Writing in Travis O’Hara is a Huge mistake.

September 5, 2024 John Sellers

Travis O’Hara was on the Transportation Committee and quit or was asked to resign. O’Hara missed 308 votes of the 480 that were recorded because he was absent from sessions. He also voted 31 times against leadership, meaning he voted against the Republican party values. THAT IS NOT REPRESENTATION!!! We want to thank Rep.John Sellers for … Read more

Mike Bordes Pimps Travis O’Hara’s “Attendance” as Reason to Vote for Him?

September 1, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Neither Mike Bordes nor Travis O’Hara should be allowed to go back to Concord, and while they’d be better than most Democrats, you’d actually have to show up for that to work, which makes this rather amusing. Bordes wrote an Op-Ed for the Laconia Daily Sun, pimping O’Hara as prepared and present for County Delegation … Read more

Bad Start: “New” ‘Republican’ Matt Coker, Has Lunch with a Union Lobbyist, and Three Lousy ‘republicans.’

February 8, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Fresh from his transition from Democrat to Republican, Matt Coker (who changed parties before lunch) was spotted having lunch with Labor Union lobbyist (AFL-CIO NH President) Glenn Brackett and notoriously small ‘r’ Republicans Mike Bordes, Doug Trottier, and Travis O’Hara.

A Few More Thoughts for Republicans On HB1002 and What, Exactly, Do You Mean By Extremist, Rep. O’Hara?

February 4, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Travis O’Hara isn’t technically a bad Republican vote. If and when he shows up (not showing up for crucial votes is certainly bad), his HRA score for 2023 was a hair over 90%. You judge what that means, but as you do, please also consider his ready embrace of progressive language.

HB1002, Right to Know, and The Pile of (His Own) S***! Rep. Travis O’Hara Just Stepped In …

February 2, 2024February 2, 2024 Steve MacDonald

HB1002, as passed by the New Hampshire House, would allow unprincipled municipalities to turn requests for public documents into a revenue stream. It passed the NH House yesterday, after which (at least) two things happened.

RINO Report – Belknap County

July 5, 2023 Op-Ed

For someone who analyzes voting records, it is sad to see how Belknap has changed. For the last decade, the Belknap delegation (the group of State Reps from Belknap) has had the best voting record of all counties.

The NH Legislative Ethics Commission Results Are In … Round 2?

July 1, 2023 Skip

So the last iteration in this series was the NH Legislative Ethics Commission whitewashing the breaking of the Law after they confirmed that the three defendants, Harry Bean, Travis O’Hare, and He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named (because of the NHLEC Confidentiality rules), Voldemort. They all pleaded akin to: Pleading ignorance of the Law gets you a pass. Unlike the … Read more

The NH Legislative Ethics Commission Results Are In … And Guess What?

June 28, 2023 Skip

I want you to think back to the days of “Tom Sawyer” and one of his greatest pranks performed on his friends. Burdened with a chore for skipping school, Tom comes up with an ingenious way to get out of it.

May 26, 2023 Skip

The hearing before the NH Legislative Ethics Committee is today at 1:30 pm in Room 104 of the Legislative Office Building. This is my brief testimony before the Committee (I only have a scant few minutes to speak).

What Will His Ardent State Rep “Anti Parental Rights Bill” Supporters Do Now That Sununu “Supports” SB272?

May 7, 2023 Skip

“Spank’em when they’re wrong but thank’em when they do right.” So yes, I have to be nice to NH Governor Chris Sununu (on a preliminary basis – the NH House hasn’t voted on SB272 yet but has passed the Senate) on this news:

Dan Wolf, Mike Bordes, Travis O’Hara & Mark Proulx – Karl Marx Would Be Pleased With Your Vote

March 24, 2023March 24, 2023 Op-Ed

By voting for HB 10 you have not only betrayed the Republican Party, you have betrayed a basic tenet of Americanism. By joining with the Democrats to defeat the Parent Bill of Rights bill, you have joined with the Marxist who seek to destroy everything decent about our nation.

Daily Sun Has an Article on Belknap County Sheriff Bill Wright and It’s Not a Flattering One.

March 16, 2023March 16, 2023 Skip

Now, I don’t have any dog in this fight but the Daily Sun doesn’t go after most elected officials (the Gunstock Incident excepted and they did kinda pick sides). I read the article and I have no insight or expertise on Human Resource so I’m not going to comment on the thrust of what reporter … Read more

Citizens For Belknap - there I fixed it for you #1

It Is as I Foretold: The “Non-partisan” but Democrat Founded & Run Citizens for Belknap PAC Is Endorsing (Gasp!) Democrats over Republicans

October 11, 2022 Skip

Calling themselves “non-partisan” was always a ruse – simply camouflage for the end game and that end game is now here: November 8th’s General Elections. A loyal reader let me know that the Citizens for Belknap PAC is now endorsing extremist Democrats (and Republicans that support major Democrat issues) as only Democrats can be moderate. … Read more

OK, Another Bright Spot in Yesterday’s Primary Election – Hey, Brodie DeShaies!

September 15, 2022September 14, 2022 Skip

Yep, he of the poor voting/legislative record and union shill “laundering” that union PAC money to others. Getting endorsed by Democrats isn’t a good look either. And thus, the voters of Wolfeboro looked past him: Once again, not a great thing to be the third man in a two-man race. Yet another ambitious young politician … Read more

Common Sense Radio – What Is This “Citizens for Belknap” and Why You Should Hate Them. Willful Deceit Is Not Nice.

July 17, 2022 Skip

After all, they are trying to portray themselves as something they are not. Being led by Brian Biehl of the Socialist-leaning Open Democracy, this is supposed to be a “non-partisan” Political Action Group “with only the best interest of Belknap County residents at heart” (no, not a quote – it’s what they want you to … Read more

Gunstock Area Commission: Finally, the Elephant in the Room Is Addressed – Part 2

July 7, 2022 Skip

Yeah, late again. Seems to be par for the course, lately, for me. The first part of the July GAC meeting (6/23) is here and I promised that more was coming. Well, better late than never ESPECIALLY since a new legal report has come out and I’ll get that posted before I head down to … Read more

A Response to Drs. Hoffer, Shessler, and Chapman: How about Your Demand That Schools Break Trust with Parents over Their Children??

June 2, 2022June 1, 2022 Skip

The analogous situation to what you are advocating is to see a child and then, without saying a word to the Parent, whisk that child off to surgery for an hours, maybe a day long, procedure. And like the Florida case, return to the Parent and say “Sorry, she didn’t make it”, turn around and … Read more
