With the City of Washington's outrageous 28% property tax increase this year, getting rid of them entirely is a great idea. But for revenues, something else would have to be taxed, and the most likely thing there would be consumption through a sales tax or VAT. We also ought to have a cap on local taxes so grasping politicians like the Sadler regime do not clobber taxpayers the way they have this year.

NO politician currently in office in Washington city government should be returned to office. They all are complicit in the tax ripoff and they all need to GO. Lets clean house in Washington in November. The city manager who proposed this outrage also needs his walking papers. Throw the rascals OUT.

I am aghast that Democratic Socialists, and highly committed RINOs would vote for Gavin Newsome ... but they will.

Therefore, a clarion call to all of America's smartest citizens, please heed this call to do all you can to select the best self-government of the People intellectually possible.

Harboring illegal aliens is a felony under federal law. They need to start indicting Democrat politicians for it.

These three Washington City Council non incumbent challengers to the much maligned incumbents took the time to take the opportunity to answer 4 good important questions here on Table Talk.

These 3 challengers should be taken seriously.

I have to agree with the Old Man on majority of this; Beaufort County needs to set an example.

If I were an elected official, I would move to abolish the County's office of police-ing Tax Collection for the school board until a state audit was conducting to determine the extent of fraud and misappropriation of public funds.

There'd be hineyholes getting even tighter over 'air at Central Office.

If their appointment is signed by an autopen, is that a legal appointment?
There are ways to detect if it is the Pen or a handwritten signature.

Can anyone name a Democratic Socialist Mayor that is not intellectually challenged when it comes to never failing at doing what is obviously best for the People.

Roy Cooper was a big defender of this sick "transgender" nonsense of boys in the girls room in our state. But so was RINO Phil Berger.

If they can prove this in court, this felony will prove to be a huge deterrence to this abject evil of narcotics profiteering.

North Carolina Democrats are trying to do the same thing with supporting sanctuary counties and keeping the state from cooperating with ICE. Democrats in the legislature have been voting against bills to outlaw sanctuary counties, and both governors Roy Cooper and Josh Stein have kept state law enforcement from cooperating with ICE.

Democrat policy is to harbor illegal aliens in defiance of federal immigration law.

Here's what seafood lovers get with that imported shrimp that Berger wants to force on us. Shrimp from Indonesia has recently been recalled because it is RADIOACTIVE !

If this sticks, you're going to see tailholes start puckering. In prior conversations with a lawyers assistant who worked the Pitt County Confederate monument case for the SCV, he told me that they had observed a pattern of money coming to local governments from one of Cooper's offices that didn't really exist on paper. He said: "We can't PROVE anything yet but we have a good idea that Cooper was directing money to "elected" local officials who played ball. Give it time."

We're nearing that time.

DEI has to be defeated by both sides. THe good, the bad and the ugly has to be put on the table. Numbers and money don't lie when people's pocketbooks are effected by this joke of a system like DEI.
