Mike Speciale was called the "Conscience of the House". Burger does not want someone like that playing in his sandpile. One of Mike's handbooks is the Constitution. That gets in the way of these progressive power brokers.

In the face of historic voting irregularities and ongoing Election Interference by the Non Patriot Left, thus attempting to put Mr. Trump, Idiot Joe's presumptive opponent in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, in jail for the rest of his life as a political prisoner for not acknowledging the Idiot President as the rightful ruler of the Biden Regime, I do believe claiming grotesque hypocrisy by the Puppet President is in grand order at this time.

This is the perfect example of Institutionalized Corruption.

Still, you made a good enough point that Big Bob took issue with it, so by that alone, your comment has much merit.

Don't forget that liberal "Republican" state senate boss Phil Berger also has his own dark money groups he controls and that one of the seats they are trying to buy right now is our own 3rd district senate seat for Berger sock puppet Bob Brinson. We need to send dirtbag Berger a strong message on election day - hands off OUR senate seat!

We need to ban these dark money groups from political campaigns.

Anyone advocating for a theocracy is advocating for civil war and violence. No person will stand for another forcing their region on them. That's the beauty of a secular government. We all get to live and conduct our personal business privately. In the town square, we are equals and have equal rights. White males are no better or worse , than anyone else.

Better to point your whole family and get them one the payroll.

The word "conservative" does get used all too often by politicians who by no stretch of the imigination are anything close to a conservative. The one that always got me as particularly tone deaf was Democrat Sen. George McGovern, after running what at the time was by far the most far left campaign for president in US history in 1972, followed that up in his next reelection campaign in South Dakota calling himself a "conservative". Of course, most voters remembered his presidential campaign, and knew he did not have a conservative bone in his body, and he lost reelection. But there are politicians like McGovern out there who think voters are that gullible.

Voters need to look at actual political records much more than they do rhetoric. What candidates actually DO matters a whole lot more than what they SAY.

What I would like to see in local campaigns is endorsements based on issue quetionaires. Those questionaires should ask for examples in candidates records that prove their answers are genuine. That is the best way to do endorsements. It should not be based on personalities or factions, but where candidates actually stand on real issues.

Considering that the Democrat DOJ has prosecuted a comedy writer for a piece that was clearly satire for "election interference", it is time when Trump comes back to set up a special proscutor and grand jury to investigate real election interference by the Democrats and there are judges and proscutors high on the list of those who need to be indicted for their very real electoin interference. That grand jury ought to sit in a place where there will be a good jury pool for conviction like West Virginia, rural Texas, rural Alabama, or much of Florida. Lets see how the Democrats and their minions like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Lets make them regret ever opening this can of worms.

So Bobbie has finally figured out that it is natural cycles that control weather, not the globalist fantasy propaganda of "climate change". Yes, Bobbie there is an annual climate cycle wheter it is hot in summer and cold in winter. It has always been that way. There is another natural climate cycle that will impact this summer, and that changes every two or three years between El Nino patterns and La Nina patterns. The El Nino pattern that has been in effect is now clearly shifting to a La Nine pattern, but I am sure the globalist propagandists will claim its impacts are really from their fantasy "climate change".

You lefties are just so so gullible. The European farmers who are in mass revolt agaisnt the globalist climate agenda have a very apt term for it - "climate communism".

The real takeaway here is that this is just another policy area where Tillis is out of touch with the Republican base and off marching to a leftist drummer. He badly needs to be priimaried out of office. We certainly do not need to be electing any Tillis (or Berger) endorsed candidates to ANY office. Berger is just as bad for supporting radical climate alarmism.

Separation of church and state is in the 1936 Constitution of the USSR
ARTICLE 124. In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the state, and the school from the church. Freedom of religious worship and freedom of antireligious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.
And in the 1977 USSR constitution
Article 52. Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited.
In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.
Not in the USA Constitution.
