Stein is using the Democrat playbook of attacking the Republican he wants to run against. Conservative State Treasurer Dale Folwell is not only our strongest candidate, but will make the best governor.

SAVVAS was one of the companies whose textbooks were rejected by the state of Florida as being too woke. Why in the heck are they being proposed in Beaufort County?

And, Big Bob, the "woke" agenda of their attacks on history is extremely similar to Mao's Cultural Revolution in Red China. I guess you consider mass murderer Mao "a decent human being"?

Woke is also highly racist. If you are white, you are bad. If you are a white male, you are worse, and a heterosexual white male worse still. Worst of all in their woke racist world is a white male heterosexual Christian.

Our former GOP state senator Bill Cook ran campaign ads against the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. Now, his RINO replacement Jim Perry of Kinston is in the hip pocket of Big Medicine and pushing this Democrat priority just as hard as he can.

Nationally, getting all states onboard the Obamacare Medicaid expansion is a big priorty of Democrats. It is disgusting to Republican voters that we have sell-out Special Interest Republicans in leadership positions in the General Assembly, Phil Berger and Tim Moore who are working as hard as the Democrats for this major Democrat priority. With "Republicans" like Berger and Moore, who even needs Democrats?

This is not the first time and probably will not be the last that Berger and Moore have betrayed Republican principles to do the bidding of the liberal special interests. This has also been a huge problem in DC with Mitch McConnell being one of the most shameless Special Interest Republicans around, and a parade of special interest Republicans like Boehner and Ryan heading House Repubilcans.

At least this time in the US Congress we had 20 heroes force McCarthy to make some commitments where he is supposed to actually function as a Republican for a change. His history in the past has always been as a special interest Republican. Where are our heroes in the General Assembly to whittle down the excessive control exercised by Berger and Moore? Do so many of them lack a full set of vertebrae?

Why bother to elect a Republican legislative majority if they are going to sell us out at every turn? Phil Berger is little more than a backwater Mitch McConnell and Tim Moore a backwater John Boehner. Why do we tolerate these backstabbing scoundrels?

At least it was encouraging to hear Rep. Keith Kidwell on WTIB speaking out against the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. Rank and file Republicans stopped it in the House last session, and hopefully they will have the backbone to do it again.

Berger and Moore are beneath contempt. THey have been doing Roy Cooper and the Democrats' bidding on issue after issue. They are not only Special Interest Republicans who sell us out to the special interests, but they are also Benedict Arnold Republicans who sell us out to the Democrats.

Globalism is a totalitarian ideology, much like communism and fascism in the 20th century. The WEF's Klaus Schwab's "Great Reset" book is the equivalent of Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto" and Adolph Hitler's "Mein Kampf". They are a huge threat to freedom. One of the WEF slogans is "you will own nothing and you will be happy".

This Log Cabin Republican is one of the ones pulling Locke to the left. HB951 is NC's Green New Deal, and contains no "brilliance". It is only "bipartisan" in that the establishment House and Senate "Republican" leadership of Moore and Berger sold out to the special interests and screwed the NC Republican base and NC electric customers. Duke Energy is as "woke" as it gets and is all in to the radical ESG nonsense, and they and the solar / wind grifters are who Berger and Moore sold us out to.

Locke is destroying its conservative reputation by hired a greenie like Bellievue.

Trump's support of McCarthy is a support of one of the worst swamp creatures. That does it. I am in the deSantis camp solidly now for '24..

I understand that our new conservative trio has been reaching out to some of the other board members in trying to find votes on key policy. I hope they are successful, and we start to see our School Board adopt a pro-parent position instead of being lapdogs of the school bureanracy. I agree that there is a lot to do and voters are anxious to start getting it done. If they can't find two other votes, there are going to be a lot more defeated incumbents in the 2024 cycle.

At the time, Speaker Moore's refusal to call the Parents Bill of Rights up for a vote was a real head scratcher. The votes were there in the House to pass it. It was election time. Sure, Cooper would probably veto it, but it put Democrat legislators on record on an issue where voters would not agree with them. Then put it up again for a veto override and make them vote on it again. That would have been a heck of a campaign issue if the Democrats held firm, but Moore took a pass on it. That made absolutely no sense at the time. It seemed to reek of political malpractice. Now, however, one can connect the dots between Speaker Moore and the homosexual lobby, and why it happened is just too crystal clear, and too infuriating. Moore needs to go. He is not serving the Republicans of North Carolina and our interests.

Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive Republican, a big spender and a big government guy, more like a Cheney than a Trump. His role in the Spanish American War was more hype than reality. He may have exuded a certain personal bravado, but his politics were to the left of most Republicans of his day.

I guess that Mitch McConnell could be called the Frankie Waters of the US Senate, always there to do the Democrats bidding instead of working with his own party. It was appalling that Republican senators let this quisling continue to be GOP leader. I am very disappointed in Ted Budd, although we always knew that Thom Tillis is also a quisling.

That contract boondoggle has a strong whiff of corruption. Didn't Stan Deatherage try to get some honest policies established for county contracts? That apparently went nowhere. I wonder whose buddy that second bidder was? We are not getting transparency in government, and that hurts our taxpayers.

So the big spender anti-taxpayer coalition rides again. Disgusting. Frankie Waters is a puppet on a string to Jerry Langley and our liberal big-spending county manager. One could say they are spending like drunken sailors, but at least drunken sailors are spending their own money, not that of the taxpayers. Watch them try to mortgage our county to the hilt for their unneeded big new jail.

Climate alarmism is the biggest doomsday cult in history; a Chicken Little mentality on steroids. It needs a stake driven through its heart.

Can we get Frankie Waters to resign as a commissioner, too? Maybe then some of this stupid spending the county has been doing will end and we can get our taxes down.

Sam Bankman-Fried is the new Bernie Madoff, and like Madoff, he is a Democrat contributor and even a much bigger one, sedond largest Democrat contributor this election year, and now it is clear that was with stolen money. What also needs to be investigated is the role of another crypto company, Binance, in keeping this under the radar until after the election, a clearly partisan move. When FTX reached the point of collapse weeks ago, which would have been a pre-election disaster for Democrats, Binance came forward and talked about buying FTX to rescue it. FTX was a Ponzi scheme train wreck and that was never going to happen, but it staved off the explosion until after the election. Then several days after the election, Binance said "never mind".

Frankie Waters is a Backwater Biden. He likes to spend other peoples money to try to buy votes. I hope the voters are smart enough to turn him out this election.

Perry's role in forcing the NC Green New Deal down our throats is reason enough to throw the bum out, but his pushing the Obamacare Medicaid expansion is almost as bad. With "Republicans" like Jim Perry, who even needs Democrats? I like the idea of expressing my disgust with Perry by writing in Bill Cook, who was always dependable in voting for the taxpayers, and wish I had heard about it before I voted.
