Comments for How the sausage is made on Jones Street | Eastern NC Now

Our election process relies completely on our faith in our institutions. Whether or not the election for the previous president was tampered with unfortunately is irrelevant at this point being it was certified by an elected congress. We must take care in not destroying the constitution in search of the justice of men.

From here on the losing party will always claim the election is rigged. Some claims may be true, but eventually all will lose faith in the system until the system collapses and this is the true goal.

To know the truth we know Satan holds the keys to the Governments and kingdoms of men, but God alone appoints the rulers thereof.

Consider the scriptures saying:

“ And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.

And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,

And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.

But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.

And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.

Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.

And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king.

And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.

And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.

And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.

And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.

And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.

And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.

He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day.

Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;”

The power plays and cronyism of our "legislative leadership" in Raleigh, both Berger in the Senate and Moore in the House are a disgrace to Republican voters. They put their own personl power and doing favors for the special interests ahead of working for Republican principles. With Moore leaving, we have a chance to change that in the House and put respect for principle back into part of the legislature. The choice for the new Speaker is between special interest fixer Destin Hall, supported by the RINOs, and Freedom Caucus chairman Keith Kidwell, supported by the conservatives. A Kidwell speakership will be a refreshing new day in the House where principle will trump cronyism. Destin Hall is just a warmed over Tim Moore or a warmed over Thom Tillis.
