The folks saying this are British journalists, you socialist buffoon, Bolshevik Bob.

The real danger is that some of the insurrectionist Democrats in Congress are already talking about not certifying Trump's election when he wins.

Equity is nothing but government dictated favoritism of some groups over others and that is extremely un-American. The whole Biden-Harris DEI fiasco is extremely un-American.

Of course, to LIttle Bobbie, ANYTHING that is not part of the far left narrative becomes "a lie". That is simply his definition of the word "lie".

The real question is what would the country do? Maybe the old Czechloslovakia and its "velvet divorce" offers an alternative. Those parts of the country that believe in America as we have known it go one way, and those who believe in Kamunism and globalism go the other in an agreed partition. That is not something I have supported in the past, but we may now be at the point that any other option is worse.

Of course, the best hope is that sanity, in the form of the Republican ticket prevails in November. Even then, if the hard left parts of the country want to leave, maybe we should just let them go.

Ron deSantis nailed what the left was doing in the schools and put a stop to it. You lefties can pitch your tantrum all you want about that. But what about that Pennsylvania court case? You are dodging any answer on that. Also the California law.

Governor deSantis caught them red handed in Florida, and it is even worse in liberal states. Parents in Pennsylvania just sued successfully to keep their children out of "Transgender Awareness classes." stage.redstate.com
California just passed a law that prohibits teachers from even telling parents if their children are engaged in "transgender" behavior in school.

The school board attorney is just one of the outside contracts that Cheeseman has taken away from Beaufort County and given to people outside of the county. He pushed out the local attorney who had served for many years as local school board attorney, and never sought anyone local to take her place. He got his yes-men and yes-women on the school board to agree to bring in this Durham Democrat who he had previously brought in to Chowan County.

But lets look at some of the other contracts taken away from local people by Cheesemen and approved by his flunkies on the school board. One was for grounds maintenance which was taken from a local company that had held it for a long time and was doing a good job and turned over to a Pitt County company. Then there was the website contract taken from a local company doing a good job and given at a considerably higher cost to an out of state company. This seems to be Cheeseman's MO.

It is disgusting that our elected school board sat there fat, dumb, and happy and let Cheeseman take jobs away from local people to give them to his buddies outside Beaufort County.

Bobbie has succinctly stated the attitude of FEMA under Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas, but don't forget Kamala's one time payment of $750 when banks and stores aren't working to use it, while illegal aliens are being paid $2,500 a month.

If FEMA has money then why did Mayorkas say it did not? Isn't that a bit weird?

If FEMA had money and was competently led, why did they not pre-stage supplies, equipment, and personnel like FEMA always has in the past for major storms? The Republican governors of Florida and Georgia did that pre-staging and it made for great storm response in those states. In fact, help from hard hit Florida in the form of Florida National Guard and rescue teams arrived in western North Carolina to help us before FEMA did.

And there you go falsely playing the race card again. Illegal aliens are of many races, including white. What sets them apart is not race but the fact that they are foreigners who do not belong in our country. Legal immigrants are also of many races, but have been vetted and approved. There is a massive difference. Taxpayers should not be subsidiZing lawbreaking by illegal aliens.

Hurricane Helene shows how Democrats cannot govern. North Carolina Democrat Roy Cooper was like FEMA and did not pre-stage for the response. It was the Republican governors who had their acts together in a robust response.

In the governor's race, it is simply a matter of the lesser of the evils. A flawed opportunist like Robinson is better than an extreme leftist like Josh Stein (or should it be Frankenstein, maybe he shortened the familty name). Stein is an open borders amnesty whore while Robinson seems okay on immigration issues. Stein favors allowing biological boys on girls sports teams and in girls restrooms and locker rooms. Robinson opposes that. Issue after issue, Stein is very wrong for North Carolina. Issues happen to matter more than personalities.

What of the minor party options? The only two that conservatives would consider are the Constitution Party and Libertarian Party. The Constitution Party candidate received a zero score from gun rights advocates and has had nothing to say about immigration. He is not trustworthy on issues. The Libertarian candidate did score very strong on gun rights but is silent on immigration and his party is historically for open borders.

Even considering minor parties, Robinson, flawed though he is, still is a less bad choice than anyone else on the ballot for governor.

Those pictures and others I have seen are terrible. My mothers' family is from the NC mountains and I can imagine how those narrow valleys flood easily. If someone will provide a reliable organization providing storm assistance, I will be happy to send a check. There is a great video from a Charlotte meterologist toward the bottom of the linked article that explains what is happening so far in the recovery. It looks like the biggest problem is logistics in getting thing into the hard hit areas; redstate.com

Speaking of political figures, I see that Joe Biden is relaxing on the beach trying to explain why he is not in action monitoring the situation and helping and Kamala Harris interrupted her California fundraising junket briefly and staged a photo of her supposedly getting briefed by FEMA with a blank pad in front of her and her earbuds not even plugged into the phone that was on the table.

So Bigot Bob's twisted idea of "social justice" seems to be allowing non-citizens to vote. No, Bobbie, sovereign countries just don't do that.

And is he ignorant enough not to comprehend that these ineligible voters were removed by a Democrat-controlled NC Board of Elections that has been pullling political stunts for the Democrats this entire election cycle? Or does he think we will not see through his ignorant blather?

Bolshevik Bob calling everyone right of center "MAGA" is like a conservative calling everyone left of center a communist. I know his talking points tell him to do it, but it is just dishonest. Conservatives come in many stripes, from traditional Reagan-style conservatives like myself to the populist nationalist MAGA style conservatives. That is not only true in America, but in Europe as well. ONly Little Bobbie's far left taling points will not let him see that.

What Biden did, and there is a lawsuit filed by the state of Missouri over it, was to use the aura of the White House and government to dictate to social media companies what they had to censor on their sites. That is a massive attack on free speech. Biden and Harris also tried to set up a "Disinformation Governance Board" for the same purpose, but there was so much pushback against that attack on the 1st Amendment that he cancelled it.

The holocaust in our lifetime was on Oct. 7, 2023, when nazi-style terrorists of Hamas attacked Jewish civilians, men, women,and children in souther Israel, killing, raping, and torturing thousands including putting babies in ovens. Bigot Bob has made apologies for that terrorist. Mark Robinson, as acting governor when Cooper was out of state, issued a proclaimation in support of Israel. Bigot Bob is the Oct 7 holocaust denier.

Bolshevik Bob, why don't you take your sicko tunnel vision and stick it where the sun does not shine. I have never seen so much personal hate delivered in a political campaign as the Democrats are spewing in this one. Democrats don't want to talk about real issues, they just want to spew personal hate. At their national convention, Democrats did not want to present policy as they prefered to just spew hate.

WOKE - too evil to govern.
