Shareholders of companies with woke management that violate their fiduciary duties to shareholders by trashing shareholder value in order to promote the woke agenda need to be sued by shareholders for that loss in shareholder value. It is just nuts that rogue management can get away with screwing their shareholders like this.

The wind and solar energy grifters do a lot of that raping and pillaging of the Earth, and they ironically do it in the name of "the environment". Old growth forests are being chopped down on both sides of the Atlantic for wind and solar "farms" while real farmers are being put out of business by "green" regs. In Scotland, a request under their equivalient of the Freedom of Information Act to their government forestry office revealed that 13.1 million trees had been chopped down, just on govenrment land, to build wind and solar "farms". That is just in one country. Then there are the vast swaths of the Amazon, called the "lungs of the planet" that have been clear cut for balsa wood for wind turbine blades.

The middle class benefits the most from President Trump's policies, and it is not just the tax policies which save us money, keep our 401K's stronger, and our buying power stronger, but also things like energy policy to reduce the gas prices Biden raised, and the electricity rates he is raising through his green new deal wind and solar. Trump will drive a stake through the heart of Biden's energy madness.

Climate history is clear that the Chicken Little scare stories of the climate alarmists are all nonsense. These alternating multi-century warming and cooling cycles have happened repeatedly in Earth's climate history, with no bad result for humanity. Indeed, the last major warming cycle, which was warmer than today, the Medieval Warm Period, was a period of great wealth and human progress. The longest and hottest warm cycle, the Holocene Maximum, when it was much warmer than today for 3,000 years, coincided with the heyday of ancient Greek civilization, and things were very positive for humanity.

States should simply refuse to pay anything for or to these arrogant mooching illegal aliens with their fake asylum claims. They should not be a burden to our taxpayers. Send them home.

Bidenomics will send the US dollar the way of the 1920s German mark or the 1990s Zimbabwe dollar. Better stock up on gold and silver, with some lead to protect it.

Lockdowns were the ChiCom approach to Covid, which the ChiCom dominated WHO recommended to other countries. That fool Fauci advocated that totalitarian crap here. Faucism is just another way to say Fascism. Before the ChiCom stooge took over the WHO, its pandemic response was based on herd immunity, not lockdowns, but the ChiCom stooge Tedros changed all that. Now the facts show the ChiComs were wrong and the pre-ChiCom WHO had been right.

This new WHO pandemic treaty is nothing but a ChiCom power grab. If that blinkered fool Biden signs it, the states should pass laws saying they do not accept it as binding on them.

Yeah, power lines that serve a WIND FARM.

The Chamber is also not exactly friendly to tax cuts. Brinson showed his true colors when he voted on the New Bern city council to raise taxes. We can conclude he is lying when he sends out postcards or others do for him that say he believes in tax cuts. That claim ia contradicted by Brinson's actual record in public office.

McConnell has been an ally of Democrats far too often. He did all sorts of deals with both Obama and Biden to agree to overspending, and in one case sold out for an Obama earmark for Kentucky, which was deemed the "Kentucky kickback". Since Biden is back, McConnell supported restoring the corrupt "earmarks" grift to federal budget, earning the title of "Earmarxist". McConnell has also led resistance to conservative efforts on many policy issues like trying to repeal Obamacare. He has too often been working with the Democrats to support big spending which has caused all the inflation we are now suffered. Good riddance to this pompous big spending jerk.

Yeah, all those federally subsidized wind turbines in Texas, not only make their grid unreliable but are also prime ignition sources for wildfires.

But realistically, the wildfire problem these days comes mostly from bad forestry management practices dictated by the environmentalists.

"Summer in February"? Nuts! Little Bobbie ought to learn a few more real facts about weather before spewing his climate alarmist nonsense. Weather systems, high and low pressure move from west to east all year, and the winds rotate around them, with wind blowing up from the south on one side. That brings up higher temperatures from the south. This has gone on forever. The impact of El Nino and La Nina cycles which have also gone on forever have the effect of amplifying or depressing the impact, as well as keeping the jet stream higher or lower. None of this has anything at all to do with CO2. They are all natural cycles that have always gone on, as are the longer term natural cooling and warming cycles.

And that last bit of gibberish indicates Bobbie probably needs some mental health help.

Bolshevik Bob, you are nothing but a tool of the globalists, pumping out their absurd propaganda blaming CO2 for what are actually natural climate cycles. Maybe you know that you are deliberately spewing propaganda but maybe you are just an ignorant lemming too dense to understand it. I doubt you have the brainpower to understand the real science on this issue, presented in a British TV documentary broadcast nationally on the UK's Channel 4, entitled "The Great Global Warming Swindle": www.youtube.com

Beaufort County voters should be especially wary of Berger-backed candidates due to Berger's role in gerrymandering our county a few years ago into a Democrat-dominated majority black district so he could get rid of Senator Bill Cook. That makes Phil Berger an enemy of Beaufort County. Berger was calling the shots in that redistricting and he wanted to push through a far left green energy bill but knew that Senator Cook was very knowledgable in that subject and would fight for the ratepayers against that nonsense. So Berger gerrymandered Beaufort County to get rid of Cook so he could pass that liberal John Kerry / Al Gore / Greta Thunberg bill. That also makes Berger an enemy of conservatives and of electric ratepayers.

NEVER BBRGER (or Berger flunkies).

When President Trump is reelected, one of his first executive orders should be to transfer every penny we now give the UN and its agencies to building the border wall instead. The globalists at the UN are a big threat to our sovereighty and our freedom.

You make a very good point, Van Zant, about most people's loyalty to their church revolving around their local congregation, not the far off national denomination. Church members usually look to their friends in the local congregation, their local minister, even a cherished church building rather than the agenda of a distant denomination office. Why would someone prioritize a national church body unless it was over ideology? In this case, it appears that promotion of homosexuality was the lightning rod in the split, with the Global Methodist Church rejecting that promotion. Someone would really have to be wound up in the issues involved to leave their longtime local church. I can readily see how this would concern voters particularly over a school board member,

Personally, I am not in Mrs. Walker's district, but if I was my vote would have been determined by the fact that she is part of the "seat warmer" faction that fails to give proper financial oversight to the liberal school superintendant Cheeseman, or, in fact, proper oversight of much of anything.

Randy Walker initially impressed me with his many social media posts about being a watchdog for the taxpayer, but once he won the primary, he took all of those down. Instead, Randy has become a lapdog of the county manager and the ruling coalition, and has not looked out for the taxpayer at all. With his record he would never have had my vote anyway. He has been part of the group piling up a slush fund instead of reducing taxes. With the revaluation coming, we need pro-taxpayer commissioners now more than ever, and Randy just is not one of them.

The state motto Esse Quam Videri is Latin for "To be rather than to seem". That is what voters need to look for in elections, those who are the real deal instead of those just telling voters what they think the voters want to hear as Randy did in his first primary with regard to taxes.

Solar panels are full of harmful substances including carcinogins, and they are being dumped in landfills when they wear out. They are a ticking environmental pollution timebomb. That is REAL pollution, in contrast to CO2 which is a natural substance, not pollution, that is beneficial to plant growth.

Solar panels and wind turbines also hurt people, especially the poor, by making electricity more expensive and less reliable.
