Every time I see a Maggie Hassan commercial, my stomach turns. I have researched each and every one. Some are lies. Some are damned lies. But each one seems to say that she is “fighting” for New Hampshire citizens—for our values and way of life. I am a California refugee so maybe I just don’t understand how what she is doing could (in any universe) be seen as fighting for New Hampshire.
To me, she has unlocked the Gate and turned loose the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Here is what those Four Horsemen look like:
1. WINTER BLACKOUTS: I wrote two articles documenting what Maggie Hassan has done—along with her “buddies, Elizabeth Warren, Markey, and the “sky is falling” ruling class of New England—to eliminate our ability to generate electricity. She and her buddies have blocked hydroelectric power from Canada; forced the shuttering of any and all fossil fuel generation plants; shut down the Vermont nuclear station; prevented the construction of the planned second nuclear reactor at Seabrook.
Moreover, her buddies in New York have blocked any and all natural Gas pipelines from Pennsylvania’s Appalachian and Marcellus shale natural gas basins(where we could have tapped into enough natural gas to fully fuel all our electrical needs).
What Hassan has done is eliminate the ability of New Hampshire to generate enough electricity to meet the needs of its businesses, homes, and infrastructure. And, most importantly, done nothing to replace what she eliminated. Eversource says it is working on increasing solar and wind but admits that such projects have only just begun and won’t help for years if not decades.
Because of the Jones Act, we can’t even import LNG by sea because the Jones act requires us to use American-flagged ships to transport American LNG from one American port to another. Rather we must go on the “spot” market and compete with the entire world for what we need.
As a result, the head of Eversource announced just a few days ago—in an open and urgent letter to President Joe Biden—explained the dire emergency we face in New England. He warned that “Rolling Blackouts” are in our future unless immediate action is taken. The head of ISO New England – the operator of the power grid in New England – joined in that warning.
Sooooo? —Maggie Hassan is “fighting” for us? Rolling Blackouts are a familiar experience in California. Simply put, the lights will go out in entire sections of New Hampshire. Maybe it’s one hour. Maybe two. Maybe four. Maybe it’s half of Nashua; maybe it’s all of Nashua. And when the power comes back on…well, those “power surge” plugs—they don’t work.
2. EMPTY DIESEL TANKS: The Democrats – you know them well: Joe Biden, Maggie Hassan, Chris Pappas, Anne Kuster, and all the others running for State Rep and State Senate – have promised us two things for decades: “Elect us” they say and we will destroy the Fossil Fuel industry and allow unlimited abortion right up to the moment of delivery (and in some cases beyond).
They have aggressively pursued both. Their efforts to eliminate — thru heavy taxation, regulation (elimination of pipelines like Keystone XL), and thru increasing the royalty charges – oil production has been successful beyond their wildest hopes.
But, they did not focus their hatred of fossil fuels on just production. The real “killer” for people like you and me — you know, people that don’t want to freeze in the winter nor starve to death – is their attack on the oil refinery business. Over the past 50 years, they have shut down refinery after refinery. Today, the number of refineries is a small fraction of what we used to have back in the 1960s.
Moreover, no new refineries have been built since 1976. The last refinery — a small one — was built in North Dakota. The refineries we have are old and tired. They break down a lot. They go offline.
“Build new ones,” you say.
Not a chance in hell says the oil industry.
Chevron CEO Mike Wirth says he does not expect another refinery to be built in the USA — ever. Why? Because the policies of the Federal Government are so restrictive that he says he cannot justify financially investing billions of his shareholders’ money on a project that will take ten years to build to produce fossil fuels that the Democrat Elites say they don’t want.
The result: Not only will we not have electricity, but we are running out of Diesel fuel. Several major oil industry spokesmen have issued urgent warnings—we are down to a 15 day supply of diesel. So are the states south of us to and including Georgia. Reports are coming in daily all over the East coast—no diesel at Gas stations. Supply terminals reporting — no diesel to deliver.
When the Biden administration was asked what are they doing about it they responded by saying that we need to help our European allies who are paying top dollar for diesel. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE PLAN IS TO SEND SCARCE DIESEL, REFINED IN THE USA, TO EUROPE BECAUSE THEY ARE PAYING A HIGHER PRICE THAN WE ARE.
Airplanes need diesel. Trains need diesel. Farm tractors and many cars, pickups, and construction vehicles all need diesel. Everything you buy—gas for your car; heating oil; food; clothes appliances; fertilizer; you name it; — all get to you using diesel.
No diesel means a shutdown of everything. Does limited diesel mean sky-high per gallon prices—10 $; 12$: 15$ ????
Hassan is fighting for New Hampshire? Has she even mentioned electricity or diesel in any one of her campaign ads?
3. FERTILIZER; FARM ANIMALS; CHICKEN FEED: When Hassan and her buddies declared war on Fossil fuel, they also declared war on a whole lot of items that they say cause Global warming. I have listed three items just as examples:
Fertilizer: to make fertilizer, you need natural gas. Natural gas supplies nitrogen thru ammonia which they refine. The whole process involves fossil fuels and produces methane. Moreover, they claim that the nitrogen we put down in our cornfields somehow is a pollutant. The Hassan crowd could not stand to allow such a “horrible” thing. They swung into action with taxes, regulations, and outright bans. They were quite successful: fertilizer prices have skyrocketed. Farmers throughout the USA have either eliminated crops or reduced crops because the price is now prohibitive. We as a country are at this moment living off last year’s harvest. Next year, we will live off a vastly reduced harvest with no relief in sight. Food prices-as a result-are predicted to skyrocket. Some say 10%; others say as much as 65%. And that is on top of what has already happened.
FARM ANIMALS: In California, I had a lot of farmers as clients. They were constantly calling me to help deal with the regulations on cows, poultry, sheep, etc. Nancy Pelosi. Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsome, and all the environmentalists that funded them wanted the farm animals gone. The claim: is that these farm animals emit methane.
One of the laws that I dealt with required all cows to have a methane collection device hooked up to both their mouth and their rear. Each cow had to have a registration number and a meter that various inspectors could monitor. It was really strange to see a cow outfitted with such devices.
Under the recent “inflation reduction Act” methane gas is heavily taxed under a cap and trade system. Not sure how you measure it from a cow or a chicken but most of the farmers I knew are out of business.
CHICKEN FEED: I throw this one in here just because it has an immediate impact on me. I take it real personal as do my chickens. Hassan and her buddies want to ban all backyard chickens, turkeys, etc. There are all kinds of regulations they have proposed or are pending – most of which would outlaw anyone from owning or raising them. The immediate effort is to raise the price of chicken feed. I used to pay as little as 12 dollars a bag for the good stuff. Now it costs 22 dollars. And it is really hard to locate.
SO WAIT—LET’S SEE—NO ELECTRICITY THIS WINTER; NO DIESEL; NO FERTILIZER OR FARM ANIMALS-IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE MAGGIE HASSAN IS DOING TO FIGHT FOR US?
WEREN’T THERE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE? OH YEAH, HEAR THE HOOVES A’COMING:
SHE WANTS TO TERRORIZE YOUR KIDS BY PLACING A FEDERAL “COP” IN EACH NEW HAMPSHIRE SCHOOL.
Consider this proposal by the Joe Biden/Maggie Hassan Federal Dept of Education:
TITLE IX RULE CHANGES: Presently pending for public comment, the Federal Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights, has put forth proposed rules changes to TITLE IX. TITLE IX was passed in 1972 to root out racial discrimination in public schools. It was an extremely well-drafted and well-received set of laws that have been, at least in my eyes, very effective in accomplishing its goal.
One of the things it did was to aggressively attack racial discrimination but it did so within the framework of respecting the Constitutional Rights of Due Process.
Any lawyer will tell you that your Right to Due Process is one of the most important Rights you have. It means that police cannot interrogate you against your will. It means you have the right to know what the charges are against you; who is claiming to be the complaining party regarding your crime; who are the witnesses who will testify. It means you have a right to an attorney. A right to cross-examine the witnesses. It means that you have the right to a fair trial presided over by an impartial judge who is someone other than the arresting officer or the prosecutor.
Under the proposed rule changes, all such notions of due process are gutted. Under the proposed rules, each school — elementary, secondary, postsecondary, even private (anyone who receives any federal money) must appoint a TITLE IX COORDINATOR.
This coordinator wears all the important hats: He/she is the investigator; the arresting officer; the prosecutor; and HOLY SMOKES, THE JUDGE.
No written complaint is made to the coordinator by the victim. The complaint can be oral and kept confidential to protect the victim’s privacy. The coordinator can also receive complaints from people other than the victim. The coordinator can proceed even if the victim says nothing happened.
All teachers, employees, and students must report to the coordinator any suspicious conduct or facts whether they think a violation has occurred or not.
The coordinator’s reach is far and wide.
He/she has power over all school activities and any activity that affects school activities. For example, two students say something to each other after school while playing a video game. Someone gets offended and says “I cannot do my school work because of what those boys said.”
The coordinator has the authority to proceed.
The coordinator has the power then, upon receiving a complaint, to investigate by interviewing witnesses, and alleged perpetrators, review school records, and medical records and consult experts. He/she also has the power to appoint at taxpayer expense a lawyer to help the victim, and a medical team to provide supportive care. And can adjust the “victims” school work to alleviate the problems created by these two boys.
If the coordinator determines that enough “evidence” (and the coordinator is the sole judge of what is evidence and what is sufficient) is received, he/she can bring charges against the student, teacher, or employee.
And to whom is a complaint made? Why, to the Coordinator of course. The coordinator is also the Judge who determines if a violation has occurred and what punishment is to be administered.
The “Respondent” has no right to an attorney—unless the coordinator allows it. The Respondent has no right to cross-examine witnesses — the coordinator does the cross-examination and limits questions to the victim that he/she determines are relevant.
The coordinator then determines punishment: RE-EDUCATION CAMP: suspension; expulsion; criminal referral. The real punishment however is the public shame brought down on the student— even applied to first graders and pre-school (yes that is right in the rules changes).
AND WHAT IS THE LAW THAT THE COORDINATOR IS NOW ENFORCING: the proposed rule changes include a new set of laws to deal with “sex discrimination”. The rule change explanation makes it clear that the changes are primarily intended to focus on the “gender“ identity discrimination against transgender or transitioning kids. The old law prohibited discrimination based upon sex. The new laws say that this is insufficient to focus on the problem (if a boy thinks he is a girl trapped inside a boy’s body, what good is it to say that boys and girls must be treated equally).
The new law is that Title IX prohibits “sex-based harassment” which “subjectively and objectively” creates a hostile environment impairing the victim’s right to fully participate in a school-related activity.
So — a varsity football player, during practice, calls one of his teammates a name commonly used to refer to cats. A “transitioning” boy-to-girl student walking by hears it and gets upset. She files an oral complaint with the TITLE IX COORDINATOR. The complaining party says that she/he cannot do her homework because she is so upset by the comment.
The TITLE IX COORDINATOR INTEROGATES- one by one- the entire football squad and the coaches. The coordinator then files charges against the offending varsity player as well as against the entire football team for not reporting the incident and against the entire group of coaches for not reporting the incident.
THE TITLE IX COORDINATOR THEN ORDERS THAT THOSE CHARGED ATTEND A “TRIAL” IN WHICH THE TITLE IX COORDINATOR IS THE JUDGE; NO WITNESSES ARE CALLED AND NO EVIDENCE IS GIVEN BY THE PROSECUTION (WHO IS THE TITLE IX COORDINATOR.) HE/SHE FINDS THEM GUILTY. HE ORDERS THEM ALL TO ATTEND COUNSELING WHERE THEY ARE INSTRUCTED ON THE TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY.
FURTHER THE TITLE IX COORDINATOR CALLS FOR A SCHOOL-WIDE CONFERENCE WHERE THE INCIDENT IS USED TO “INSTRUCT” (TERRORIZE) THE STUDENT BODY AND THE TEACHERS INTO THE NEED TO SURRENDER TO A POLICE STATE WHEREIN ALL TEACHERS, ALL EMPLOYEES, ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT ON THEIR FELLOW TEACHERS, EMPLOYEES, STUDENTS ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS.
AND WHERE ALL STUDENTS ARE CLEARLY INSTRUCTED THAT THE TRANSGENDER RELIGION/IDEOLOGY NOW REIGNS SUPREME AND ANY ASSERTION BY A BOY THAT HE IS A BOY OR ANY ASSERTION BY A GIRL THAT SHE IS A GIRL WILL RESULT IN CHARGES, AND PUBLIC HUMILIATION.
How about a second example: the same transitioning from a boy to a girl runs into the girls’ bathroom? He/she exposes his/her genitals to a young lady who wants to be a young lady. The latter objects to the intrusion of her privacy and orders the boy/girl to leave the girls’ bathroom and “take that disgusting thing with you” ( referring to the boy part of the boy who wants to be a girl).
Both file a complaint with the TITLE IX COORDINATOR. He/she decides the problem is that the girl who wants to be a girl is harassing the boy who wants to be a girl and files charges against her. After all, he/she is the cop, the prosecutor, and the judge. He has that power.
“Hold on”, you say.” Won’t the New Hampshire state government prevent this?”
Doubtful. Right in the rule changes, the federal government asserts its right to PRE-EMPTION: IF THERE EXISTS A FEDERAL LAW AND A STATE LAW ON THE SAME SUBJECT, AND THEY CONFLICT, THE FEDERAL LAW PREVAILS.
What about my school board? Won’t they find a way to protect my kids?
Seriously? Have you seen who has been elected to the school boards? They are all frothing at the mouth to enforce these new rules.
Where did this set of rule changes come from?
Beats me. The people who authored it are not elected. I don’t know their names. Do you? They are career bureaucrats – never elected- who love the idea of making a law that imposes their viewpoint on you.
Seems like we got rid of that back in the late 1700s. Damn. I guess it did not work.
Sooo—as I started out—Maggie Hassan and all her Democratic buddies in Washington and here in New Hampshire ( Kuster, Pappas, and all those pesky State House and Senate Democrats) envision a world of hurt for all of us.
It is a world they designed, they planned and they are executing.
They are quite proud of the world they are creating and don’t give a hang who suffers.
I wish I could say that we could reverse what they have done just by voting against them out.
Sorry—but what they have done will not go away so easily. Maybe it will never go away—that’s how much they want to hurt us.
HASSAN AND HER DEMOCRATIC BUDDIES HAVE UNLEASHED THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE.
Grab the ones you love and hunker down. The world is going to become a place of misery and suffering. Too late to stop it.
Little time left to pray…so start now and make it good.
God bless!
