Since well before we eagerly leaped into the world of high technology, we gave very little thought to the possibility that someday we would find ourselves at a perilous fork in the road as a society, culture, and country.

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (03/09/23)?
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!
State’s Are Adopting Digital Drivers Licenses – A Digital Identity That Could go Well Beyond Driving
A handful of states have embraced or are testing the use of a digital driver’s license. A virtual passport in your smartphone that links your digital person to the real one. Advocates are selling it as a way to provide credentials everywhere you go, and why exactly would we need that?
The Real Reason Democrats (Still!) Want the IRS To Spy on All of Your Bank Transactions
Democrats want to spy on all your banking transactions, and when that story broke, a few things happened. First, almost everyone got the story wrong. Now it has been reported that Democrats are backing off. No. No, they are not.
The Biden-istas (WRBA) Want to Extend Exemption to ‘Search and Seizure’ Prohibition To Include Your Home
About 50 years ago, someone handed law enforcement a permission slip. It is an exception to the Fourth Amendment called “community caretaking.” It is exercised to justify “seizing” or searching vehicles “in the interest of public safety.”
NH Senators Shaheen and Hassan Vote to Protect “Warrantless” Online Surveillance
Democrats talk a lot about the right to privacy. New Hampshire’s Democrat Senators, Jeanne Shaheen, and Maggie Hassan have, though that is code for “abortions.” When it comes to your actual privacy, they’d rather government can spy on you (and not just the Feds.)
They and They Alone
What is your response when you hear about law enforcement officials breaking the law to get someone they think is bad? The police aren’t the only ones who occasionally lose focus and decide to “get the bad guy” … no matter what it takes.
Carrying a Concealed Firearm is Not Reasonable Suspicion of a Crime
In 2014 a patron at a Gas-Station Convenience store in Pennsylvania was observed on CCTV showing a firearm to another patron before holstering it under his shirt. A phone call from a store employee and a few police officers later, the armed citizen was arrested on a Drug possession and a DUI charge (but no gun charge).
Free State lawyer in NH saves family and enforces U.S. Constitution in New Jersey
Democrats and other regressives (not “progressives”; these people have nothing to do with “progress”) love to call names and tell lies about the Free State Project and its participants. That’s because Freestaters tend to revere the U.S Constitution and the Bill of Rights (which are inconveniences to regressives, who are statists to the core).
A demonstration of why the regressives hate Freestaters so much was just given when Evan Nappen, a lawyer, author, and 2nd Amendment expert—as well as Free State Project participant who moved to New Hampshire with his family several years ago—was called on an emergency basis Saturday night from New Jersey as a family was subjected to a late-night home invasion conducted by…
A NH Boot to Big Brother’s Neck – HB 445-FN
If you watch television you’ve probably seen your share of cop or crime shows. There are two things that always stand out to me. First, almost everyone talks to the cops without a lawyer. (Dumb.) Second, the police are always using a suspect’s cell phone or car GPS to track them down.
The real America is not much different. It is a land where the police can set up a road block just about anywhere, for any reason, (sobriety checkpoints for example) and proceed to justify stopping, questioning, or searching any or every vehicle or its occupants based on their “on the spot judgment.” With most of America embracing–or at least not objecting–to that kind of arbitrary fourth amendment abuse, why not extend it to electronic surveillance as well?
