Why No Committee to Investigate His Excellency?

November 20, 2024 Julie Smith

Tomorrow is November 19. It was a big day in NH 3 years ago and for 2 reasons. One of them was because it was the day Chuck Morse voted the wrong way on that covid money as a member of the committee serving as the very last firewall opportunity to block it. That was … Read more

Shame On Arielle Mitropoulos

October 19, 2024 Julie Smith

Mr. Rabideau, my middle school photography teacher, often preached “halves and doubles” in lecturing about tweaking the F-stop and shutter speed.

Shame On Marissa Tansino

October 19, 2024October 19, 2024 Julie Smith

WMUR is, once again, doing what they do as the propaganda machine.

Most, if not all, readers must be familiar with that event, but it never ceases to amaze me that I still run into people who didn’t know about it.

I feel like a broken record in saying that criticism for one is not necessarily an endorsement for the other when discussing Chuck Morse and Kelly Ayotte, but keep in mind that the latter is a lawyer, after all.

If you did not know, charges were dropped against all the remaining defendants of the NH9 – the individuals targeted and arrested at an October 2021 Executive Council Meeting. And here’s something else you might not know. Things have gotten more interesting since then.

The Revenge of the NH9?
