Whether you want to call it “The Patriarchy” or the “Old Boys Club,” historically, incompetent men have been protected by The System at the expense of better alternatives. Instead of feeding the false narrative of DEI propagated by both sides–white men will never work again! airplanes will fall from the skies!–how about you start to believe your own eyes and make up your own mind about the world? Stop yelling nonsense about whatever manufactured hysteria is du jour. Know thyself: This is where true freedom lies.

Criticize Kamala Harris as though you were a judge building a case against her as president of USChatGPT
Criticizing Kamala Harris as if building a case against her presidency involves examining her record, policy positions, and public perception. Here’s a structured argument:
1. Track Record as a Prosecutor
a. Inconsistent Stance on Criminal Justice Reform:
- Overly Punitive Policies: As District Attorney of San Francisco and later as California’s Attorney General, Harris took positions that some argue were overly punitive, including defending convictions obtained through prosecutorial misconduct.
- Truancy Laws: Harris supported and enforced strict truancy laws that some critics argue disproportionately affected low-income and minority families.
b. Resistance to Reform:
- Failure to Support Independent Investigations: Harris was criticized for not supporting independent investigations of police shootings while serving as California’s Attorney General.
- Reluctance to Embrace Progressive Policies: Critics claim that Harris was slow to adopt more progressive criminal justice reforms that gained traction nationally during her tenure.
2. Policy Positions and Legislative Record
a. Healthcare:
- Medicare for All Flip-Flop: Harris initially supported Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All plan but later backtracked, causing confusion and skepticism about her commitment to healthcare reform.
b. Immigration:
- Mixed Messages: Harris has faced criticism for inconsistent messaging on immigration policies, including her stance on decriminalizing border crossings.
c. Economic Policies:
- Lack of Clear Economic Vision: Critics argue that Harris has not articulated a clear, coherent economic policy that addresses the structural issues within the U.S. economy.
3. Leadership and Public Perception
a. Questions of Authenticity and Consistency:
- Frequent Changes in Position: Harris has been criticized for frequently changing her policy positions, leading to questions about her authenticity and reliability.
- Perception of Opportunism: Some view Harris as an opportunist who aligns with popular positions for political gain rather than out of genuine conviction.
b. Handling of Vice Presidential Duties:
- Border Crisis: Harris has been tasked with addressing the root causes of migration but has faced criticism for not making significant progress and for her handling of the border crisis.
- Public Engagement: There have been concerns about her visibility and effectiveness in her role as Vice President, with critics arguing she has not taken a strong enough leadership role on key issues.
4. Electability and Political Strategy
a. Polarizing Figure:
- Low Favorability Ratings: Polls have often shown Harris with lower favorability ratings compared to other national political figures, raising concerns about her electability in a general election.
- Difficulty in Uniting Factions: Harris has struggled to unite various factions within the Democratic Party, from progressives to moderates.
b. Campaign Strategy:
- Ineffective Messaging: During her 2020 presidential campaign, Harris’s messaging was often seen as inconsistent, contributing to her early exit from the race.
- Staff Turnover and Management: Reports of high staff turnover and internal conflicts within her team have raised questions about her management style and ability to run a cohesive campaign or administration.
Conclusion
While Kamala Harris has a commendable career with significant achievements, these points highlight areas of concern that critics might use to argue against her potential presidency. The case against her is built on perceived inconsistencies, policy shifts, leadership challenges, and questions about her ability to effectively unite and lead the country.

make the case, based on publicly available information, that Hillary Clinton is a Russian asset
ChatGPT
The claim that Hillary Clinton is a Russian asset is widely regarded as a baseless conspiracy theory. However, if one were to attempt to make such a case based on publicly available information, it would likely involve a misinterpretation or selective use of certain events and statements. Here is how such an argument might be constructed:
- Uranium One Deal:
- In 2010, a Russian company, Rosatom, purchased a Canadian company, Uranium One, which had significant uranium mining stakes in the U.S.
- At the time, Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, and the State Department was one of nine agencies that signed off on the deal.
- Critics argue that this deal gave Russia control over a substantial portion of U.S. uranium production capacity.
- Some claim that donations to the Clinton Foundation from parties involved in the deal influenced the approval, despite no evidence supporting this.
- Clinton Foundation Donations:
- The Clinton Foundation received millions of dollars in donations from foreign governments and individuals, including those with ties to Russia.
- Critics argue that these donations created potential conflicts of interest and could have influenced Clinton’s decisions.
- Podesta Group and Russian Clients:
- John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, co-founded a lobbying firm, the Podesta Group, which had Russian clients.
- Critics argue that these connections indicate potential undue influence from Russia.
- Perceived Double Standards:
- Critics argue that Clinton and her allies have accused others of being influenced by Russia while ignoring or downplaying their own connections to Russian interests.
- Statements from Political Opponents:
- During her presidential campaign, political opponents, including then-candidate Donald Trump, frequently suggested without evidence that Clinton had improper ties to Russia.
- These claims have been amplified by various media outlets and commentators who are critical of Clinton.
It is crucial to note that these points have been widely debunked and lack substantive evidence. Multiple investigations, including by the U.S. intelligence community and bipartisan congressional committees, have found no credible evidence to support the notion that Hillary Clinton is a Russian asset. This argument is typically used in partisan political rhetoric rather than based on factual analysis.

You state ” frequently suggested without evidence that Clinton had improper ties to Russia” while also admitting the Uranium One deal occurred. Why is that?
ChatGPT
The Uranium One deal is often cited in discussions about Hillary Clinton and alleged ties to Russia, but the context and evidence surrounding the deal do not support the claim that Clinton had improper ties to Russia. Here’s a detailed explanation:
- Role of the State Department:
- The State Department, led by Hillary Clinton at the time, was one of nine agencies that had to approve the Uranium One deal. Clinton herself did not make the decision; it was made by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which is composed of representatives from various U.S. government departments and agencies.
- There is no evidence that Clinton personally intervened in the decision or that she had the power to single-handedly approve or reject the deal.
- Donations to the Clinton Foundation:
- Some individuals associated with Uranium One donated to the Clinton Foundation, but these donations occurred before and during Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State.
- The timing and the nature of the donations have led to speculation, but investigations have not found direct evidence linking the donations to the approval of the deal.
- The donations were part of a larger pattern of charitable giving to the foundation, which had a broad donor base and engaged in numerous global initiatives.
- Investigations and Findings:
- Multiple investigations, including by fact-checking organizations, the U.S. intelligence community, and bipartisan congressional committees, have examined the Uranium One deal.
- These investigations have found no evidence of wrongdoing by Clinton or any quid pro quo arrangement.
- Misrepresentation and Selective Use of Information:
- The claims about the Uranium One deal and Clinton’s alleged ties to Russia often rely on selective use of information and misrepresentation of the facts.
- Critics may highlight certain aspects of the deal while ignoring the broader context and the findings of investigations.
- Lack of Evidence:
- Despite numerous allegations and media coverage, there is no substantive evidence that Clinton had improper ties to Russia or that she acted improperly in relation to the Uranium One deal.
- The narrative of Clinton as a Russian asset is largely based on speculation and conspiracy theories rather than factual evidence.
In summary, while the Uranium One deal did occur and has been used to suggest improper ties, the available evidence and investigations do not support the claim that Hillary Clinton is a Russian asset. The deal and the related donations to the Clinton Foundation have been scrutinized extensively, and no wrongdoing has been found.

What about Hillary Clinton’s servers?
ChatGPT
The controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State has been a significant issue, but it is not directly related to allegations of being a Russian asset. Here’s a detailed explanation of the email server issue:
- Use of Private Email Server:
- Hillary Clinton used a private email server for her official communications during her tenure as Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013.
- The State Department’s Office of the Inspector General later found that this practice did not comply with department policies.
- Investigation and Findings:
- The FBI conducted a thorough investigation into Clinton’s use of the private email server.
- In July 2016, then-FBI Director James Comey announced that while Clinton and her staff were “extremely careless” in handling classified information, the FBI did not find evidence of intentional misconduct and recommended no charges.
- Comey reiterated in his testimony before Congress that there was no evidence to suggest that Clinton’s server had been hacked by hostile actors, although it was theoretically possible.
- Impact on National Security:
- Critics argue that using a private server could have exposed sensitive information to foreign adversaries, including Russia.
- However, the FBI found no direct evidence that the server was successfully hacked or that any classified information was accessed by unauthorized individuals.
- Political Ramifications:
- The email server controversy was a major issue during the 2016 presidential campaign, with political opponents arguing that it showed Clinton’s disregard for national security protocols.
- The controversy was used to question Clinton’s judgment and trustworthiness, but it did not provide concrete evidence of ties to Russia.
- Context of Russian Allegations:
- The issue of the private email server is separate from the allegations that Clinton is a Russian asset. The server controversy pertains to questions about cybersecurity and compliance with federal records laws.
- Allegations of Clinton being a Russian asset primarily revolve around the Uranium One deal and donations to the Clinton Foundation, which, as previously discussed, lack substantive evidence.
In summary, the controversy over Hillary Clinton’s private email server involved questions about compliance with State Department policies and potential security risks, but it did not provide evidence of her being a Russian asset. The investigations into her email practices concluded that there was no intentional misconduct or evidence of classified information being compromised by foreign adversaries.

Back after a short break, this week we cover a lot of philosophical ground. What does the Golden Rule mean to you? Treat others as you want to be treated or… treat people the way they treat you? Also, Trump’s assassination attempt, weight loss medicines, and more!
Last night, a bunch of Free Staters who are in Vegas for Freedom Fest decided to go on a side quest to Area 15, where the amazing Omega Mart interactive art installation is. While you don’t have to be on ‘schrooms to appreciate this awe inspiring experience, it doesn’t hurt! (It doesn’t, according to the two young gentlemen I encountered who claimed they’d been there for 4 hours. I did eventually see them leave right after me.)

From there, I knew I was in for a fun, mind-bending, delightful and surprising adventure!

Health, ultimately, is a feeling inside. Perhaps the humming of your mitochondria?
It occurred to me recently that today’s chronically ill children will never have a feeling of health to return to. Think about that: they don’t even know how being healthy feels. They have no sense of wellness to seek, as I did, only the knowledge of discomfort and pain from near birth.
Why?
Obese, sugar-addicted children will never know how it feels to be well.
Inflammation is hell on a cellular level.
This is what cronyism, Big Gov, Big Ag, Big Harma, and bad science accepted as gospel, has wrought on an entire generation: hell on a cellular level, a generation that now has a shorter lifespan than their parents.
During this time of abundance, we have created Generation Rx. Sick, sad children.
Why?
No one seems sure what is making children sick. That, frankly, seems sus.
Only RFK has a track record of asking the right questions. If you want to get to the bottom of the biggest crime in the history of mankind, then he’s your man.

Today's chronically ill children will never have a feeling of… https://t.co/HhmQXtM4M8
For me, the following was the most astounding and troubling part of the early days: Your government immediately divided Americans into “essential” and “non-essential” categories.
Before we proceed, please stop and consider this with the proper gravitas it deserves: Your government called you “non-essential” to your face, and you took it on the chin like a champ, Kiddo. Did you, until that moment, understand your government considers YOU “less-than” or “not as important as them” or… “dispensable”?
That bureaucrats sat in a room somewhere and came up with a policy that called YOU, the literal person paying their salary, “non-essential”?
And that they thought this was… okay? That no one said, “Erhem, maybe we shouldn’t call our own citizens ‘unnecessary,’ ‘redundant,’ or ‘superfluous,’ especially during a global “pandemic”?
Now, add the following wrinkle… These folks, the ones who feel comfortable espousing publicly over and over that they are “more essential” than YOU (repetition is key to successful propaganda), also believed there was a new, surging, deadly virus on the loose (which, turns out, they made, “oops”)…
And these bureaucrats then, as a next step, TOOK ALL THE PROTECTIVE GEAR IN THE WORLD for themselves.
Yes, Kiddo, your Big Bro looked at you, the person who pays them “protective money” (taxes), and told you in no uncertain terms YOU DON’T MATTER AS MUCH AS *I* DO (you’re “non-essential”) and to prove it, WE are taking all the masks, medicines, and mitigating equipment to PROTECT OURSELVES because WE ARE ESSENTIAL and YOU are not!
Sorry to have to break it to you, but your government doesn’t ACTUALLY care about YOU.
Sure, there’s a lot of fluff trying to convince you otherwise, but Covid exposed the sham for what it is.
I know this is a hard truth for folks to swallow, but until you understand and internalize that your government doesn’t care about YOU AT ALL based directly on their own words and actions (when someone tells you who they are, believe them, eh?)–YOU!!!! AN INDIVIDUAL–but rather, the “Public Health System” runs itself and thinks of you only as a nonessential, modeled widget, you will not protect yourself properly. In order to fix a problem, you must understand the root cause.
The root cause of Covidmania was NOT ENOUGH INDIVIDUALS KNOW THEY ARE ESSENTIAL BY VIRTUE OF BEING, AND OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IS NOT.
Some of us were brave.
I was.
I’d learned my lessons with the government years ago, the hard way, and I KNEW protecting myself was up to me, just as many other Free Staters knew it was up to them!
If you stood strong against the onslaught, please consider the Free State Project and moving to New Hampshire, where, for the past 20 years we have been building a free society, based on consent, one individual at a time! Join us!
Guess this is as good a way as any to announce I am running for office again!
Per the Manchester Republican Committee’s direct orders from Brian Cole, working in cahoots with the NHGOP and Chris Ager, instead of running for Senate in District 20, where Lou d’Allensandro has finally retired after more than 50 years in office, and where I have spent countless hours of time and treasure since 2016 building my name recognition and vote tally, reaching within 5 points in 2020, I am running in District 40 (Manchester Wards 1, 3, 10, 11, 12).
Yeah, I know. You tell me.
You tell me why the Establishment would be so threatened by an independent-minded candidate who promises this one thing: To always put New Hampshire first.
I am excited about this race. I will talk about the issues you most care about: crime, the economy, education, inflation, endless wars, and chronic disease. Most of these issues are exacerbated by the federal government, and I believe the solutions for Granite Staters lie in more localism, more helping our own neighbors–not people in foreign countries before our own veterans, say–more independence from the corrupt and bankrupt federal government.
But, to be candid, I’m not interested in running a typical political campaign. I want to have fun, and life is short, so I am going to approach this race more as an art project, or I suppose, I am simply going to reflect my life, and leave it up to you to decide whether I am a decent human being who should have a shot at writing laws to govern over you.
Lemme be clear: I don’t really want that responsibility. I believe we are writing way too many laws, and by doing so, we are making the world worse, not better. Why? Because every time you codify something, you are encouraging loopholes. Meaning every time you try to plug a hole, you create a whole new host of problems. I believe whatever government comes up with as a solution is usually worse than what we would get it we allowed a true free market to flourish.
I lead a high-energy, holistic life, so at all times, I am trying to put my best foot forward. Politics is pretty much the opposite of that. So, in order for me to participate in a System I so fundamentally disapprove of (and really want no part of, but I acknowledge it is one helluva cudgel in the fight for liberty), I need to do it on my own terms.
So… politics as an art project is where I have landed.
Hence, the launching of the “I LOVE NH” series, which I’ll be sharing frequently on my social media platforms (see my Insta scroll at the bottom of this site). I am using photos I have taken across the great Granite State over the 16+ years I have lived here (plus a few taken of me doing Important Stuff as An Important Person). Here are a few examples:
