SMITH: Our Senate Circling the Wagons

It has recently come to the attention of many members of our legislature that a big national war chest has been made available to the enemy camp in Concord.  Many members have already taken to social media with requests for donations to (committees to elect) Team Red in both chambers and campaign coffers of their … Read more

Seante Judiciary Committee

SMITH: What Has Senate Judiciary Done For You Lately?

Remember that Janet Jackson song What Have You Done For Me Lately?  It’s a tune from my teenage years that comes to mind when I think of our Senate Judiciary committee, the body that rubber-stamped HB1002 last year during Queen Sharon’s (committee) leadership and also got that judge-retirement-age question on the ballot.  Yeah, we’ve had … Read more

Smith: Who Is Kimberly Conway Hester?

Rev Kimberly Conway Hester had gone dormant in my mind for the past few years until today!  More on today in a moment, but I will start with a secular answer to the titled question, asking who she is.  Hester is a masker and was featured on WMUR in August 2021, pushing for Mask Madness … Read more

Smith: Regina Birdsell Works For Us, Please Remind Her

Many readers already know, but if you’re late for dinner, I’ll tell you now.  HB361 was on the Senate Consent Calendar and should have been a smooth sail through the body yesterday, but Regina the Masker had to put a monkey wrench into the process.  This is NOT the first time she has killed or … Read more

Smith: Call Tara Reardon “Mrs Soprano”

Let’s get the “say something nice” part out of the way before the attack.  I met Community Loan Fund lobbyist Tara Reardon on 2/15/23 after a Senate Executive Departments committee hearing for a trailer park bill.  She supported what I said into the mic and followed me out into the hall and introduced herself when … Read more

Smith: Senator Denise Ricciardi Is Recognized

If you watch enough hours of the Senate, it’s routine to hear Queen Sharon say, “Senator So and So is recognized for…”  You can fill in the blank with a comment, a question, a parliamentary inquiry, and a few other things.  Both sides of the aisle have talkers.  I call them motormouths when it’s Watters, … Read more

Vehicle inspection sticker

An Open Letter to Senate Commerce Members

As I’ve been closely following HB 649 (removing the requirement for physical safety inspections and on-board diagnostic tests for passenger vehicles…), I’ve been trying to rally up the troops at every step of the way. Part of me is concerned with coming off as a keyboard warrior or armchair activist, as I wrote four previous … Read more

Cash money bills

Will They Vote Your Will Or That of The Lobbyists Who ‘Pay’ Them?

Think of this installment as “Part 2” to my previous article asking if our Senate is compromised.  As HB649 makes its way to the Senate, I’ve already pointed out some “problem donors” and some of their disturbing amounts donated to Senate Transportation committee members and the Old Battle Axe, Queen Sharon (Carson). Let’s first look … Read more

Suppose for a moment that you, the reader, live in the most corrupt and bluest city, and there are a handful of tireless truth seekers who keep getting knocked down by city hall, its agencies, activists, and even the courts.  How fortunate you are if you have such people willing to use their time, money, skills, and peace of mind to keep on trying!

Future State Senator Emily Phillips

In 2022, JR tried to recruit me to primary my senator.  I won’t take the readers on a scenic side trip discussing the details of my multiple reasons for declining his request, but he did stroke my ego and I agreed to hear his 30 second ad on why I should say yes because I was flattered that he thought I was “senate material.”

Some Thoughts on Americans for Prosperity.

Many non-Dems* are at least somewhat familiar with Americans for Prosperity(AFP), which Ed Mosca refers to in his rightful disparaging of “Koch-bots” within the GOP.  I leave it to the readers to bring themselves up to speed on the Koch brothers and point out all their daily anti-Trump mailers sent in January before the Republican* presidential primary that Chris Ager refused to get closed to nonmembers.

An Open Letter to All 14 Senate Rs.

Readers should already be familiar with Paula Johnson, who has worn many hats in Nashua over the years, including alderman, state rep, school board, plaintiff, and ardent critic of the mayor and Jeb.
