Michael Whatley is another one of the RINOs to watch on the Green New Deal. Whatley's lobbying and public relations firm worked for Big Solar promoting this "green energy" garbage. It would be useful to have a list of all of the special interests that Whatley prostituted for during the years he was a "Beltway Bandit" in the lobbying / PR business inside the Washington, DC beltway.

Illegal immigration is a huge issue in most European countries and the citizens are fed up with it. The Czech Republic is just the latest example.

Fantastic news!
More than two dozen Planned Parenthood facilities across the country in recent months have announced plans to shut down amid funding concerns caused by new federal rules that prevent the abortion giant from receiving Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements.

Beaufort County has proved it cannot be trusted here recently with the Industrial Park South in Chocowinity, when it allows that industrial park to continue to exist as zoned Light Industrial rather than Heavy Industrial, which is the natural zoning for any property with natural gas, US Highway frontage and rail.

This property is barely in the Chocowinity ETJ, and took a special act of the Beaufort County Commissioners to allow such back in 2006.

Washington has a brazen liar for a city manager, who wantonly lied to the citizens when he claimed that the city had not imposed a tax increase this year. In truth, the manager's budget, adopted by a rubber stamp city council, gave city taxpayers a whopping 28% tax increase.

In revaluation years like this one, state law calculates a "revenue neutral" rate, one that would produce the same amount of revenue as the old tax rate based on the increased value of property. Any tax rate above that revenue neutral rate is, by state law as well as by the reality of what taxpayers have to pay, a tax increase.

The county adopted the revenue neutral rate for this year's taxes based on the rate calculated by state law. The City of Washington adopted a rate 28% above the revenue neutral rate. That is a massive tax increase.

Washington's city government is in a sad state of affairs. Not only does the city manager exercise way too much power for a bureaucrat, but the city council is a patheric joke. They are nothing but rubber stamps for Mayor Sadler, nothing but weak "yes men". Between the manager and the mayor, Washington has a Tammany Hall style government.

But the city manager had better watch out. Sadler would love to get rid of him so he can hire the city's first black city manager. With Sadler, it is as much about race as it is about power.

There has been an undercurrent of conversations, within certain wings of conservative thinkers, about currency and the smokescreen of the whole Nesara/Gesara rabbithole.

Within the "conspiracy theory" of this alleged legislation there are a few points that the general public have no clue of. Cryptocurrency was known about and used in the late 80's-early 90's in halls of governments....but was rarely mentioned in public media.

There's good and bad in everything BUT most of the known history of cryptocurrency is often associated with untraceable money being created for dark web use...which is also allegedly untraceable.

The Central Banks will purposely tank the fiat dollar to bring in a variation of cryptocurrency....backed by the same thing as the fiat dollar....nothing. They set the price for everything: gold, silver, exotic previous metals. It's a stacked deck being sold as a chance at economic freedom.

Too many are biting, man. They refuse to listen to common sense reason.

A radical judge with no legal basis for taking a political action falling back on the race card for an excuse shows what is horribly wrong with our federal courts. The Rule of Law is replaced by the political whims of judges. The only way to save our federal judiciary is to start removing rogue judges like this one from office.

This issue has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with the excuse for letting these particular nationalities stay in our country is long since over with.

Here is how the Medicaid scam works for illegal aliens. They are supposed to only be entitled to "emergency Medicaid" for a few months to cover an acute emergency situation. However, liberal social workers often just keep extending that indefinitely for chronic conditions, so it becomes like regular Medicaid. That should not be allowed and social workers who authorize that should be at minimum fired and perhaps even jailed.

For example, dialysis is a costly medical service and must be done frequently and regularly. There are illegal aliens right here in eastern North Carolina who are on dialysis and they routinely get their "emergency" Medicaid renewed. What we should do is give them dialysis once or twice on maybe even a month or two, and then require them either to go back to their home country for dialysis or find a charity that will pay for it. The taxpayers should NOT. Similarly if an illegal alien is diagnosed with cancer, he should get a plane ticket home for treatment, not medical services at the expense of the Aemrican taxpayer.

Giving AI more power is NOT a smart thing to do nor is it something to triumphantly boast about.

President Trump is screwing up and screwing himself big time. Will the GOP and MAGA give him a pass on this OR will they start asking why in the hell he brags about programs that will actually further enslave America?

I'm telling y'all.....I've got a bad feeling.

NC has too many RINOs a/k/a "Undocumented Democrats" who pander to the solar and wind grifters. Berger is just one of them. Thom Tillis is another, as is Tillis' protege Michael Whatley. Whatley's lobbying / public relations firm pushed this solar boondoggle. These people are as big of enemies of the North Carolina consumer as the Democrats are.
