HB 1633 had its big day in the senate chamber and it was indeed a long one though Denise did not get to participate. More on that in a moment, but let it be known that what I have to say is neither pro-pot nor anti-pot, it’s about the senate’s ruling class’s priorities.

Last Chance: Contact the Senate Judiciary on Critical Bills!
It is highly likely that the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on two critical bills, HB 396 and HB 1607, tomorrow. Read on for more information on the bills and how you can help.
Unicameral Versus Party List
Julie Smith suggests on Thursday that New Hampshire follow Nebraska and have a single legislative chamber, presumably our lower House, and do away with the Senate.
ACTION ALERT – GUN CONTROL
From the Women’s Defense League: The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Inexpedient To Legislate on House Bill 1711 – the gun confiscation bill passed in the House thanks to a majority of gun control representatives. This bill will now be voted on by the entire NH Senate.
Hey NH, Let’s Go UNICAMERAL
Let me first thank Spike for mentioning my recent article in his article, which he finishes with noting that it’s “planting a small seed.” It inspired me to review one of my earliest articles, perhaps my 3rd, to also plant a small seed, and it received some comments that I either overlooked or were posted after I stopped looking.
Senate by Party List
Julie Smith wrote on Sunday a retrospective on Jeb Bradley’s career in the New Hampshire Senate — essentially, a place where “good House bills go to die.” It’s also a place where legislators go to retire. (So too Digital Equipment Corporation in its latter years.) Boston’s Howie Carr often quips that anyone who has been in a State House for six years has proven his uselessness.
The Senate Passively and Collectively Voted for a New TAX
Yes, that’s what I said and it’s the harsh and unpleasant truth, as truthful as saying that Melanie voted for an income tax. No member is exempt from blame so each one gets their rightful 1/24th, but some are definitely more deserving of rebuke than others, according to my report, but let’s first make it … Read more
Jeb’s Senate
By the time this reaches the readers, most people will have already known that Jeb announced his retirement, so calling this piece “Jeb’s Senate” is appropriate. Adam Sexton called Jeb the Architect of Medicaid expansion, which is NOT a moniker to be proud of, and the senate voted 24-0 for 2023’s SB 263, a Uniparty item, and Jeb is known for pushing their agenda.
Testimony: Vote HB1283 Inexpedient to Legislate
To the Members of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. All of the following phrases will seem familiar because they were all heard in the discussion of this bill during the past few weeks.
An Open Letter to Senate Rs that Haven’t (yet) Gone Rogue.
Greetings, Good Senators. April 18 was a sad day for transparency in NH and I am asking you to reject the Judiciary Committee’s recommendation and even consider saying “thank you, Mr President, I rise to oppose the recommendation and urge this body to vote ITL.”
HB1002 – Are We Punishing Everyone for The Behavior of a Few or Limiting Access to the Wealthy and Well-Connected? (Both!)
The Republican majority of the New Hampshire Legislature is on the verge of doing what Democrats do. Punish everyone for the alleged bad behavior of a few. Assuming the few are truly being cantankerous in their pursuit of public records. It is reminiscent of most, if not all, Left-Wing gun-grabbing legislation.
Yoga Humor and RTK Action Items.
Most of us have at least a rudimentary familiarity with yoga, either as a practitioner or someone who knows one. You can confirm that lots of poses are named after animals. To all Granite State yogis and yoginis, I present the “Hilliard Position.” Stay with me here.
Don’t Force Taxpayers to Fund Irreversible Surgeries for Gender-Confused Kids
On April 17, I testified to the NH Senate HHS Committee in favor of Rep. Jim Kofalt’s bill HB1660 which would ban using Medicaid to pay for gender reassignment surgery for kids. Rep. Kofalt and I were the only two to testify in favor of the bill. Not forcing taxpayers to fund irreversible surgeries for gender-confused kids is the least the NH legislature can do to protect children.
URGENT – EXTREMELY IMPORTANT GUN CONTROL HEARING
From the Women’s Defense League: The MOST important gun control hearing of the year will be coming up next week in the New Hampshire Senate Judiciary Committee.
Action Alert: Ask Your State Senator to Oppose SB459 Today!
Families and kids need your help in stopping this bad bill, and your opposition to it must be made known by Wednesday night, 04/03/2024, at the latest.
Is Sen. Regina Birdsell Part of the Covid Cult? You Decide.
Shane Sirois, a rep from the lovely red town of New Ipswich, emailed me, identifying himself as a member of the Vax Injury Caucus. He was putting out an all-hands-on-deck call for action because SB 319 had a hearing in the Senate HHS committee on 1/10/24. Like I’ve said before, Nashua owes red towns its gratitude for serving us unserved folks in the House.
A Bill To Protect Citizen’s Sexuality From Abuse and Negligence by Their Doctors
I have one purpose in writing this article: as a former trial attorney, I believe that it is a fundamental right of every man, woman, and child to seek Justice in our courts for legally recognized wrongs that they feel have damaged them.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (06/08/23)?
We learned that Republican attendance still put them in the minority today as compared to the Democrat caucus. With 8 Republican members out, and 4 on the Dem side, it put the numbers around 191D-187R in the morning and hovering around 188D-182R later in the day. It is the reason some nanny state bills passed … Read more
