Primary palm cards from conservative sources are more important than ever. Other traditional sources for information can no longer be trusted by conservatives. For example, the Beaufort County Republican Party is now engaged in a dishonest and hateful anti-conservative campaign. A big part of this campaign is to invite DEMOCRATS to vote in the Republican primary in hopes of defeating conservatives.

For roughly the last decade the Beaufort County Republican Party has been in a steep decline. Using the actual party platform as a guide, I think it is safe to say the local Repub. Party is actually doing way more harm than good.

I am just sick of this Brinson constantly filling up my mailbox with repetitive crap, and the more I find out about it, it is also mostly lies.

For too long, diploma mills have been allowed to run amuck essentially stealing money for students and taxpayers by offering high priced worthless degrees.if you got a loan and went to Duke, Unc, or ECU.your on your own - as you should be. However if you have some degree from DeVoss or Trump U - then you are owed a refund.

Do you reckon that Democratic Socialists figured a long term hustle here in the education industry that the rest of us pay for - a diminishing product that just happens to be indoctrinating many unto a profound ignorance.

Can you now see why the Idiot President is so intent in forgiving all these loans even thought the United States Supreme Court declared he could not.

This is what a lawless president looks like.

Yeah, that one is the media that actually broke the story, and they tell you where it came from, which was whistle blowers inside Fani Willis' office.

One has to understand the dynamics of the legislature to see why this race is viewed as so critical. There is a lot more at stake than just one seat out of fifty. That is because Mike Speciale is an experienced legislative strategist who has natural allies in the Senate while Brinson, even if he dared stand up to Berger, which is unlikely, would be an inexperienced freshman with no natural allies, so that even if inclined to do something, would not have the background to be effective.

Right now the "leadership" in both House and Senate - Tim Moore and Phil Berger - focus more on pleasing the special interests than on the wishes of Republican voters, and this all too often leads to them pushing through liberal legislation that the special interests want, which happen to also be key agenda items for Roy Cooper.

Speciale organized the Freedom Caucus in the House which put the brakes on the level of control that the Speaker could exert. By standing together under Speciale's leadership, they forced Speaker Moore to back down on a number of key issues, once saving taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in the state budget. Keith Kidwell took over as chairman and has also worked the same way to block bad legislation, most recently Berger's push for casinos.

The situation for conservatives in the Senate is bad. Berger has iron fisted control and individual conservatives have been beaten down so badly that nobody wants to put their head up to lead. The election of Speciale provides that leader, someone who knows the ropes and how to fight and also is already known and respected by serving conservative senators, some of whom worked in the House with the Freedom Caucus under Speciale.

Speciale's election to the Senate would create a whole new ball game to level the playing field with the special interest oriented establishment. That is what state and national conservatives want to see and what Berger is fearful of. That is why everyone is so interested in this race, and why all conservatives should rally around Speciale. Grassroots North Carolina specifically cited being willing to stand up to "leadership" as one of the reasons they have endorsed Speciale.

We know Speciale's record and what he is capable of. Brinson is a big question mark, but clearly without the legislative experience or contacts to be a real factor in Raleigh. Berger also has his hooks into Brinson very deeply with all the support provided, and would not let Brinson ever be able to forget that.

THere are times that one man (or woman) can make a big difference, and this election that one man is Mike Speciale.

One of my links is to the source which broke the story, and they would certainly know where it came from. What you are getting is likely MSM spin, and they push the narrative not the facts, like AP conveniently leaving out the background of the illegal alien arrested for murder of that nursing student jogger in Georgia. Then it your search enging is politically biased Google that adds more political flavoring to the result. Google's political bias is why Senator Vance recently called for it to be broken up as a threat to democracy into smaller companies.

Most illegal aliens are military aged males, and that is part of what makes rape and sexual assault more common when they come into a country in large numbers. Places like Sweden and Germany were once very safe for women, but now compete on being the rape capitals of Europe as both have been overrun by illegal alien "asylum seekers" and sometimes that moves on to murder. Robbery and drug dealing also skyrocket from migrant arrivals, as does gang activity. The only solution is securing the border and then mass deportation.

Oh? Is that what your far left talking points are telling you today, Bobbie? If you bothered to read the articles, the source of this information is whistleblowers in Fani Willis' corrupt office.

ANd we have the same troll Bobbie for whom pesky little things like facts just don't matter. For the Bobbies of the world, the far left narrative is the only "truth" in town.
