Have we already forgotten the behavior of Jim Black? Do we not remember his secret meetings in IHOP bathrooms? We don’t know that such hijinks are involved in this SB 783 – but such legislation naturally lends itself to corruption.

I first heard about John Rhodes in 2003 while he was serving in the North Carolina House. He was raising questions about the ethics of Democrat House speaker Jim Black and his Republican co-conspirator co-speaker Richard Morgan.

Moore County's Richard Morgan has evolved into one of the most polarizing figures ever in North Carolina politics. Amazingly, during his time in the NC General Assembly, he was able to earn an equal amount of emnity from conservatives AND liberals.

We had an interesting conversation with a friend the other day that in retrospect we think worthy of disclosing here. Here's where we're headed with this: Thom Tillis is the favorite of the Democrats in North Carolina to win the Republican nomination for U. S. Senate

State House Speaker  -  and US Senate candidate  -  Thom Tillis has been quite talkative lately via email. He's tackled taxes and immigration, and has now moved on to the topic of Richard Morgan & Jim Black.

Is the state government of North Carolina illegitimate? Based on the volume of emails and Facebook messages I've received lately, liberal politicians and organizations are shopping the idea that the Republican-led legislature and McCrory administration lack the moral authority to enact...

Big Barry in DC and Speaker Thom are getting a real taste of what Tricky Dick Nixon went through in 1974. * It sure blows when people start raising a stink about your heavy-handed iron-fisted management style.*
