SMITH: Flip Another Senate Seat And Ignore McGough

I’ve heard Chris Ager say many times, ad nauseam, that ANY seat can be won.  The reason I used the words “ad nauseam” is that I’ve heard it the most times inside the Nashua Marriott ballroom, usually at the NRCC podium during a routine “better luck next time” consolation speech in November.  In even-numbered years, … Read more

SMITH: NH House Betrayed By Rep Hunt’s Poor Leadership

Many Granite Staters are scratching their heads over how a Dem tax bill (HB451) could make it to the Corner office, especially with a red House and an even redder Senate.  This is not the first time our Senate has failed to be a firewall against a bad House bill.  Never forget Queen Sharon, Senate … Read more

SMITH: Senate & House Bill Online Sign-Ins

First, a hat tip to Grokster Beth Scaer, an ardent Rosenwald watchdog, because she called attention to SB 406, a $20M “appropriation” to Nashua for the purchase of the Daniel Webster College(DWC) property.  Hey, what person of sound mind would NOT want DWC removed from CCP ownership?  I’m sure Rosenwald, the sponsor, and all those … Read more

SMITH: An Open Letter to Daryl Abbas

If you’re one to not believe in coincidences and want corruption removed from that 3rd branch of government, this article is for you.  The coincidence, as an uninterested person would see it, is that Laurie Ortolano has court tomorrow and tomorrow happens to be Daryl Abbas’s birthday.  I will get to the corruption removal part … Read more

Smith: Don’t Let 2026 Be “2018 v.2.0”

Mr Sylvia said, “The Senate is a place where good House bills go to die.” GM Hopf said, “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” A Granite Stater in a red community said, “Sadly, Republicans have been their own worst enemy … Read more

Why are Certain Groups being Granted Extraordinary Privileges?

The New Hampshire Senate held a hearing on HB 634. I was unable to attend, but I did submit my testimony. The New Hampshire House passed HB634, to repeal the New Hampshire Autism Council. This council used private citizens’ information by forcing the reporting of autism diagnoses and then used that to get grant funding. … Read more

Queen Sharon’s Crime Against Nashua, One Year Later

April 18th, marks the anniversary of the day Queen Sharon placed her disregard for the Nashua citizenry on full display with her OTP move as Judiciary chair.  I know what you, the reader, might be thinking.  A few thoughts might be: “Resentment is a dubious luxury,” “free yourself and let it go,” or “it’s Easter, … Read more

Both Gun Confiscation Bills ‘Shot Down’

From the Women’s Defense League On Thursday, March 13th, both chambers of the New Hampshire Legislature shot down gun confiscation bills. Both of the bills started out as the exact same legislation. There were a few amendments to the House bill, but those amendments actually made the bill even worse, with each amendment. Both bills were still gun confiscation … Read more

How Compromised is the NH Senate?

The news of 2025’s perennial attempt to abolish the “sticker tax,” aka HB649 (ending annual passenger vehicles inspections), is good so far.  The House has voted in favor despite the failure of the House Transportation Committee to produce a proper recommendation. The committee did not recommend either pass or fail, which has happened to other … Read more

An Early Warning

“Incoming!”  That’s what we hear on TV and in movies when the military unit is about to get shelled.  This article serves to warn Granite Staters of an impending NEW TAX if the House and the Corner Office fail to stop it.  Mr Sylvia told a Florida radio show host that the Senate is a … Read more

So, Your Online Testimony … Doesn’t Really Count

A few days ago, we reported on what we thought was “an issue” with the New Hampshire legislature’s online reporting portal. The Granite State lets you “sign-in” to the legislature’s website to show support or opposition to a bill and even provide written testimony. This was adopted (presumably) because a lot of people can’t be … Read more

Should Some Online “Testimony” Be Dismissed – Yes!

Not all that long ago, the Dover Dems outrage machine lost its hive mind (for a little bit) over Representative Ladd dismissing about 3500 online testimony oppositions to a Bill before the Education Committee. I saw it, thought he shouldn’t do that, and then ignored whatever happened after. Thankfully, it wasn’t just the Dover Dems; … Read more

Is Daryl Abbas the NH JW Carney?

Do you remember JW Carney, the defense attorney that looks like Comrade Andru Volinsky and is known for his list of notorious clients?  When Mr Addison, killer of Officer Briggs, was recently in the news, I noticed Daryl Abbas appeared in this WMUR video sitting at his courtroom desk, presumably as a member of Addison’s … Read more

2023 Senate Education Hearing Videos Gone MIA

Most readers already know what I think of our lame duck Senate quietly rubber-stamping the RTK tax (HB 1002) and advancing it to the Corner Office without any in-chamber discussion or roll call, but I’m here to discuss more of the upper chamber’s subversive antics. First, let’s look at today’s article on Ruth Ward by … Read more

Pot, RTK and Our Feckless Senate

HB 1633 had its big day in the senate chamber and it was indeed a long one though Denise did not get to participate.  More on that in a moment, but let it be known that what I have to say is neither pro-pot nor anti-pot, it’s about the senate’s ruling class’s priorities.
