I cannot see any conservative supporting ANYTHING Nancy Pelosi does. Pelosi played this in a way that is harmful to Taiwan in order to try to make political points for herself, and THAT should not be supported.

Sue and settle is a corrupt way for the left to make policy. In this case a liberal Democrat state Attorney General, and a liberal Democrat DHHS Secretary colluded with a leftwing special interest homo organization, and it was all sanctioned by an Obama judge. This corruption just stinks. When a statute passed by the legislature is challenged, the legislature ought to have standing in court to defend it, not a politically corrupt far left state Attorney General like Josh Stein (or should he be called Josh FrankenStein?)

These terrible anti-consumer pro-climate alarmist policies were adopted by the General Assembly through some really outrageous power plays of Speaker Tim Moore and Senate President Phil Berger (or should his name be Thunberger?). Citizens have been screwed to the wall to adopt far left policies. Here is the sorry nitty-gritty of how this debacle was pulled off: www.beaufortcountynow.com

Here's the rest of the story on the hero who stopped the mall shooting in Indiana. The mall had declared itself a "gun free zone" and the bad guy disobeyed that bringing his gun thinking it would be a turkey shoot where no one could shoot back since it was a "gun free zone". Fortunately, the good guy with a gun either did not see that sign or disregarded it. Either way, he is a hero and stopped the bad guy.

Gun free zones are like a magnet to attract bad people who want to cause trouble. They should be prohibited by law.

Just think if one of those teachers in that elementary school in Texas had a gun. A lot of children would have been saved.

Similar regulations to those the globalist Dutch government is demanding have just wrecked the economy of Sri Lanka and turned it into a failed state with the mob in control, shortages of everything, and its president fleeing the country. If the Constitution still permits it, King Willem-Alexander should consider dismissing the Rutte government and calling a new election.

The EU seems to have no concern about the wind turbines they promote killing millions of birds and bats and destroying lots of wildlife habitat, but they want to destroy farming in order not to have algae blooms in swamps?

The FBI has morphed into a political secret police that needs to be repealed and replaced. It is akin to the old East German Stasi secret police, which now seems to be their role model.

If a site HAS to have a token leftie, it is good to have one as absolutely clueless as Tom Campbell. All the polls show that the Supreme Court ruling giving states control of abortion laws will have NO impact either way in the election. But Campbell blithers on based totally on ideology, not reality.

Speaker Tim Moore is a brainless twit. The Democrats should be made to vote on the parents bill of rights, so it can be used against them in the Fall campaign. Duh! Tim Moore is PROTECTING the Democrats by his arrogant refusal to put this legislation to a vote. Shame on him. Tim Moore is betraying Republican voters and needs to be removed as Speaker. Moore wants a vote on far left Obamacare Medicaid expansion, but NOT the Parents Bill of Rights.

This is an attack on women's rights. They will have unfair competition in women's sports from men who have more strongly built bodies, and they will have no privacy in restrooms or locker rooms. This bill is pure perversion and pure evil.

What we have in North Carolina is too many of our RINO legislators, including the "leadership" embracing Biden policies - Obamacare Medicaid expansion, Green New Deal, and radical Gender Identity ideology, for example. The Democrats are trying to stab us in the front while the RINOs stab us in the back.

What absolute leftwing garbage. Did Schumer's own spinmeister put that statement together for Tillis, misrepresenting the dangers to our gun rights, especially with promotion of red flag laws? Tillis has sold us down the river on so many things. We MUST defeat him in his next primary. DOWN< DOWN< DOWN with Tillis!

Here is the truth about this awful bill from Gun Owners of America:

The RINO senator who will represent Beaufort County beginning in January, Sen. Jim Perry (RINO-Kinston) is a supporter of "medical" marijuana legislation in the General Assembly.

One of the key give aways as to whether these bio-labs are for defensive or offensive purposes is the sheer number of them. If someone is doing something nefarious with biolabs, they keep it contained, like Red China with only 3 or 4 labs like Wuhan. On the other hand, if someone is trying to protect the population from natural diseases or bio warfare, they want lots of them so that there will be somewhere local for victims to go to for attention. Security is much easier with a few facilities. It is a bitch with a large number of them.

DOD plays defense as well as offense.

There is nothing nefarious per-say about a bio-lab, but they can, of course be used for the wrong purposes, like the one in Wuhan. Nothing in that material shows anything nefarious about those in Ukraine. Of course, when Biden's "woke" military, or even worse, Anthony Fauci, say anything, you cannot be certain it is true. That said there is no indication that these labs were anything evil.

Ukraine is in a dangerous neighborhood, with a next door bully known to have biological weapons, so it would make sense to take precautions against them to try to treat victims if they were attacked with bio weapons.

Hitler and Stalin were both dictators who imposed gun control on their citizens, as was Castro. Now Castro's reputed bastard son, Justin Trudeau, is seeking to do in Canada what his biological father did in Cuba.

Hitler came to power in 1933, but his Reich gun law was not imposed until 1938, and sadly is still part of German law today. The first targets of gun confiscation were Germans of the Jewish faith. They would likely have liked to have still had their guns when the Gestapo came calling for trips to the camps a few years later.

In the Soviet Union, even Lenin did not impose strict gun control. It took Stalin to do that. The only guns Stalin permitted Soviet citizens to own were single shot rifles, and even those were strictly limited. Defense against the KGB was simply not going to be allowed.

Dr. Andy Jackson has a short memory or limited research. Ballot harvesting first became an issue in North Carolina 2016, NOT 2020. In 2016, evidence of ballot harvesting to help the Democrats including Roy Cooper was presented to the NC Board of Elections, but they voted 3 to 2 not to pursue it. Ballot harvesting has been a cottage industry for the Democrats in Columbus, Bladen, and Robeson counties for many years. It came to light in the 2016 governor's race because there were lots of ballots that had a write-in candidate in the same repeated handwriting and color of ink, and those ballots were also all voted straight Democrat.

McRae Dowless was a longtime DEMCORACT ballot harvester but in 2018 sold his servives to a GOP Congressional campaign. Democrat ballot harvesters operated in Columbus, Bladen, and Robeson counties in 2018, and the Democrat ballot harvesting opoertion was much more extensive than what Dowless did for Harris. WBTV in Charlotte ran news stories that showed the Democrat ballot harvesting, but funny thing, the Democrat controlled SBOE refused to investigate that. Robeson is a much larger county than Bladen, and only part of Bladen was in the 9th district while all of Robeson was. Democrat ballot harvesting in Robeson County far exceeded what Dowless did in Bladen, but the SBOE put their head in the sand on that.

Ballot harvesters ought to get prison time, whoever they work for.

All Beaufort County Republicans should remember RINO Senator Jim Perry's betrayal of us on Obamacare Medicaid expansion when it comes primary time again. He needs to be replaced by a real Republican instead of a special interest go-fer.
