The Afghanistan debacle set the stage for the lousy Biden-Harris foreign and security policy, among other things encourageling Putin to invade Ukraine. We left billions of dollars of military equipment over there as well as hundreds of US citizens. Now since that debacle, Biden-Harris have given the Taliban over a billion dollars. Considering that they have only spend $4 million on Hurricane Heleme relief, that is outrageous. Harris just announced we are giving $157 million to Lebanon, a government that has no control of a terrorist group operatinb on their territory that launches missilies against Israel. The American victims of Helene are not launching missiles at anybody. They should be getting help before Lebannon. Biden_Harris are an America Last regime.

I guess supporting an unaffiliated against a lifelong Republican says all that needs to be said about this blog site. You promote yourselves as conservative republicans but really it's all about finding someone you can control. Yep that's it.

I understand , like the boarder, it’s a campaign issue. MAGA would rather lie and hurt people than deal with an uncomfortable reality.

MaGA- to mean to govern

The right to exist is not indoctrination. LGBT kids exist and a post like yours pretty much tells all of them, they are at best unwelcome, at worst hated.

MAGA-can barely take care of themselves, but want to run your life

That is your Climate Scientology pagan religious cult doctrine speaking, Little Bobbie. Renowned novelist Michael Crichton wrote an excellent essay entitled "Global Warming as a Religion" which you ought to read. He makes some excellent points.

However, former Congressman Pete Dupont of Delaware also wrote some interesting pieces saying that climate alarmism was more of a political ideology, which he termed "Global Warmism". Dr. Vaclav Klaus, former prime minister and president of the Czech Republic really hit the nail on the head when he called climate alarmism "a budding totalitarian ideology that is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today."

What the climate alarmists are in denial of is that 1) there are well documented long term alternating warming and cooling cycles of the earth's atmosphere that last multiple centuries and we have been in a natural warming cycle since the 19th century when we came out of a particularly cold cycle called the Little Ice Age, and 2) it is well documented that CO2 in the atmosphere rises a century of so AFTER a warming cycle begins, not before it as the climate alarmist position would require. CO2 is a RESULT of warming atmosphere, NOT a cause of it.

For some real science on climate, listen to the many world renowned scientists interviewed in the British TV documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" which was broadcast nationally on Channel 4 in the UK: www.youtube.com

That would be a yes. This has nothing to do with God. It has everything to do with humans heating the planet. It’s not the end of the world. However it is the end of the world as we know it.

Mo Green is also being funded by NC Equity. Which if you look into NC Equity it's a LGBTQ advocacy group which is totally for the transition of children.
Do we really need the state school superintendent being involved in a group like that???
I think not!!

Trump's tax cuts benefitted the middle class and even lower middle class. Is your station in life lower than that, Bolshevik Bob. The Democrats pitched a tantrum because the Trump tax cuts were across the board, and more well to do also benefited. But it was the tax cuts for everybody approach that caused our economy to boom as a result.

With the Marxist ideas toward the successful, the Democrats don't mind killing the golden goose if it satisfies their ideological antagonism toward the successful.

And if you are either on social security or expect to be, then Trump's tax cut proposals would benefit you because he wants to end all taxation of social security benefits. That is a highly unfair tax because it is double taxation. Seniors were already taxed on that money when they earned it. Kamala Harris has said specifically that she wants to keep that unfair double taxation.

Van Zant, I think you are correct about the point of having a Democrat Party official as county school board attorney being a serious issue. Cheeseman used this same liberal Democrat attorney to try to cut as much ground as he could from under the curriculum reform effort. They batted that back and forth to kill as much of it as they could.

When parents are trying to get "woke" out of our schools, the very last thing we need is the school board attorney being the chairman of a very woke political organization.

Bob, if you believe what you say about the rich elites getting what they want... why arent you up in arms about the corruption in the Washington City Govt controlled by the privileged elites of this town?

And dont ask me to explain that to you. If you were as alert as you claim to be you would know all about it. This is a "little" town.

We are living in "the Great Corruption." Here, there, everywhere.

It not the a the average American. Rich white people, the one with the money, like the profits generated by cheap labor.

Rich white people get what they want. Most of the time.

Noticed you didn’t answer my question.
