If the earth were to cool, I would gladly admit defeat.

What a waste of time discussing a stupid letter when they could have discussed what they are going to do about their failing schools! It is always about teachers getting upset or
offended because someone is trying to let them know our district needs to do better.
Our schools are failing because these boards member do absolutely nothing! They are idiots!! These board meetings are nothing but drama they have no resolutions.

So, Bobbie, now you are concerned that your climate alarmist cult has the inability to accept defeat? Get ready. Your defeat is coming as more and more people realize that cliamte alarmism is a scam.

Often the best conservative candidate is also the strongest candidate.

Take the current governor's primary. Of course all three loudly proclaim themselves "conservative", but one, Bill Graham, has a liberal record on a number of issues and has been endorsed by liberal Senator Thom Tillis, and another, Mark Robinson is missing in action on virtually all issues, afraid of his own shadow when it comes to actually engaging on issues in spite of his forceful speeches. Robinson is all talk and no do.

Both of those candidates have flaws beyond their positions on issues. Robinson has a lot of personal baggage from his past which would be grist for the Democrats and their media allies' mill. Several of Graham's lawsuit have made farmers his mortal enemy, and if the farmer vote abandons a Republican, like they surely would Graham, he is unelectable.

Dale Folwell, the most effective and dependable conservative in the group is also the most electable. He has the ability to reach out into groups that usually vote Democrat. For example, his steady work as State Treasurer to defend our state pension fund and state health plan has earned Folwell the endorsement of the state employees association, a group that usually supports Democrats and which represents a substantial block of votes in November.

VOting for the best conservative in the governor's primary also means voting for the strongest candidate against Josh Stein.

Unfortunately, if we cannot stop the growing politization of our justice system, court may be where democracy goes to die. A growing number of our courts are much more attuned to politics than wealth these days.

Here is something else disturbing that has come out after the trial. The judge and the lawyer for Ms. Carroll both worked in the same law firm, where he was her mentor. With that personal relationship, an honest judge would have recused himself without being asked and would have revealed it to the other party. Judge Kaplan kept it secret and did not recuse himself. Of course, I also fault the Trump team for not researching the judge and opposing counsel in such a high profile case, where they should have discovered this before trial and made a written motion for his recusal. Still judges would normally do that on their own with such a relationship, but this one did not.

Anybody can file anything. Let me know when you "win" in court. Then we can talk.

The only thing that bothers me about the cult is the inability to accept defeat. Normal people arnt going for this and DJT will lose the election if he is not in jail.

Another violent insurrection will not be tolerated. The Union Army will hold the line

Bobbie, I'll trump your 83 million with 22 articles of impeachment on Fani Willis!

Mike Speciale represented Beaufort County or at least a part of it for several of his terms, so we saw firsthand what sort of legislator he is. Mike was the real deal who walked the walk as a staunch conservative as well as talking the talk, and was a strong voice for the interests and principles of the district. He was approachable by citizens either at his office in Raleigh or in the town halls he held regularly in each county in his district, where constituents were encouraged to ask questions and make comments. He stood his ground in Raleigh on policy and in doing so often moved the needle significantly to the right. While keeping a respectful relationship with the more liberal leadership, he was adept at finding ways to manuever around them to achieve conservative results.

With no conservatives in the senate willing to engage with the leadership as Mike did in the House, Mike is exactly who conservatives need in Raleigh to make a real difference for the whole state, not just for our district but for all conservatives.

His opponent does talk a good game, but does not have the record of action that Mike does. He may talk the talk, but if he got to Raleigh, it would be an open question if he would walk the walk. If Berger is pushing money toward him, that means at least Berger beleives he would not.

We have seen too many politicians talk a good game but then do the opposite like Thom Tillis, or talk a good game and then sit on their hands and do nothing like Mark Robinson. All talk and no "do" gets us nowhere. When we have a sure thing, why take a chance on a "maybe"?

Stan: A celebration of corruption. An apt phrase. When a leftist fanatic sees the stick of corruption welded on his enemies, he is fine with that. It's different if the situation is reversed. A patriot hates the corruption no matter who that power stick is hitting.

Big Bob: Why do you celebrate corruption as if this is a petulant game for non patriot Leftists?

Why do you you have this great affinity for corrupt Democratic Socialist Lawyers and Jurists representing the most corrupt profession, this side of Democratic Socialists Propagandists operating in the Non Patriot Left Media, here in the history of this nation?

How crooked does one's spirit have to be to get to this point?
