If you are committed to calling your political opponents fascist, you might want to take a moment to understand what that means.
Democracy, for its own sake, as an example, is much closer to fascism than the Constitutional Republic to which most Republicans pay lip service. And saying someone is a threat to Democracy is not the insult you suggest unless you have evidence that their inclinations are more authoritarian than mob rule.
Remember that there is no right, left, or center when measuring for the authoritarian tick. There is more personal or individual liberty or less.
Fascists believe a few things, but all of them centralize authority. There is no fascist mind that would embrace individual choice over government preference. If you think the Federal Government is the best arbiter of things outside the few enumerated in the US Constitution, you are on your way to being a fascist.
Perennial one-party rule is fascist, especially when you use the State FBI, CDC, NIH, NSA, IRS, DOJ, DHHS… to secure or ensure it.
And yes, there are budding fascists across the spectrum, but the majority are center-left because that’s where centralizing power and authoritarianism find the most support.
If you object to that and are looking for the right sort of Republican to support in the upcoming primary, general election, or any election, ask them this question.
On what should our elected or appointed public officials be most focused when considering legislation, orders, or actions of any kind? Public Health, Public Safety, Public Order, Social Justice, Women’s Health, Gender Justice, or protecting liberty*?
If you didn’t say protecting liberty, grab a mirror.
*Note: I’m not referring to the extreme Liberatrain notion. Anarchy (as an example) does not protect liberty.

(Concord, NH – Sept 7, 2022) The New Hampshire Right to Life Political Action Committee (NHRTL PAC) is proud to make available a list of recommended candidates for NH voters who value the basic human right to life for the Sept 13, 2022 primary.
In total, over 120 candidates were recommended, spanning the offices of Governor, Executive Council, State Senator, and State Representative. This does not include candidates in uncontested primaries.
“I am encouraged to see so many candidates this year who believe in rights for all humans. It’s especially important that voters who value Life get to the polls this year, as we had multiple life-related bills that succeeded or failed this past session by 1 or 2 votes” said Kurt Wuelper, Chairman of NHRTL PAC.
The list may be accessed by going to the NHRTL PAC website: nhrtlpac.org.

The New York Post is reporting that Irish authorities arrested a teacher on charges originating in his refusal to use alternate pronouns for a student. Enoch Burke, a self-described devout Christian, and teacher at Wilson’s Hospital School in the community of Westmeath, was first suspended from teaching and appearing on campus for not using the pronoun “they” instead of “he” for a student.
Despite the injunction to stay away, Burke continued showing up to school, citing his religious beliefs to believe and speak the truth. Eventually, he was found sitting in an empty classroom before police hauled him away.
The New York Post writes:
A teacher in Ireland has been suspended from work and then jailed for contempt of court after he refused to use the correct pronouns to address a transgender student.
The teacher remained defiant in the face of jail time, telling the judge that “it is insanity” that he would be led out of the courtroom and taken to prison for refusing to give up his Christian beliefs.
“I love my school, with its motto Res Non Verba, ‘Actions not words,’ but I am here today because I said I would not call a boy a girl,” Burke told the court.
Burke was not short of logic, reason, and conviction when addressing the court. THe Post went on to note his continued refusal to bow to the woke mob.
Burke was taken into custody at the school on Monday and taken directly to court, where he told the judge he could not comply with the injunction because it would violate his conscience.“I am a teacher and I don’t want to go to prison,” Burke told the court. “I want to be in my classroom today, that’s where I was this morning when I was arrested.”
He added: “Transgenderism is against my Christian belief. It is contrary to the scriptures, contrary to the ethos of the Church of Ireland and of my school.”
It obviously goes without saying that Burke is 100% correct. It is pure insanity that he was suspended from campus, let alone arrested and sent to jail. The radical left hates individual freedom and it hates Christianity, two of the most fundamental roots in Western Civilization that made life and society so good and decent. Instead, they love ruling with an iron boot on our necks and punishing anyone who dare step out of line.
And while many are commenting that it is only a matter of time before this happens here, we need only look at the fate of so many protests from January 6th who are de facto political prisoners of The Regime. Whereas murderers and repeat violent offenders are released without bail throughout the nation, those entrapped by the Fedsurrection have been rotting in decrepit D.C. prisons without even a trial yet.
Still, at least on the pronoun front, some sanity prevails. A teacher who was suspended from a Kansas middle school last spring for an identical issue as Burke just recently won a court order that her suspension was wrong and that she was entitled to a financial settlement from the district. Similarly, a few years ago a college professor was award several hundred thousands dollars for having his rights to speech curtailed by woke academics.

According to its campaign finance filings, Granite PAC was fully funded in the fall of 2021 and has received no donations since then. Exactly $225,000.00 was raised in one calendar month in 2021: ten addresses but only five donors.

Gemini Electric – $50,000.00
Peter Napoli – $50,000.00
S&S Hotels – $50,000.00
Anton Melchionda – $25,000.00
Michael Kane – 50,000.00 (?) and why the question mark?
The six ‘contributors’ with an address as a business name are owned by The Kane Company, and Michael Kane donated a total of 50,000.00 to Granite PAC.
231 Corporate Drive, LLC
230 Corporate Drive, LLC
130 International Drive, LLC
166 Corporate Drive, LLC
325 Corporate Drive, LLC
162 Corporate Drive, LLC
And good on him. It’s his money. He can do what he wants with it, but why the six addresses? Why not just write a check like the other donors? Is the money from Kane or someone else?
Maybe someone will let me know.

So, we have ten addresses, five donors, and $225,000.00 to Granite PAC, which was registered to support Chris Sununu until Sept 9, 2022, when the PAC ‘decided’ to attack incumbent Republicans in primaries for the NH house who happen to have rubbed His Excellency the wrong way.
Politics.
Oh, and a lot of real-estate /developers.

Our divider-in-chief has set the tone for the midterms and probably 2024 with all of the verbal assaults on Republicans, precisely what he calls MAGA Trump or Trumpies. The man who claimed he was the great unifier has pulled a 180 and is showing there are no limits to this rhetoric.
I have always believed that Democrats are based on emotions while Republicans depend more on facts and reality. That is one of the reasons that this verbal battle started by Biden appears to be gaining momentum. You always see polls closing as you get closer to an election, but in the case of the midterms, many are questioning if the Republicans can cash in on Biden’s lack of popularity.
Biden had been in seclusion for weeks and on vacation in Delaware every weekend since he was in office. With his popularity at record lows, there was little that Biden could take on the road to message. That changed with the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act. That was considered a huge win for the President and gave him the impetus to hit the campaign trail for many Democrats struggling to hold onto their seats in Congress. The problem for Joe is that the crowds at his rallies are small, and many Democrats do not want to be seen on stage with the President.
This weekend, Joe Biden was in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where it is conceivable that these two swing states may turn Red. These appearances were on the heels of the controversial prime-time speech last Thursday. In that speech, flanked by two Marines in dress uniform, that President dropped the gauntlet on Republicans. In an address that was supposed to be healing, the President went full “divider” and pushed both sides further apart. This tactic is embarrassing, and what message does the President give to insult half of his country?
We see two different visions of America drawn by our two major parties. The America of Joe Biden is authoritarian, dictatorial, devoid of truth, and more divisive than anything we can imagine. The House Republicans are rolling out the Commitment to America plan that focuses on four points: a strong economy, a safe nation, a free country, and government accountability. I challenge any Democrat to show how any of those four points makes us an enemy of the state.
This plan is the message we need to get out before November and drown out the rhetoric and noise spread by the Democrats. We see what the Biden plan has done for America in the last two years. We might not survive another twenty-four months of Biden’s America. The money and media are on their side, but the facts and truth are on ours.
Elections are a marathon of campaigning, primaries, and finally, Election Day. With about sixty days left, the pace has quickened, and we are in the sprint phase. Every decision and every word is critical, as a misstep could be fatal. I am not confident that we will see a tsunami in November, but I am optimistic that people will vote with their wallets and the safety of their families in mind and do the right thing. We need to replace some of these liberal and radical Democrats with conservative Republicans who still see the Constitution as the roadmap for our country.
