Biden's budget is a massive boondoggle with a lot of things wrong with it. There is a huge amount of spending to promote the globalist jihad on climate alarmism, something that will wreck our economy while helping Russia and China. Biden's wealth tax is pure Marxism.

Lithium is a key component of the climate alarmist jihad against fossil fuels. It takes lots of it to make the batteries for electric cars, for the huge and unreliable storage battery systems for "renewable" energy, and lots of related things. Lithium is also prone to spontaneously combust and start extremely hot fires that are difficult to extinguish and give off toxic and potentially deadly fumes. Quite a few electric car owners have discovered that the hard way, some even losing their houses as well as cars when the lithium fires erupt. It tendency to spontaneously combust is why lithium batteries are not allowed on passenger planes.

I got one of those Murphy postcards in todays mail. It was clearly political, not government business. Monkey business more likely. I went back and looked for who paid for it, and it clearly says it is paid for by the taxpayers, not Murphy's campaign committee. There is Murphy's signature for postage. That is just wrong. Murphy is off of my list of candidates to consider. I will probably go with Cowden who seems to have the most substance of the challengers. If a politician wants to become a swamp rat and abuse the taxpayers this way, it is time to change them for someone else.

Biden, Cooper, and all the Dems are up to their eyeballs in helping Russia get their energy plan imposed on America. Every time they push the absurd climate alarmist argument to dump reliable energy in favor on unreliable and expensive wind and solar is at attack on American energy independence and on consumers' pocketbooks. It is totally shameful that liberal Republicans Moore and Berger are helping them do it to North Carolina. Whatever happened to having Republican elected officials who thought like Republicans? Moore and Berger surely don't. If America is going to get our energy house in order, we need to tell the stinking Russian-funded climate alarmists to take a long walk off of a short pier.

This is the result of Biden kowtowing to the climate alarmist cult. He is killing us on energy, gas prices now, with a massive increase in electric rates also in the cards. Sadly, the RINOs and Democrats in Raleigh are also kowtowing to the climate alarmist and passed the Biden energy boondoggle in HB 951. Thanks a whole heck of a lot, RINOs Tim Moore and Phil Berger.

From what I read on another site, it looks like Cowden is the main challenger to Murphy.

We need to start getting some real Republicans who represent our base instead of the special interests. The legislature has way too many go-fers for the special interests who ignore the people back home. We have a good state House member but redistricting has put us in a Senate district with one of the worst of the special interest "Republican" spear-carriers, Jim Perry of Kinston in the Senate. Hopefully, conservatives in Craven County have come up with a primary opponent for him.

Cooper is North Carolina's Trudeau, a tyrant. He, like Trudeau, serves the totalitarian aims of the Great Reset of Klaus Schwab and the globalist World Economic Forum. Climate alarmism is a big part of their plan to control the world.

Senator Tom Cotton has recently pointed out that Biden has put the US on the same disastrous energy path as Germany. www.breitbart.com
And in our own North Carolina, Governor Roy Cooper, Speaker Tim Moore, and Senate President Phil Berger are also taking us down the same disastrous energy path as Germany, and repudiating the America First Energy policies of President Trump. RINO Senator Jim Perry, who may end up as Beaufort County's Senator was part of the group in the legislature that engineered this embrace of Greta Thunburg and rejection of President Trump.

The Obamacare Medicaid Expansion is NOT a "free market issue". It is a big government welfare state issue. It is one where the RINO leadership of the State Senate and the RINO leadership of the NC House are trying to bushwhack the GOP base and kowtow to Roy Cooper instead. Only Obama Republicans would support the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. Good thing there is a conservative group in the House, led by the Freedom Caucus and Rep. Kidwell fighting this idiot idea.

Doug Ford has been GREAT at defending Ontario from the wind and solar energy grifters, but has been a disappointment on Covid issues.

"TRUSTED"???????? No one should EVER trust those despicable left wing pirates at GoFundMe EVER AGAIN!

It looks like West Virginia's Attorney General is gearing up to go after GoFundMe.

American patients suffering Coronavirus are victims of corporate medicine, where big companies, usually organized around hospitals have bought up most of the local medical practices and dictate policy to them. Locally it is Vidant, and if your doctor gets a paycheck from Vidant, he or she will treat you according to Vidant's Covid protocols which are essentially the Fauci Covid protocols.

The Fauci / Vidant Covid protocols are to not attempt early treatment with thearapeutics, but instead to tell the patient to isolate at home, taking Tylenol, until they turn blue or can't breath. Then they are supposed to go to the hospital for a very expensive ICU stay, first with oxygen, and if that does not work, on a ventilator. If put on a ventilator, there is only a 10% survival rate. It has been difficult, and now impossible, for patients of doctors following this protocol to even get monoclonal antibodies like Regeron, but absolutely not any other early therapeutic treatments.

It is still possible to find a few independent doctors who will prescribe early treatment with therapeutic drugs, but then finding a pharmacy that will dispense them becomes an issue, since all the big chain pharmacies are in bed with Big Pharma and refuse to do so. In New Hampshire there is a bill going through the legislature to require pharmacies to dispense these drugs if a physician or nurse practictioner writes the prescription.

In Beaufort County, one has to go outside the county to find the independent doctors and pharmacies that will allow early treatment of Covid with therapeutics.

Doctors following the early treatment protocols have accused the doctors who follow the Fauci protocols of needlessly killing hundreds of thousands of patients by denying early treatment. Covid is showing that corporate medicine is nearly as bad for patients as government medicine.

With NC's Green New Deal, HB951, expect to see more pressure for the visual blight of wind and solar. It is surprising that our local historic commission caved in to installing this visual blight into our historic neighborhoods. The minutes of the meeting are up on the city website and they are depressing. It is clear that the commission was not offered and did not ask for a sample of what these misguided fools want to put on their roof, which is an "up yours" to all their neighbors who will have to live with this visual pollution. All they offered was Tesla pictures, which could easily be photoshopped to hide the visual warts of this system. These Moss Landing residents have gotten the foot in the door for lots of bad stuff for the Historic District. One hopes that neighborhoods with restrictive covenants will work to keep this garbage out. The Historic Commission sure let historic property owners down on this one.

The lithium battery problem is an additional issue. I am not sure that it is just Moss Landing houses at risk. It seems to me that some genuine historic houses are within 50 feet of that lithium battery. Building codes ought to be updated to protect against these things. Even the residents installing the battery are putting themselvers in danger, which Tesla probably never warned them about. What happens if that lithium spontaneously combusts in the middle of the night in their basement garage while they are asleep upstairs? Smoke rises. Will they even get out alive?

If memory serves, Tesla had a big project to put solar panels on commercial roofs which did not work out very well, and they got sued by companies foolish enough to install those roof panels.

This wind / solar crusade is a scam and needs a stake driven through its heart.

The county manager was way out of line in entering debate. He is not elected by the voters. He needs to be replaced. So, we have three anti-taxpayer commissioners including so-called "Republican" Rebholz. I hope this resolution will be brought up again in February so we can see how Frankie Waters votes on it. He is up for election this year, and if he votes anti-taxpayer, that can sink him.

''Compromise version"????? This Senate version of the HB951 was to the left of even the awful House version, and an even bigger sellout to the green left and to "woke" utility monopoly Duke Energy. It is even left of the EU's version of their "Green Deal". While Becki Gray stated sound principles that Locke supports including basing utility decisions on consumer cost and reliability, and also supporting forcing solar farms to make clean up arrangements for when they are no longer viable. she is completely in la-la land on the impacts of this bill. Thinking "woke" Duke Energy is going to build any more nuclear plants is just delusional, as they are concerned about their ESG score with the green left. Duke wants wind and solar which are neither reliable nor cheap. The main thrust of this bill is to help Duke kill coal fired power, the cheapest and one of the most reliable and replace it with expensive and unreliable wind and solar. It does so by requiring a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 (the EU is only 50% by 2030). Furthermore, this bill leaves it up to leftwing Cooper appointees in conjunction with "woke" Duke to work out the details. The politics of why Gray would sugar coat this bad bill are mystifying.

Follow the money. The financial stakes are huge for Big Pharma in pushing these "vaccines".
