Remember when Facebook was fun? All those little gimmicks to make us network and play together? When it felt like the liberty community was growing (because it was and that scared the living bejesus out of your Overlords)?
Remember “25 Things You Didn’t Know About Me”? Probably the most effective voluntary “Maybe We’ll Blackmail You One Day” operation on the internet? Remember “7 Ways to be Insufferable on Facebook”? Well, I do… See above.
Facebook Memories sometimes blow my mind, reminding me of all the decentralized efforts Free Staters have made to improve and expand freedom in New Hampshire. Here is a summary of a few things I have been involved with On This Day in the past, from a Zombie Apocalypse in 2011 to flying to Tom Woods’ 2000th Episode in Florida in 2021 and meeting a governor in-between.
In these photos: In front of the NH Supreme Court for City of Keene vs. Robin Hooders, being interviewed by Victimless Crime Spree star Derrick J; at Area 23 in Concord after a hearing for the Church of the Sword where the NH Supreme Court in all its hubristic glory decided this church was not a religion… what amazing God-like powers exercised by a robed government man (read REASON’s take); supporters in 2016 when I first ran for NH Senate garnering 35% of the vote and increasing steadily every election to 45% in 2020, when the Establishment gerrymandered my district… to stop me?; and in 2018 when the enemies of liberty started defacing my signs (this one said BITCH) but before they started stabbing my car tires, leaving dead animals, sending threatening letters, and making disgusting phone calls, suggesting, amongst other things, that my mother should have aborted me.
I will say this, the enemies of liberty are a rude and disturbed bunch.
I will also say this: I don’t have a middle name, but if I did, it would be “Perseverance,” and my life mission is to make sure New Hampshire remains the LIVE FREE OR DIE state.
The final pic above–pict??? lol–is from the Bardo Zombie Apocalypse in 2011. Guts and grit, baby!
PS: I also met Kristi Noem On This Day in 2020.
I NH! I’ve been battling cooties this week, but made myself get some fresh air earlier. Glad I got to experience the splendor of my own amazing backyard. Even more grateful for Louis Calitz who is off to pick up Indian takeout. I’m spending the rest of the day watching movies like Practical Magic and practicing self-care. Live free and thrive… sometimes under the blankies!
Dude!
Last year, before I was banned from X, I got into a spat–shall we call it a “Bitch Fight”?–with Dilbert creator Scott Adams.
My original post that set off The Crazy was: “Dude. If you were independently following the data, this was 100% clear. But I am really glad you are coming around. Now help us get ‘Nuremberg2’ going. Heads must roll. (I am speaking metaphorically. Mostly.)”
Scott Adams blocked me, but sources tell me he did a whole show on whether the word “Dude” is sexist and, presumably, whether his counter “insults” were therefore “justified.”
The consensus appears to be that “Dude” is not sexist. I certainly use it interchangeably with all people and consider it a neutral term that I actually fell in love with for that reason when I immigrated to California.
Dude! A cool little neutral catch-all phrase which can be used to draw attention.
I’m also not sure in what world beyond Twitter anyone with any manners thinks that “dude” justifies “c*nt,” and, in fact, it is this kind of pathetic ratcheting of meaningless word feuds that is sucking the very meaning of communication and community from the Internet.
Imagine, if you will, that instead of acting like a berserk 5 year old, Scott Adams had taken up my cry, and worked with health freedom activists to make sense and find accountability for the crimes against humanity committed under Covidmania. He himself was vaccine-harmed and could have made a massive impact.
Instead, Scott Adams got cancelled. I got kicked off X later. And the Bad Guys continue to win while reactionaries play for likes while feeding the enemies of liberty’s “divide and conquer” strategy.
Be mindful of how you present and play online. Remember: Everyone can see you.
Exciting development! The DEFEND THE GUARD legislation made it out of committee with a tie (10:10) which means it goes to the floor with an OTP (OUGHT TO PASS) recommendation.
Huge KUDOS to all the people shepherding this IMPORTANT PEACE INITIATIVE through.
No more deployment of our friends and neighbors without a Congressional declaration of war. It’s the least they can do before sending you to die.

Supporters on the steps at the federal court house in Concord, NH.
Ian Freeman was just sentenced to 96 months–EIGHT YEARS–in federal prison for the crime of not getting the right paperwork and for being too good at advocating for the adoption of bitcoin and crypto, the Regime’s Achilles heel.
So they’ve made a lesson out of him in the hopes of creating a chilling effect.
Ian was taken into custody, and was ordered to pay a $40K fine, restitution and asset forfeiture TBD. He is filing an appeal.

Sad day in the Free State.
I bet y’all didn’t know I was once a red-headed “supermodel” for a day in Brazil, huh? Lol (This came up in my TBT memories from years ago.)
I’m sharing it because… why the hell not? I look hot and I’ll never be that young or that fit or have a red perm ever again.
I love that Carla, who was 21 or 22, just graduated from law school & I *think* this was the trip when Louis came with to visit my parents when Dad was Consul in Rio/Brazilia.
That Carla was brazen, excited, with her whole life ahead of her. Now, almost 30 years later, life hasn’t disappointed.
Yes, there have been challenges and dreams that haven’t come to fruition, most notably a devastating miscarriage in my second trimester a few months before we moved to NH in 2008.
Life ends up being highs and lows, some through the choices we make, and sometimes, through just plain, uncontrollable bad luck.
While you cannot control the shitty curveballs, you CAN control how you respond.
You can let crap knock you down and keep you there in a world of hurt and excuses and sadness, or you can pick yourself up, and plant your feet firmly back on your proverbial river rock.
I was taught to stand up every time, no matter what, and to accept the things I cannot change and focus on where *I CAN* make a difference.
Just as I stood on that rock all those years ago, bold and beautiful, I stand for liberty and freedom in the Free State of New Hampshire, the place I chose as my forever home.
Here I stand now, wider, greyer, wiser, but still bold and brazen and brave, because fighting for freedom these days takes balls.
Here I stand, ready for whatever life throws my way next! (I hope it’s a House seat! Lol)
