On May 2nd, a bunch of GOP Reps failed to show up for work. On the day that Kelly Ayotte’s signature issue, illegal immigration, was up for a vote. The bill, HB 563 LOST by eleven votes. Eight “GOP” Reps voted with the DemocratsWoke-Communists to allow sanctuary-cities, while eleven GOP failed to show up (versus seven DemocratWoke-Communist no-shows).
Here is a good one: Ross Berry criticizes union leadership on X for not representing union workers. The irony apparently escapes Berry. Berry and his fellow Republican “leaders,” Jason Osborne, Joe Sweeney, etc., do NOT represent Republicans.
If you want to understand why NHGOP House “leadership” believes it can ignore the priorities of actual GOP voters while instead pushing their decidedly non-GOP agenda … an obsession with legalizing marijuana, outlawing single-family zoning, increasing urban density, and catering to the rich and the elites (e.g., ending interest-and-dividends tax) while ignoring working people (no … Read more
You bought a home in a single-family-zoned neighborhood precisely because it was zoned single-family. Then, some supposed “Republican” State Reps joined forces with the Democrats to outlaw single-family zoning throughout New Hampshire—the one-size-fits-all, big-government solution that Republicans supposedly oppose.
One of the many, many, many criticisms of Ron DeSantis’ disaster-of-a-campaign was that his social media “influencers” were obnoxious. This critique was spot on in New Hampshire. The three that I found particularly obnoxious were/are Jason Osborne, Ross Berry, and Melissa Blasek.
Jason Osborne … the LEADER of the House-NHGOP … has endorsed Ron DeSantis, as have many of his minions. What’s curious, however, is that Osborne and his minions appear to NOT have the same priorities as DeSantis. A recent article in the Federalist details the recent accomplishments of Republicans in Florida … accomplishments that are … Read more
Not ONCE, since the votes were taken have I seen anything even closely relating to what Kevin Landrigan of the Union Leader (and certainly nothing like what we’ve been writing about) in naming names?
Jason Osborne still does NOT understand why the NHGOP in particular … and the GOP generally … performed so abysmally in 2022. His thinking is STUCK in the 90s, or maybe the 80s or 70s. He believes that voters only think about the “top-of-the-ticket” and then fill in the same Party as their top-of-the-ticket choice … Read more
So PresidentTrump recently released a list of 51 NHGOP State Reps who have endorsed him. In response, Governor DeSantis’ campaign arranged for Majority Leader Jason “Legalize It” Osborne to release an endorsement of DeSantis. 51 to one, you say? Not so fast. Per the NHGOP Establishment, Osborne’s endorsement “matters,” which obviously implies that the endorsements … Read more
The RSA 91:A demand for the legislative emails for all members of Belknap County went out Sunday (two days ago), and I got the notification of their receipt from James Cianci, the NH House Legal Counsel, yesterday.
Trust – such an ephemeral thing. Now, I did include Speaker Packard on a previous email concerning a Right To Know. Didn’t hear back. So I’m making it more explicit in now both of the Republican Leaders are now responsible for Following The Law act accordingly. After all, they can instruct the proper IT people … Read more
This was a close call. Let’s start with the runner-up … poor, poor, pitiful Chuck Morse. For a while, it looked like the political stars were going to align perfectly for Chuck.
Adam Trump-Voters-Are-White-Supremacists Sexton tweeted out parts of interviews he did with the leaders of the House Democrats and the House Republicans. The difference is stark and helps explain why the GOP performed so miserably in the 2022 midterms.
I have been under the impression that the New Hampshire Republican Party’s platform says that life begins at conception. I went to the website nh.gop to verify that because in light of the recent Dobbs decision overturning Roe and Casey, a Party that says it is opposed to abortion AND that has legislative majorities and also controls the Governor’s office should be expected to hold a special session to outlaw or at least further restrict abortions.
As the 2021-2022 legislative sessions come to an end, some Republicans are patting themselves on the back for outstanding performance. Not so fast! Under Speaker Sherman Packard and House Majority Leader Jason Osborne, the NH House failed the fundamental building block of our state and our nation.
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE legislature has a proud tradition that every bill introduced receives a public hearing and gets an up or down vote by the full House.
Upon the news that President Asterisk and the self-appointed Ambassadors from the Federal Government to New Hampshire known as Jeanne “Granny” Shaheen, Maggie “The Red” Hassan, Annie “Let me attach myself to AOC” Kuster, and Chris “I smile a lot, don’t I?” Pappas) support the IRS data mining our personal banking accounts over $600.
Here is the headline from NHGOP mouthpiece New Hampshire Journal: Sununu, NHGOP Speak Out Against Biden’s Vax Mandate, NHDems Silent. That will show them! The NHGOP has “spoken out.”
By now, you are probably aware of Joe Biden’s impending vaccine mandates. He even went so far as to say he has been patient with the unvaccinated and all the trouble they are causing (paraphrased). It’s time to get jabbed.
Call your state senator and ask them to keep the promises they’ve made; thank those representatives in the Freedom Caucus who stood firm to demand these changes.
