I'm not big on "awareness" events. They are most often something we are all well aware of and it'd be better just to say we need x, y, or z for this problem you're all well aware of.

Well, July is Arachnoiditis Awareness month and I'm going to by a bit hypocritical. I have Adhesive Arachnoiditis and I am quite sure most people are not aware of it, or how you can get it. If you do nothing else watch the first video. It's changed and is slowly ending my life. Don't agree to epidural steroid injections. Insurance companies are pushing these because they're cheaper than surgery and hospitals are doing a booming business doing hundreds a day and it only take a millimeter off with that needle and your life as you know it is over. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

If you ever get epidural steroid injections, you should become aware of it and research it. If you are suffering from unending pain after having said injections, getting a spinal fusion, or any other trauma to your spine, you should get aware of it.

There's no cure, it's pain level is similar or wore than metastatic bone cancer, and it will take an average of 12 years off your lifespan. #AdhesiveArachnoiditis

Don't say that so quickly. Imaging if you were heavily invested in, say, crypto currency and sponsored lots of bills making it more useful and hence valuable. Maybe even a bill making the state have a crypto currency reserve, or a bill granting immunity to people owning machines that scam old people out of their life savings. That would be a bad look. Corruption always finds a way.

[New Hampshire Representative Terry Roy @T_RoyNHStateRep]

I agree. It is atrocious. War is atrocious.

If you think the military of the United States got up that morning and said "Let's kill little girls.", you should stop being dishonest with yourself. It was obviously not intentional. Unlike Iran, Americans do not see civilians as leverage and shields. The Iranians have used the same building for military use. Then moved little girls into it. The building was still in the very middle of military installations. This would be like us putting a kindergarten in the Pentagon. The military relied on the old intelligence. This was a grossly negligent act and should be investigated and dealt with according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. That said, unlike the 30-40 thousand of their own civilians literally slaughtered by the Iranians in the last several months, it was an accident.

In war, civilians die. Accidents happen. This is why war should be avoided. This is why the Church has a list of things that must be true in order for a war to be considered just. Those conditions were ALL met. The United States has avoided such a war for 40 years. 40 years of negotiation, absorbing thousands of deaths and even successful and attempted assassinations in our own country. Now, the country that killed so many of its own citizens for speaking, was on the cusp of acquiring weapons that could kill hundreds of thousands in a second.

We allowed this to happen with North Korea and ever since the entire world is in constant fear. Unlike Iran, North Koreans do not believe they will go to heaven if they die in battle against their enemy. The Kim regime believes this life is all they get. The Islamists in Iran are excited at the opportunity to die killing the Great and Little Satan. This cannot be allowed, because if it is, the little girls killed in the atrocious accident will be nothing but a footnote in the lists of children burned in Iranian nuclear fire.

3. The Nuclear Question
The Church’s stance on nuclear weapons complicates the "Just War" calculus:

Indiscriminate Destruction: The Church unequivocally condemns any act of war aimed at the indiscriminate destruction of entire cities or vast areas (CCC 2314, Gaudium et Spes 80).

The Risk of Escalation: Because the use of force against a nation seeking nuclear weapons carries a high risk of "evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated," the Church urges extreme caution. However, the Compendium notes that the "massive and indiscriminate" nature of nuclear weapons makes their acquisition by an aggressive, threatening power a "grave and certain" danger.

4. Biblical Foundations
The Church interprets Scripture to support the protection of the innocent while demanding a heart of peace:

Genesis 9:6 & Exodus 20:13: These establish the sanctity of life. The Church views the defense of the innocent as an extension of the commandment "Thou shalt not kill"—i.e., you shall not allow the innocent to be killed.

Romans 13:4: St. Paul describes the governing authority as "God’s servant for your good" who "does not bear the sword in vain" but is "an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer."

Proverbs 24:11: "Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter." This is often cited as the biblical mandate for intervening when others are in mortal danger.

I respectfully ask your guidance on the actual issues we face and not those we wish we did.

In Christ's Peace

[New Hampshire Representative Terry Roy @T_RoyNHStateRep]

Your Eminence, I agree with you regarding Trump's inappropriate comments. Sadly, we were given the leader we need and not the leader we wish for. Trump's pride is his weakness.

That being said, If a prideful leader I must have, I'd rather an inartful and transparent prideful leader than one full of guile and deceit. Nonetheless, I'm reminded of King Uzziah, King Hezekiah, King Nebuchadnezzar and King Saul. All had the favor of God until their pride brought them and their people down.

The Pope would better serve his flock by asking us to pray for Trump to abandon his pride and pray for God's wisdom in his actions. What good could the Pope's comments bring? Does he think calling out such a prideful leader will change his heart? He knows better. He is tempting him and baiting him. Far better would a peaceful and mutually respectful private dialogue.

The flock is also tired of the hypocrisy. Silence from the Holy See on the transgender mutilation of children. Silence on the wholesale slaughter of babies across the West. Silence on Iran's slaughter of its own people, the orchestration of October 7th massacre and so many others.

I would like the Pope to actually address the issue of Iran on the actual facts as they exist and not flowery quotations of peace. A peace that one side will never allow to exist.

As a life long Catholic and elected leader, I took the time to research the position of my Faith. I would like to see the Holy See actually address the issue and be brave enough to say the truth of the Church's position on this specific issue.

The Catholic Church’s position on the use of force to prevent mass killing and the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction is governed by the Just War Doctrine, the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), and the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church.

While the Church has a strong presumption against the use of force, it distinguishes between "preventive" war (striking based on a future possibility) and "preemptive" or "defensive" action against an imminent and certain threat.

1. The Right and Duty of Defense (Catechism)

The Catechism teaches that while we must work to avoid war, governments cannot be denied the right of lawful self-defense once all peace efforts have failed (CCC 2308).

The Grave Duty:

Legitimate defense is not just a right but a "grave duty" for those responsible for the lives of others (CCC 2265). If a nation is threatening to kill innocent people, a governing authority has the moral obligation to "render the unjust aggressor unable to inflict harm."

The Four Criteria:

For military force to be considered "just," four strict conditions must be met simultaneously (CCC 2309):

The damage inflicted by the aggressor must be lasting, grave, and certain.

All other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective.

There must be serious prospects of success.

The use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated.

2. Intervention to Save Lives (Magisterium)

The Magisterium, particularly through the teachings of St. John Paul II and the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, has clarified the "Duty to Intervene" (Humanitarian Intervention):

The Obligation to Intervene: "The international community as a whole has the moral obligation to intervene on behalf of those groups whose very survival is threatened" (Compendium, 506).

Disarming the Aggressor: If political and non-violent efforts fail, it is "legitimate and even obligatory to take concrete measures to disarm the aggressor" (Compendium, 504). This specifically applies to cases of genocide or large-scale killing of innocents.

**Sovereignty is not a Shield: John Paul II famously stated that the principle of state sovereignty cannot be used as a "shield" to justify the violation of basic human rights or the slaughter of innocents.

Yet the Democrats told us there's no need for the Northern Border Alliance and extra patrols at the Swanton Sector are a waste of tax payer money. Apparently the British are coming, though I daresay the Mr. Revere would be perplexed by the surnames in this report. Britain has fallen and we are next if Democrats ever win control of the White House again.

@catturd2 It's the Alien Jewish Wizards. It is so strange how so many seemingly rational, intelligent conservative commentators all lost their friggin minds at the same time. I'd believe a conspiracy that the Chinese brainwashed them somehow before I'd believe Trump is hexed.

@DennisMannionNH Great bill and I'm glad we finally got this across the goal line. Sad that because the anarchists hate law enforcement, I had to shift the focus in my floor speech, but it worked. Great job Dennis.

[Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich]

As we argue about the Iranian religious dictatorship which for 47 years has chanted “death to America” and sought to get nuclear weapons and missiles to reach the United States we ought to remember President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s warning on September 11, 1941 “When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck before you crush him."
If we back down we are putting Chicago or Cleveland or Seattle of other cities at risk of an Iranian nuclear weapon.that is the threat opponents of victory in Iran have to explain.

Your Excellency, Bishop Strickland,

While I have had the greatest respect for your steadfast defense of traditional Catholic positions and your commitment to the Deposit of Faith, I find your recent statement regarding the State of Israel and the removal of Mrs. Carrie Prejean Boller to be a troubling departure from both Magisterial teaching and moral clarity.

To claim that the Church has no stance on the legitimacy of the State of Israel ignores decades of formal development. In the Fundamental Agreement between the Holy See and the State of Israel (1993), the Church formally recognized the sovereign State of Israel. Specifically, Article 1, §2 affirms "the right of the State to carry out its functions, such as promoting and protecting the welfare and the safety of the people." By questioning the legitimacy of the Jewish state, one is not merely expressing a "political opinion," but is distancing themselves from the formal diplomatic and moral recognition established by the Holy See.

Furthermore, we must address the clear link between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. Pope Francis stated unequivocally in 2015: "To attack Jews is antisemitism, but an outright attack on the State of Israel is also antisemitism." Denying a people their right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland—especially after the "irrevocable covenant" affirmed in Nostra Aetate—is a theological and moral error.
Regarding the current war, Catholic moral theology on the Right to Self-Defense is not optional. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (2265) teaches that legitimate defense is a "grave duty" for those responsible for the lives of others. This conflict was forced upon Israel by the unspeakable, inhuman atrocities of October 7th.

To speak of "suffering in Gaza" without identifying the source of that suffering is a failure of truth. In Catholic teaching, the moral weight of civilian deaths lies with those who use "human shields." When an enemy intentionally embeds its military operations within schools, hospitals, and homes, the blood of those civilians is on the hands of the terrorists who use them as pawns, not the nation fulfilling its duty to protect its citizens from annihilation.

Israel has gone further than any nation in history to avoid civilian casualties. This violence would have ended months ago if the hostages—including women and children—were returned. Their continued captivity, and the fact that segments of the population supported the October 7th massacres, cannot be ignored.
True courage is found in standing with our "elder brothers in faith" against the modern face of an ancient hatred. We pray for peace, but peace must be rooted in truth and the right of the Jewish people to live in safety in their own land.

In Christ,

The Honorable Terry Roy
State Representative, New Hampshire

@MAC_VSOG That's my dad.

[New Hampshire Representative Terry Roy @T_RoyNHStateRep]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the government should not be in the business of killing its own citizens. Once that Rubicon is crossed, it comes down to who is in charge and what they deem worthy of death. Today, it's capital murder, tomorrow it may be unspecified "crimes against the state" or "incitement of civil unrest". Before you suggest hyperbole, at least 70 counties retain the death penalty for "treason". What does that mean? tell me who's in charge and I'll tell you what it means.

The first and most important job of any government is to protect its citizens. All of its citizens. Protect doesn't mean they cannot be punished.

My opinion on the death penalty was formed at age 12 and has never changed. Thanks and credit to J.R.R Tolkien & Gandalf the Gray.

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."

[New Hampshire Representative Terry Roy @T_RoyNHStateRep]

Your miniscule chance of ever speaking for the American people ended in November 2024. Iran is responsible for the deaths and mutilation of thousands of Americans and shows no signs of change. They are responsible for the loss of trillions of dollars of capital from the nations of the world. They want a nuclear weapon and refuse to give that up. The American people and sane people of the world indeed do want an end to the nightmare that has been the Islamic state of Iran. The Iranian people want the end of this regime. Well, except for the 30,000 slaughtered in two days last month because they protested. You'd be happier just fading away and crawling back into the bottle of wine you just crawled out of. You have no political future and you're not qualified for any real job, so...yeah wine is about it.
