MACDONALD: Donchess Can’t Fly Gay Flags on His Pole

To be clear, the flying of gay flags is not prohibited in the city of Nashua, but a recent settlement has put the city’s citizen flagpole six feet under. Viewpoint discrimination, as it turns out, is unconstitutional in Nashua, too. There is no Nashua Exception, and if the hyper-partisan Mayor can’t limit use of his … 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

BEST: Dear NHCADSV

An Open Letter to the NHCADSV in response to their FB Post on the Murder of Sandra Marisol Fuentes Huarache Your Facebook post alleging concern over Sandra Marisol Feuntes Huaracha’s murder is fickle.  You’ve sat on countless pointless “task forces” ordered by Governor after Governor, AG after AG and the unfortunate truth is that these … Read more

BANFIELD: From SAU16/Exeter to SAU92/Hinsdale

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

MACDONALD: With Republicans Like These

Senate Republicans Use Preemption Law Fix to Make Matters Worse.
