<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-hampshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Hampshire</a> is sending two National Guard units to assist the worsening <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border crisis</a>.
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said in a press release Monday that the two units would be dispatched to the border in response to a federal mobilization order from the Department of Defense. This is the second time in two years that the Granite State has sent National Guardsmen to assist U.S. Customs and Border Patrol at the border, as the crisis continues under the Biden administration.
“New Hampshire is grateful for the heroic men and women of our National Guard,” Sununu said in the <a href="https://www.governor.nh.gov/news-and-media/two-nh-national-guard-units-deploy-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a>. “They answered the call to serve during the COVID pandemic, and are now answering our nation’s call — deploying to the ongoing humanitarian crisis along our southern border. As these brave men and women deploy, New Hampshire stands by our National Guard and we wish everyone a safe and speedy return home.”
According to the release, approximately 44 soldiers from the 941st Military Police Battalion headquarters will be deployed to a sector of the border approximately 250 miles long that extends to the Gulf of Mexico. From there, those soldiers will be deployed to provide command and control over four other subordinate companies from New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Kentucky, approximately 500 soldiers in total. The border deployment is the unit&#8217;s first.
In addition to the 941st Battalion, another group of soldiers, approximately 120, from the 237th Military Police Company, will also be deployed, primarily to surveillance sites along the same sector. The guardsmen will communicate with Border Patrol agents, identifying and notifying agents of any illegal border crossings, to assist their efforts to stem the flow of migrants, illegal drugs, weapons, and money. However, the soldiers are prohibited from actually interacting with border crossers.
Both units will be deployed for a year.
Both units supported New Hampshire&#8217;s response efforts during the height of the COVID pandemic, assisted the <a href="https://www.nationalguard.mil/News/Article/2470087/nh-guard-members-backstop-state-prison-corrections-officers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Corrections</a> during a staffing shortage at state prisons in 2021, supported local hospitals, and responded to <a href="https://www.unionleader.com/news/safety/national-guard-to-be-on-standby-in-manchester-man-accused-of-encouraging-riot/article_9a9721d9-86e2-52ee-bc3e-90b297a9e3d4.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">civil disturbances</a> during the protests after the death of George Floyd. The 237th company also previously deployed to Afghanistan in 2012 and 2013.
The press release also noted that a previous National Guard unit deployed to the southwest border between October 2020 and November 2021; the soldiers on that deployment assisted in more than 200,000 apprehensions, drug seizures totaling more than $893 million, and 20 migrant lives saved.
Local news outlet <a href="https://www.wmur.com/article/new-hampshire-national-guard-us-mexico-border-2022/41495733" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WMUR</a> reported Monday that the deployment came in response to a federal mobilization order from the Department of Defense. More than 12 states deployed Guard units from their state to assist the effort, Sununu told WMUR. The Guard&#8217;s presence &#8220;will allow the agents to focus more on the ground and dealing with people coming directly across the border,&#8221; New Hampshire National Guard spokesman Greg Heilshorn told the outlet.
The border crisis has continued to escalate under the Biden administration. Authorities made more than <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2022/09/19/u-s-mexico-border-arrests-record-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">two million arrests</a> of illegal immigrants at the border during fiscal year 2022, the first time border officials crossed that threshold.
In September, House Republicans sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding answers after reports surfaced that Venezuela was sending <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-demand-answers-from-biden-admin-over-reports-that-violent-sick-convicts-headed-to-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criminals</a> across the border. In addition to the flow of migrants, lethal drugs like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dea-issues-warning-over-emerging-trend-of-rainbow-fentanyl-across-u-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fentanyl</a> have also been pouring across the border at high rates.

Don Bolduc has claimed victory in New Hampshire&#8217;s Republican <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2022-midterms">primary</a> for Senate.
The Associated Press has not yet called the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2022-election">race</a> for Bolduc, but he leads his opponent, state Senator Chuck Morse, by about one percentage point.
The retired Army general <a href="https://www.wmur.com/article/republican-candidates-primary-senate-91322/41198373#">garnered</a> 37% of the vote to Morse&#8217;s 36%, a lead of only about 1,300 votes with 90% of precincts reporting.
Morse said he called Bolduc early Wednesday morning and wished him the best, apparently conceding the race.
&#8220;It’s been a long night &amp; we’ve come up short. I want to thank my supporters for all the blood, sweat &amp; tears they poured into this team effort. I just called and wished all the best to @GenDonBolduc. The focus this fall needs to be on defeating Maggie Hassan,&#8221; Morse <a href="https://twitter.com/Morse4Senate/status/1569934104963022848">tweeted</a> early Wednesday.
Shortly after Morse&#8217;s tweet, Bolduc tweeted that the GOP is &#8220;one step closer&#8221; to flipping the Senate.
&#8220;Our campaign overcame the odds and millions of dollars in spending from outside special interest groups because we built a true bottom-up grassroots campaign. Throughout the primary, I have felt the concerns of the voters, and heard time and again we need to send an outsider to Washington,&#8221; Bolduc said in a victory <a href="https://twitter.com/GenDonBolduc/status/1569916323680976898">statement</a> Tuesday night.
He added that &#8220;out of touch career politicians&#8221; like Hassan &#8220;spend millions on TV ads&#8221; rather than town halls and debates.
&#8220;I am going to keep campaigning the New Hampshire way,&#8221; Bolduc said.
Bolduc&#8217;s apparent victory means he will face incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) in the fall.
Hassan also won her primary Tuesday night with no substantial opposition and called Bolduc &#8220;simply too extreme&#8221; for New Hampshire.
&#8220;This campaign will be a clear contrast between my record of delivering for the people of New Hampshire and Don Bolduc’s radical, backward-looking agenda,&#8221; Hassan said.
Hassan, a first-term senator, is considered one of the most vulnerable Democrat senators this election cycle. She won by a tiny margin of about 1,000 votes in 2016, but her job approval has sunk since then. Democrats have assumed that the more conservative Bolduc would be a weaker candidate against Hassan than the more moderate Morse, but with President Joe Biden&#8217;s poll numbers <a href="https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-BIDEN/POLL/nmopagnqapa/">declining</a> over the economy, that remains to be proven.
Meanwhile, Hassan has dug her heels in on ultra-progressive issues like late-term abortion, making her support of the procedure all the way through the third trimester part of her campaign. The polarizing issue could end up costing her with Granite State moderates.
Over the summer, Bolduc told The Daily Wire that inflation is the top issue facing New Hampshire voters this fall.
“People can’t afford a new car and can’t afford the gas. They can’t afford their groceries. They’re trading all of this, all of these decisions and putting that money towards keeping their vehicle going in order to be able to support their family and get to their jobs,” Bolduc <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-the-economy-stupid-gop-new-hampshire-senate-candidates-slam-maggie-hassan-on-inflation">said</a> in July.
During the primary, the other Republican Senate candidates struggled with name recognition, a problem Bolduc was less beset by as voters remembered him from when he ran for Senate in 2020.
Thanks to New Hampshire&#8217;s late primary, Bolduc has just eight weeks to campaign as the primary winner until the general election in November.

Underdog Trump-Republican Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/13/us/politics/karoline-leavitt-nh-house-gop-primary.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won</a> the GOP primary for New Hampshire&#8217;s First Congressional District on Tuesday. 
Leavitt, who worked in former President Donald Trump&#8217;s press shop and then for Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), could become the youngest woman ever elected to Congress if she pulls out a win in November. She turned 25 years old last month. 
“It feels like the honor of a lifetime,” the young politico <a href="https://nhjournal.com/leavitt-chris-pappas-has-never-faced-a-candidate-like-me/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NH Journal after her win. “I’m so humbled, I’m at a loss for words over the outpouring of support from conservatives, from every community.”
Republican Matt Mowers, who worked on Trump&#8217;s 2016 presidential campaign and served in the State Department during the Trump administration, was the presumed frontrunner for nearly a year, but in recent weeks Leavitt was able to pull ahead. The 25-year-old received support from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), and other big-name Republicans.
“When we got into this a year ago, nobody knew who I was,&#8221; Leavitt said. &#8220;I had no money in the campaign account. I just had a drive and a work ethic and a passion to fight for this state and that is paid off over the last year.&#8221;
During her victory speech on Tuesday, Leavitt acknowledged the historic nature of her win and predicted another victory in the November election against Democrat Rep. Chris Pappas.
&#8220;Tonight, we made history,&#8221; she told supporters. &#8220;And I look forward to serving as the youngest congresswoman in United States history when we beat Chris Pappas.&#8221;
&#8220;As many of you know, my youth is one of the many reasons that I felt compelled to run for Congress in the first place,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Because it&#8217;s my generation of Americans &#8212; your children, your grandchildren &#8212; who are not being served well by the current state of our education system, our media and our entire culture.&#8221;
Far-Left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) received winning media attention in 2018 when she became the youngest woman elected to Congress at age 29.
“This is what is possible when every day people come together in the collective realization that all our actions — no matter how small or how large — are powerful, worthwhile and capable of lasting change,” Ocasio-Cortez <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/06/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-is-now-the-youngest-woman-elected-to-congress.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gushed</a> in her victory speech at the time. “Words cannot express my gratitude.”
Speaking to Fox News on Tuesday evening, Leavitt said voters wanted a &#8220;home-grown America First conservative going up against Chris Pappas this fall.&#8221;
The Republican dismissed the questioning of her far-Right platform, telling Fox News that being America First is &#8220;not partisan.&#8221;

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) slammed President Joe Biden on Sunday for suggesting some Republicans are motivated by &#8220;semi-fascism.&#8221;
Appearing on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; Sunday, Sununu blasted Biden for comparing the &#8220;extreme MAGA philosophy&#8221; of pro-Trump Republicans to &#8220;semi-fascism.&#8221; Sununu pointed out that Biden campaigned on being a unifier and called on him to apologize for maligning &#8220;half of America&#8221; that disagrees with him politically.
&#8220;Horribly insulting,&#8221; Sununu said. &#8220;The fact that the president would go out and insult half of America &#8212; because effectively half of America votes Republican and half of America ultimately votes Democrat, it swings a little bit one way or the other. But to effectively call half of America semi-fascist because he’s trying to stir up controversy, he&#8217;s trying to stir up this anti-Republican sentiment right before the election, it’s horribly inappropriate and insulting and people should be insulted and he should apologize.&#8221;
Sununu also decried Republicans painting Democrats with the broad brush of socialism or communism but lashed out at Biden again for using such divisive rhetoric.
&#8220;We can say all the Democrats are communists; they’re all ultra-socialist communists that just want to bring down our capitalistic market. That’s not true of Democrats either,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;When we allow ourselves to talk in these extremes, we polarize the country, we bring people further apart. If I remember, [Biden] was the guy, the candidate at the time, to be president that said he was going to bring everybody together, and then to call half of America fascist, come on. Look, he owes an apology. That’s not appropriate. That isn’t leadership.&#8221;
At a closed-door meeting with Democratic donors in Rockville, Maryland, on Thursday, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/25/biden-trump-philosophy-semi-fascism-00053831" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden</a> attacked pro-Trump Republicans, saying that faction of the GOP is committed to a philosophy of &#8220;semi-fascism.&#8221;
&#8220;What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden said. “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”
At a rally later in the day, Biden told supporters he doesn&#8217;t respect the so-called &#8220;MAGA Republicans.&#8221;
“I respect conservative Republicans,&#8221; said Biden. &#8220;I don’t respect these MAGA Republicans.”
&#8220;There are not many real Republicans anymore,&#8221; Biden added.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

The official Twitter account for the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire took a beating on Friday for suggesting that people should celebrate the death of the late Senator <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-claims-he-never-said-anything-negative-about-john-mccain-he-lied/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John McCain</a> (R-AZ) as they would any other holiday.
The account posted a photo from the late senator&#8217;s funeral — with his daughter Meghan McCain standing beside the casket in tears — and added just two words by way of a caption: &#8220;Happy Holidays.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Meghan McCain responded to the tweet with several thoughts — first taking aim at Twitter ostensibly for allowing such a hateful tweet to remain posted on the platform. &#8220;This is hideous &#8211; even by Twitter&#8217;s standards,&#8221; she <a href="https://twitter.com/MeghanMcCain/status/1562995539100110848" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
She then turned on the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, saying, &#8220;This is the official twitter account of the state of New Hampshire&#8217;s Libertarian political party. I really fear for the future of the world and how we have come to treat each other — especially on social media. I hope no one ever does anything like this to any of you.&#8221;

&#8220;I’m actually sadly used to this type of thing &#8211; my public grief and pain have become something comedians make YouTube videos about as ‘comedy.’ The worst part is what this does for other people in severe pain and grief &#8211; god forbid anyone displays it publicly and its documented,&#8221; she <a href="https://twitter.com/MeghanMcCain/status/1562998084904550401" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>.
She concluded with a series of posts addressing the photo itself — and anyone else who might be feeling the same kind of pain that was documented there. &#8220;This photo is the most pain I’ve ever been in — physically, emotionally — worse than any moment of childbirth. I thought it was going to kill me. But I didn’t and it made me the woman I am today. I’m made of steel. To anyone who feels like I did here, it passes, I truly promise,&#8221; she <a href="https://twitter.com/MeghanMcCain/status/1562999270051295232" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/MeghanMcCain/status/1563000663574884352" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adding</a>, &#8220;I promise anyone who is in the horrific, iron gripped jaws of grief — with time it gets softer and less intense.

Democrats facing tight <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2022-midterms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">midterm</a> campaigns in swing states are distancing themselves from President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel $10,000 in <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/student-loans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">student loans</a> per borrower.
White House officials had been weighing the move for months before officially landing on the $10,000 figure this week, although some left-wing lawmakers have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-cpac-footage-is-nuts-progressives-blast-pelosi-for-saying-student-debt-forgiveness-is-a-bad-idea">supported</a> eliminating debt of up to $50,000 per borrower. Yet Democratic candidates in the heat of election battles are openly opposing the loan cancellation policy.
“We all know the cost of higher education is crushing families … but this announcement by President Biden is no way to make policy and sidesteps Congress and our oversight and fiscal responsibilities,” Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH), who is running to keep his seat in the House of Representatives, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-way-to-make-policy-democratic-congressman-rips-bidens-plan-for-student-debt-cancellation">said</a> in a statement. “Any plan to address student debt should go through the legislative process, and it should be more targeted and paid for so it doesn’t add to the deficit.”
Biden maintains a <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/329384/presidential-approval-ratings-joe-biden.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismal</a> 44% approval rating, according to Gallup, which noted that 40% of independents approve of Biden. As vulnerable Democrats attempt to shake Biden’s particularly poor economic record, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/clear-majority-of-americans-worried-about-more-inflation-as-biden-mulls-canceling-student-debt">survey</a> from CNBC revealed that 59% of Americans are concerned that student debt cancellation “will make inflation worse.”
“The President’s plan also doesn’t address the underlying issue of the affordability of higher education, and it is clear that the high cost continues to limit opportunities available to students,” Pappas continued. “Ultimately we must ensure everyone has the chance to further their education and gain the knowledge and skills they need to thrive, and I’ll continue to make that a priority.”
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), who is running against Republican nominee J.D. Vance for a seat in the Senate, likewise rejected Biden’s move to cancel student debt.
“As someone who’s paying off my own family’s student loans, I know the costs of higher education are too high,” Ryan remarked in a <a href="https://twitter.com/ZaidJilani/status/1562523156908503040/photo/1">statement</a>. “And while there’s no doubt that a college education should be about opening opportunities, waiving debt for those already on a trajectory to financial security sends the wrong message to the millions of Ohioans without a degree working just as hard to make ends meet.”
Pappas’ approval rating has diminished to 42% ahead of the Republican primary election on September 13, according to a <a href="https://www.anselm.edu/new-hampshire-institute-politics/new-poll-saint-anselm-college-survey-center-shows-republican-lead">poll</a> from St. Anselm College, while another <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/ohio-2022-jd-vance-leads-tim-ryan-in-competitive-bid-for-us-senate-gov-dewine-holds-16-point-lead-over-democratic-challenger/">survey</a> from Emerson College finds Vance leading Ryan by 3% of the Ohio electorate. President Biden carried New Hampshire by seven points in the 2020 election and lost Ohio by eight points to former President Donald Trump.
Beyond those pursuing re-election, leading Democratic economists have spurned the student loan cancellation policy.
Jason Furman, who served as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers during the Obama administration, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-democrat-economists-blast-bidens-student-loan-bailout-pours-gasoline-on-the-inflationary-fire">argued</a> that “pouring roughly half trillion dollars of gasoline on the inflationary fire that is already burning is reckless.” Lawrence Summers, who worked as Treasury Secretary and National Economic Council director under the Obama and Clinton administrations, likewise <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/raises-demand-and-increases-inflation-obamas-top-economist-shreds-biden-plan-for-student-loan-cancellation">said</a> that the policy “consumes resources that could be better used helping those who did not, for whatever reason, have the chance to attend college.”

The Deep State&#8217;s raid — er, scratch that — the Department of Justice&#8217;s (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation&#8217;s (FBI) raid on former President Donald J. Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago home shocked the nation Monday and sent a jolt into mid-term races across the land.
A new poll from Trafalgar Polling and Convention of States <a href="https://www.thetrafalgargroup.org/news/nat-issues-survey-fbi-raid-motivation-0810/">reveals</a> that 53.9% of independent voters, as well as 76.7% of Republican voters, believe Trump’s political enemies are behind the FBI raid. It was taken between August 9 and August 10 and surveyed roughly 1,000 likely voters. 
Furthermore, that same poll shows that the majority of Democratic, Republican, and independent voters alike say that the FBI raid has increased their motivation to vote in the 2022 election. For the GOP, 83.3% of respondents said the feds&#8217; search gave them extra reason to get out and vote this November.
By now, Republicans of all stripes have condemned the raid in varying degrees, with some expressing caution until more details are revealed while others claim it is more evidence that &#8220;the swamp&#8221; is out to get Trump at all costs.
Here&#8217;s a round-up of some reactions and other relevant mid-term news.
(B)Lake Of Fire In Arizona
Arizona GOP gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake has gone full scorched earth in her reaction to the raid. The America First candidate called for a complete overhaul of the federal government until we &#8220;can figure out what the hell is going on,&#8221; to borrow a phrase from Trump himself.
“This is one of the darkest days in American history: the day our Government, originally created by the people, turned against us,&#8221; Lake <a href="https://twitter.com/KariLake/status/1556808739281203200">tweeted</a>. &#8220;This illegitimate, corrupt Regime hates America and has weaponized the entirety of the Federal Government to take down President Donald Trump.”
Then, she added, “We must fire the Federal Government&#8221; and promised to fight &#8220;these Tyrants with every fiber of my being.&#8221;
The Trump-endorsed Lake secured Arizona&#8217;s GOP gubernatorial nomination and is running as an outsider. In a speech, she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-backed-kari-lake-wins-gop-primary-in-arizona-governors-race">claimed</a> triumph over the &#8220;McCain machine&#8221; — an apparent reference and shot at the late Senator John McCain.
Lake is facing off against Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D-AZ). The Cook Political Report <a href="https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/governor-race-ratings">rates</a> the Arizona gubernatorial race a toss-up.
GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters pointed out that his opponent, incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), hadn&#8217;t said one iota about the raid on Trump&#8217;s home.
&#8220;Why isn’t Mark Kelly saying anything??? Is he concerned about the politicization of the DOJ?&#8221; Masters <a href="https://twitter.com/bgmasters/status/1557168140550713344?s=20&amp;t=-VdVPOy6PRgmx3XFNAfbHA">tweeted</a>. &#8220;About Joe Biden persecuting his political opposition? As usual, silence from Mark Kelly, as he helps drag the country further in the wrong direction.&#8221;
Masters is currently behind in polling but gaining ground.
He has cut Kelly&#8217;s lead in half since July. The latest poll shows Masters trailing Kelly by five points, 49%-44%. The Republican firm Fabrizio, Lee &amp; Associates conducted the survey for America Next, a pro-Masters political action committee.
Granite State GOP Rock Solid In Condemning Raid 
In New Hampshire, at least three GOP candidates running for Senate against incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) have condemned Monday&#8217;s raid.
“Whenever Democrats get desperate &amp; low in the polls they decide to investigate President Trump,&#8221; Chuck Morse, the Republican president of the New Hampshire Senate, <a href="https://www.chuckmorsefornh.com/press/morse-statement-on-raid-targeting-president-trump">said</a>.
The Republican Senate candidate also harangued the Biden administration for having &#8220;enough on their plate&#8221; with open borders, increased drug trafficking, and rising crime rates without being used for &#8220;political prosecutions.&#8221; He went on to claim that such &#8220;over the top show of power stunts&#8221; are &#8220;designed in part to distract and intimidate&#8221; and &#8220;need to stop.&#8221;
Morse warned that the FBI raid was a &#8220;foreshadowing&#8221; of what the Democrats&#8217; proposed 87,000 new IRS agents could signal for New Hampshire families.
Many have been asking, &#8220;Where&#8217;s Hunter?&#8221; But Kevin Smith, the former director of a conservative advocacy group, is essentially asking, &#8216;When is the FBI going to raid Hunter?&#8217;
Smith, also seeking the Senate GOP nomination, <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamSmithforNH/status/1556809369978904576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">tweeted</a> that the raid was a &#8220;complete abuse of power&#8221; and accused the FBI of &#8220;burying evidence on Hunter Biden’s blatant corruption.&#8221;
Smith says the answer to the FBI&#8217;s probe is another investigation into &#8220;politicized government agencies.&#8221;
And then there&#8217;s Don Bolduc, a retired general considered the frontrunner in this so-far sleepy race.  He said he would be concerned if the raid had happened to any former president, including a Democrat, let alone The Don.
&#8220;I think I&#8217;m like millions of Americans right now, wondering what&#8217;s going on,&#8221; Bolduc <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/139-new-hampshire-today-with-j-27984874/episode/8-9-don-bolduc-candidate-for-senate-100702331/">said</a> on the radio show New Hampshire Today. &#8220;If there&#8217;s documents there that needed to be seized, fine, but there should have been a different process for this. This is a former president.&#8221;
Bolduc&#8217;s last name is French and likely derived from the term &#8220;bolduc&#8221; meaning ribbon or thread. Depending on how Granite State voters take his comments, he could be first across the finish line ribbon, or barely hang on by a thread.
Deja Vu All Over Again In Michigan
Tudor Dixon, the Republican nominee for governor, responded to news of the FBI raid by accusing current Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) and President Biden of weaponizing law enforcement against their political opponents.
&#8220;Biden raids President Trump’s home. Whitmer illegally prosecuted her predecessor &amp; continues to go after him &amp; his staff,&#8221; Dixon tweeted, referring to the prosecution of former Michigan GOP Governor Rick Snyder over the Flint water crisis. &#8220;Shameful abuse of power, contemptuous of American principles,&#8221; she <a href="https://twitter.com/TudorDixon/status/1556836096440471552">added</a>.
If you haven&#8217;t caught on, a key strategy for GOP candidates is tying their Democratic candidates to the woefully unpopular Biden.
&#8220;We can prosecute political opponents? Why haven&#8217;t I thought of that!&#8221; &#8211; Michigan&#8217;s Dem AG
It would appear that Michigan&#8217;s Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel apparently likes the idea of using government power to go after political opponents.
Nessel is <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/07/michigan-attorney-general-special-prosecutor-trump-00050244">asking</a> for a special prosecutor to look into Republican AG candidate Matthew DePerno for allegations that he conspired with Trump supporters to gain access to voting machines on the heels of the 2020 election.
The Michigan State Police and Michigan Department of Attorney General are <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22128224-michigan-petition-for-appointment-of-special-prosecutor">investigating</a> &#8220;a conspiracy to unlawfully obtain access to voting machines used in the 2020 General Election&#8221; and have connected DePerno to the alleged plot.
Colorado&#8217;s O&#8217;Dea Says No Way To Trump 2024
“I hope he doesn’t run. I don’t want to see him as president again,” Republican Colorado Senate nominee Joe O’Dea, a first-time political candidate, <a href="https://www.cpr.org/2022/08/05/gop-senate-candidate-joe-odea-says-he-hopes-trump-doesnt-run-for-president/">told</a> radio host Ross Kaminsky on Friday.
“I think that seeing a Biden-Trump rematch again in 2024 would rip the country apart. I think a lot of people are ready to move our country forward,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So, I wouldn’t support him running again.”
During a debate earlier this year, however, O’Dea seemed to suggest he would support Trump if he were the party’s nominee. “If Donald Trump happens to be the Republican nominee, then I definitely won’t vote for Biden,” O’Dea said a week prior to the Republican primary for the Colorado Senate seat.
The O’Dea campaign <a href="https://twitter.com/KyleClark/status/1555645582512795649?s=20&amp;t=n-IJgsC82mPYsbaSkt0UXg">told</a> Colorado Public Radio that he won’t vote for Biden if Biden and Trump are the nominees in 2024. Another reporter <a href="https://twitter.com/KyleClark/status/1555645582512795649?s=20&amp;t=n-IJgsC82mPYsbaSkt0UXg">tweeted</a> that the “campaign confirms O’Dea would still vote for Trump in 2024 if Trump is the Republican nominee.”
“If former President Trump runs, he can expect Joe to campaign alongside [other possible GOP contenders] Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, or Tim Scott,” communication director Kyle Kohli told CPR.
Dick Cheney Doesn&#8217;t Say The Word Wyoming Once In TV Ad Slamming Trump 
Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) is airing a political ad featuring her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, claiming, &#8220;In our nation’s 236-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.&#8221;
We&#8217;ll let readers decide how they feel about the comments from the former VP who started two wars, oversaw torture, and emboldened the National Security Agency &#8230;  but couldn&#8217;t he have at least mentioned Wyoming in his TV ad? He didn&#8217;t say &#8220;Wyoming&#8221; once.
The ad is scheduled to run on Fox News, according to Axios.
Readers can see it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Nq9SpGzic">here.</a>
For her part, Liz Cheney is &#8220;down bad,&#8221; as the kids say these days. Cheney is <a href="https://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/the-poll-results-are-in-hageman-holds-commanding-lead-over-cheney/article_1f33dfe0-02f1-11ed-8202-7befc0111031.html">trailing</a> in the polls by roughly 20 points to the Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman.
&#8220;What Does Delaware? I Don&#8217;t Know, Alaska!&#8221;
In case you haven&#8217;t heard, former Governor Sarah Palin is back in Alaska politics. The GOP congressional candidate knows a thing or two about Ol&#8217; Joe, having faced off against him on the 2008 presidential campaign trail when he was a senator from Delaware.
Palin said in a statement that she &#8220;was outraged but not surprised&#8221; by the raid on Trump&#8217;s residence, which she claimed was meant to stop the America First movement.
&#8220;President Trump is the target of yet another partisan witch hunt, but these third-world tactics will not deter him &#8211; or me &#8211; from fighting to Drain the Swamp and return control of government to the people where it belongs,&#8221; she <a href="https://twitter.com/SarahPalinUSA/status/1557057281451126784?s=20&amp;t=-h6JrGZTjMZ226HzRNqK8Q">added</a>.
Just hours before the raid, Trump joined Palin for a tele-rally, calling in on a phone to encourage GOP voters to choose her to replace the late GOP Rep. Don Young in the rank choice voting.
Nevada&#8217;s Gaming Industry Hedges Its Bets
A staple of the Nevada economy, its gaming industry, has <a href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/nevada/nevadas-casino-industry-donates-to-both-gubernatorial-candidates-2618840/">collectively donated</a> hundreds of thousands of dollars to both Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak and his GOP challenger, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo. Sisolak has the edge so far, taking in $943,000 from the industry since last year. Lombardo is about $200,000 less, receiving a total of $730,000 from the gaming industry in the same time frame, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Homeless Crisis In Oregon&#8217;s Leftist Paradise Takes Center Stage 
Oregon, a state that prides itself on being a beacon of far-left politics, has a homelessness problem.
Oregon&#8217;s GOP gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan <a href="https://www.kgw.com/article/news/politics/christine-drazan-campaign-issue-roadmap-homelessness/283-b38562a2-0207-4ad2-93be-104ad0fbe735">announced</a> her “Roadmap for Oregon’s Future” on Monday, which promises to &#8220;declare a homelessness state of emergency.&#8221;
Her roadmap includes a plan to “[a]ddress the humanitarian crisis” of homelessness, “[r]estore safe communities” and “the rule of law,” and increase job production to help working families. She also detailed plans to boost education in the state, take care of the natural resources of Oregon in a sustainable way, and bring back trust in government.
Comeback Kent Wins It In Washington&#8217;s 3rd District
Tuesday evening, incumbent six-term Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) lost Washington&#8217;s GOP primary, <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/rep-jaime-herrera-beutler-concedes-primary-defeat-to-trump-endorsed-challenger-joe-kent/">conceding</a> to America First candidate and green beret Joe Kent. Kent looked like he was going to lose, but thanks to a surge on voting day gained enough ground to overtake his opponent.

Colorado

Donald Trump

Liz Cheney

The Republican Senate candidates in New Hampshire are bashing their Democratic opponent, Sen. Maggie Hassan, for ignoring the effects of bad economic policy and inflation on everyday Americans.
The GOP primary still lacks a clear Republican frontrunner, and all candidates have one thing in common — they agree the economy, particularly inflation, is a top issue for Granite Staters this election cycle.
Don Bolduc, a retired Army general, said he has observed the tangible effects of inflation on families while on the campaign trail.
&#8220;It is inflation,&#8221; Bolduc told The Daily Wire last month when asked about the top issue facing New Hampshire voters this fall.
&#8220;People can&#8217;t afford a new car and can&#8217;t afford the gas. They can&#8217;t afford their groceries. They&#8217;re trading all of this, all of these decisions and putting that money towards keeping their vehicle going in order to be able to support their family and get to their jobs,&#8221; Bolduc said.
&#8220;The question that many of them have is, how high is this going to go, how much are they going to hurt us?&#8221; Bolduc continued. &#8220;President Biden&#8217;s policies on energy, his bad policies on energy, has driven this, and Senator Hassan has supported this 100%.&#8220;
Bolduc said Hassan is focused on other issues to &#8220;take the light off of all the really bad things she&#8217;s done to Granite Staters and Americans.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;re in a terrible spot,&#8221; he said.
Bolduc is the most well-known of the Republican candidates after he ran for Senate in 2020.
Vikram Mansharamani, a finance expert and political outsider, said the &#8220;three key issues&#8221; on the minds of everyone in New Hampshire are inflation, inflation, and inflation.
&#8220;So I think it&#8217;s very simple. To go back to the old political line, it&#8217;s the economy, stupid,&#8221; Mansharamani told The Daily Wire.
&#8220;That&#8217;s the pain people are feeling every day when they go to the gas stations or to the grocery store,&#8221; he said.
Mansharamani added, &#8220;it&#8217;s not just inflation in the sense of, oh, all my bills are higher. It is targeted in very specific ways to energy, electricity, and food. &#8230; This is effectively a regressive tax. This is a tax on the poor and working class, as well as those who are on fixed incomes.&#8221;
Bruce Fenton, a financier who has made millions from Bitcoin, is the most libertarian candidate running against Hassan.
&#8220;The economic situation that we&#8217;re in is part of the symptom of the overall brokenness of the American economy,&#8221; Fenton told The Daily Wire.
&#8220;We need to follow the Constitution. We need to go back to the basic principles of liberty and freedom, or we&#8217;re going to lose our entire country as we know it,&#8221; Fenton said.
Kevin Smith, former director of a conservative advocacy group and town manager of Londonderry, New Hampshire, agreed with some of his rivals that the economic issues are the top concern.
&#8220;It&#8217;s everything from the prices at the gas pump, home heating oil, which is a big deal in New Hampshire,&#8221; Smith told The Daily Wire. &#8220;We&#8217;re very much a small business state, and so everyone&#8217;s feeling the pinch right now.&#8221;
&#8220;She&#8217;s got her commercials running about how she&#8217;s taking on big oil and Big Pharma. But really, there&#8217;s been nothing with regard to home heating oil assistance,&#8221; Smith said of Hassan. &#8220;She really hasn&#8217;t said a word about it.&#8221;
&#8220;I have no doubt that when they go to the ballot box in November, they&#8217;re going to be voting with their wallets,&#8221; Smith said of his fellow Granite Staters.
Smith also said he would support legislation to make the U.S. energy independent and make the Trump tax cuts permanent.
Chuck Morse, the Republican president of the New Hampshire Senate, said he &#8220;strongly believes&#8221; the top issue is inflation and the economy.
&#8220;It&#8217;s affecting everyone. I mean &#8230; If I go to a gas station, I hear about it every time I pull in. They obviously want me to do something about it as state senator. But it&#8217;s an issue right now, whether it&#8217;s gas or food or anything else. It&#8217;s all anybody talks about,&#8221; Morse told The Daily Wire.
&#8220;What&#8217;s made her vulnerable is inflation and the economy,&#8221; Morse said of Hassan. &#8220;By far, there is no way she can run away from that. It&#8217;s pretty obvious that people can&#8217;t afford to pay $5 for gas and they&#8217;re certainly nervous about what they&#8217;re going to be paying for heating oil in New Hampshire.&#8221;
Morse said the country needs to &#8220;stop the spending&#8221; and start &#8220;living within our means&#8221; and go back to being energy independent.

‘It’s The Economy, Stupid:’ GOP New Hampshire Senate Candidates Slam Maggie Hassan On Inflation

New Hampshire GOP Senate Candidates Slam Maggie Hassan On Inflation

Republican Primary

New Hampshire&#8217;s Senate candidates have released their fundraising totals for the second quarter of the year.
The scattered Republican field posted lackluster numbers compared to the incumbent Democrat, Sen. Maggie Hassan.
Hassan <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/07/16/senate-gop-fundraising-flop">raised</a> $5.07 million in the second quarter of this year. Her campaign says she has about $7 million in the bank, <a href="https://maggiehassan.com/news/in-the-news/icymi-senator-hassan-once-again-outraises-all-the-nh-republican-senate-candidates-combined/">boasting</a> about its haul in a statement.
&#8220;It is the second quarter in a row that Sen. Hassan has outraised the entire Republican field combined — ensuring that Maggie for NH has the resources to continue to talk to Granite Staters in every community about Senator Hassan’s record of fighting for New Hampshire,&#8221; Hassan&#8217;s team wrote.
Hassan&#8217;s seat has been <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/07/19/new-hampshire-maggie-hassan-senate-republicans">considered</a> one of the most vulnerable Senate seats this election cycle. However, as New Hampshire&#8217;s Sep. 13 primary draws closer, the Republican field is still scattered, with five major GOP candidates and no clear frontrunner.
Chuck Morse, the Republican president of the New Hampshire Senate, raised $538,000 in the second quarter. Of that total, Morse contributed $100,000 personally to his campaign, <a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00800847/1614812/?mc_cid=f4018beabc&amp;mc_eid=15ab2c0044">according</a> to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
In the first quarter, Morse reported he raised $750,000. He currently has about $975,000 cash on hand.
&#8220;Since launching my campaign on Jan. 29 in a snowstorm, I’ve been humbled by the outpouring of support from across New Hampshire in my race for United States Senate,&#8221; Morse <a href="https://www.chuckmorsefornh.com/press/morse-raises-1-3-million-directly-into-campaign-has-1-million-cash-on-hand-at-end-of-quarter-2">said</a> in a statement.
Kevin Smith, former director of a conservative advocacy group and town manager of Londonderry, New Hampshire, raised nearly $318,000 in quarter two, according to his FEC filing. Smith currently has about $349,000 cash on hand.
“It’s clear that Kevin Smith has the momentum in this race,” <a href="https://www.wmur.com/article/kevin-smith-new-hampshire-q2-2022-fundraising/40643549">said</a> Smith&#8217;s campaign manager Seb Rougemont, per Manchester news outlet WMUR. “As we put our superior grassroots team to work in the weeks ahead, Granite State Republicans will continue to join our insurgent campaign to Save America from the destructive, socialist agenda of Joe Biden and Maggie Hassan.”
Don Bolduc, a retired Army general, raised about $84,000 this quarter, according to his FEC <a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00711010/1612455//?mc_cid=f4018beabc&amp;mc_eid=15ab2c0044">filing</a>. Bolduc has about $65,000 cash on hand.
Bolduc is running &#8220;a true grassroots campaign focused on town hall meetings and retail gatherings,” <a href="https://www.wmur.com/article/don-bolduc-fundraising-q2-2022/40560125">said</a> Bolduc campaign spokesperson Jimmy Thompson.
He added that Bolduc has the &#8220;strongest conservative grassroots support&#8221; and &#8220;remains well positioned to win September’s primary.&#8221;
&#8220;President Biden’s 36% approval rating in New Hampshire is creating a political undertow for Senator Hassan that no amount of money can overcome,&#8221; the Bolduc campaign representative said.
Meanwhile, two other GOP candidates with lower profiles actually raised more than their better-known primary contenders.
Bruce Fenton, a financier who has made millions from Bitcoin, <a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00816967/1612882/?mc_cid=f4018beabc&amp;mc_eid=15ab2c0044">reported</a> raising $1.6 million in the second quarter, but only $21,000 of that sum came from donors, the rest coming out of Fenton&#8217;s own pocket.
Vikram Mansharamani, a finance expert and political outsider, <a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00813295/1615724/">reported</a> the second highest quarter two haul at $830,000. Mansharamani personally contributed about $250,000 of that total.
“Since I announced that I was running at the end of April, I have been humbled by the support I am receiving. Granite Staters know we need to send a businessman to Washington, D.C., to clean up this mess,” Mansharamani <a href="https://www.wmur.com/article/vikram-mansharamani-q2-2022-fundraising/40543039">said</a>. “In just over two months, we have raised a remarkable amount of money. Our campaign is picking up momentum and the pace is accelerating.”
Hassan, 64, is finishing out her first term as senator. The initial GOP favorite to beat Hassan was New Hampshire&#8217;s current Gov. Chris Sununu, but he <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/new-hampshire-gov-chris-sununu-says-he-will-not-run-n1283547">announced</a> in November that he would not be running.

Scattered New Hampshire GOP Senate Candidates Struggle In Q2 Fundraising Against Maggie Hassan

New Hampshire GOP Senate Candidates Struggle In Q2 Fundraising Against Maggie Hassan

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu (R) predicted that a recession is coming and blasted Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, claiming &#8220;she&#8217;s completely misled America&#8221; and should be fired.
Sununu made the remarks during an interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; on Sunday.
&#8220;A recession is coming. You cannot add $5 trillion to America&#8217;s balance sheet and just hope it goes away. The recession is coming. The Fed, I think, has known this for a while. They&#8217;ve kind of ignored it,&#8221; the governor told CNN host Jake Tapper.
&#8220;They should have been easing us into the right rates and where we need to go over a year ago. You have a treasury secretary who is saying, &#8216;Oh, it&#8217;s not inevitable.&#8217; Well, of course, it&#8217;s inevitable. You don&#8217;t need four years of Dartmouth economics to know that when you add $5 trillion, there has to be some outcome, and unfortunately, the outcome is high gas prices, high housing prices, the price of a taco is getting unbearable for some folks. And it hits middle and lower-income families very, very hard. That&#8217;s just going to be the issue going forward,&#8221; Sununu added.
The New Hampshire Republican was also asked about his ideas to improve the situation. His key recommendation was to terminate Yellen from her role as Treasury Secretary.
&#8220;First, I would fire the Treasury Secretary. I think she&#8217;s completely misled America,&#8221; Sununu said.

“I expect the economy to slow,” Yellen said. “It’s been growing at a very rapid rate, as the economy, as the labor market, has recovered. We have reached full employment. It’s natural now that we expect a transition to steady and stable growth, but I don’t think a recession is at all inevitable.”
Inflation hit a 40-year high in May. Gas prices have also hurt Americans as prices have soared to record levels this year and have doubled over the cost per gallon just two years ago.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-splits-with-biden-advisers-says-recession-is-inevitable" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoken out</a> with his prediction that a recession is coming. He made the comments during an appearance at the Qatar Economic Forum in June.
“A recession is inevitable at some point. As to whether there is a recession in the near term, that is more likely than not. It is not a certainty, but it appears more likely than not,” Musk said.
Musk’s assessment stands in contrast with the Biden administration&#8217;s <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/watch-biden-pushes-back-at-reporter-over-recession-warnings-dont-make-things-up/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">view</a> that said the nation is not necessarily expected to face a recession.
Former Obama administration economic adviser Larry Summers also recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-obama-economic-advisor-whole-range-of-indicators-point-to-coming-recession" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> that an array of economic signs are pointing to a recession within the next two years.

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said Sunday that Democrats might have been successful in getting major legislation through Congress if they had spent more time reaching across the aisle than beating up on members of their own party.
Sununu, a Republican, joined CNN anchor Dana Bash for a morning interview on &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; and argued that President Joe Biden might have made more headway if he had <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-attacks-opponents-in-speech-on-uniting-nation-to-fight-virus-your-refusal-has-cost-all-of-us/">used his relationships</a> with Republicans in the Senate to greater effect.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Bash began the segment by playing a clip of Biden quoting Sununu at his recent <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/the-most-delusional-press-conference-i-have-ever-seen-kayleigh-mcenany-torches-biden-presser/">press conference</a>.
&#8220;Here is what he said. They’re all, for the most – quote, &#8216;They are all for the most part content with the speed with which they weren’t doing anything. So I’m just going to be a roadblock for the next two years? That’s not what I do,&#8217; Sununu said,&#8221; Biden quoted.
&#8220;The president went on to say that Republicans don’t stand for anything other than obstruction right now. Do you agree with him?&#8221; Bash asked.
&#8220;Well, I don’t appreciate the president using my words out of context, a little bit,&#8221; Sununu objected.
&#8220;Why was it out of context?&#8221; Bash pressed.
&#8220;Because I’ve been critical of both sides of the aisle, all 100 senators,&#8221; Sununu replied.
&#8220;It doesn’t mean you weren’t critical –&#8221; Bash pushed back but Sununu interrupted.
&#8220;Oh, no, I&#8217;m critical of everyone. Democrats were a roadblock for four years with President Trump. Republicans are trying to stop a lot of things which I fundamentally disagree with in terms with – I think it’s good they stop certain things to be sure,&#8221; Sununu explained.
&#8220;When you called around, when you were deciding whether you wanted to run for Senate, which is the context here, you did hear from your fellow Republicans –&#8221; Bash pivoted to ask Sunni about the possibility that he might run for Senate.
&#8220;There weren’t any Democrats calling me to ask me to run for Senate, to be fair,&#8221; Sununu laughed.
&#8220;No. But they were saying we just have to hold the line for two years. That’s what you opposed. You didn’t want to be part of that,&#8221; Bash continued.
&#8220;I think the frustration that Republican senators have is that when you are in the majority party, you have the responsibility of reaching over the aisle,&#8221; Sununu pushed back, arguing that despite his claims of being a uniter and a deal-maker, Biden had not come through with <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/psaki-admits-despite-bidens-calls-for-unity-hes-not-talking-about-solving-bipartisanship-in-this-zip-code-here/">results</a> on that front. &#8220;I think President Biden – I sure as heck didn’t vote for him. But we all wanted him to come in and use those relationships with the Republican senators he had, reach across the aisle, find consensus and really build some bipartisanship that we haven’t seen in a long time. Zero.&#8221;
&#8220;Not zero. The infrastructure bill,&#8221; Bash objected.
&#8220;Thanks to the Republicans forcing it,&#8221; Sununu shot back. &#8220;To be fair, if the Democrat Party spent as much time trying to reach across the aisle with a couple Republicans as they did beating up Senators Sinema and Manchin, we would have gotten something done. But  they spent all their time tearing apart their own party as opposed to saying okay, who are the couple of Republicans we can work with here, where can we trim things back? That’s what America wants, and I think I’m expressing the same frustration that most Americans have.&#8221;

A teachers union in New Hampshire is suing the state to block a law that bans Critical Race Theory in public schools.
The American Federation of Teachers&#8217; New Hampshire chapter filed a <a href="https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/aft_nh_complaint_final.pdf">federal lawsuit</a> on Monday, arguing that the law violates teachers&#8217; First Amendment rights.
&#8220;This law has created fear among teachers who are not actually violating any New Hampshire law, but fear they could be targeted without evidence by people with a political agenda. Educators are terrified of losing their teaching license over simply trying to teach,&#8221; said Deb Howes, president of AFT-NH in a <a href="https://www.aft.org/press-release/aft-nh-teachers-parents-file-lawsuit-against-divisive-concepts-law">statement</a>. &#8220;This is something I never thought would happen in America.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/teachers-union-leader-praises-op-ed-that-falsely-claimed-parents-have-no-right-to-shape-their-kids-school-curriculum">Randi Weingarten</a>, President of the American Federation of Teachers, called the law &#8220;chilling and untenable&#8221; in the same statement. &#8220;Either teachers attempt to follow a law so defectively vague and broad that they can’t fulfill their instructional duties to adequately educate their students, or they choose to teach as they have and as the state law has long required, and risk career-ending repercussions,” said Weingarten.
&#8220;We must teach both our triumphs and our mistakes, whether it’s enslavement, Japanese internment or the treatment of those with disabilities,&#8221; she said.
New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu defended the law, telling <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-hampshire-teachers-union-crt-lawsuit">Fox News</a> in a statement: &#8220;Nothing in this language prevents schools from teaching any aspect of American history, such as teaching about racism, sexism, or slavery — it simply ensures that children will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, gender, sexual identity, or religion,&#8221; he said.
The law was passed and signed into law in June. The Daily Wire previously reported:
<blockquote>The law the group is referring to, “<a href="http://gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=1080&amp;inflect=2">Right to Freedom from Discrimination in Public Workplaces and Education</a>,” was passed by the state legislature and signed by Governor Chris Sununu on June 25. The law prohibits public employees from teaching or training any student or other employee:
<ul>
<li>“that people of one age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, creed, color, marital status, familial status, mental or physical disability, religion, or national origin, are inherently superior or inferior” to another person of any of these immutable characteristics or personal identities;</li>
<li>that an individual is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously, because of some immutable characteristic or group identity;</li>
<li>that an individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment because of some immutable characteristic or group identity; or</li>
<li>that people of one identity group or immutable characteristic should not treat other classes of people equally, without regard to those traits or classes</li>
</ul>
The law also contains a similar provision in a subsequent section that extends the bans to public schools specifically. The law does include protections for “discussing, as part of a larger course of academic instruction, the historical existence of ideas and subjects” like racism and discrimination. &#8230;
Furthermore, the law provides that violations of the law by a teacher constitute “a violation of the educator code of conduct that justifies disciplinary sanction by the state board of education.” An <a href="https://www.doj.nh.gov/civil-rights/documents/faq-educational-programs.pdf">FAQ document</a> from state officials indicates that a violation of the law by a teacher subjects that teacher to disciplinary action by the state board of education, which could potentially include a loss of credentials.</blockquote>
New Hampshire is one of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/north-dakota-gov-signs-bill-banning-critical-race-theory-from-public-schools">several states</a> that have already banned Critical Race Theory in public schools.
