Ukraine supporter Andy Martin runs as a Republican for Congress in New Hampshire

New Hampshire’s Andy Martin will announce he is running for congress in the Granite State’s First District. Andy recently returned from his second trip to Ukraine. He will run as a strong supporter of providing assistance  until Russia is completely ejected from Ukraine.  “Supporting Ukraine is the existential challenge of our time,” Andy says. “We cannot repeat the mistakes of the 1930’s and reward mass murders for attacking peaceful nations. To pretend we can isolate and insulate America from what happens in the rest of the world is a mass delusion.”

"EEE is a rare but serious disease transmitted by mosquitoes. The last reported human EEE infection in New Hampshire was in 2014, when three cases were identified, and two people died...The risk of getting a mosquito-borne illness will continue until there's a hard frost this fall." • August 27th 2024, Kirk Enstrom • ABC News •

"Massachusetts towns on alert over potentially deadly mosquito-borne virus. Ten Massachusetts counties are at high or critical risk from the mosquito-borne virus eastern equine encephalitis, a rare but potentially deadly virus, state health officials warn.

The big picture: There are currently no vaccines or medicines available to treat EEE, also known as "Triple E," which about 30% of people die from, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "[M]any survivors have ongoing neurologic problems," per an online CDC post. "

The unstable Ron DeSantis has been talking about flattening the Bahamas. As a result of this the US Embassy there has had to reassure the country of America's peaceful intentions.

Ron DeSantis keeps saying it would be easy to blow up the Bahamas, prompting the US Embassy in Nassau to clarify that his comments do not reflect official policy. DeSantis, a 2024 presidential candidate, took a campaign trip to New Hampshire on Saturday, where he has trailed in the polls behind Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, and former President Donald Trump, WMUR, a local ABC affiliate, reported. The Florida governor once again said during the stop that the US would "flatten" the Bahamas if anyone were to ever fire missiles from there into his state — not that there is any indication anyone would do that — Florida Politics reported. "If someone was firing missiles from the Bahamas into, like, Fort Lauderdale, we would never accept that," DeSantis said during a speech to supporters, according to Florida Politics. "We would flatten. Anything that happened, it would be done like literally within 12 hours, it would be done."

It's a shame that DeSantis has no strong feelings about the reality of Russia firing tens of thousands of missiles at civilian targets in Ukraine. Like many Republicans, DeSantis displays more hostility towards America's friends than towards its enemies.

On November 13, the US Embassy in Nassau told The Nassau Guardian that it "regrets" if DeSantis' comments portrayed "anything other than a close alliance" between the Bahamas and the US. "The Bahamas and the United States enjoy an enduring and unique partnership," the embassy said in a statement.

Relations with our allies plummeted during the Trump régime but have since recovered. A GOP victory would be good news for autocrats in Russia, North Korea, and Hungary but bad news for just about every other country.

Alexandra Eckersley, the 26-year-old adopted daughter of MLB first-ballot Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley, was arrested on Monday and charged with felony reckless conduct, second-degree assault/extreme indifference, endangering the welfare of a child and falsifying physical evidence after giving birth to her son in the woods on Christmas and abandoning the child. 

The Manchester Police Department in New Hampshire announced Eckersley’s arrest, saying that she intentionally misled authorities as to the whereabouts of the child. 

"Manchester Police and Fire and American Medical Response personnel searched the area where the mother of the baby directed them, however they were unable to locate the child," the statement read. 

"After nearly an hour, the mother revealed the true location of the baby and led officers to the area. There, officers located the baby who was treated by EMT’s and transported to a local hospital for treatment."

Police responded to a call about the homeless Eckersley around 12:40 a.m. on Dec. 26 near the West Side Arena area. The child was reportedly found just off a footpath in a tent and was described by first responders as "moving, not crying, and exposed," according to Manchester’s WMUR-TV. 

ALL-STAR CARLOS CORREA NOT WILLING TO RESTRUCTURE CONTRACT WITH METS AMID CONCERNS OVER PHYSICAL: REPORT

The reported temperature at the time was around 18 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Manchester Police Chief Allen Aldenberg told CBS News, "Had we not collectively located that little boy when we did and rendered the first aid that was rendered, I’m quite confident the child probably would have died in that tent."

According to an affidavit, via Boston Fox affiliate WFXT, Eckersley told EMT’s "she had no idea she was pregnant and that she felt she had to use the bathroom."

When asked why she left the baby, she replied, "What do they tell you when a plane goes down? Save yourself first."

Manchester Police believe that Eckersley was under the influence of drugs. 

Dennis Eckersley, 68, was inducted into Cooperstown in 2004 after owning a 3.50 ERA over his 24 years of MLB service. His longest time spent with one team was in Oakland with the Athletics, posting a 2.74 ERA as one of the best relievers in baseball with 320 saves over 525 appearances. 

He also spent eight years with the Boston Red Sox and has been broadcasting their games with NESN, a gig that he just announced his retirement from earlier this year. 

An investigation continues in Manchester regarding the situation.

Karoline Leavitt

American political adviser (born 1997)

Karoline Claire Leavitt (born August 24, 1997) is an American political aide currently serving as the national press secretary for Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. She previously served as an assistant press secretary and presidential writer during the first Donald Trump administration. In 2022, she ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Hampshire's 1st district, becoming the second member of Generation Z to win a congressional primary. She lost the general election to incumbent Chris Pappas.

Quick Facts White House Press Secretary, President ...

On November 15, 2024, president-elect Donald Trump chose Leavitt as his White House press secretary to succeed Karine Jean-Pierre. She will be the youngest press secretary in United States history.

Early life and education

Karoline Claire Leavitt was born in Atkinson, New Hampshire, where she was raised in the Catholic faith. Her family owned an ice cream shop and a used truck dealership in Plaistow, New Hampshire. She attended Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts. She then attended Saint Anselm College on a scholarship for NCAA Division II college softball. Leavitt was outspoken on campus about her support for the Trump administration. Her op-eds in the school newspaper include a defense of Trump's travel ban and an attack of the liberal media. She founded the school's first broadcasting club. While in college, Leavitt worked at Hearst Television WMUR-TV. She graduated in 2019 with bachelor of arts degrees in communications and political science.

Career

During her education at Saint Anselm College, Leavitt interned at Fox News. The summer before her senior year of college, she interned in the White House Office of Presidential Correspondence. She returned briefly after her 2019 graduation before joining the White House Press Office as an assistant press secretary under Kayleigh McEnany. Following the conclusion of the Trump administration she was hired as the communications director for U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik from New York.

Congressional campaign

In 2022, Leavitt announced she was running for the US House of Representatives in New Hampshire's 1st district. She campaigned on a far-right platform focused on conservative values, reduced taxes, strong law enforcement, and guns. The Republican primary attracted wide attention because both candidates were former Trump administration staffers. Karoline Leavitt differentiated herself with an inflammatory and brazen style that resembled Trump's, and she gained right-wing supporters including Lauren Boebert, Ted Cruz, and her mentor Elise Stefanik. Leavitt amplified unfounded theories of a stolen election. She criticized Mowers with references to "the swamp" and "establishment Republicans" for his funding from outside PACs. The New York Times described the candidates as ideologically similar and suggested the election was a matter of tone rather than policy.

In September 2022, Leavitt won the Republican primary in an upset victory, beating projected winner Matt Mowers by about 10 points. Donald Trump congratulated her for succeeding "against all odds". At 25 years old, she became the second member of Generation Z to win a congressional primary after Maxwell Frost the month before. After she lost the general election to Democratic incumbent Chris Pappas by 8.2% of the vote, she shifted to self-employment. She declined to run again in 2024.

After the campaign, Leavitt worked for a roster of clients and declined to run again in 2024.

Trump press secretary

In January 2024, Leavitt accepted the role of national press secretary for Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign. In one press appearance on CNN This Morning, she was removed from air for attacking CNN's debate moderators. During a short leave of absence to give birth to her son in July 2024, she was inspired to return to work after seeing the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13.

On November 15, 2024, Donald Trump chose Leavitt as his White House press secretary to succeed Karine Jean-Pierre.

Personal life

Leavitt's husband works as a business owner. Karoline gave birth to her son in July 2024 and resumed professional duties shortly after giving birth, relying on her husband and mother for childcare. She advocates for private education and credits her Catholic schooling for instilling pro-life values, discipline, and the importance of service.

New Hampshire legislators attack Andy Martin with the “Andy Martin Act”

Three crooked New Hampshire state legislators, Joe Sweeney, Joe Alexander and Ross Berry are sponsoring what they call the “Andy Martin Act” to make it more difficult, they think, to run for federal office in New Hampshire. Andy Martin, New Hampshire’s only corruption fighter, exposes their fraud scheme. Andy also exposes how WMUR and the Manchester Union Loser, as well as the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and St. Anselm’s College, have rigged New Hampshire politics against Republican candidates. Andy is in the midst of planning his return to the war in Ukraine later this year. Full story:

First transgender American elected to state legislature charged with child sex abuse

NASHAU, N.H. (TND) — Rep. StacieLaughton, who served in the New HampshireHouse of Representatives from 2020 to 2022, was arrested Thursdayon charges of distributingchild sexual abuse images, according to local police.

Local outlet WMUR reports Laughton's arrest is connected to the case of Lindsay Groves, a Massachusetts preschool worker who allegedly took photos of children while they were in the bathroom.

"Groves allegedly used natural bathroom breaks for the children (routine diaper/pull-up changes prior to “naptime”) to take multiple photos of the prepubescent children in a private bathroom and then sent the photos to [an unnamed individual] via text message," theU.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts said in a release.

Laughton made headlines in 2012 for becoming the first openly transgender individual elected to a state legislature anywhere in the United States, according to Metro Weekly.

A representative from the Nashua Police Department referred The National Desk (TND) to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which did not immediately return a phone call.

Laughton did not immediately return a request for comment from TND. This article will be updated if a response is received.

This article was updated to reflect Laughton was the first transgender person to be elected to a state legislature, but not the first to hold elected office in a legislature. Laughton resigned before taking her seat in 2012.

Deprogramming Propagandized People about the Housing Crisis

It's driving me insane that the bipartisan party-line about the housing crisis is that we need to build more housing. I live in Manchester, New Hampshire, an area where it's agreed that the housing shortage is WORST - WMUR is reporting on it every week - but I know there are 12 vacancies in my building alone. You can walk past empty houses in the "bad" parts of town, not to mention drive past them in more pristine rural areas. You can see the dozen or so postings of vacant places every morning on Craigslist. Meanwhile we have a huge unhoused population and full shelters. Every politician (and Hank Green) give the same answer to this: build, build, build. It's one of those areas where the government is just straight lying to avoid confronting the fact that existing wealth needs to be redistributed. And people believe it. Because it's convenient.

If anyone has resources for countering this false narrative I'd appreciate them. Articles, statistics, etc.. Though I'm not sure that will make a difference, since this is one of those situations where you can see with your EYES that they're lying!
