This is a major bill that marks a special interest Republican, one who thumbs his nose at the voters back home in order to carry water for the powerful special interests. It is what special interest whore Sen. Jim Perry (RINO-Kinston) does all the time, and he is in the lead for the special interests on this one, too.

On the other hand, we can thank Rep. Keith Kidwell for standing up for conservative principles on this bill. Most of the opposition to it came from the conservative Freedom Caucus which he leads.

While Long Leaf Politics is sort of a center right source, a more solidly conservative source gives the real scoop on this bill and the role of the "bent" legislative leadership, Tim Moore and Phil Berger, in ramming it through. They are whores for the special interestes and care nohting about grassroots Republicans or Republican principles.

The left today are what I would call neo-racists. They want to inject race into everything, and some of the most vile racism out there today is that pushed by the left using the Orwellisan term "anti-racism". Bigot Bob is a prima example. The immigration issue is about citizenship, NOT race.

There have been lots of cases of a good guy or gal with a gun stopping a criminal or terrorist.

What happened at Uvalde was rent-a-cops being cowards and even stopping outside lae enforcement from going in. In the Nashville terrorist atack by a transgender, on the other hand, local law enforcement went into action immediately and took down the terrorist. That terrorist specifically picked that school as a target because she determined that it was gun free whereas her other investigated targets had armed defenders present.

A sign outside a school saying something like "staff are armed and will defend this school, outside guns prohibited" would be a huge deterent to these terrorists because most of them are cowards and want to attack where people are not armed to shoot back. We do not need to let our schools be soft targets.

The Parkland attack is what motivated the Florida legislature to pass the bill to allow armed teachers. If they had those during the Parkland attack, it would have been a different story. In fact, as no longer a soft target, it would have probably detered the shooter from even attempting it.

There are too many puppets of the superintendant on that school board. Simply put, we need more representative of the parents and taxpayers.

Woke history is distorted history. It is teaching leftist propaganda instead of what really happened. Orwell described what today's left is up to in his novel "1984":

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

The experience of Sweden showed that the herd immunity concept worked better on stopping the virus than lockdowns and masks, and had the benefit of avoiding all the other societal harm from the lockdowns. Keeping schools open was also something that Europe generally proved that the American approach was wrong on.

You use the word "reality" in an Orwellian sense, Big Government Bob. TO most of us what you call "reality" is really just your fantasy.

The courts never allowed any of these cases filed right after the election to get to the discovery stage, where evidence could have been obtained from the election officials. Election officials themselves have worked to make evidence unavailable. In some cases, like the Georgia Chief Justice, they fudged the rules themselves to sit on things to allow the stall ball.

You obviously know nothing about how the law operates, and just rehash the far left talking points.

Biden is doing all he can to give us a state sponsored religion - Climate Scientology.

The report was a joint work of several UN agencies, inlcluding the UN Commissioner on Human Rights. How in the world do these UN agencies think pedophilia is a human right? Very few UN reports get voted on by the UN General Assembly. Almost none. The UN functions more as a bureaucracy than a legislative body, and this is one of its more sinister bureaucratic products.

Google is a privacy-invading, conservative-censoring leftwing "woke" corporation. No conservative, and nobody concerned with their own privacy should ever deal with any aspect of Google.

Their whole businees model is build on collecting your own private data and selling it to others. They scoop that up from every interface you have with them.

There are alternatives. For their highly censored search engine, that collects and sells your data, there are less censored alternatives like Bing and DuckDuckGo, the latter of which also has some protection to your data. BraveSearch is the best one that is both unceonsored and privacy protected.

For their Android smart phone, which also collects your data, the best alternative are the Andriods that have been de-Googled, and their are several de-Googled althernative operating systems that one can find for sale, already installed in a phone on EBady.

Please, liberate yourself from the Google leach.

Locke' president is spot on that the Obamacare Medicaid expansion is "a loss for conservatism". The liberal RINOs responsibile need to be removed from office, and that starts with liberal RINO state senator Jim Perry who (mis)represents Beaufort County. Our sellout RINO legislative leadership of Berger and Moore also badly needs to be swept away.

I'm sure that many liberals would rather have some 9 year olds wasted by a "transgender" terrorist than a teacher cut off the attack by using her own gun to put down the terrorist. They are totally sick to be so anti-gun as to deny the protection of a good guy with a gun.

Too bad she did not have a gun, or at least a crossbow. It is time to arm trained and vetted school personnel. Florida authorized that over a year ago, and they have not had these problems since.

Curious. This afternoon, over 24 hours after the big gas price hike at Speedway, Duck Through has matched it, but Murphy Express is still at $3.42 / gallon, and the convenience store across from the new police station still is at $3.49. There was one prior instance where Murphy simply refused to budge when Speedway jacked up the price, and eventually Speedway

Roy Cooper is the one who injected politics into public school curriculaums. He does not want the let Republicans de-politicize his leftwing curriculum.
