Commented on Queen Garris - Déjà vu “All Over Again”Rino Hunter, you are spot on correct about McConnell and Graham. In fact, Lindsey is one of the most prolific traitors in my lifetime. Besides all that you pointed out, war-hawk Graham was the driving force behind the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, which codified into law all the unconstitutional measures adopted by Presidents Bush and Obama, which were outside the constraints of the Constitution, and outside the Geneva Conventions, and the internationally recognized laws of war.
That single bill authorized violating no fewer than 14 provisions of the Constitution, including over half of the Bill of Rights. It designated anybody, American citizen or not, as an enemy combatant, declared the whole world as the "battlefield," including the homeland. The rights protected under the Constitution apply to all people under the umbrella protection of the Bill of Rights. The word "citizen" doesn't appear in the Bill of Rights. It simply refers to "person" or "persons," acknowledging the humanity required to recognize that unalienable, God-given Rights apply to all people, not just citizens. Lindsey Graham didn't care about that. He famously said on the floor of the Senate, "...and when they say I want my lawyer, you tell them to shut up, you don't get a lawyer, you're an enemy combatant." For years, that audio clip was the ringtone I set on my phone for my general counsel, as a constant reminder of what traitors are doing under the guise of national security. It's as if the Framers had never warned us about giving up a little liberty for security. He lied and twisted Supreme Court rulings to fit his narrative that they could do whatever it took under the color of law to have their way. A Democrat President signed it into law, but RINO Republicans put it on his desk. I did NOT lower my flag in his honor. He had none. He was a traitor, plain and simple. I'm glad he's no longer a threat. I don't care who it offends. He was the domestic enemy within that Cicero warned us about over 2,000 years ago.

Commented on Queen Garris - Déjà vu “All Over Again”Death or rage. That describes what liars and thieves might encounter messing with Stan. In all seriousness, this cancer has long since metastasized into a life and death struggle for the soul of the party.
My political mentors and sponsors encouraged me to attend the 2008 RNC National Convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul. I ended up at a campground in a large adult staff cabin in which several conservative delegates were staying. Rep. Ron Paul was a rising star. I had worked with him on issues in Congress, found he had the best constitutional voting record in Congress, and supported his candidacy. Boy, were my eyes opened. On a daily basis I heard stories about RINO double-dealing, backstabbing shenanigans.Ron Paul was receiving death threats, some of which I'm sure came from the RINO crowd. He had his own security, but on the day he was supposed to speak, they would not allow his security detail to enter the convention hall. Petty BS seemed to be the order of the day, every day. Petty RINO BS. By 2012, several GOP state chairs lobbied me and my general counsel to come to the convention in Tampa, to advise them on constitutional and parliamentary procedure issues at the convention. We went. It was the most depressing political event I've ever attended. Everything I'd been told was wrong with the Dems was on full display. My staff and I were in a funk for a month afterwards, as if there had been a death in the family. What we saw and experienced disgusted us all. After swearing off such, that I would never go back, I got sucked into going to Cleveland for the 2016 convention. Same dog and pony. Different city. It cemented why you guys had launched the Beaufort Observer, to provide truth and accuracy to counter the Washington Daily leftist dribble from across the aisle, and the Conservative Republican Club to counter the RINO dribble coming from within your own party. When I wasn't traveling around the country, or to Capitol Hill, and found myself a local group of wonderful people to work with on the issues conservatives actually care about: with you guys. There were times I brought information to you that contradicted what you'd been told by prominent national groups that you should be able to trust, but that were actually part of the RINO control network. I saw the cognitive dissonance on your faces as you tried to reconcile what you thought you knew with what I had shared. I brought receipts. You licked your wounds, and accepted the truth. That was all my mission was about, restoring constitutional governance, and you can't get that or keep that without knowing the truth. Read between the lines. The truth has always, and always will set us free, with God's Grace to recognize it. We have a duty of allegiance and protection the Founders spoke prominently about. Initially, those terms were included in all the state constitutions, including North Carolina's original state constitution. It was the violation of that mutual duty that was the foundation of the Declaration of Independence that provided the righteous indignation necessary for the world to know who the good guys were, who to support. They clarified at the end the DOI how important it was, by pledging their lives, their fortunes, and most importantly, their sacred honor. Nothing has changed in 250 years in that regard, which is why Washington's Farewell Address is as relevant today as when it was written, and why the work of the Conservative Republican Club over the past 20 years, and hopefully the next 20 is so important. As Jefferson said, "eternal vigilance" is the price of freedom. Vain and aspiring men (and women) will forever attempt to hijack and undermine righteous patriots to seize or maintain control. Jefferson also said, "When you find yourself at the end of your rope, tie a knot in it, and hang on." Thanks for hanging on. God Bless America and those that defend Her.

It's nice that Rep. Murphy is attempting to cut medical costs. It would be nice if would also keep his word. In February, 2025, I met with Rep.Murphy at his New Bern district office to discuss reintroducing legislation that Walter Jones had introduced in six Congresses, to require the FBI track and report criminal alien crimes.
You can read the most recent introduced version of "Jamiel's Law", named after a murder victim here: www.congress.gov Rep. Murphy said, and I quote, "It would be my honor to reintroduce the bill." In May, 2025, I, along with Jamiel Shaw, Sr, the victim's father, approved the final draft. That was 14 months ago. It never took Walter more than a month to get a bill introduced. Since then, emails go unanswered, visits to his New Bern district office requesting a phone call or update have gone unanswered. All the bill requires is for "nationality" and "legal status" be added to the Uniform Crime Reports already required for all federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Why Rep. Murphy has not kept his word, and is avoiding me defies logic. At this point, he has wasted 1.5 years, which could have been spent courting other sponsors. If the name Jamiel Shaw sounds familiar, Trump carried Mr. Shaw on his 2016 campaign trail, even giving him a speaking spot at the national convention. Murphy agreed now was the best time to give this bill a real chance of becoming law. The President knows the family personally. Crickets... Your word is your bond. It's the only thing that can't be taken from you. I gave the Jamiel Shaw Family my word that I would never stop trying to get this bill passed, which were it law already, could have saved Laken Riley, and hundreds of other families from having their child executed in the street by an MS-13 gang banger illegal alien, who had been released from L.A. County Jail on a gun charge, and assaulting an officer. When queried by a researcher trying to find real numbers on illegal alien crime, he eventually found it would be the FBI's responsibility. In 2007, they responded via email that the reason they don't is because, "Congress hasn't told us to." They were right. The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) doesn't require "nationality" or "legal status" on the monthly reports to the FBI on felony criminal arrests. "Jamiel's Law" would fix that, and would withhold federal funds to any law enforcement agency that refuses to work with DHS/ICE to establish "nationality" and "legal status." Congressman Murphy was in total agreement with me, gave his word, invoking his "honor." I believed him then. I don't now. If you know him, ask him why I've become persona non-grata, ask him why he hasn't kept his word. Ask him to give me a call. He has my number. I can forgive and forget. I believe in redemption. After this Congress ends, he will no longer by Congressman because of redistricting. If you'll be in the 3rd District, you might consider someone whose word means something. - Jeff Lewis, National Director, Patriot Coalition.

Over the past several years, as national director of Patriot Coalition, our general counsel Richard D. Fry and/or I have researched this issue in great detail, and debated a wide range of their "experts" across the country, many of which are available in our Article V channel (45 videos) at YouTube here:
www.youtube.com Besides the numerous debates, I highly recommend the second video, which is one I filmed of my friend Publius in Virginia last year. I also recommend the videos with Dr. Edwin Vieira discussing an Article V Convention and COS architect Michael Farris' dangerous Parental Rights Amendment, which totally pits parental rights against government indoctrination. Thomas Jefferson said the price of liberty is "eternal vigilance." Had it been simply defeated, the sponsors would simply reintroduce it again in the next general assembly. That despite the shady behavior of the leadership, giving the public no notice on an issue of such great importance, and then muzzling opposition at the drive-by, pencil-whip hearing they held, the Republican leadership continues to extort votes. If only they would uphold their oaths. We all know what happens when members don't tow-the-line by supporting what the leadership wants: their bills don't get hearings or votes in other areas. This is how the dishonorable game is played. Everyone knows it. EVERYONE. Now, if they will play these shenanigans just to get the Article V application resolution passed, what will they do to get the amendments passed over the course of 2-3 election cycles? Already, in neighboring states like Virginia, well-funded political PAC's are letting it be known that opponents such as Delegate Marshall and Senator Black, the two "statesmen" in Virginia blocking this insanity won't see any more donations to their campaigns, and in some cases, the establishment is funding primary opponents to run these statesmen out of the legislature in Richmond. In North Carolina, our own Republican Lt. Governor has been trying to fast-track this process for years. Publius is right. The enemy isn't just at the gate, he's running around loose in the N.C. General Assembly with mad-con-cow. That Republican leadership in North Carolina are driving this reckless attempt to trigger a convention and playing games with the rules and public instead of using its constitutional authority to interpose, tells me we need new leadership, and perhaps to replace most of the "scoundrels and scalawags" (N.C. Governor Zebulon Baird Vance's words) who refuse to take no for an answer. I'm certain that is what I will tell any of them that ask for my help or my money for their next campaign. The Constitution isn't the problem. COS admits that. Why is amending it the solution, then? It isn't. I don't trust them because they don't keep their oath now. I won't trust them to be honorable at a convention or in the ratification process. Jeff Lewis National Director, Legislative Affairs Patriot Coalition Jeff@patriotcoalition.com

Hmm... Listening to Mr. Warren's queries about the EDC's per job costs sounded like the "shovel-ready" boondoggle of the Obama Administration's "Stimulus Bills."
Perhaps Commissioner Klemm should have simply said what Obama said: "I guess they weren't as shovel-ready as I thought." The free market doesn't need a taxpayer-funded economic development commission. Only crony-capitalists profit and the taxpayers lose...every time. If you have to bribe businesses to move into your area, you might consider the real reasons they want tax-breaks and special deals. Are your K-12, trade and technical schools producing qualified educated workers? Is the infrastructure sufficient to allow reasonable ingress and egress of all the various stakeholders, (employees, clients, customers, etc...) Is the tax base appealing to prospective business investors? Provide a climate that is conducive to new or expanding business ventures and "they will come." Beaufort County is a beautiful place with wonderful people, a proud history that goes back hundreds of years, and sunsets that are only a postcard-dream to folks across the country. Without proper oversight by the commissioners, the Economic Development Commission may as well be the Warren Commission, looking for a magic bullet to explain the unexplainable.
