By now, anyone who’s not politically asleep at the wheel ought to know that the American Library Association (ALA) is no friend of any community of decent people.  Please talk to people like Beth Scaer and her husband or Rep Arlene Quaratiello or Cindy Bennett if you want to learn more.

Covid has taught many of us that the decision-making behavior of lower levels of government is often yoked to grant money from either higher levels of government or NGOs with intentions repugnant to the values of decent people.  That’s a big part of why secession is a topic worthy of polite and meaningful discussion, no matter how you, the reader, feel about it.

Though I think I’ve beaten the dead horse enough, I’ll still point out that 11/19/21’s unfortunate event in the Joint Fiscal Committee was about taking the wrong money, but let’s move on with another quick point.  Campaign finance data is popularly sought for obvious reasons.

Moving on, let the readers be reminded of the role and responsibilities of the executive council, and Wheeler has two bad actors from the enemy camp primarying each other to become his November opponent.  One of them is Alderman Kelly, his previous opponent, and the mayor’s lap dog. While she is equally unworthy of office, ANY office, let’s, for now, focus on her opponent, Ms Melanie Levesque.

I know some eyes are already rolling, but to that, I will point out a few things with the lesser one being that her birthday is coming up this month.  If you happen to run into her, by all means, wish her a happy one.  And I would also suggest reminding her that Alderman Kelly, Wheeler, and Kevin are all younger than her and always will be!  The other item, though for the attention of ALL Wheeler constituents, is a local matter concerning her because it’s about the Brookline library.

If you poke around enough to learn who the power players, um, I mean “trustees,” are, they are no ordinary members of the enemy camp.  While data in Marylyn Todd’s Nosey Neighbor App is not necessarily admissible in a court of law, it’s another example that the Party of Diversity has no diversity of thought in the Board of Trustees.  Trustee Carol Schreck, whose term ends next year, can also be found here.

All you have to do is see who the captain of the team is and who her right-hand woman is!  “So what,” you might say.  I received a tip about Ms Melanie’s apparently relentless interest in “utilizing” a local with some physical challenges, to put it respectfully.  It was said that family members claim the existing accommodations that the library currently provides are perfectly acceptable. However, as mentioned earlier, now comes the ALA and some free money that the Brookline library might qualify for. They just need an excuse to apply for it. Family members are keenly aware of their flesh and blood being used as a tool.  If Melanie is successful in securing that grant money, it’s as guaranteed as death and taxes that there will be a press release promoting her accomplishment just before it’s time to vote, either in the primary or in November.

There are variables, such as how long the paperwork process takes and who wins their primary, but the voters in District 5 should know that Alderman Kelly pushing for federal grant money bringing commuter rail to Nashua or Melanie pushing for ALA money infusing their agenda into the Brookline library are the kind of grant-chasing behavior that needs to be kept out of the government body who’s responsible for the oversight of the movement of YOUR money.

We have been so blessed with op-eds and content that for the rest of today, we will be publishing a post every hour. Typically we add new content every two hours, beginning at 6 am and ending at 10 pm each day. Today, we are publishing a lot of additional content.

Beginning at 2pm we will have a new post ever hour on the hour. The purpose is to off-load the backlog of submissions.

If they sit in the folder too long, they might time out (no longer relevant) or might never see the light of day (lost in the shuffle). It happens. I can’t publish everything, but very little of what I get isn’t at least worth sharing to see what the community thinks.

So here we go, and apologies in advance for the firehouse.

Tomorrow (Monday), we will go back to the regular schedule.

And hey! Happy Mothers Day!

(TU – Londonderry) The Town of Londonderry has dismissed a complaint by Kristine Perez against Councilor Farrell, stating that Councilor Farrell did not violate the ethics code. Kristine Perez filed the following complaint:

On 4/22/24 at approximately 8 PM Councilman John Farrell exited the Moose Hill Conference room from the rear exit. He immediately approached me and in aggressive manner, pointed his finger directly in my face and yelled “Go ahead report me to the AG’s office. Bring it on bring it on” he then entered the men’s lavatory and when he exited, he again yelled “Bring it on, bring it on” waving his arms in the air. I responded, “you’re being an ass” to which he stated “you’re the ass just look in the mirror.” Please review the video tapes from the town hall, “Back lot, hall entrance B” for this time period.  I felt extremely threatened by his aggressive actions and feel it meets the legal definition of assault without battery.

Complaint filed 5/3/2024 by Kristine Perez

The complaint stemmed from an interaction Perez had with Councilor John Farrell in the Town Hall after speaking during public comment.

Kristine Perez spoke at the 4/22/2024 Town Council Meeting asking for public comment to be added to the Town Council meetings, concerns of charter violations and the planning department reorganization.

Below is a video of the interaction between Kristine Perez and Councilor John Farrell. The video has no audio. Councilor John Farrell was contacted for comment but did not respond.

Video from Town Hall, 4/22/2024

Shortly after opening the 5/6/2024 Town Council Meeting, the council made a motion to enter Non-Public Secession under RSA 91A. The Council left the room and returned 7 minutes later. The council did not seal the meeting minutes. The Council also did not comment on the non-public session. According to the meeting minutes, the session was to discuss the complaint filed by Kristine Perez. The Town attorney “assumed the truth of the allegations” but found that Kristine Perez “does not allege conduct that would violate the Code of Ethics or fall within the scope of the Code of Ethics”. Chairman Chad Franz entertained a motion made by Vice Chairman Combes to close the matter with no further action based on the findings and advice supplied by Attorney Carrier. Councilor Faber seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously, with Councilor Farrell abstaining.”

 

Minutes from Non-Public Session on 5.6.24
Following the pledge of allegiance during the regularly scheduled Town Council meeting on 5.6.24, a motion was made by Vice Chairman Combes to enter a non-public session pursuant to RSA 91:A-3 II(l) for the consideration of legal advice provided by legal counsel. It was seconded by Councilor Dunn and a roll call vote was taken, with each member of the Town Council voting in favor.

All 5 members of the Council left the Moose Hill Room and moved to the TM Conference room on the second floor of Town Hall along with the Town Manager and Assistant Town Manager.

Attorney Megan Carrier indicated she had reviewed the Code of Ethics complaint made by Kristine Perez against Councilor Farrell, which had been received by the Town Manager and Chairman Franz on May 3, 2024 and referred by them to Attorney Carrier. She stated she reviewed the Code of Ethics, which requires complaints to be investigated. For purposes of her analysis, Attorney Carrier assumed the truth of the allegations. Having done so, she concluded that Ms. Perez’s complaint does not allege conduct that would violate the Code of Ethics or fall within the scope of the Code of Ethics. She provided a list of prohibited conduct, including conflicts of interest, a failure to recuse in quasi-judicial actions, a failure to disclose, unfair personal use of town property, misuse of confidential information, improper gifts, and failure to cooperate with an investigation. Attorney Carrier indicated that Ms. Perez does not allege such prohibited conduct in her complaint.

Chairman Franz entertained a motion made by Vice Chairman Combes to close this matter with no further action based on the findings and advice supplied by Attorney Carrier. Councilor Faber seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously, with Councilor Farrell abstaining. Chairman Franz asked the Town Manager what the next steps are? The Town Manager indicated the minutes would be unsealed unless the Council makes a motion to seal them upon returning to public session. A discussion followed whether to seal Attorney Carrier’s advice. The Council determined that neither the minutes nor Attorney Carrier’s advice should be sealed.

At approximately 7:10 p.m. the Councilors returned to the Moose Hill Chambers and the meeting.

A motion was made by Vice Chair Combes to end the non-public session and return to the public meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilor Faber and all voted in favor by roll call vote.
Minutes taken and prepared by: Mike Malaguti

When public comment was opened Councilor Farrell immediately asked to speak and addressed comments made at prior town council meetings. Farrell referenced the alleged charter violation in regard to voting on the town budget. Farrell stated that the town council does not adopt or vote on the budget.

Please be advised the Town has investigated your complaint and determined that Councilor Farrell did not violate the Code of Ethics during your interaction on April 22, 2024.

Email from Town Manager Malaguti, 5/8/2024

Asked for comment, Kristine Perez stated that she did not file an ethics complaint but used the ethics form since it was the only form available on the town to file a complaint. The complaint filed was due to threatening and aggressive behavior of Councilor Farrell.

The Last Refuge: Long time CTH reader “Regitiger” has spent a great deal of time reviewing the entire process, looking at the granular timeline and then overlaying the bigger picture of the constitutional and parliamentary process itself. What follows below... Tom Bowler

Grokster Ed’d in March, pointed out how WMUR’s Political Director Adam Sexton believed it was “interesting” when NH State Senator Becky Whitley had a hissy fit when someone said something that broke her Narrative concerning the use of the perfectly legal and applicable  phrase “illegal alien.”

Interesting discussion in @TheNHSenate Judiciary Committee today as @BeckyWhitleyNH asks @SenatorGannon not to use the term “illegal alien” as they debate a bill dealing with immigration issues #NHPolitics #WMUR pic.twitter.com/xodktsXknh

— Adam Sexton (@AdamSextonWMUR) March 12, 2024

He followed that up in another post, “The Becky Whitleys Are The Dehumanizers,” where he tore her a new one—outlining her hypocrisy of holding up a “Principle” but in “defending” it, jumped right into the vat of boiling excrement. She certainly refused to “maintain the dignity of every individual with whom we interact” by putting on a “Karen on steroids” performance. Civility, Becky? But WAIT, there’s more!

But I didn’t see or hear of anyone commenting on the last bit she said. Listen again at 1:05 for what is in our future if she is elected:

“The Administration has actually issued many memos, including from the top official of Customs and Border Protection, that we should not be using that term.”

Got that?  She’s like that old-time spinster school marm wrapping our knuckles because we refuse to obey.

In doing so, she let us know that she’s all about doing the “Democrat Lockstep Limbo”…

SideNote: Dontcha just love the visual of bending over backward to support the indefensible by allowing her own speech to be determined by some “important” bureaucrat – who happens to be in charge of keeping our southern border open to the diseased, the drug mules, the armed cartels, and the thousands of central and south American gang members (remember the cops being assaulted in NYC by our, as Biden and other Democrats have named, “newcomers”?)

…her philosophy. Her gums flapping, eyes blazing, and determination to correct our backward ways made it quite clear that her fellow “mansplaining” Senators were beneath her contempt. But we are to have our wallets fleeced by these criminals that flout our laws – after all, being an AWFL (Affluent White Female Liberal) demands that her morality is superior to any others.

“Everything is free in America” – except your speech if you are a citizen paying the taxes for all that. Becky is seeing to that as well. But she can’t take credit for being original for that.

Guess who, in the Live Free or Die State, is in charge of what speech we all are allowed to use in Her Excellency’s hearing? No, not her, although she tried hard to be a mouthpiece for the Democrat propaganda machine. Yep, see above.

You see, I’ve been writing for years that the Democrats have been trying to turn Live Free or Die into Washington DC Democratland; what happens there, they want here.

So remember, when government officials, be they Democrat government workers or a Progressive / Socialist / Democrat Guv named Becky Whitley, BY DEFINITION, you are seeing a Fascist. After all, fascism puts the State FIRST and individuals don’t exist. She gave us the best example possible…

…She demanded that individuals bow down to DC, give up their speech, and in doing so, give up their minds and conscience to the State.

And the Left gets upset when we on the Right talk about Tyrannical Govt? How bad can it get if they demand to control, as she did, our minds?

Yes, I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel and it wasn’t an oncoming train.  I announced at last year’s Groktoberfest that I was going into semi-retirement because I had to step back from the ‘Grok and place my family first for a while. I handed all the reins over to Steve.

Fortunately, the medical issues that best TMEW and the Grandson are now under control, and the Granddaughter / Foster Child has been returned to the Eldest and Daughter-in-Law, with two lines (from others) said by DCYF workers:

• “This should have NEVER gone to court” (e.g., the parents weren’t the problem – the child was, and now DCYF is supplying that needed help at home.)
• “I think we picked on the wrong family”; ya think putting me on the stand on a whim was a great idea after I had wargamed out a bunch of scenarios for a couple week AND you failed to follow The Lawyer’s Maxim of “Never ask a question of a witness that you already don’t know the answer”?

Yeah, I have to say that it was one of the BEST DAYS of my life. The Judge, however, was not amused.

So all that is now in the background and I will be starting to return to writing (slowly). However, know that Steve will still hold the reins.

Over one hundred and twenty colleges and universities across the United States and the world saw the planning of spontaneous protests this past month and with it the staunch capitalists at NCAA headquarters seized the opportunity to form a new sports league.  The league will be named the Collegiate Radical Interscholastic Protest League (CRIPL) and will be the first ever truly trans-ed sports team endeavor by the NCAA.

Inspired by the tremendous athleticism on display by many of the protestors, NCAA officials, anticipating these protests to occur regularly every four years like the Olympics and presidential elections, anticipate three seasons of preparatory play with a national championship held quadrannually.

Early favorites among the schools clearly show an edge to the Ivy League institutions, which have been falling lately in the rankings as preferred destinations by high school students concerned about employment after college. Early odds favor Columbia, UPenn, and Dartmouth as having the talent to go the distance, while on the West Coast, UCLA has emerged after weeks of high-level civil unrest.

Boston’s Emory Board University, famed for its Cosmetology Ph.D. program, has already hit the ground marching, meeting on the greens outside the quad for daily singles. These dedicated student-athletes are up at the crack of noon to hone their skills and take their game to the next level.

Questions about funding the teams and the league have many concerned that other programs will need to be cut however, sizeable donations have already been offered to create a trust fund from which the schools will get equal compensation across the board so as to create a perfectly fair and socially equitable pay scale disallowing advantages given to larger programs.  However some students anticipating a career as professional protestors argue their future hopes and dreams should not be limited.

“I’ve been protesting since I was a little kid, so I’ve always known this was my passion.  I never imagined I would have the opportunity to do it for a living,” states Yale freshman Uriah Goldenspoon.  Goldenspoon’s parents tell Bananas Media he was a uniquely anti-authoritarian child despite being given virtually anything and everything a child could want.  Mrs. Goldenspoon recalls one summer vacation when Uriah refused to get on the plane to Cancun after throwing a stage five tantrum in the jetway upon learning he would not be flying coach with the rest of the patrons, many of whom applauded after seeing Uriah buckled into his first-class seat.

“We knew pretty early on he was likely to be an insurgent somewhere in the third world when we got a call from his teacher saying he was community organizing the other students to stage a revolt after the school refused to put in electric chargers for tricycles” Mr. Goldenspoon recounted.  “We also found a stash of books under his bed when he was eight.  First, it was Mao’s Little Red Book.  Then we found Rules for Radicals and, finally, Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit.  I’m forty-eight, and I still can hardly make out what those guys were saying.  We got him a poster of Brittany Spears in a bathing suit only to have him paste a picture of Che Guevara’s head over hers.  It was very concerning.”

Not concerned are Goldman’s non-student coaches, who anticipate that his ability to break through a police line with a garbage can lid is unparalleled.

“Uriah has serious quick-twitch muscles, he’s very explosive.  Since the league won’t let us use actual explosives, he’s a game changer.  Most of the guys we have out here are severely malnourished vegans who can barely get through the ‘hey-hey ho-ho’ chants, so we’re hoping Uriah doesn’t get picked up in the portal before the championship season.  We know the comrades over at Georgetown have been courting him online with an extra-large tent and a fully-financed waterbed.”

Speaking of water beds the SEC has one school, North Georgia State, which will be headed up by a coaching legend.  His simple philosophy of “ground and pound” is sure to get the attention of the more finesse driven styles of the other schools.

“I’m here to build character” states the coach who famously has a corner booth at Beef O’Brady’s where he needs help opening the door due to the number of championship rings he wears on his turning hand.

Rivals Alabama State School for the Legally Blonde have asked his coaching nemesis to captain their squad; however, they were turned down as no self-respecting southerner would be caught dead at a college protest.  ‘Merica!

Many of the teams were concerned about mascots, of course, so the race for inoffensive team names was a heated one.

The NCAA pre-season top ten rankings are:

1. UCLA Street Rats
2. Columbia Counter-Insurgents
3. U Penn Pennophiles
4. Dartmouth Big Green New Dealers
5. North Georgia State Notaries
6. Cal-Berkeley Commissars
7. Portland State Queers
8. Evergreen State Sociopaths
9. University of Chicago Community Organizers
10. (tie) University of Delaware Dispensers
11. (tie) University of Texas Tackling Trannies

Progressive politicians have taken over Maine and are making the most of their time in power. These people, who live on the extreme left of society, know that the clock is ticking, and they must initiate as much change as they can before the people realize they were wrong, giving these people the wheel and taking it away.

In their time in Augusta, they have legalized marijuana, paved the way for thousands of illegal migrants to come to Maine, passed the most liberal abortion law in the country, established Maine as a sanctuary state for abortion and transgender care, and moved Maine into the top slot of the most taxed states in America.

Because of the size of Maine and the shortage of law enforcement personnel to keep it secure, the Progressives have made the state a perfect environment for the Chinese cartel to infiltrate and establish hundreds of illegal pot farms. They are imposing restrictions on the lobster industry, making it difficult for these hard-working seamen to make a living in one of the state’s oldest industries while relaxing the enforcement of laws, making it easier for illegal residents to survive and prosper.

Aside from the apparent drop in quality of life for Mainers, one of the most harmful elements of the new Leftist direction is the precipitous decline in the quality of education. U.S. News has published its rankings of the states and looks at many elements that a person could use to determine the desirability of a state. In Maine’s case, it has dropped in the ranking of every aspect in 2024 compared to the state in 2018. This article was not good news for Maine but terrible news for the Progressives who think their vision is the proper choice for the future.

The ranking for education in Maine is not good news for Governor Mills, the state Department of Education, the Progressive Party implementing the changes in education, or the students shortchanged by the system. I acknowledge that the pandemic occurred during this time, but it is a constant in all states. The ranking of Maine’s quality of education dropped from 19th in 2018 to 43rd in 2024—a fall from the top half of states to nearly the worst. Although Maine’s overall education is not dead last, U.S. News did rate the state’s public schools as the worst in the nation, following an overview of all public schools in the country.

The news outlet ranked schools based on six metrics, including college readiness, which is weighted heaviest, student performance in advanced, college-level classes, performance on standardized tests, and the graduation rate. The outlet also used one Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) metric to measure schools, ranking them based on the performance of “underserved students,” meaning low-income, black, and Hispanic students.

Two areas that showed promise are Equality and the Overall Environment, though the ranking was poor for air and water quality. Maine had ten times the number of water violations than the national average.

This article by U.S. News is a damning condemnation of the decisions and policies of the people responsible for these results, and those people are the WOKE and Progressives. We must replace these people before their impact affects another generation. The Progressive movement is misnamed and is actually regressive. Their goal is the destruction of America. There is no other option. They must be replaced.

On the steps of a court in downtown New York City, former President Donald Trump noted that the threat to the USA today is not from Russia or China or from the US political right. The threat is from the left. It is an internal threat from the US political left.

But what is the left? Who composes this group of people, and what do they represent?

By and large, they hide like wolves in sheep’s clothing. For starters, they have infested the Democrat Party. They are race baiters and woketards who think that by politicizing situations, it is both democratic and the best way forward. But who else is involved?

The left has infiltrated the military in the USA, NATO, and the UN intergovernmental organizations. They are people who are complicit and content with following a direction that secures their own positions while ruining many hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens’ lives. They tend to live in upper middle class or wealthier positions, so they do not see the damage that they are doing to their own countries.

These people are surrounded by non-US citizens— often foreigners. Leaders from other countries. The wealthiest, most affluent from other countries. Those people typically think in a way aligned with prevailing globalist ideals, which currently are self-destructive and decidedly unhealthy. Their mentality is zero-sum— when they benefit, others lose. This is not necessarily how reality works, but these people are too naive to see otherwise. So, their decisions benefit themselves and hurt those they see as political opponents.

So, the left, as it is called, constitutes largely Democrat Party members and foreign-associated US citizens. Who do these people associate with? Mostly they are influenced by other people in the West— Europe mostly, eapexially Western Europe. These are the internationally-minded folks in Western Europe— France, Britain, Germany, Spain, and other countries. Do you think that they are acting in the best interests of the USA or in their own best interests?

Europeans see the USA and its people with disdain. US citizens are mostly rowdy, fat, and belligerent. US politicians are tools. European aristocrats use the USA to generate and maintain conflicts so that they can profit. Keep in mind that Europe is a very aristocratic place. That’s why the Puritans and others left to settle in the Americas—so they could build above the glass ceilings in Europe established by the bourgeoisie.

And what about others across the planet? Outside of Europe, few countries have respect anymore for the USA. Washington’s decades of international subterfuge, military escapades, and politicization have cost the USA dearly. China, Iran, Russia, and other countries are happy to see the USA in decline, especially if they can control that decline and profit from it, as is unfolding under the Biden junta.

It is possible for the US to recover, but the leftist political caste must thrown off. They benefit nobody except for themselves.

For the most part, leftists are obsessed with winning the favor of billionaires and supposedly exotic foreign governments. That means they are easily manipulated, and they are. It means they can be easily swayed to pursue agendas if they think it will be popular. The US left has fallen victim to devious political maneuvering. They have been psyched out. They are compromised.

This is why the drain the swamp campaign is so important. The US government is full of sycophants who think that attaining power occurs when they win the favor of the wealthy. In turn, this has led to their selling out their entire county to idiotic and moronic ideas.

It is time to abandon the US Left. Don’t feel sorry for them. They will recover. And maybe they’ll abandon their bad ideas and find better ones.

Maybe.

The US State Department and a short list of named co-conspirators are being sued for “engaging with and promoting censorship technology designed to bankrupt domestic media outlets with disfavored political opinions.”

It asks the court “to declare the State Department’s attempt to interfere with domestic speech illegal and to permanently bar it from developing, promoting, or encouraging bothers to use technology to de-amplify, shadow ban, or restrict “the lawful speech of the American press and Americans.”

Similar charges are mucking about the Judicial branch in cases against the FBI, CIA, and others. Still, anyone who hints at the shadows of penumbras of a conspiracy gets a tinfoil hat. They say there is no coordinated war within our government against the First Amendment. It is about public safety, about truth.

Generations of the product of public education mills have made people too stupid to know what they should know, and the government is here to help, which seems like a good time to share a quote from Albert J. Knock.

Like all predatory or parasitic institutions, its first instinct is that of self-preservation. All its enterprises are directed first towards preserving its own life, and, second, towards increasing its own power and enlarging the scope of its own activity. For the sake of this it will, and regularly does, commit any crime which circumstances make expedient.

The State Department asked that the case be dismissed (probably because they believe you would have to be stupid to sue them), but US District Judge Jeremy D. Kernodle denied the motion.

“Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press,” the order begins. “This provision enshrines ‘[o]ur profound national commitment to the free exchange of ideas.’ … Indeed ‘[i]f there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.’”

And while the plaintiffs may succeed, this is not a cure for what ails us. The problem is deeply rooted in the thing of which we on the right are so often accused: fascism.

Those of us fighting for free speech are labeled fascists, and yet it is they who are invested with corporate titans to control the production and dissemination of “information.” They are likewise aligned with giants in the financial sectors to control bank loans and investment – and increasingly in energy, health care, and now food and farming. Using force to affect a partisan interest that not coincidentally decreases access, individual liberty, and the ability to speak out against these transitions. That’s fascism, defended by speech-stifling anti-fascists (Like Antifa) whose end game is to get the burgeoning statist fascism to take one more step to the left. From the current information syndicalism cum modern Fascism to government ownership of not just the means of production but of all property, including your body, speech, and thought.

A state wherein the will of the bureaucracy is the law, a wall behind which the fascist politicians who enabled them may hide, claiming all along that they agree there is a problem, and as soon as you re-elect them, they’ll pretend to do something about it.

My mom was born on April 13, 1921. She grew up on a farm in Idaho. She knew from a very early age how to milk cows, fry up chicken, and plant and harvest potatoes and corn.

At the age of 18, she was the sole woman graduate of Walt Whitman College in Walla Walla , Washington. She majored in the German language and was so proficient that she was hired by the War Department in early 1940 to interpret German high command war messages.

When the Allies captured the E-MACHINE- a typewriter that allowed encrypted German messages to be de-coded-she was selected as one of five to work in a top-secret office decoding German war messages. She stayed in that position for the duration of the war and hoped to make a career doing the same job. When the war ended, her job ended and she was told that she was being replaced by a returning army officer- a man. She was told to go home and have babies, like a good woman should.

To a “modern” woman, these events would have proven the mantra of the time- that women were enslaved, second-class citizens, denigrated by a disgusting male power structure.

In the 1960’s, it was the time of the “sexual revolution”. The birth control pill was-according to the media-liberating women from a life of slavery, drudgery, male dominance, and control. New visions of what it meant to be a woman were emerging, all asserting that women were being liberated from a repressive society. Motherhood was being attacked as servile, degrading, and unworthy of a freedwoman.

My mom did not buy into any of this”nonsense.” Indeed, her outlook was the exact opposite. Being a woman, being a wife, and most importantly being a mom was the absolute highest calling. Being an employee of the war department was enslavement because it meant that her highest calling in this life was to play word games in German.

She looked out upon the universe and very much saw the hand of God in all that was visible and all that was not. She lovingly and with great love and admiration for the creator of the universe asked if he truly intended her to play those word games. The answer of course was that he really cared not for her job as an interpreter. “The creator of the universe” she would tell me “holds nothing more valuable than creation. And he gave me something that no man has, and nor ever can attain: he gave me the power and the ability and the desire to create with him the new life he so values.

At a very early age, I remember her telling me that it is in being a mom, in creating and sustaining a family that she was truly free.

Not the freedom to burn your bra or dance naked in a bar. She called that freedom for chaos.

By Freedom, my mom meant “FREEDOM FOR EXCELLENCE.”

If you give a teenage boy a set of golf clubs, take him to a PGA golf course, hand him a ball, and tell him to tee off, he has the freedom to do that very deed. But, without instruction, training, and guidance, his freedom is freedom for chaos: he will slice, shank, and divot the hell out of the course. He will never however play Golf.

If you, however, teach him over weeks, months, and years the game of golf, the techniques to play well, and if you instill in him the discipline needed to be a PGA-level golfer, he will have a very different kind of freedom. He will have the freedom to play the game the way it was meant to be played. He will have the freedom to drive the ball 300 yards to just the right position in the fairway; the freedom to hit his second drive onto the green; and the ultimate freedom of sinking that birdie putt that you have never been able to hit. He will, in short, have the FREEDOM FOR EXCELLENCE.

It is in Motherhood that my Mom felt she had her best chance for such Freedom. She knew in her heart that if she worked very hard at being the best mom she could be, if she disciplined herself to place motherhood above all other values, and if she developed the good and needed skills all good moms have, she would achieve the excellence in her life that would enable her to be truly free to the very best person her God meant her to be. And she would be a freedom fighter in his world.

My mom achieved that excellence. From a very early age, I remember how truly dedicated she was to developing in herself the “excellence” of being a mom. From the relatively trivial (she got up very early every day to make me oatmeal for breakfast. Eggs on Sunday. Brown sugar on payday. She made me my lunch- peanut butter and grape jelly- and always put a note telling me to do my best) to the far more substantial( she taught me the classics-Aristoltle, Socrates, Plato. By fifth grade, I was reading Charles Dickens, Shakespeare, and Chaucer) she was dedicated to creating, nurturing and sustaining the family she knew God meant her to have.

She came to my football games. She watched me hit home runs on my baseball team. She was my source of wisdom, careful thought and devotion to civility. I guess more importantly she taught me true Christian love. She was the most Christian person I ever met. She taught me to love family, to lovingly participate in family dinners, family holidays, and she taught me to place family above all else.

She worked as hard as anyone I ever met to being the very best mom and grandmom she could be. She strived for “mom”excellence and her mission was to not only give me life thru birth but to nurture me into being the man that she felt God wanted me to be.

She did her job 24/7. She never relented but always worked with me trying her very best to develop in me excellence in my thoughts, words, and deeds. ( That is not a comment about me, but about her and who she was. She strived for excellence in being a mom.)

As my mom approached the end of her life, she told me her prayer: that her death would be a peaceful one. I remember telling her:”Mom, it will be more than peaceful. For all that you have given to me, to our family, God must be smiling.”

To me, she died a truly free woman, brought there by her commitment to achieving the highest calling she knew God gave her: Being a partner with him in creating new life and nurturing the souls of his sons and daughters. HER FREEDOM WAS NOT THE FREEDOM OF CHAOS BUT THE TRUE FREEDOM GAINED ONLY BY EXCELLENCE.

When I met my wife, when I first looked into her eyes, I was filled with wonder. I saw beauty on many levels. I was filled with the thought that I had met the woman I wanted to marry.

Of all that I saw though, what I was most struck by was that I saw in my wife the same thought of motherhood that I had seen in my mom. She found greatness, not poverty, in creating life. She found joy in family and all that it entailed. Being a good mom, and achieving excellence in the life of her children, gave her the same freedom my mom had. I don’t know anyone who is as free in their thoughts and their beliefs than my beautiful wife- for she has found the freedom God gave her by achieving the excellence of being a mom to her children.

So too my daughter and my two wonderful daughters-in-law. Each has followed their own path; each has achieved their own life. But, somehow, someway each developed the same notion as my mom: Momhood is life; is excellence; is freedom to be the absolute best person they could ever be.

As I stated in the title, I am going to celebrate Mother’s Day and there is nothing you can do to stop me. And I will fight anyone who wants to take away from my mom, my wife, and my wonderful daughters their desire to achieve the FREEDOM TO BE EXCELLENT.

I say HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to them, and to every mom out there who strives mightily day and night to achieve the same excellence and the same FREEDOM.

God bless Momhood.God bless the moms who find freedom in being excellent.

Julie Smith suggests on Thursday that New Hampshire follow Nebraska and have a single legislative chamber, presumably our lower House, and do away with the Senate.

She mentions my proposal Tuesday, that New Hampshire follow part of Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies and let voters select a Senator by specifying our philosophy or party rather than picking a specific nominee.

Julie’s column is mostly about the Senate’s corruption, in which a right-thinking Senator gets “chilled” or “steamrolled.” The Senator acquiesces — or is frightened by the publicity of a roll-call vote — as a good bill is killed or a bad bill is passed, tucked inside a unanimous, anonymous Consent Calendar.

Now, wait. On the one hand, there is too much publicity, and on the other hand, there’s too much secrecy. And by the way, the House also has roll calls, Consent Calendars, and whips to remind his party’s Reps of the painful consequences of leaving the Hive. (The pressure is why two from each party became Libertarians last session, where they had no pressure and thus no theme, only a date with election oblivion.) And what about the concealment when a hundred good bills (including limitations on future States of Emergency) were bundled into the Budget Companion Bill? None of us demanded separate bills, one issue per bill, as we tend to do, because we and our Reps knew that the Governor would veto each of them; he couldn’t veto HB-2.

Julie says that it’s easier to be true to yourself and your constituents in a sea of 399 other Reps, but my part of the state is only interested in two of them, and none of their public acts are made hard to follow by the size of the House. Does Senate “corruption” simply mean the author’s opinions often don’t prevail?

I can accept Julie’s proposal of a unicameral New Hampshire General Court, though there is a benefit to having two chambers, even if we apportion them in an identical way. A chamber leader’s strong will, or even personal whims, and sessions in which Republicans run one house and Democrats the other make it harder for both chambers to enact identical text, and that is a safeguard.

Julie, what do you say about my proposal — Keep the Senate but make it structurally different from the House to reflect philosophies rather than our geography? Nothing. Over to you!

I got to know Spec Bowers during the Greg Moore … oops, sorry; of course, I mean the Bill O’Brien … speakership. For a “Yale man,” he was a good guy. A rare breath of intellectual fresh air in the very short-lived GOP supermajority elected in 2010 by the TeaParty wave.

But I don’t know what the hell he is talking about when he claims in GOP Campaign Strategy – The Governor’s Race that:

It seems that NH Democrats are worried about Kelly Ayotte, and not interested in policies that are important to NH citizens …

Actually, my dear Spec, it is just the other way around. “Democrats” … you should be calling them Woke-Communists … are obviously talking about things that matter to voters, while Republicans, or what passes for Republican in New Hampshire, are NOT. Do you, my dear Spec, have a better explanation for how the Woke-Communist GAINED seats in the New Hampshire House in 2022, in what should have been a Red Wave election?

Take public education, for example. The Woke-Communists’ mantra is that they are going to adequately fund public education, invest in public education, blah, blah, blah. The NHGOP response: EFAs! EFAs! EFAs all the way, everyday! EFAs are like EVs. There is no unmet demand among consumers of public education for EFAs. The NHGOP should be talking about IMPROVING public education as a counter to “investing” in public education. More specifically, by cutting the bureaucracy … especially the DEI bureaucracy …. and putting that money into classrooms. An excellent example is Massachusetts which spends roughly the same per pupil, but pays its teachers much more than New Hampshire does.

But don’t hold your breath waiting for the NHGOP to do so … they apparently are more interested in getting pats-on-the-head from AFP and Josiah Bartlett than actually winning elections. Stated slightly differently, my dear Spec, only about one-sixth of New Hampshire voters are “conservatives” and making EFAs the be-all and end-all of NHGOP education policy essentially writes off the other five-sixths.

The Woke-Communists are also going to save us from Climate Change. What’s the NHGOP response? Do they even understand, never mind have the ability to articulate, that “green energy” makes electricity more expensive? Are they proposing any policies to actually bring down the cost of electricity? All I am hearing is that the Choo-Choo train to Boston must be stopped … that this is the proverbial hill to die on.

My dear Spec, we could walk through the Woke-Communists’ other issues … abortion, “affordable housing,” “access to healthcare,” etc., etc., etc. … and see the same dynamic. The Woke-Communists are resonating with the voters … who increasingly are progressive-extremists attracted to New Hampshire because the Granite State has become a magnet for progressive-extremists … while the NHGOP is not: “smaller government,” “cut burdensome regulations,” blah, blah, snooze.

For example, here is a campaign mailer from the Woke-Communists in Manchester. All of the candidates pictured won. So, if any Party is guilty of not talking issues in a way that resonates with that ever-shrinking pool of persuadable voters, it is the NHGOP:

From the Women’s Defense League: The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Inexpedient To Legislate on House Bill 1711 – the gun confiscation bill passed in the House thanks to a majority of gun control representatives. This bill will now be voted on by the entire NH Senate.

You can read more about the bill here: https://wdlnh.org/2024/04/urgent-extremely-important-gun-control-hearing/.

Your efforts to help kill the bill in the committee were excellent. According to a senate hearing report, more people (of course) were AGAINST the legislation than were for it. The majority of people against the legislation are regular Granite State citizens such as yourself, while the majority for it were paid lobbyists or hacktivists, many funded by out-of-state gun control organizations.

You need to ACT one more time to get this bill killed, once and for all, in the full Senate.

The Senate will be voting on HB 1711 on Thursday, May 16th.

You can find out who your Senator is here: https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/senate/members/wml.aspx

You can email and call the Senators below. Calling is very helpful as they take a tally of how many are against the bill. Emailing is also important as it becomes public record.

Wednesday, the NH Senate Judiciary Committee met to vote on HB619, which would ban genital sex reassignment surgery for kids. Sen. Cindy Rosenwald and Sen. Shannon Chandley pushed back against the bill. Sen. Chandley said, “We as legislators should not be engaging in the legislation of the practice of medicine.”

No one on the committee brought up the therapy ban that prevents therapists from helping a gender-confused child to feel comfortable in his own body or the regulations restricting the prescribing of opioids, both of which Senators Rosewnwald and Chandley support.

The Democrat senators were like sheep repeating the talking points given to them. They didn’t think at all about the children going through these barbaric procedures, not to mention the vulnerable adults.

Below is a post from Reddit that exemplifies the horrors of vaginoplasty, where the doctor removes the testicles and inverts the penis into the facsimile of a vagina. If a patient was on puberty blockers, they have to find skin elsewhere to form the canal, as was done to Jazz Jennings. The clitoris, referred to in the post, is the tip of the penis that is removed and grafted back onto the canal opening.

20.5 weeks post op PIV Vaginoplasty. Still numb and can’t orgasm
byu/Legal-Ad4972 inTransgender_Surgeries

It’s getting progressively more painful to sit. My vaginal canal feels incredibly sore. I can only use the petite dilators and I’m far away from the first dot. I still have a very numb labia and no ability to orgasm. My clitoris is completely hidden behind fused skin and since that skin is numb I’m guessing that’s part of the struggles to orgasm. Any sensation I do feel in the clitoral area does not feel pleasurable at all. I’m on day 146. It’s a slow process. I have no functional depth or width, no visible clitoris, can’t orgasm.

I have a revision scheduled next month for depth width, bringing forward the clitoris and connecting the labia to the introitus. How painful is revision surgery recovery? I haven’t gone a day without pain in 146 days. 146 days of pain is brutal and I’m about to restart the pain clock and the dilation clock. This has been an incredibly difficult journey for me. I deal with major depression and have no clue what the future holds.

How can the NH Democrats oppose banning this barbaric operation for children? It should be banned for everyone, but the least New Hampshire can do is ban it for those under 18.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Ought to Pass 3-2, with Senators Carson, Gannon, and Abbas supporting it. The bill now goes to the full NH Senate and could be voted on as early as Thursday, May 15. Contact your senator and ask him or her to support HB619 and contact Governor Sununu to ask him to sign it into law.

While there is likely an endless supply of embarrassing COVID-related content on the average Liberal’s Social Feed (and please, by all means, grab that while you can), this latest revelation is a far more perfect example of how the Left’s trust in the government makes them untrustworthy.

While the COVID cure was neither safe nor effective, this Trump Court Documents case revelation shows how the US Justice Department has nothing to do with justice. It is (as most of you know) a mercenary arm of the uniparty willing to do anything to destroy its enemies.

And it’s great to know that, but it’s better when it comes out in Court.

Thanks to heroic work by Trump’s lawyers, and following several stern orders from Judge Cannon forcing the government to respond to basic discovery requests, we’ve now learned that the documents in the picture aren’t even the documents in the picture.

What I mean is, the FBI has now admitted that the documents seen splayed on the floor are dummies, props. At the time the picture was taken, the original classified documents had already been secured and removed. So the FBI took some other random papers and  — get this — put classified cover sheets on them and then posed those dummy documents on the floor. Picture time.

Not only weren’t the documents found on the floor, and not only weren’t the documents in the picture the actual documents, but the official-looking classified document cover sheets as seen in the photo were totally fake. There were no classified cover sheets on any of the original documents. It was all made up.

Trump-deranged uniparty stooges across the spectrum may have taken the publication of this photo by the entire corporate media (as proof of Trump’s guilt) and shared it. Your job is to find local elected officials in NH who did share it. Please find it and send it to me. Fraud is so much better when it is shared.

To be clear, President Trump’s possession of classified material was never illegal. He had clearance long after the raid and the ability to declassify any document while in office. The raid had nothing to do with alleged nuclear secrets—it was a witch hunt for a binder filled with incriminating evidence that is still unaccounted for (meaning they didn’t find it).

That firestorm was meant to distract from the unstoppable revelation of then-Vice President Joe Biden illegally taking classified documents during the Obama Administration. Thanks to the mad rush to erase presidential immunity to get Trump (pending judgments and relitigation of the principle), this opened Biden and Obama to future prosecution.

And at this rate, the TDS fan club isn’t going to “Get Trump” yet again.

[T]he government now faces two new, potentially fatal problems: the evidence tampering (or at least, evidence negligence), and lying to the court. And the CNN article mentioned, this is just one of the many complex and potentially novel issues now confronting the government’s case.

This latest error, along with many others, has delayed that trial indefinitely and will likely result in its being thrown out.

Trump should sue them all, and maybe he will.

Why should we be surprised? The multiple trials and 91 counts of indictments were Biden’s equivalence of Iran shooting hundreds of missiles and drones into Israel. Iran’s efforts were futile because of a lack of technology and military might.

The Trump trials are collapsing because the people in Biden’s legal teams are as competent as Joe was as a Lawyer. Oh, Jeez, what am I thinking? Joe was never a practicing lawyer, and neither should any of the attorneys Biden sent to bury Trump in New York, Georgia, or Florida. These lawyers may have the same passion as Biden to eliminate Trump, but like everyone else in Joe’s administration, these legal hacks are incompetent and playing out of their league. The cases are collapsing, and it is beautiful to watch.

It started with Leticia James in New York with her overreach trial to attempt to prove Donald Trump’s real estate empire was built on fraud. The problem is that to prove fraud, you have to have victims, and all she had on her side was banks that made millions working with Trump, and she was anxious to work with him again. These comments don’t sound like victims of fraud to me. Leticia was salivating at the possibility of putting the padlocks on Trump’s prize properties. You can picture Leticia sobbing herself to sleep on the day Trump posted the $500 million bond. She never saw that happening and thought he was going directly to a guilty verdict by the Mayberry RFD judge. It’s not going to happen.

The case in Florida regarding the handling of classified documents has been placed on perpetual hold after it was discovered the government lawyers mishandled the documents and violated their own laws. There is little chance the case will see a courtroom before the election. In Georgia, the election interference case is crashing down as Fannie Willis is now under review, and there is a strong possibility of the prosecution team and trial shut down.

The Democrats expected these trials to keep Trump busy until the election and hoped he would end up behind bars. Their fantasies are going unfulfilled. Trump will not see inside a cell at the hands of a Biden lawyer, but the country is the winner. Though Trump’s approval numbers rise with each news alert from one of the three courthouses, the country continues to become more polarized as the cases continue. Shutting them down will help to calm the chasm between the two factions.

The Justice Department, especially Merrick Garland, should be admonished for what they have done to the former President. All of these other players are merely puppets in this sad story and chapter in our history. Unfortunately, the media refused to see the real reason for these trials and reported on them as legitimate legal proceedings involving a former president.

As both sides do their best to campaign, the real push for the White House will begin with the conventions in July and August. We will watch the polls, campaign enthusiasm, the Republican Vice Presidential pick, and whether Biden, Trump and possibly Kennedy appear on a debate stage. This election promises to be the most unique in our history, and the drama will be palpable. The outcome of the election is critical. Though Biden continues to call Trump a threat to Democracy, it is actually him and his feckless administration that has done incredible damage to America. We need Donald Trump to fix the damage.

Grant Bosse … Deputy Chief of Staff for the N.H. Senate. And an incorrigible NeverTrumper (see screenshot below). Bosse has been a NHGOP insider for as long as I can remember. Just from memory: He ran and lost the GOP primary for CD-2 in 2008, and the NHGOP-powers-that-be placed him at Josiah Bartlett. Subsequently, he worked for Stinky-Joe McQuaid at the Union Misleader. At some point later, the NHGOP-powers-that-be placed him at the NH-DOE, presumably to keep Edelblut under control. When the GOP regained the State Senate majority in 2020, Bosse was handed a gig there as “Policy Director.”

So here is the consummate NHGOP-insider, the consummate GOP-establishmentarian announcing that he remains firmly NeverTrump. But don’t let that stop you from “voting NHGOP up and down the ballot,” bitter-clingers. Just keep pretending that the very grifters who look down their noses at you are “on your side.”

The post Night Cap: They Are NOT On Your Side appeared first on Granite Grok.

It’s a foregone conclusion that young minds are being successfully bombarded by any tidbit of crap which will decimate America, but it’s more than our minds; it’s our hearts that these evil-doers have also targeted.

For me, the term “heart” generalizes what actually takes in a person’s inner drives, ambitions, attitudes, and motivations—essentially, one’s being. Talk about total conquest! By the time these urchins get through, the outer visual of one’s appearance will be the only recognizable portion left from God’s creation! As a matter of fact, this summation defines the average communist!

There you have it: the child you brought into the world, the one you raised and loved, has, through all his or her education levels, undergone a personal vacuuming! Without a will, self-pride, individual hopes and expectations, or the overall ability for independent thought, just who or even what is it that says hello to Mom and Dad? While this might pose a scary turn-off, so are the robotic-like rampages on today’s college campuses!

Ask yourself, if a loving mom and/or dad is unable to connect, influence, and hopefully alter the thinking of these breathing manikins, what are the down-the-road possibilities for an eventual turnaround? The sad truth is that it must come from within, similar to the decision to enter an AA program, but in this case, just what is there within? This forecast of the future for your children is a far cry from your reasoning that a college degree was the only logical path forward toward living “a better life.”

Actually, aiming for the heart makes sense since it’s loyalty’s best protection, and without it, the mind has a difficult time focusing. After all, biologically speaking, without it, where are we? So, by grabbing the hearts of our young, their minds will obey.

All this features a sad predicament for us to overcome, especially since we have yet to admit its dreadful reality. Yet, for these patient evil-doers, time is their ally and bears today’s fruit by the class full. And, why such surprised reactions when learning that faculty members are supportive of their little anarchists; after all, they did the indoctrinating! In addition to its possible virtue, it seems that patience may also offer rewards as well.

So, as November nears, with Biden being Biden and Trump gaining support, the call probably went out, which sparked this college upheaval. Likewise, their tenured misfit professors were also called to provide support for their younger comrades. The bugle was also heard in the corporate world, which in turn showed their preferences to be with the bottom line rather than national loyalty. This disloyal and un-American showing has caused the public wondering as to what is happening, what to do, and above all, what this’s all about. Times have certainly changed, as today’s public incisiveness plainly shows.

Back on 9/11, this type of bewildering inaction would never have been! Not with those leaders that were on site nor with our public’s instinctive pro-American gusto! This comparison stands as a testament to our indifference, which these intervening years have introduced.. During that time, another generation moved on with its newly acquired and specific beliefs. It’s that brand of knowledge that has ridiculed and weakened the gusto that had been America’s calling card since 1776!

What to do? Just pick a target, but for current parents, center your concerns upon your loved ones by sacrificing a paycheck and trimming down those extra delights so that your children remain wholesome and virtuous due to your loving guidance. This home-based learning will produce a well-centered American citizen who is justly proud of that title!

For the rest of us, again, pick a target. Direct purchases with like minded businesses, connect with your official representation, research and learn more about what is America, about how she works and operates and then, spread these facts to others. That’s just a start but our Country’s worth it!

The more information gained, the more one may realize that yes, even you have been duped, not so totally but enough to hesitate, to limit, and to doubt, all of which is helpful for the orchestrating of this violent revolution. Most of all, realize the worst and shoulder up; know that either America survives or we will be slaves or just dead! There is only one option if this title of American still holds the merit for bringing forth our traditional sense of purpose and pride.
