Remember the Ross Perot Campaign when he warned of that "Gian Sucking Sound" that would be heard as we set up all the foreign trade deals. Now we are going to propagate a stronger Communist Party than we already have being promoted in our schools.

Love the founding fathers. Agree that the confederacy should not be celebrated. Able to study history as it really was and no, the statue of David is not porn. I’m going to stick with “crackpots” should not be setting policy for 200 CV.

Buzz, I don't think any of the potential GOP candidates for governor is a lawyer. Dale Folwell is a CPA. Mark Robinson worked in private business. Mark Walker is a pastor. Even Tillis worked in private business.

I was a big fan of Mark Robinson when he ran for his current office. He is a first rate orator and hit all the right conservative notes. He started off great on the education issues, but he stopped, not even attending state school board meetings for months. A governor's appointees are key to his success. They are what made Jim Martin a great governor and Pat McCrory a poor one. Robinson has a rather small staff as Lt. Governor but his appointments there have been less than impressive. Most importantly, Robinson was asleep at the switch when RINOs pushed major left wing legislation including the Obamacare Medicaid expansion and the NC Green New Deal through the legislature. A group of conservative energy experts actually met with Robinson on contesting the Green New Deal but Robinson refused to get involved. Dale Folwell, on the other hand has shown as State Treasurer that he knows how to properly staff government with competent conservatives and he knows how to use the levers of power to push conservative policy. Talk is great with Robinson but it is Folwell who shows he can actually push conservative policy successfully.

Republicans are almost certain to have a choice of two conservatives in the primary for Governor, Lt. Governor Mark Robinson and State Treasurer Dale Folwell. Robinson probably has better candidate skills but Folwell has much better governing skills. There are rumblings that RINO Senator Thom Tillis is also eying the primary for governor, as well as former Congressman Mark Walker.

Stan, I love how you often remind people that the Babylon Bee is satire. I wonder how many internalize each piece while doing their own "research" I bet it's a lot. I bet it gets quoted as gospel more times than you would think. Bhahahaha

A country can crack down on asylum abuse by illegal aliens simply by strict enforcement of the treaties. One is do an immediate determination of asylum as Hungary does in an immediate hearing and then deny it, expelling the migrant immediately afterward. Another is to focus on the fact that if a migrant is coming from a country where he is already safe, he is nont entitled to asylum and can be immediately turned back. Since most of them lie to make up reasons to claim asylum, using a polygraph while they are making the claims could immediately expose their lies and justify denial of entry.

Stan: I just read your dissertation about losing the local school districts website business, and how your county's taxpayers on the hook for a bunch more money to let that local business "far, far away" and I think I got your problem figured out, even though it is too late to do anything about it now.

Now Stan, you know that I have known you a very long time, and I do respect your integrity as someone that knows you, and someone that has read most of what you write here, but my good friend, you have to understand that losing that business is your own fault, and it you want someone to blame go haul your ass to mirror and take a good long look at your conservative Republican self.

Stan, you are a smart guy, and you should know by now that these county schools are mostly run by Democratic, which sounds like it is the case in your Beaufort County, and no good Democratic is going to do business with you when they can place that business with some Democratic business, even if it is "far, far away," and for significantly more money. So, here is the solution even if it is a bit too late for the learning.

Why don't you drop all that integrity stuff that you just can't seem to quit, and join up with the Democratics? There you go, problem solved. You can then promise the moon, deliver so much less, and walk away far richer than you probably are now.

Or, be like that "Fake Frankie" fellow that I read about when that Hood fellow writes those articles that I also enjoy reading; then you get to stay a Republican, but vote like a Democratic; keep the local business, and who knows maybe these Democratic school fellows might even pay you the additional $"16,900.00" too much. Heck, its only the people's money, and when have Democratics ever cared about that inconvenient reality?

Of course, here in Wilkes County, Georgia, there is big change a happening, where Republicans are getting most of the vote now, and they are voting only for those real kind of Republicans like yourself, so that might not last too long if Beaufort County starts changing over to that real side of living as free folk.

I got another idea Stan, maybe you should move here. It is mighty pleasant in these north Georgia hills. Heck, I might even enjoy your company ... that is if you promise not to ever take my advice about that recent nonsense about you turning Democratic.

We could use another real Republican down here. You could be one of our county commissioners, plus most folks like doing business with you real types down here.

If you want to build your "platforms" down here too, you should not have any trouble doing business. On that, my friend, your little company is in a league of its own.

The gender transition nazis are making some interesting enemies, including the feminists and many homosexuals. Yet they arrogantly demand their way be accepted all through society. It is time for everyone to tell these pompous loons to get stuffed.
