Agencies like the CPSC and EPA need to be stripped of power to make law through bureaucratic regulations. They should not have the power to do things like this without Congress. Unelected bureaucrats are way too powerful and need to be chopped down to size. It is essentially facsist rule by decree.

I pray they don't just blow smoke at this but are serious to dig deep and hold all those responsible to the most the law will allow.

"Hold your nose and vote Republican" is not apolitical strategy. It is a RINO tool.

Let's not forget that RINO Senator Jim Perry of Kinston was a big player in pushing this leftwing boondoggle on North Carolina which will raise our electric rates and make rolling blackouts common. Unfortunately, redistricting has made this RINO our Senator, and we need a conservative opponent for him in 2024.

Why Locke has someone like this working on the green energy scam is beyond me. He has been part of it, so he is biased, and in the wrong direction, to be writing about it for a conservative organization.

This is Developing into my well considered resolution regarding the Resolutions yet to be presented (in a continued state of refinement).

Country Girl (who made a previous friendly comment): Your comment is exactly my point, stated in multiple measures within my resolution, one that I have re-read again after my public admonishment by the county commissioners (two of them so-called "Republicans"), with decades of "experience" on this Center-left controlled board. Incredibly, these struggling "Republicans" have multiple "qualities" in common, most notably: Not one of has ever written a word for the record in the form of their resolve to make a definable difference.

Also, and this could be my litmus test going forward: If a Republican, real or self-imagined, cannot fathom what I write from deep within me, which is the way I write my well considered resolutions, they shall consult with me, at my convenience, prior to its presentation for them to gain a better understanding, and if admonishment is still all that is mindlessly offered, that commissioner will have be treated in a manner conducive to their incurious nature.

If it is their nature, as commissioners who have made little effort to present such similar resolve on any single issue, who would rather lavish public admonishment upon their far more knowledgeable, far more senior commissioners of a like political party that once stood for tangible ideals, I have this new plan of purpose on how to deal with their kind.

Going forward, it will be in the continued best interest of my representation to my constituents to show more wisdom in the handling of issues of abject sophistry in a more direct manner. I see that clearly now.

Truly, as politicians find it so easily to bring so little wisdom to a profession that means so much; instead offering political shell games as their first strategy in representing YOU, I must take a measured, but more direct approach to discovering what is ultimately true in this political discourse that is the core of what we do.

"will ultimately leave our Good People in a precarious position of lower intellect, and unable to compete and defend itself in a competitive World economy."
Will also make them easier to control.

Sounds like a really good person for the job.

This guy is not very well informed. If he read the Daily Haymaker, he might learn something.

In the Republican governors primary, there are two top drawer candidate almost certain to get in and both have a following among GOP activists and the GOP base, Lt. Governor Mark Robinson and State Treasurer Dale Folwell. Mark would probably make the better candidate but Dale would make the better governor. Tillis apprears to badly want to run, but if he got the nomination, he would be an albatross around the neck of the whole GOP ticket. There is also a possibility of two other mediocre candidates running, former Congressman Mark Walker and failed former Governor Pat McCrory. Personally, I wish Folwell would keep his powder dry and run against Tillis in the 2026 Senate primary.

On the Council of State, this article missed one on Commissioner of Labor. Not only are liberal establishment Republican Jon Hardister and conservative Freedom Caucus member Representative Ben Moss running, but so is attorney Taylor Brooks, who is an opponent of Covid vaccine mandates. The article also misses what is sure to be a hot primary for Superintendant of Public Instruction. Incumbent Catherine Truitt, a McCrory moderate, has greatly disappointed the GOP base, beginning when she was sworn in and appointed a liberal Democrat as her top deputy. It has gone downhill from there, with her most recent scandal the firing of a professor at Governors School, which is run by DPI, for daring to give three optional lectures questioning CRT. It turns out that the woman Ttuitt has running Governors School is a hard core leftist. That will certainly be a major primary.

Then there is the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. The writer completely misses the real divide on this issue. It is between the Republican base which does not want this socialist program, and some GOP legislative leaders who want to pander to the special interests and pass it. Any Republican legislator who betrays the GOP base and votes for this piece of garbage needs a primary.

From this post one must admire the unbridled revelation of just discovered incredulity erupting from this reporter, of the disgraced and disrespected Corrupt New York Times, as he discovers that there is a border crisis that slowly began under Speaker Nancy Pelosi denying funding to fix the problem 4 years ago, to NOW when America's First Idiot President opened the Southern Border wide to record numbers of Illegals two years ago, and now America is under a full fledged undeterred invasion; and invasion planned to perfection by the Non Patriot Left.

Maybe we should all be thankful that small segments of the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media is being forced to observe the "humanitarian crisis for the immigrants," while disregarding the mammoth effects that the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border has caused upon the viability of our Republic, but I for one will only consider this New York Times reporter a little less STUPID than his peers.

Republicans in Washington and Republican governors have become a joke.

At this point: Do any real Republicans actually care what Richard Burr - www.beaufortcountynow.com - considers to be essential or true?
