Smith: Don’t Let 2026 Be “2018 v.2.0”

Julie Smith

Mr Sylvia said, “The Senate is a place where good House bills go to die.” GM Hopf said, “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” A Granite Stater in a red community said, “Sadly, Republicans have been their own worst enemy … Read more

Why are Certain Groups being Granted Extraordinary Privileges?

Moira Ryan

The New Hampshire Senate held a hearing on HB 634. I was unable to attend, but I did submit my testimony. The New Hampshire House passed HB634, to repeal the New Hampshire Autism Council. This council used private citizens’ information by forcing the reporting of autism diagnoses and then used that to get grant funding. … Read more

Queen Sharon’s Crime Against Nashua, One Year Later

Julie Smith

April 18th, marks the anniversary of the day Queen Sharon placed her disregard for the Nashua citizenry on full display with her OTP move as Judiciary chair.  I know what you, the reader, might be thinking.  A few thoughts might be: “Resentment is a dubious luxury,” “free yourself and let it go,” or “it’s Easter, … Read more

Both Gun Confiscation Bills ‘Shot Down’

Kimberly Morin

From the Women’s Defense League On Thursday, March 13th, both chambers of the New Hampshire Legislature shot down gun confiscation bills. Both of the bills started out as the exact same legislation. There were a few amendments to the House bill, but those amendments actually made the bill even worse, with each amendment. Both bills were still gun confiscation … Read more

How Compromised is the NH Senate?

Julie Smith

The news of 2025’s perennial attempt to abolish the “sticker tax,” aka HB649 (ending annual passenger vehicles inspections), is good so far.  The House has voted in favor despite the failure of the House Transportation Committee to produce a proper recommendation. The committee did not recommend either pass or fail, which has happened to other … Read more

An Early Warning

Julie Smith

“Incoming!”  That’s what we hear on TV and in movies when the military unit is about to get shelled.  This article serves to warn Granite Staters of an impending NEW TAX if the House and the Corner Office fail to stop it.  Mr Sylvia told a Florida radio show host that the Senate is a … Read more

So, Your Online Testimony … Doesn’t Really Count

Steve MacDonald

A few days ago, we reported on what we thought was “an issue” with the New Hampshire legislature’s online reporting portal. The Granite State lets you “sign-in” to the legislature’s website to show support or opposition to a bill and even provide written testimony. This was adopted (presumably) because a lot of people can’t be … Read more

Should Some Online “Testimony” Be Dismissed – Yes!

Steve MacDonald

Not all that long ago, the Dover Dems outrage machine lost its hive mind (for a little bit) over Representative Ladd dismissing about 3500 online testimony oppositions to a Bill before the Education Committee. I saw it, thought he shouldn’t do that, and then ignored whatever happened after. Thankfully, it wasn’t just the Dover Dems; … Read more

Is Daryl Abbas the NH JW Carney?

Julie Smith

Do you remember JW Carney, the defense attorney that looks like Comrade Andru Volinsky and is known for his list of notorious clients?  When Mr Addison, killer of Officer Briggs, was recently in the news, I noticed Daryl Abbas appeared in this WMUR video sitting at his courtroom desk, presumably as a member of Addison’s … Read more

NH State Senator Ruth Ward

2023 Senate Education Hearing Videos Gone MIA

Julie Smith

Most readers already know what I think of our lame duck Senate quietly rubber-stamping the RTK tax (HB 1002) and advancing it to the Corner Office without any in-chamber discussion or roll call, but I’m here to discuss more of the upper chamber’s subversive antics. First, let’s look at today’s article on Ruth Ward by … Read more

Pot, RTK and Our Feckless Senate

Julie Smith

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.

Unicameral Versus Party List

Spike

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.

The Senate Passively and Collectively Voted for a New TAX

Julie Smith

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

Julie Smith

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.
