Rosenwald's House

SMITH: Who Should Sell Rosenwald’s House?

It’s already common knowledge that Rosenwald is retiring from the senate, and the enemy camp has selected Telerski to be her replacement.  Queen Sharon called her and Ruth Ward up to her podium to be recognized and receive clocks as retirement gifts and address the rest of the senate.  I expected the usual themes a … Read more

SMITH: Make Nashua A More WELCOMING City

I just saw a tweet about some “30-minute warning” announcement about a curfew in a city.  The average observer might think of a big box store’s intercom saying, “Attention shoppers, the store closes in 30 minutes, please bring your purchases to the register.”  Not me.  It triggered my contempt for Alderman Wilshire and her insufferable … Read more

SMITH: On Matters of “Civility”

When I opened the Useless Liar’s daily digest email in my inbox, I saw an editorial by Ms. Melanie Levesque and could hardly contain my excitement to read it.  Alas, it was a pay article, and I had to ask a paid member to copy and paste it.  Grokster Beth Scaer, upon sending it, reminded … Read more

SMITH: Don’t Vote To “Sell” Your Right To Vote

Never vote to sell your right to vote.  Your right to vote should be as sacred as free speech and bearing arms.  The latter shall not be infringed.  Unfortunately, there are some people who have no problem with your right to vote being infringed.  Sadly, lots of them are the kind of voters who show … Read more

SMITH: Rosenwald’s Retirement Party On Melanie’s Birthday

Near 10 pm at the end of last Thursday’s super marathon senate session, RPK took to her mic, which means it’s something for the WHOLE senate to hear, the whole 16:8 senate.  She announced a retirement party for Rosenwald late Wednesday afternoon, 5/20, at Arts Alley.  It stands to reason that the whole senate is … Read more

SMITH: Another Ayotte Tantrum Rewarded

Most people are at least vaguely familiar with the behaviorist BF Skinner.  If not, he can be looked up.  Decades after Pavlov founded CLASSICAL conditioning using dogs(more canine talk in a moment) as his subjects, Skinner founded OPERANT conditioning using other animals, mainly mice.  In a nutshell, operant conditioning is behavior modification based on CONTINGENCY, … Read more

SMITH: Who Was Conrad Eaton?

I heard a loud truck outside, looked out the window, saw it was a septic tank truck, and immediately took cover.  I closed all the windows and warned a neighbor down the street to do the same.  She replied, saying they’re servicing ALL the septic tanks in the neighborhood, which was a surprise because I … Read more

SMITH: Next Hairstyle For Laura Telerski?

Before I get into discussing the recommended hairstyle for Comrade Rep Laura Telerski, a hat tip to Beth Scaer and username “Progressive New England,” who tweeted about the style of interest I am proposing.  Both of them inspired the creativity for this article.  Beth and I often ridicule the appearances of various members of the … Read more

Melanie Leveque

SMITH: Some Thoughts On Melanie’s New Wheels

Most readers already know that Ms. Melanie Levesque is going to be Councilor Wheeler’s opponent, again, this year.  What people might not know is that the executive council happens to meet on her birthday, May 20, assuming that date is not misinformation.  Remember Dr. Frank?  He’s the mathematician who brought his expertise to the 2021 … Read more

SMITH: Who Will Be Laura Telerski’s Opponent?

Word of Cindy Rosenwald’s retirement was the moment the attention-seeking Rep Laura Telerski had been waiting years for.  As that meme guy’s sign says, change my mind.  Her candidacy was so predictable, but let’s talk about that race for what I call “an unwinnable seat.”  Rosenwald’s opponents, in chronological order, were as follows: 2018 – … Read more

NH State Senate

SMITH: An Open Letter To Non Freshmen Senate Rs

Good morning, Senate Judiciary members (and all non-freshman Rs): I considered addressing all of you as “Enemies of 91A,” but thought better of it.  Enclosed is an article about Hanover and the SC’s decision in the plaintiff’s favor.  I’m sharing it to remind you that 91A issues are NOT just “a Nashua thing.”  Team Red … Read more

SMITH: Keeping Luz at Bay

We already know who Councilor Wheeler’s 2026 opponent is going to be, and it’s unsurprisingly Ms Melanie Levesque.  She announced their rematch in January, when she was the honoree at a Martin Luther King event.   There are 5 seats in the Executive Council, and there hasn’t been much discussion about opponents for the 4 other … Read more

SMITH: The Case For Gary Daniels

With more and more dirt and bad press on Tim McGough coming to light as the June filing time approaches, we all know that Queen Sharon, Jeb, and PK are scrambling for someone to primary him.  Why not convince (currently Rep) Gary Daniels to take one for the team? As an ordinary rep, Gary is … Read more

SMITH: A “Silent Tim?”

I will undoubtedly get told to repent if I say this, but I’m going to say it anyway.  My least favorite part of the Bible is Timothy.  I don’t care for wives being told to submit (Ephesians) to their husbands, either, but I’ve been able to keep that issue irrelevant by staying single. Timothy, however, wants … Read more

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: A “Chuck For Chuck” Bait And Switch

Let me start by saying a few words about the Society for Industrial Archaeology (SIA).  I was a paid member of the Northern New England chapter back in the days when there was a quarterly newsletter on paper.  I had to be the youngest member then, and perhaps the only woman attending their events who … Read more

SMITH: Battery Bill Update And 91A

As predicted, there was plenty of strident debate on HB1602 (creating a safe battery recycling stewardship program) before the House recessed for lunch.  Mr. McGuire made an excellent 8-minute speech in favor of moving it to an interim study.  I encourage everyone to listen to it, though I’m aware that asking for 8 minutes of … Read more

SMITH: Does YOUR CITY Require Self-Doxxing At The Mic?

If you don’t already know, consider yourself notified of the newest litigation against the perpetually embattled City of Nashua.  You can read all about it in the Institute for Free Speech’s statement.  Click here to get all the details, including a copy of the complaint.  If you’re not one to click on links, I’ll give … Read more

SMITH: Pappas Snubbing Female State Senators?

Remember the geometry teacher saying that 3 points determine a plane and 2 points determine a line?  It’s ok if you don’t, but do 2 occurrences of the same behavior determine a pattern?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  I’m not talking about a serial killer, but a serial snubber and that’s Christopher Charles Pappas(CCP).  I gave him … Read more

Neon vacancy sign

SMITH: The Filling Of School Board Vacancies

On 11/5/19, the local useful idiots came out in droves to do the NTU’s bidding.  Among those deeds were reinstalling Alderman Dowd and the mayor, ousting Howard Coffman and Doris from the school board, and passing a ballot question that removed every private citizen’s right to vote by way of abolishing special elections.  The elimination … Read more
