WHile Obamacare had some similarities to Romneycare, it actually was a tweaking of Hillarycare. All of these socialized medicine halfway houses are a nightmare. Romneycare is a huge reason Mitt Romney should NEVER have been a GOP nominee.

Another huge factor in Obamacare getting off the ground is that the pro-China traitor Mitch McConnell refused to fight it in the Senate. McConnell, as usual, was prostituting his office to special interests instead of representing Republican voters.

And Little Bobbie has totally misrepresented his earlier post, which can easily be seen by scrolling down to it.

I guess everything is about race to a race hustler like Bobbie, but our Obamacare mess is NOT. It is about a longterm scheme by leftwing Democrats to capture our health system. Their first big play was HillaryCare during the Clinton regime but that bombed. Those who concocted what later became known in popular culture as "Obamacare" were actually white leftists, many of them retreads from HillaryCare.

All of the regulations and rules of Obamacare are what led to the mass centralization of our health care, including health insurance, that destroyed choice for American consumers. Here in Beaufort County, we had two independent hospitals prior to OBamcare, but post Obamacare, Vidant in Greensville bought both and closed one. Vidant also bought up many of what had been independent doctors offices. All of that was driven by Obamacare, and that consolidation is not good for consumer choice. Similarly many of the insurance companies that used to offer health insurance got out of that business after Obamacare, and that also destroyed consumer choice.

HillaryCare would have done exactly the same. That was all predictable since that had also been the result of Australia's government medicine program called Medicare, which had also seen massive consolidation and centralization in health care, to the point that a subsequent govenrment that looked into ending Medicare (the Australian equivalent of Obamacare) found that all of the centralization that had occured made it impossible to go back to what had previously worked better for Australians.

Oh, and as to those insurance companies, I am sure you will find their stockholders are of all races, and so are their employees. This is NOT a racial issue, dude.

Given how screwed up our state Board of Elections has become under 8 years of Democrat control, it is no wonder that the legislature has moved it from the governor's office to the state auditor, where it will be under Republican control. Now finally, we can hope they will comply with federal election laws that are designed to promote election integrity and make cheating harder.

This should be a wakeup call on how Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a threat to privacy and freedom. Many states, including North Carolina are passing laws to require that for government transactions, cash must still be accepted. There is legislation in Congress that needs to be passed to prohibit the Federal Reserve from proceeding with its CBDC project.

If we only had CBDC, the government could find out erverything about anyone they wanted. We are already seeing how government can coerse banks to giving up this info on political opponents.

Musk has revealed that the DOGE will not make any cuts to Social Security or Medicare, two programs whose recipients have been paying into all their working lives.

This congressional report had the China-dominated World Health Organization pegged correctly. President Trump needs to cut off US contributions and get us out of that WHO mousetrap.

Dale Folwell has been a great State Treasurer and would have made a great governor. That Briner is anti-Folwell tells you everything you need to know about him. He is as phony as a three dollar bill and is nothing but a Democrat in false Republican clothing.

The utter corruption of Big Tech censorship is illustrated by the way they colluded with the MSM to throw the 2020 presidential election by actively suppressing the true story on the Hunter Biden laptop. This was done entirely for political purposes and according to polling data changed the outcome of the election. This should never be allowed to happen again. Our country has suffered a lot of misery as a result. Those who censor information like that need to go to prison for a long, long, long time, Censorship is un-American and it should be severely punished.

Hurricanes can take out electric power temporarily by taking out the electric transmission lines, but those can be restored reasonably quickly. Conventional power is much more robust. Coal, oil, gas, and nuclear power plants do not go down and are there to supply power when the lines get put back up. The left is trying to make our electric grid much more vulnerable to hurricanes by switchin to power sources, wind and solar, that are extremely vulnernable to the powers of a hurricane. Thousands of solar panels and dozens of wind turbines were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Helene. They take a lot longer to replace, many months, than the power lines. The more dependant our electric grid gets on wind and solar, the more vulnerable we are to long term, months long, blackouts from hurricanes.

"Climate change" or "global warming" is another red herring of the globalists.

These Democrat election officials are sloppy on purpose because it makes it easier for their party to cheat.

No, Bobbie, what Will presents is actual science, unlike the self serving science fiction of the climate alarmists.

It seems to me that it would be efficient and cost effective for the school board to maintain a list of the email addresses of those who want to receive notices and full agendas, and then someone at the central office could hit a button, say a week before the meeting, to send notices to those people.

The parade of prominent scientists who debunk the global warming / climate change narrative in the British TV documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" which was broadcast nationally in the UK on Channel 4 explain clearly why "fossil fuel emissions" have nothing to do with climate.

The facts are here: www.youtube.com

Following junk science, or should we say politicized science is what make YOU an idiot, Bolshevik Bob. The CO2 climate narrative does not fit the Earth's known climate history, so what idiot who does not have something to gain would rationally think it would fit with our climate future? The CO2 climate theory was concocted in the 1890s by a Swedish physicist but was discredited and forgotten until a British magazine did an article about 1970 mentioning the old theory and it caught the eye of two groups who decided the theory would be useful to them politically so they promoted it.

Maybe some in the leftwing media have wised up. MSNBC's legal analyst called the Bondi nomination "a dangerous and effective choice" - dangerous to the left, of course.

CNN's legal analyst was even more explicit:
"Pam Bondi is, without a question, qualified to be Attorney General. She's been a prosecutor for 20 years in Florida. For 8 of those, she was the Attorney General of the state. That's a very big, very complicated job‚ and that level of experience is on par with, or better than most United States Attorneys General that we've seen over the past 50 years or so."

Illegal aliens are welfare deadbeats and a drain on the economy. They are costing our taxpayers many billions of dollars, and it will be a huge economic benefit when they are gone. I have never seen it tallied by percentage in the US, probably because each state runs its own welfare department, but we are not likely different from Germany where 62% of welfare recipients are illegal aliens.

Illegal aliens presence also runs up the costs of lots of other things like medical care, rents, and auto insurance for American citizens.

Wind and solar are not only weather dependant as to whether they even produce any electricity, but they are also very vulnerable to destruction by bad weather. The recent hurricanes destroyed thousands of solar panels and damaged dozens of wind turbines. A hail storm destroyed one of the largest solar farms in the country earlier this year.

This is not a reliable way to make electricity.
