Manchester, N.H.
In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate
I, Hasan, the son of Akbar, resident of the village of Saraab, being of sound mind and resolute belief in Muhammad, praise be upon him (PBUH) and the 12 Imams, the Pure Ones, declare this here as my last and final will and testament.
I have found it my sacred duty to answer the call and volunteer as a suicide martyr for any mission that our Olama (religious leaders) assign to this humble servant. I have given the matter great thought and have consulted extensively with our village Agha (the mullah). Agha, with patience and understanding, allowed me to ask many questions and replied to all my inquiries. In order to assist other brothers who may have similar questions as they contemplate offering themselves in the service of our infallible faith, I hereby report the essence of my conversation with Agha.
Me. Agha, I offer Your Person my infinite gratitude for giving me a private audience before I head for Tehran and enlist in the Martyrs Brigade. I humbly request that you accept this sum as an insignificant offering, representing my entire worldly possession, as a token of my gratitude for your console and time. It is the payment I received for selling my donkey – my soul-worldly possession of any value. I gave my hoe, shovel, and pick to my elderly parents so that, with the help of my two sisters, they can work our allotted plot and manage to survive. I have only taken enough money from the sale of the donkey to pay for the bus fare to Tehran…
Mullah. (Quickly tucks the notes under his cloak) and says no need, no need for this, my son. The fact that you are volunteering proves that you place no value on this fistful of dust, this worthless world, and you are aiming for eternal life in Allah’s paradise. If you insist, I’ll accept your offering and will pray for your pure soul.
Me. Thank you Agha for your kindness. I am particularly grateful to you to allow me to unburden myself, unreservedly, of many questions and be ready to wing my way to the next world with absolute certitude regarding our sacred faith. To do so demands that I ask my questions without any reservation and Your Person have allowed me to do so. I am eternally grateful to you Agha…
Mullah. Yes, yes, yes. Please go ahead.
Me. I am committed to embarking on my mission and nothing is going to prevent me from so doing. Yet, over the years, listening to the ulama, your own sermons, and what I have learned from the Quran, the Hadith (sayings of the Prophet), and the Sunna (the examples set by Muhammad) have made me think. Most troubling of all has been the whispering of an evil man, my tent-mate in the army from which I was recently discharged. This man never said his five times a-day obligatory prayer, he never consulted the Quran or even did not observe the fast. To the contrary, at every opportunity he raised questions about our infallible faith that caused me great anguish…
Mullah. Go ahead, son. Get to the point. Realize that I am a busy man and I can only spend so much time with any one person. But, since you are a very special believer and you are on your way to offering yourself in the service of our sacred faith, I will take the time and make every effort to relieve your anguish.
Me. Thank you, Your Person, I will try and organize my thoughts. Yet, you will pardon me if I end up jumping all over the map from one topic to the next as they pop up in my head…
Mullah. Go ahead, go ahead. Time is of the essence.
Me. My motive for volunteering is pure. It is my duty to give the life that Allah has given me for his faith. I am also interested in the promised paradise. I understand that by offering my life I will be admitted into a paradise of indescribable magnificence where rivers of milk and honey course through the endless place, choicest fruits of all kinds adorn the trees and all imaginable nice things are for the residents…
Mullah. Yes, yes, yes. I know all about these. Get to the point.
Me. Well, Your Person, I am truly ashamed to ask troubling questions, most of which have been implanted in my mind by this evil tent-mate. For instance, I am confused about the promised paradise and the reward for a martyr – I mean the promised 72 virgins…
Mullah. Yes, yes, go on. What about it?
Me. I hope you forgive me. But, with your permission, I will try and lump my questions about the 72 virgins. Would I be married to all 72 of them? I know that we are allowed four wives on earth and as many seeghe (temporary wives) as we wish or we can afford. In this accursed earth, not only I couldn’t afford one virgin for my wife, even a widow declined my parents’ proposal to marry me. Furthermore, I couldn’t even afford to have one seeghe. So, you understand that I am a healthy 26-year-old man and I find this promise most alluring to me…
Mullah. Yes, I understand. So what is the problem?
Me. Well, as I said, will all 72 of them be my wives? Would I be able to divorce one or all of them? Can I punish them if they misbehave, like women are wont to do? Having the same 72 virgins forever is a long long time. Could I get rid of them and get some new ones? Would I be able to choose my virgins from a lineup or will they be assigned to me, whether I like them or not? You see, Your Person, I hate to confess this. I have a hankering for a special kind of woman – the blue-eye-blonds, the infidel European and Americans. Would they be in heaven, would Allah make exceptions for them since they are so beautiful? Allah can make exceptions, the scripture says, “He does as he wills and ordains as he wishes.” The type of women I am talking about I have seen in a couple of movies are the ones who get my juices bubbling, pardon me for my impertinences Agha . I don’t care much for scrawny shriveled women like the ones in this village. See what I mean?
Mullah. Son, all these questions are irrelevant. Why do you think it is called paradise? It is just that, paradise. It means that you get your heart’s desire since you have earned admission to it.
Me. Thank you, thank you, Your Person. I knew that you would answer my questions satisfactorily. Now, the older of my sisters is 24 and not married. There is no suitor in sight and chances are that she will go to her grave virgin. She was seriously thinking about volunteering for the Martyr Brigade and going with me to Tehran. We talked about it and I told her about the 72 virgins that I will be getting. That was a mistake, I believe. She asked what she would get for her sacrifice. I had to wreck my brain to come up with an answer. I didn’t think that she would get 72 men. Because, Allah forbid and I do beg your forgiveness for what I am about to say next. If a woman serves 72 men that would be like a brothel, right, Your Person? That just doesn’t seem right and it is not very practical for one woman to satisfy the lust of 72 men. I told her that she would probably be one of the 72 virgins that another man would get since given the shortage of men in this village and our poverty she is likely to go to the grave virgin anyway. She became furious and almost slapped me in the face.
Mullah. Yes. That’s women for you. They are so feeble and emotional. And at the slightest thing they get provoked and become completely irrational— best not to engage them in any serious discourse. They are childlike, even when they are old. For this reason, Allah has ordained in the Quran that men are rulers over women. Women are not equal to men. Women need wise and strong rulers to keep them in line. Otherwise, the whole world would be ruined. Besides, what if women don’t like what they get? The scripture says that a woman’s testimony in the court of law is worth half of that of a man’s, no prophet of Allah has been a woman, no Imams has been a woman, no Ayatollah, not even a mullah has ever been a woman. They just have to know their rank and their place and be grateful to men who care for them, support them and feed them.
Me. Excuse my impertinence Your Person, but my mother is a woman and she is by far more rational, calmer, and wiser than my father. How could that be if women are by design inferior, emotional, and childlike and need men to manage them?
Mullah. Son, you are showing signs of wavering in your faith. These are not my sayings; they are the scripture, the very words of Allah himself. Tonight say extra prayers and repent. I, for my part, shall pray for you so that you do not succumb to the whisperings of the accursed Satan.
Me. Thank you, thank you a thousand times Your Person. But the trouble is with my brain. It keeps raising all kinds of questions. For instance, this tent-mate of mine once asked me, “Why Imam Jafar is called ‘the Truthful?’ Was it because the other eleven Imams were liars?” See how troubling the question can be. I told him that the other Imams must have practiced ketman (secretiveness) and taqiyya (denying) in instances that could cause trouble. They were not actually liars. They exercised wisdom and practiced what is prescribed in the scripture. Am I correct Your Person?
Mullah. Yes and no. You are correct that the Pure Imams were not liars. Yet, it is not up to you to judge the Pure Imams in any way that impugns their character and life. It is not up to you to justify what the Prophet or the Pure Imams did. They are in a special realm of Allah and they are not subject to the same rules that govern us, the sinful mortals.
Me. Yes, yes Your Person. That answers great many of my questions. Studying the Sunna baffled me about some of the things the Prophet did. In his late fifties, for instance, the Prophet married the nine-year-old daughter of his friend and best disciple. No ordinary man of that advanced age should bed down with a tender child of nine. Right?
Mullah. Son, I see that you are a troubled soul. Your faith is tested…
Me. But Your Person, Allah has given me a brain to think with and I cannot help but think about things. If I do not use my brain, then what good is it? Why Allah gave me brains in the first place if I am not to use it?
Mullah. Yes, Allah has given you brains to use it to serve him, love him and obey him and follow the dictates of the Seal of the Prophets. Yet, there is a price to pay for the gift of the brains. It is, unfortunately, the very instrument that the accursed Satan infiltrates to plant seeds of doubt, lead you astray and destroy your faith. I see pieces of evidence of this in your questioning.
Me. Your Person, I beg you to forgive me. You are right indeed. It is the accursed Satan who takes over me, manipulates my thoughts and enflames me. You have been so kind and indulging that I find it in me to ask a few more questions that really trouble me. And since I am headed for the next world, I want to arrive there with absolute certitude about our holy faith and its teachings…
Mullah. I have other urgent matters to attend to them. Please speak up and let us be done.
Me. Yes, yes. I will get to the point directly, but first I beg your forgiveness for this very question is a shameful one. As you recall, my late cousin Ghasem, blessed with his soul, was killed in a religious mission. Our very own Ayatollah declared him a martyr and the government pays his parents a monthly stipend for it. You, yourself, during his burial, proclaimed him a martyr and assured us all that he was in heaven already…
Mullah. Yes, yes. I thought that you were going to get to the question. I need not be reminded of all these preliminaries. What is the question?
Me. Well, I was a lad when they brought his body to the village for burial. My father and uncle asked me to help with the washing of his body before burial. I noticed that although much of his chest and head were seriously injured, his instrument was fully intact.
Mullah. Yes?
Me. Well, how should I say this? Fine, my question is how my martyred cousin, blessed with his soul, is going to partake from the 72 virgins if his instrument was buried with the rest of his body. I saw it with my own eyes that it was buried. Would they issue him a new instrument in paradise? If he is not issued a new instrument, he would most likely sit around, sigh in frustration, and weep bitterly for eternity. That would be true hell, not paradise.
Mullah. Son, you have not only a questioning mind that the accursed Satan has completely taken over, you have a mind that is fixated on sex. You are in dire trouble and in great need of spiritual rehabilitation.
Me. Yes, Your Person. You are correct as always. But, sex is important to healthy men. Is it not for this reason that the Prophet himself had numerous wives, that Muslims are allowed four wives and many Seeghe? And you, yourself, have four wives and reportedly partake of Seeghe on your biannual journey to the shrine of Imam Reza?
Mullah. Now, you have exceeded my patience with your vulgarity. I demand that you take your filthy self out of my presence at once before I have you lynched for blasphemy.
Postscript
I ran out of the Mullah’s house as if the devil himself was after me and left the village in the dead of night fearing the wrath of the powerful mullah. It may be that Satan has taken over my brain and it is he who is raising these blasphemous questions. But even my donkey has a mind of its own and did not always do what I wanted it to do.
Am I less than a donkey to blindly believe and obey what others say? I did not even scratch the surface of the mounds of questions that I have. Why, for instance, our Mullah can have four wives and comfortable life built on the sweat and blood of us destitute villagers? We have to pay Khums (Tithe, one-fifth) of our meager earnings? We have to give Zakat (religious contributions) and even gladly offer our life when they demand it. They have their paradise here on earth, thanks to the servitude of fools like us while giving us phony promises as compensation in the afterlife. I have changed my mind about joining the Martyrs Brigade, until such time that some religious authority can give satisfactory answers to all my questions.
My Satan-possessed mind advises all young men and women to beware of the mullahs. They are wolves in sheep’s garbs.

It used to be you couldn’t investigate a commie without the progs calling it another unjust McCartheyesque blacklisting smear campaign. They’d say we don’t have Russians hiding in the bushes, but now they can’t stop saying we do.
Everything is a Russian disinformation campaign. Their political opponents are all working with Russian operatives. I guess this is what Clinton meant by the Obama Era Russia Reset. It was, after all, her campaign that created the Stelle dossier alleging Russian collusion and election interference.
Funny how Hollywood never caught on to that lie. They so love to remind us how they were targets which is ironic. The Biden Administration has made it clear that political satire is punishable by fines and imprisonment, no matter where you claim to stand politically.
Three weeks ago, the Department of (in)Justice indicted Omali Yeshitela, Penny Joanne Hess, Jesse Nevel, and Augustus C. Romain Jr. Their crime? They are reportedly black leftists who opposed the war in Ukraine using memes and other communications on the internet. DOJ alleges three Russians funded them.
A federal grand jury in Tampa, Florida, returned a superseding indictment charging four U.S. citizens and three Russian nationals with working on behalf of the Russian government and in conjunction with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) to conduct a multi-year foreign malign influence campaign in the United States. Among other conduct, the superseding indictment alleges that the Russian defendants recruited, funded and directed U.S. political groups to act as unregistered illegal agents of the Russian government and sow discord and spread pro-Russian propaganda; the indicted intelligence officers, in particular, participated in covertly funding and directing candidates for local office within the United States.
Did you read the story yesterday about the US Intelligence Apparatus having a Congressionally funded disinformation investigation unit? You should. Then, read this from the DOJ on the indictment of Omali Yeshitela, Penny Joanne Hess, Jesse Nevel, and Augustus C. Romain Jr.
“Russia’s foreign intelligence service allegedly weaponized our First Amendment rights – freedoms Russia denies its own citizens – to divide Americans and interfere in elections in the United States,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “The department will not hesitate to expose and prosecute those who sow discord and corrupt U.S. elections in service of hostile foreign interests, regardless of whether the culprits are U.S. citizens or foreign individuals abroad.”
The feds have been spying on Americans illegally for years. Obama’s DOJ spied on opposing political opponents. We knew that. But now we have the “new” Foreign Malign Influence Center (FMIC)—the front group for the weaponized bureaucracies’ war on free speech.
The Federal Government will use its Russian/Foreign election interference narrative (as but one example) to fearmonger people from exercising their First Amendment Rights, and winning in court isn’t the point, even though pro-Trump Douglas McKay was sentenced to ten years in prison for election interference.
Cellmate: What are you in for?
McKay: Hillary Memes.
This Machine will, moving forward, find targets of opportunity. Look for examples to be made. And as we’ve long warned, being on the Left will not protect you.

Where is the reading? And where’s the age-appropriate consideration for curriculum?
In the included images, we see the conference agenda from the New Hampshire Library Trustees Association spring 2023 conference and annual meeting.
Even a casual review of the agenda will note that The keynote speaker’s topic for this year’s meeting and conference is fighting “censorship” thru library advocacy.
Why does my local library need to be involved in advocacy? It is also a pertinent question to ask, what do they consider to be censorship? Censorship is often a convenient label to push back against concerned parents and community members requesting age-appropriate content filtering so as not to expose our children to sexually graphic content.
You think they could have had a keynote speaker on how to work more cooperatively with community members on how to identify age-inappropriate curriculum in a respectful manner that still keeps pertinent ideas and information accessible in the public sphere.
It is also worth noting on the agenda that five out of the ten breakout sessions are diversity, inclusion, and equity related, but not a single one of the ten is related to reading.
We have millions of children who will struggle with developing basic reading habits and skills post-COVID shutdowns, and our local libraries are in a perfect position to fill that gap and help parents prepare their young learners for elementary education by contributing to improving their reading ability.
I see no such focus on this annual agenda.

Over at NH-NeverTrump Journal … the voice (some would say brain) of the NHGOP-Establishment … the obsession with a historical marker honoring a dead Communist continues. We have much, much, much bigger problems in New Hampshire than a historical marker for some Commie. The saying Nero fiddles while Rome burns applies … the NHGOP is fiddling while New Hampshire burns.
The two most important issues facing New Hampshire are (1) the brainwashing/sexualization of our children … DEI/CRT and grooming, and (2) the assault on our democracy … the ConVal education funding lawsuit.
Both of these issues represent the struggle of good against evil. But the NHGOP is too Low-T to say that … that will scare away the white women in Bedford; we’ve got to get them back in the fold. So I will say it AGAIN … DEI/CRT and grooming are EVIL. People who support brainwashing children with DEI/CRT and sexualizing children are actual, living COMMUNISTS. They are evil.
Some unelected judge presiding over a trial that to replace the education policy determined democratically, at both the State level and the local level, with his personal views of what constitutes an “adequate education” and how much that costs is an actual attack on our democracy. It is quasi-authoritarian. It is another manifestation of the Left’s EVIL.

The Hunter Biden laptop story tried to be at the center of the 2020 presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
Attempts to circulate the evidence exposing the Biden family for being, as Peter Schweitzer of the Government Accountability Institute at Stanford University, the most corrupt political family in America were thwarted by a collection of social media and intelligence community influencers who derailed it as “Russian disinformation.” This now ubiquitous labeling of anything the left wants to discredit by tying it to Russia has become paper thin cover, and thanks to the 624-page report by Marco Polo (MP), it is completely transparent.
Nearly three out of four Americans polled said “truthful reporting of the Hunter Biden laptop” would have changed the outcome of the 2020 election. We have obtained a copy of the report and are here to determine the truth as 2024 hangs in the balance.
Marco Polo touts itself as “a non-profit research group exposing corruption and blackmail to drive an American renaissance.” Their report is thorough to the point of painstaking accuracy, validated by expert analysts, authentic photographs, texts, and documents all put together in a systematic expose of the laptop’s contents. The only criticism we noticed is the apparent bias in the explanatory writing style of its authors. This bias, no doubt, can be used by critics to try and denigrate the report, however, our goal is to elucidate the facts that appear to reveal a pattern of corruption not unique to Hunter but his entire family. Don’t take it from us, however, you can look at the report here*.
(*The content in the report is of a highly sensitive and intended for an adult readership, and should not be viewed around children or anyone sensitive to sexually exploitative images. )
MP implicates the “DOJ, FBI and corporate media for gaslighting the public and accuses them of cowardice by avoiding federal law enforcement of what appears to be criminal activity on the part of members of the Biden family including the sitting president.”
The story begins with a computer repair shop owner named John Paul Mac Isaac. Mr. Isaac maintains Hunter Biden abandoned the device at his shop in Wilmington, DE beyond the point of safe keeping, at which point Isaac discovered the apparent criminal information, including what appeared to be sex trafficking and other felonies. Concerned he is in possession of illegal material he contacts F.B.I. child pornography agents . He is made to wait several weeks before being contacted.
The MP team indicates both F.B.I. agents scrubbed their online accounts around this time, with one agent having direct connections to Hunter Biden via a letter of recommendation given on behalf of the agent’s child to alma mater, St. Joseph’s in Philadelphia. This type of quid pro quo, if true, underscores the penultimate issue to the higher crimes, which is the ability of law enforcement to be bribed into not doing their tax payer funded jobs. Above those are the actual crimes and ability of America’s foreign enemies to use them as blackmail.
As a contextual note to this story they list numerous acts of American authorities who, like Hunter, recorded their criminal activity while in office for the public to discover:
Though it appears primarily members of the Democrat party who engage in these activities the behavior is bi-partisan. One recalls former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill) served 15 months in prison for sexually assaulting his minor students.
The question of authenticity is addressed by MP, citing two separate computer forensic specialists and their analysis. The first, former Secret Service agent Konstantinos “Gus” Demitrelos, was certified by the federal government. His credential is with the US Treasury CS2000 program. Now the CEO of US Cyber Forensics, his conclusion states:
“Based on my analysis and overwhelming data confirms Hunter Biden’s MacBook Pro was not hacked and the data contained in the hard drive is authentic…there was no manipulation of any photographs, emails, documents or other activities.”
The second expert analyst, Bradley Maryman of Mayman & Associates, specializing in computer systems and devices analysis, concludes:
“The operating system timestamps appear to be authentic, and no evidence was found to suggest that the timestamps were altered or manufactured…No indications were found that would suggest the data was manufactured.”
Two more F.B.I. agents are then implicated in “slow walking” the investigation. The first, a Supervisory Intelligence Analyst named Brian Auten, also played a central role in the Russia collusion/Steele dossier “hoax.” The second, Tim Thibault, retweeted a Lincoln Project tweet indicating animus toward President Trump, accusing him of being “psychologically broken, embittered and deeply unhappy…”
The chain of command that follows includes multiple agents and officials, including Inspector General Michael Horowitz and Trump AG Bill Barr, all in a position to act lawfully on behalf of the American people, choosing instead to ignore or obfuscate on behalf of the Biden family. Among their excuses were to “not interfere with an ongoing investigation” and “not…change the outcome of the election again”.
Upon election, Joe Biden appointed Nick McQuaid as chief deputy of the DOJ’s criminal investigations division, despite his being a colleague to Hunter’s attorney at Latham & Watkins. MP alleges this violates 28 CFR & 45.2 for failure to recuse himself.
MP also cites 18 USC & 4, which requires any person who has “knowledge of actual commission of a felony” must report it “as soon as possible” to “some judge or other person in civil or military authority.”
Further adding to the severity of this MP report are the pictures, ID cards, text and email exchanges, and official documents which verify the owner of the laptop to be Hunter Biden.
The second part of this three-part series will look at the major accusations levied by MP against the Biden family. They include business crimes involving international cohorts from Ukraine, China, Mexico, Serbia, Romania, and Kazakhstan, sexual crimes including human trafficking, and drug-related crimes now famously meme’d all over the internet.
Part three will consider the implications of federal and private entities positioned to violate the rights of the voting public, what this means looking ahead to the 2024 election, and what our current leadership indicates about us as a country.
For all of the alarm sounding by the establishment in media and DC, it appears the cries of foul play emanate from the very swamp then president Trump said he was hoping to drain.

In 2017 four (for lack of a better word) terrorists attacked Iran’s Parlament Building in Tehran, killing thirteen. A court in Iran has blamed this on ISIL, and America for ISIL’s involvement, including George Bush, CENTCOM (Tommy Franks), the CIA, and Barack Obama.
The building of the Iranian parliament and the mausoleum of the founder of Iran’s current establishment, Ruhollah Khomeini, were targeted during the daylight assault that killed 17 people in total.
The court ruled $9.95m needs to be paid to compensate for financial damages while $104m and $199m are for moral and punitive damages, respectively, with the total nearing $313m.
..
As to why the US is being blamed for the attacks, the website cited comments by American officials about the “fundamental” role played by the US in “organising and guiding terrorist groups,” news and information published by US media, and books and speeches by US officials discussing “the CIA’s role in creating terrorist groups,” including ISIL.
The judiciary also acknowledged the ruling comes as a response to numerous orders by US courts over the years that have blamed Iran for “terrorist” assaults, and ordered compensation paid from seized Iranian assets.
Iran blames the crisis of ISIS and ISIL on Bush, Obama, and the CIA, but none of those named has any known assets in the country, so Iran has no means by which to collect the compensation.
I beg to differ.
The Bamster Air dropped pallets of cash, which John Kerry admitted would end up in the hands of groups deemed terrorists. Under Obama, sanctions were eased or lifted, and we got the Iran Deal, allowing legal import and exchange of much-needed goods and services. There were lots of backdoor meetings peddled as diplomacy that was meant to shift power toward Persia. Democrats were even talking about going to the mattresses for Iran when Trump had Soleimani taken out.
Did you notice that Iran didn’t name Trump in any of this, even though the attack was in 2017?
Trump more or less took ISIS out, but he did not do Iran any favors. He restored sanctions and applied pressure such that, once Biden stumbled into the Oval Office, Iran demanded reparations for the hurt Trump put on the nation.
And so we have a pattern. Iran is a terror state whose people need to be freed, but Democrats appear comfortable with the totalitarians currently running the place (and the systemic abuse of women and LGBT folks).
Reparations that make no sense are in the air. Who knows, maybe Biden will toss them another taxpayer-funded bone. Or, he could ask his buddies in the Taliban to give them some of that military equipment he left next door in Afghanistan..

The history of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys has some odd turns, but the result was Vermont. It is a state that exists because of a militia that just banned militias.
Related: Slippery Meet Slope: Vermont Dems Pass Yet Another Gun-Grabbin’ Bill
Vermont on Monday made it a crime to own or operate paramilitary training camps in the state after Republican Gov. Phil Scott signed legislation introduced in response to a firearms training facility built without permits that neighbors called a menace.
Violators face up to five years in prison or a fine up to $50,000 or both, according to the law. It prohibits a person from teaching, training, or demonstrating to anyone else the use, application, or making of a firearm, explosive, or incendiary device capable of causing injury or death that will be used in or in furtherance of a civil disorder. It also bans a person from assembling with others for such training, instruction or practice.
According to the report, the law does not prohibit,
In other words, Vermont Democrats have created an incrementalist loophole in the law for redefining legal activity regarding firearms training.
To be clear, we accept that there are or may be individuals or groups who gather and train to do what Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys did beginning in 1770. A “militia organized to defend the property rights of local residents…”
They are also credited with stopping,
“… sheriffs from enforcing New York laws and terrorized settlers who had New York grants, burning buildings, stealing cattle, and administering occasional floggings with birch rods.
We are not condoning civil war or paramilitary interventions, but you can’t escape the irony. Given the current decline in rights, New York has clearly won control over the “land grants,” and modern Vermont Democrats mean to ensure things stay that way (politically), no matter how despotic their designs on power.
Make no mistake. This law will develop a case of mission creep in successive legislatures as progressive gun grabbers in Montpellier find new and exciting definitions for “legal activity” and “civil disorder.”
You can count on it.
And one more bit of irony. If ever the state has a need to contain or suppress an alleged militia, they can call on the Vermont Air National Guard for support – nicknamed ‘The Green Mountain Boys.’

Dear Ms. Fenton, Please review the following information attached to this email. Several parents in district SAU16 contacted me today regarding a PEAR survey that would be administered to students. The notification sent home indicates all children will take this mental health survey unless a parent or guardian notifies the district that they do not want their child to complete it.
It is my understanding that this kind of survey would fall under state law that requires informed consent before a child completes a non-academic survey.
From the PEAR website :
PEAR partners with schools and youth-serving organizations to drive positive youth development by improving mental health and program quality.
From the PEAR webinar on holistic assessment:
In addition, the video from PEAR includes information on how the Clover Framework and the holistic assessment are connected to mental health. That begins at 21:22.
Federal Law ESSA requires informed consent when schools administer mental health assessments. ESSA SEC. 4002. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
As you can see from the notice sent to parents, PEAR will be gathering the data in order to conduct research on the students. Basic ethical guidelines where research is involved also require informed consent.
A notification was sent to parents, but this would not meet the regulations that require informed consent.

As a thought exercise, let’s pretend that Denver’s 9th District City Council member Candi CdeBaca had just proposed the following idea. That Denver should tax black and brown businesses and give that money to white businesses.
“Instead of a bid collecting extra taxation from the white businesses that are struggling, you could be collecting those extra taxes from black and brown-led businesses all over the city and redistributing them to white-owned businesses, who are not part of the bid, or who are simply just white owned,” she said. “And that’s one way to give back in the business form fashion. I think when we talk about resources being returned, this is where consumer-owned or municipally-owned resources are important.”
Sounds racist. Here’s what she actually said.

In a colorblind world of equity, this is also racist, but the term colorblind has been deemed racist by racist supremacists of color. These folks are convinced that the correct response to past injustice, real or imagined, is a radical pendulum swing to the other extreme.
Sorry, I’m not down with the struggle unless the struggle is getting back to a world where what you say and do defines you.
Human rights, and natural rights, are colorblind. Those rights don’t care about your history or politics, and the minute you add color, you are no longer talking about either. You are the problem, not the solution, no matter the color, and increasingly Democrat.
The worst outcomes in America in education, employment, and even business are found in and around the Democrat-ruled urban plantations we call cities. All that money taxed over decades has done nothing for people of color and everything for the Democrats of all colors who have trapped them in a perennial misery they blame on everyone but themselves.
Broken families, poverty, crime, and the welfare cycle are all deliberate outcomes of Left-Wing policy. So yes, there are people of all colors who have been wronged by the past, but in the present, their biggest enemy is the Democrat party which is doing everything it can to get us all so pissed off at each other that we don’t notice they are to blame.

Gun control advocates in Texas are excited because a House panel has advanced a bill to raise the age at which you can buy an AR-15 from 18 to 21.
Of course, even if passed and signed into law, the law would be struck down. As Justice Thomas asked in Bruen, is there another fundamental right where we could require this kind of restriction on its exercise?
Could we keep you from attending church until you turn 18?
Could we set the age at which you can exercise free speech to 21?
Could we say that government agents are free to search your person, papers, or effects without a warrant until you reach age 30?
For that matter, do you lose any of those rights just because you have been convicted of a felony?
A huge amount of crime is committed by children born to young mothers out of wedlock and by the children of people who have committed crimes themselves.
So could we say that you are not allowed to have a child unless you’re 25 years old, married, have passed a training course, and have never been convicted of a felony? Could we limit the number of children you have to eliminate ‘high capacity households’? Could we make you surrender your children to the authorities in case of divorce or conviction?
Some legislator should introduce that last set of restrictions as a bill — the Assault Children Ban — just to collect sound bites from the people who would oppose it. Especially when you mirror their own arguments back to them:
Why should we care about your rights, when you’ve been very clear about articulating your belief that safety is more important than rights? Keep in mind that one hundred percent of crimes are committed by people whose parents had children. Even if most children are never convicted of a crime, can we afford, as a society, to have people bearing and keeping assault children without proper safeguards in place?
Then we could play those sound bites as testimony at future hearings on new gun control laws.
