It looks to me that when Carolyn Walker switched her registration from Democrat, she still kept a lot of her old Democrat thinking. One would hope she would listen to President Trump and Vice President Vance and start thinking like a Republican, which she is supposed to be.

Phil Berger is poison. He endorsed a very liberal Democrat for superior court judge against a conservative Republican, and he has been charged by multiple county and district parties including our own 3rd District with party disloyalty. Those charges have been pending for a year, but our establishment hack NCGOP chairman Jason Simmons is pulling dodge after dodge to keep the trial from coming up at the state executive committee. The Berger mafia needs to GO.

Craven County is going to end up regretting not talking to folks here about this guy. I guess he saw the writing on the wall with the now booted city manager.

Washingtonian, Going from managing a city of almost 10,000 to a town of about 1.200 is a huge professional comedown for the former manager, but remember he walked away from here with a big stash of loot he did not deserve bestowed upon him by our corrupt defeated city political machine for being their loyal lackey. The new city government needs to claw that back, either from the former manager or from those who wrongfully bestowed it on him. Sue their pants off!

Stan, you are absolutely right about Frankie Waters. Since he has been a county commissioner, Waters has split Republicans in order to align with the liberal Democrats. He is as phony as a three dollar bill and always has been. Even during his first campaign for commissioner as a newly minted "Republican" Waters and his wife still made a political contribution during that campaign to a liberal Democrat local legislator. He made another Democrat financial contribution in 2022 to the Democrat nominee for Beaufort County Sheriff and had to resign from the Beaufort County Republican Executive Committee for party disloyalty as a result. Waters and Armstrong are two peas in a leftwing pod. No wonder they are buddying up. With "Republicans" like Waters and Armstrong, who even needs Democrats?

The attacks against Ms. Davis were organized by Cheeseman, who does not like independent thinkers on the school board. He prefers puppets like Carolyn Walker. Those attacks do not represent the public.

Jack Smith and James Boasberg are both threats to democracy and need to be prosecuted for what they have done. Their actions remind one of the Stalin Show Trials.

This is nothing but a conspiracy to steal from the taxpayers. All of those involved need to be taken to court either criminally or civilly or both. The only "political behaviors" that align with this city manager are Tammany Hall politics and he does not want to work for honest leaders. Screw him and the horse he rode in on. Who on the current corrupt city council voted for this travesty? IN times past, they would probably have been tarred and feathered and riden out of town on a rail.

Jimmy Dixon, the eastern NC "heavy" for Berger who is identified as recruiting the Berger candidates in the east is as big a piece of work as Berger himself. Dixon has a reputation of being a waterboy for the special interests and doesn't care who he screws in the process of doing their crooked bidding. Two things he tried to do for the special interests in the last session of the legislature that went against his own occupation as a farmer are good examples.

Dixon unsuccessfully pushed legislation to stop lawsuits against big out of state chemical companies which knowingly put cancer causing chemicals in products used by NC farmers. This bill would have prevented those NC farmers who got cancer from these products from suing the big out of state chemical companies for their injury.

Then Dixon tried to put farmers who supply raw milk out of business. Quite a few health conscience people swear by raw milk, and Dixon's legislation would have made it unavailable to them and shut down the farmers who supply it.

Even as a farmer himself, Dixon was willing to screw farmers to carry water for somebody, undoubtedly for some reward. Kidwell was one of the conservatives who helped stop these bad pieces of legislation from Dixon.

Then of course, Dixon was also on the liberal side of the big issues where Berger helped Roy Cooper and the Democrats - allowing boys in the girls restrooms (repeal of HB2), NC Green New Deal (HB951), and Obamacare Medicaid expansion.

Recruitment or endorsement by Jimmy Dixon should be the kiss of death among conservative voters for any candidate, just like an endorsement by Nancy Pelosi would be.

I saw some footage of anti-ICE protests and there were Mexican flags all through the crowd. If these interlopers want to be in Mexico, lets send them ALL back there.

It is not surprising that leftwing Google conspired with the UN to suppress information that was inconvenient for the UN's CO2 climate cult. Google's searches have long been known to be politically rigged. It is a very dishonest search engine filled with political manipulation. Conservatives should avoid Google and use one of the more honest search engines like DuckDuckGo. BraveSearch, or even Bing. Google is the absolute worst.

Considering that Whatley has a good bit higher name recognition at this point, those poll numbers are much more impressive for Brown than for Whatley.

Not surprising, Country Girl. A 16 year old does not have any more right to register to vote than a foreign citizen.

That Forest woman was a piece of work, vice chairman of the local party and headquarters manager but she regularly badmouthed conservative candidates right there in the headquarters. I had heard that she was gone but somebody saw her at the GOP tent at early elections. So, has she turned up again, like a bad penny?

The insiders are indeed trying to rig the game on our nominees. The best way to spell loser is W-H-A-T-L-E-Y. We need to keep this seat and to do it we need a nominee that is something other than a warmed over Tillis. At least we have someone else to vote for in that one. It does not look like we will on the Supreme Court seat, and we desperately need a nominee who is stronger than the one the insiders want to foist upon us.

Since NYC has gone communist, maybe we should just cede it to the UN, which has its headquarters there and let them run it. Build a wall around it and have a secure border with the place. Without NYC, the rest of the state would probably vote Republican. Let the UN have this hellhole. With a communist government, we should not want it.

Whatley is Tillis 2.0, and North Carolina does NOT need that! All the establishment money in the world cannot buy him the respect of conservative voters. If he is at the top of the ticket, it will be poison for Republicans farther down the ballot. NEVER WHATLEY
