After months of handwringing and mud-slinging and fear-mongering, the votes have finally been cast, and the outcome has been decided

But a few memes scattered within as well. I don’t want the links that I’ve compiled – important stuff IMHO … Read more
So, what happens if the Trump verdict in New York is overturned or if the fine is reduced to a more reasonable value? (Which — given that normal procedures were followed, and no one was harmed — would be around $10 at most.)
We are approaching critical mass, the point at which all hell breaks loose. The government is pushing us ever closer to a constitutional crisis.
We are one year out from the 2024 presidential election, and as usual, the American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us.
One of the things that often goes under the radar is the appointment and confirmation of federal judges. The process is near constant, but unless the appointee came from a Republican, the media shows little interest, but the bench continues to be a front in the war on liberty whether we are watching or not.
For those who remember the days and months that followed 9/11, there is an unnerving feeling of déjà vu about the Hamas attacks on Israel. The same shocking images of carnage and grief dominating the news. The same disbelief that anyone could be so hateful, so monstrous, so evil as to do this to another … Read more
Those who gave us the Constitution and the Bill of Rights believed that the government exists at the behest of its citizens. It is there to protect, defend, and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them.
“There are instruments so dangerous to the rights of the nation and which place them so totally at the mercy of their governors that those governors, whether legislative or executive, should be restrained from keeping such instruments on foot but in well-defined cases. Such an instrument is a standing army.” -Thomas Jefferson, 1789
If taxation is theft (it is), then what’s this? “[A] forthcoming new law that would permit the government to take away one’s property or goods prior to being charged with a crime.”

Liberty Ballot will make multiple rounds of recommendations for the 2022 New Hampshire Republican Primary. In the second round, Liberty Ballot recommends Jose Cambrils, Elizabeth Ferreira, Michael Sylvia, Doris Hohensee, Larry Borland, and Katy Peternel for State Representative.
This week, the House met to agree (or not) on Senate amendments to House bills and set up Committees of Conference on those we want to either learn more or compromise between the House and Senate positions. SB 200, congressional redistricting, went to Committee of Conference, as expected.
This week, the House met for two days to vote on all Senate bills. Since this is the end of the session, a lot of political maneuvering took place, attempting to add House positions someone felt had not been properly treated by the Senate to bills we felt were important to them.
This week, the House met for one day to finish our House bills, including the ones pushed off from the last session.
