Commented on GOP Senate border deal leakedAbout the border, I’m afraid the damage has already been done. The federal government has failed to do, one of the main things for which it was instituted.
We now live in a country with a government, that proudly breaks its oaths of office established by the Constitution such as Article IV Section IV; “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.“ Well my friends the invasion has already occurred, now it is but a question of time. May God forgive us our sins. Do we think it is also a coincidence that movies of apocalyptic nature are prevalent? If the Government is the temple of liberty, then the articles in the Constitution are the stones of the building. As it was written: “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

Commented on GOP Senate border deal leakedAbout Tillis, definitely a bought and paid for politician, but many knew this before he was elected. They saying goes “follow the money” and his biggest donor was the “Club For Growth”. This club is full of rich donors many of them staunch supporters of things one would consider leftist. This can be done with any candidate and honestly the more you find out about anyone, the less appealing they are. I believe the party system itself is a vexation that those before us warned against. Blind loyalties breed bad candidates, corruption, and cover ups. There are only bad options.

Commented on Partners in DemocracyWell affirmed John, and spoken well as truth.
I am certainly tired of President Trump continually abused as a rallying point for whacked out Leftist of low civic intellect.

Commented on Partners in DemocracyStan, the fact that an organization would invite a far left propagandist like one of the Campbells to their meeting speaks volumes about the political orientation - partisan and ideological - of that organization.
The real threat to democracy is coming from Biden and the Democrats. They are the ones who tried to set up an Orwellian "Ministry of Truth" to have government determine what was "true". They are the ones who were slapped down in federal court in Missouri v. Biden for trying to suppress freedom of speech on social media. It is dictators who try to remove their stongest opponents from the ballot and who try to put them in jail. The Biden regime has its fingerprints all over trying to do both to Donald Trump. Putin has done both to his political opponents, and so have lots of other dictators around the world. It is Biden who has been totally lawless in thumbing his nose at our immigration laws, and he is doing so for brazenly political purposes. It is Biden who is at war with our Second Amendment, on top of beting at war against the First Amendment. It is Biden who is placing Soviet-style political officers to push the far left DEI ideology in our armed forces. Biden has blatantly politicized the DOJ and FBI and made them political tools for his regime, not unlike the old East German Stasi or the KGB or Gestapo. Indeed earlier this year a national poll found a majority of Americans agreed with the statement that Biden had made the FBI his "personal Gestapo". Trump is NOT a threat to democracy, but Biden and those who pull his puppet strings certainly ARE.

Commented on GOP Senate border deal leakedThere are what amount to "fifth column" Republicans trying to sabotage the GOP from within, and they have infiltrated major leadership positions in Raleigh and Washington, DC. Phil Berger is probably the worst of the fifth columnists in Raleigh and Mitch McConnell is his counterpart in Washington, DC.
The term "fifth column" comes from the Spanish Civil War when a Nationalist general told the media "I have four columns marching on the city, and a fifth column ready to rise up inside it". "Fifth column" refers to the traitors within. If the GOP goes soft on illegal immigration, a huge issue for voters, it throws a lifeline to Biden and other vulnerable Democrats and stabs the Republican Party in the back. Mitch McConnell is, indeed, just as much a creature of Red China as Joe Biden is. The Chinese have poured millions of dollars into the relatives of both so that they own Biden and McConnell. With Biden, the recipient is Hunter Biden, and with McConnell, it is his wife and father-in-law.

Going after those "honkies" again, Bigot Bob?
Providing paper copies of recorded documents is something that helps preserve them, but that is under threat also at the Clerk of Court's office with so-called "e-courts" where they will no longer keep paper files, and that is driven by globalist idiots from Raleigh.

Commented on Partners in DemocracyWhat concerns me most from this post, where the subject is stated within this phrase "there was almost unanimous consensus that Donald Trump was the biggest threat to Democracy any had known in their lifetime," speaks volumes regarding the fact there exists this level of abject stupidity within 50 miles of the geographical center of Beaufort County. This level of ignorance, of hypocrisy meeting as a concerned group to comfortably agree with one another, and to re-affirm this incredible level of a wanton lack of public awareness regarding President Donald Trump, as their accompanying Boogey Man, should concern all Americans that the Democratic Socialist Propagandist Media is certainly dumbing down its avid consumers.
Even though the discussion of the "Principles of Democracy" has some broad points of merit; however, taken individually as ideals, one should first ask: Are these precepts being practiced by Democratic Socialists? The answer is a resounding NO. Donald Trump, on the other hand, by his deeds alone, exhibits a far more reasonable practice of knowing how a free self-governed Good People should be represented. Alternatively, Democratic Socialists created a collusive environment of corruption, under the compliant cover of covid, where mass cheating in 2020 General Election gave America, and the World, Idiot President Biden. Furthermore, in an exact point, this nation has never been a "Democracy." This nation has always been either a Constitutional Republic, or a Representative Republic, both nearly the same in a politically democratic sense; however, these States United have never been a "Democracy." All American citizens should know better, regardless of how often this false statement of "nation as a Democracy" is overly uttered.

John Valley: Oh, the "5-2" you speak of is the number of Real Republicans versus the Center - Left Coalition of like minded politicians, who caucus as a voting block on essential bipartisan inspired /Democratic Socialist issues.
A version of that political equation has existed for nearly two decades here in Beaufort County, and NO, I am not nervous of that long standing paradigm because I fully realize that there many Real Republicans in Beaufort County, all whom well understand the RINO problem that does exist here locally, and are hopeful that this very real situation will become common knowledge among the electorate. In case you are not aware: My election vote total in the 2022 general was the highest I have ever received in a Limited Voting contest (my candidacy as my constituents' voice led all Republicans on that ballot), so I do fully realize that I have a constant constituency, who vote for me for a variety reasons, but chief among them is that I Do NOT vote swap with Democratic Socialists on issues important to Leftists. Accordingly, I will not change what I hold myself out to be; however, this publication (the largest in the history of Beaufort County) of which we have created from "soup to nuts" from total scratch, is on a very fine rise, and the truth is being heard more and more by locals and those from a far distance. Therefore, In all functional truth: Sunlight is the greatest political disinfectant; these journals are a permanent archives of all that is topical and is real.

Response to Mr. Deatherage: No, sir. I'm not referring to the illuminati when I'm talking about "5-2". "5-2" is the number you yourself gave out when you were categorizing your fellow commissioners. It tells me and everybody else with a good third eye that somebody's getting nervous because the bettin' odds don't look to good for the small group Hood and yourself represent. I'm not being funny when I say that either.
It's a shame that our county couldn't put together a dream team to carry on after 2020.

Carolyn Garris: No one is disputing the essential need for electronic recordation; the issue is the absolute need for hard copies if there should be an Electronic Magnetic Pulse (EMP), massive solar flares (not unlike the Carrington event of 1859); or probably more eventual, the weaponized hacking of the governmental informational infrastructure.
With North Carolina being one of two Race to Record states, it is critical to protect the continuation of accessible recorded documents, regardless of the condition of the electric grid; regardless of the viability of data stored on solid state drives.

I interviewed NC Treasury Secretary Dale Folwell yesterday, which will be featured on Eastern NC NOW early next week.
I met Dale some time ago when he was running for elected office, and have talked to him at political /governing events many times over the years, especially the ones I attend in Raleigh; however, I never fully realized how deep his governing well ran until I interviewed him for about 25 minutes on Friday, January 12th, of which I will provide a transcript with some Zoom video. It will be a most informative article for those seeking real information to aid in their making the right decision for the Republican nominee for North Carolina's governor here in the 2024 general election.

I concur that Dale Folwell is both the strongest general election candidate we have and the one most likely to be successful is pursuing the conservative agenda in government. I also concur that Bill Graham is both our weakest general election candidate and the least likely to push the conservative agenda. I don't think Graham can get around his farmer problem that he created for himself. The skeletons in Robinson's personal closet may or may not stick in a general election. Folwell is a staunch conservative who takes the bull by the horns and gets things done. Robinson does a whole lot of talking but almost no "doing". Graham talks a good game now but it does not match his past positions on issues, and then you have to look at who he surrounds himself with poltiically.
The problem is that who would be the strongest candidate in a general election may not be the strongest candidate in a primary. Graham has dumped $5 million of his own money into his primary campaign to try to buy the election, like his role model John Edwards did. Robinson's speaking ability has given him a huge head start in terms of name recognition and raising out of state money. Folwell has a lot of hurdles to overcome to win the primary in a shorter than traditional primary season. That state employees endorsement will indeed be a huge help in winning the general election but most of thier members will not be voting in the GOP primary, so it is only of marginal help there.
