Commented on Biden's energy policies amount to treason

In addition to gas prices, Biden is deliberately trying to drastically raise our electric rates. He is attacking coal and gas, two of the most efficient and economical sources of electricity, and at the same time wanting to massively subsidize the construction of the most expensive, offshore wind. Biden wants to pay developers, mostly foreign owned, half the cost of building these red herrings, then force American consumers to buy their product, whose cost is running three to four times what conventional electricity costs. Other drawbacks of offshore wind are destroying marine eco-systems, devastating sea bird populations, creating new vulnerabilities to hurricanes for our electric grid, destroying fishing grounds for our commercial fishermen, and threatening endangered species. Beijing Biden is working against American interests.

Commented on International Group Wants All New Fossil-Fuel Projects Stopped

Thanks, J. Coward. That documentary that was broadcast nationwide by the UK's Channel 4 is a great scientific rebuttal to the fake science of the climate alarmists. The many prominent scientists interviewed rip the global warming theory to shreds. It is telling that none of the cowardly US TV networks either make their own documentary or even broadcast that one. It is just fortunate that YouTube, which is now censorship prone continues to leave it up so Americans can watch it.

Commented on Wall Street Journal: Gas under Biden going to 5 dollars a gallon

Like gas prices, Biden's policies will also cause a huge increase in electric rates. That is due to his pushing expensive and unreliable wind and solar electricity. Going gung ho on wind and solar is why Germany pays three timges as much for electricity as North Carolina. Biden is going to clobber the middle class economically.

Commented on International Group Wants All New Fossil-Fuel Projects Stopped

This UN agency is in the hard core climate alarmist camp and pushing a radical global sort of "green new deal". Climate alarmism represents what the immediate past president of the Czech Republic, Dr. Vaclav Klaus, called "a budding totalitarian ideology which is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today. They represent "scientists" as marching in lockstep with them but that is simply not true. A great presentation of the REAL science on "global warming" is the British TV documentary "The Great Global Warming Swnidle" broadcast nationally on Channel 4 which interviews prominent scientists who rip the global warming / climate change theory to shreds. It can be viewed here: www.youtube.com

Commented on Much of the 1619 Project is bogus, as is much of critical race theory

The fake 1619 project is just a rehash of how the old Soviet Union used to present American history. Having this despicable Marxist propagandist "teach" at UNC is bad enough, but this same garbage will be introduced to our school children across North Carolina thanks to a radical state Board of Education majority's warping of the social studies curriculum in public schools. That is even more dangerous. Local school boards need to state rejecting THAT.

Commented on Biden offshore wind projects threaten fisheries and environment

What a ripoff. A monopoly utility contracts to buy electricity from wind turbines for over four times the current wholesale power price for electricity in their area. These projects must be called "green" energy because of all of the money extracted from electric customers.

Commented on Biden offshore wind scheme would double electric bills

The Biden climate alarmists seem intent on at least doubling our gas pirces. Now it is our electric bills, too. Americans cannot afford Joe Biden.

Commented on Apple to build a huge campus in RTP

The corrupt "incentives" to pay this left wing "woke" company to come to North Carolina are an abomination. Taxpayers are getting royally ripped off by what Crooked Roy Cooper has done. While Cooper's authoritarian lockdowns have destroyed North Carolina small businesses, Cooper is giving away the ranch to a massive woke company that is trying limit free speech of Americans. At one stage in the deal, 90% of state taxes paid by Apple employees will be returned by Apple. This is the biggest taxpayer ripoff in our history.

Commented on Frankie Waters needs to learn that the public's business must be handled in public, legal meetings

Frankie Waters is the Joe Biden of Beaufort County. The only difference is that Waters pretends to be a Republican. But Waters alliance with Biden Democrat Jerry Langley shows he is a complete fake. Frankie Waters was a life long Democrat become before nominally becoming a "Republican" for political convenience just before filing to run for commissioner. Bidenite Waters plays ball with the liberal Democrats on the board and opposes the Republican caucus. And why does John Rebholz act as little more than Waters' rubber stamp? Pathetic!

Commented on A case of the pot calling the kettle black

Coke requires a picture ID to get into its shareholders meetings and vote on corporate matters. By their own absurd definition, are they being "racist" themselves? Do they think voting in one of their shareholder meetings is more important than voting for public officials? Are they that arrogant? For me it will be Pepsi or Royal Crown cola from now on. I see that Piggly Wiggly sells Royal Crown. Coke can get stuffed!

Commented on Biden proposes a 2 TRILLION dollar "infrastructure plan" to be paid by higher taxes and more debt. Not an April Fools joke.

Biden's tax plan will put heavier taxes on American businesses that operate in the United States than Communist China charges American businesses that operate there. That will drive manufacturing away from the US and to places like China. This plan is pro-China, not pro-America. The "Build Back Better" slogan comes from the neo-Marxism World Economic Forum's "Great Reset". Another slogan of the Great Reset is "you will own nothing and you will be happy".

Commented on California horror scenario could sink Biden

Solar and wind energy greatly increase electric rates everywhere they are imposed. Germany now pays three times as much as we do in North Carolina, due to large scale use of wind and solar, and it is increasing rapidly. The state of South Australia in going to 50% wind and solar also went from the cheapest residential electric rates in the world to the most expensive. We do not need the wind and solar boondoggle in the US or in NC.

Commented on Backroom meetings reported at legislature of solar energy special interests

North Carolina electric customers have already paid two billion dollars in rate overcharges from solar energy. We don't need any more of this crap or wind either. They are consumer ripoffs. Any legislator in their hip pocket needs to be tossed out of office. They are crooks.

Commented on Semi-annual jail inspection report: No deficiencies

The state is telling us that there is nothing wrong with our jail. Why is it that the tax-and-spend coalition of Jerry Langley, Ed Booth, Frankie Waters, and John Rebholz want to spend our tax money out the wazoo to build a new one and greatly raise our taxes?
