Comments by Van Zant | Eastern North Carolina Now

How can the local Republican Party be working for the Democrat candidate against a Republican candidate in a general election. There used to be disloyalty rules to punish that sort of thing. Are these practices widespread or just found in Beaufort County?

I've never been a Tillis fan. I guess the jury is out on Budd. The way things are shaping up Roy Cooper has got to be salivating for the senate race in two years.

I don't see much sign that the NC GOP is up to the challenges coming up. Let's face it. They have utterly failed in a Trump wave year. That's a N.C. disaster. Things are not likely to be better in two years. It is getting more and more obvious that the answers must be found outside of the presently configured organized GOP.

CV: You seem to be conversing with a moron that thinks people alive today lived hundreds of years ago.

Then: Both Karine Jean-Pierre and President Joe Biden repeatedly told the press that there were no plans to pardon his son.

Now: Hunter gets a blanket pardon covering any and everything he did or may have done - A sweeping pardon making a mockery of equal justice under law.

Did anybody really think the Biden crime family wouldn't cover the door on the way out of their crime spree heist?

CV: Me too. I'm not in either of their districts, but I would have voted for them if they were.

Both Gaetz and Bondi are way better picks than Merrick Garland. It's hard to imagine getting worse than Garland.

If I remember correctly, didn't Thom Tillis vote to ratify Garland. It will be interesting to see how the Repub Thune goons approach the Trump nominations.

Of course, the 8 million votes were phantom votes. Remember after the 2020 episode many of the corporate types couldn't contain their pride in what they had accomplished and bragged about it. In their playbook the ends justify the means. They don't care if anyone with more than $hi# for brains know it. Getting away with it is all that matters.

The corporate media do not do journalism. They are the modern-day equivalent of hired guns brought into a range war.

Can't expect a snake pit to be transparent. I'm waiting for the tattle tales to expose them. It's a safe bet Tillis voted for Thune. We'll see about Budd. If he messed up, he's going in my Burr file.

Kamala Harris and her blatantly lying campaign were sure enough a big loser in this election season. To paraphrase her campaign: It's OK that we elected Hitler because it's a lie that Trump is Hitler. Yeah, that's pretty convoluted.

In a season of lots of losers, I think the biggest loser is the corporate main-stream media. They went all in on the deceitful Harris selection by the Democrat powerbrokers and their horrendously dishonest campaign first to last. They were (and are) not practicing journalism. They are fanatical, dishonest advocates. It has all been exposed, and the corporate media is left with zero credibility to all but the most radical, the most ignorant, and the most stupid among us. Our society has for quite a while been replacing this corrupt institution with other sources. After this election, that process should be much closer to completion.

Another monumental loser in all of this is the NC GOP and the citizens of North Carolina. Trump won North Carolina in spite of the pathetic pay-for-play NCGOPe that abandoned the Republican Council of State candidates and left us a disaster at home in a year of a Trump landslide. In NC the GOP must be reformed. If not, it will continue to rot into oblivion. Perhaps the GOP in NC is in the process of being replaced too. Already, conservatives are being forced to find support outside of a hostile GOP while running under the GOP banner. Congratulations to those candidates because they, like Trump, have had to do it the hard way.

Agree entirely. The NC GOP did not have the backs of Bishop and Morrow. How much you want to bet the NC GOP would have had the backs of slime like Tillis and Moore.

Beaufort County conservatives have made some gains. It's no surprise that Richardson has been re-elected again. Now, conservative Tandy Dunn is on the county commission, too.

Of the three conservatives in the school board general election races, one of them beat a long-term board member. I'll take that as a victory, but the two that did not make it this time had a lot to offer. I hope to see them in the future.

The Democrats accuse others of being everything they are.

RH - You are absolutely right. In the race for governor the opportunist is the lesser threat to our state. Josh Stein is totally dishonest. Even worse, his radicalism is scary. Horror movie scary.

The progs will do anything to keep control. This episode was disturbing but kind of funny, too. Gyawli is at the bar all smug bragging to the chick about his "Special Weapons and Tactics team" and how they "automatically demote" and "shadowban" as part of an election manipulation strategy that he calls "civic integrity." You would think this stuff couldn't be made up, even though George Orwell did predict it.

Gyawli's response when he found out the girl was an undercover journalist was priceless: "Ah f***!" click.

RINOs are hard enough to take as they are. If they have descended to Bogus Boob status they may as well join the Communist Party.

[Verse]
Kama-Liar was a Bullfrog
Not a good friend of mine
Never understood a single word she said
Couldn't help her drink her wine
She always had some mighty bad wine
singn'

[Chorus]
Joy to the world
All the tranny boys and girls
Joy to the commies in the deep blue sea
Joy to Tim and me.

When Trump wins in a landslide the lib tard prog thugs will take the opportunity to bust in the stores, haul out the loot, and burn the cities down again. Yeah, more main-stream reporters talking about mostly peaceful protesting with the smoke billowing in the background. On election night, Kamala and Tim will probably get drunk with Hillary and send out a spokesman. In the morning, like Hillary, they will claim they were robbed.
