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.

"Great News on Jobs" crowed The Washington Post. The government reports that 236,000 jobs were "created" in February and the unemployment rate fell from 7.9 to 7.7 percent.

Instead of DOING their constitutionally-mandated job of passing a budget, the GOP-dominated House has decided to play along with the Ruling Class's never-ending cycle of continuing resolutions -- guaranteeing another "crisis" at the end of September.

We've got an interesting dilemma here in Moore County. Our local paper is owned and operated by veteran Democrat Party fundraisers and strategists.

The establishment and the MSM have worked hard to slander and defame Tea Partiers in the eyes of their low-information audiences. The Washington Post -- yep, THEM -- suggests that the GOP needs to treat The Tea Party like Slick Willie Clinton treated that skank Sista Souljah back in 1992.

The hottest trend these days among mainstream media-types is to publish names and addresses of people who have concealed-carry permits. WRAL and a newspaper in NY tried it -- and got burned.

Walter Jones, Jr. has got quite a cult following. The folks who read "Mother Jones" AND The Ron Paul fan club are both swooning over him.

We've said our peace in opposition to the NC General Assembly's campaign to increase unemployment taxes for employers across the state. We've received SOME criticism over that position -- even from alleged conservatives -- sniffing that the increase is a mere "pittance"
