That despicable scoundrel Tillis refuses to back conservative Republicans for key positions but then backs a crooked liberal Democrat to keep her job although clearly her corruption impacts the very job she is supposed to do. We need to be rid of Tillis, and also of his understudy, longtime special interest lobbyist Michael Whatley. I voting for Don Brown in the Senate primary.

Word has it that recently retired Superior Court Judge Jerry Tillet, a conservative, may seek this senate seat that Sen. Hanig is leaving. He would be a good replacement. Hanig is what we need in Congress, NOT either of the Sandies.

Just an opinion, MY opinion, from the top of the dome here:

The whole situation between Israel and Gaza is a sh**show that needs t stopped; Trump playing both sides and court

Anyone that had anything to do with the attempt to shut down the shrimping industry should not only be shunned but also be run out of politics on a rail.

Stan, I listened to table talk. Thanks for your time doing this.
I think this should be done EVERY WeeK until the election. We need to know more!! Time is short and this election is critical. We cant afford another corrupt Govt.
Lastly, You should invite us to send you OUR questions. I want to know what these candidates think the role of the City Manager is? The current Council thinks the City Manager is there to do their thinking for them. All Council meetings are choregraphed. Its just a performance, even the motions are written by the City Manager's "Team Players," for the Council members to read. I suspect they dont even know what they are reading, and the decision for how they vote has been pre-planned by "The Staff." "The Staff" is code word for the Manager's henchmen. We need new blood who will promise to do the work and think for themselves. I fear the new, will be the same as the old.

What idiot politicians would raise property taxes 28% in one year, all with an expanding tax base?

These corrupt courts looked the other way when the Biden regime cancelled border wall construction that the first Trump administration already had paid for and was under construction. Now these lousy judicial insurrectionists of Biden and Obama judges are trying to hamstring President Trump at every turn. Their highly political decrees border on treason. It is time Trump did what Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln did and just ignore them. Lincoln even issued an order for the arrest of a senior judge. These interfering judges need to be told to stuff their stinking gavels where the sun does not shine.

If you like high electric rates, you will love the Democrats and RINOs and their War on Coal. HB951 was a travesty, and backstabbing Phil Berger pandering to Roy Cooper and to the woke utility monopoly Duke Energy is why it was foisted upon us in a last minute cram down.

Electing these three to the Washington City Council would be a giant step in the right direction toward fixing the enormous problems in Washington government. The Lord only knows how much worse things could get with the current crowd running things.

The Hood is right, and we both agree as county commissioners, Beaufort County's School Board and its administration need so much help, far too often, and on so many issues, but there are no solutions that revolve around providing more public money ... They have plenty of the public's money, probably too much of the public's money.

They need to make sure the signature on the auto pen was actually Joe Biden's signature. There is some question to it being forged which would make everything signed by auto pen invalid.

We all knew this would happen once normal returned to the public square, but still, I ask: Are there at the point where we are normal enough?

I offer that we are not.
