I’m sure many people are hoping that I will let it go, but I won’t. 88 Rs voted to obstruct access to public records last spring by supporting the RTK tax, aka HB 1002. 22 of them are no longer in office and I’m pleased to say that one of those 22 is former Judiciary … Read more
Concord, NH – As the new legislative biennium begins, the New Hampshire-Israel Relations Caucus is proud to announce the election of Representatives James Spillane and Paul Berch as its co-chairs. The bipartisan and bicameral caucus, which plays a key role in promoting legislation to strengthen the relationship between New Hampshire and Israel, will be guided … Read more
If you missed the memo, NH Bulletin is run by States Newsroom, a well-funded, national progressive project to advance approved narratives. It is a quasi-moderate Potemkin online village trying to shoehorn “right-thinking” Leftism into the collective consciousness. They are also a place to look for low-hanging fruit. Here’s the headline: “What’s next for abortion laws … Read more
Today we learned that you are very lucky!!! I got re-elected for another 2 year term and will continue to write and report on House proceedings and let you all know what we learned along the way! We also learned that today was Organization Day in the NH House (and Senate)! That means that House … Read more
The House voted today on their speaker for the next two years, and Sherm Packard will retain the gavel. Rep. Kim Rice had mounted a challenge to his leadership for some pretty good reasons, which I have learned. There’s no point in getting into that now, but Packard remains the speaker, and his leadership team … Read more
Remember when Republican NH House Rep Shawn Jaspar made a deal with the Democrats to get the Speaker’s gavel? Not a Republican best-moment in House History. Well, guess what? Rep. Kim Rice has been meeting with Democrat minority leaders to get their votes to do something similar. I’m not sure what that deal looks like, but … Read more
RINOs are often the topic of much chatter in circles among the Grok readership, and here we are, just a few weeks after an election. On 9/29/21, future Rep Kelley Potenza called the Damn Emperor a “fake Republican” when Adam Sexton interviewed her at St A’s. Why do I keep referencing that sound byte? First, … Read more
The first of the LSRs are in and posted on NH dot gov. There were over 200 when I first looked and about a hundred more have been added when I revisited a day later. I suggest bookmarking this link in the same way you would use a real bookmark because there are usually over … Read more
Those unfamiliar with NH House Rep Jonah Wheeler need ot understand that he is a registered Democrat. A person of color. A young man who fulfills any number of Left-Wing victim class categories. He is also a Democrat who opposes allowing adults to mutilate children under the guise of it being what’s best for them. … Read more
The vote for Speaker of the New Hampshire House is Wednesday, November 13th. Len Turcotte is challenging the current speaker, Sherm Packard, for the gavel. Sherm is a nice guy (every time I’ve run into him), but we need Len Turcotte as the NH House Speaker. Len has a 100% NH House Republican Alliance Rating … Read more
Well, I was not expecting that number! I’ve been wondering what the final result was for the 400 member NH House of Representatives.
The House is the grand inquest of the state. It is entrusted to carry out investigations and impeachments as a body independent of the judicial and executive branches. House investigative committees have certain powers to carry out their investigations, including collecting sworn or unsworn testimony, utilizing subpoenas to demand the appearance of witnesses for testimony … Read more
On Veto Day, I addressed the New Hampshire House of Representatives one last time. I made a speech in favor of overriding the veto of HB1093, the bill prohibiting school boards from mandating mask-wearing. Last March, the House voted to pass this bill while the Senate did the same a few weeks afterwards, but it … 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

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
“I would be honored to earn your vote and put my vast military and civilian experience to work for you. I believe my professionalism, honesty, and common sense are just what we need right now, in Concord.” Dan is a military veteran with exemplary naval service. He was proud to serve tours on multiple nuclear … 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
First, let me say that Spec Bowers has a history of doing good work, and I praise that. However, I have some problems with his new piece called “The Good Guys.” I will get into that, but I first give public thanks to him for identifying some House primaries of interest and pointing out the … Read more
Greetings from Loudon! I am indeed running again for NH State Representative. Here’s a BLOG link to a brief bio. I love being at the State House and am very proud of my work there. In my very purple district, re-election is a challenge. I’m 3-3 in House races, and while .500 is a great baseball batting average, … Read more
