The Senate Passively and Collectively Voted for a New TAX

May 6, 2024 Julie Smith

Yes, that’s what I said and it’s the harsh and unpleasant truth, as truthful as saying that Melanie voted for an income tax. No member is exempt from blame so each one gets their rightful 1/24th, but some are definitely more deserving of rebuke than others, according to my report, but let’s first make it … Read more

Jeb’s Senate

May 5, 2024 Julie Smith

By the time this reaches the readers, most people will have already known that Jeb announced his retirement, so calling this piece “Jeb’s Senate” is appropriate. Adam Sexton called Jeb the Architect of Medicaid expansion, which is NOT a moniker to be proud of, and the senate voted 24-0 for 2023’s SB 263, a Uniparty item, and Jeb is known for pushing their agenda.

Greetings, Good Senators. April 18 was a sad day for transparency in NH and I am asking you to reject the Judiciary Committee’s recommendation and even consider saying “thank you, Mr President, I rise to oppose the recommendation and urge this body to vote ITL.”

HB1002 – Are We Punishing Everyone for The Behavior of a Few or Limiting Access to the Wealthy and Well-Connected? (Both!)

April 22, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The Republican majority of the New Hampshire Legislature is on the verge of doing what Democrats do. Punish everyone for the alleged bad behavior of a few. Assuming the few are truly being cantankerous in their pursuit of public records. It is reminiscent of most, if not all, Left-Wing gun-grabbing legislation.

Yoga Humor and RTK Action Items.

April 21, 2024 Julie Smith

Most of us have at least a rudimentary familiarity with yoga, either as a practitioner or someone who knows one. You can confirm that lots of poses are named after animals. To all Granite State yogis and yoginis, I present the “Hilliard Position.” Stay with me here.

Don’t Force Taxpayers to Fund Irreversible Surgeries for Gender-Confused Kids

April 21, 2024 Beth Scaer

On April 17, I testified to the NH Senate HHS Committee in favor of Rep. Jim Kofalt’s bill HB1660 which would ban using Medicaid to pay for gender reassignment surgery for kids. Rep. Kofalt and I were the only two to testify in favor of the bill. Not forcing taxpayers to fund irreversible surgeries for gender-confused kids is the least the NH legislature can do to protect children.

Is Sen. Regina Birdsell Part of the Covid Cult? You Decide.

February 11, 2024February 11, 2024 Julie Smith

Shane Sirois, a rep from the lovely red town of New Ipswich, emailed me, identifying himself as a member of the Vax Injury Caucus. He was putting out an all-hands-on-deck call for action because SB 319 had a hearing in the Senate HHS committee on 1/10/24. Like I’ve said before, Nashua owes red towns its gratitude for serving us unserved folks in the House.

A Bill To Protect Citizen’s Sexuality From Abuse and Negligence by Their Doctors

January 15, 2024 California Refugee

I have one purpose in writing this article: as a former trial attorney, I believe that it is a fundamental right of every man, woman, and child to seek Justice in our courts for legally recognized wrongs that they feel have damaged them.

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (06/08/23)?

June 9, 2023June 9, 2023 Judy Aron

We learned that Republican attendance still put them in the minority today as compared to the Democrat caucus. With 8 Republican members out, and 4 on the Dem side, it put the numbers around 191D-187R in the morning and hovering around 188D-182R later in the day. It is the reason some nanny state bills passed … Read more

An Open Letter to Four Senate Finance Committee members

April 10, 2023 Op-Ed

Greetings, committee members. While I haven’t read all 149 pages of the budget heading your way, I know some who have. This email could easily get very long, but I will try to keep it short and focus on my biggest grievances against the House for passing it.

February 5, 2023 Op-Ed

Cannon Mountain is at it again – now demanding $25 million from state taxpayers to replace a part-time ski lift that is only halfway through its engineered life (the tramway).

I’ve Decided To Run For The NH State Senate In District 20!

October 2, 2025June 29, 2022 Rich Girard

Liberal Lou D’Allesandro’s held this seat since 1998. That’s 24 years, two years longer than my oldest child’s been alive. Things have changed over those many, many years, including the district, which, with wards 2, 3, 4, 10, 11 & 12 is now the only all-Manchester district.
