Anyone with an ounce of commonsense can see the disastrous situation caused by Joe Biden and his diverse but inept Administration. There is no longer a secure boundary between Americans and the criminal migrants streaming into the country from over 155 different countries worldwide.

Ordinarily, you do not label someone as a criminal until they have been charged and convicted for a crime. The people wading across the Rio Grande to come into America via the backdoor have committed a crime by their first action in America. There is no defense. These folks are not lost. They know exactly where they are going, where to cross, and what to say when they arrive. We know we have people on the terrorist watch list entering. Gang members, drug smugglers, people involved in sex/people trafficking, and people who are convicted felons in their homeland are among the migrants. We think we have seen it all, but two new byproducts of the Broken Biden Border were detailed this week.

Last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 37,000 Chinese citizens were apprehended as they illegally crossed the border; that’s 50 times more than two years earlier. Many of the migrants say they made the journey to escape China’s increasingly repressive political climate and sluggish economy. We knew about the Chinese Fentanyl coming across the border, killing 100,000 Americans a year. Now we have over 35,000 illegal Chinese nationals, some of whom may be feeding the Chinese cartel-operated illegal Marijuana growing that is now a national problem. These farms are now in California, Maine, Oregon, Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Michigan and Nevada. This is a National security issue. The Maine Federal delegation has been trying since last sum3in vain to get the DOJ and DHS involved. It is almost a year of pleading, but it is met by apathy, which will solve nothing.

A very dangerous situation has been uncovered in Arizona. High school-age males are recruited to smuggle illegals across the border and transport them to the Phoenix area. These young men are paid up to $1,500 per person to traffic them into America. As many as ten bodies can be crammed into a car, which means $15,000 of dirty money for these adolescents who are now criminals, too. Transporting illegals across the border is dangerous enough, but they are dealing with the Mexican Cartel that has no respect for human life and will kill these young men in a heartbeat.

Joe Biden went to the microphone to congratulate the Senate for passing the Federal aid bill for Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and Taiwan. At the same time, he blasted House Republican Leadership, who had already said the bill would not be brought to the floor for debate or vote. He went over the line when he declared anyone who opposes this bill as siding with Putin, a tyrant, and, like Trump, is against America. This President can make these obscene comments about the money to support Ukraine as it defends its borders, but he refuses to seal our border that has let in enough people since 2021 to be the 34th largest state in the country.

By Biden’s thinking, we should try Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas for tyranny.

I fear Biden doesn’t see my logic.

I wasn’t one of them, but I’ve known my share of sporty kids. Up early, lots of practice, time after school, and traveling to games or meets. It’s a considerable commitment wasted when a boy who isn’t even very good at the sport decides he’s a girl and beats them all handily.

There are a handful of high-profile examples, but this story is about a kid from Kearsarge High School who couldn’t compete in boys’ track and field. He calls himself Maelle Jacques, and he recently beat every Girl competing in the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) indoor track and field championship.

Kearsarge Regional High School sophomore Maelle Jacques, a biological male, took first place in the Girl’s high jump competition on Sunday, beating every female in the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) indoor track and field championship.

As expected, Jacques dominated and finished with a 5’1″‘” mark, an inch better than any other athlete in the girls Division II competition. In the boy’s Division II, the lowest high jump was 5’8″‘,” and the winning jumpers hit 6’2″.”

The problem is that Maelle Jacques is welcome to whatever fantasy about his sexual disposition he can convince others to embrace. Riley Gaines framed the matter thusly.

How could the parents of this boy allow their son to cheat deserving women out of opportunities? And why don’t the parents of the girls stand up and say “no” for their daughters?

This country is full of failing, gutless mothers and fathers. https://t.co/qc39ygtWPT

— Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) February 5, 2024

“Maelle” presents himself as a girl, but he has physical advantages no girl will ever have and uses them to defeat them in athletic competitions he could never win by competing with boys.

There is no honor in that. It is not an accomplishment deserving of acclaim or reward. You are taller, faster, stronger, have better heart and lung capacity, muscle mass, and bone density, and were born that way.

They…were not.

It is true that some young women, through hard work, long hours, good coaching, and attention to the finest details of a sport, can compete and win against boys or men who have little or no skill whatsoever, most of the time. Not all of the time. In the case of the Girl’s division of the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) indoor track and field championship, Maelle wiped them out.

The girls, it seems, were born in the wrong body … to compete against boys. And they can’t even get testosterone treatments to try and bridge the gap … that would be cheating.

January 1st, 2034, The Pacific Ocean somewhere near Hawaii: It had been ten years since Elon Musk realized colonizing Mars was not the answer to his deep concern regarding the survival of humanity. When his mind searched for an alternative answer, he took notice of how the people of Iceland had solved their energy problem.

Faced with a difficult climate and minimal natural resources, instead of looking to the radiant energy of the sun or trying to capture capricious wind energy, the Ice Landers looked underneath the ocean floor. The island’s waters were in a volcanic “Rift Zone,” and by drilling a few thousand meters below the ocean floor, the geo-environment was so hot that exposed water would immediately become superheated steam. If the rising steam was channeled through an electricity-producing turbine, carbon-free energy could be generated.

Inconsistent windmills or solar panels, which by definition are nonproductive 12 hours each day and useless on cloudy days, were not the answer to the need for dependable carbon-free energy—neither had the reliability or scalability to get the job done. Nuclear energy had the potential, but as Chornobyl and the war in Ukraine had demonstrated, nuclear power plants can, in the wrong hands, be a disaster.

Geothermal energy was the solution to Earth’s carbon-free energy need, but Musk saw the energy source as something more, the foundation on which answering the question of how to preserve humanity could be built.

Musk could not repeat his previous mistake. Tesla was a financial success, but Musk had put the cart in front of the horse. By not ensuring the availability of an unlimited carbon-free renewable energy source, mass production and use of affordable electric cars were limited.

To save humanity, Musk had to develop an alternative unlimited energy source, and Geothermal energy fit the bill. He leveraged all his experience, Tesla-derived AI, and formidable know-how to develop the new energy source. Billions in private investor money flowed and trillions in profits measured success.

We want to thank Jim Betti for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

Almost the entire American West Coast seaboard ocean qualified as geothermal-rich “Rift Zones,” and these resources were developed. Musk became incalculably rich, and as renewable geothermal energy became readily available, his dream of affordable electric cars became a reality.

But it was at an undisclosed ocean-floor location near Hawaii that Musk’s vision of preserving humanity was being realized. During the same ten years Geothermal energy was developed, Musk had simultaneously worked with the American government to build a modern version of a seafloor Atlantis.

Hundreds of meters below the ocean’s surface, all the essentials needed to perpetuate life were readily available. Sea Water {H2O} was ubiquitous, and under Musk’s intense oversight, desalination had been perfected, thus providing water {H2O} for human consumption and multiple other essential purposes.

Other life-essential nutrients, Nitrogen, phosphorous, magnesium, and iron, were also readily available. In the absence of the sun’s life-giving energy rays, geothermal-produced energy was converted into sun-like energy waves. Plant roots were bathed in a soulless, nutrient-rich water-like soup, and the plants captured the geothermal-produced radiant energy by combining water {H2O} from the soup with carbon dioxide {CO2} to create energy-storing carbon-based molecules. As a side product, breathable oxygen {O2} was also produced. The plants used the captured energy to absorb other root soup nutrients and convert them into “amino acids”, the building blocks of protein. The essential amino acid lysine is not abundantly produced by plants, and without it, human life cannot be supported. This issue was addressed by harvesting edible fish and cultivating undersea chickens that laid lysine-rich eggs.

Humanity was sustained by consuming fish, plants, and eggs. The energy required for human growth was derived from using breathed in oxygen {O2} to, in effect, burn the food’s carbon molecules, creating the byproducts of water {H2O} and carbon dioxide {CO2}; Products green plants can again use to capture the Geothermal created sun-like energy rays and continue the cycle of life. To perpetuate the cycle all human and animal waste products were repurposed into the watery soup that provided the nutrients for Atlantis’s fruit and vegetable gardens.

Using Geothermal produced energy, water {H2O} was split into energy-storing hydrogen{H2} and oxygen{O2}. The energy-rich hydrogen was then used to make powerful carbon-free batteries, and the oxygen was harvested for human breathing.

If a super volcano eruption or a nuclear winter ever blotted out the life-giving rays of the sun, the new Atlantis would continue to thrive, and the ocean-floor Geothermal wells would continue to supply power to land-based survivors. Even a nuclear bomb electromagnetic pulse {EMP} would have no effect as the gamma rays and the harmful electronic particles would be absorbed by the sea. The threat of assault by foreign enemies had been addressed. The new Atlantis was protected by an impenetrable fleet of AI-programmed Hydrogen-battery-powered armed submersibles. Musk’s satellite-based ‘“Star Link” would preserve the internet and keep communication lines open.

It is only a matter of time before Geothermal energy becomes the world’s dominant energy source and an underwater city becomes a reality. The technology is already available, and the premise’s evidence-based logic carries an unstoppable inertia.

In the future, there is a very real possibility of a man-made Armageddon or a natural extinction event. In this piece, Elon Musk was highlighted as the person who could use innovation, modern technology, and Geothermal Energy to create a safe harbor from these catastrophic possibilities, a place where humanity would be preserved.

But if it is not Musk’s destiny to be the architect of this future, the world should hope the driving force to Geothermal Energy dominance and a new Atlantis is an entity with Musk-like intentions. If not, the world’s future will end up in the hands of elite socialists, totalitarian dictators, the world’s military-industrial complexes, the major fossil fuel companies, and the green energy conglomerates. None of which care about preserving even a shred of humanity, and all of which would populate their version of Atlantis with the worst this world could offer.

Respect for the rule of law, as it is understood and practiced by civilized people, is an instrument of convenience to be used to advantage and to be violated when it is not for the Muslim. A Muslim believes in a different law—Sharia Law: a set of stone-age rules. Violation of the non-Muslim laws, therefore, is no violation at all to a Muslim.

Under Sharia Law, the very fabric of society unravels, giving rise to a nightmarish dystopia where chaos reigns supreme. The Muslim adherents of this archaic code would then wield an insidious influence that undermines the foundations of civilization. For them, the rule of law is not a guiding principle but a mere illusion to be manipulated at their convenience. The tentacles of Sharia Law would slowly extend into every facet of society, creating an environment of fear and uncertainty.

Within the twisted worldview of the Muslims, adherence to Sharia Law is not just a choice; it is a mandate provided by their God, ‘Allah,’ a dark covenant that binds them to an evil destiny. These stone-age rules, steeped in brutality and devoid of compassion, serve as the twisted backbone of their society. Any attempt to question or challenge Sharia Law is met with ruthless reprisals, as the Muslims view dissent as a threat to their oppressive regime.

In this nightmarish reality, the concept of justice becomes a grotesque parody. Courts of law are replaced by arbitrary tribunals where the whims of the Muslims dictate the fate of the accused. Trials, if they can be called that, are nothing more than kangaroo courts designed to legitimize the preordained outcomes. The innocent tremble in terror, knowing that any semblance of fairness has been banished from this warped legal system.

Under the ominous specter of Sharia Law, the populace lives in perpetual trepidation, for these Muslims recognize no bounds in their quest for dominance. The once-stable foundations of society crumble, replaced by a lawless abyss where the strong prey on the weak without consequence. The Muslims thrive on this anarchy, reveling in the chaos they sow as the very notion of order becomes a distant memory.

In this harrowing landscape, the international community watches in horror, realizing the contagion of Sharia Law threatens to spread beyond its borders. The ominous whispers of this dark ideology reach far and wide, casting a pall over the future of civilization. As Muslims continue to flaunt the conventions of decency and morality, the world teeters on the precipice of a global nightmare, where the rule of law is nothing more than a relic of a bygone era. The question that hangs ominously in the air is whether the forces of reason and justice can muster the strength to confront and extinguish the encroaching darkness before it consumes us all.

What is incredible is the gall and audacity of devout Muslims in demanding that Western and other democracies legalize Sharia in their societies. Countries such as Great Britain, Sweden, Norway, and other European countries, as well as Canada and the United States, with large populations of Muslims, mostly recent arrivals, and ironically, drawn by the allure of democratic freedoms, are experiencing the insistent demands by Muslims to have Sharia rule their Islamic communities.

Paradoxically, they seek to replace these very freedoms with the oppressive shackles of Sharia Law. The clamor for the legitimization of Sharia within Islamic communities is nothing less than chilling; it is a testament to the insatiable hunger for dominance that lies at the core of this ideological menace.

Therefore, the audacious push for the legalization of Sharia in Western democracies is nothing short of a bold attempt to subvert the very principles upon which these nations were built. The Muslims, driven by an unrelenting desire to impose their archaic worldview, are exploiting the freedoms and tolerance of these democracies to advance their sinister agenda. It is a Trojan horse of the most insidious kind, threatening to unleash a tsunami of darkness that would engulf the bedrock values of these societies.

The Muslims, seemingly emboldened by their growing numbers, exhibit an unwavering determination to impose Sharia not only within their communities but also on the broader societal landscape. The audacity lies not just in their requests for cultural accommodation but in the blatant disregard for the principles of pluralism and individual liberties that form the bedrock of democratic societies.

In the face of such audacious demands, division looms over these democratic nations. The fabric of multiculturalism, celebrated for fostering diversity and coexistence, now faces the dangerous threat of unraveling. The Muslims’ insistence on the legalization of Sharia stands as a stark challenge to the ideals of tolerance and mutual respect that have been carefully cultivated over decades.

As the Muslims persist in their brave attempts to normalize Sharia within Western democracies, a looming question arises: Will the foundations of these nations prove resilient enough to withstand this ideological onslaught, or are we witnessing the gradual erosion of the principles that have defined these societies for generations? The struggle for the soul of democracy intensifies, and the resilience of these nations will be tested in the crucible of cultural clashes as the Muslims unapologetically press forward with their audacious demands, threatening to reshape the very landscapes of freedom and justice.

This is just the beginning, and it may seem relatively harmless to the simpletons in our midst. Yet, once Sharia is recognized to any extent, it will reach out to rule not only on matters that concern Muslims but also those that may involve Muslims and non-Muslims. Under Sharia, a Muslim man married to a non-Muslim woman can divorce the woman at will, automatically have custody of the children, and toss the wife out of “his” home with just about no compensation.

Yes, mark my words – The seemingly innocuous beginnings of the push for Sharia’s recognition are nothing short of the opening gambit in a dangerous game that threatens to engulf entire societies in its suffocating grasp. To the unsuspecting, it may appear as a harmless accommodation to the cultural nuances of the Muslim community. However, this is a calculated maneuver, a strategic move on the grand chessboard of ideology, where the pawns are the fundamental principles of justice, equality, and individual rights.

Once Sharia gains even the slightest foothold, its insidious influence creeps beyond the confines of Muslim matters, insinuating itself into the lives of both Muslims and non-Muslims. The ominous implications unfold like a dark tapestry, weaving a narrative of subjugation and injustice transcending cultural boundaries.

Under the looming specter of Sharia, the very fabric of familial relationships is torn asunder. A Muslim man, married to a non-Muslim woman, becomes a pawn in a legal game where the rules are designed to favor one ideology over another. The perverse provisions of Sharia grant him the arbitrary power to sever marital ties at will, leaving his non-Muslim wife in a nightmarish limbo.

The repercussions extend far beyond the emotional turmoil of divorce. Sharia dictates that the Muslim man, by the stroke of a legal pen, automatically gains custody of the children, stripping the non-Muslim mother of her maternal rights. This heart-wrenching separation becomes not only a personal tragedy but a glaring example of the gross injustices perpetuated in the name of an antiquated legal code.

The insidious nature of Sharia is further laid bare when it comes to property rights. The Muslim man, armed with the weapon of Sharia, has the authority to unceremoniously cast his non-Muslim wife out of “his” home, leaving her with minimal recourse and virtually no compensation. The sanctity of the family home, once considered a haven, becomes a battleground where Sharia’s brutal tenets override the principles of fairness and equity.

The implications are increasingly dire. What may seem like a benign concession to cultural differences reveals itself as a sinister ploy, threatening to dismantle the foundations of justice, equality, and individual autonomy that are the cornerstones of a just society. The ominous reality is that once Sharia gains recognition, the erosion of fundamental rights will follow, casting a dark shadow over the very essence of a fair and equitable legal system.

This is the beginning and the prelude to a disturbing descent into an abyss of legal injustice and societal upheaval.

There are a lot of things the Democrats did that interfered in the 2020 election. The truth about the Hunter Bidne Laptop would have moved an outcoming changing number of votes to Trump, but then so would the absence of vote-by-mail fraud, to which a significant number of voters has admitted.

The survey shows 17 percent of mail-in voters admitting to voting in a state where they are no longer permanent residents; 21 percent filling out ballots for others; 17 percent signing ballots for family members, possibly without consent, and 8 percent reporting offers of “pay” or “reward” for their vote.

What’s more, 10 percent of all respondents to the survey (carried on a representative sample of 1,085 likely voters) said they know a friend, family member, co-worker, or other acquaintance who said they cast a mail-in ballot in 2020 in a state other than their state of permanent residence.

That’s the admitted and likely fraud without any consideration for significant election irregularities involving suitcases, illegal election law changes, blocking observers, and other foolishness we’re not allowed to talk about. Add to this new research that uses what voters have admitted, and the 2020 outcome once again tips toward Trump.

“Had the 2020 election been conducted like every national election has been over the past two centuries, wherein the vast majority of voters cast ballots in-person rather than by mail, Donald Trump would have almost certainly been re-elected,” the report’s authors wrote.

It doesn’t mean much. You’re confirmation bias is happy. You can say that what didn’t seem right to you then was not a delusion. Things were, in fact, FUBAR, or at least not right. Your guy should have won. None of which amounts to much if the same process plays out again this November.

There is a significant presence both nationally and globally that sees growing populist support for a second Trump term as a threat to any number of agendas. The opposition crosses party lines and national borders and includes Allies and enemies. The money, influence, and political pressure to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office is enormous.

Nothing is off the table, which means the people, you, me, all y’all, need to turn out in such great numbers that stealing the election becomes impossible.

That’s a tall order, given how little has been done to protect election integrity from those who would undermine the outcome.

We can whine about it, but that won’t change a thing.

The swing states have a few months left to secure the vote, and if that can’t be done, the people will have to send the strongest possible message with – as noted above- so many votes against the NWO, Deep-State Establishment order that it will be impossible to do anything but accept it.

That won’t stop them, but the alternative is an actual insurrection. we don’t want that.. but they’d love it.

We already have three political parties. The Democrats, the Republicans who represent Republican voters, and the Republicans who do NOT represent Republican voters. Last night’s (2/12) Senate vote on “foreign aid” is illustrative of the split: 22 “Republicans” joined with the Democrats to continue funding that kleptocracy called Ukraine:

BREAKING: The senate just pulled an all nighter and officially passed their $95B foreign aid bill for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan with nothing for the southern border

The final vote was 70-29 with 22 Republicans voting yes.

McConnell, Thune, Boozman, Capito, Cassidy, Collins,…

And the arrogance of these Senate Republicans who do not represent GOP voters is off the charts. They loathe the very voters who elected them. For example:

Sen. Thom Tillis: “Our base cannot possibly know what’s at stake at the level that any well-briefed U.S. senator should know about what’s at stake if Putin wins."

Stop voting for these people. They hate you and think their job is to rule you. pic.twitter.com/L97R9LkImx

— John Daniel Davidson (@johnddavidson) February 12, 2024

The problem, sadly, is the GOP voter who supports these Republicans who do not represent GOP voters. I do not know the details of Tillis’ primary. Maybe the other candidates were worse, or the good candidate(s) did not have the resources to compete, or Tillis is very good at “bringing home the bacon,” or some other reason or combination of reasons. What I do know is that GOP voters overwhelmingly supported a candidate who thinks very, very little of them and, therefore, does NOT believe he needs to actually represent them.

America does not need a third party. In McConnell, Tillis, Romney, Sununu, Haley, etc., etc., etc., America already has a third party. What America needs is GOP voters in Red States to wake up and start electing real Republicans.

There is speech that is hateful, but the people who want to use that idea to silence other opinions hate speech. Intransitive Verb: ‘ To feel a strong dislike for or hostility toward.’ The laws they want or pass are about hating speech, not hateful speech. Free speech is what they hate.

If you had doubts, the Sumer of Love and the Censorhip Industrial Complex response during COVID would have cleared them up. On the one hand, we had the government colluding with speech platforms to control political and medical messaging, all of which – not surprisingly – turned out to be truth censored to protect lies. On the other, we had BLM mobs patrolling the streets of America’s cities, compelling their approved speech under threat.

They hate your speech and hate you for not aping their own, and this was not an exception. It is the rule.

You will be made to care the way they say and say it the way they want (or else!) because what they truly hate is liberty, and they won’t stop until they’ve taken yours.

This post was updated at around 7:30 pm on 2/14 to reflect that the Sun-King, a/k/a Governor Chris Sununu, at some point today (unclear exactly when), had the woke-mind-virus “guidance” removed. While the Sun-King presumably thinks that he has put the issue to bed, he has NOT. Questions remain. Who hired the woke-mind-virus infected person who posted the guidance, and why has this person not been TERMINATED?  The original post follows    

First, tip of the hat to NH-NeverTrumpJournal for exposing another example of the woke-mind-virus taking over New Hampshire. Specifically, the “Department of Information Technology” – which I did not even know existed, has issued “guidance” called “Embracing Inclusive Language” for the State’s websites. One example is that “‘They’ is now considered a singular pronoun and should be used to replace ‘he or she’ or ‘his or her.’”

Read the linked article for more details on how the “Department of Woke-Speak” … oh! I’m sorry; I mean, the “Department of Information Technology” … is spreading the woke-mind virus. Rather than tell you here what you can read for yourself in the article, what I want to do is lament that we don’t have a Republican Governor and Republican legislature to address this. Oh, wait! We supposedly do.

Our esteemed Sun-King, a/k/a Governor Chris Sununu, could undo this “guidance” immediately and demand the resignation of everyone involved. The Republican legislature could and should defund the “Department of Woke-Speak” in the next budget. But I doubt anything of the sort will happen.

Because “that’s not the hill to die on! We have far more important fights … like eviscerating local zoning laws and building apartment buildings as far as the eye can see! And cutting taxes for rich people and businesses! Go, team-NHGOP, go!”

New Hampshire does NOT have a Republican Party. Its tombstone should read “died of fright of the woke-mind-virus.”

The post If Only New Hampshire Had A Republican Governor And Legislature (UPDATED) … appeared first on Granite Grok.

Recently here in the federal prison that I currently call “home,” there was a fight between two miserable, awful human beings known around the unit as the Nazi and the Swindler. Even more recently, Granite State Watch released a list of anti-democracy extremists; I am on that list, and it brought much joy to this, the eighth month of my eighteen month prison sentence, to know that I struck such a profound fear in them that even the rattling of my chains echoes in their minds. Of course, Granite State Watch is correct in their assessment; I am an anti-democracy extremist. When all the cards are laid on the table, it’s shown that they, too, are anti-democracy extremists. Most people are.

I don’t simply mean the Socialist and Communist leftists clamoring for a dictatorship of the proletariat, although, as they’re commonly used, “dictatorship’ and “democracy” would be mutually exclusive. I also don’t mean the anti-democracy representatives who voted against CACR32, thereby prohibiting New Hampshire voters from voting on a ballot question, although those state reps who voted against it, in literal terms, voted against democracy. Instead, I mean only to point out that anyone of reason who has been educated past the third grade is likely to be staunchly anti-democracy, because democracy is stupid.

No person of sense would poll the ignorant masses for a medical diagnosis, or help with any problem of significance. The average person is simply not educated or equipped to answer most specialized questions, but, because of the Dunning-Kruger Effect and sheer incompetent arrogance, they not only will give a terrible and incorrect answer, but will then vigorously defend that wrong answer when assailed by facts and logic. We saw this during the Covid-19 pandemic, when suddenly everyone was an expert virologist, biologist, and epidemiologist overnight, all without any education or training whatsoever. And nearly everyone among this hitherto unknown mass of doctors with their wildly differing “expert” opinions was willing to fight and defend whatever their dumbass opinion happened to be. The side calling me an anti-democracy extremist was, in fact, the side that coined the term “Covidiot” to describe such people.

It shouldn’t need to be pointed out, but the ones the left calls “Covidiots” vote, and one vote cast by an idiot cancels out entirely a vote cast by an intelligent person. Imagine some respectable citizen taking several hours from their busy life to contemplate and research the issues, reach an informed decision, learn about the candidates, and then proudly cast their vote in an election, only for it to be nullified by a slack-jawed yokel whose entire political ideology is “I ain’t wearin’ no face diaper!” So, yes, I must confess a substantial degree of disdain and contempt for any political system that, as a matter of foundational policy, weighs these two people and their opinions, and finds them to be equally worthy of consideration and application.

Further, it does not matter where one falls on the political compass; the most common perspective is that the opinion holder is correct and, as deviation from that opinion increases, so does the stupidity required to disagree with the first person’s obviously correct position. Someone who disagrees only slightly is “only a little stupid,” while someone who diametrically opposed is a mouth-breathing troglodyte unworthy of being considered human.

What does any of this have to do with the Nazi and the Swindler? It dawned on me, the day that I learned about Granite State Watch and their list, that the Nazi and the Swindler are the perfect symbol of presidential elections, especially in recent years. Here are the two absolutely worst human beings we can find. One is a large, old, overweight, vile, racist, homophobic bully who more or less prides himself on those characteristics, and he is fighting a smaller, older dementia patient who may or may not understand where he is and who may or may not be pooping his pants. As South Park said, it’s always a big, giant douche and a turd sandwich. It’s always a Nazi versus a Swindler.

All this said, the United States isn’t a democracy. It is a constitutional republic that uses the democratic means (e.g., voting) to ostensibly achieve its ends. Without the ability to Google things, I believe it was Winston Churchill who said something like, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for the others that have been tried.” Just as the constitutional republic was meant to be a “government that governs least,” because it was recognized that all government is evil and horrible (Yes, even the American government), democracy was never thought to be good, but was instead only the least terrible option available at the time. We shouldn’t be so enamored with our own supposed greatness that we lose perspective on how awful the system is.

Even with the much-touted “checks and balances” of the system, there has been created an invincible and virtually omnipotent administrative state, a government by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats, and the supposedly powerful people, such as Senators and Presidents, are at best powerless figureheads who cannot effect change any more than a brave fool could use a paper fan to drive away a hurricane. Yet even the uselessness of the offices does not open them to the public at large; candidates are carefully screened and selected, only after after a lifetime of service and fervent loyalty to the system and the duopoly controlling it. Knowledge of this apparatus is so widespread that the most common response, when I secured the Republican nomination for sheriff of Cheshire County in New Hampshire in 2020, was, “How did this happen? Why didn’t the power structures that control candidate selection keep Aria out?”

When the average person praises democracy, they are expressing love and admiration for this nightmarish administrative leviathan that allows them to cast their vote, as equals to idiots, in a contest between a Nazi and a Swindler, when the outcome has no measurable impact anyway. To suggest that we only need “more informed” voters, better candidates, more transparency, or whatever other platitude one wants to toss out, is to suggest that we need only a better fan to divert the hurricane.

If you think a Town Meeting is an opportunity to show residents how hung up you are on the spanking you got (and deserved), welcome to Londonderry. Town manager Michael Malaguti is reported to have taken the opportunity to attack his detractors.

Town Manager Michael Malaguti began his ‘State of the Town Address’ at the Town Deliberative Session by launching into an attack against residents who have asked for accountability and transparency at Town Council meetings. Malaguti believes we are in a ‘battle for the soul of our community’ against a small group of individuals with an agenda. Malaguti also attacked former Town Councilor Deb Paul and the Londonderry Times.

A battle that includes “his” town engaging in expensive and frivolous lawsuits.

He brought the complaint against an elected official to have her censured for what she said at an on­the­record, public hearing. The views she expressed, and the language that she used, was constitutionally and statutorily protected political speech. …

Instead of taking the opportunity to repent past wrongs that included lawfare and the active suppression of the right to free speech and government transparency, Malaguti abandoned bridge building and corrective internal action for a cheap shot with no opportunity for rebuttal to the same audience.

He did go on to praise a wide range of groups and individuals, but the question Londonderry residents should be asking is, when will (and the town) turn against me? It doesn’t appear to take much. All you need to do is challenge their use of tax dollars, their authority, and how they handle right-to-know requests—things citizens are expected to do to keep any level of government accountable. And you’d best do it quickly. HB1002, which would allow them to charge you for the right to hold them accountable, is co-sponsored by at least one NH House Rep. from Londonderry.

There were likely conversations about the cost of obstructing citizen inquiry and how it might be possible to profit from the practice.

They don’t want you to know, but if you do and you persist, who knows,  Malaguti might whine about you asking your public servants uncomfortable questions.

You might even want to make that a goal.

Cut & pasted verbatim from my Jarhead friend (will have a better selection on Friday):

 

This next section is all about the coming war in America.  Call it a civil war, or an invasion, or an insurrection, or whatever, but it’s coming:

I read this comment by Colin Powis on this article: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/02/what_trumps_retribution_really_means.html

and I think this is the most likely scenario if Trump gets re-elected:

Begin comment:

COLIN POWIS If Trumps avoids assassination (or a strange unexplained plane crash), and if he can get ”early mail in voting” banished from those six crucial swing states, and actually win the election, then the Dem gangsters will simply incite a real ”insurrection” on the streets in every blue or swing state . They’ll call out their defacto street militia with the BLM morons and make it clear to every recent “migrant” that Trump intends to deport them; they will form a diabolical street alliance to intimidate police and essentially control the streets of major cities, thereby giving the Dems the pretext they need to declare a national emergency and refuse to hand over power to a Trump government. The Dem gangsters would rather spark a civil war than ever have Trump as president again . This is the undeniable direction this is heading to. There could be two parallel governments at the same time and Trump’s first act as president could be to declare martial law and send in the National Guard to start shooting the leftist anarchists rioting in the streets. If Trump were to become President again, the first thing he’d need to do is close the border, then cut off all funding for the Fifth Column of migrants who have invaded the country.  Suddenly this is not just the specter of a civil war between blue and red, it’s a potential war against feral third world migrants with a sense of entitlement.  It wont take much for the Dem gangsters to incite them against conservative citizens and ”white supremacists ” who want to deport them.  In fact the recent Hamas surprise attack on Israel could be a blueprint for future Muslim/ Migrant attacks on Americans.

End Comment

The globalists have been planning the demise of America for a century or more, and we are in the end game now.  These elites (many in government) KNOW that they will be targeted by Trump and his administration, as well as any American Patriots in general.  THAT’s why they are fighting so hard to keep Trump out of the White House.  Like the above comment says, if by Divine miracle Trump actually gets re-elected in November, it would not surprise me if the Marxist’s start openly arming the 8 million to 30 million illegals, and (like it says above), telling them that if you don’t fight for us, you’ll be deported (at best) and maybe killed.  There’s a lot of time between the election in November and the Presidential swearing on January 20th, and these forces could very easily “set the country on fire” (maybe literally) to destabilize it.

Add to that the 400,000 (could be more) military aged males from China who snuck in through the southern border, so they are ALREADY here:

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/20388/china-infiltrators-us

China, seeing an opening, could easily activate this army.  Imagine if just 1% of those Chinese infiltrators (that’s 4,000 active agents) start sabotaging our infrastructure*.  Bridges blown up, power grids shut down, water systems poisoned or shut off, banking systems collapsing, cell networks dead:

https://disswire.com/u-s-officials-chinese-hackers-are-planning-to-take-down-power-grid/

Is ANYONE in America prepared to fight on the scale these numbers are showing?  All of our military, even if you include the Coast Guard, the National Guard, and ALL the Reserves only make up about 4 million or so.  Law enforcement adds another 2-3 million, giving us MAYBE 7 million uniformed fighters, but that’s stripping ALL assets from our overseas bases and bringing them home.  And also assuming that our new “woke” military doesn’t just throw down their arms and surrender.  Some of them might join the leftists…

Even if our military fights FOR us, the only REAL hope we have is that  American Patriots who have guns will form militia’s and FIGHT BACK.  There are something like 120 million armed Americans, and about 1/2 of those are hunters, capable of dropping a game animal at 300+ yards with one shot.  But this is also why the globalists want to take our guns away, and restrict the formation of militia’s.  Figuring out ways to prepare for the coming war and save our country is what keeps me up at night.  Lately I’ve been working on “grid down” comms, and I’m currently studying to get my ham radio license.  What would you do if you woke up and the internet and all cell phones were dead?  Better think about it, as it may be closer than you expect.

The scariest single conversation I’ve ever heard in my life was five Special Forces guys having a fun thought exercise about how they would bring a major American city to its knees. They picked Chicago, because it was a place they’d all been. It was fascinating, and utterly terrifying. And I’ll never ever put any of it in a book, because I don’t want to give crazy people any ideas. Give it about a week and people would be eating each other (and gee whiz, take one wild guess what the political leanings of most Green Berets are?).

Similar dinner conversation once, with a bunch of SWAT cops from a major American city, talking about how incredibly easy it would be to entirely shut down and utterly ruin their city, with only a small crew of dedicated individuals and about forty eight hours of mayhem and fuckery.

Joe Biden declined an offer from CBS to sit for the traditional Super Bowl interview with the President. This is the second year he has opted to pass on the tradition. To be fair, Trump passed on two Super Bowl interviews while in office. He claimed there was no way he would be given a fair and unbiased session. Biden knows he will be treated with kid gloves but cannot get through an unscripted interview without serious blunders. With Biden’s horrendous press conference last week after the release of the scathing Special Counsel Report, there was no way Biden’s staff would let him go in front of 100 million viewers. To do so would be political suicide. So, instead of appearing on CBS, Biden turned to X and TikTok to get his message out on Super Bowl Sunday.

Biden has lost his grip on just about every voting block. Seniors, Spanish, Blacks, Browns, Reds, Jews, and even women do not support Biden. The young voters are pulling for the Grandfather in the Oval Office because they still believe Biden will forgive their student loans. That is the group he was speaking to on Sunday by using X and TikTok. Let me take on the X reel first. Biden used this opportunity to record a defense of Bidenomics and blamed the industrial machine for taking advantage of consumers. He points to food items like chips, candy, and juice drinks as examples of companies shrinking product size rather than raising prices. He has coined this practice of Shrinkflation. This practice has been in play for years, and because you can only price certain items like snacks and drinks to a certain point. I went to a convenience store last week and bought a bag of potato chips, tortilla chips, and a jar of salsa. The total for the purchase was $17. I was ticked, but not at the store or even the vendor. I was ticked at Joe Biden, who has forced companies to raise prices or shrink sizes.

Joe Biden is an anti-business President. This is partly arrogant and primarily ignorant of economics. You cannot raise taxes, minimum wages, fuel, and utility prices and then blame the industry for increasing prices. Biden thinks he can force the industry to bring prices down. That is not the President’s or government’s role in a capitalist economy. Joe, you created this situation; now, as you say, grow a spine and own it. His X post came across as bitter and angry, not the image he needs to portray as America’s Grandfather.

The problem I have with the TikTok post is more about hypocrisy than content. Federal employees have been forced to remove TikTok from government phones or computers. But here is President Joe Biden using the TikTok platform to communicate with America’s youth. When Karine Jeanne-Pierre was questioned about Biden’s use of the Chinese-owned platform, she blew off the questioner, claiming this was Candidate Biden and not President Biden ranting on TikTok, so she could not discuss it further because of the Hatch Act. What a crock. Biden signed the bill banning federal employees from using TikTok. I don’t care if Papa Joe uses TikTok to sell his Corvette. He has no place anywhere near the CCP app. This is another example of a two-tier system where rules apply to all except the Bidens.

As advocates for inherent or inalienable, natural rights, the things government shall not infringe, we find the increasing censorship, the narratives about pre-bunking, misinformation, and disinformation … disqualifying characteristics for anyone pursuing public office. It is parentalism, and it needs to stop.

Parentalism is the government or its advocates insisting that you are incapable of something you do every day. Filtering out the truth from fiction, fact from fancy. The state and its allies (media, big tech) must protect you from content that might mislead you … into believing that they are the colluding, misleading, lying, censorious bastards bent on controlling you, your labor, your actions, and the way you are allowed speak and think.

Speech codes, compelled speech, blocking, suppressing, or limiting public expression should all be challenged when suggested or promoted.

Why do you think your constituents, the people, are too ignorant or too stupid to work through the facts on their own?

Better yet, what makes you, or those you’ve chosen or accepted for this task, better suited? If your voters are too stupid to know right from wrong, how could their representative be any better? You, by all rights, are a reflection of their will, and if they are too ill-informed to sift the news, you can’t possibly be much, if at all, more capable.

But you think you are, which makes you the more dangerous idiot because you are the reflection of them with government power, which you have demonstrated a keen interest in abusing.

The result is a system of governance that increasingly treats its people like children, from telling it what it can see or say to medical decisions and whether you even have rights at all and, if so, when and where.

Reinforcing this relationship by re-electing people who foment it will only make matters worse. And while there is a reasonable argument that we’re past being able to vote our way to clean election, you can still do it at the local level.

States have rights, and one of them is to tell the Feds to go to hell. It can refuse to enforce federal laws that contradict state law or the Constitution, and while that won’t always look the way we’d like (Hawaii denying 2nd amendment rights, for example), that culture is likely the only thing standing between you and tyranny from sea to rising sea.

They do not know better what is best for you, your family, friends, or the local community they were allegedly chosen to protect, but if you don’t call the parentalists in government, it will only get worse.

Even though the crypto market has cooled off a little since 2022, the public is still interested and investing in different digital currencies and stores of wealth. Crypto is an exciting investment and trading option that can be very lucrative. However, everything can be undone by simple mistakes that many people investing in cryptocurrencies, even those who have been doing it for some time, make.

Forgetting Password and Seed Phrases

Every crypto wallet requires a password to access. Forgetting your password means the crypto inside it becomes irrecoverable. Many wallets come with seed phrases that can help with recovery if you forget your password, but forgetting this too effectively means your cryptocurrency will be locked away forever.

The best thing you can do, besides creating a strong password, is to keep a copy of your seed phrase somewhere safe where no one else can access it and separate it from your wallet. Ideally, store it in a locked and protected folder on your computer or phone so it is inaccessible if a malicious actor gains access to your devices.

Not Taking Advantage of Available Access Options

The most common ways of accessing cryptocurrencies are through a website, software, or trading platform. But did you know there are additional physical options for doing the same? Options like the Tangem Bitcoin ring make it easy to pay for everyday items easily by tapping an NFC-enabled device.

You get the same convenience a card or cash affords you while enjoying the same security you would when accessing your accounts and funds through a secure website or software. The best thing is that these access options do not require constant access to the server, eliminating a common vulnerability point when paying with crypto.

Accessing Your Wallet On A Public Network

Even though network security has come a long way and man-in-the-middle attacks are not as common as they used to be, there is still a chance of someone intercepting your details when you access your wallet on a public network.

A good security measure is to never connect to a public network, whether accessing your crypto wallet or simply browsing the internet.

Not Knowing About The Latest Scams

Because of how many people do not know about crypto scams, users have lost billions of dollars in the past two years alone, with over $700 million stolen in 2021 alone. These scams can range from simple pump-and-dump schemes to more sophisticated phishing attacks. With phishing attacks, malicious actors can access your wallet to drain it or trick you into sending them crypto.

There are also scams where a legitimate-looking website asks you to log in and connect your crypto wallet to trade. If you give them permission to access your funds or act on your behalf, there is a significant chance you will lose everything in your account.

Cryptocurrencies are still relatively new for many people even though there is a lot of interest around them. Those new to this market are more likely to fall into known traps or make simple mistakes that can lead to huge losses. Knowing where the pitfalls are and what mistakes to avoid remains the best way to protect yourself and your crypto.

The post Avoid These Common Mistakes When Investing in Crypto appeared first on Granite Grok.

Racism is part of every culture and always will be, to some extent, part of the human condition. The issue is how we react to it, no different than the sexes.

The first source for a definition of CRT that I found was Britannica, which says, “critical race theory (CRT), intellectual and social movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category.”

The logic fails right out of the gate. I hate to tell you this, but race, ethnicity, and sex are biologically grounded features of physically distinct subgroups of human beings. We have always been taught that humans are different but all the same on the inside. That is the way it has been taught and the way it should be taught.

According to two of the founders of the new CRT, Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, “Races are products of social thought and relations. Not objective, inherent, or fixed, they correspond to no biological or genetic reality … races are categories that society invents, manipulates, or retires when convenient.”

This also goes beyond logic. Discrimination goes far beyond just that. Short and tall people, fat and skinny people, and intelligent and less intelligent people all have discrimination issues. In many cases, unconscious bias does not kick in until someone speaks or stands up, or in the case of the handicapped, when they can’t stand up.

And there is another group discriminated against, the “Physically Disabled” versus the “Physically abled.” These differences are clear and obvious and cannot be ignored. As Humans with the condition of being aware of differences, we need to learn to be accustomed to the differences and just live with them without prejudice.

Today we have people trying to overcome true science to deny differences in sex. It is scientifically impossible to change a person’s sex. As for living life as One, I am not religious, but if Adam, the first human male, and Eve, the first human female, did not see the differences, the human race would have ended there.

We are slipping, folks. Most of us have been proud to live in the state with this distinctive motto. But, is that all it was meant to be…a motto? Let’s talk about this.

Last fall I noticed that convenience stores were scanning driver’s licenses for proof of age, whether you were obviously an octogenarian or not! Just the idea that anyone would want to look at my license to prove I am over 21 was, I thought, a good reason to always make a wise crack about it! For over a decade (maybe 2 or 3 decades…time is hard to gauge once you get just so old), I would be standing in line and seeing balding, very gray-haired men & women asking for their IDs at convenience chain stores. It appeared there was no sign of aging that would be enough proof that a body was of legal age, so ALL licenses must be viewed. Still, a corporation might have to look high and low for employees who could actually do the math when looking at the date of birth. (see how one problem – failure to educate – leads to another?)

Enter scanners. I just want to point out that there are much less expensive ways to enter the mm/dd/yy and have the age spit back. Suspicious Me believes the ability to collect data was a big selling point of these driver’s license scanning systems.

I have to allow that there could be a situation where the Department of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms or Liquor Commission inspectors might be hovering around these vendors, checking to see if IDs are being “thoroughly” checked. There is no doubt that safety and freedom are each a fraction of one whole. More safety means less freedom and vice-versa. Whether Ben Franklin said it or not, this quote is so true: “Those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

We want to thank Deb Johnson for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

At the time I saw this and became alarmed, I had no idea how fast these scanning systems were being implemented throughout our communities. But, I was alarmed and I did begin a process to stop the use of scanners. See articles describing my experience here and here.

Since those articles were published, quite a few people have contacted me with their personal experiences of driver’s license scanning. Please understand that I realize how busy everyone’s lives are with work and families, and I am not admonishing those who did what they had to do just to get through the day…but…our freedoms are under attack, and we must notice when it is occurring, or we are at high risk of losing freedom.

The 1st step when someone appears to be stepping on one or several of your US Constitutional Rights…walk away if that is an option. Step 2: Do some internet searching or ask a State Rep. if your rights have been violated. Step 3: Keep notes and documentation as much as possible. Step 4: Begin to realize and use your power as a citizen of NH. Step 5: Use our legal system to begin to insist your rights be restored.

Remember, I thought this was a small problem that would be easy to point out and have our system fix the issue. Hopefully, that is the case most of the time, but always remember the truth in knowing “where there is smoke, there is often fire.” We can retain our right to “Live Free or Die” only with enough eyes and ears to guard against the slippery slope.

It seems like she was just a fresh face out of high school only a short while ago, running up and down stadiums belting out feel-good hits about young love.  Today she is Taylor Swift, Super Bowl LVIII Champion.

After another long season wearing down her body, giving her all to her fans, Swift descended onto the field in Las Vegas for a shot at becoming the first female celebrity Super Bowl champion.  Her pre-game warm-up routine was lengthy and comprehensive, as many were questioning if she had the speed and stamina to play on the world’s biggest stage.  As if!

As has become common practice for Sunday warriors, Swift painted her face with dark black rings around her eyes, likely to intimidate her opponents, and bold red markings around her lips and mouth, evoking an almost savage cannibalistic visage sure to drain the blood from the hearts of the men she would soon destroy.  The famous trail of bodies she has left in her wake, notwithstanding last night’s carnage of masculine football hopefuls, was the thing of legends.  It takes a lot of balls to play in the NFL when you’re a 5’11” 107-pound female.  Luckily, she spent the night collecting them from the unlucky sacks on the field.

Early in the first quarter Swift led her team with an aggressive combo air-ground attack that had the San Fransisco 49ers defense guessing what would she do next?  Her usually electric touch turned to bad luck and bad blood as one of her supporting role players fumbled the ball, leading to a 49ers field goal and the early lead.  As the camera panned to the sidelines, she could be seen mouthing “I knew you were trouble” to the dejected receiver who would not return to the game.

Still in the first half Swift set out to score with the new guy on the field who uncharacteristically also came up short on a third down option-pass-read-delay-up-the-middle-Statue-of-Liberty-screen-fake-sweep-back-to-the-sideline-hot-route that had been working all season, however the Niner’s defense read it like an Hemingway novel and forced a punt.  Swift sat on the sideline with a blank space look on her face before coach Andy Reid told her to shake it off and get back in the game.  Moments later, her boyfriend Travis Kelce nearly knocked the coach over in a tirade for having not been in on the crucial third down play, prompting Swift to separate the two and telling Kelce what every emotionally charged lover needs to hear at a moment like that – “you need to calm down,” which he did immediately.

Trailing at the midway point, Swift, rather than watch the unusually tame half-time show featuring a mostly clothed Usher and friends, took the opportunity to motivate her team.  Taking responsibility for her less-than-stellar performance, she told them, “I did something bad,” before reminding them, “You belong with me.” This moment was like “our song,” finally asking them, “Are you ready for it?” repeatedly until she ran out of cliché song lyrics.

The third quarter began with a couple of streakers running out onto the field only to be apprehended by security.  Game analysts Tony Romeo and Jim Nantzipants had a good laugh, as we all know if you want to be on the field naked at the Super Bowl, you need to be part of the half-time show.

A long march down the field culminated in a score off a cleverly designed play called the getaway car, where Swift faked falling down injured, causing the field full of men to rush to her aid only to quickly pitch the ball to an undefended running back who scampered untouched into the end zone.  The mad genius of Andy Reid and his ability to manipulate the opposing team like a classroom full of children tied the game headed into the fourth quarter.

Attempting to mount a historic comeback reminiscent of Bud Light after they cut Dylan Mulvaney to bring Peyton Manning and Emmitt Smith out of retirement, Swift marched her team across midfield before calling a read-option-sequin-dime-trap-curl-route-matrix-collarbone-shuffle-pass to the flat that led to yet another turnover.  The replay appeared to show her pass had been thrown behind the receiver who she was seen berating on the sidelines.  The cameras could see her telling her teammate, “Look what you made me do,” before walking away, muttering what appeared to be, “We are never ever getting back together.”  Heeeellls naw!

Needing a miracle, Swift headed up to the executive boxes, where some of her friends obliged by calling on the Prince of Darkness to stifle the 49ers, who had packed the stands with Bay Area faithful in the familiar environs of Sin City.  As they waved their spiritual gang signs furiously in the air, Swift could be seen slamming back a drink like the big boss lady she is before running back onto the field and sacrificing a live chicken to Molech.

The fourth quarter saw Swift single-handedly bringing her team back from the brink.  After wisely summoning demonic energy to tilt the odds in her favor, she literally ran over the backs of her linemen before throwing a pass to herself to tie the game.  Cameras panned to the celebrity fan box and caught a gape-mouthed Tom Brady jumping up and down in admiration of this gridiron goddess who was shredding his records like an FBI agent.

In overtime, the 49ers could only manage a field goal, which set the stage for Miss Tay-Tay to do the unthinkable.  After fielding the kick-off, she ran headlong into the heart of the 49ers’ special teams’ defense before breaking into a Siren-like song that mesmerized her tacklers and the stadium half-full of ex-boyfriends.  Then, in what appeared to be a series of laterals to herself, she galloped down the field doing cartwheels into the end-zone, winning her first Super Bowl of what fans believe will be many given the steady stream of league “talent.”   Following the game, she thanked black people for the month of February before giving herself the vaunted Lombardi Trophy.

An emotional and still single Tom Brady was seen openly weeping in the crowd.

The state of your dollar just took another kick to the McNuggets. The US Senate has passed a 95 billion dollar “aid” package to the Military-industrial complex under the guise of supporting wars in Ukraine and Israel, planned war in Southeast Asia, and nothing for US Border Security.

On Feb. 4, the Senate unveiled the text of a bipartisan national security bill to provide aid to Ukraine during its war against Russia and Israel during its conflict with Hamas, along with border security provisions, though it was rejected by the body on Feb. 7 after Republicans deemed the latter provisions inadequate to mitigate illegal immigration. A new version of the bill, stripped of such provisions, was passed by the Senate on Tuesday at 6:37 AM by a vote of 70 yeas to 29 nays in extraordinary circumstances, after the Senate remained in session throughout the night.

Remember when Trump couldn’t get a few billion to finish the southern border wall? The same sort of deterrent Democrats use to protect their homes and neighborhoods. It’s pretty uninviting, a wall (it looks like we need one on the northern border now, too). And if you remind the world that we’re not an open door and will follow existing law, there is less incentive for third parties to pay for ships, busses, trains, and planes filled with third-worlders and move them to places from which they cannot advance into the US.

Alternately, even just one billion would provide travel costs to return a significant number of illegals loitering in local hotels, rec centers, airports, and street corners. Put them on a bus to the airport (unless they are living at the airport) and send them back, or – better yet – ship them to Geroge Soros’ home(s), Bill Gates Estate, and Barry Obama’s island mansion.

In Massachusetts, Boston City Councilwoman Julia Mejia is asking residents to open their homes to the invaders. She says it is a shared responsibility. No. Following the law is a shared responsibility, and the Biden administration and Democrat cities and states have been ignoring it for years. Now that they know what that looks like, they’d like to blame and burden you.

Councilwoman Julia Mejia, to the best of our knowledge, has not opened her home up to any illegals as the Democrat Administrations she supports (Boston, Massachusetts, and Biden) continue to violate the law to the detriment of actual citizens and taxpayers.

While in Congress, the people we elected to protect us from the government use it to destroy our savings and our nation.

I think Mr. Trump would have had this all worked out long ago by not blocking a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. Biden did that. Back in 2022, his administration got Boris Johnson to convince Ukraine to bail on a peace deal that would have ended the conflict maybe tens of billions of US dollars ago and a lot of lost Ukrainian lives (for those of you still standing with Ukraine).

You’d be right to ask why.
