There have been different viewpoints on how to handle Covid from the beginning. See the Great Barrington Declaration by a group of prominent virologists and epidemiologists, for example, that is the polar opposite of Faucism. The problem is that those viewpoints, the ones that turned out to be correct, were politically suppressed, and that is what is dangerous. There is also a lot of lingering nonsense, like doctors who demonstration their ignorence by requiring masks on patients (but don't require them at medical conferences), and the continued vax requirement for foreign citizens to enter the US legally (that curiously does not apply if you sneak across the border).

Donna: It is still Deatherage, I am still a native of Beaufort County, and I am still a Conservative county commissioner.

Speaker Tim Moore never allowed the Parents Bill of Rights to come to the floor for a vote. After it passed the Senate, Moore used his power as Speaker to see that it stayed bottled up in committee until adjournment. Moore did Democrats a huge favor in doing that because that way, their members in close races did not have to vote on it, but he screwed his own candidates doing that.

The question is whether he will pull a similar stunt this time and kill it again. There is little doubt that his Deputy Chief of Staff is pushing for that, which would be a total betrayal of GOP voters.

Tim Moore and also Phil Berger are a "Fifth Column" within the GOP - the enemy within.

George Soros is an atheist, but other atheists should not be blamed for Soros' attacks on democracy and freedom. Other atheists are not the same totalitarian thugs that Soros is. Among those who have denounced Soros as a threat to democracy is the Foreign Minister of Israel.

Freedom of, and from, Religion is a real B*tch.

Or she is a nut spreading misinformation that could cost someone their life. Pretty clear to me.

Is it true that Tim Moore voted against the parents' bill of rights?
If so, we need a new speaker of the house.

WE do have a huge RINO problem in our legislative leadership. Tim Moore's pet homo activist is in a position to block a lot. That is why Speaker Moore deep sixed the Parents Bill of Rights last session and is likely to do it again this session. It is why we have no legislation likely to pass to protect children from genital mutilation and chemical castration. It is why we are likely not to see any legislation to protect women athletes from competition from men who say they think they are women. Tim Moore is the woke left's ace in the hole in NC, and always has been. He led the effort to repeal the bathroom privacy laws that protected women from men coming into their restrooms and locker rooms. Tim Moore has always been just a re-run of his predecessor as Speaker, Thom Tillis.

Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger is more puzzling. When McCrory was governor, Berger stood strong on conservative principles, but when Roy Cooper came to power, Berger flipped to pushing the liberal agenda. Does Cooper have something compromising on Berger? Does Berger have an offshore bank account that is being fed? Why this Jekyll and Hyde transformation? Has Berger simply been in Raleigh too long and gone native inside the beltway? In any event, Berger has become a poster boy for term limits.

Sorry Mr Deathridge, nice communistic move like the left trying to dumb down truth. Fix the glitch with your program. I only posted 3 comments and each was different with the last saying that Mr Richardson is going to be prayed for everyday. Have an awesome day!

Mr Richardson, yes, your comment is scary, I agree. So do you mind telling us to whom you’re spiritually accountable?

I was going to use an alias but I figured why bother!! Last time I made a comment I used an alias and everyone knew who I was and had my name published because of the person running this papers bias. Hood, I read your comment and I have important comments. #1: You are talking flippantly about “The pearly gates” when you yourself said that I follow a “mythical creature” who you referred God to. So please… don’t use God & Godly mentions or referrals of Him in your political spins!! You only talk about “religious things” when you want people to have a reverence for you and your opinion. You’re loosing your grip on people whose eyes are being opened to you. When I read part of this I agreed, educating people on the importance of local politics was awesome. Hats off to you. But that quickly turned to my head spinning from the “crap” & lies you’re telling people about the only true BC Republican GOP in NC. I have attended these meetings & it was NOT stated like you said. Stop lying!

That's GREAT news!! I think as time passes we will see more that flip sides. The Democratic Party stands against Christianity in everything they believe in nowadays.

Your far left narrative is NOT the truth, Bobbie. Everything below about Soros is IN FACT TRUE. You constantly come on here and confuse the far left narrative as "the truth". It is NOT. Not even close.

But Soros funds lots of left wing ideologues who try to pass themselves off as "fact checkers" to claim the leftwing narrative is "the truth". They New York Post had a long article about that a few weeks ago.
