Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

98.85% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

1.15% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

House Speaker indicates they are going to restore the Teaching Fellows program

    The News & Observer is reporting that House Speaker Thom Tillis has said that cutting the N. C. Teaching Fellows program was a mistake. Moreover, it is reported that he has said he has asked his staff to find a way to keep the program going.

    We think that is a good thing. We said back in June that we did not believe cutting this program was a wise thing for the state to do. While we don't know if that had anything to do with the Speaker's change of heart, we do commend him for being willing to take another look at it and for the conclusion he has apparently come to.

    Now that the leadership has corrected the error on the Teaching Fellows they should now turn their attention to re-funding the dual enrollment programs which were also cut in the last budget. Our arguments in the link above still remain true. The dual enrollment programs are one of the best innovations in many years and they save not only the state but parents a great deal of money. They too should be restored and promoted.

    But congratulations Mr. Speaker for having the character to admit that the budget cutters made a mistake.
