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?
20% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.
80% 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.

GOP leaders from Thom Tillis to Skip Stam to Pat McCrory have bent over backwards to tell us what a great idea privately-managed toll roads are.

Kay Hagan's campaign and its trolls are all over social media trumpeting a report published in the Greensboro News & Record that says North Carolina "ranks as worst state for teachers."

The 2009 so-called "stimulus" passed by the Congress was one of the biggest budget-busting, deficit-growing, big-government, cronyism-enabling scams to ever come out of our capital city.

There are a lot of Republicans around who would LOVE to see a poll with a number next to Thom Tillis's name that is bigger than the number next to Kay Hagan's name.

Those of you who were hoping for a more aggressive strategy out of the Tillis campaign are likely going to be disappointed.

We reported about an "interesting" real estate deal involving Senate candidate Thom Tillis and some high-dollar donors to his campaign.

Now, it appears WCNC in Charlotte has found one more questionable scenario involving Tillis, some wealthy donors, their real estate deals, and the proposed I-77 toll lane project enthusiastically backed by Tillis.

Some internal docs at NCDOT are shedding some light on what happens to all of that money we shell out at the pump. For 2013-14, NCDOT got $4.4 BILLION in funding.

It appears that The Raleigh News & Observer has partnered with The Daily Kos in its political coverage.
 
Political prognosticator, cable TV talking head, and UVa political scientist Larry Sabato is seeing things trending Kay Hagan’s way this year.

The Prius-driving, low-T, latte-sipping NPR-swooning lefty-snobs at The Charlotte Observer, one of McClatchy's many failing media holdings in The Carolinas, are aghast that this state might become more like — *GASP* — Alabama.

Well, that didn’t take long. Mother Jones, the vanguard of leftist journalism, has jumped into the fray with an insinuation that Thom Tillis is a racist.

It's football season. One of the favorite stats of sports drive-bys is time of possession (a/k/a "time on offense.") The longer your team has the ball, the longer the other team is without the ball AND a chance to score points against you.

In DC, Barry Obama is preparing to go to war against the Islamic State. In Raleigh, Pat McCrory is barricaded inside his Blount Street residence preparing for battle against his fellow Republicans in the General Assembly.

Tillis campaign pollster Glen Bolger, whose firm is known by the unfortunate acronym POS, has released a poll showing the 2014 US Senate race all knotted up at 44 percent apiece.

That unemployment rate the drive-bys regularly quote to you is actually a percentage of the "workforce." In economics, the "workforce" is defined as that portion of the population, of working age, who are employed in civilian or military jobs.

I had to convince myself repeatedly that this was NOT a Saturday Night Live skit. The drive-bys subjected us AND the candidates with some moronic, leftist questions.

he drive-bys are working hard to gin up some interest in tonight's US Senate debate. They are trying to sell us on the possibility that this televised event tonight could change the course of the race.

I am still shaking my head in disbelief at Judge Hobgood's ruling judge that school vouchers are "unconstitutional."
 
House speaker Thom Tillis and his team, Gov. Pat McCrory, and scores of big names in the state's business establishment have been harping on the alleged importance of customized, special incentives to lure new business - from TV and movie productions to industry - to North Carolina.

Well, the effort to bring party disloyalty into the debate on HB 1224 blew up rather unceremoniously. Apparently, some "pain-in-the-ass-teabagger web site" spilled the beans before the plan could get underway.
