children were subject to physical examinations” and “given access to and/or distributed birth control without the parent’s knowledge, consent or opportunity to opt-out…,” the court papers say, adding that “the precise number of such persons is unknown…”

The Jacksons’ lawyer, Mary Marzolla, said that a physical exam and the administration of birth control constitute “health services,” and that providing those services to a minor without the consent of the parents or guardians violates Public Health law and parents’ rights.

State education law requires parental consent for health services, treatment, and remedial care. The School Health Examination Guidelines also say that distribution of condoms to high school students is a health service requiring parental permission.

As you can see, there are plenty of examples of school officials usurping parental rights and putting children in danger. Birth control pills are not without risks. Right now many females on birth control are experiencing blood clots after COVID. Those who are prone to strokes, because of blood disorders, are also at risk if they are placed on birth control pills. If a female student isn’t aware of this, she might not inform the doctor prior to prescribing the medication.

What People Taking Birth Control Should Know About COVID-19 and Blood Clots

Increasing evidence suggests that COVID-19 can cause blood clots, and the risk for those complications may be increased among people who are pregnant or who take estrogen-containing medicine (including some kinds of birth control). So researchers are warning that we need to learn a lot more about how these two factors could converge with potentially lethal results.

In a recent article, published last month in Endocrinology, the two authors lay out the emerging connection between COVID-19 and blood clots—and call for more research into how the coronavirus might impact those who are already at risk for developing blood clots.

There is a lot to consider when the State comes between a parent and child.

Call Governor Sununu and ask him to support HB1431. 603-271-2121

We know that the education system in this country has been indoctrinating our children for decades. The process began in the colleges and universities where the Progressive and Socialist professors programmed the easily influenced students who thought they were
preparing to teach. They would graduate and go on to teach, but they were also, unwittingly, becoming part of the legion of influencers.

These students graduated and moved on to high schools and K-12 schools and began to spread what they had been programmed. The people at the top of this scheme were patient and realized it would not be until an entire generation had traversed the sixteen-year training to realize results for their efforts. The secret to success is consistency, patience, and building a high confidence level between the children and teachers. The students had to buy into the new dogma they were being fed. They also had to keep a lid on what was happening behind the curtain. The parents must not interfere with the process. It all worked for decades until the Pandemic pulled back the curtain.

When schools shut down during COVID, and remote learning replaced brick and mortar schools, parents were exposed to the tainted curriculum their children were involved in, and they exploded with anger. They wanted answers from their local school board and a seat at the table to decide what their children would be taught. The Boards closed ranks and resisted the parent interference. The battle lines were drawn, and the conflict got ugly.

Teachers’ Unions went to the Biden administration and demanded help shutting down parental involvement. The Justice Department classified these parents who attended school board meetings as “domestic terrorists,” which led to parents being arrested for showing concern for their children. Parents did not concede, and they got angry and took their fight to the ballot box. Governors and local officials who were sympathetic to the school boards paid the price of being removed from office. Entire school boards were replaced by candidates committed to involving parents in the process.

The other elements exposed in the curriculum were CRT, gender orientation, and alternative sexual lifestyles. Parents were furious. Government support for educators or parents depended on the color of the state. Blue states defended the schools while Red states sided with the parents. That alignment did not work out well for the Governor in Virginia as the Republican blitz of Governor, Lt Governor, and Attorney General seats in a traditionally Blue state. Those results may be a harbinger of things to come in November.

Hillary Clinton coined a phrase when she was First Lady. She said, “it takes a village” to raise our children. Parents disagree, and they want the village replaced with their input. This battle is not going to fare well for school systems. As schooling returns to the classrooms, parents continue to monitor what is happening in the classrooms. They do not want their children, especially in grades K-3, exposed to any talk of sex, gender, or racism. The parents argue that they are the ones who should share their values on these subjects with their children and not a teacher. Families are entitled to their values, and school boards, and teachers, do not share these values.

Parents will win this fight if they stay vigilant and continue to use the two powerful tools in their bag, their money and vote. Test scores and graduation rates show that educators have failed us. Angry concerned parents will get us back on track.

When you have to fight or seek assistance to stop pornography from entering your public school, those in charge should never be allowed near children again. At what point will all parents demand better from those who care for their children?

It’s a good thing we are seeing some parents fight back. Finally.

John Rich from the country music group Big & Rich met with Tennessee Governor Lee who agreed that there was a problem with the pornographic literature that was permitted, for children to view, in school. The Governor has agreed to intervene. But this will take time. He is looking to draft legislation, so in the meantime, these children are still at risk of being exposed to pornographic material.

You can watch the interview with John Rich here:

Let’s not forget that some of this obscene material has been found in schools in New Hampshire. Bedford parents for instance, objected to some of the books found in their school library.

Please watch this video where the host admits he has had to deal with this in his school too. This is happening in many schools across the state and nation. You need to start a petition to remove the administrators if you find this in your school. Ask your local county attorney if the materials qualify as obscene and ask that they do something to intervene. These people should never be around children.

As you put together your future advertising budget, you’ll probably ask yourself whether it’s an excellent time to spend money on marketing. Isn’t everything getting more expensive nowadays? Shouldn’t we hold on to our cash?

This metric might help you with that question. The average small business gets back $3 in revenue each time that brand spends $1.60 on ads.

That’s a compelling reason to put together a winning advertising plan. And we are here to help with our guide to forming the perfect advertising strategy.

Your Business Strategy

Never pay for an advertising campaign because you think it’s the right thing. Advertising must always tie in with your high-level business goals. That will keep your strategy focused and effective.

So the first thing you want to do when putting together an advertising plan is to consider what your business needs to achieve in the next twelve months.

Do you want more customers? Do you want to launch a new product? Do you want more website traffic?

Advertising Goals

Once you know your high-level goal, you can translate this into advertising goals. Make these specific and measurable. For example, write down how much traffic you want and your time frame.

Target Market

Your next task is to find out more about your customer. That will help ensure your advertising is reaching the right people. Research your existing customers and use that to develop a customer avatar.

Find out as much as you can about their demographics, interests, and behaviors. The more information you know, the more effective your marketing plan is.

Campaign Timeline and Budget

You won’t want to burn through an entire year’s ad budget in the first month! So put together a detailed timeline of when you plan to advertise and your budget.

Once you have this information, you can start digging into the detail. Decide what type of campaign you’ll need at each point in that timeline to help you hit those company advertising goals.

Don’t forget about significant annual advertising events that you might need to add to your plan, such as Black Friday.

Platforms

Once you have an overview of your campaigns, it’s time to find the perfect platform for your paid ads. You might choose to run a campaign across multiple platforms to get maximum impact.

Make sure you pick the most suitable platforms for your target audience.

It’s always tempting to pick the trending platform, especially if ad costs are low, but if your audience doesn’t use that website, it won’t bring you the results you need.

Metrics

Finally, think about how you’ll gather and monitor data for your ad campaigns. Will you use a professional analytics tool? Or will you rely on reports from the ad dashboard for each platform?

That is a vital step in your business advertising plan because you’ll need those metrics to help you optimize and improve your ads. For example, Google ad optimization will help you position your search ad on the best keywords.

Find Your Winning Advertising Plan

The prospect of growing your business via advertising is exciting. But you’ll still need the right advertising plan if you want your marketing campaigns to succeed. Use this guide to help you get started.
