I will start by sharing a video link for the readers to bookmark, though I don’t recommend wasting 98 minutes of your life listening to the insufferable drivel of the Nashua local swamp.

Miscellaneous Thoughts from Day 5 of Ortolano vs. City of Nashua
Before leaving for court Thursday morning, I submitted a mockery of Attorney Celia Leonard and provided a link to a Simon and Garfunkel song that mentions her name. This time, the song I will share is a few years older. In fact, it’s older than me, and it’s called The Cheater.
“Celia” is Breaking My Heart, and that of Lady Justice.
I never thought I would have an opportunity to name an article after my favorite Simon and Garfunkel song, but here we are. I am talking about Attorney Celia Leonard, locally known as Deputy Corporation Counsel, and a direct report to Attorney Bolton.
Was Sen. Reagan Recruited to Steal the Non-Establishment Vote? You Tell Me.
I was going to name this article Part 3 of The Case for Nurse Terese, but things often don’t go as planned, and such is life. And let it be known that Mr. (John) Stephen is still due some acknowledgment for why he is NOT the correct replacement for Ted Gatsas.
A Private Citizen Spectator’s Thoughts on Attorney Bolton’s Compensation.
With the Senate Judiciary hearing for the dastardly RTK Tax (HB 1002)scheduled for Tuesday and the remainder of Laurie Ortolano’s RTK suit against the City of Nashua set to resume on Wednesday, Attorney Bolton has been a squatter in my mind. I point readers unfamiliar with him to this video.
Dem State Sen. Flip Flops on Protecting Women’s Sports
If you look through the recent works of Ed Mosca, you will find him calling out a few of his local enemy camp reps. I’m here to request that he take those good skills to “the other side of the wall” and apply them to Manchester’s Swampiest. D’Allesandro needs no introduction, but those in need of a refresher profile of him can click here.
The Case for Nurse Terese, Part 2.
In my previous article, I discussed the earliest candidate slate members for the executive council seat being vacated by the retirement of Ted Gatsas. I elaborated on Ryan Terrell and have been asking some questions behind the scenes and even emailed Scanlan.
The Case for Nurse Terese (for Executive Council).
Sometimes, I choose a title, and that’s how it’s published. Sometimes, management alters it at its discretion. Sometimes, I submit a piece and call it “untitled,” thus letting the editor finish the job for me. There are a variety of reasons and one of them has to do with the enjoyment of pretending I’m Howie Carr or Ed Mosca, but today’s literary inspiration is Victor Davis Hanson.
New Cross Referenced List and Merrimack Reps.
Think of me as the guy who doesn’t always drink beer, but when he does, he prefers Dos Equis. It’s funny I should think of that because I am presently a paying customer in the new Mexican joint in the Bertucci’s building on Amherst Street, using their Wi-Fi hot spot because my former employer’s product is being a POS.
Night Cap: What Does The Stratford Fire have to do with the Worcester 6?
WMUR has been covering quite a few fires lately, including this one. https://www.wmur.com/article/stratford-fire-barn-no-injuries/60362376 Since the story is not very old, not much detail is available. However, one can adjust their searches of coverage of recent fires by dates, location, damages, victims, and media outlets and come up with a variety of data.
Garry Rayno is a Misinformation Spreader, Change my Mind!
Most Grok readers already know that In-Depth NH dot org is an enemy camp publication that routinely spews garbage op-eds, like this one, written by its “State House Bureau Chief,” Garry Rayno.
One Paddler’s Thoughts of Franklin’s Whitewater Park
Admittedly, I have not kept my knowledge current on the efforts to create a paddling park on the Winnipesaukee River in recent years, but recent Grok coverage and attention from the NH Journal stirred some thoughts and memories.
The Time to Donate to Lily Tang Williams is Right Now!
I’m sure the grapevine has reached all corners of NH and cyberspace with Annie Kuster’s retirement announcement earlier today. I was at the state house and wearing my “Chuck Morse’s voting record matters” shirt when I received the news just before the executive council was called to order. Readers ought to be familiar with his 11/19/21 crime against NH.
Chuck “Backs the Blue,” But Will he “Weaponize the Green?”
I feel like a broken record in saying that criticism for one is not necessarily an endorsement for the other when discussing Chuck Morse and Kelly Ayotte, but keep in mind that the latter is a lawyer, after all.
Defund the Police (Chief)!
That’s right, I said that. If the Hollis Police Chief doesn’t care to serve and protect Hollis until the moment of his upcoming retirement, I say that his retirement should be defunded. Chief Hoebeke appears(looks and acts) like his Merrimack counterpart, Chief Levesque.
A Self-Interested Political Stunt That Doesn’t Have To Be
Adam Montgomery certainly made for much water cooler talk, reaching beyond state lines as a high-profile defendant and convict. I know of nobody who disagrees that he’s a bad person deserving of punishment. With regard to philosophy, science, and spirituality, much talk can be had by experts and laypeople regarding his future, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about.
Republican Enemies of Transparency
I’m going to call a spade a spade. There will be no sugarcoating and no special treatment for any reps that I once liked and respected, so let’s get started. Consider me the National Transportation Safety Board examining the wreckage.
Riddle Me This: What Do Jan Schmidt and Kelly Ayotte Have in Common?
Let me start with a routine disclaimer that criticism of Kelly Ayotte is NOT an endorsement of Chuck Morse. Never forget what he did on 11/19/21. With that said, I have a few observations about Kelly that I’d like to share, and I’ll get to Jan in a moment.
“Community Power” and “Vax Bills!” – Did That Get Your Attention?
Now that I have your attention, you will soon know why I put those two topics in the same sentence, but you will have to keep reading.
Book Report: “Stop Lying about Education Savings Accounts”
When I learned that Ian Underwood’s latest book was available, I eagerly awaited an opportunity to buy it. An in-person sale that didn’t require excessive miles on my odometer. Today was the day because his wife had a table at an event in my zip code.
