How does J.B. Pritzker get elected?

Such Frightening prospect for this Republic that this Fat Fool has any degree of governing responsibility.

We need one good strong candidate to take on Tillis in the primary, and Lara Trump would fit that bill. Whoever runs, we need them to get out from soon. Tillis needs to go. I understand Lara and her husband own a house here. She needs to move her registration soon. Lara Trump would be great. ANYBODY BUT TILLIS.

Labour and the Conservatives have been all talk and no DO on stopping illegal immigration. Border security is now a top issue for the British people and they are turning to the Reform Party to do something about it.

He supports open boarders and illegal invaders everywhere but the Vatican. Seems they have a huge wall surrounding the Vatican and secure door/gates that can be shut and armed guards to stop illegal invaders from entering.

In addition to the Antarctic, there has also been an increase in the sea ice in the Artic, which Al Gore and others claimed would be ice free by now. Gore and his mad scientist buddies speak with a forked tongue.

A big part of Tillis' dirty trick against Trump and Republicans in waiting so late in the game to make this move. If he had the objection he claims to have, he would have known it from the beginning, so why did he wait so long if not to screw his own party? Those articles show his objection is nonsense, anyway.

Republicans need to make this traitor Tillis personna non grata at party events. Kick him to the curb. He is NOT one of us.

SD: I'm not in disagreement. If we ever get the opportunity for heavy industry, we should take advantage of it. My recollecting about a previous local economy based on mostly locally owned primary sector industries and the locally owned service sector industries supporting them is just something that I consider more-healthy than what we have now.

Seems to me we have much less regular folks having opportunities for their own endeavors in primary sector activities. I suppose we still have secondary sector activities, but it is not what I consider broad based or even what could be considered strong. We continue to have service sector activities. The sector that is way out of whack locally is the quaternary sector, in my humble opinion. It has to be disappointing for you to see so many fellow governmental decision makers tooting their economic development horns and spending the public's hard-earned money while actually doing stupid things that block economic development. I'm often left wondering if it is only stupidity or something more.

Our founding fathers never intended the courts to get into policy making like this. In the Federalist Papers they said the courts should be the weakest branch of government because they are not accountable to the people. Judges are definitely throwing their weight around where they should not.

None of Tillis' offices seem to be answering their phones. A couple of them even have full mailboxes on comments that you cannot even record a comment. One can leave comments at a couple of his offices or send an email, but who knows if this dork Tillis even cares what his constituents think. VOTE HIM OUT IN 2026.

This shows what moronic ideologues these Obama judges are. Everybody except them seems to know that the Covid pandemic is long over. They just want to see government money spend and do not care what the excuse is. Obama and Biden judges are engaged in power grabs that are a threat to democracy and must be stopped.

Van Zant: Since I am a county commissioner; I cannot make the decision as to whether to leave a school open or close it; however, I will never vote to spend any county tax dollars for its replacement.

If I was a member of the school board, it would be a wise understanding that 3 strong votes on this board understands stewardship of the county treasury as well as I do, and once we gain that 4th vote, a 4th Real Republican on this board of county commissioners, there will be many changes.

There will be DOGE here in Beaufort County.

Agreed, Country Girl, but Tillis will be in the Senate until 2026, and until that time he needs to be moved to most insignificant committee assignments possible, certainly NOT Judiciary.
