Criminal gangs of illegal aliens like MS13 from EL Salvador and Tren de Aragua from Venezuela bring their thugs easily through the Biden-Harris open borders, often using the "unaccompanied minor" loophole. Even when they are covered in gang tatoos, the Biden - Harris instructions are to just let them in. These gangs are setting down roots all across America. MS13 has been in North Carolina for several years and TdA is now trying to get established. These gangs should be the first targets of President Trump's deportations.

And how much money did Trump pay Stormy to wax his skippy? Remember you don't pay a whore for sex. You pay her to go away afterwards. Or in this case, to shut up about it. Cant have the pregnant Mrs. finding out. Such a stormy day.....Stormy....

Who's not fit to be president?

Of course, to LIttle Bobbie, ANYTHING that is not part of the far left narrative becomes "a lie". That is simply his definition of the word "lie".

Obsessing about race, as Bigot Bov and his role model Al Sharpton do, is NOT being "realistic". As to trying to rewrite American history, that would be the "woke" who tear down historic monuments, like their role model the Taliban, and who produce such garbage as the 1619 Project, which even its own creator had to finally admit was NOT real history.

Election interference by entities that should stay out of campaigns is something I have seen way too much of. My seven years as Republican district chairman of the old 21-county First Congressional District were at a time when the GOP was first getting real legs in eastern NC, and that resulted too often in election interference. When that happened, as district chairman I went to the mat with the strongest pushback possible. While election interference for a time largely stopped, we have been seeing it at the national level recently.

A school district and its superintendant are among those who should stay out of political campaigns, and when they take sides, that is a case of election interference.

The political sign where a mountain has been made out of a mole hill, was not well designed. It is clear that whoever put it together had considerable skill as a graphic artist but no knowledge of political signage. It was cluttered with things like the star and BCS logo that interfered with the main things a candidate needs to get across on a political sign. Political signs are meant to get attension from people driving by, where they only get a quick glance at a sign. A passing motorist is extremely unlikely to even take in the tiny BCS logo, much less comprehend its meaning.

The timing of the complaint is very telling as to its nature as election interference. The sign had been out for weeks, but the complaint was not registered until crunch time in the campaign, when candidate time was at a premium and taking yard signs out of play would be particularly damaging. The timeing alone makes this reek of election interference.

Then there is the manner in which this was handled, which was completely aimed at a political candidate. If those driving this train really cared about "protecting" a logo, wouldn't they have taken legal steps to do so, such as moving forward to actually register it as a trademark? The fact that they did not speaks volumes on their real motives. The goal seems to be cranking down on a political candidate, not taking steps to legally register this "trademark".

The third thing to look at is the nature of their beef. The claim that this logo is a "trademark" is on very shaky ground. No one has ever even tried to follow the staturoy process to register it. The claim of being a "common law trademark" is in a grey area. It might stand up and it might not. That is not something one goes on the warpath over unless they are playing politics.

Looking at all aspects of this dispute, it clearly appears based in election interference by a person or group that has no business engaging in politics. While the presence of a tiny representation of this logo on a campaign sign has no impact either way on an election, there seem to be those who think that complaining about it might.

There is a huge difference. Consentual sex for romance or pleasure is not a big deal in today's society. When a man or woman exchanges sex for something of value, that is prostitution, whether the thing of value is cash, political favors, or something else. Kamala Harris prostituted herself by exchanging sex for political favors. That is not somebody we want as president.

So if my guy doesn't win, I'm out of here.

Sort of a Jane Fonda response if you ask me.

MAGA- unAmerican

It is all true, Baghdad Bob. YOu are just in denial.

Hurricane Helene had a weather pattern exactly like the 1916 hurricane that had the same result in western North Carolina. Even the Weather Channel, ususlly in bed with the climate cult, put out a video showing how it happened, and the word "climate" was not mentioned once in the video. weather.com

None of this is true.

The effects of climate change will be very expensive and time consuming.

Really people? Which is worse?

Donald Trump, having a side-chick to fulfill his dreams, OR...
Kamala Harris, BEING a Side-Chick, to fulfill her dreams?

Which is worse? I think the answer can be found in each one's dreams.
Is it worse to use others for a human pleasure, or is it worse to use others as a steppingstone, in search of power and status?

I worry about you. What on earth are you going to do if Trump loses? Right now I’d say it’s 50/50. Hope you can wrap your head around it.
