Comments | Eastern NC Now

Big Bob: I am not affiliated with the "BO." I kindly provide the publication space on my Eastern NC NOW platform simply because I appreciate them providing news and information to our readership ... so in the absence of all else that might be news not presented, I consider almost everything on the Eastern NC NOW platform as journalism in a relative and comparative sense with what little else is provided in this region.

I know a lot, and I still learn much from the "BO" contributions, so I consider them a valuable asset to our joint readership.

They really need to raise minimum wages from $7.25 because the cost of living is you which included mortgage/rent,food and clothing. The wages should go up accordingly to living expenses. If we can send money to different countries, we should be able to take care of our home states...

As such, I am. Just don’t forget that protecting what the flag represents is really what it’s all about. Anyone think a reporter in Russia is able to see Putins tax returns?

Each year, they have to guess which flu strains will dominate, and gear the vaccine to those strains. Sometimes they guess right and sometimes they guess wrong. Nonetheless, I have been getting the flu shots for years. Viruses mutate, and that makes vaccines difficult.

Bob, you are right that people fight and die for what the flag represents and that is why it should be protected as a symbol of democracy and freedom. It is by the sacrifice of those who have served that you are able to express your position on where you stand. We should all be thankful for that.

Because they knew the reporter, the poet, the lawyer, and the university were worth risking their lives. Nobody fights and dies for a flag. People fight and die for what the flag represents. They served to protect my right to say: DJT, kiss my a$$. With all his millions and all his power he cant stop me from saying it. That in a nutshell is why people serve in the greatest country on earth. Truth to power.

"Green energy" is a scandal in itself. THe only thing "green" about it is the green money that flows into the pockets of the grifters who promote it.Green energy is much more expensive and much less reliable than conventional power. Both wind and solar are land intensive and have led to vast deforestation, which only in an Orwellian sense could be passed off as "green". That deforestation not only includes the sites where the wind and solar "farms" are built, but also vast swaths of the Amazon, known as the "lungs of the planet" which are being clear cut for balsa wood for wind turbine blades.

Here in North Carolina, the scoundrels behind pushing our own green new deal include Phil Berger and Jim Perry in the state senate and Tim Moore in the state house.

You’re just can’t admit you were wrong. It’s right in front of you on this thread. Why should anyone believe anything you post?
