In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?
18.18% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.
81.82% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.
0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.

First, it was Thom Tillis who told us he could represent the people of his legislative district, serve as speaker of the House, AND run for the US Senate all without any problem - ethical or otherwise.

One of the biggest questions surrounding the US Senate candidacy of Charlotte pastor Mark Harris is how he got tied up with Robin Hayes - former congressman, former NCGOP chairman, Tea Party nemesis and proud member of the liberal Ripon Society.

Well, it appears Walter Jones is picking up another primary opponent.
 
McClatchy has been writing gleefully about Attorney General Roy Cooper's criticisms of the GOP-dominated legislature and Governor Pat McCrory.

Egged on by Kay Hagan — our senior US senator who also, BTW, happens to be Chuck Schumer’s sock puppet — Barry Obama has dispatched his attorney general Eric Holder to sue North Carolina over its new law requiring photo ID to vote in the state’s elections.

Never mind silly things like reports showing North Carolinians being hit hardest by ObamaCare. Richard Burr and Kay Hagan care more about keeping their party caucus leaders happy.

The turmoil within the Craven County Republican Party is a symbolic, localized representation of the nationwide struggle between limited-government forces and statist establishment types for the soul of the GOP.

We’re less than a week away from the launch of ObamaCare. Nancy Pelosi said that we needed to pass the bill, in order to find out what’s in it. As we get closer to implementation, we’re finding out the gory details

We’ve got a huge milestone in the fight against ObamaCare today. Dingy Harry is calling a vote on cloture — ending debate on the continuing resolution and moving forward on a vote.

The GOP establishment has been rolling its collective eyes dismissively at those of us fighting tooth and nail to stop ObamaCare. Now, they're ready to help Big Barry jack up the federal debt even further.

Yep. That's our girl - spouting more of her trademark profundity.
 
Senator Ted Cruz has fulfilled his election promise to do everything it takes to stop Obamacare. To that end, he has commenced a talking filibuster against the budget CR, which Harry Reid plans to use as a conduit for reinserting funding to Obamacare.

It appears that Raleigh-based radio talk show host Frank Roche will be jumping into the 2014 Second Congressional District GOP primary. The district is currently represented by Republican Renee Ellmers of Dunn.

Well, House Republicans got dragged kicking and screaming into doing the right thing on ObamaCare. Now, it's the Senate's turn to step up.

I am sure Renee Ellmers thought it would be a pretty cushy event. Gatherings in Pinehurst tend to be very cordial, polite, docile, civil affairs. (Especially if cocktails are being served.)

The GOP-dominated House passed a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the cash flowing to the federal government while, reportedly, defunding ObamaCare. And Republicans were ready to crow.

I've been watching politics in this state for quite some time and I CANNOT recall any prior administration in Raleigh having its appointees subjected to such invasive public scrutiny.

Boy, this establishment crowd is starting to make us look quite prescient.
 
By now, politics-watchers are well familiar with the story of Todd Akin, the GOP challenger to Missouri senator Claire McCaskill (D) in 2012.

Make no mistake - we are NOT exactly "fans" of the welfare state here. In our opinion, the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) could collapse into a giant sinkhole - never to be seen again - and the world would be a better place.

After our reporting came out, the AP confirmed that - as we said - (1) Harris is being advised by longtime Robin Hayes advisor Tom Perdue and that (2) a formal campaign announcement will be made on October 2.

We've got a unique situation here in Moore County. We are one of the most reliably Republican counties in the state. Yet, our only local paper is owned and operated by the same Democrat operatives who owned and operated The Raleigh News & Observer for years.

I spoke with a well-placed Tea Party activist based in The Second Congressional District who confirmed for me what has been one of the region's worst kept secrets for some time: Renee Ellmers is getting a primary opponent.
