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".

Ernie Coleman is a terrible steward of the taxpayers money, and his financial cronyism is hardly the only example of that. Voters need to look strongly at replacing him in the primary. That said, the attached poll to this article seems to be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It is a positive thing for citizens to have our local law enforcement leadership constrained by public opinion (politics). That is shown by all the sheriffs around the country, including North Carolina, who refused to enforce authoritarian Covid executive orders from out of control governors. Many sheriffs in NC did that, including Ernie Coleman. The only appointed police chiefs to do that were where they were conforming to what their local elected sheriff had already done. We need to keep our local law enforcement under an elected sheriff, but here in Beaufort County, it needs to be a different sheriff.

Greece is lucky that it still had its coal power plants around to restart. Many of the "woke" utility monopolies in the US like to blow them up or otherwise destroy them so they won't be around anymore. I have little doubt that very "woke" Duke Energy will do the same here in NC when they get the chance.

I suspect that gas power plants can be run off of coal, which would help some European countries. One of the clean coal technologies in the US is to gasify coal and then burn the coal gas in a system that resembles a gas power plant. Indeed when gas was cheaper than coal, some of those plants actually switched over to natural gas, so it is likely the reverse would also work to run gas power plants off of coal gas.

Coal gasification is an old technology. In eastern North Carolina prior to the War Between the States, there were coal gas plants in Washington and New Bern and probably elsewhere that produced coal gas and distributed it through pipes to power gas lights on streets and in homes. Washington's coal gas plant was at the corner of Bridge and Third Streets where the Doctor Pepper plant (now also gone) was later built.

Mitch McConnell is the RINO's RINO. Here in NC, we have a McConnell flunky, RINO former Governor Pat McCrory, trying to take the open Senate seat of RINO Richard Burr. We need to work to STOP McCrory. Either of the other two major candidates will do, but NOT McCrory. Mitch McConnell has carried water for Biden too many times. We need new Senate leadership that actually works for Republican principles and we need to elect Senators open to replacing McConnell. McCrory would be a McConnell rubberstamp.

''Build Back Better'' is a slogan concocted by the globalist totalitarian World Economic Forum of Davos. Any politician who uses it like Biden, Trudeau, and Johnson are globalist totalitarians. Another slogan of the World Economic Forum is "You will own nothing and you will be happy". The BBB plans are the mechanism to getting to people owning nothing.

It is not just wildlife who are victims of offshore wind turbines. Humans are also big victims through our electric bills. Offshore wind electricity costs a lot more than conventional electricity. The New York Daily News had a article earlier this year on a new contract between the Long Island Power Authority and an offshore wind electric producer where they were paying four and a half times as much wholesale for the wind energy as they were paying wholesale for conventional electricity. That gets passed on to the consumer in their power bills.

DeSantis is great and the media ISN'T. The MSM kept beating the drum that Kyle Rittenhouse was a racist and white supremist when there was no evidence whatsoever of that. Yet the Christmas parade murderer in Wisconsin actually has a very racist and black supremist history and the same MSM refuses to discuss that. Our MSM is about as objective and honest as Pravda was in the Stalin era. Disgusting.

What a spendthrift Jim Perry is. The money to welfare type organizations raises eyebrows, but the big one is continuing to pour lots of money into the biggest boondoggle in state history, the "Global Transpark" to the tune of $16 million of taxpayer money. This failure goes all the way back to the early 1990s when a business professor at NC State University convinced the governor that the fad of "just in time manufacturing" was about to really take off in the business world, and that building a facility geared to that concept would give NC a leg up in attracting industry. They built the Global Transpark but nobody came. The fad of just in time manufacturing did not take off as the professor had thought. The Transpark got labeled appropriately as the "Transpork" because the state kept beating this dead horse, continuing to put money into it. They did get a couple of aircraft repair type businesses, smallish operations that did not justify all the expenditures, but they kept limping along. The Transpark is an example of government programs that never seem to die even though they should have been put out of their misery long ago. The Global Transpark was an idea that failed decades ago but spendthrift Senator Jim Perry is boasting about wasting another $16 million there.
