John Steed is absolutely correct with regards to the Coastal CON$ervation A$$ociation and its detrimental political influence on more electeded officials than John Bell, but, HE IS the recipient of multiple CCA plaques awards etc. Those electeds that have, for over 30 yrs now, fallen in line with the CCA agenda have failed to realize that a nation that cannot feed itself cannot defend itself.

Robbing Haze for over 30 yrs blended the GA members with the CCA. His last efforts to taint the NC Wildlife Federation is an embarrassment to it's founding members.

There is no difference in the way NC's Division of Marine Fisheries is manipulated (fake $cience) than what we $ee going on in DC. Control of our food sources, esp farming AND fishing, is something that the voters of NC need to take control of.

You've got that right, Stan, and when the machines screw up, getting recourse is often dificult.

There was a case in the UK where a man got a ticket in the mail from a speed camera saying he was driving over 400 miles an hour on a British motorway. He sent a letter back saying that this could not possibly be right because he drove an old Toyota, not a jumbo jet. He got a letter back that the machine was always right and he should pay up.

There was another case some years ago when this issue was hot at the legislature, when a legislator brought up the case of one of his constituents. She had received a red light camera ticket in the mail from a town she said she had never been to in her life. Further, on the day she allegedly ran the red light, she could document that she was in intensive care in a hospital in Las Vegas, and the car was in the parking garage there. The town still did not want to cancel the ticket.

Clearly, Bob has never driven in Greece, Spain, Malta, or Turkey. I have, and Greenville drivers are MUCH MUCH better than those. Heck, the UK Foreign Office even has an advisory to its citizens traveling in Spain about driving because of the craziness of Spanish drivers. Driving in Italy was also a bit hectic due to Italian drivers tendency to view highway signs like stop signs as mere suggestions.

The worst thing about red light cameras is that they are an undemocratic police state measure right out of Orwell's "1984", but that sort of thing seems right down Bob's ally from some of his posts here.

By most measures, the economy is strong. Stock market up, unemployment low, inflation coming down. Considering the war in Ukraine and the environmental crisis we are facing, things could be a lot worse.

Greenville has some of the worst drivers on the planet. The red light cameras were good and a big plus, they treated the rich white good ol boys like everyone else.

I read this twice, and by the second reading, I realized that the issue may well be about:

The school boards of Pitt County have determined that they may have been shortchanged by the City of Greenville on civil proceeds due to them by the Fine and Forfeitures clause in the NC Constitution; however, now believe they must work diligently to succeed in getting the highest court in North Carolina to overturn their recent ruling on traffic enforcement by cameras as unconstitutional so that schools in Pitt County can settle up with the City of Greenville, and continue to get more revenues from an unconstitutional levy just recently struck down.

If I got this right convoluted issue right, then I am smarter than I pretend to be, and alternately, the Pitt County schools' administration /school boards got some real intellectual /wise governing work to do, both independently and collectively, unconstitutional collection of unwarranted fines collected notwithstanding.

Bell and Hall led the effort to citcle the wagons around Moore in his scandal. They helped give us the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, gambling, the Green New Deal, and boys in the girls bathroom. North Carolina can do better than that pair of closet Democrat clowns.

Climate science has long known of the multi-century warming and cooling cycles the Earth goes through, and the last previous warming cycle, the Medieval Warm Period, was warmer than today for several hundred years. The biggest warm period, the Holocene Maximum, was much warmer than today for three thousand years. Northing bad happened to Earth in any of the previous warm periods. Indeed humanity suffered worse in the last cooling period, known as the Little Ice Age or the Maunder Minimum.

If one actually looked at how the greenhouse effect works, it is clear that the greenhouse effect is NOT involved in current warming. If the greenhouse effect went away, the Earth would be far too cold to sustain life. All of that is explained in that British TV documentary.

Like most far lefts types, you take a small piece of information and twist it into something you claimi in major but it is not.

Economy is pretty good. But at least that is a real issue to be discussed

No wonder the economy is adrift and inflation is raging. And wait until their green new deal climate policies take hold and everyone sees their electric bills skyrocket.

Of course, "redistribution" is just another term for socialism, if not communism.

A physicist understands how all the processes involvee actually work, and can understand the fact that CO2 has never driven climate in the past and does not do so now. And the mad scientist in Sweden who invented the manmade CO2 global warming theory back in 1896 was, guest what?, a physicist. The theory had so little credibility that it was totally forgotten until someone dredged it up in 1981.

There are scientists expert on the climate and in fact who have attended the UN's climate chanage conferences who are interviewed in that British TV documentary who tear the manmade CO2 theory of global warming to shreds.

The climate alarmist scientists rely on the voodoo science of computer modelling. When one sets up a computer model, they can set it up to produce whatever range of results they want.

One of the sets of facts that disproves the manmade CO2 theory of global warming is the relationship between warming and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. If CO2 caused warming, itcreases in it would precede warming, but it doesn't. Instead it does the opposite and lags substantially behind warming, meaning it is a RESULT of the warming, NOT a cause of it.
