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.

News Release:

    Raleigh, N.C.     As storms continue to move across the state, Governor Pat McCrory is cautioning residents to remain alert during the overnight hours when storms can be most deadly. He urged North Carolinians to keep their mobile phones charged and weather radios on and close by so they could continue to receive tornado or severe storm warnings through the night.

    "We've been fortunate so far with no reports of serious injuries or widespread damages, but we're not out of the woods yet," said Governor McCrory. "We've seen before how deadly overnight storms can be. Please continue to stay tuned to the weather and heed directions from your local officials."

    Severe thunderstorms will continue to move eastward through this evening before diminishing in intensity tonight. A Tornado Watch remains in effect for much of eastern North Carolina until 11 p.m. Gusty winds will persist tonight and Thursday as skies clear behind the cold front.

    As nighttime falls across the state, North Carolina Emergency Management officials recommend that you update your ReadyNC mobile app and review with family members the safest place for refuge in your home.

    During tornado warnings, North Carolina Emergency Management officials remind you to go to a basement, under the stairs or to an interior room on the lowest floor. Stay away from windows and put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. People in modular homes should seek shelter in a sturdy building.

    If driving, you should leave your vehicle immediately to seek safety in an adequate structure. Do not try to outrun a tornado in your vehicle, and do not stop under an overpass or a bridge.

    As of 7 p.m., there were fewer than 120,000 power outages with most outages reported in Forsyth, Gaston, Guilford, Mecklenburg and Wake counties.

    More information on tornadoes and overall emergency preparedness can be found in the ReadyNC mobile app and online at www.ReadyNC.org. Be sure to update your ReadyNC app to ensure it has all the latest features.
