Oppose Deceptive Abortion Statistics Amendment (SB 36) to HB 712!

July 9, 2025June 18, 2025 Cornerstone Action

HB 712, a great bill which would prohibit breast surgery for minors, was unfortunately amended by the Senate last week to include text copied from SB 36. This was an abortion statistics bill which Cornerstone opposed and many other pro-lifers due to its origin from Planned Parenthood requests. It was appropriately retained by the House … Read more

Smith: Who Is Kimberly Conway Hester?

May 24, 2025 Julie Smith

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

May 18, 2025 Julie Smith

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”

May 15, 2025 Julie Smith

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

Scaer: Tell the NH Senate to Defund the Office of the Child Advocate

May 11, 2025 Beth Scaer

Cassandra Sanchez and Lissa Mascio from the NH Office of the Child Advocate testified in opposition to HB10, a parental bill of rights, in the Senate Education Committee on April 1. They said some things I am seriously troubled by that I’m afraid weren’t noticed by the senators on the committee. Here is an excerpt … Read more

Smith: Senator Denise Ricciardi Is Recognized

May 10, 2025May 10, 2025 Julie Smith

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

An Open Letter to Senate Commerce Members

April 2, 2025 Julie Smith

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

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

March 10, 2025 Julie Smith

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

Fixing What’s Wrong With the New Hampshire Senate

July 10, 2024July 10, 2024 Julie Smith

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

July 7, 2024 Julie Smith

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.”

Is Her Highness Denise Ricciardi Entitled To That Senate Seat?

June 25, 2024June 24, 2024 Skip

And that we, the voters, aren’t entitled to make our choices known and to boot your arses out when you are no longer representing us? Nice display of condescension. Great display of Government vs its Subjects; “The peasants are revolting!”

Some Thoughts on Americans for Prosperity.

June 19, 2024June 18, 2024 Julie Smith

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.

May 27, 2024 Julie Smith

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. She sent me this 7-minute video about RTK warfare happening in NJ, and I decided to share it with the Senate Republicans, … Read more

Carson, Gannon & Abbas Need to be Primaried. Here’s Why.

April 22, 2024 Julie Smith

Let me start by saying something nice about all three Senate Judiciary Republicans. They’re all nice people and presumably decent people in their personal lives. I’ve had pleasant encounters with them, some leading to pleasant talk, sometimes more than once.

Who is Maya Harvey?

March 9, 2023 Op-Ed

I met Maya on September 7, 2021, at the Bedford polls while Linda Camarota’s special election was being stolen from her by way of same-day voting, but I digress already. My encounter with her was pleasant, and she gave me the business card that identified her as some GOP staffer.

Quick Thought: Why is NH Senate Staffer Maya Harvey Controlling the NH GOP Media Invites for Today?

January 28, 2023 Skip

Somebody just called asking if we, too, were not going to be at the NH GOP Annual Meeting where Trump is speaking, which had me asking, “what, you were denied as well?”.
