This law will also help reduce housing costs for American citizens. As usual, the lefties run to the radical judges to try to screw things up.

What swampy Republican senators did or allowed to happen to the Big Beautiful Bill in the Senate is disgusting, and we need to replace all of them we can in the primaries, because we also need to replace the new McConnell, John Thune. It was the swampy Republicans themselves who were responsible for some ot the watered down items like cutting only half of Biden's spendthrift Green New Deal instead of all of it, like the House did. On other things like letting illegal aliens still get Medicaid, it was a matter of Thune refusing to overrule the Democrat Senate Parliamentarian who had been hired by Harry Reid. Why in the heck did we even have a Harry Reid holdover sitting in that position to screw with this bill? Too many "Republican" senators are really Democrats in Drag. Getting rid of that sellout Tillis is a good start, and so will be taking down Cornyn, Cassidy, and Graham, but there are more that need their walking papers. That idiot James Lankford who tried to do Biden's bidding on open borders comes up agains in 2028. He badly needs to go. All of these sellouts helped Obama and Biden get some of their key legislation through.

This is the best political news I have heard in a long time. No more Thom Tillis! Tillis has been a major promoter of the wind and solar boondoggle for decades.

"Fourth Reich" sounds about right for the way these globalists are behaving in Germany. Globalism is to the 21st century what fascism was to the 20th and communism to the 19th and 20th.

The partisan abuse of power by this Harry Reid holdover Senate parliamentarian just keeps getting worse and more blatantly partisan. This is the same woman who let Democrats stuff a "reconciliation" bill under Biden dubbed the "Inflation Reduction Act" with all sorts of highly ideological climate alarmist boondoggles and pork.

There is problem not time to remove her but she can be overruled by the Senate. Cowardly useless wimp John Thune refuses to do that. As soon as possible this despicable partisan witch needs a pink slip but wimp Thune will probably not do that either. He is just as utterly useless as Mitch McConnell.

You identified the problem. None of this is communicated to the public to allow them to respond until after the fact. We used to have a daily newspaper that carried information like this and had a wide circulation, but what is left of that newspaper is now a pathetic joke. It would help if online publications like this one would help try to get such information out.

What are council members who genuinely want to represent the public going to do? Realize that this budget is a massive burden on citizens and send it back for cuts. They don't have to have people tell them that to comprehend the problem. Unfortunately, Washington now has a council that is almost all pathetic yes-men who will do what Boss Sadler wants. That needs to change.

Joe Rogan demolished Bernie Sanders on the issue of "global warming" when Sanders appeared on Rogan's podcast. Sanders gave the usual globalist blather and Rogan took him apart with facts.

City government is a two man show. The current city council is a toothless joke because a majority is in the mayor's hip pocket. If he says jump, they ask "how high?". Between the major and the manager, I suspect that if the item in on the mayor's personal agenda, he calls the shots, and if not, it is the manager. Of course, Sadler's wife is the power behind his throne, and in many ways, she may be the one calling the shots. At city council meetings, one can witness her furiously texting the mayor up at the front telling him what to do, and him looking down at his phone reading her text instructions. And she holds no elected office. What a sad state our city government is in. Our school board and county are not any better.

This is just another example of how Phil Berger is in the hip pocket of Red China and doing their dirty work to destroy American business and open the door for Chinese competitors. By destroying our seafood industry, he helps China's dominance with its farm raised seafood, which is often of questionable quality.

"China Phil" did the same thing with the NC Green New Deal, HB951, where he is pushing types of energy heavily dominated by Red China - wind and solar - and trying to destroy American energy like coal and gas.

Phil Berger is an enemy and a traitor to America.

The British Conservative Party under small "c" conservative Margaret Thatcher introduced a program for occupants of "council houses" (social housing) to purchase the properties at a reduced price. That program was regarded as successful.

Taxpayers need a change from the tax-and-spend regime now running Washington. Heck, one of their councilmen actually lives in Aurora, not at the address on his voter registration. Another is functionally illiterate. The entire council are pathetic yes-men to Mauor Donald Sadler.

When will the Supreme Court crack down on these partisan, out of control, power grabbing Democrat judges?

Reports also say the shooter Boelter also ran an NGO called Red Lion that worked in the Congo, but ran out of money a few months ago. That smells like a USAID contractor, but if the USAID closure was his beef, this is a strange choice of targets. Maybe it was some kind of strange "false flag" operation. Gaza, USAID, "No Kings" give this a very left wing flavor but something seems to be missing here.

Electric cars can also catch fire when their battery bursts into flame in your driveway or garage and burn your house down. It is great that Trump is taking away the subsidies for them even if that gets Musk's panties in a twist.

Cheeseman got the gold mine. The parents, taxpayers, and students got the shaft. Cheeseman's gold mine is another resume entry on consolidation for his next job in a bigger, better paying school system. Everybody else gets a more screwed up school system., but the shaft is a particularly deep one for the people of Aurora and Richland Township.

This looks like more resume building by Cheeseman for his next job, but this group clearly has no clue about anything. They don't even know that Beaufort County is in Northeastern North Carolina. They think we are in southeastern NC. They clearly also know nothing about Cheeseman. So Cheeseman got some of his buddies to write nice and untrue things about him and send it to this clueless group who clearly flunked geography among other things. Now he gets something else to put on his resume.

You hit the nail on the head, Buzz. There has been no proper long range planning by the School Board or by the superintendent. It is all thrown together at the last minute. Heck, there has not even been proper short range planning. Look at Cheeseman's failure to discover that they did not own 4 acres of where they wanted to put the new mega elementary in Washington and had to scramble at the last minute, costing taxpayers half a million dollars. It is like we have the Three Stooges running things in the county schools.

And Frankie Waters in the mix? The same Frankie Waters who bankrupted Tri County Telephone during the years he ran that so its carcass had to be sold to an out of county company. THAT Frankie Waters? taxpayers are in real trouble.

The video shows that Babbitt was executed in cold blood by a deranged capitol cop who took stead aim to shoot to kill. What is a real travesty is that he was not prosecuted for that or even lose his job. Chauvin is sitting in jail for the death of George Floyd who probably died of a drug overdose and in any event was not intentionally killed, yet this officer is not even prosecuted and kept his job for a very deliberate killing. It is what you call a two tier system of justice.
