Unfortunately, such results are to be expected when the GOP runs very weak candidates at the top like Whatley and Stevens. You cannot lose statewide races by nearly 20 points and not see it show up lower down the ticket. The "leaders" in Washington, DC and Raleigh who pushed Whatley on us bear the responsibility for this disaster. Whatley ran a terrible campaign. If they had any integrity, they would already have turned in their resignations.

Democrat election frauds have been going on for a long time. Mayor Daley's Chicago and the Tammany Hall machine in New York are good examples. The 1960 election theft was probably pulled off in Daley's Chicago. What happened in 2020, was that Democrats figured out how to use Covid as an excuse to hijack our elections.

To be fair, we have had honest Democrats on election integrity. President Jimmy Carter, for example, led a national commission that pointed out the mail-in ballots were the most prone to fraud, and urged that mail-in balloting be minimized.

Too many Democrat judges seem to think that foreign citizens ought to vote because these shysters are entering orders that, in effect, allow them to do so. This one particular judge said it in so many words.

You are probably one of those fools, Bolshevik Bob, who think that is where the violence now afflicting Europe is coming from, but we know the real source, the illegal alien migrants and the far left. ANTIFA is highly engaged. That is exactly what should be expected here.

If you read the article, the DSA wants to trigger Trump to carck down at a point where they think it will benefit them. Remember that that head of the DSA himself has proclaimed that "our goal is communism". I would not at all be surprised if that is your goal, too.

Don't expect TDS to win for the far left. It may have worked nationally in Canada for Carney, but it just blew up in the face of the socialists in the province of British Columbia, where Conservatives won the province for the first time since 1928 and by a landslide.

On election integrity, Third World countries like India and Brazil can produce election results in hours, buy it takes crooked California many days. That is just glaring.

When Republican observers and Democrat officials agree that 30% of mail-in ballot requests are bogus, then that shows some pretty serious cheating in the process, no matter who wins.

And you keep ignoring that it was none other than Democrat President Jimmy Carter who pointed out that the voting method most rone to fraud is mail-in voting.

Here is how slack our voter registration system really is. As a prank someone registered notorious Atlanta political hack DA Fani Willis to vote in New York City and gave her address as Trump Towers. www.thegatewaypundit.com

Crooked Obama and Biden federal district judges are doing all they can, abusing their power for political purposes, to keep foreign citizens on the voter rolls for this election. They judges are a disgrace to their robes and need to be removed from the bench.

Democrats also blocked the SaveAemrica Act that over 70% of Americans support. That bill would have cracked down on foreign citizens voting in our elections. Obviously Democrat politicians and Democrat judges want to see this election fraud continue because they think it benefits them.

Your "facts" leave out that former police chief's wife. There was a lot of discussion back at the time among Washington PD officers about how West was made the fall guy for what she did, while she copped a misdemeanor plea and probation.

Standard DA procedure in sex charges is to indict for a heavy duty felony and then offer a plea to a lesser felony. The defendant then has to decide if he wants to risk the jury believing the DA's spiel. A guilty plea in those circumstances often is a result of minimizing risk rather than actual guilt.

Plus Roy Cooper had a close political relationship with the head of the LGBTQ Chamber in Charlotte, who was convicted in South Carolina of child rape of three young boys in South Carolina. Cooper campaigned with that dude to change the law to allow biological males to enter the bathrooms and locker rooms of girls and women.

The Starshield speed is still being restricted over Ukraine's own territory to Ukraine's forces. This means Ukraine's defensive interceptors against Russia's jet powered Gerand attack drones don't work to protect Ukraine civilians, including children and the elderly who are being slaughtered in their homes. As long as these restrictions continue, our White House is becoming an accessory of Putin's war crimes against civilians. This all started downhill with Russian sympathizers Kushner and Witkoff who need to be FIRED IMMEDIATELY. Kushner and Witkoff just want to do profitable deals with Putin for themselves.

Ronald Reagan freed eastern Europe from Russian control, and now Trump seems to want to undo that. IF Trump keeps on this path, he can get stuffed.

Tillis is an idiot. He is particularly pissed off about his RINO buddy Cornyn, who is a liberal on quite a few issues, lost the primary. Ken Paxton is a longtime Reagan conservative and will make a great senator. MAGA and Reagan conservatism have more in common than differences.

Covid was a Democrat directed disaster. What hurt us was the insane lockdowns. The states and countries that did NOT lockdown and allowed life to continue, from Sweden to Florida ended up with lower Covid deaths and kept their economies going. Only morons like NC Fuehrer, err, Governor Roy Cooper hurt their economies and also public health by severe lockdowns. Thankfully in our state, Rep. Keith Kidwell took the bull by the horns and arranged lawsuits where federal judges reopened our churches and many businesses, overruling dictatorial Cooper.

As to the idiotic "Inflation Reduction Act", it was nothing but the Green New Deal in disguise, which, yes, raised our electric rates, INCREASING inflation.

Bob, the people - the voters - of Beaufort County have never supported limited voting, When it became public that the Democrat commissioners had proposed and agreed to this in a backroom deal, there was a huge public furor against it, It was so strong that the commissioners tried to undo what they had done, but the court would not let them out of it. The public has hated it from the very beginning. You are clearly not from Beaufort County or you would understand these things.

No. Bob, the high price of refined petroleum including diesel is not a crude oil supply problem. It is a refinery capacity problem. That has come from environmental extremists pushing against new refineries and trying to close existing ones. It also comes from Russia going from a big exporter of diesel to an importer due to Ukrainians blowing up their refineries with drone strikes. That impacts the world market in refined petroleum In the US, the closure of refineries due to environmentalist pressure has been centered in California, where four refineries have closed or stopped processing petroleum.

Bob, the discussion is about illegal aliens, not "immigrants". Federal law, the US COde, defines "immigrant" as a person who is properly going through the immigration process, not a border jumper. A border jumper is defined in law as an "illegal alien'. If you do not like that term, then "migrant" will do. Please do not insult real immigrants, the ones who do it the right and legal way by lumping border jumpers in with them.

Harboring an illegal alien is against federal criminal law, and those who do so should be prosecuted. It does not matter what they "look like" or how rich they are. Haul enough of them into criminal court, and I think it will put a stop to that nonsense.

At least, in the US, federal law does not allow illegal aliens to get welfare, although too many liberal states try to thwart that law and give it to them anyway. In Germany, 61% of welfare payments go to "asylum seekers".

By the way, calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is about like calling a street corner drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist."

Disgusting liberal Thom Tillis has been a disgrace to NC since he first appeared on the political scene. He can get stuffed. There are very good reasons why Tillis was censured by the NC state Republican convention. The sooner Tillis is our of politics the better.

The left made claims like that as excuses for imposing Obamacare. but from what I have personally observed, it is a bogus claim. I have known a fair number of people who got cancer or other serious illnesses during the pre-Obamacare period, and not a one of them had their insurance cancelled.

What kills patients so often under government run medicine is very long waiting lists. I remember an article in a British newspaper on the subject that used the cases of three cancer patients as an example. All were diagnosed by the National Health service (NHS) with the same type of cancer at the same stage. One mortgaged his house and sought care at a private British hospital outside the HHS. He received timely treatment and recovered. A second borrowed money and sought care in India. He received timely treatment and recovered. The third waited his turn on the NHS waiting list, and by the time they got to him, he was told he had become terminal and it was pointless to operate. He died.

There is a reason that just about all senior doctors who work for the British NHS buy private medical insurance so they can get decent care in the private health system. They do not want to rely on the system they work in. They know its flaws. Fortunately, the UK allows a private system to continue to exist beside the government system. Canada does not do that.
