The maddening thing is watching RINOs like Berger Moore, and this district's Sen. Jim Perry (RINO-Kinston) following the path of Biden, AOC, John Kerry, Al Gore, and Greta THunbuerg on this Climate Cult nonsense. The NC RINOs have given us NC's Green New Deal, HB951, which had already given us one double digit (17%) electric rate increase and will be certain to give us lots more based on what the EU's less radical Green Deal has done.
Offshore wind is the most expensive way to make electricity, and that is what the liberal Democrats and the RINOs seem to be all-in for. Our electric bills will soar, and come a moderate hurricane, we may be without electricity for a long time. Not to mention the huge harm to the environment by industrializing our oceans.

If you look at all the data, going all the way back, including the tree ring data and ice core data, what emerges is a cycle of long term multi-century warming and cooling cycles that have gone on throughour Earth's history. We came out of the last such cooling cycle, known as the Little Ice Age or the Maunder Minimum in the mid-19th century and have been in a warming cycle since then, so, of course temperatures are rising. Because of the way sun spots impact water vapor on Earth (which is the most important Greenhouse gas of all), we may be due for a reversal soon if the astronomers predicitions on sunspots come true.
An interesting aspect of the data that blows the whole theory of manmade global warming due to CO2 out of the water is that the study of ice core samples shows that the rise in CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere FOLLOWS the rise in temperature by several hundred years, meaning it is a RESULT of the warming, NOT a cause.

Clearly, you know nothing on this subject outside the globalist narrative you parrot. There are quite a few books out by honest scientists which blow away the myths of the climate cult, and also an excellent British TV documentary that does so. Oh, and I got an A in igh school biology.

The bill that matters is the one to change the governance structure of NC's public schools at the state level. We now have a very "woke" state Board of Education due to appointees of leftwing governor Cooper. The change that is sought and that would empower parents and other citizens is to elect the state Board of Education from Congressional districts. That is a very needed reform.

You are parroting one of the climate cult's big lies, their claim that CO2 is "pollution" which it is NOT. CO2 is a necessary nutriet for plants. Without it, all plant life would die, followed by all animial life as the food chain collapsed. Plants take in CO2 in photosynthesis and give off Oxygen. It is part of the cycle of life. It is profoundly ignorant to call CO2 a "pollutant".
Alos, you climate cultists deny that the Greenhouse Effect is necesary for life to exist on Earth. Without it, the planet would be too cold to sustain life. You denigrate something that is necessary for life on earth. And you focus on some of the most minor greenhouse gasses. The most important greenhouse gas, responsible for over 90% of the Greenhouse Effect is water vapor. The pagan cult of Climate SCientology ignores climate history to make claims that have no basis in fact and demand that policy be massively adjusted to meet their demands.

Commented on Beaufort County Conservative Club to meet ThursdayThe climate alarmists have spread several dozen dire warnings, whose dates of happening have already passed of things they claimed would happen if their preaching was not followed. Not a one of them has come true or even come remotely close. The climate alarmists are proven to be nothing but Chicken Little on steroids. Anyone stupid enough to believe them is either a knee jerk partisan or a buffoon.
The earth has always gone through multi-century warming and cooling cycles. The last one, the Medieval Warm Period, saw termperatures higher than today, and there was no "sea leverl rise". We know where the coastal cities were in medieval times and the sea level did NOT rise, nor did it fall in the succeeding Little Ice Age, also known as the Maunder Minimum. Then there is the granddaddy of warm periods, the Holocene Maximum, when it was much warmer than today for 2,000 years. The Bronze Age of human development occured during the Holocene Maximum and we know where the ancient Greek and other civilizations of the period had coastal cities, and NO those do not show any sign of "sea level rise" either, nor do ancient Greek writings. You must be smoking something really strong if you think you see "the planet melting".

When stinking bureaucrats by regulation require that a majority of cars sold in the US be electric, and polls show that only 23% of Americans would even consider buying an electric car, that is NOT market forces. That is government tyranny, and it is eco-fascism.
The Biden regime is trying to smother market forces, just the way fascists usually operate.

Forcing people to buy electric cars does NONE of that. All it does is make us even more dependent on China. Electric cars batteries are made of lithium, a toxic substance, and disposing of all of those dead EV batteries is going to be the real environmental nightmare. And when lithium burns, the smoke can kill you, maybe not right away, but it can cause multiple organ failure.

Big Government Bob is just parroting Chicken Little. The climate alarmists have made dozens of dire predictions that have already passed the time when they were supposed to come true, but not a single one of them has come true or even come close. The slimate alarmists are con men, who are the modern day Chicken Little. Big Government Bob is just enough of a gullible fool to keep believing the nonsense predictions they spout.
None of the climate alarmist leaders seem to actually believe this crap they spew on rising sea levels. Al Gore and Barack Obama have both bought multi-million dollar oceanfront mansions in recent years. They put their own money a very different place from where their mouth is. So why is Big Government Bob so gullible to believe it? Actual history disproves their theory anyway. The Earth periodically rotates between centuries-long warm spells and cold spells. The last warm spell, known to climatologists as the Medieval Warm Period was much warmer than today, and we know where all the low lying cities in Europe were located then, and NONE of them recording any rise in sea level from the global warming of that period. One can look back even farther to the longest and hottest warm period the Earth has experienced, the Holocene Maximum, which correponds with the Bronze Age of human development. Again, we know where the ancient Greek and other cities were located during that period, and those locations show no probleme with a rising sea level and none of the ancient writings say anything about one. So, I call BS on you, Big Government Bob.

This electric rate hike comes from ONE thing, NC's Green New Deal, HB951, and we will be seeing a lot more of these if the experience of the pushing of "green energy" elsewhere is any indiciator. I guess it is called "green" energy because it takes a whole lot more "green" out of the wallets of electric ratepayers. Germany is a good example. Since Merkel's "Energy Transition" German residenntial electric rates skyrocketed with continual rate hikes until they were three times what North Carolinians pay. This is where the RINOs and Cooper are taking North Carolina and it is disgusting.
What is even more disgusting is that the local state senator, Jim Perry, was a big player in pushing this Green New Deal on North Carolina. Perry is a special interest hack who cares nothing for the consumer. This liberal RINO needs to be voted out of office next year.

This eco-fascism is a gross abuse of authority. No bureaucracy should have this amount of power. The environmental protection racket is one of the worst protection rackets out there. The EPA needs to have its powers stripped if not being outright abolished. They are a threat to democracy as they exist today. Major decisions like they dictate should be made by elected officials not unelected bureaucrats. Putting what is actually legislative functions into the hands of an executive branch agency is a threat to separation of power.
This is also a matter of establishment of a state religion, Climate Scientology. It is not suprising that Big Government Bob is all for this eco-fascism.

The Obamacare Medicaid expansion is a major Democrat left policy objective delivered to us by RINOs who betrayed the Republican voters of North Carolina. The king RINOs responsible are the usual suspects, RINO House Speaker Tim Moore and RINO Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger. But they had local help. RINO State Representative Humphrey of Lenoir County was actually a primary sponsor of this socialized medicine excrement sandwich that will cost taxpayers big time, Two other local RINOs played major roles in pushing Republicans to vote for this Democrat measure, which was a top policy objective of Democrats nationally and of liberal NC Governor Roy Cooper. Those pro-Democrat scalawags were Sen. Jim Perry (RINO-Kinston) and State Rep. Tim Reeder (RINO-Greenville). Conservatives need to find primary challengers to these liberal losers Humphrey, Perry, and Reeder in 2024.

North Carolina is on its way to its own energy suicide and RINO legislative leaders Berger and Moore are responsible. They gave Roy Cooper his wet dream of what a British politician rightfully called "Net Stupid" and someone else called "Nut Zero". And lets not forget the major role of our own liberal Republican state senator Jim Perry in pushing this anti-consumer boondoggle. Perry obviosuly cares more about climate alarmism and the special interest grifters who hide behind it like woke electric monopoly Duke Energy and the wind and solar con men than he does about his own constituents. But, hey, maybe Perry was just trying to get a date with Greta Thunberg!

This should be the final straw. The America we knew does not exist any more. It is past time for a division of the country between those that still share American values and those which are irretrievable globalist. Those states that tolerate such political witch trials like New York need to be in a different country than states that respect the rule of law and do not try to arrest political opponents on trumped up fake charges. Those states which still espouse traditional American values should hook up with those Canadian provinces involved in the Wexit (western exit) movement in Canada which want to be out from under Trudeau's bootheal. Common values no longer hold the 50 US states together.
With a crooked prosecutor handpicking a judge whose daughter is a consultant for the Biden campaign to handle this case, the whole system in Manhattan just reeks of corruption. But, as Dershowitz points out all the judges there have similar heavy political bias, so getting a fair ruling on a motion, much less a fair trial there is impossible. We should NOT be in the same country as these Stalinists in New York.

Commented on Mark Robinson expected 2 Announce Run 4 GovernorI was a big fan of Mark Robinson when he ran for his current office. He is a first rate orator and hit all the right conservative notes. He started off great on the education issues, but he stopped, not even attending state school board meetings for months. A governor's appointees are key to his success. They are what made Jim Martin a great governor and Pat McCrory a poor one. Robinson has a rather small staff as Lt. Governor but his appointments there have been less than impressive. Most importantly, Robinson was asleep at the switch when RINOs pushed major left wing legislation including the Obamacare Medicaid expansion and the NC Green New Deal through the legislature. A group of conservative energy experts actually met with Robinson on contesting the Green New Deal but Robinson refused to get involved. Dale Folwell, on the other hand has shown as State Treasurer that he knows how to properly staff government with competent conservatives and he knows how to use the levers of power to push conservative policy. Talk is great with Robinson but it is Folwell who shows he can actually push conservative policy successfully.

Commented on WY becomes 19th state to ban men from womens sportsSpeaker Tim Moore never allowed the Parents Bill of Rights to come to the floor for a vote. After it passed the Senate, Moore used his power as Speaker to see that it stayed bottled up in committee until adjournment. Moore did Democrats a huge favor in doing that because that way, their members in close races did not have to vote on it, but he screwed his own candidates doing that.
The question is whether he will pull a similar stunt this time and kill it again. There is little doubt that his Deputy Chief of Staff is pushing for that, which would be a total betrayal of GOP voters. Tim Moore and also Phil Berger are a "Fifth Column" within the GOP - the enemy within.
