Some folks should stay away from Social Media. Nashua Alderman and NH House Rep. Jan Schmidt, for example. It appears as if she is incapable of doing anything online without putting her foot in her mouth. A right to which she is entitled.
Andru Volinsky Uses Black Lives Matter for a Photo-Op – Here’s What Else it Means
New Hampshire Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky masked-up and virtue-signaled his way through Manchester the other day. He said something about George Floyd and Black Lives Matter. You mean the group whose co-founder said white Democrats use black people for photo-ops?
Keene to Consider a Mask Mandate That May Lead to More Infections, Other Health Issues
A Keene, New Hampshire city Councilor (at-Large Randy Filiault) says he will propose an ordinance requiring masks indoors in public places across the city. A move that the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) says, “may, paradoxically, lead to more transmission of Covid-19…”
If the Nashua Mask Ordinance is About Education You Are Teaching People a Lie
Is it possible that Nashua politicians know masks won’t do anything, but they want to yank your chain (virtue signal) and make you think they care and are protecting you? Or are they idiots who get their science from Trump-hating MSNBC talking heads?
“Old, Sick and Frail into the Lifeboats first”
Most of us have seen the movie “Titanic.” The story starts off with a beautiful new ship, off on its maiden voyage, with everyone in a grand state of revelry. All is elegant and wonderful until the ship hits the iceberg. At that point, all the women and children are loaded into the lifeboats, and … Read more
Alderman’s Husband Encourages Shoppers to Flee Nashua
The Nashua City Aldermen overwhelmingly voted to require masks when doing business or shopping in Nashua, with a penalty of up to $1,000 for violators, for the purpose of slowing the spread of COVID-19.
Victoria Sullivan: My Remarks to the Reopen NH Taskforce
I want to start by thanking Governor Sununu for his leadership during these unprecedented times. I also want to thank the members of the task force for their time and commitment to reopening NH.
Huge Majority Does Not Want Sununu to Extend NH’s State of Emergency (Poll is Still Open)
The Governor’s Emergency Order extension ends in a week. Are we done? Have we had enough? Or do you believe he should extend it for another three weeks? One day in, where do we stand?
“Nothing But Political Cowardice, No Matter Where You Look”
I have been continuously amused listening to the Boston AM radio talk jocks over the past few weeks (are you listening Howie Carr?). Banging their heads against their golden microphones seeking some sane rationalization for the continuing lockdowns in both MA and NH.
“That’s Big Government For You:” Racetrack Won’t Open After AG Threats
Under threat of the state’s attorney general, the Riverside Speedway in Northumberland will not open to the public this weekend, after having opened for business over Memorial Day. “[U]nfortunately, big government is going to win again,” Riverside Speedway said in a Facebook post. “[A]s a family, we have decided to sit this weekend, May 30, … Read more
So, What Does “Safe” Mean, Anyway?
We’ve heard a lot of talk about masks, social separation, constant washing of hands, etc. We’ve been told that these extra “protective measures” are needed “until it’s safe.”
Jan Schmidt, Benevolent Dictator
I have been following Nashua Alderman, and NH State Rep, Jan Schmidt on social media and I’ve observed that she likes to portray herself as a benevolent dictator showing her love and concern for her subjects.
Nepotism in the City of Nashua
The City of Nashua has a little known and unenforced anti-nepotism policy. It exists, presumably, to keep spouses and relatives out of the same departments and to prevent family members from managing family members. A policy to prevent or eliminate favoritism, and essential to ensure fair employment practices.
Democrat Jan Schmidt is a Bigger Threat to You Than this Virus (And she’s not Alone)
I’m confident when I say, there must be an email that went out to Democrats quoting the State Constitution. Years ago. Use “this” to justify your creeping tyranny. Or, in the case of Alderman (and NH House Rep) Jan Schmidt, it may be the only part of the document she needs to know.
Nashua Anti-Mask Mandate Protest: Fewer Masks. More Hugs.
On short notice, about 50 people gathered in the plaza in front of Nashua City Hall to protest the ordinance passed 9-3 by the Nashua Board of Aldermen that requires masks to be worn in all businesses in the city to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Democrats are More Likely to Snitch on Their Neighbors Than Republicans
If you are looking for one of those water-is-wet, sky-is-blue comparisons, these survey results are for you. Rasmussen asked if you would report your neighbors for holding social gatherings in violation of coronavirus emergency orders.
St. Anselm prof: It’s Cruel to Stop Men from Competing in Women’s Sports
St. Anselm College professor Loretta Brady submitted testimony in opposition to both HB1251, the NH House Save Women’s Sports bill, and SB480, the NH Senate Save Women’s Sports bill. Both bills aim to ban the participation of biological males in female-designated public school sports in New Hampshire.
Some Steps to Reduce Voter Fraud
If we really want to have the voter registration laws in New Hampshire mean something as far as ballot integrity, this writer humbly suggests the following steps as solutions: Eliminate same-day registration. Cause the voter checklists to be “closed” a reasonable time before each election, say 30 days or 60 days, after which if you … Read more
Nashua Mask Edict: A Tyranny Imposed For The “Good” Of Its Victims
Recently, the CDC issued a mask recommendation. They’ve been wrong about many things regarding COVID so far, but I’ll credit them for continuing to try. I’ll take their advice under advisement.
Nashua’s Politicians are Using the Coronavirus to Advance their Own Political Agendas
Everyone knows that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives, at least temporarily. This includes how we, the public, participate in local politics. With the pandemic-induced changes to how local politics works, I am a little concerned about the health of public participation during these unusual times.
