On the 2nd of Oct, 2021, I attended Health Freedom NH’s March for Medical Freedom.
News coverage of the event
I could find no coverage from New Hampshire’s biggest news outlets: WMUR and The Union Leader.
The March started at the State Library in Concord, NH. The organizers wanted folks to arrive about noon and the march would start at 12:15 PM. The march’s route wound through downtown Concord ending at the State House. At the State House the organizers had arranged for entertainment and speakers, with the speakers wrapping up around 3 PM.
Before the Medical Freedom March, was a pro-abortion march organized by a different group.
On my way over to the State Library, I saw no evidence that the folks from the pro-abortion march were still in Concord.
I arrived a little after noon at the State Library. There was a big crowd. I wandered through the crowd to the Library’s steps. I overheard some people talking about this being their first protest.
The real value in these events is networking. Organizers of events like these need to have people working the crowd and/or running sign-up sheets to get contact information from people interested in helping out.
Rebuild NH (formerly called Reopen NH) has been very good at building a network and in getting their network to do things. For example, during the last legislative session, legislators complained about the flood of e-mails, letters, and phone calls generated by Rebuild NH asking people to contact legislators. In response, Rebuild NH asked people to increase the pressure on the Legislature.
View from the State Library steps.
On the top of the steps of the Library, I could see out over the whole crowd. The crowd was more than twice the size of the crowd at the May 2020 Reopen NH anti-lockdown protest. My estimate of crowd size is roughly a 1,000 people. I have seen other estimates of 1,200-1,500 people.
Someone started a “Fuck Joe Biden” chant. After the chant, it sounded like someone tried addressing the crowd with a bullhorn. The crowd started moving down State Street. I joined the crowd.
The crowd moved down both the right lane of State Street and the sidewalk on the right hand side of State Street. I was surprised to see no Concord police since we were in the road. Health Freedom NH and Reopen NH had put out a call for volunteers to help manage the crowd. I saw their volunteers directing the crowd and directing traffic around the crowd.
Most of the reactions I saw from drivers were positive. For those that weren’t, one negative interaction stood out. I heard one car driver arguing with one of the volunteers about the march blocking the road. I heard the volunteer reply with “We have a permit for this.”
The Patch article I linked above quotes Concord police as saying Health Freedom NH did not have a valid permit.
One shopkeeper came out of his shop to shout, “Fuck Joe Biden! Fuck Bill Gates!”.
The crowd arrived at the State House. Some of the pro-abortion folks had left their signs by a statue on the State House lawn. There was a stage at the base of the steps. The crowd gathered around it. A guy tried to keep the crowd entertained as the singer got set up. The singer was Becca Myari. Eventually she got up and started playing. She started with a rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner”. She moved on from there, breaking out a tin whistle for one song. She played a good set.
Becca Myari playing the tin whistle.
During Becca Myari’s set, I decided to walk around the crowd.
During the march and during my walk around the crowd I saw many people openly carrying handguns. I only saw two people carrying long arms. One was a Revolutionary War re-enactor. I talked with him at a Reopen NH event last year. I don’t remember what unit he told me he used as inspiration for his costume. I remember he carries a reproduction Charleville musket, but I can’t remember the model. The other person carrying a long arm was a morbidly obese man standing a bit apart from the crowd. He was wearing a face diaper of the surgical mask variety. He had an AR type rifle slung over his shoulder. I think, but cannot be certain, this is the guy mentioned in the Patch article I linked above whom the Concord police tracked down in a parking garage later in the day.
Taken during my walk-about during Becca Myari’s set
On the topic of face diapers, I would need two hands to count all the people wearing face diapers; however, I would have some fingers left over. Most face diaper wearers were elderly and wearing surgical masks. Two face diaper wearers wore neck gaiters. I saw one N-95.
I saw only one guy in full tacticool regalia. I saw two or three people in partial tacticool regalia.
I saw no police, though the Patch article I linked above mentions some police showed up.
I did not take notes on the speakers. I only remember details of four of the speakers.
The first speaker is a current or former conservative talk radio host. I remember thinking during his talk that the Feds are probably salivating over what he said. It sounded to me like he was pushing for armed rebellion.
The second speaker was Thomas McLeod. He is involved in Health Freedom NH, the Liberty Defense Fund of NH, and Reopen NH. His talk was about the vaccines and their negative side effects. The crowd started dwindling during his talk.
Thomas McLeod speaking.
Rep. Leah Cushman’s talk was about vaccine mandates affecting nurses and other medical. She is a RN in her day job. During her talk, some folks from Rebuild NH were going around the crowd handing out business cards. The cards had Rebuild NH’s contact information on it. Remember: The value in these events is in building a network.
Rep. Leah Cushman speaking.
There were other folks working the crowd during the series of speakers. One was from the Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.
The other requires his own paragraph. He approached me telling me something along the lines of, “All of these people are trying to fix things, but I have the solution.” He is a representative of the real United States of America. He says the correct name of the United States is “The United States of America”, not “United States of America”. Therefore, the current government is a sham, and he is a member of the only real government of the country. He had a bunch of literature. He also had a passport from “The United States of America” (note the upper case “T”). If you are scratching your head, look at a current US passport. It will refer to the USA as “United States of America” (note the lack of “the” or “The”) or “the United States of America” (note the lower case “t”). He tells me the “The” with a capital “T” is critical. It sounded to me like a variation on the Sovereign Citizen movement. Before he moved on, he told me to take a look at “The American Herald” because it has real news about the real America.
I didn’t stay for all of the speakers. I left as the organizers were trying to patch a lawyer who was on the phone through to the sound system. The lawyer is involved in some lawsuits of interest to the crowd, but I couldn’t hear all of what they were about. I also can’t remember his name. I think he’s in Ohio, but I can’t remember.
At the time I left, I’d say the crowd was about a third of its original size. Some of the crowd had moved over to Main Street to wave flags and signs at people driving past.
I think this was a good event. I suspect the organizations involved got a whole bunch of new people to join their mailing lists and activist groups, which will pay off in the future.

Since submitting this article, I found out his name. He is Thomas Renz. And here is a WaPo piece on him.

Health Freedom NH’s mail on the event.
Liberty Block’s coverage of the event.
“Thanks for your interest, but the story is too local.”
I love it.
Thanks to the folks at Glibs for running this story. It’s good to have a place like this to share this information with.
You are quite welcome. Thanks for contributing.
Not so OT: THAT’S DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!1!: Clown Prince Edition
Late Tuesday night, in comments with citizens concerned about Sununu’s support for corona-fascism, the Dictator repeatedly told the exasperated commenters that he could not help them fight against the discrimination in workplaces because he does not have and should not have the power to do anything that could influence a private business, even if the private business was funded by and controlled by the government. The citizens wanted Sununu to commit to opposing vaccine passports and mask mandates by private businesses.
Sununu told commenters that controlling a business would be ‘communist’, and distanced himself from that type of governance. Sununu claimed that the state has zero regulation on hospitals, although the state website indicates that they have tremendous amounts of them. He claimed that he would never tell a business what they can or cannot do.
“Sununu’s support for corona-fascism”
This is now how domestic terrorists refer to keeping our children safe.
This is why Brandon now has to hire 80 million new IRS agents to monitor domestic terrorist sites like this one.
Domestic terrorists drink Mexican beer? I blame open borders.
“Sununu claimed that the state has zero regulation on hospitals,”
Well, he’s a fucking liar.
That’s like saying the Sun rises in the East.
In the extreme.
So, those of us who want to save our democracy now know this is where we go to find those domestic terrorists. I mean outside of school board meetings.
Cool DEG! glad to see some resistance left in these United States.
It exists.
The real action is going on at the state and local level.
Note Sean’s links about school boards.
Resistance to letting us try to save our democracy.
There is no try. There is do or not do.
I think he’s in Ohio,
THE Ohio?
Thanks for the write up Deg! I saw a small anti authoritarian thingy in a town square near me and I just drove past. I suck.
You’re welcome!
In all seriousness, if you see events like these, take a look. If they’re gathering contact information, consider giving them your information. This is the real value in these events – connecting with like-minded folks. In hindsight, I should have done a better job of that myself at this event. I only talked with people I know instead of trying to get to know folks that I don’t know.
I am almost worked up enough to join one of these protests in NYC. One problem is, I only hear about them the next day.
You haven’t networked with the right Feds.
🙂
I’m not a Fed.
That’s exactly what a Fed would say.
THE Ohio?
THE Ohio State!
I’m in THE Ohio State right now. Holy shit, the masking crap in Franklin County (C’bus) is flat out medieval. Completely different world compared to the surrounding counties, let alone freer states like TN, AR, KY, and TX. Fuck the prog-fascists. The GOP is shit, but the prog-fascists are evil to the lowest.
You should have Sloopy take you to the tOSU game tomorrow! [Disclaimer: I have no idea what the mask rules are (or are not) at The Shoe.]
I thought about it for an instant, but we have plans out in the boonies and I really don’t want to step foot in Franklin County again this trip.
It has been a few years since I saw a game in the Shoe, but maybe next time.
If it makes you feel better, even up here in Cuyahoga county the masking is pretty much over.
Governor Comorbidities has slapped masking commands on us all…and I am surprised at how many people in BLUEILLINOIS are just flat ignoring His Morbidobesity.
Yes, Oregon has a universal mask requirement (unless eating, or drinking, or having either of those in front of you at any time, or are waiting for them to come) and it is pretty well ignored.
Nice writeup, thanks. Events like this give me hope.
WRT news coverage, the media sometimes reveals it’s bias by what it chooses NOT to print. In this case, a protest with1000 – 1500 people. This in New Hampshire, not the most densely populated place in America. While Sharpton and the like get full coverage when they scrounge up 100 slackers to march across the Brooklyn Bridge. TMITE.
Yes.
I think some of the BLM protests in NH last summer were the same size…. and they got lots of news coverage from every news outlet in NH.
Powerful,

Nice write up, DEG.
Thanks for the work you’ve done.
Thanks!
For the work: Well, I’m a bit player compared to the folks doing the real heavy lifting like the founders of Reopen NH and the bigwigs at Health Freedom NH. Thank them.
Not my favorite band by a long shot, but this seems appropriate.

Great write-up! Two things come to mind. First, this is how the left got started, 50 years ago. And I don’t mean shit like the Wobblies, but the once “counter-culture” that currently runs the country. It started with a couple of Yahoo’s meeting up on the capitol steps with signs saying “down with Nixon” or whatever. So seeing this now, people getting out and talking to each other, networking, as you said, is great. Democracy in action. I wouldn’t worry about permits, as you already have the high ground and that will just let some gov’t functionary let his anarchist friends know what is going on.
This leads me to my second point, getting the word out. I would contact someone like Instapundit, as he used to pimp readers’ books he probably would be receptive to posting notices of anti-covid protests. I accidentally stumbled on an anti-mandate rally here in Oregon and would have loved to be there when it was going on and talking to people. Facebook and Twitter won’t be helpful, as they hate this type of protest, and would probably delete the message.
First, this is how the left got started, 50 years ago.
Yep.
I attended an activist class sponsored by Reopen NH run by the Foundation for Applied Conservative Leadership. This is one of the points the instructor brought up. The Proglodytes didn’t get here overnight. It took time. Sometimes they lost. They learned from the losses. They always built their network. Look where they are now.
I was on the bumpiest Uber ride ever into Dallas since 7:00. Read the whole thing, loved it. Just got to a bar where I can say thank you without dropping the phone. Local reporting articles are great!
Thank you!
One of the things that have changed radically is the ease of communication. It might not seem like it with FB and whatnot being part of the fascist collective, but email dumps to phones would be a dead quick way of letting interested people know what is going on. And yes, some feds will be floating around, but don’t do anything illegal, self-police for wacky shit, and take MLK as an inspiration on how to hold the moral high ground.
I mean, if I was planning something, which I am totally not.
I wouldn’t want tp be a part of that….
/slips you my secret email addy,
Peaceful assembly is illegal as far the treasonous feds are concerned.
I praise the determination to peacefully discuss issues and network for freedom.
Unfortunately the die has been cast and democrats declared war on america and freedoms a long time ago.
Same boat. Oregonians for Medical Freedom is one of the ones who has been organizing those rallies. I haven’t delved further into who they are or others.

Things I’ve noticed among the NH Medical Freedom Folks:
Lots of conspiracy theorists
Germ Theory Denialists
Folks that think the Lil Rona vaccines result in spike protein shedding
OK, I guess those are all different flavors of the same thing. I’ve been drinking.
On the other hand… none of this implies the government should be involved in personal medical decisions.
Kinda like how the George Floyd peaceful protests attracted a lot of hard-line commies.
Fringe gonna fringe.
I think the “mostly peaceful folks” were a bigger percentage of the George Floyd protests than the odd-balls are of the Health Freedom folks.
I am willing to be convinced otherwise.
No doubt. The left in general are way more practiced at this stuff. Most of them have probably been at it since college or even high school.
The “right”/conservative aren’t. Therefore you’ll get a larger ratio of hard-core weirdos.
Thinking back 30-35 years ago, and the left was still full of those types of weirdos.
Meant to mention this earlier.
50 years ago today I swore to defend the Constitution and entered my indentured service in the Air Force.
*raises glass*
Sixteen years ago today I entered my indentured servitude fo Frau Zwak.
And here I am, on the internets.
At 16 years I had just hired on to my dream job (with a 50% increase in salary). We had just moved into our dream home (where we are still living today). Our daughters were in the glorious years where they were young and still minded their parents.
Congratulations. Enjoy your years. The best is yet to be.
God Bless you both, it only gets better,
/raises glass
Prost!
16 years ago… I think that’s when I asked out the woman I almost married. I ended the relationship some time after that because I realized we weren’t as compatible as either of us thought we were. That was a hard decision, but the right decision.
Those usually are. Too many memories like that, going both ways. And a first marriage to boot.
I ran into this woman about six months or so after we split. I was still single, and she had a boyfriend.
The boyfriend wasn’t around.
She gave some signals that she was interested in getting back together.
I couldn’t do it.
I thought about it, but couldn’t do it. We were wrong for each other.
50 years ago today I soiled my diapers, probably.
50 years ago I face planted off my Big wheel into a cinderblock wall, lost 2 baby teeth, kids…….
/8 years old
Hawt.
And you’re still doing it today, aren’t you?
Not today.
/raises glass
Prost!
Nearly 65 years (on Oct 13 or so officially) since I raised my hand but it lasted for 20 years of hard time. At the time I thought the Constitution was serious, with all those amendments and everything.
Yeah, I was a bright-eyed kid who seriously thought that my vote for McGovern was going to end the Viet Nam war before I got sent over there.
I, too, (like Madison) thought that the Federal government existed to protect freedom.
My surprised face is now glued-on.
I’m guessing a recruiter’s job must be tougher today, trying to BS the kids raised on cell phones and computers. They (the recruiters) had an easier time when all they had to promise was 3 hots and a flop. That’s what I was going for.
“50 years ago today I swore to defend the Constitution and entered my indentured service in the Air Force.”
I’m sure you did, and thanks for your service, but given the situation today a damn shitload of other people were derelict in their oath.
Im off to work, kids.
Mind the store.
I thought YOU were going to the store.
Since we are doing anniversaries, 25 years ago I moved to TX and started my first job.
Here Y’all go!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf8ZAMRO1DU
Are you still there and doing the same job?
To clarify it was my first job out of college. I had quite a few before that since I was a little Timeloose.
I was good for 4 years at the first job. I learned how to do by being thrown into the deep end.
*pulls out crystal ball*
There will be a covid related workplace shooting by the end of the year.
As a result, unvaxxed will be branded as domestic terrorists and will be given criminal consequences for their lack of vaccination.
It will also be used to shut up any courts that try to pull OSHA’s reins and slow up the mandate.
Sadly I think you’re right.
Sadly, the result will be the same if the covid-19 Karen shoots the anti-vaxxer or the other way round. Either will be used to justify anti-vaxxer terrorist label.
I can’t help but notice OSHA hasn’t promulgated those emergency regulations. I guess it wasn’t such an emergency.
Seen this?
https://brownstone.org/articles/bidens-vaccination-mandate-where-are-the-regulations/
No, I hadn’t. Thanks.
I’m afraid to ask but…. Did Tucker leave AEIR on good terms or was there an acrimonious split?
I dunno.
I’m currently on SNAP, and they give me far more than I need, so i stock up on canned goods and staples, but in the coming Dark times what would be useful? spices!
I’m going to buy a shit load any ideas beyond the usual?
Dark times will long for what was. Spices from a far a way land are a good stock pile. Pepper is cheap as is salt. What doesn’t grow around northern MI? That’s the stuff to stock. Especially when they take up no space.
The spice must flow.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed,
the lips acquire stains.
The stains become a warning.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
+1 Bene Gesserit,

/nerd
Also, not from the books. That’s a Lynch original.
Oooh Cinnamin, Bakers chocolate, Vanilla extract, orange extract, the list goes on,
I should go to TJs in Traverse City….
Vanilla is a good one. Get the real stuff, already expensive.
It’s a thing people don’t consider, so I’m doing it while I can, Salt, pepper,Flour, oregano, paprika, cumin, thyme, basil, garlic salt, minced oinion, and many more.
Those are all stuff that is possible to grow there. Pick weirdo stuff like cumin, tumuric, saffron, etc.
thanks! that’s why I asked.
Spices lose their potency over time. Someone mentioned to replace all of your spices annually.
“Spices” being generic, of course. Some may last longer than others.
I will keep them sealed, dark and as stable as I can, but people will take what’s available in the Dark Times,
Can you buy seeds with SNAP? Better than having spices is the ability to grow more spices.
Boy, was TV different fifty or sixty years ago. I read that Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore had to have separate beds in their comedy show. So did Lucy and Ricky, even though they were actually married in real life. Apparently Ozzie and Harriett did get a single big bed because they were married in real life. So, while all this “can’t show married adults sleeping together” was going on, you also had a curious “Andy Griffith” show. I got home early and caught an old Andy rerun: Opie makes friends with the new kid (dad died, being raised by mom) in town. Brings him home to meet Andy. Gets new kid to stay over night. They rumpus in Opie’s room when they are supposed to be sleeping. Andy comes up, talks to the boys, and tells the new kid that they need to be separated so they can sleep. He tells the new kid to come sleep in his (Andy’s) room with him while Opie sleeps in his own bed! And, as they walk down the hall, Andy says something about “how would you like some ice cream?” Couldn’t be made today and I was shocked they even allowed it to be shown. Of course, a number of those old shows were always threatening corporal punishment for misbehavior too.
Separate beds for married couples isn’t all bad.
+1000 snoring Wife,
I had an ex-girlfriend who snored so loudly that I couldn’t sleep when she and I were in the same bed.
That relationship didn’t last long. Not just because of the snoring. The life-size cardboard cut-out of Barak Obama was another prominent reason.
32 years, one of the few things I don’t miss aboot Wendy,
I’d say that’s a give away.
Which is the giveaway?
Since I’m on that note, this woman is the only woman that I had sex with (not oral, not made out with, actual sex) on the first date.
Ever since then, I’ve considered a woman who is willing to have sex with me on the first date as bad news. Maybe there is a woman out there that could convince me otherwise, but… I’m skeptical.
The life size Obama cut out. Notwithstanding my deep libertarian streak, I can get along with people of most political beliefs. But the life size cut out of a current politician is a big red flag.
See, I always perceived women that didnt succumb to my moves and have sex on the first date trouble.
I prioritize sex high on the list and my marriage is sex sexy sex.
In my experience, women who withold sex early realize it is a weapon and those women are bad news. Ive known too many people who complain they have sexless relationships.
But the life size cut out of a current politician is a big red flag.
Normally I’d agree, except in this case, she invited me in at the end of our first date. So…. I ignored the cut-out.
I’m not judging and I can’t say I wouldn’t have accepted the invitation. After the fact, I think it would be a deal killer.
To be fair, they would have had to put me in a separate bed from Mary Tyler Moore.
lol
I always thought married couples having different beds in TV land was weird.
Even when I was a little kid, I knew my grandparents slept in the same bed.
I always heard it was Mike and Carol Brady who broke that barrier but that could be an urban legend.
Next they’ll tell me Archie Bunker wasn’t the first to flush a toilet on network TV.
Turlet, it’s Turlet rhy,
One pair did, the other had seperate rooms.
/shrug.
The neighbours have closed off the street and are having a party. Everyone is invited – – if you are fully vaxxed.
Yeah, won’t be attending.
Must be a real fun bunch.
That’s a fucking sign if ever there was one, Move Bro!
Or just have more guns than everyone on that street out together.
I was thinking a random M-80 would do the trick..
BOOM goes the dyno-mite!
Sounds like the swing dances in the Boston area. Fuck that.
Buy War Bonds! er, wrong era,
If they are checking. Go gonzo and create a line to do Turing tests.
FFS.
The theater is over, here in immigrant Brooklyn. Even the Korean guy at the liquor store across the street doesn’t give a shit about seeing my face. I was concerned, because all the liquor stores here are mom’n’pops run by Koreans who are scrupulously masked up so until last week I played along because I didn’t want any trouble.
The Arabs who run all the bodegas stopped giving a shit months ago. Even the supermarkets which are run by a mix of Italians and Arabs don’t blink at my face.
I don’t eat out but the restaurants I pass in my daily travels don’t seem to be demanding papers, either.
What do I have to do to get the stink-eye around here?
Glorious Conformity! Ain’t gonna happen, up here it’s a very few older folks and panicky kids, maybe 5% masking, Covid is finished here unless you need to see a doctor,
Publicly announce its good DeBlasio shuttered the gifted and talented programs?
If they aren’t checking papers just go. See how the other half lives.
They’re trying to cancel Jon Gruden because he said a guy has big lips. He’s apparently super racist and the NFL is going to discipline him for it even though he didn’t work for the league when he sent the email. All the way back in 2011.
Wut? You are here and making sense? What’s next? Biden waking up?
Link?
gotchu
Thanks.
Goodell has completely lost it.
Symptom of the times. The elites are still in pants-shitting terror mode. Not sure why exactly. Mass hysteria?
And scary times they are.
The part I don’t’ get…so the NFL is reviewing these emails, but a reporter is the one who first asked Gruden about them? WTF? Goodell doesn’t at least have the good sense to let his people know his PC Goon Squad dug up 10 year old emails before leaking it to the press? What a bunch of fucking assholes.
Here’s a tinfoil hat theory.
The former female CEO of the Raiders Amy Trask made some public #MeToo comments about disciplining / firing Urban Meyer for grabbing a chick’s pussy at his bar. In retaliation, the owner of the Jaguars, Khan the Hedgehog, leaked this email to the press to get back at the Raiders for getting involved in the matter.
Trask broke a cardinal rule of NFL owners: don’t ever take sides against the family.
I read the article. What Gruden said was dumb but not inherently racist.
Goodell may be the only NFL Commissioner in danger of having a stadium full of people chant Fuck Roger Goodell.
Nice write up DEG! Best way to ward off the lefties is to act like the Bill of Rights still applies.
Thanks!
We do what we can.
Here in NH, we had a set-back recently. The governor is pushing to have the state accept a contract with the Feds to propagandize the vaccines. It must be approved by the Executive Council (an elected body which acts as a check on the governor) and a legislative committee.
The head of the legislative committee resigned because he’s been pushing “conspiracies about Covid”. To be fair, some of what he has been pushing has been bullshit. His replacement is sympathetic to the governor.
So, our job is harder. But we will push.
OMG Pluto TV has a “Classic Doctor Who” channel. I’ll be back in a few weeks.
The only problem is they keep showing the same episodes over and over again, and usually not the better ones. Which still suck me in.
“The Five Doctors” is on. Haven’t seen it in ages.
Unfortunately they know where I live because I’m getting the same fucking NYC vid (and now flu) propaganda commercials every ten minutes that I get on regular cable.
Local man dies of repeated orgasms. Film at 11.
This is relevant to my interests.
Handshakes were made, money was exchanged, debts were paid. Finally, after roughly a year, I’m out of the predicament that caused me to spiral into a depression and shamefully beg you all for money last Fall. Of course being the cold, sociopathic, selfish, evil libertarian/NAP cunts that you all are, you left me hanging out to dry and only donated four times the amount of money I asked for…
I didn’t weep with relief and gratitude tinged with embarrassment and guilt…nope.
Tomorrow I move into a new “Safe House/Fuck Paper Trails!” living domicile. I’ll save around $800 a month in expenses and be roughly twenty miles closer to my general work area.
After tomorrow morning, I’ll be scarce for the next few weeks while I sort out my new living situation..which probably means only having internet access via my phone…and my phone is old, cheap hot garbage…much like my last squeeze.
Anyway, I fucking love you people and believe it or not but belonging to this small but fiercely loyal and loving tribe over the last(hell how long has it been since the TOS days? Six, seven years?)X years has kept me from opening my veins or putting a pistol in my mouth once or twice.
Bless you all.
I’m glad you are here TH. Now about that old, cheap, hot garbage… pics?
Google “Winston’s Mom”
Hot!
Huzzah! Very good news to hear and can always use more like it these days. And glad you’re still here.
Thank you, sir.
You’ve always been one of favorite commenters here. I’m very glad I can still say that to you. Now, go kick life’s ass.
Shit, really? Well thanks, man. I appreciate the sentiment. To be honest, I generally place myself in the “Yeah, he’s an uneducated idiot but he argues in good faith and has a natural inclination towards individual liberty so the more Intelligent amongst us give him a pass” category.
Don’t sell yourself short,
JudgeTrigger, you’re a tremendous uneducated idiot. ?I’m in the “chuckle-head who thinks the shit he types is funny” category, so you’re doin’ way better than me!
It sounds to me like things are looking up for you. This makes me happy. Keep continuing on along this path.
Good stuff. ??
Nice write up DEG. I can’t stand Sovereign Citizens. I had to represent a few 20 years ago. They tarnish the reputation of people with legit Constitutional claims.
I had a local judge who had seen a large number of them over time in his courtroom. He was was calm and patient with them. After they told him they didn’t recognize his authority, he told them he understood. Then he told them they should recognize his ability to incarcerate them. That never failed to get a wide eyed look.
To be fair, lawyers have overly complicated US and state “laws” so average americans and even attorneys cannot be sure what all the laws are without looking them up. That judge is likely “patient” with those standing before him because govt officials need Americans to submit to their power. If americans dont submit to their judiciary power, judges have zero power.
Judges, nearly without exception, violate their oaths every day and dont follow the constitution. Constitution 101: is that state and federal governments are required to have enumerated powers to do something. Constitution 102: states dont have plenary powers, which is why states have constitutions.
True. Just focusing on judges for this discussion.
Judges should know better too. Their job literally involves the constitution as supreme law and whether subsequent laws are void or not because they dont follow constitutional fundamentals.
Judges should be required to answer a question about the 2nd amendment and if any gun control laws are constitutional. If they dont say the peoples right to keep and bear Arms is absolute, they cant be a judge. They dont know how constitutional principles work.
The 2A is easy to defend as an absolute protected right because you keeping and bearing any Arms can never harm anyone else’s rights. Me owning an F-15 doesnt hurt anyone.
Well, it would scare the tyrannical democrats.
The Founders never wanted America to force people to be subject to its constitution or laws (slaves being the exception that was hopefully resolved before/after 1808). The british crown operated under that forced subject principle.
With that being said, you cant expect all the protections of constitution without being subject to laws constitutionally created. I think the sovereign citizens want the protections of the constitution without being subject to its constitutional laws. Taxation being an example. The 16th amendment was a legal change to add income tax.
My experience says otherwise. On occasion, I had to defend them. Most were tax evaders and didn’t want to pay to register their car. I never had a case involving a firearm. They just don’t want to pay for anything.
They obviously dont know about forming an LLC (or some other form of company) and having the company be the name on all vehicle registration and take all the tax heat.
You put the cart before the horse. Legislatures write those complicated laws. Lawyers and judges have to wrestle with them.
Which is why for years I’ve said (tongue barely in cheek) that lawyers should be barred from serving in legislatures due to conflict of interest. They write the shit so complicated that the average person needs a lawyer to explain it to them.
That I can get behind. I really would like to see people of varied backgrounds serve in legislatures. We might get fewer laws. We certainly would get more straightforward laws.
Ding Ding Ding
More than a few time, when I dig into the Lil Rona Panic orders, I find law citations. I look up the law, and see a bureaucrat’s favorite words “make any other rule that (whatever the fuck the executive authority is) feels is necessary”. In other words, a blank slate to do whatever the executive wants.
That drives me nuts. Here’s hoping the SC cuts that shit back. There have been rumblings about how much authority Congress can delegate. It’s not impossible we may see some of this go away.
New amendments need to include sunset requirements for laws and clearly specified delegation standards and time duration not to exceed one Congressional term.
Therein lies the largest problem with these unconstitutional ‘rona dictates. There is no constitutional power to force vaccines, force lockdowns, or impede interstate travel under non-war circumstances.
States dont have plenary powers. States have police powers but are still subject to their state constitutions and the US constitution. Every state resident also has federal constitutional protections.
The other major unconstitutional act by some states and the federal government is with actions against businesses that cross the line from regulation of business to unconstitutional control of business and property. Even the Prohibitionists knew that they needed a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol. You cant ban a product or service because of ‘rona hysteria or because you dont want people using drugs. There is no government power for that. Only regulating business. You dont have a business to regulate if govt bans you or your product or service.
Most legislators are lawyers.
The horse is riding in the cart.
Heh. I went to high school with the kids of a fed judge. The dude did not have a sense of humor. Probably why his name was Judge Reem.
Yikes
Thanks Chafed.
For a little while, when I was an undergrad, I went down some of these paths.
I don’t remember what it was that set me straight. I think it might have been a thought along the lines of, “Why hasn’t anyone else figured this out?”
But now, I don’t have anything to do with these folks.
I think you got it right. There isn’t some secret set of laws.
Nice write-up, DEG. Thanks for doing it.
Also; Becca Myari = would
Thanks!
Fight the power, Deg!
Free yourself.

Never gonna let you go.
Straf has a fetish for forcing other people to look at his masturbatory material.
I wonder if he’d draw you like he draws his BBCs?
I’ve been away for couple days…I didn’t miss this super-cool fisting you’ve promised everyone, did I?
When The First That Will Change Everything happens, everyone will know all at once. It will be a great awakening and happening all at once.
That reminds me of something I did this morning.
Ah shit….
Photoshop.
I just got up to get a beer and my leg collapsed, now I’m on the ground and can’t get up, this sucks!
OK back in my chair, I get why people do Fentynal, fuck!

Criminal activity in full view….
FBI: “It’s not crime if it’s sanctioned. Nothing to see here, subject. Move along.”
I wonder what it’s like to believe there is absolutely, positively, no judgement in the hereafter.
Judi went to a Naturopath and a Doctor today trying for an exemption. No dice. Now fear has turned to rage. Pray for Festus.
Oddly enough, where I work has been strangely silent about mandates.
Five beered rage, the worst rage.
What about a five beard rage?
Amish riot?
Im glad Grandpa Tres left the Mennonite church (read: kicked out). I cant grow a beard worth a damn.
Each time Ive tried, people would ask “is this your 1st round of chemo/radiation?”.

whats goody
There’s hope, at least in NH apparently.

This administration reeks of weakness. They’re more concerned on arresting soccer mom’s than real fucking bad people.
It’s not an administration, it just the Western Swamp division of the of the Global Cabal. America must be destroyed for the plan to “progress”.
I kind of regret bringing
children,serfs, slaves into this world.Oh well, maybe the last shall indeed be the first.
Because they want control over middle-america. Specially the ones think think and vote “wrong”.
This administration reeks of weakness. They’re more concerned on arresting soccer mom’s than real fucking bad people.
No kidding.

Assholes. *clicks hate it button*
the bill is unworkable because it can require prosecutors to first prove the underlying crime without telling jurors that it was gang-motivated.
I don’t get it.
