By the time you read this our top elected local Socialist – I’m writing of course about Jennifer Roberts – will have graciously presented you with a 6.3% property tax increase. We now have a property tax rate of $.8166 per $100 of accessed property. A revenue neutral rate would have been $.7678 per $100. This […]

This message was sent to NC Speaker Thom Tillis and NC Senate President Berger, with copies to our state Rep Ruth Samuelson and State Senator, Bob Rucho. Anyone in Meck County or elsewhere needs to do the same. We need to inundate these characters with messages the state, in no uncertain terms, that we will […]

If there were any doubt that the Tea Party remains alive and active, attending the North Carolina Republican Convention last weekend would have put those doubts to rest. The heavily attended convention in Wilmington was filled with celebratory members of the GOP who for the first time in over a century could come to convention […]

Never one to fear a good counter protest, I’d like to encourage folks to attend Congressman Mick Mulvaney’s Town Hall meeting in Lake Wylie tonight. Mick is one of the “good guys”, as evidenced by the planned protest by Organizing for America.

President […]

The bleakness of national job creation can be witnessed on the current college graduation level, according to a recent New York Times story.

Richard Nixon’s “Southern Strategy”, which the democrats say is the reason black people had to support them during the 1960’s–is a lie.

The following letter was sent to House Speaker Thom Tillis by Representative Glen Bradley, whose NC Jobs Bill (HB 587) has been all but ignored by Commerce and Job Development Subcommittee on Business and Labor Chairman Darrell McCormick. McCormick, in fact, is even accused of becoming physically confrontational with Bradley over Bradley’s attempts to simply […]

The General Assembly’s recent flip-flop on funding of Charlotte’s light rail may be an indicator. Many conservatives were hopeful when news broke that the NC Senate budget did not include state funds necessary to get federal funds for Charlotte’s light rail extension (link).

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare, is the federal government’s latest foray into the medical field.
