I had sent my previous post to NH GOP Chris Ager and I did get a response back. While he is technically correct, it is still maddening and really bad, Bad, BAD political optics for an NH GOP Officer to rest their endorsement on such a technicality (and yes, I am always running behind and just can’t seem to get caught up). Emphasis is Chris’s:

Thanks.  I’ve talked to Thad and Melissa Litchfield.  The bylaws state “when there is a candidate nominated by the Republican Party for that office“. In this case, town elections are non-partisan and thus no candidates are nominated by the party. My job in upholding the bylaws is not in question in my view.  Even if one believes this is a poor decision, it is not a bylaw violation.

I have reminded the e board, however, that we should be supporting Republicans at all times.

I appreciate the heads up.

As always, I have my own opinion(s) so I sent a couple back (emphasis now is mine):

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply and I’ll add it in as an update.

That said, it’s a REALLY bad case of political optics.  Even with adults, elected officials are role models and this one looks like a loophole that’s being taking advantage of.

Back in the day, I forced Alan Glassman (Belknap Chair at the time), remove Alida Milham as a candidate for the State Committee 2 minutes after announcing she was a candidate after I brought up that she had endorsed TWO Dems over a Republican in a local race.

Methinks that better messaging is needed over this but it’s your call.

-Skip

Glassman was perfectly willing to let Millham slide onto the State Committee if I had not said anything and the fact that she ran both R&D in races for years.  How do you square those two sets of Principles (answer: you can’t).

Thanks. I must follow the rules. Then the voters get to decide.

It is because local races changed from partisan to non-partisan that these hijinks can be carried out by Republicans who would better fit with Democrats but ran as Rs simply because of the times back then when Dems couldn’t win (and in some cases, still can’t but much less so). With this change, and speaking to that last point, it allowed such R actions to happen without consequences. More importantly, this loophole in the Bylaw has, in part, allowed the Democrats to grow their farm league and now we see where Republicans status sits in the State electorally.  That’s why Eric Turer (on the right here) is beaming so broadly as the former Brentwood Dem Chair – he pulled a fast one and Riley fell for it:

Oh, as far as the guy in the middle and just to make sure that he’s a Democrat, here’s the Brentwood checklist (partial, reformatted to better fit here but information is untouched):

Insurance companies have been on the ropes post-COVID response. The wake of the supposed “cure” is dark and littered with an exponential increase in death. Where COVID vaccines proliferate, increases in all-cause mortality follow.

It’s a form of exposure they need to analyze and understand, and the byproduct of that is data that tells unpleasant truths.

• Indiana Life Insurance CEO: Deaths Are Up 40% Among People Aged 18-64
• Financial Meltdown 2.0: Covid Vax Kills Life Insurers
• Insurance Company Refuses to Pay Claim, Says Death by Experimental COVID Vaccine is the Same as Suicide
• If The “Experimental” COVID Vaccine Kills You Your Life Insurer (Probably) Does Not Have to Pay Benefits

Josh Stirling explained to the EPOCH Times what happened when they analyzed the growing pile of data on the numbers of COVID vaccinated and the number of doses for each, compared to all-cause mortality year over year.

What a working vaccine should show and what the data tells insurance companies… and Americans willing to listen.

“If the vaccine is helpful at reducing all-cause mortality, you would see … lower levels or mortality year-over-year because of people who got more vaccine as other places. And you would see an improvement…” Instead when we did that analysis…what you see is … the more doses you have in a region in th united states the bigger increase in mortality that region has had.”

 

Top Insurance Analyst Finds a 7% Increase In Aggregate Mortality for Each C19 Dose Received

Josh Stirling: “The more doses … you have in a [US] region … the bigger increase in mortality …”

“If you’re over the age of 50, and you took all 5 doses, that’d be a 35% increase.”… https://t.co/kyDSySB3Yx pic.twitter.com/d6e3n1zRk6

— The Vigilant Fox (@VigilantFox) March 5, 2023

The tweet alleges a 7% increase in all-cause mortality per dose, which isn’t a quote from the clip, so I went looking – from the transcript (the entire video is over 40 minutes) – subscription required.

 

In that case, it’s all just a question of what is the aggregate level of dosing? In which case, if you use the regression line on that data, you end up being able to very clearly draw a conclusion that says the slope of the line is basically how much mortality increase you’re getting from every dose. It’s about a 7 percent increase in aggregate mortality from U.S. data per dose. If you’re over the age of 50 and you took all five doses, that would be a 35 percent increase.

“It’s about a 7 percent increase in aggregate mortality from U.S. data per dose. If you’re over the age of 50 and you took all five doses, that would be a 35 percent increase.”

He’s not making a partisan speculation. These numbers come from a complex industry analysis of data that tells us that the more vaccinated your state, the higher the rate of all-cause mortality year-over-year.

That includes deaths from COVID among the vaccinated, which, based on everything we’ve seen and shared, results from the COVID vaccines making people more susceptible to infection and transmission. And as I noted here, there’s no plan to address the public health emergency created by the mRNA vaccines.

There are several mRNA spike protein detox protocols out there, but none are approved or mandated by anyone responsible for this mess, and that’s probably for the best. If they stepped up and said try this, your best bet would likely be to avoid it and consult the FLCCC, Americans’ Frontline Doctors, Doctors Malone McCullough, or others.

The divide over the release of the J6 tapes is NOT left versus right … Democrat versus Republican. It is the UniParty, the system, whatever you want to call it, … versus the rest of us. To the extent that Schumer should “held for treason,” then so should the GOP Senators who also attacked Tucker Carlson … who also peddled the false insurrection narrative.

“Republicans” had complete control of government for the first two years of the Trump presidency. Yet we had … at that very time … the Russia-collusion-hoax. Russia-Russia-Russia would NOT have been possible without “Republican” support. Some of us just refuse to see what is in plain sight.

Republicans in the New Hampshire legislature have a pair of bills working their way through the process that protect parents’ rights. The opposition position states unequivocally that “parents do not have the right to know what is going on with their children in schools.”

The political left is fighting for net-zero transparency. They don’t want to have to explain what they are doing with your kids. It’s the sort of thing they do in a cult, but taxpayer dollars pay for this cult. It is robbing parents to then deny them access to whatever is being stuffed into these children’s heads.

It’s fascist, actually, and while NHGOP Chair Ager has some strong words for the antics of NH Dems, he doesn’t go that far.

Concord, NH – House and Senate Republicans Defend Parents’ Rights in Concord with two Parental Rights bills. New Hampshire Republicans stand firmly with Granite State families and parents and our Republican majorities. Chairman Chris Ager released the following statement:

“Parents have every right to know what their children are being taught, what they’re struggling with – personal or academic.

As a parent and grandparent myself, I find it astonishing that Democrats, teachers unions, and LGBTQ+ activists are opposing this, arguing that parents do not have the right to know what is going on with their children in schools.”

House Bill 10 and Senate Bill 272 would institute a Parental Bill of Rights aimed to codify a parent’s right to raise their children and clarifies that schools are not allowed to withhold information regarding that child’s academic or emotional wellbeing.

The fact that these bills are even necessary and that Democrats and the cultural left would rise in opposition tells you more than you need to know. Dictators, tyrants, and despots steal children from their parents. They program them to be good political party slaves. Sometimes they even have them spy on their guardians. Report them to the politicheskiy rukovoditel; the political officer.

That is the position of New Hampshire Democrats and their allies who oppose transparency and accountability. A precedent that isn’t limited to public education. The goal is to take your money, and they refuse to tell you anything about how they spend it because, in their mind, it belongs to them.

Remember you didn’t build that? It also applies to your children, and we shouldn’t need more laws, but here were are, and here they are opposing them.

 

Example of Parental rights from HB10.

 

169-I:4 Parental Rights.

1. All parental rights are reserved to the parent of a minor child in this state without obstruction or interference from the state, any of its political subdivisions, including, without limitation, any school board, school district, or school administrative unit, any other governmental entity, or any other institution, including, but not limited to, all of the following rights of a parent of a minor child in this state:

(a) The right to direct the education and care of his or her minor child.

(b) The right to direct the upbringing and the moral or religious training of his or her minor child.

(c) The right to apply to enroll his or her minor child in a public school or, as an alternative to public education, a private school, including a religious school, a home education program, or other available options, as authorized by law.

(d) The right to access and review all school records relating to his or her minor child, pursuant to RSA 189:66, IV.

(e) The right to make health care decisions for his or her minor child, unless otherwise prohibited by law. This right includes decisions pertaining to end-of-life treatments and care for a child with a terminal condition.

(f) The right to be physically present at any health care facility licensed pursuant to RSA 151:2 at which their minor child is receiving hospital care.

(g) The right to access and review all medical records of his or her minor child, unless prohibited by law or if the parent is the subject of an investigation of a crime committed against the minor child and a law enforcement agency or official requests that the information not be released.

(h) The right to consent in writing before a biometric scan of his or her minor child is made, shared, or stored, pursuant to RSA 189:65 and RSA 189:68.

(i) The right to consent in writing before any record of his or her minor child’s blood or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is created, stored, or shared, except as required by general law or authorized pursuant to a court order.

(j) The right to consent in writing before the state or any of its political subdivisions, including, without limitation, any school board, school district, or school administrative unit; and pursuant also to the provisions of RSA 189:68, III- V, makes a video or voice recording of his or her minor child unless such recording is made during or as part of a court proceeding or is made as part of a forensic interview in a criminal or other investigation by the bureau of child protective services or is to be used solely for the purpose of a safety demonstration, including the maintenance of order and discipline in the common areas of a school or on student transportation vehicles;

(k) The right to be notified promptly if an employee of the state, any of its political subdivisions, any other governmental entity, or any other institution suspects that a criminal offense has been committed against his or her minor child, unless the incident has first been reported to law enforcement or the bureau of child protective services and notifying the parent would impede the investigation.

The post Democrats That Oppose Parental Rights Support…The Fascist State Ownership of Children appeared first on Granite Grok.

We learned that it was a really good day for gun rights, school choice, property rights preservation, and saying NO to things like carbon taxes and green energy schemes. Republicans were truly in the majority today, and we accomplished some very good things!

We learned that the House agreed with the revenue estimates established for the next biennium budget by the Ways and Means Committee. Their plan passed with a resounding YES on OTP by a voice vote.

We learned that the Reconsideration motion for HB498 – The Fish and Game bill that was to require Fish and Game Officers to obtain search warrants when they search someone’s car or boat, failed by 256-117. That bill was voted on the last House session, and there was a motion made to reconsider the vote. That bill still stands as an ITL, and no changes to that part of the fish and game statute will happen. The 4th amendment lost.

We learned that the House passed HB31 (196-176), which repeals the prohibition or sale of blackjacks, slung shots (yes – that is what they are called), and metallic knuckles. A continued ban violates the right to self-defense. Courts have ruled that hand-held weapons like these can be, and are, used in self-defense, so it is unconstitutional to ban them. Seeing as these things can be just as damaging as baseball bats, wrenches, and other similar commonly used items that are not banned or illegal, it made sense to repeal the ban. Of course, Democrats like Rep. David Meuse (D-Portsmouth) are now very worried that horrific things will happen and NH will become a den of unfettered violence.

We learned that it was a good day to protect 2nd amendment rights from the anti-gun crowd. HB32 having to do with possession or discharge of a gun in a safe school zone, died 199-174. HB59 having to do with background checks on commercial firearms sales, and the non-existent “gun show loophole” died 197-175. HB78– repealing the prohibition of our state from enforcing federal statutes, regulations, or Presidential Executive Orders, was killed 200-173. HB106 – relative to extreme risk protection orders (i.e. red flag laws) was killed 198-172. While Democrats whined over the need for Red Flag laws and what other states have put into place, Rep. Terry Roy (R- Deerfield) stated, “You don’t lose your rights because of what you MIGHT do” and “I don’t care what other states do because this is NH.”

We learned that dimethyltryptamine (DMT) will remain on the NH-controlled drug list despite its use for religious reasons. HB216 died with a solid 274-97 vote. House members obviously weren’t thrilled with the prospect of having unintended consequences occur from full-on legalization of this hallucinogenic/psychedelic substance.

We learned that the House passed HB624 (220-152), which would require law enforcement to provide 24 hours’ notice about where and when they will conduct immigration checkpoints. Doing so kind of defeats the purpose of conducting these security measures with regard to illegal immigration and border control, but then again, 4th amendment rights are also to be considered. Again, the 4th amendment lost. We’ll see what the Senate thinks.

We learned that Education Freedom Accounts were under attack but were protected and expanded by the Republican majority. HB367 passed by a slim 187-184. This allows for the qualifying family income threshold to be raised from 300% to 350% of the federal poverty level, allowing for more students to participate in the program. HB440 was passed 191-185, which would add funding of EFA’s to the Education Trust Fund uses. HB464 was passed 192-184, and that bill expands eligibility of certain groups of students regardless of the income of their parents. So kids in foster care, kids with disabilities, kids who are homeless, kids who are bullied in school, and kids with other issues, can now take advantage of the EFA program. It was felt that the most vulnerable students should not be forced to stay in public schools which do not adequately serve them. Of course, Democrats who cater to the teacher’s unions were upset at the passage of these measures, even though this really was “for the children.”

We learned that landlords’ and property owners’ rights were protected by Republicans today. Several bills having to do with limiting what property owners and landlords can and cannot do were killed today. HB112 regarding tenants’ notification of the property sale was ITL’d by a voice vote after the Ought To Pass (OTP) failed 199-175. HB117 was passed 211-157, and that had to do with the termination of tenancy once a lease is up. HB401 was ITL’d after the OTP failed 213-154. That bill dictated when a property owner could renovate or rehabilitate a property that had tenants. It also discouraged renovation or rehabilitation by making it difficult for property owners to do so. HB469 died by voice vote after the OTP motion failed 206-165. That bill would have forced property owners to take Section 8 tenants.

We learned that HB154 passed 192-180, and this bill changes the manner in which public health ordinances are locally adopted. It simply requires majority approval of any new public health ordinance by the town legislative body. So for instance, if a mask mandate is adopted by the state, and ergo their appointed town health officers, a municipality can choose not to adopt it. Funny thing was that in this instance, the Democrats became quite concerned about government “overreach.” That is weird since that never seemed to bother them before.

We learned that Democrats wanted to ban gasoline-powered vehicles in NH with their vote on HB92 requiring the adoption of “innovative” vehicle emissions standards pursuant to section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act. Luckily, the Republican majority killed that with a vote of 194-171 and ended up ITL’ing the whole mess after the OTP (minus the failed amendment) ran out of gas and failed 331-40.

We learned that we had the votes to kill a carbon tax bill, HB372. It would have wasted time with a commission study on carbon pricing mechanisms. The OTP motion on this bill died 188-163, and it subsequently was ITL’d with a voice vote that the speaker determined represented the repeat vote of 188-163. More humor at the end of the day came from our petite Rep. Notter (R-Merrimack) when she delivered her floor speech and declared, “I’ll be short.” Indeed she is, and she was…but what she had to say was spot on!

We learned that it was a very long day, and we averaged getting through 3-4 bills in an hour. This is becoming the norm with bills coming to the House floor with no Committee recommendation, endless roll call votes, and House members who, for some reason, enjoy speaking at length when they should probably understand that they are saying really won’t change anyone’s voting position on a bill.

We learned again the importance of showing up and staying in one’s seat until you are told to go eat or until after the third reading when we can go home. Again we are reminded: When Republicans show up, we win.

I met Maya on September 7, 2021, at the Bedford polls while Linda Camarota’s special election was being stolen from her by way of same-day voting, but I digress already. My encounter with her was pleasant, and she gave me the business card that identified her as some GOP staffer.

She was visibly upset at Murphy’s Taproom after the election results became available.

On November 19, 2021, Chuck Morse voted to sell NH’s state sovereignty to DC despite being aggressively urged not to by the citizenry. He voted with the worst of the senate enemy camp (Rosenwald and D’Allesandro) despite having just heard well-spoken, passionate statements by Senator Giuda and then Gary Daniels. That day in Concord will live in infamy.

Anyway, back to Maya, she became a front-line campaign staffer, along with Rep Sweeney, when Chuck sought higher office. Thank God, General Bolduc beat him in the primary. I would like to credit myself with a small part of that, which absolutely incensed Maya. I stood outside (on public property) for many scheduled Chuck Morse appearances, and Maya would always express her disapproval of my free speech. I even have reason to believe that she was the one who called the Windham police on me outside their high school access road on April 23, 2022. That was when all the Republican delegates had met, but I’m trying to stay on topic here, Maya. Maya’s reactions to my presence (holding a sign criticizing Chuck’s 11/19/21 voting record) have ranged from begging me to stop all the way to outright anger.

Sometime after Chuck lost his primary to General Bolduc, I was told that she was wearing two hats, one being a senate staffer and another whose title escapes me for the moment though the informant expressed concern that it was a conflict of interest (citation needed). On Inauguration Day, I was standing outside Scanlan’s office with a large poster of His Excellency with a piece of tape over his mouth and the word “amen” written on the tape. The caption said, “had the NH9 arrested for peaceful assembly at a public event.”

BTW, the trial for Nurse Terese, one of the NH9, starts on June 28. I said, “hi, Maya,” in a civil manner with a witness present. Her smarmy reply was, “hi Julie, new year, old you.” The witness and I then looked at each other and laughed at the snark in her talk.

Maya recently blocked me from her personal Twitter account, but I understand that any INDIVIDUAL Twittering in a PERSONAL capacity can do that to anyone. Actually, I find this particular situation an amusing badge of honor. But with that said, I have reason to believe that she is responsible for my being blocked from the NH Senate Twitter account. More on that in a moment.

On January 28, the Republican delegates met at the Trump event hosted by Salem High School. Maya, operating in some (citation needed) professional capacity, spotted Nurse Terese and her husband in line waiting to be admitted. Maya was observed loudly saying to Terese something like, “I can’t believe you want to be here with all us RINOs.” She was later observed inside squirming on the aisle floor and in front of the stage with her camera and wearing a dress that most people would not select during an NH winter, if you get my point. I say “squirming” rather than pole dancing because, if asked about it, a possible defense reply might be that she was angling for the perfect photo shot. Whatever.

During a “meeting of the minds” among the Resolve supporters the next day, one participant, whom I will not identify because I hadn’t sought courtesy permission to, expressed concern about “someone’s” behavior at the event the day before. This unidentified person was careful not to mention names, but it was very obvious that Maya was the one being criticized for a variety of subversive and rude behaviors. I leave it up to the readers to make what they want out of that.

This morning while looking for a particular picture that the NH Senate account had previously tweeted, I noticed that I had been blocked. Wow! I should also point out that my reply to one of Tuesdays Women’s Day-themed posts has been removed. For what? Hurting someone’s feelings? Was it because I shared a June 2020 photo of incumbents Sharon, Ruth, and Regina with candidates Denise, Mariellen, and Carla with a caption that said “Team Senate Women (had the last two elections gone correctly)”?

Was it because I insulted the wardrobe of the District 11 incumbent? Was it because I commented that Jeb was wearing His Excellency’s preferred fashion; a baby blue shirt with a brick-red tie? Or was it that I commented on a picture of Jeb writing a postcard to some South Dakota school group with “I hope you said ‘let’s trade governors’?” Oh, oh, oh, I think I know what it was, the 2023 senate team picture! I had commented on that post with a “Melanie’s Century 21 blazer does NOT belong in Gary Daniels’s seat.”

This begs the question of silencing members of the citizenry by social media admins of elected bodies. If any attorneys are reading this, I would like a legal opinion on that for the sake of ALL Live Free or Die Staters. A constitutional scholar has said many times that being polite is NOT a requirement regarding our rights, free speech being one of them.

I have a 91A right-to-know request submitted to find out who the NH Senate Twitter account admin is, and I think it’s Maya. Hopefully, Concord is faster at answering RTKs than Nashua City Hall! We’ll see.

Anyway, back to the original question, who is Maya? I will leave it up to the readers to decide. I don’t want to take credit for any name-calling, but the point of this article is to bring certain FACTUAL occurrences to everyone’s attention and inspire their own creativity.

There was a time when the census was just a head count. That is no longer the case. The American Community Survey (ACS), sent to about 3.5 million homes every year, is the byproduct of a government that believes it has the right to know all of your personal business.

“Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficent.”
—Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis

If you haven’t already received an ACS, it’s just a matter of time.

A far cry from the traditional census, which is limited to ascertaining the number of persons living in each dwelling, their ages and ethnicities, the ownership of the dwelling and telephone numbers, the ACS contains some of the most detailed and intrusive questions ever put forth in a census questionnaire.

At 28 pages (with an additional 16-page instruction packet), these questions concern matters that the government simply has no business knowing, including questions relating to respondents’ bathing habits, home utility costs, fertility, marital history, work commute, mortgage, and health insurance, among other highly personal and private matters.

For instance, the ACS asks how many persons live in your home, along with their names and detailed information about them such as their relationship to you, marital status, race and their physical, mental and emotional problems, etc. The survey also asks how many bedrooms and bathrooms you have in your house, along with the fuel used to heat your home, the cost of electricity, what type of mortgage you have and monthly mortgage payments, property taxes and so on.

And then the survey drills down even deeper.

The survey demands to know how many days you were sick last year, how many automobiles you own and the number of miles driven, whether you have trouble getting up the stairs, and what time you leave for work every morning, along with highly detailed inquiries about your financial affairs. And the survey demands that you violate the privacy of others by supplying the names and addresses of your friends, relatives and employer.

The questionnaire also demands that you give other information on the people in your home, such as their educational levels, how many years of school were completed, what languages they speak and when they last worked at a job, among other things.

Individuals who receive the ACS must complete it or be subject to monetary penalties.

Although no reports have surfaced of individuals actually being penalized for refusing to answer the survey, the potential fines that can be levied for refusing to participate in the ACS are staggering. For every question not answered, there is a $100 fine. And for every intentionally false response to a question, the fine is $500. Therefore, if a person representing a two-person household refused to fill out any questions or simply answered nonsensically, the total fines could range from upwards of $10,000 and $50,000 for noncompliance.

While some of the ACS’ questions may seem fairly routine, the real danger is in not knowing why the information is needed, how it will be used by the government or with whom it will be shared.

In an age when the government has significant technological resources at its disposal to not only carry out warrantless surveillance on American citizens but also to harvest and mine that data for its own dubious purposes, whether it be crime-mapping or profiling based on whatever criteria the government wants to use to target and segregate the populace, the potential for abuse is grave.

As such, the ACS qualifies as a government program whose purpose, while sold to the public as routine and benign, raises significant constitutional concerns.

The Rutherford Institute has received hundreds of inquiries from individuals who have received the ACS and are not comfortable sharing such private, intimate details with the government or are unsettled by the aggressive tactics utilized by Census Bureau agents seeking to compel responses to ACS questions.

The following Q&A is provided as a resource to those who want to better understand their rights in respect to the ACS.

Q:  What kind of questions are contained in the ACS?

A:  The ACS contains questions that go far beyond typical census questions about the number of individuals within the household and their age, race, and sex. The survey combines intrusive questions with highly detailed inquiries about your financial affairs. Furthermore, the questionnaire also demands that recipients provide information about their family and other  people in their home, such as their educational levels, how many years of school were completed, what languages they speak, when they last worked at a job, and when occupants of your home are away from the house.

Q:  How will this information be used?

A:  The Census Bureau states that information from this survey is used to assist a wide variety of entities, from federal, state and local governments to private corporations, nonprofit organizations, researchers and public advocacy groups. The Bureau lists 35 different categories of questions on its website and offers an explanation on how the information is to be used.  For 12 of those categories, the information is used to assist private corporations.  For another 22, the information is used to aid advocacy groups, and in nine of those cases, the Census Bureau states that the responses will be used by advocacy groups to “advocate for policies that benefit their groups,” including advocacy based on age, race, sex, and marital status. Thus, information obtained through the ACS is not simply used to inform government policy in a neutral manner, but is also being provided to private actors for the purpose of promoting corporate and/or political agendas.

One concern raised by the Brookings Institute is the use of ACS information by law enforcement for  “crime mapping,” a surveillance tool used to predict crime and preemptively target certain neighborhoods for policing. It is “most effective” when “analysts can see the relationship between various types of criminal incidents (e.g., homicides, drug dealing) and neighborhood characteristics (risk factors such as poverty, population density, and vacant housing), pinpoint where crimes are most likely to occur (hot spots), and focus police resources accordingly.” The Brookings Institute notes that because the ACS provides data every year, rather than every ten years, crime mapping is more effective and cheaper.

Q:  Are my responses kept confidential?

A:  While the Census Bureau claims that an individual’s information will be kept strictly confidential, it does require a recipient to put their name on the survey, ostensibly for the purpose of asking follow-up questions in the event of missing or incomplete answers. This means your answers could be linked to you even if it is forbidden by law to share your individual responses.

Q:  Am I required by law to fully complete the American Community Survey?

A:  Federal law makes it mandatory to answer all questions on the ACS. A refusal to answer any question on the ACS or giving an intentionally false answer is a federal offense. The Census Bureau also maintains that responding to the ACS is mandatory and that recipients are legally obligated to answer all questions.

Q:  Is there a penalty for refusing to answer American Community Survey questions?

A:  The law requiring answers to the ACS also provides that a person who fails to answer “shall be fined not more than $100.” The actual fine for a refusal to complete the ACS could be much greater because a failure to respond to certain ACS questions could be considered a separate offense subject to the $100 fine.

Q:  Has the government prosecuted persons for refusing to answer the American Community Survey?

A:  While The Rutherford Institute has been made aware of Census Bureau agents engaging in harassing tactics and threatening behavior, to date, we are unaware of the Census Bureau having levied any financial penalties for non-compliance with the ACS. However, a refusal to answer the survey violates the letter of the law and a prosecution might be brought if the government decides to adopt a policy to do so.

Q:  How does the Census Bureau typically ensure that people complete the survey?

A:  Those who do not answer the ACS risk repeated overtures—by mail, by phone and in person—from Census Bureau employees seeking to compel a response. Typically, the Census Bureau will telephone those who do not respond to the survey and may visit their homes to coerce the targets to respond.

The Census Bureau boasts a 97% response rate to the survey via these methods, but critics argue this constitutes harassment. One recipient who did complete the survey but whose answers were misplaced by the Census Bureau wrote about his experience. First, a Census Bureau employee left a note at his apartment asking him to contact her. When he did, the employee asked him to allow her into his home. When he refused, the employee “turned up twice unannounced at my apartment, demanding entry, and warning me of the fines I would face if I didn’t cooperate.” Only after he filed a complaint with the Census Bureau did the agency realize he had actually completed the survey, thus ending its attempts to enter his home.

Q:  Is this an unconstitutional invasion of privacy?

A:  There are significant and legitimate questions concerning the authority of the government to require, under threat of prosecution and penalty, that persons answer questions posed by the ACS. The ACS is not part of the enumeration required by Article I of the Constitution, and that constitutional provision only applies to a census for purposes of counting the number of people in each state. As noted, the ACS seeks much more information than the number of persons in a household.

In other contexts, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that citizens have no obligation to answer questions posed by the government and are free to refuse to do so. This same principle could apply to questions posed by ACS agents.  However, because the government has not brought a prosecution for a refusal to respond to the ACS, the question of a person’s right to refuse has not yet been decided by a court.

Q:  What are my options for objecting to the ACS survey as an intrusion on my Fourth Amendment rights?

A:  If you receive notice that you have been targeted to respond to the ACS and you desire to assert your right of privacy, you can voice those objections and your intent not to respond to the ACS by writing a letter to the Census Bureau. The Rutherford Institute has developed a form letter that you may use in standing up against the government’s attempt to force you to disclose personal information.

If you are contacted by Census Bureau employees, either by telephone or in person, demanding your response, you can assert your rights by politely, but firmly, informing the employee that you believe the ACS is an improper invasion of your privacy, that you do not intend to respond and that they should not attempt to contact you again. Be sure to document any interactions you have with Bureau representatives for your own files.

If you believe you are being unduly harassed by a Census Bureau employee, either by telephone or in person, it is in your best interest to carefully document the time, place and manner of the incidents and file a complaint with the U.S. Census Bureau.

Remember, nothing is ever as simple or as straightforward as the government claims.

As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, any attempt by the government to encroach upon the citizenry’s privacy rights or establish a system by which the populace can be targeted, tracked and singled out must be met with extreme caution.

While government agents can approach, speak to and even question citizens without violating the Fourth Amendment, Americans should jealously guard what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis referred to as the constitutional “right to be let alone.”

The post The Right to Be Let Alone: When the Government Wants to Know All Your Business appeared first on Granite Grok.

I don’t follow a lot of sports, there isn’t enough time, or they’ve tripped one too many woke-wire culture-mines and have lost my support. And I never followed women’s competitive powerlifting, but folks do, and that’s great if you are into it, unless it’s in Minnesota.

 

USA Powerlifting is being forced to include biological men who identify as women in the women’s divisions of their competitions after losing an anti-discrimination lawsuit last week.

A Minnesota state court ruled the organization must revise its policy within two weeks and allow trans-identifying men to compete in the women’s categories, per Fox News. They are being called to “cease and desist from all unfair discriminatory practices,” which in this case means limiting inclusion based on gender identity.

Forget jokes about the Soviet-Era East German “women’s” swim team. We’re talking about actual men who power lift competing as women. Men who are middling athletes at best compared to the gods of the sport. But as women, they have an opportunity to excel and simultaneously kill any enthusiasm among biological women to join the sport.

Any competitive sport requires a considerable investment in time and often money to train—years invested in the idea that if you become your best, you might be the best. If you’re a woman in Minnesota, you have to ask yourself if it’s worth the time, and that applies to any sport anywhere the culture has kneecapped girls and women by allowing men to compete as women.

And here’s where I think Title IX gets tricky. It was meant to provide equal access and opportunity for girls and boys (or men and women) in sports. Does knowing you may have to compete against a biological boy rob you of access or opportunity? Does it dissuade girls thinking about sports from joining, not because they are sexist or bigoted but because the system has imposed a new glass ceiling that will be nearly impossible to break?

The science is clear. Given similar size and training, boys and men have advantages. Even after extensive hormone treatments, those born male have something like a 12% advantage out of the gate, and that number only gets more significant based on other variables.

The Left likes to talk about the pay gap. Maybe they need to start talking about the gender gap they’ve created that treats girls and women in sports like second-class citizens.

For their part, USA Powerlifting isn’t giving up. They don’t believe men should be competing in the women’s category.

 

 “Our position has been aimed at balancing the needs of cis- and transgender women whose capacities differ significantly in purely strength sports,” the organization’s president, Larry Maile, said in a statement.

“We have received a summary judgment decision from the Court finding us liable for discrimination. We respectfully disagree with the Court’s conclusions. We are considering all of our options, including appeal,” Maile continued.

If the case rises to the US Supreme Court, how does that story end? Do the Justices declare Minnesota’s Human Right Act, which prohibits barring men from women’s competitions, out of order?

And does Justice KBJ have to recuse herself?

Yep, that’s right.  Instead of doing the right things by the right process (e.g., not properly noticing the Budget meetings, not making the proper motions, seconds, and votes on changing line item amounts, trying to circumvent NH’s Right To Know Law) that tainted / despoiled their work (look what happens when you try to cut corners, kiddies) so as to make it unusable, a motion was made to table the Delegation’s budget and just accept the Belknap County Commissioners’ budget.

See above that last line in the image above – the work of Commissioners Peter Spanos, Glen Waring, and Stephen Hodges (all Republicans if I remember correctly) that will take 35% more out of your wallet for County taxes.  In this time of financial instability, this is putting Government over taxpayer wellbeing.

Nice to see that Republicans are now starting to be with the Progressives in stating that your money is really theirs’



Belknap County Delegation: Motion made and seconded to table the Delegation’s budget to accept 35.4% percent rise in taxation of the Belknap County Commissioners to accept the 35.4% percent rise in taxation of the Belknap County Commissioners.

Sidenote: Too easy to give up? Or WAY too easy to make a political point against those pointing out errors in trying to make them the fall guys? I’ll go with both.  Led by Chair Harry Bean and Travis O’Hara (Republicans).

Voting to raise your taxes because they can’t get the job done:

• Chair Harry Bean (R-Gilford)
• Richard Beaudoin (R-Gilford)
• Steven Bogert (R-Laconia)
• Mike Bordes (R-Laconia)
• Matt Coker (D-Meredith)
• Russ Dumais (R-Gilford)
• David Huot (D-Laconia)

Voting and showing that they care more about your wallets than the wants of Government:

• Barbara Comtois (R-Barnstead)
• Nikki McCarter (R-Sanbornton/Tilton)
• David Nagel (R-Gilford)
• Travis O’Hara (R-Belmont)
• Tom Plojszaj (R-Center Harbor)
• Lisa Smart (R-Meredith)
• Charlie St. Clair (D-Laconia)
• Paul Terry (R-Alton)
• Doug Trottier (R-Belmont) (9)

Motion failed 7-9.  I’m amazed at the pique shown by the Republicans that voted for that and punted their responsibilities.

And where did that pique come from?  At the sake of repeating myself, this:

A good leader listens and uses persuasion to bring people on board

A bad leader merely berates and scapegoats in coercing them to change.

Guess which one is the operative on in this clip from Monday’s Delegation money with Chair Harry Bean front and center (“Belknap County Delegation Chair Harry Bean calls for working together then stomps on his tongue”):

Aggro-Culture: Farmers’ Protest Brings Brussels’ EU Quarter to a Standstill

Convoys of tractors brought traffic in Brussels to a standstill Friday, as thousands of Belgian farmers protested the Flemish regional government’s plans to limit nitrogen emissions from agriculture.

Some 2,700 tractors rolled into Brussels from the Flanders region, according to police estimates, filling the streets with a cacophony of honks as farmers vented their anger over the planned cuts, which they say threaten to put many of them out of business.

Stillborn in Singapore – Vox Popoli (voxday.net)

My expectation is the latter, and we’ll have confirmation of that as governments start hiding their population and health statistics in a futile attempt to prevent the vaxxed from realizing what has been done to them and their children. I say “futile” because, sooner or later, the reality is going to become obvious to even the most thoroughly brainwashed individuals.

Dr. Naomi Wolf: “So the next generation of little boys doesn’t even have to be vaccinated in order to have their masculinity impaired. But she also found that they were degrading the Leydig cells and the Sertoli cells in the testes, which are literally the factories of masculinity. So literally, we don’t know if these little boys of vaccinated moms are going to turn into men, essentially.”

So here’s what I predict – as I’ve said before

1. People who finally understand that they or, worse, their children, have been permanently harmed sterilized by the Jab will go see lawyers, and will be told “They’re immune from liability… sucks to be you, don’t it”.
2. They’ll go to their lawmakers and be told the same thing.
3. They’ll scream at their doctors and pharmacists, etc., and be told the same thing.
4. They will gather, really start digging, and find out that Pfizer and Moderna et al knew, and knew early on, and yet the Jabs were called SAFE AND EFFECTIVE and given & pushed en masse anyway. They’ll realize just how many of them in this same boat there are.
5. And then they will start organizing “3 AM social calls” on pharma employees and facilities in the area.  In the former, LinkedIn and MeWe will be of enormous help in this effort.

Note that, again, I will not condone such action beforehand, but… were I on the jury, I’d accept “They needed killing” as the defense.

World Stability (broad catch-all):

Points for Your Consideration

So the West pushed a false narrative to plant military forces on the Russian border. Add in a criminal money laundering scheme under the Obama/Biden administration, bioweapon laboratories, NATO malfeasance, mix liberally with a healthy dose of media propaganda, fraudulent elections, Presidential impeachments and an apathetic populace to put the world on the precipice of a nuclear world war.

And still people do not care. They accept the propaganda, tolerate the continual money transference to Ukraine with no accountability and watch television.

Meanwhile, Russia grinds forward.  And as it does?

The Fall of Bakhmut, Is This the Prelude to the Fall of Ukraine? | The Gateway Pundit

The fall of Bakhmut is a major blow, not just to Ukraine, but to the United States and NATO. This sets the stage for the West doing something desperate while Russia is content to continue to pulverize what is left of the Ukrainian military.

As it does, IMHO, the likelihood of some kind of “rationalizing event” – i.e., false flag – grows to pull NATO into direct conflict.  And in reading this, it suddenly hit me… I’ve long believed the Globalists would fake a “Russian” cyberattack on the West.  Would they go all out and false-flag an EMP on the West?

12 Days to Armageddon: Iran Poised to Enter the Nuclear Age – PJ Media

The date when Israel is going to try to destroy Iranian nuclear infrastructure is not far off. Prime Minister Netanyahu is not going to listen to Joe Biden despite the threat of an aid cutoff. And with Russian President Vladimir Putin getting closer to Iran, the possibility of a regional war, if not a world war, becomes a frightening prospect.

This will be a flash point, possibly literally, whether you like it or not.  And IMHO this cannot stay regional.  Related:

Biden Sets Israel on Fire – Tablet Magazine

Betting that Netanyahu will continue to sit on his hands is not a strategy. So, the Obama officials running Biden’s Middle East policy are set on bringing down Bibi. Their instrument is his domestic opposition, galvanized to thwart his proposed judicial reforms.

IMHO, this can only be made sense of by grasping that the Potato Obama/other handlers wants Iran to be a nuclear-power.  Whether or not one cares for Israel – I do, obviously – this is NOT a good thing for regional, indeed, world stability.  Remember that in Shia Islam the earthly paradise predicted, with the 12th Imam coming back, cannot happen without a world-wide conflagration.  To a believing Shiite Muslim, world-wide, cataclysmic war is a feature, not a bug.

There has been no shortage of video or testimony in which an adult or student steps up in front of a school board or some committee and reads from the books these schools claim are suitable for your kids.

Related: If Keeping “Porn” Out of School and Public Libraries Is Banning Books, Then ….

Local media, which defends the Liberals defending the books and carries their book ban narrative water, cannot include that content in their news coverage or live feeds. It is too explicit for the general public.

But it’s okay for kids; if you object, they call you a fascist book-banning Nazi. For a book that a parent can buy online or at almost any bookseller.

Banned?

Not any more than the absence of a comprehensive list of back-issues of Hustler, Penthouse letters, or any of the thousands of explicit materials (with or without the articles) not banned but conspicuously absent from public school libraries.

The book-banning narrative is a lie and hoax, but sexualizing other people’s children has become a hill to die on for public schools, school boards, Superintendents, democrat politicians, and progressive identity politics groups appropriately referred to as groomers.

Sexualizing children is grooming, so own it.

As for DeSantis, he has been the tip of the spear when it comes to opening up the soft underbelly of this hoax. Florida passed The Stop Woke Act, and as is their practice, the Lfft labeled it book banning, among other things.

Governor DeSantis held a press conference to discuss the Act, which addresses both CRT and the porn books in schools issue) to refute false claims about the legislation and what the law says and does.

The media showed up to live stream and report on this event in hopes of catching Governor DeSantis acting like the fascist book-banning nazi (no doubt). That didn’t happen, but the opening video presented content so explicit that the Television media reportedly cut their live feeds for that portion.

 

Gov. DeSantis’ press conference on the Book Ban Hoax was being live-streamed on social media and carried live by local news. The stream was CUT because the books (found in schools!) were too explicit. Sensitive Content warning on Twitter.

From Real Clear Politics. “The video is so graphic that YouTube does not allow it to play on other websites, …”

This is what you get if you try to share it.

 

 

If you want to see it (content warning), you can watch it here, but much of what you’ll find has already been shared on our pages. This link is, however, an excellent resource to share with the confused or misinformed.

As noted above, the media could not share the video presentation live or on tape. They, too, would have to point you to it. It is too explicit.

Does this not prove a point?

If the books these progressives defend are too sexualized and explicit to be shown to the general public, why are they obsessed with exposing children to them? Why do these adults want to sexualize children? And why do they want it so badly that they would lie about book banning and intimidate or lie to parents who have questions or concerns?

The simple answer is that we are right. It is a gender warrior propaganda recruitment camp. Cultural Marxism. They want to sterilize your children and expose them to hormone drugs that could kill them. To trap them in a lifestyle choice they are not old enough to understand, cannot possibly give consent, and from which they may not be able to return.

You are sexualizing them to make them sexless. Or are you grooming them?

 

Here is the DeSantis press conference if you have the time (absent the above).

 

De Santis on this being equal to book banning: “It is a hoax and a hoax in service to trying to pollute and sexualize our children.”

 

 

 

The post Media Has to Cut Live Feed From DeSantis Press Conference: Content From Books in Public Schools Was Too Explicit appeared first on Granite Grok.

I was embarrassed over the blank stare on Karine Jean-Pierre when asked for the White House comments on the weekend assault on the Police Training facility in Atlanta, Georgia. I was also enraged more than embarrassed.

The Press Secretary responded that she, and the White House, were unaware of the assault. Are you kidding us? Is the White House staff on vacation every weekend like the President? Is there a news blackout at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue from Friday until Monday?

A group of 23 camouflaged and armed assailants threw Molotov cocktails, rocks, and other injury-causing projectiles at police and into the Cop City Compound. The Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, dubbed ‘Cop City’ by its opponents, is a $90 million, 85-acre training space, according to the Atlanta Police Foundation. The facility includes classrooms, a shooting range, a mock city for “burn building” and “urban police” training, and a course for emergency vehicle driver training, according to the city. Officials said the remaining 265 acres of the property, which until 1995 served as the Old Atlanta Prison Farm, will be preserved as “greenspace.” Much of the facility is under construction.

Groups have been protesting the facility since 2021 with the intent to stop the construction. Only 2 of the 23 arrested are Georgia residents. The remainder are from states in the Northeast, Canada, and Europe. The 23 are being arraigned today on charges of Domestic Terrorism. With so many having no ties to Georgia, one can only hope they are all held without bail. If released, these people will flee, never to be seen again.

The attackers claimed to be in the area to attend a music festival and participate in peaceful protests against the Cop City facility. I am not sure I have ever attended a concert in fatigues, tactical armor, and Molotov cocktails in my backpack. This is the story they are sticking with.

The fact that Karine Jean-Pierre was able to disavow any knowledge of the incident is telling and concerning. This gang was an international contingent bent on hurting Police officers and destroying a Police training facility. There is no excuse for the White House staff, including President Biden, to be ignorant of this story. KJP looked foolish and inept to have to plead ignorance to the question. It is concerning why Biden does not show concern for incidents involving Police officers, but, then again, his actions of late domestically support the America Last philosophy many accuse the President of having. Then again, maybe it should be expected now, and the President has yet to visit East Palestine, OH, the scene of the toxic railway spill. Out of touch or apathetic? You be the judge.

There are many reasons why Joe Biden needs to step up his game. He has been absent when he should be front and center with some of these national events. His doctors tell us the President is in perfect health, but only a week later are removing cancer spots from his body. He has yet to announce he is running for re-election and the rumblings are getting louder that he will not. The First Lady had a terrible response when asked to comment on Nikki Haley’s idea of means testing every President over 75 years of age. She called it absurd and would never be discussed. Over 60% polled disagree with the good Doctor Jill. And finally, the heat is being turned up on Hunter Biden and Joe is surely tied to many of Hunter’s sins. The cards are getting stacked against Joe Biden, and maybe he should just call it a day and be satisfied with a one-term Presidency.

One problem with shining sunlight (the best disinfectant) on things is that those exposed as crooks, cads, liars, or despots make it personal. We’ve had some experience with that, and we’ve discovered what may be the best way to respond.

Double-tap. Hit them again. And again. Keep unloading truths because the odds are good that they will continue to prove you right and provide more of that rhetorical rope by which they’ve figuratively hung themselves.

Tucker Carlson knows this. He’s a multi-platform titan with a rare trait in modern media. He’s willing to lay it out and let you decide what it means. Scoring tens of thousands of hours of Capitol Hill CCTV footage from January 6th was huge, but the more significant win was the sunlight continues to expose.

“We’re Learning Exactly Who the Liars Are…”

So, here’s Tucker, revisiting what we can see compared to what they have said and continue to say…by which we mean the lying.

“WARNING-GRAPHIC FOOTAGE: Fox News host Tucker Carlson fires back at critics who are outraged over his airing previously hidden footage of the January 6 Capitol breach on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

From Part 1:

• The Reps that are being scapegoated by Harry Bean are Reps that have experience in doing these budgets. They also know the Law better than he does. And they have no problem calling out lapses in Following the Law and/or mistakes.

Why?  Because these Reps stand on Principle and the Law. They were also were targeted by the Democrat founded, funded, and led Citizens for Belknap PAC.

Citizens for Belknap RINO Report

Behold, all you Republicans and Independents who thought you were “saving Gunstock” – watch what your fealty to a lie (Gunstock never had to be saved but it was a GREAT political stunt on many levels) has brought you – the operative word is “Incompetence“.  All the way around. And while I am pointing at Harry Bean, it really is the voters that decided “we will get the government we voted for”.

Indeed you have!

NH State Reps Barbara Comtois and Paul Terry were among those targeted by the CoB PAC (Political Action Committee) that spent 10s of thousands trying to get all Conservative Republicans kicked out of office – and did. Except for these two (and a couple others). As you look at the main table, they are on the far side, upper right hand corner.  Barbara is in the middle and she let’s loose on all the things that Harry Bean, as Chair, SHOULD have been doing but failed to do.

Again, to keep in mind

A bad leader berates subordinates

A good leader persuades those not acceding to his wishes.

And this video, we can see Harry Bean (aided by another CoB “selectee” Travis O’Hara) complaining and trying to blame her for pointing out all the things they’ve done wrong.  Talk about misogynistic behavior (heh!) and “blame-shifting”. Take responsibility much, boys?

Sidenote: talk about bad representation. Why, Travis O’Hara, are you not showing up at the State House to do the jobs you were elected for? Yes, another tip came in. Another post is coming your way.

And as you saw in Part 1, my Right To Know showed that Bean and Schakett were not telling the truth when they said that every meeting had been properly noticed. However, it was rather humorous to listen to them because I had done the exact same amount of homework that Comtois had done in scouring the Daily Sun and watching for notices on the Delegation Schedule. Thus, I KNEW they were lying to cover their a$$e$.

And here’s the relevant parts from RSA 91:A that Comtois quoted from and Bean/O’Hara ran roughshod over

• …Except in an emergency or when there is a meeting of a legislative committee, a notice of the time and place of each such meeting, including a nonpublic session, shall be posted in 2 appropriate places one of which may be the public body’s Internet website, if such exists, or shall be printed in a newspaper of general circulation in the city or town…
• …Minutes of all such meetings, including nonpublic sessions, shall include the names of members, persons appearing before the public bodies, and a brief description of the subject matter discussed and final decisions. The names of the members who made or seconded each motion shall be recorded in the minutes.

Follow The Law. Except, I guess, when said Law is quoted by a girl (see where I’m going with this?).

And that’s just the first part of the video. It was rather “interesting” to watch NH State Rep ask THE relevant question about who had the Responsibility for making sure that the subcommittee meetings were to be posted. Finger pointing Hilarity ensued as Bean / Schakett / O’Hara tried blaming each other.  So what was the result of all this?

Very telling as again, another little birdie sent this to me (and Harry Bean won’t be able to figure it out) – emphasis mine:

Subject: meeting

Good morning,

Because the Budget Review Committee meetings were not publicly posted, the Committee will have to schedule a properly posted meeting to ratify the action taken at the previous meetings. This should be done with enough time remaining in March to properly notice a Delegation meeting to follow through with last night’s agenda.

Once the respective chairmen set the meeting dates/times, you will be notified.

Debra

So, after all the sturm und drang in trying to put Barbara Comtois in a bad light simply because THEY messed up, that THEY screwed up and couldn’t take care of the most basis steps in “The Process”, they finally admitted to it. Methinks my Right To Know, and the answers they HAD to return, had something to do with it.

So, when do the apologies to Barbara Comtois happen?  As the saying goes “When do I get my reputation back”?

But WAIT!  There’s MORE for this show

From: Debra A. Shackett <dshackett@belknapcounty.gov>
Date: Tue, Mar 7, 2023, 3:55 PM
Subject: Budget Review Committee
To: Debra A. Shackett <dshackett@belknapcounty.gov>

The Budget Review Committee will meet on Monday, March 13th at 7:00 pm to ratify action taken at their previous meetings.

Heh!  This will be enjoyable. It is clear that they have no idea…shades of that Code of Ethics stunt years ago in Gilford.

You know, WHY is Harry Bean lamenting “why didn’t you help me when I screwed up earlier?”.  That answer is simple – because you showed that you are a “Strong Horse” kind of politician. Many people will abandon Principles when it becomes clear that they will keep them from achieving their aim.  He saw that the Democrat PAC Citizens For Belknap was out to wipe out as many conservative Republicans in the Delegation as they could. He perceived that they were the “Strong Horse” and decided to get in their wagon (my opinion) because Loyalty to friends that had helped him in the past didn’t matter in the present. His lifeboat only had room for one.

What mattered? Only winning.  And staying Loyal to those now under CoB attack that had considered him their friend were no long in his cards – but winning was. This is why he ended up picking fights with those former friends and then was able to blame them for woes (and complained that they wouldn’t talk to him any more – that he told me himself during this past Gilford Old Home Day. Gunstock was such a convenient excuse for him.

Then he decided that wasn’t enough. After all, in the parking lot of the Superior Court, he decided to end ours by insisting, then screaming, that I had called him something that I never did because I don’t swear (well, maybe a “damn” every couple of years; I will admit to that but I immediately apologize. And sometimes I do when quoting someone else that did. I apologize for that, too). He wouldn’t accept that he was wrong – he just wanted to cut ties and declare another set of victimhood.

And now he’s mad that the folks he abandoned to win his race (and continue to get “his” FRM Ponzi scheme money back in some fashion) won’t help him? 

So these posts, Harry, are not about revenge.  That’s too petty. It IS about consequences from your past and present actions. Decisions have consequences and you are finding out what they are.  The LACK of decisions, like proper posting of Public Meetings, also have consequences and from Shackett’s emails, it’s clear you have no clue still.

There are a few adjectives that describe that behavior – but I’ll let him tell you himself.  Let’s see if he’s honest enough with himself to admit because the rest of us already know what they are. Will he be willing to share them with his new CoB buddies, too?

Lie down with dogs, don’t be surprised if you wake up with fleas…

Orson Welles had people jumping out windows in his 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ science fiction classic “War of the Worlds” because they feared the Martian invasion was actually occurring.

The historic milieu of 1898, when Wells published his story, may explain its dramatic impact in 1938. Bad news was causing overwrought emotionalism: the Great Depression, Hitler’s international belligerence, and ironically enough the 1937 Hindenburg explosion, which was the first live disaster broadcast . Current events instigated psychic preparation for mass delusion. The radio broadcast hoax provided the precipitating event.

Today, our political leaders are attempting to recreate Wells’ (Orson changed the spelling of his last name to match the author’s) mass delusion of 1938. After allowing the Chinese espionage dirigible to float over most, if not all, of our ICBM missiles, B-52 bomber sites, and military installations, POTUS consults with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretaries of Defense, State, and Justice.

According to our Mainstream Media, a collection of the greatest military, strategic and political minds of modern history. Their meeting results in the earth-shattering decision to shoot three more objects over our airspace out of the sky, originally identified as UFOS. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief that the potential Martian invasion or not Chinese attack had been prevented.

In a few days, it becomes clear beyond a reasonable doubt that a hoax, equal to the Great Hoax of 1938, had been perpetrated on the American public. There were no Martians; there were not even any Chinese balloons. The MSM Greatest Cabinet Ever, using our most advanced jet fighters with at least four $400,000 missiles, destroyed one of our own weather balloons and a child’s scientific experiment while the third balloon is unexplained to date. Not surprisingly, our boneheaded leaders are unable to recover the debris.

You cannot make this insanity up.

What do Barbie, Amerigo Vespucci, Joe Franklin, Crab Meat, Paddlefish, false teeth, and dishwashers have in common? March 9th is their Day!

It’s also national meatball day and National Get Over It Day. For example, Tucker Carlson is showing America the J6 Capitol Hill CCTV video, so get over it, you meatball.

On this day in 1776, Adam Smith published the influential economics book “The Wealth of Nations.” The Russian Bolshevik Party became the Communist Party in 1918. And in 1961, Soviet flight Sputnik 9 carried and returned from orbit a dog named Chernushka (Blackie), frogs and a guinea pig.

The 1834 Coinage Act is a very important Act to understand, because the Supreme Court later misattributed false monetary theories against it, to deviously uphold legal tender paper currency, ultimately depriving Americans of both gold and silver coin.

What is the most important takeaway from the J6 tapes? If you answered … that the insurrection narrative was a lie, you still really don’t get it. The most important takeaway is that both sides … that is the Republican Party to some extent … were and remain, at a minimum, in on that lie. In other words, obviously NOT every single Republican, but clearly “Republicans” such as LEADER Mitch McConnell and his fellow corporatist/globalist/endless-war/ grifters, were and remain invested in the false insurrection narrative, which has been used by the FBI as a pretext to crack down on America-First Republicanism. The J6 tapes have revealed that Mitch and his ilk are NOT on your side.

And which “Republicans” in New Hampshire are also NOT on your side? Sun-King Chris Sununu and his fellow faux-fiscal conservatives, faux-limited government NHGOP grifters … that’s who. Not a word of contrition, retraction, even qualification for the tweets below. Faux-fiscal-conservative and faux-limited government Sununu and his faux-fiscal-conservative and faux-limited government cronies, sycophants and hangers-on are NOT on your side:
