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.”

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.

I just sent you an ask but I think it failed because I tried to attach an image - I was sharing with you the delightful blanket a producer at my local news station crocheted with a line representing the high temperature from every single day of the last six months! You can see it if you google "WMUR blanket"

Aww, thank you, anon! That is entirely charming. I've seen people make temperature blankets and sky scarves and all manner of other similar things and it's such a cool concept!

And for anyone curious, here's a little article about it on the WMUR website: temperature blanket!

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:
