Yeah, that weird Settewongse dude reminds me of that buffoon Graham Plattner the Democrats have running for US Senate in Maine.

What a disgrace. Our city council is a three ring circus; you have Tyre always trying to channel Idi Amin, and Perrault constantly channeling Benedict Arnold. Tyre is part of that Sadler machine that sent the thugs to hang around outside and then inside Nick Fritz' restaurant to harass his customers and staff and then to go to his house to intimidate his children in a rotten scheme to force Fritz off the council. Perrault is the guy who ran on the Tax Cut Team, but then started palling around with tax-and-spend kingpin Tyre, and has now voted for a big TAX INCREASE. Perrault seems to be making himself into Tyre in whiteface.

Washingtonian, there is a term for politicians like Tyre, and that is Powerbully.

It appears Joe Davis is the last man standing on the "Tax Cut Team."

Here's what they're REALLY saying:

"We're going after anyone who is critical of Israel, US Foreign Policy and the President. You shall not question anything unless we instruct you to do so."

Look up the SHALOM Act that passed here in NC a couple of years ago....this is just one example

American Democrats and British Labour are the same breed of cat on DEI, which is nothing but racial discrimination against white people.

These lousy Obama judges, and Biden judges, care nothing about Americans or about the law, only about their own party's far left ideology and pandering to illegal aliens. We need a quick way to take them all out of office. Maybe they should all be indicted for treason?

Any local government that puts all this severance pay nonsense in contracts with career bureaucrats is betraying their taxpayers. In state and federal government, policy level management serves at the pleasure of the policymakers, and that is the way local governments should operate. The golden parachute that the Sadler machine gave to their city manager flunky was a violation of state law, and it is an outrage that the current city government is not trying to claw that back for our taxpayers.

How despicable! What Tillis is doing is auditioning to the special interests to try to be their lobbyist when he leaves office. He is throwing the Republican Party and his protege Whatley under the bus to do it.

Just when I had about gotten to the point I could hold my nose for Whatley, a RINO who would be Tillis 2.0, the original Tillis is now making that much more difficult. Roy Cooper is terrible, and I wish we had a real alternative like Don Brown would have been.

John, that is not the worst thing. They limited their search to career bureaucrats and shut out those with private sector management experience. Private sector managers strive for efficient cost-effective operations while career bureaucrats tend to be empire builders who care nothing about efficiency. They sought absolutely the wrong qualifications in a county manager, and , well, they found them.

"Complaint Sparks US Dept of Education Title IX Investigation into NC School District

WASHINGTON, DC – May 13, 2026, America First Legal (AFL) filed a formal complaint with the US Dept of Ed and the US Dept of Justice, alleging that policies enacted by Cabarrus County Schools (CCS) in Concord, NC, violate Title IX, FERPA, and the US Constitution. The Dept of Ed’s Office for CivilRights (OCR) announced that it launched an investigation in response to AFL’s complaint.

AFL’s complaint exposed CCS’s policies permitting “gender expansive and transgender students” to access sex-segregated intimate facilities based on “gender identity” rather than biological sex. One female student attending Cox Mill High School raised concerns during a public school board meeting that a biological male student “identifying” as female participated on the girls’ football and basketball cheer teams and used the girls’ locker rooms & restrooms."
