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.

'Largest expansion of entitlements in state history'

Press Release:

    RALEIGH     A statement from Donald Bryson, President of the John Locke Foundation:

    In what can only be deemed as the largest expansion of entitlements in state history, the Republican-majority legislature has decided to saddle North Carolina taxpayers with significant financial burdens and drive up healthcare wait times for our state's neediest and most vulnerable citizens.

    This course reversal on Medicaid expansion is hugely disappointing. For years, the fiscally conservative legislature has stuck to sound economic principles. Their assertions that expansion will end if it becomes fiscally untenable is a pipe dream. Expanding entitlements while cutting taxes is a recipe to turn North Carolina from the national tax reform model to the disappointment of Kansas's fiscal failures.

    In addition, their failure to meaningfully address supply-side problems will only exacerbate the statewide healthcare shortage and drive up wait times and costs for the general public.

    Although the House and Senate's agreement is purported to include some Certificate of Need reform, North Carolinians will remain short of access to care without a full CON repeal.

Considering the renewed and unequalled dishonesty in elected politicians, at all levels of governing, and their associative nefarious bureaucrats doing their corrupt bidding: What is your opinion of YOUR government, and what do you intend to do about it?

Today's overall government is just fine, and I will continue to vote for politicians that make promises to suit my individual needs.

Today's overall government is poor, but I will continue to endeavor to learn what is true from the the most honest of media, and pick those representatives that best represent what is good and decent.

I spend quite a bit of time on Eastern NC NOW; so ... I am having a far easier time separating the proverbial "wheat from the chaff" in finding honorable citizens to support.
