Remember House Judiciary Vice Chair Scott Wallace? In case you need a refresher, he’s Senator Gannon’s House counterpart and constituent and fellow enemy of 91A. Now he has a new and personal reason to despise 91A because of pending charges against him that were filed after his primary loss and set to move forward in … Read more
Mr. Rabideau, my middle school photography teacher, often preached “halves and doubles” in lecturing about tweaking the F-stop and shutter speed. The institution of substitution was what his lesson was about. Take a different example from the grocery store junk food aisle. When some Sunshine or Nabisco product introduces a new version labeled as “reduced … Read more
WMUR is, once again, doing what they do as the propaganda machine. I already shamed Adam Sexton last month for playing Chris Wallace for Vikram, and now is a good moment to remind the readers that he is “on notice” as the Lily Tang Williams vs. Maggie Goodlander debate awaits us on October 31. However, … Read more
Today, 10/13/24, marks the 3rd anniversary of the infamous Executive Council arrests. Most, if not all, readers must be familiar with that event, but it never ceases to amaze me that I still run into people who didn’t know about it. There was plenty of coverage, the wrong kind, to be found then and now, … Read more
The legislative season officially ended yesterday with Veto Day. While the Damn Emperor most unfortunately signed HB 1002 (aka the RTK Tax) on June 14, I’m here to take a look at which of the 88 bad actors displaying the R also stayed rogue for HB 1093 (school mask policy) and HB 396 (women’s safe … Read more
You’re looking at the menu, and there are just two choices. It’s beef and chicken, but you’re a vegetarian. You don’t want to starve, but what do you do? We’ve recently heard from two intelligent and very respectable people, Doris and Jose. Many of us are or were already familiar with the merits of their … Read more
Today is a good day to revisit my previous article about Formella because the dropping of charges against the Elbit vandals had to have been approved by him, either actively or passively. Either way, it’s happening on his watch as the ship’s captain. NH Journal posted, “Formella’s office did not respond to a request for … Read more
Back in the days of “Alderman Jan,” when I was still on FB and Nashua had zero representation in any legislative body, Beth Scaer authored a survey in one of the local groups, either Nashua Politics or Nashua Scoop. It was a multiple-choice question, and it asked something like this: So you don’t like your … Read more
The primary results are in, the Unity Breakfast came and went, and it’s onward to November. The OTHER district “made nice” and one of the people that I hoped would win that race, Hollie, made this tweet with a group picture of all the viable candidates. One of her fellow losing candidates, whom I would … Read more
Let’s talk about GOP money for federal office campaigns. 2024 is not a senatorial year, so that simplifies the discussion. There are two seats in the House, each representing 50% of Granite Staters. One would think that the pie is divided evenly, and the two pieces would go to Lily Tang Williams and Councilor Russell Prescott, … Read more
In my recent article shaming Adam Sexton, his last question of the 3 viable candidates in the WMUR debate was, “How do you lower the political temperature in this country?” Vikram got to answer last, and he said, “Look, I think we just need to unify…” (followed by name-dropping attacks on both his opponents). He … Read more
Let’s first get a housekeeping item out of the way. Any opinion said, is mine and just that, because I am not a spokesperson for Lily Tang Williams, just an ordinary volunteer. I don’t remember who said it, but last winter, someone called the anti Trumpers a bunch of people having the adult version of … Read more
Most readers already know, at the federal level, which national media personalities are NOT desirable choices for moderating presidential debates. It’s also well known that the participating candidates are to agree upon the format and other details prior to the event. They often “do a walk-through” at the studio or other event site to iron … Read more
Way back when Rep. Ben Ming first took possession of Sue Homola’s seat in the NH House, he wasted no time in deploying woke identity politics. When he bragged in a tweet that he’s the first Asian to have a seat in the House, I replied that I voted for who would have been the … Read more
By now, most readers know that I’m all about right-to-know and have discussed the records of misguided Rs that voted the wrong way on HB 1002’s most recent roll call. As mentioned in Spike’s recent article, I’ve “gone scorched earth” on groups giving high marks to enemies of 91A. On a personal note, my first … Read more
If you care about children, Medicaid and the economy, you won’t be voting for John Stephen for the Executive Council. Mr. Stephen was head of DHHS when extreme child abuse was taking place at the Youth Detention Center (YDC) and in other state youth facilities. The taxpayers are now on the hook for damages from … Read more
Another special interest group, Citizens Alliance, has released a legislative scorecard today. Like others that the Grokster known as “Spike” has said I’ve “gone scorched earth on,” this group is no different. There are 68 reps in their “good standing” category. Of those 68, 18 are enemies of 91A. Without further delay, here they are: … Read more
Though I’m neither a resident nor a paid member, I wound up on the Rockingham County Republican Committee (RCRC) email list some time ago after buying a raffle ticket. It’s important to mention that this Candidate’s forum was scheduled weeks ago, with more than one announcement or notice. At 12:25 pm on Wednesday, the RCRC … Read more
“Housing” has been quite the buzzword for the past few years, so much so that I often roll my eyes and shake my head, depending on whose mouth I hear it from. There is a gentleman in a western suburb that I will call “J.” He was all over SB 400 two years ago and … Read more
I am NOT a fan of our Speaker. I’ve criticized many committee assignments here and called him the captain of a ship of uniparty corruption. I am also developing a pattern of writing commentaries on NH Journal articles. The featured piece for this one is their story of House leadership’s ousting of Emily Phillips from … Read more
