Some people know me as a “numbers person,” and I might irritate many with my “today in history” posts, but let’s get the following item out of the way. June 27 is Kelly Ayotte’s birthday. There will be tweets, posts, and comments by her operatives and members of her fan club claiming how great she allegedly is despite her disdain for women’s sports, safe spaces, and the will of the people she governs. I am not one of her fans. In fact, I’m a hardcore critic, but I’m here to talk about another “today in history” item that I refuse to let fade into irrelevance. Let’s first do a quick internet query on statute of limitations.
This is what turns up:
“A statute of limitations is a legislative law that establishes the maximum time period after an event within which a plaintiff or prosecutor can initiate legal proceedings. If a case is filed after this deadline, the claim is permanently barred and subject to dismissal.”
Most readers know that there will be no justice for the 10/13/21 executive council arrest victims, at least not from the courts, as far as I know or predict. But what about reform from the legislature? What about one of the enemy camp’s favorite words: reparations? Before discussing the legislature further, let’s first note another significance of June 27. The charges against Nurse Terese were dropped on 6/27/23 after 20 months of tormenting lawfare that occurred before and after the Damn Emperor’s reelection to a 4th term.
Let’s talk about the legislators of those 9 victims, then and now, because some of them are still in office today. I will start with James Stuart of Rochester, who was arrested last, and proceed in chronological order of the arrests. Rochester is represented by Senator Gray and 11 reps, most being elected after 10/13/21. Because Rochester is a city, it’s unclear(to me) who represented Mr Stuart in the House, but Senator Gray was indeed in office at the time.
Emilee Spiller, who was arrested at arm’s length from my front row seat, had something in common with me as Kevin Avard was our then-mutual senator and he is still in office today. In fact, I reached out to Kevin the moment that video evidence of His Excellency’s involvement came to my attention. Kevin told me to tell Councilor Wheeler to call the body to order without the governor and arrange to have the charges dropped. Of course, that did not happen, but Kevin did make contact with Emilee’s husband. As for Emilee’s reps, they’re currently Shane Sirois (elected in 2022), Diane Kelley of Temple, and Jim Kofalt of Wilton, the latter two serving at the time of the arrests but not representing New Ipswich until after redistricting.
Monica Holm of Hudson has 100% red purity in her town. Sharon Carson was in office then and has had two Senate leadership promotions following the past 2 elections. As for the 8 reps, there have been some personnel changes. Jordan Ulery, Andrew Prout, and Ralph Boehm were in office at the time of the arrests. To Andrew Prout’s credit, he sponsored articles of impeachment against His Excellency 10 months earlier for his COVID tyranny and abuse of power.
Kathleen “I didn’t do anything” Appleton Bussiere of Newton had mostly the same pure red representation as Newton does today. Senator Gannon, Reps Robert Harb, Charles Melvin and JD Bernardy were in office then and are still there today.
On 10/13/21, Marylyn Todd and her husband had zero representation in either chamber because they were living in Nashua and Ward 3 is home to Rosenwald and a revolving door of nasty people occupying those 3 rep seats.
John “Why don’t you arrest the Damn Emperor” Schmitt had the same problem as the Todds; zero representation in the legislature because he’s in Keene. Being a city, Keene had 100% blue purity then as it does now despite some personnel changes in both chambers.
Famous Frank “Footloose” Staples is a Manchester guy that had no representation in the Senate in 2021 and possibly none in the House, as there were just a paltry few good people occupying its 30+ seats, and I don’t know if they were Frank’s reps. Manchester has since improved its representation in both chambers.
Nurse Terese, being in Loudon, had red purity among her legislators, then and now, despite some personnel changes. Kudos to Rep Jose Cambrils, who was in office then and appears to have another primary this year. Jose, who fled Communist Cuba as a kid, didn’t waste any time in condemning what happened, but what about Terese’s other reps? Moffett was in office then, and he’s seeking reelection in the same primary with Jose and a non-incumbent. I’ve been told that Moffett usually gets the highest number of votes, which is too bad because Jose is an infinitely superior rep to Moffett, but let’s talk about Loudon’s 3rd rep seat and Senate District 17.
Senator Reagan retired in 2022, and then-Rep. Howard Pearl of Loudon was promoted to that seat after winning a primary against future Rep. Scott Bryer of Northwood. Alvin See was elected to Howard Pearl’s old seat in the House.
If you live in any of the communities currently represented by legislators who served in the 2021 legislature, why not ask them for their response to the arrests in their capacity as lawmakers? Ask them if they still remember that incident. Ask them what they thought then and what they think now. Ask them if they would have cosponsored any bills calling for an investigation. Ask them if they did anything on their own to seek truth and justice.
Did they request an appointment with His Excellency or their executive councilors to discuss the incident? I know that Howard Pearl appears to have a cozy relationship with the Damn Emperor. What has he done as a lawmaker to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future? I’ll wait for that answer because it matters in more ways than one. In fact, if you or someone you know lives in District 17, especially in Loudon, please ask Howard because I am his primary opponent. I haven’t forgotten 10/13/21, and neither should he.
And back to Kelly Ayotte, let’s not forget that she was once the attorney general, and she just reappointed the one who supervised the arrests in person. If you happen to cross paths with her in the near future, let someone else ask about vetoing women’s bills. Surprise her with a thoughtful question about the executive council arrests and the lawfare that followed because she’s definitely the kind of governor likely to use the same playbook as the Damn Emperor.
