What is scary is that Biden and his autopen were well on the way to doing the same thing here.

What would cut down the backlog even more is to follow the asylum treaties that do not require asylum claims to even be considered when the migrant enters from a safe country. Mexico and Canada are considered safe countries, so all migrants who entered through either of those borders should have their asylum claims summarily dismissed. This is what Hungary does through a very quick procedure in front of a magistrate.

Has anyone filed a complaint about the misuse of our city police force by the mayor with the State Auditor? They should.

WOW. The chairwoman of the Beaufort County Republican Party has called for the immediate resignation of Mayor Sadler over his ordering the police department to conduct illegal political surveillance on his main political opponent.

What gives Mayor Sadler absolute power as the tin horn dictator of city government is his control of the city council through the Three Stooges of his political machine, three yes men who will follow his orders without question. They are Richard Brooks, Anthony Tyre, and Antwon Horton. Brooks is in his 80s and illiterate. He has to be told what to do because he cannot read or write. Tyre does not even really live in Washington. He only has a mail drop address downtown. It is well known that in the last election, he was really living in Aurora, and he now really lives in Greenville.

If voters want honest and efficient city government, not dictated to by the Sadler political machine, they need to clean house of the Three Stooges of the Sadler machine.

Given that Brabo is running as an Unaffiliated, I do not know if it would help or hurt her for the Republican Party to jump into her race. What Sadler is doing to her reminds me of what those in Russiagate did to Trump. Those things are disgusting and do not belong in American politics.

If what I am hearing is correct, it is not "the local Autocrats (Uniparty)". It is the Democrat leftwing political machine of Mayor Sadler and the local Deep State. They are trying to change the local government rules to shut down the business of Sadler's opponent in the mayor's race, and had the local police follow her around for months to surveil her. Using the police against your political opponents is something one would expect in Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, or some Third World banana republic, NOT in Washington, North Carolina, but it did happen here. Those responsible need to be tossed OUT on election day.

It is so good to see this. Michael Whatley is an absolute RINO. He is Tillis 2.0, and had in fact been recruited by Tillis to run for NCGOP chairman. Whatley has spent his life in the DC swamp, first as a junior US Senate staffer, then as a partner in a lobbying and public relations firm inside the DC beltway, prostituting to the special interests such as the solar energy grifters. That is absolutely NOT the background we need in a US Senator.

Waters gave money to a Democrat legislator who had a GOP opponent during his first run for county commissioner when he was a recently switched "Republican". He was caught in contributing to and supporting the Democrat nominee for sheriff in 2022.

This year, Waters is openly supporting the Cox challenge to our Republican incumbent sheriff. Cox also openly supported the Democrat nominee for sheriff in 2022. Cox's team also seems to be supporting the leftwing Democrat mayor of Washington, Sadler due to a number of houses that sport both Cox and Sadler signs. So Waters may be on the wrong side of that race, too.

I'm waiting for Waters to publish his political contribution list. But we've already got a representative sample of it.

Don't forget that RINO US Senate candidate Michael Whatley worked for the solar grifters in his lobbying and public relations firm. He is in bed with the devil on this issue, too, just like RINO Senator Thom Tillis has been. RINOs are just as bad as Democrats. And, yes, Phil Berger is an enemy of electric consumers on this issue, too.

Watch out North Carolina. Gov. Roy Cooper supported the same things on this climate scam as NJ Gov. Murphy and so does Josh Stein. The bad thing is that NC's own Green New Deal to shut coal power plants and replace them with wind and solar, HB951, was rammed through the legislature by RINO liberal Senate boss Phil Berger. Thanks of that buffoon Berger, NC is on the same path as NJ.

Buzz, what is so bad about a bedroom community? Greenville is only 30 minutes away AND, I can order anything I want or need from Amazon, Walmart, or the Business itself, via the internet. This is no longer the 90s. Washington is no longer isolated. Times have changed. Besides Greenville has become dangerous.
I once asked a man why he lived in Washington while his business was in Raleigh. He said because he can get from one end of town to the other with only 2 traffic lights. Its a few more now, but is still meaningful.
The problem with businesses, is that local govts cater to them, going so far as to let them step on the toes of the citizens just trying to live. Its part of the corruption. People with $$ get favors. Why? probably because those in Govt get favors in return. If you are just a taxpayer, then you are invisible to your local Govt, or you have become a target.
