GOV TIM WALZ, FORMER GEOGRAPHY TEACHER, keynoting an ESRI conference on the importance of geography. "Where you are, determines who you are." He grew up working on a cattle ranch! (My dad ran a stockyards.) Very interesting. This is days before Biden dropped out and weeks before being chosen as VP candidate by Kamala Harris.

Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota and self-proclaimed GIS nerd, was a keynote speaker at the Esri UC Plenary Session. Learn more about Governor Walz and watch his presentation.

BILLIONAIRES BUYING TYRANNY WITH BITCOIN: Elon needs this to happen to staunch the bleeding from Tesla and Twitter. Senator Lumis claims that having the US buy 5% of bitcoin for a national reserve, as if it were gold, would Bitcoin would "'cut our debt in half by 2045.' But even if the federal debt did not grow at all in the next 20 years, the price of Bitcoin would need to increase by 250 times to halve the current debt of $34 trillion. In other words, the price of one Bitcoin would have to increase from $68,000 to $17,000,000."

Will the Senate allow Senator Lumis to promote a bill to increase the value of bitcoin when she explicitly stated that she owned over $100,000 worth? (Trump promised conference attendees he would create a bitcoin reserve.) hashtag , hashtag , hashtag , hashtag

15 years after Bitcoin was created, there are still few legitimate use cases.

GAVIN NEWSOM & STACY ABRAMS. Let's give people a positive choice, not just a block-Trump vote. Biden is a pillar of the nation whose team has revived our country, supported minorities, tamped down inflation despite corporate profiteering, and kept our economy strong. But he'll become ever more embarrassingly decrepit if he doesn't retire. , , ,

ABC's "The View" talker Joy Behar floated a fantasy of a Gavin Newsom-Stacy Abrams 2024 presidential ticket on Tuesday, predicting that it would be a good ticket as long as the former president is not in prison.

Promo for the Libertarian National Convention, starting May 23rd.

94 NEW HAMPSHIRE POLITICIANS joined the Hazlitt Coalition, hoping to receive funding from its libertarian "Young Americans for Liberty" PAC. This is the promotion for the national Libertarian Party convention, starting next Thursday. The Young Americans PAC is an offshoot of Libertarian Ron Paul's campaign for President back in 2012. His son Rand is a strong supporter of Donald Trump.

In our state the divisive dark money is being funneled through Texas-based Young Americans for Liberty (YAL). Last cycle they invested tens of thousand dollars to unseat moderate Republicans like Brodie Deshaies from Wolfeboro.

What can you do about the millions to NH coming from Texas Young Americans for Liberty and other groups to buy the legislature and turn NH into a Free Stater Libertarian Homeland? Read this month's newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/granitestatematters/april2024

LAST SATURDAY AT THE NH LIBERTY FORUM they handed out this book to every attendee. On page 127 it explains that unfettered libertarian capitalism collapses into totalitarianism. Thank you so much! It's so helpful to have you explaining that to your members. I hope now that they will stop trying to dismantle democracy to turn NH into their Libertarian Homeland.😊

Thanks so much for your help in accurately reporting on anti-democracy extremists running for office in our towns and state. These include members of groups trying to: limit election participation, thwart rule-of-law, encourage rule by dictatorship or theocracy, or dismantle the institutions of demo...

MURDER IS JUST A SIDESHOW in the Free Staters attempted takeover of New Hampshire. (They helped a family move in to Berlin. The man murdered his wife days later.) What they want to do to the rest of us is privatize our parks, schools, ski hills, town services and anything else a commercial company doesn't profit from. Also, remove clean and water regs. And more. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPivJ9f-Fz4

SAT FEB 24, KEENE TOADSTOOL BOOKSHOP - Former NH Senator Jeanne Dietsch will read from "NH: Battleground in the Fight to Dismantle Democracy." Join her at 11 AM, 12 Emerald St. https://www.toadbooks.com/event/peterborough-former-state-senator-dietsch-read

KEENE, NEXT SAT FEB 24 11AM: We had a great conversation today at the Peterborough Toadstool. If you didn't make it, I hope you'll join me at the Keene Toadstool Bookshop, 12 Emerald St. Meanwhile, you might also want to sign up for a free online course called Money, Markets and Morals at EdX. It will guide you in choosing the kind of economy that would create the society you want. The one I talk about is the one in which Money is ruling... and making the public think that they are putting Markets in control.

WHY I'M AMBIVALENT ABOUT THE TRANS MOVEMENT. When I was little, I wanted to be a boy. I had 3 brothers. The only TV show starring a woman was ditzy 'I Love Lucy." When I told my mother I wanted to be an astronaut, she replied I couldn't because I was a girl. She said my only choices were to be a secretary, a nurse, or a teacher. Why would I want to be a girl whose only purpose was to wear white gloves and scratchy petticoats and cheerlead my brothers? When they played army, I pretended to be a dog like RinTinTin since there were no roles for girls.

If I had grown up with people telling me that I should go ahead and become a boy, I might well have chosen to. Yet my desire had nothing to do with not being attracted to men or not wanting to have children. I would have lost the opportunity to have the family that is my greatest joy. That is why I am very ambivalent about the message being sent to our children. This article describes people who've made that decision and regret it:

Trans activists have pushed an ideological extremism by pressing for an unproven treatment orthodoxy.

IS AI A TOOL, A COLLABORATOR, A COMPETITOR OR THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE OF HUMANITY? I join the panel discussing how can individuals, professionals, relate to systems so powerful and expansive? Can those outside Big Tech have any control over their direction and use? We'll be talking about this and more.

FINALLY, A MAJOR NEWSPAPER STATES THE OBVIOUS. If you want to read about what your state can do to protect against a DC dictatorship, look at last month's newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/granitestatematters/november-2023 after you read this in the Washington Post:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/30/trump-dictator-2024-election-robert-kagan/

There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. So why is everyone behaving like normal?

NH COURT DECISION WINNERS & LOSERS. Taxpayers, renters, parents and students will be affected in different ways by recent court decisions on education $ and fairness. Meanwhile, libertarians are still attacking the basic concept that communities have a say in what children learn and that everyone should contribute to the costs of a democratic republic.

"This is excellent - but terrifying." Trump's team is writing the Heritage Foundation's plan for the next admin: use the military inside the US and usurp fiscal control from Congress. All while replacing civil servants with 10's of thousands of loyalists brought to DC to "drain the swamp." Imagine what will happen to files, offices, and equipment.

INFLATION DRIVEN BY EXCESSIVE PROFITS? from the Wall St. Journal, folks.

Economists think some companies may have been raising prices faster than their costs have increased, making it harder for inflation to fall.
