What the heck is happening in Maine? The Pine Tree State, Vacationland, has become a Progressive Wasteland. This state is not your Mother and Father’s Maine, where kids used to take time off from school to pick potatoes.

This beautiful state, with its rugged rocky coast, tranquil lakes, and majestic mountains, is being tarnished by its cities filled with homeless shelters and pot shops. Maine is also a complex state, with the Conservative residents of the rural countryside being dominated by the densely populated Liberal cities. This dichotomy is not a situation that is going to age well, and the Progressives are working hard to pass as many Leftist laws as possible before the Right rises and returns sanity to the largest New England state.

This trend can be seen starting in 2016 when marijuana was legalized for recreational use. This decision led to an industry that now ranks only behind Lumber and Lobsters in Maine. Some say it may have started earlier when the Catholic Church brought many Somali refugees to Lewiston and changed the demographics of the region forever. That scenario is now repeating in Portland with busloads of illegals who crossed the Rio Grande becoming the newest residents of Maine. The passing of the most liberal abortion law in the country this past summer and the invasion of the Chinese Cartel setting up illegal pot factories continue to make Maine unrecognizable. However, the Progressives are not satisfied, and this week, they are working on a bill that may make Maine a magnet for a new group of residents. Abortion stirred many emotions and piqued the anger of the true Conservative Mainers, but this new bill may bring those emotions to a boiling point.

Progressive legislators introduced a proposed bill this week that would not only make Maine a sanctuary state for young people who wish to be transgender but will allow the state to remove a minor child from their parents if those guardians are standing between their child and treatment to facilitate their transgender wishes. This bill is so bizarre for traditional Mainers who believe in God, two genders, the family unit, and the belief that the government has no place interfering with the family.

A Maine judiciary committee is moving to create a ‘safe-haven’ for teens seeking sex changes and protection from their parents, but critics have slammed the bill as ‘state-sanctioned kidnapping.’

The ‘Act to Safeguard Gender-Affirming Health Care’ would enable certain out-of-state teens to access hormone blockers or surgery without their parent’s consent, regardless of their own state’s laws.

If passed, LD 1735 would enable certain teens from states that have banned child gender-affirming care- such as Kentucky or Mississippi – to come to Maine, with or without their family, and access treatment.

The bill, brought by Rep. Laurie Osher (D-Orono) in April, would prevent Maine law enforcement from helping out-of-state authorities arrest or extradite patients, parents, or healthcare professionals. Maine would also be able to take ‘temporary emergency jurisdiction’ over minors from other states if they had been brought to Maine to receive sex change treatments. Osher is one of the leaders of the women’s, LGBTQ, and Jewish caucuses in Maine. She was reportedly asked to introduce the bill by advocacy group LGBTQ+ Victory Fund and instructed staffers to model the bill on similar legislation in California.

Maine is not California, and this Progressive movement can not be allowed to sink its roots deep into the Maine soil.

RSA 654:34, which governs how voters may change party registration, makes a bizarre distinction. In one section (I), it says that if you decide to change from one party to another party on the day of a primary, you can’t vote in the primary of your new party.

But in the very next section (II), it says that if you decide to change from having no party to being in a party, you can vote in the primary of your new party.

Say what?  Whether you’re registered as a Democrat, or you’re registered as undeclared, in either case you have told the state, under penalty of perjury, that you are not a Republican.

So in both cases, to let you vote in the Republican primary makes a mockery of the whole idea of a party primary.

Would you be happy if a million Chinese nationals showed up on the first Tuesday in November, voted for who they thought should be our president, and then went back home?

That’s pretty much how GOP members feel when a couple hundred thousand non-Republicans show up on primary day to vote for who they think should be the party’s nominee.

But to make a distinction between cases I and II is like something out of Alice in Wonderland:

Before today, Tweedledum was not a Republican in a different way than Tweedledee was not a Republican, so Tweedledum can have a ballot, but Tweedledee can’t.  Or maybe it’s’ the other way around.

Suppose Tweedledum and Tweedledee both show up at their local polling place registered as undeclared.   Tweedledum switches to being a Republican for the day, and is handed a ballot.  Tweedledee switches to being a Democrat for the day… but changes his mind, and switches again to being a Republican for the day.  So he doesn’t get a ballot.

Is this not insane?  It reminds me of nothing so much as the ATF ruling that if you have an AR-15 with a pistol brace, it’s a pistol, but once you put the brace against your shoulder, it becomes a short-barreled rifle, even if no one else sees it.

As it is currently written, RSA 654:34 encourages people to pretend that they are not affiliated with a party, not because it expresses their independence but because it enables their capacity for interference in the affairs of either party.

If we want to discourage that kind of interference, we should let only registered party members vote in the primaries of their parties.

On the other hand, if we want to encourage it, then we should just let everyone (including people who aren’t registered to vote at all) vote in all the primaries at all the locations.  Ballots for everyone, everywhere!

But to jumble things up this way is just one more reason why anyone with sense must eventually agree with Mr. Bumble that ‘the law is an ass, an idiot’ and stop paying attention to it entirely — whether regarding primaries or anything else.

Which is to say, you can’t enact stupid laws without making the law itself seem stupid.  So we should stop doing that.

Outside of the Granite State, where undeclared voters don’t necessarily pick the Republican Party nominee, the news about Nikki isn’t very pleasant for Nikki.

Yesterday, a Boston Globe poll called it Trump 52/ Haley 35 in New Hampshire. That’s not enough, but let’s say this is where the primary shakes out next Tuesday. What does the rest of America look like?

In another poll reporting Friday, nationally, Harvard/Harris has Trump/Haley 71/9. Morning Consult’s poll has Trump/Haley at 73/14. Messenger/HarrisX (Thursday) 72/13. DeSantis is ahead of Haley in the National Harvard Harris by one point and down two from her in the Morning Consult poll. They are statistically tied in America’s eyes.

Christie’s departure has not added to her “base,” while Vivek’s has added to Trump’s. The Never Nikki crowd has to be thrilled, but that’s not the only bad news for Nimarata née Randhawa Haley. On Friday, Republican US Senator Tim Scott (a former presidential aspirant) endorsed Donald Trump. Lindsey Graham already had, as has the current Republican governor of her home state, Henrey McMaster. (Trump is polling 52/22 against Haley in SC, so it’s not just state-wide elected Republicans).

And Sununu isn’t as popular here as he used to be, which happens when you act like a Democrat often enough that even Independents begin to wonder if they prefer the real thing.

Speaking of which, New Hampshire’s Governor, Chris Sununu, who is promoting Haley like his life depends on it, has won election four times, and not once did either of our US Senators endorse him. Neither Jeanne Shaheen nor Maggie Hassan has offered their support to Chris Sununnu. Maybe they’d like to endorse Haley, as some of their deep-pocketed Democrat donors likely have.

One more point. Haley began downplaying her own New Hampshire surge narrative on Friday. “I said we want to be stronger in New Hampshire — we’re going to do that,” Haley told reporters during a gaggle. “We don’t know what stronger is until the numbers come in.”

The Haley wave refined. As in, I’ve seen the national polls, and I should wave goodbye, but I’ve got all this Left-Wing and Uniparty Military Industrial Complex cash, and I can’t even give it to Trump.

“I don’t ever talk about coming up short or winning if you notice that. I’ve done neither one and I’m not going to until Election Day. That’s the only poll that matters,” Haley said.

And that motivates your supporters how, exactly?

Americans are hungry for a disruptor and whatever comes with it. You’ve been running as the anti-disruptor, and that’s not enough. Democrats don’t play nice or fair, use friendly language, or even act civil, even after claiming they are that very thing. This is a bare-knuckles street fight for freedom. The primary is meant to pick someone with thick skin and an elevated intolerance for bullshit. Our government doesn’t trust us, hates us, suppresses our natural rights, and even the GOP has failed to address systemic irregularities in election integrity.

In other words, maybe none of this matters, but then it does. You can win so hard that cheating can’t stop it, which Trump appears to be doing in the Republican primary. The sort of support a candidate will need to get past whatever the Left is planning for November. And that candidate is not Nikki Haley.

 

The post No Worries Nikki – NH’s US Senators Didn’t Endorse “Their” Governor Either appeared first on Granite Grok.

Apparently, a man in St. Paul, Minnesota, was playing basketball in the gym of his local school on Family Night when his gun ‘went off,’ shooting him in the leg. As those of you who have been following the adventures of Alec Baldwin know, a gun doesn’t just ‘go off’.  Someone has to pull the trigger.

It is being reported that the man was ‘carrying the handgun on his body’, but ‘not in a holster’.  I’m having trouble imagining how that worked unless it was (1) loose in a pocket or (2) tucked into his waistband, Mexican Carry style.  Neither of those seems compatible with being on a basketball court.

In either case, I’m reminded of something that I read once in an article by Roy Huntington, the former editor of American Handgunner.  In his many years as a police officer, Huntington never saw a bad guy carrying a gun in a holster.

I’ve always seen that as a handy rule of thumb.  And I guess that remains true if we expand the word ‘bad’ to include stupid as well as criminal.

Public Service Announcement:  If you want to carry a handgun, please carry it in a holster that covers the trigger.  Incidents like this one make us all look bad.  The rights you save may be your own.  Or, more importantly, mine.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Windham election debacles of 2020 (and 2022), you can search this site for the Windham election or follow this link and jump to 5 hours and 7 minutes. The Granite State has election integrity issues documented by the AG that have yet to be resolved, and one of them is alive and well for the NH Primary.

Note: the ballot pictured in the featured image above is from Windham – November 2022 election

Tom Murray and Ken Eyering explain the ongoing problems, the documentation in hand, and the blatant violations of NH election law – with a state-appointed monitor observing and no one held to account. As we note in the segment, starting at about 5 hours and 7 minutes, this is going on all over the state.

Tom is in the studio; Ken is on the phone – some browsers will block this video (Facebook) and may require permission to show it on the page).

 

 

I share that, to share this. It’s 2024, and one of the problems uncovered in 2020 was shadow votes created by folded ballots where the crease ran through an oval, which the matching read as a false vote.

According to a source, this problem continues to go unaddressed. “There are 14 towns with candidate Trump on the folds on the absentee ballots! His name appears in the slot position 15.”

Alexandria Bridgewater Concord Ward 1 Dunbarton Lebanon Ward 3 Lyme Lyndenborough Nashua Ward 6 Plaistow Rochester Ward 6 Springfield Sugar Hill Wakefield Weare

That source also claims that “They are also pulling the guards off the scanner feeders because of jamming issues. The election manual was updated making it a requirement to do a fold test. The town of Rye requested to do a fold test, and the Secretary of State’s attorney, Bud Fitch, declared it was not necessary.”

Given the state’s history of ignoring systemic election integrity issues, this is likely very reliable reporting, but we did not have time to confirm it.

Is it going to make much difference? No. With an estimated 330,000 Republican ballots being pulled and cast tomorrow – a record, by the way, for an NH primary – the number of absentee ballots won’t dent that but this should have been resolved. It should not happen. Every voter deserves to have their vote counted correctly, even for that stooge Haley.

Overvotes or double votes will fubar the process and the results and that’s unacceptable.

In other words, voters still can’t trust NH election results.

There’s no excuse for it after a costly forensic audit in Windham uncovered issues that we know are duplicated in towns all over the state. But if we were to focus only on the absentee ballot problem, it makes sense to tighten those rules regardless. Only those who are out of town or physically unable to get to a polling station on election day should be permitted to submit an absentee ballot, but then why should we expect anyone to enforce that election law either?

Don’t scoff. Watch the segment I noted in the Video above and then read this again.

 

The post Absentee Ballots Folding on the Bubbles Again – More Shadow Votes in Another NH Election? appeared first on Granite Grok.

I am the only NH Republican candidate in the FITN primary. It is mind-boggling to me that no one is questioning Trump or Haley about the basics of the US loss of sovereignty. We are in the deepest trouble we have ever begun.

In this article I am relying on iinformation submitted by two WHO Insiders to the “grand jury” plan of Reiner Feullmich.  He is now in jail in Germany for having done this.

In the third week of May, every year, the Member States of the UN meet in Geneva. This year they are planning to add words to the “Sanitary Conventions of 1850” that will result — amazingly — in the WHO having tyrannical powers over every nation including the United States. Here are the two Insiders:

Dr. Silvia Behrendt is an Austrian lawyer whose PhD is from the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, on the topic of the International Health Regulations and the Executive Authority of the World Health Organization during public health emergencies of international concern. How does that sound to you?

Behrendt’s colleague Astrid Stuckelberger points out that “the underlying concept used for COVID-19 does not follow established scientific principles, but rather a different ideology which is framed as ‘global health security’ and means to treat health as a national security issue.”

Starting in the 1990s, Astrid says, “WHO institutionalized this new approach by the rapid setup of an entirely new division called Emerging and Other Communicable Diseases. And, interestingly, they didn’t engage the staff of the Communicable Disease Control Department at that time.”  Media coached us to believe that the SARS outbreak had bioterrorist potential. This political bioterrorist framing of the SARS outbreak led to the agreement of the international community that the old sanitary laws needed to be rewritten to include bioterrorism — without naming this goal officially at WHO.

Astrid Stuckelberger (who strikes me as a genius) says that the WHO’s architects arranged this new biosecurity approach “by the rapid setup of an entirely new division called Emerging and Other Communicable Diseases. And, interestingly, they didn’t engage the staff of the Communicable Disease Control Department at that time.” She sees the United States as the main architect of this. Astrid says: “This policy confirmed that the new paradigm shift was from lowering the incidence of regional endemic diseases to the sole focus on preventing the international spread in real time, and most preferably within a 24-hour time frame….” Wow.

Recall how we all fell for that hype? Now listen to Astrid again: “…the outdated sanitary laws called International Health Regulations [previously] had a very narrow scope and applicability only for yellow fever, black fever and cholera. So, particularly in the US, the bioterrorist scenario planning … within the military and at the academic level [held exercises] like Dark Winter. And those events ‘went real’ shortly after that.” OMG.

You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

Furthermore “the legislation in the US was prepared to curtail civil liberties for the fight against bioterrorism from 1990 onwards. This undertaking was started by the CDC and eventually finalized by professors from Georgetown University, like Professor Gostin, together with Johns Hopkins University, and it was called the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act”. Note: a model act is not law. It is a model that states can adopt or modify or ignore.

“The most important milestone in the revision process of the International Health Regulations, which is an international treaty, was the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome, abbreviated as SARS — accompanied by an alerted media attention that was not proportionate to the threat of the disease, which was remarkably low… Then the outdated IHR provisions of disease containment were replaced to include pathogens that pose a threat to national security and require an emergency regime…” OMG, OMG, OMG.   Think of all the current effort to criminalize “misinformation.”

Silvia Behrendt adds:  “If there is no test, you cannot qualify it as the new virus. That’s the problem. The most important thing everybody should know is that the proclamation of a public health emergency of international concern is connected to vaccine manufacturing…. It’s not the pandemic. There is no legal consequence if WHO proclaims or defines a pandemic. That’s just interesting for the media. But the public health emergency is connected to the regulatory pathway for emergency use authorization.” (See my article The DFA’s Authority Is Pure Bluff.)

Also at Reiner Feullmich’s hearings, Virginie de Araujo Recchia asked: “I would like to confirm with you that Mr. Bill Gates put pressure on the WHO to declare a pandemic and that we know that Charité Berlin, which is linked with Drosten, has developed these tests with the financing of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Wellcome Trust. Can you confirm that?

Astrid Stuckelberger: “What we can confirm is that there is really a plan since 1999 that you can see chronologically with events that is mounting up GAVI from the Vaccine Alliance in UNICEF to start joining the United Nations, not only with UNICEF, but with the World Bank and WHO – through financing of this IFFI, the International Financing Facility for Immunization – so, they did a trio, the triad. [“Triad” is the word for it!]

“We have a press release signed by the Swiss government that shows that it was created specifically for Bill Gates, this international organization with total immunity [i.e., immune from lawsuit]. You cannot do anything. You cannot even take him to tribunal. They do their own tribunal if they have any sort of disagreement. [“Nemo judex, anyone?]

“That’s enough proof that there is a plan. And it keeps on. I mean, he [Bill Gates] is in the Strategic Expert Advisory Group. And they prepared even in 2016 an assessment report of this 2012-2020 Global Vaccine Action Plan, GVAP. And in 2016, they were very upset because they did not vaccinate the whole world.”

On that note, let me interject that this is older than you think. I believe the vaccination swindle began in 1798 when “country doctor” Edward Jenner allegedly figured out how to prevent smallpox, and gave the first kid an “inoculation” By 1802, President Thomas Jefferson was aiding the transport of vaccines by allowing free US postal delivery of them.

And by 1806, Spain had sent vaccinators out on “the Balmis Expedition” to cover all of Spain’s territory, including South America. Try to imagine a king reaching out to indigenous peoples for the sake of assisting their health by vaccination.  I don’t think so! (This is discussed in my 2013 book “Consider the Lilies.”)

Silvia Behrendt says “Member States gave their consent in 2005. They all said they wanted to have this new kind of rules for international law, and now they are obliged to implement it nationally. Or since 2007, it entered into force, and they are obliged to implement it. And for example, Austria, I’m living in Austria, we have no emergency clause in our Constitution, and [yet] and you still have the same regime.”

Astrid Stuckelberger:  “It’s the same with the millennium development goals and sustainable development goals, which seem to match 2000 to 2015, 2015 to 2030, the sustainable development goals. They’re doing a whole mechanism around this, and it becomes more and more obscure. And it is more and more obscure how much us, as citizens, really decide. And we don’t decide anything anymore because it becomes so complex and obscure.” [Bullseye!]

Reiner Fuellmich: “We definitely have to take our sovereignty back.” [As mentioned, he is in jail.]

Silvia Behrendt: “And in the EU they have created this HERA agency, which is the same, but probably much more coercive. And that’s a huge, huge problem. They have no authority in health matters, but they still pretend to have it and create the agencies and instruct on us, without democratic processes.”

Reiner Fuellmich: “HERA stands for Health Emergency Response Agency, right? And isn’t there a rumor that: if our national Member State governments in the EU collapse, then they’re going to take over and under the EU Commission, there will be a kind of a mini world government. Does it sound plausible?”

Silvia Behrendt: “I have no idea, but I’m sure they would love to.  [As for] The Rockefeller Foundation, I’ve met them in WHO, they come and sit in meetings, and they are NGO, we don’t know what they are.”

Reiner Fuellmich: “So, the non-state actors are also invited in this new treaty, which would take over literally, through the WHO Constitution – a world constitution – because of “pandemic.” So ultimately what we’re looking at is private associations, private individuals even, taking over our national governments through the World Health Organization, using health as a crowbar to do whatever they want.”  Remember that line: “using health as a crowbar”!

Astrid Stuckelberger: “You can see it through the financing because GAVI and private partners have started to invade and interfere the whole United Nations…. I was called to organize, for Switzerland, the whole United Nations Open Days for two days. I learned a lot about an organization that nobody hears about, which is really a private entity, called the UN Global Compact. [That] Global Compact is only private sector. They can, for example, finance – I mean, it’s open to partnerships.”  Global compact, anyone?

Commentary

I claim there has been a plan on the books since at least 1798, to take over the world. (Please see my 2022 book, “Keep the Republic, Kill the Takeover.”) It is unbelievably lazy and timid of us to let all the “pandemic” nonsense take place — with even an added genocide conducted via the “mandatory vaccinations.”

I was the first person (as far as I know) to rush to US District Court in 2020 and then to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, to try to get a restraining order against mandatory vax, based on the US Constitution’s Fourth Amendment. Even the appeal was dismissed without the other side being asked to reply. Needless to say, courts do not stand up to the Hidden Government. Courts are a cog in the wheel described above by Silvia and Astrid.

Please develop a new action plan. There is no time to lose. You need to think about how to deal with the financial ‘partnerships’ mentioned above. Or how about starting, if you are connected to any university, with the academic acceptance of the ‘biosecurity’ trick. And your local legislature’s swallowing whole the need to stop dissidents from publishing!

You can be sure that the militaries of this world will be the enforcers, and not just in their home country. As I published way back in 2011, in my book “Prosecution for Treason,” we have had since 1990 an unconstitutional entity called The National Guard Bureau, sitting in the Pentagon. It arranges “State Partnerships.”  No, not between Vermont and Utah, but between Michigan and Latvia, and between New Hampshire and El Salvador.  Almost every state in the US today has foreign troops stationed with the National Guard. Naturally, the narrative that goes with that is that the partnerships help less advanced countries learn the ways of democracy. Oh, please.

Neither Nikki Haley nor Donald Trump ever mentions this stuff.  DeSantis is a better bet. In his speeches in NH he shows respect for, and confidence in, the US Constitution.

We are going to lose national sovereignty, Folks.

Even at this stage, the US could pull out of the WHO. Of course Biden will not do that, and 2025 may be too late. Contact me at www.ConstitutionAndTruth.com. We can meet and discuss it.

 

I know that I’ve said a mouthful in this article, but don’t go to sleep. Don’t think that electing new politicians will change anything. They are all in on it, and so are academics. I think they are hypnotized. Ordinary selfishness cannot explain what our leaders do (as in “they want their next promotion, for which they must kiss butt”). Their intelligent brain has to tell them that the Takeover managers won’t look out for them.  Deals will not be kept. Even an idiot can see that.

Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donald says: “ Trump has been there and done that!” Let’s see why: Trump secured the Southern and Northern borders. No Republican candidate has done that. Biden has allowed 10 million illegals (80% of military age) to infiltrate the United States and plans to continue this invasion. Nikki opposed the wall.

Trump unleashed American energy, headed to world energy domination. No Republican has done that. Biden destroyed our energy independence, not to mention Trump’s march to world energy domination.

Trump introduced $2.00 per gallon and 2% inflation. No Republican primary candidate has done this. Under Biden, food prices have risen 33.7%, energy 32.8%, shelter 18.7%.

Trump corralled China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The Trump Tariff raised billions of dollars for the Treasury and convinced businesses to come home with his tax reduction plan.

Trump moved the U. S. embassy to Jerusalem, which every president since the 1950s promised but never did.

Trump exposed the vipers and vampires of the Federal “ Deep State” Bureaucracy and will eliminate them when re-elected.

Senators Mike Lee, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, together with 106 House Republicans and 22 other US Senators, have endorsed Trump because of his accomplishments as POTUS and Trump’s dedication to the rule of law. These Senators know Trump cannot be intimidated or bought. Trump is America First.

So on January 23, 2024, I urge New Hampshire voters to send our fellow Americans a message and vote Trump because Donald John Trump has “ been there and done that”! Our children’s and grandchildren’s futures depend on your vote. The State that started our nation has the opportunity to be the State that saved our Nation.

The post “Been There, Done That” appeared first on Granite Grok.

I was disappointed, confused, and even angry when John Fetterman continued his campaign for Senator from Pennsylvania in 2022 after suffering a stroke. The stroke hampered Fetterman’s ability to speak or think clearly. He needed a teleprompter to read reporters’ questions or the Senate Chamber proceedings.

It did not appear that the candidate stood a chance against Republican Dr. Oz, but he won handily, and it looked like the voters of Pennsylvania had elected a damaged man. There was also the situation with Fetterman’s choice of attire. He opted out of traditional dress suits in lieu of shorts, hoodies, and sneakers. There was an effort to rewrite the Senate dress code to allow the Freshman Senator to sit in the chamber in his relaxed garb, but the Senate came to its collective senses and told John to get dressed or stay in his office. He dressed.

There was no secret as to Fetterman’s political leanings. He was undoubtedly more aligned with Bernie Sanders than Joe Manchin. His leanings, health issues, and disregard, or disrespect, for the Upper House did not endear him to Republicans who thought he stole the election from Oz. His performance in his debate with Dr. Oz was embarrassing, and he checked himself into a facility for treatment of intense depression. Nobody would bet on him serving out his first term. They may all be wrong.

John Fetterman will always describe himself as a Progressive. Still, his comments, stances, and criticism of the Squad and all Radical Leftists have given people, including myself, cause to take a second look at the former small town Mayor. Fetterman claims the Progressives have left the mainstream Democrats, and three issues in particular have separated Fetterman from the Progressive wing: Defunding Police, Israel, and the Border. These issues must be very strong as they are pushing the huge Senator toward the middle.

Fetterman is becoming a go-to member of the Democrat Party and is holding his own. It looks like prayers have been answered, and Fetterman is on the road to a full recovery. Even people like me, who thought he was a mockery of the Senate, hoped the man would recover from his stroke and bouts of depression. His becoming a moderate Senator is something many may have prayed for but held little hope of being answered.

Some of the issues that Fetterman has spoken out on are the chaos at the Border. Sen. John Fetterman lobbied for securing the U.S. southern border, telling CNN on Friday that 300,000 illegal immigrants attempting to enter the country are blocking legal migrants from their “American dream.” This comment flies in opposition to the Progressive policy of no borders. He also has asked that Robert Menendez be held accountable for his ethics violations. His support of Israel is in conflict with the Progressives who support Hamas and Hezbollah.

Fetterman will support and do what he can to bring Pennsylvania in for Joe Biden and his reelection campaign, but he has let it be known that he disagrees with many of the Administration’s policy positions. He may prove down the line to be as difficult for the Democrat Party as Joe Manchin has been. If that is the case, you will see Democrat support for Fetterman’s reelection a feeble effort. In the long run, it may be more than the Progressives walking away from Fetterman; you may see them eat one of their own.
