More large multinational companies over talented tradesmen and manufacturing coming to a small town near you very soon. The quiet takeover funneled into the flow of ideas, images, and symbols, including state ideologies and counter-ideologies still on the US dime. Everyone is wanting to be smarter, but ends up too stupid to see it.

Good for the Polish court! Those EU climate alarmist laws give expensive and unreliable electricity. They were responsible for the recent nationwide blackouts in Spain and Portugal, as well as huge electric rate increases all over Europe. What North Carolina should be concerned about is that the actions of RINOs Phil Berger and Tim Moore in passing NC's own Green New Deal, HB951, North Carolinians will be popped harder for this nonsense than Europeans.

For some unknown reason, my stream of thought process renders unto me the well balanced concept of imposing the death penalty as a resolution for those individuals that commit the crime of organizing large sums of resources to create Fentanyl, and then use their organized cartel to distribute that deadly product for public consumption here in the USA.

Ray, this convention had some definite pluses. One important one was stopping the Plan of Organization rewrite that would have increased control from the top, going against our tradition as a grassroots party. Interestingly, that proposal drew not only almost total opposition from grassroots / conservative elements of the party but also from many considered more "establishment" types.

The staunchly conservative platform also passed without much of a fight. Additions this year to party positions included support for election of the state Board of Education by the citizens of the state, instead of appointment by the governor, opposition to central bank digital currency, and denouncing the attempts by the courts to invade the province of the executive and legislative branches.

The resolutions package which was conservative also passed intact. Unlike last year, establishment elements were not able to remove and discard some key conservative resolutions like medical freedom.

The main disappointment came in the chairman's race, where establishment incumbent Jason Simmons prevailed over grassroots challenger Brooke McGowan on the weighted vote by 52.5% to 47.5%. McGowan has a majority of delegates physically present. McGowan's campaign was hurt by mass email company ConstantComment taking her money but then refusing for frivolous reasons to send out her emails. She got a late start in the email campaign as a result of having to find another emailer at the last minute. She probably also would have done better if she had gotten out more in the way of the failures of the NCGOP in this last campaign under its current leadership and more details on how she planned to correct the problems.

For me, one of the biggest reasons we needed a change was the incompetent way the party's Judicial Campaign Fund was used which amounted to total political malpractice. If those funds had been used wisely, we would have elected conservative Jefferson Griffin to the Supreme Court instead of far left activist Allison Riggs, former co-director of the far left Southern Coalition for Social Justice.

George Soros has also been identified as being involved in the anti-Trump insurrection and even the British media is pointing that out.

The military event is for the 250th anniversary of the US Army, NOT for Trump's birthday as the MSM media falsely claims.

The anti-American Democrats are aiding and abetting this insurrection, as is the dishonest MSM media. I hope they can face criminal charges or at least civil liability for the damages. Also Mexico should be sued for its role. This is high treason by many Democrats.

With the arrogance of the Cheeseman bootlickers, it would not skrprise me if Richaland Township tried to join Pamlico County. Heck the Pamlico County Schools publicly offered to take in the students from Snowden, and I suspect many of the middle class students will take that offer, costing Beaufort County schools $10,000 each in lost state education funding. Our local governments just told Richland Twondship to bugger off.

Illegal alien migrants from the Third World mooch from every western society. They are parasites. If we would cut off their welfare except for a plane ticket home, most would depart. Our taxpayers should not be subsidizing these freeloaders.

Looters and arsonists in the LA insurrection should be shot on sight. This has to be ended.

Sometimes when you peel back the onion, you find the rot. Sometimes it is more than one onion. Sometimes you may find mold on the cheese. This whole debacle did not happen overnight. The school has been allowed to deteriorate over the last few years. New young move-ins look for the three S's, Schools, Service, and Safety. Without the first S they do not look any further.

Why do so many Democratic Socialist politicians have no sense of self-awareness.
