Commented on U.S. aid is subsidizing Ukraine corporates, paying state salaries, and buying fertilizer for farmersThis is much like providing arms to the British to fight Hitler before we were attacked ourselves at Pearl Harbor. Putin is the 21st century equivalent of Hitler or Stalin. However, there should be limits. Money for all sorts of "woke"causes that Ukrainians do not actually believe it themselves is absurd, as are billions for "green energy". Having travelled in Ukraine, including spending a summer week in Crimea, and worked with Ukrainians, I am all for helping them fend off Russian aggression, but Biden goes too far in many of his subsidies. We should have gotten them more sophisticated weapons sooner, but there are lots of things Biden is funding outside the militry sphere that he should not be.

Across the board, Biden is a bigger threat to American freedom than George III ever was. That recent Rasmussen poll shows that most Americans are aware of the threat to democracy and freedom posed by Biden.

Displaying your ignorance again, Little Bobbie? The crosstabs for this poll show it is balanced between Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, and even a majority of Democrats are concerned that America is headed toward a police state. Yes, proportionately more Republicans are concerned about the country becoming a police state, but so are a majority of all political persuaxions and all age groups.

The information on RINO Jim Perry being involved in snatching responsibilities from Mike Causey is from the linked article from the Daily Haymaker. Its author, Brant Clifton, has covered the General Assembly for years and I suspect knows a whole lot more about what is going on than you do "FreedomFirst". Read Brant's article and educate yourself!
Another big difference between Causey and Perry, is that Causey is a long time Republican activist, going back to the Young Republicans, who has paid his dues in the party and stands by party principles while Perry is a Johnny-Come-Lately who nobody had ever heard of until he showed up to try to get a legislative vacancy due to a resignation, and who in the legislature very often abandons GOP principles. Just as you use a pen name, so do I, and here is a hint of where it comes from: www.youtube.com

Here is why this is such a threat to children. As the medical experts in the UK and Europe tell us, most gender confused children grow out of it naturally. They should be allowed to do so, as it will mean happier lives for them. But some ideologues think that gender confused children should be groomed for a lifetime as some sort of sexual deviant, which is not in their best interests. When schools promote things like this they are taking part in that grooming process. That should not be tolerated.

Commented on Maui County Sues Hawaiian Electric, Alleges ‘Intentional And Malicious’ Mismanagement Led To FiresHawaii's electric company irnored the warnings about how downed power lines could cause wildfires and the ways it could be fixed, and according to the Wall Street Journal, the reasonn they ignored them was because they were totally focused on global warming. In effect, the global warming craze led to all those deaths and property destruction on Maui.

When articles in major newspapers, like the one above from the largest circulation daily newspaper in the UK, report these lawsuits, they are indeed happening, regardless of what Little Bobbie believes in his little mind. Bobbie takes the far left narrative as "the truth" instead of looking at actual facts like those reported in this newspaper article.
As to late term abortions, maybe a left wing source, the AP, can educate Little Bobbie on where the Democrats stand on that Ifor it): apnews.com We are entitled to our own opinions, but, Bobbie, not our own "facts".

Breitbart says it is more about Gibson's lies than about the sex irself.
www.breitbart.com Now that this is out in public, I can see it presenting a campaign problem. She has said she enjoys lots of sex and with various different men. She is an attractive woman, so how many men are going to be seeking to spend time with her after she asks for their vote, and if she rejects them will it cost her their vote? One of the few things that Little Bobbie has correct is that Timmy needs to go.

Commented on What is going on with the School Board?We are talking about how leftists use these terms - "diversity, equity, inclusion" as political busswords today, and they have a very different meaning from when I grew up, was in college, or indeed until just a few years ago. I had no pbollem with them they way they were defined then, but the far left today has gone Orwellian and adapted "New Speak" interpretations, and those are indeed anti-white racism, and in the case of "equity" Marxism.

Commented on What is going on with the School Board?"Diversity, equity, and inclusion" are code words for anti-white racism. Indeed "equity" as it is used by the left today is also a code work for Marxism.
If Bolshevik Bob does not quote the far left narrative, he just makes things up.

Officials who suspend rights that are Constitutionally guaranteed are called dictators. I do not think we have any dictators yet at the state or federal level yet in the US, but we are getting uncomfortably close at the federal level and with a few governors like this one.
When guns are taken from law abiding citizens by decree, that is following Hitler's playbook as well as Stalin's.

Commented on Is this a climate emergency?The climate scare has always been nothing but political hype, a Chicken Little scare story to benefit politicians. Margaret Thatcher created the montster by putting government money out to promote what was an obscure and discredited theory because it helped in her battles with the coal miners union and the Arab oil sheiks. The globalits at the UN picked it up and other globalists piled on. Globalism is the biggest threat to freedom in the world today, and climate alarmism is a key part of that threat.
The former prime minister and president of the Czech Republic Dr. Vaclav Klaus (not to be confused with the evil totalitarian globalist Klaus Schwab) summed it up when he described climate alarmism as "a budding totalitarian ideology that is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today."

The only thing close to the Nazis in Europe these days are the globalists who adhere to the WEF. They follow the classical fascist economic doctrine of the "corporate state" and follow the nazis in wanting to suppress free speech and gun rights. Klaus Schwab's "Great Reset" book is a 21st century "Mein Kampf" The three parties of the right in Bavaria all reject the globalist doctrine.

Soros, father and son, are adjuncts of the Democrat Party in the US and the globalist totalitarian movement around the world. Alexander Soros has met Biden regime figures at the White HOuse dozens of times. They are joined at the hip. The Foreign Minister of Israel was spot on when he described Soros as "a threat to democracy".

Commented on Native American Group Threatens National Boycott If Washington Football Team Doesn’t Change Name Back To ‘Redskins’How about Fauxahuntus, the Massachusetts senator, Elizabeth Warren, who claimed to be part Cherokee to advance herself in academia, but when she was finally shamed into taking a DNA test, that proved to be an absolute lie. She was zero percent Cherokee.

The questions about Dominion voting machines was a very small part of the questions swirling around the 2020 elections. Mail-in ballot problems, and particularly the ballot harvesting, for example, was a much bigger problem. Fox settled because of a technical screwup; they failed to give Dominion a chance to respond to their news report. If they had done so, Dominion would not have had a leg to stand on.
Voting machines, generally, are a problem, and those from Dominion particularly so. Paper ballots, cast on election day or at manned early voting sites, hand counted are the most transparent and honest. Mail in ballots and unmanned ballot drop boxes are a huge invitation to fraud. Our own legislator, Keith Kidwell, uncovered the fact that in some counties here in North Carolina, voting machines had connections to the internet, which by law they were not supposed to have. Those were not Dominion machines but were other brands.

Those tainted with this corrupt gambling money need primaries to replace them as GOP nominees. One of the top recipients of this crooked money is RINO State Senator Jim Perry who represents Lenoir, Craven, and Beaufort counties. He needs to GO.

Like his hero Biden, Little Bobbie uses the term "truth" to refer to his political beliefs rather than to facts. The links provided in the article and Jann's comment contain lots of information that establishes that they are factual.
And that Czech president was spot on with his assessment.

Commented on Censorship is ramping upHere is how bad the Orwellian attacks on free speech are getting. In the UK, an elected Conservative local government official was arrested for "hate speech" over re-posting comments from others supporting FREE SPEECH. So supporting free speech is now regarded as "hate speech". "Hate speech" is a term used by totalitarians who hate FREE SPEECH.

Bobbie reminds me of Biden when he said "we support truth over facts". You see, for the far left "Truth" is about their political narrative, not about what actual happened.
Almost all historic monuments to our Confederate ancestors were privately funded. The taxpayer money is being spent by the far left to try to destroy them. The Arlington Cemetery monument is no exception. The War Between the States was NOT a holocaust.

Actually, Bolshevik Bob, YOU are like a holocaust denier, denying real history because it does not fit in with your extremist ideology. The holoscaust, historically and factually, did happen. Those who deny it for extremist political reasons are not to be trusted. Similarly, factually and historically there WERE free blacks in the South in the antebellum South and a significant number of them owned slaves themselves. To deny that because of your anti-white racist beliefs, you are similarly not to be trusted.
History is history. Facts are facts. They should not be denied because they are inconvenient to a political narrative or agenda. Slavery was wrong, as General Lee wrote, that it was "an institution of moral and political evil." But that does not mean that all Southern blacks at the time were slaves. They weren't. And it does not mean that blacks were not slave owners. Some of them were.

The usual suspect in gas price gouging, Speedway, has jacked their price up again this afternoon to $3.59, about 15 cents increase from where they were. No one else seems to have followed yet, so it is a good time to fill up. Murphy's Express is at $3.43, and the 76 Station on Bridge Street at $3.42. Duck Thru is at $3.44, but if you have their discount card, that makes it $3.39, as of right now the best price in town, and 20 cents a gallon less than Speedway.

Countrygirl, it seems most gas stations operate like you indicate, by following what others are doing, either up or down. Duck Thru, which bought out Makin' Tracks some time back, seems to be one of those, which is why its prices can vary dramatically from one town to another.
It is the price leaders we have to watch, the ones that initiate the increases and decreases in gas price. Locally for the past few years that has been Speedway raising prices, often by 10 or 20 cents at a whack, and Murphy Express which leads the decreases, usually a few cents at a time. Lately,the new 76 statiton acress from the new Washington police building on Bridge Street has undercut even Murphy on the downside. It looks like Greenville must have gotten eiether some new players or some existing players who want to shake things up on gas prices. Good for them. We need that again in Washington.

To teach Bobbie a little real history, he should read the attached articles. There are a couple of duplicates in the lists of black slave owners, but all of the stories show free blacks in the South in economically prominent positions and owning slaves themselves:
listverse.com Hmmm. I can only post one link so I will have to use a second comment to post the other one.

"Inability to accept that he lost an election" is a "crime"??? In which banana repurlic? All of the election manipulations by the Democrats using Covid as an excuse, made 2020 one of the most questionable elections in our history.
But lets look at other examples. In 2000 Al Gore and the Democrats claimed the election was stolen, as did Hillary Clinton after the 2016 election. The Gore - Lieberman ticket was labelled "Sore - Loserman" by some Republicans. Since 2018, failed Georgia gubenatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, and many of her Democrat supporters claimed she really won that election. None of these people were ever charged for their claims.

Well, what else is new? Bigot Bob is stuck on stupid. Maybe his idiot far left narrative, that he so often confuses with "fact", which it is not, claims all blacks in the south were slaves in 1861 but they were NOT. There were also free blacks in the South. Maybe Bobbie should look up the term "manumission" which was the process of slave owners giving their slaves freedom. It happened all the time, sometimes for a small number of particularly appreciated slaves and sometime for all slaves of a slaveowner. For example, George Washington, in his will, immediately freed one of his slaves at his death, and set all the rest of them, over a hundred in total, free at the death of his wife Martha. Robert E. Lee freed the hundreds of slaves he inherited from his father-in-law as soon as he cleared the debts of the estate so he could legally do so. Robert E. Lee had written in 1859, two years before secession, that "slavery is an institution of moral and political evil."
Learn your history, Bigot Bob. The far left narrative is a distortion of history.

Still stuck on ignorence, racism, and distortion are you, Bigot Bob? The only slaves documented to go into combat were two or three slaves belonging to General Nathan Bedford Forrest who he had brought to camp as servants, and who asked to be allowed to go into battle. They fought so well, that Gereral Foreest immediately gave them their freedom, and they then enlisted in the Confederate cavalry. One of the leading Confederate generals in the Trans-Mississippi Department (west of the Mississippi river) urged the Confederate government to formally offer slaves their freedom if they enlisted in the Confederate army, but the government never agreed to that. Other than General Forrest's slaves, the black men in the Confederate army and navy were all free blacks who fought to defend their homeland like other southerners. In 1861, twenty percent of Southern blacks were free blacks and about ten percent of them owned slaves themselves. The military pension records of southern states several decades later show thousands of black men drawing Confederate military pensions.
