Berger was prostituting for the special interests connected to communist China in trying to destroy our local shrimp harvesting industry. They are the major competitor of North Carolina shrimpers. The "County Compass" just identified a major importer of frozen Chinese shrimp that is massively expanding their Norfolk, VA importation facilities focused on shrimp. This is who expects to get the shrimp business when they shut down our local shrimpers. They likely provided the dirty political payola to the thoroughly corrupp Phil Berger to push this dirty political attack on North Carolina commercial fishermen.

Real Republicans need to take this phony Phil Berger, an Undocumented Democrat, out in the primary. Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page is challenging him and actually leading by double digits over Berger in the polls.

Seems like a scam to me.
If you have Optimum cable TV, ch 35 is a Greenville Utilities sponsorship of announcements and area weather forecasts.
They tell us that Gville is building a solar farm and citizens can adopt solar panels. There are some up front fees... I think $35 each, and some monthly fees. But when all is said and done the monthly ongoing cost to you is abt $5 per panel u adopt. They joyfully try to sell it to the woke, who they say can enjoy participating in solar energy programs to save the planet. I cant believe they are doing this with a straight face. I wonder how many virtue-signalers sign up to send the electric company an extra $5 a month.

This is what a real president looks like, working diligently for the real American People, those who are the Good People of this Representative Republic.

Unbelievably, there is a Democratic Socialist push back over the feckless DEI argument that DEI is even real.

"Fourth Reich" sounds about right for the way these globalists are behaving in Germany. Globalism is to the 21st century what fascism was to the 20th and communism to the 19th and 20th.

This wind and solar scam is a threat to our energy security. It is good that Trump is going after it, but we have to remember that our RINO US Senator "Traitor Thom" Tillis is pushing as hard as he can against Trump and for the scam. Tillis needs to be put our to pasture in the 2026 primary.

Countrygirl1411: The thing is here, it may be an option for the Trump administration whether to pay any attention whatsoever to any these future rogue Non Patriot Leftist Judges.

For every car stolen in Denver the democrats there need to be charged as accessory to the theft along with aiding and abetting illegal invaders.

Not going to hold my breath on these so called judges listening to or obeying what the Supreme Court rules.

The Green Initiative is an issue that must be taken away from the Disingenuous Left /Non Patriot Left, and the Conservatives, who are intellectually better capable of conserving the environment, must lead the way in helping all good people in knowing that stewardship begins with the individual.

There are a lot of Democrat politicians who need to be arrested for harboring illegal aliens.

Washingtonian: You may be right; I tend to wax optimistic.

But now that I am older, wiser, I tend know who the bad players are, and why I must do all I can to supplant them with their betters; those who would steer US away from Waste, Fraud and Abuse.

IF I had to use one word to describe Stan, it would be "optimistic."
If I could use two words, it would be "overly optimistic."
IMHO :-)

Office of Inspector General, EPA

FRAUD is a false representation abt a material fact. Its any intentional deception designed to unlawfully deprive th USA/EPA/CSB of somethin of value or to secure 4 an individual a benefit,privilege,allowance or consideration tht he's not entitled.

WASTE involves taxpayers not receivin a reasonable value for $$ in connection w a govt-funded activity due to an inappropriate act/omission. Most waste does not involve a violation of law.Its primarily due to mismanagemnt,inappropriate actions & inadequate oversight.

ABUSE involves behavior thats deficient/improper when compared w behavior tht a prudent person would consider reasonable&necessary business practice given facts&circumstances.It also includes misuse of authority 4personal financial interests or those of a close relative/associate.Abuse doesnt always involve a crime.

Washingtonian: What you are saying is a bit pessimistic; however, there is a large measure of truth in what you profess here.

On the optimistic side, I am seeing a sea change in politics /government. The "Bully Government" is beginning to lose, and will continue to lose as more of US can gain and hold office.

A note here to the "Bully Government" of Waste, Fraud and Abuse: Be careful; you have more liability than you might realize.

WeThePple dont have any rights, we just think we do.
If a person has to hire an expensive attorney to enforce one's rights, then basically, as I said, We have no rights.

Its like the bully on the playground who says "make me." The smaller one cant!

Every bully Govt knows this. If you try to make that bully govt see you, it will find ways to get revenge. Just as they maligned Trump, they might label a citizen in a small town, a grumbling "troublemaker." The word gets around in all circles.

Hopefully with the new Voter ID requirement, a handful of cheaters cant change an entire election result.

BCCitizen: And as much as local governments wastefully spend, there is plenty of low hanging fruit to cut that waste aplenty, if we had the right politicians ... Just far too many Fake Republicans ... Wakeup citizens, or you will lose even what governments you might believe you have left to correct.

Any time government takes something that has always been paid for out of tax revenue, as they did with trash pickup and storm water, and suddenly call it a fee, that is nothing but a dishonest shell game so they can lie that they did not raise taxes. We have a very very dishonest city government and it has been that way for too long. They will not play straight with the citizens and taxpayers.

The partisan abuse of power by this Harry Reid holdover Senate parliamentarian just keeps getting worse and more blatantly partisan. This is the same woman who let Democrats stuff a "reconciliation" bill under Biden dubbed the "Inflation Reduction Act" with all sorts of highly ideological climate alarmist boondoggles and pork.

There is problem not time to remove her but she can be overruled by the Senate. Cowardly useless wimp John Thune refuses to do that. As soon as possible this despicable partisan witch needs a pink slip but wimp Thune will probably not do that either. He is just as utterly useless as Mitch McConnell.

John, their sales and services (pay as you use) accounts for 1.8 million. property taxes account for 7.5 million. Think about how much more taxes would have to be raised to increase the ad valorem tax revenue by 1.8 million. That's not minor. I agree with everyone up here that the taxes are outrageous, the admin charge from enterprise funds is insane, and storm water fees, trash pickup fees, and other charges can be a way to "tax" the property owner more. But not all governmental revenues are taxes.
