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.

The Supreme Propagandist at The N&O, John Drescher, says Gov. Pat called him and his colleagues DUMB this week. Really? Let's look at what McCrory said:

Hagan bemoaned the way Congress waits for deadlines to act. She said Speaker of the House John Boehner needs to, essentially, write off the 64 Tea-Party-style Republicans who are blocking compromise measures in the House and move legislation that other Republicans can pass with support from House De

It's sadly no surprise to hear of a Washington politician coming down on both sides of an issue. But it is surprising when you find out it we're talking about Renee Ellmers, and the IT is the defunding of ObamaCare.

That's the money quote straight from Congressman Bob Pittenger's big mouth during his do-over town hall in Matthews last night. Not much better than the first go around.

I was out at a social gathering last night, when I overheard a conversation that bothered me. These were some folks I know - low info voters who are moderate to conservative in their politics - who I know voted for Pat McCrory in 2012.

Apparently, Bob Pittenger wants a do-over. The Charlotte area congressman didn't handle his last attempt at a town hall meeting very well. He ended up putting himself in the crosshairs of the Tea Party - and most North Carolinians - on the issue of ObamaCare.

It's getting pretty clear that Tea Party-affiliated groups and voters are warming up to Cary physician Greg Brannon and his campaign for the GOP nomination for US Senate.

It's a sad statement about the current state of public education when the person responsible for administering our local school system has such a poor grasp on reality.

McClatchy Rob is just beside himself. According to his headline today, college students are going to have to work harder. (To vote, that is.) *Apparently, working harder is a bad thing, these days.*

Richard Burr, Renee Ellmers and Bob Pittenger - take note. It would appear that Mitch McConnell and John Boehner are blowing smoke up your posteriors.

Gov. Pat McCrory took our advice and signed that voter ID bill passed by the General Assembly. Kudos to him. The bill didn't go as far as I would like to see it go, but something is better than nothing.

Boy, have Boehner and his folks got their talking points down.

US Senator Kay Hagan - affectionately known in some parts as Chuck Schumer's Sock Puppet™ - found her way out of the sock drawer this week to meet with the slow-pitch softballers on The Fayetteville Observer's editorial staff.

Charlotte's rookie congressman has apparently decided that pleasing John Boehner and Eric Cantor is more important than saving the country and protecting the folks back home.

NCGOP HQ and McClatchy spent the day trumpeting the hiring of Todd Poole as the state party's new executive director. I would be willing to bet that a lot of Republicans in Davidson County are not cheering the news.

DGeatWhile leading Republican officials are ignoring the party platform and surrendering on important issues like ObamaCare and Common Core, the North Carolina Republican Party and its chairman have set their sights on the host of a little-watched public television program.

It's getting harder and harder to defend our new Republican governor here in North Carolina.
 
Well, we had about six or so feminazis standing outside the governor's mansion on Monday waving signs and hollering. Gov. Pat's team thought it would be funny to take them some cookies.
