Commented on 59% of illegal alien households in US are on welfareHmmm! Is being a welfare recipient one of those "jobs Americans don't want to do"?

I made the mistake of voting for Randy Walker in his primary last time due to all the stuff he put up on Facebook about being absolutely opposed to raising taxes. Randy has been a disappointment on taxes and spending his whole term. I won't make that mistake again. It is thus not terribly surprising that he has joined the far left cancel culture against southern heritage.
I knew what Murphy was in his first primary, and was not fooled at all there. He was a spendthrift in the legislature known as "Medicaid Murphy". He has gone on to be a dud of a congressman who has sold out taxpayers to the establishment. I think I saw he has a Libertarian opponent this time, and if so that is how I will vote. Murphy is not fit to even shine Walter Jones' shoes. Walter was a great congressman, I wish we still had him.

The World Health Organization is a TOTALITARIAN organization, not terrorist. That happened when the communist Chinese dictatorship gained control of it with their placeman Tedros, a government functionary from a Third World dictatorship and the first non-physician to head the WHO. Under previous expert medical leadership, WHO had a pandemcic response plan that was ready to go and it relied on herd immunity. Tedros junked that and replaced it with China's totalitarian approach of lockdowns and mandates. The US needs to get out of WHO and many UN organizations that are run by tin horn Third World dictatorship flunkies. Tedros is nothing but a Beijing functionary.

Those climate crazies have a lot to do with the rising cost of living and inflation. Biden's anti-oil and gas policies drove the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel to staggering heights, and since most goods have to be transported using those fuels, just about everything else followed. Now their wind and solar insanity threatens to drive our electric rates, and everything that depends on them through the roof.
Of course, those idiots don't forget to jack up the price of little things like ceiling fans along the way.

Jim Perry is in cahoots with the far left on many major issues like the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, casinos, the Green New Deal, and marijuana. Luckily, a conservative leader who used to repreent Craven and Beaufort Counties in the NC House and chaired the Greedom Caucus there, Mike Speciale, has come out ot retirement to take this seat away from RINO Perry.

Offshore wind turbine power sends consumer power bills through the roof. Industrializing the oceans with wind turbines is a very stupid idea for a lot of reasons.

Commented on Far-Left Extremist Greta Thunberg Calls For ‘Crushing Zionism’: ‘Thunberg Is Hitler Youth’And who are the rich that are doing that these days? Soros, father and son, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Bill Gates, and others of their ilk, i.e. the globalists. They are distorting politics to the left and to big government, not to the right. They meet annually at Davos under the watchful eye of Klaus Schwab to plot their agenda, known as "the Great Reset". The left could say that this is just a "conspiracy theory" except they are very open about their goals and objectives, writing books and putting out videos on what they want to do. These are the world's New Totalitarians, and dividing society with the gender confusion nonsense, climate alarmism, and mass migration are just some of their tactics.
The rich globalists are the enemy of a free society, which they are trying to destory and rebuild to their own desires. If they get away with taking meat away from the masses, as they want, you can be sure they will still be eating steaks themselves.

Commented on Greg Murphy's response on digital currencyCentral bank digital currency is a huge threat to our privacy and gives government a lot more control over our lives than they already have. It is a goal of the globalist totalitarians of the World Economic Forum (Klaus Schwab, Davos). Greg Murphy is clearly not our friend on this issue. His letter shows he is undecided and that stinks. Walter Jones would have had our backs but Murphy clearly does NOT.

When I am in a business and the young person at the cash register has trouble figuring out the change, it is clear that the Common Core math they have been teaching is not working to give them an ability to do even simple math. In spite of this, the Beaufort County School Board just bought another Common Core math curriculum, and this one also has "woke" DEI embedded in it as well.
Your points about evaluation are excellent. This needs to be done in all schools. We also need to evaluate the superintendant with measurable standards on academic performance, and principals as well. And most of all, we need a new school board majority attuned to actually doing something to improve our schools instead of just being sock puppets for the superintendant.

Jim Perry is pushing liberal crap every time you turn around, because some liberal special interest is paying him to do it. That is why Perry pushed the Obamacare Medicaid expansion and the NC Green New Deal, and was one of the top recipients of special interest money from casinos to try to plant casinos across our state. It is way past time to throw this rascal OUT.

The climate carbon cult is a politically motivated and profit and power motivated scam. The Climategate emails exposed the rogue scientists involved as a bunch of manipulative liars. Every single one of the dire warnings issued by the climate alarmists that has passed the date they were supposed to happen, and there have been dozens of them, has FAILED to happen, or even come anywhere close. These scammers are batting ZERO on their predictions. Everyone from the globalists at the UN and WEF to Red China are using this fake issue to achieve more power. As Dr. Vaclav Klaus, past president of the Czech Republic has pointed out, climate alarmism is "a budding totalitarian ideology that is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today."

Commented on Governor Cooper Issues Executive Order Directing Bold Action to Advance Environmental Justice within State GovernmentComrade Cooper is just full of Marxist blather, which is all "enviornmental justice" has ever been. Heck, if you look at World Health Organization standards for Europe, wind turbines for producing electricity are identified as a threat to human health, but it is the green left in the US, which supposedly pushes "environmental justice" that is also pushing those things. What stinking hypocrites.

The UN has used the climate hoax as a power play for themselves for years. Now they want governments in western countries to force us to greatly reduce our meat intake and eat bugs instead. This current UN Secretary General is an apologist for Hamas terroristm and war crimes. The sooner the US can get out of the UN mousetrap, the better.

What is really causing deforestation? Land intensive "green" wind and solar electric operations. In Scotland, according to the government's forestry agency, 13.1 million trees have been cut down, just on govenrment land, and not including those cut on private land, to put up wind and solar "farms". Ancient forests in German are under constant attack to put up wind and solar, from the famed Black Forest in the south to the Reinhardtswald, the ancient forest that was the setting of Grimms Fairy Tales in the north, and many in between. Great swaths of the the Amazon Rain Forest, called the "lungs of the planet" are being clear cut for balsa wood for wind turbine blades.
The carbon cult nazis want to destroy lots of trees to put up their wind and solar eyesores, but blames farms for human food for "global warming". That is pure BS.

The private sector does darn near anything better than government, and that includes education. Private schools, on average, spend less per pupil than public schools but achieve much better education results. Those opportunities should be there for all students, not just children of the rich. The teachers union and much of the education establishment is injecting political indoctrination into public schools. A poll last year in North Carolina found that 71% of North Carolina parents are concerned about political indoctrination in the public schools. Competition makes everything better and that includes schools.

One big thing that has contributed to forest fires over the past 20 years is some misguided environmentalists getting policies changed to not cut out underbrush like they used to. That means when a fire gets started, it spreads more efficiently, which is not a good thing. The data shows that most forest fires are caused by humans, often by arson, not natural causes like lightning.

It might or might not have been the Mexican cartels that Tillis is fronting for, but it is some special interest. Tillis is NOT representing his constituents in his illegal immigration schemes but fronting for special interests. In doing so, Tillis is costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. He is a disgrace to North Carolina and to the Republican Party, and an enemy to hardworking American taxpayers.

Commented on Much of the Green Agenda is based on liesWhen it comes to electricity, nuclear (especially the new small modular reactors) and geothermal are the appealing technologies to supplement the traditional hydro, coal,and gas electric plants. Unlike wind and solar, nuclear and geothermal are cheap and dependable. Even Kenya and the Caribbean island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis are developing geothermal energy projects.
France, which is mostly nuclear powered for its electricity has electric rate less than half of those of neighboring wind and solar obsessed Germany. Wind and solar also produce a lot of environmental harm, and true environmentalists in Germany regularly file lawsuits to stop wind and solar, particularly wind, projects.

Commented on Much of the Green Agenda is based on liesStan, the Climate-Industrial Complex (great term, BTW!) that is pushing wind and solar is one of the biggest threats to trees in the world today. Scotland's government forestry office has calculated that 13.1 million trees have been cut down just on government land, not counting private land, in Scotland to build wind turbines and solar farms. That does not even count the rest of the UK, either. The "Green" Party government of the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg is turning parts of the Black Forest to sawdust to build wind farms. Real environmentalists have been called "tree huggers" for many years but those in the climate carbon cult seem to be tree haters. It is not just the Amazon, but the Climate-Industrial Complex is causing deforestation all over the world.
If they were really concerned about CO2, cutting trees down would be stupid since trees absorb CO2 in the photosynthesis process and give off oxygen. But honest scientists will tell you that CO2 has nothing to do with climate in the first place. It is a very minor greenshouse gas, and the greenhouse effect is essential to life on Earth. The most important greenhouse gas is water vapor, which accounts for over 90% of the greenhouse effect.

Commented on Much of the Green Agenda is based on liesStan, these warming and cooling cycles have been going on since the Earth was created. The LIttle Ice Age was the cool period that preceded our present natural warming period. The Little Ice Age corresponded with the Maunder Minimum of low sun spot activity. When solar radiation levels changed on Earth due to fewer sun spots, it got colder, and when sun spot activity perked up again, it got warmer. It did not have a darn thing to do with CO2 or the greenhouse effect.
Prior to the Little Ice Age was the Medival Warm Period, when it was warmer than today. There was also a centuries long warm period during the height of the Roman Empire. The longest and hottest warm period was the Holocene Maximum when it was much warmer than today for 3,000 years and with no bad outcomes. Your comment about temperatures rising would have been AFTER the Little Ice Age.

Commented on Much of the Green Agenda is based on liesHmmm! Maybe that was the part of the Amazon where the rain forest has been clear cut by the wind industry for balsa wood for wind turbine blades. No more trees will make it hotter.
Further, it likely was at least that hot there back during the Medieval Warm Period, the Hollocene Maximum and other warming cycles the Earth has gone through during its history.

Commented on Florida Dominates Country For State-To-State Migration While California Ranks Dead LastThe climate alarmists having been refusing to debate their theory for years. Real science is always open to debate. Einstein was always willing to and did debate his theory of relativity. The fact that they refuse to debate tells you this is a political doctrine, not science.
Dr. Vaclav Klaus, former prime minister and president of the Czech Republic, hit the nail on the head when he described climate alarmism as "a budding totalitarian ideology that is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today." I would love to see a debate between former President Klaus and former Vice President Gore on this subject, each with a scientist of choice. Klaus would mop the floor with Gore and that is the reason the climate alarmists run like scared rabbits from debates on their wobbly theory. But President Klaus lays it all out in a book entitled "Blue Planet in Green Shackles: What is in Jeopardy, climate or freedom?" which has been published in eight languages.

Commented on Florida Dominates Country For State-To-State Migration While California Ranks Dead LastThere is a debate in science, so we should not be going hog wild on one side.
The 1600 scientists who signed the letter take a position consistent with conventional climate science and with the observations of climate cycles that have occured in the past, as well as current data. The climate alarmist scientists, on the other hand, take a radical new approach, promoted with political money in the 1980s and since. The climate alarmist scientists have also been caught scheming to cover up facts and data that disprove their theory in the Climategate emails The last multi-century cycle of global warming, the Medieval Warm Period came to a natural end and went into a cooling cycle, the Little Ice Age. I have yet to hear the climate alarmist scientists try to explain how CO2 and such "caused" the Medieval Warm Period, when it was warmer than it is today and nothing bad happened as a result. In fact, it was a period of great wealth and human progress. Maybe the climate alarmists might claim it was horse farts from all those knights riding around? Or take the granddaddy of all warm cycles, the Holocene Maximum, when it was MUCH warmer than today for 3,000 years. That coincided with the Bronze Age of human development and the heyday of ancient Greek civilization. We know from ancient Greek history that there were no bad outcomes from that warm period. You are just a cultist Bobbie.

Commented on Florida Dominates Country For State-To-State Migration While California Ranks Dead LastThere was just a statement put out by 1600 scientists, led by two Nobel prize winners, one of whom was the most recent Nobel winner in Physics, that declared that "there is no climate emergency". While there are other scientists with a political or personal financial agenda (climate alarmism makes for lots of government grant money for them) who claim otherwise, it was shown they are scammers when their emails were hacked in Climategate.
Long time climate science has shown that the Earth goes through centuries long warming and cooling cycles. The last cooling cycle, which was particularly cold compared to others, was known as the Little Ice Age or the Maunder Minimum and ended in the 19th century. Earth has been in a natural warming cycle, that has nothing to do with CO2 or cow farts, since then. There are also shorter term natural warming and cooling cycles like El Nino and La Nina that last a year or two or three. It is all a natural process not manmade. Climate alarmism is a cult, the largest doomsday cult the world has ever seen, and its members really ought to get professional help to be deprogrammed. Here's looking at you, Little Bobbie.

Wind and solar electricity are a consumer ripoff and lead to much higher electric rates as well as more blackouts. In North Carolina, a power play by a group of RINOs pushed through Roy Cooper's policy on the Green New Deal, stabbing their own constituents in the back. The local state senator, Jim Perry, was up to his eyeballs in this scam. We have already seen our first electric rate increase of 18% as a result, and that is just the beginning, barely scratching the surface on what is coming for electric ratepayers.
Perry needs a real Republican as a primary opponent.
