What do I mean by “the Bald B-Team?” Let it be known that their moniker was inspired by the Red Sox’s “Killer Bs.” I’m referring to RINO Reps Bordes and Boyd, both well-known monkey wrenches and Sununu water carriers, who do their part as members of the House’s R-Team.
The same way that Mookie Betts, Andrew Benintendi, and Jackie Bradley Jr once did in the outfield while together at Fenway Park. The question is important because of the current and fluctuating composition of the House. Keep in mind that there are two special elections coming up that I sadly predict won’t go well. Just look where they are. (Newington and Portsmouth, yeah, good luck with that!)
Bordes, a card-carrying member of the Lang Gang, and Boyd, whose record also speaks for itself, are not new on the minds of those who have been paying attention. Here’s the situation, as I see it, based on how SB 272 came out of House Education last spring. Thanks to our esteemed Speaker, that committee is a 10/10. What that means is that HB 1093 (prohibiting mandatory mask policies in schools) is sadly likely to have no committee recommendation to the whole House instead of the deserved Ought to Pass (OTP).
The hearing was yesterday, and I watched its Livestream, which is now archived here, starting at 4:11:41. Note my commie reps, Mr & Mrs Newman, taking a seat in the audience while frequent Grok Op-Ed contributor Rep. Arlene Quaratiello was finishing up at the mic.
Go figure!
So, the B-Team, who often do His Excellency’s bidding, need to be reminded by the voters that it is an election year and that the Damn Emperor’s recent antics are NOT a desirable thing for candidates to attach themselves down-ballot incumbent or not.
Remember my recent impromptu encounter with former Nashua Republican City Committee chair Chris Buda? Two years ago, when His Excellency eschewed a run against Maggie and instead opted to extend the “NH Reign of Terror” another two years, he made comments about his intention to veto the (2022)Parental Bill of Rights, which he never had to get his hands dirty doing. He got his House water carriers to do his bidding.
Bordes was one of them.
If Chris Buda is correct, the Damn Emperor is in the “quiet phase” and building a 2028 candidate profile for the Oval Office and can’t stand the thought of signing any bill prohibiting mandatory mask policies in schools. Do you see where I’m going with this? What better way to disguise his own “taking a walk” than to get Reps like Bordes and Boyd to play the monkey wrench in a House that must fight for every “butt in seat” roll call vote.
Time to listen to some Steely Dan.
Will Bordes and Boyd “take a walk,” vote the wrong way, or do the right thing? Hopefully, it will be the latter. Meanwhile, I am still trying to find out if Jackie Bradley Jr’s middle name begins with E.
