MAGA pushes this falsehood. Had they won - crickets.

You should. Ask your self: What is the life span of the 50 million dollar school? 20 years? 50 years?
Better find some high ground.

Biden's trying to make law through the executive branch is an attack on democracy. Legislative power is supposed to be in the legislative branch. Our govenrment is supposed to have a Separation of Powers. Stopping the Title IX abomination of boys in the girls restrooms and locker rooms and on girls athletic teams is most important. It is good that 26 states are suting to stop it, It is maddening that our own far left Attorney General Josh Stein has failed to sue on behalf of North Carolina girls. We certainly do not need this radical leftwinger Stein as our governor.

Wrong, Bob. America has never seen the level of institutionalized election corruption that we saw from the Democrats in 2020, much of it orchestrated by weakening election intergrity standards in the series of Marc Elias lawsuits.

In North Carolina, the one incident you can point to for a Reputlican is the ballot harvesting by Monroe Dallas in Bladen County in 2018. Dallas was a longtime operative for Democrat ballot harvesting who in one election went to work for a Republican congressional candidate. The Democrats then used that to force a rerun of that election. Most of the liberal media kept their blinders on and only reported on his activities in 2018. One media outlet, however, WBTV in Charlotte assigned an objective investigative journalist to the issue, and his reports that they broadcast covered the whole scope of what was going on in southeastern NC, including that Democrats were also running a ballot harvesting operation in Bladen County in 2018, and Democrats alone were running ballot harvesting operations in Robeson and Columbus counties. In fact, there was more ballot harvesting going on in Robeson County, all for the Democrats than total ballot harvesting in the other two counties combined. The Democrat controlled state Board of Elections swept everything the Democrats were doing in that election under the rug, but WBTV got the word out in public at least in their viewing area. Only 10-15% of the 2018 ballot harvesting in that Congressional race was for the Republican. The rest of it was for the Democrat, but most statewide media ignored that. Cudos to WBTV, one of the few honest media outlets in the state.

Ballot harvesting in southeastern NC also came up in the recount of the 2016 gubenatorial race. There was a write in candidate in one of those counties, and during the hand recount, it was noted that the write in candidate's name was written in the same distinctive handwriting and in a unique color of ink on a large number of ballots. Those ballots were also voted for all Democrats, including for governor, in the other races. This was a clear indication of ballot harvesting by Democrats in 2016 in the same part of the state.

In the later half of the last century, Republicans in North Carolina never had the sort of county level ruthless political machines like the Ponder machine in Madison County, the Sonny Boy Joyner machine in Northhampton County, the DCNA machine in Durham County, the Griffin machine in Martin County or other similar county level political machines. The DCNA machine stole a congressional race in the old 4th district in 1972 which I helped investigate, and it still does its dirty work today under a similar but different name.

I don't think you can ever cite a case of Republicans voting illegal aliens, but it seems a common practice of Democrats.

I've got to be honest; I'm highly concerned with the fact that Uncle Hood is seeding the idea of putting a community school in or around the industrial Park area.

If I were him, I'd rethink throwing that strategy out there. The White folks and the Black folks of that area are smelling some shenaniganry afoot and they don't like it, I can assure you. There's plenty of land elsewhere and money for serious renovation....they just don't want to give it up FOR those reasons.

Dr. Blinson has always been a voice of reason. The man has the patience of Job lol. He's liked by the Conservatives of all backgrounds

Reaction to JB's interview. The man is old. However, his ideas and policy are solid and far better than anything that lying lunatic trump will ever produce.

Democrats have the right to ask Joe to step aside provided they have a replacement. Firing the coach with no idea who will replace him is a dumb idea. Trump is very beatable.

These attempts to vote illegal aliens have been going on for years and they are ramping up this year. There has been plenty of evidence of that since at least when they stole Bob Dornan's congressional seat a couple of decades ago. We need to impose very severe sentences on this criminal activity to discourage it as it is corrupting our elections.

No I'm not. People from all walks of life commit crimes.

Painting with a broad brush is disingenuous.

White men hate it when its done to them. Some white men dont mind doing it to others.

How high do your home owners insurance rates have to get?

For you, what is the tipping point?
