**Written by Lt. Governor Dan Forest regarding pending legislation allowing for illegal aliens to receive NC issued drivers licenses: Our nation was founded on the principal of “rule of law” meaning that people are responsible for their actions and the consequences that follow. In a civil society, it is necessary to not reward illegal behavior […]
Both Nationally and right here in North Carolina, it seems the only thing separating the Rs from the Ds is gay rights and abortion. They both want to use tax policy to control the population, they both want to screw the little guy in favor of the Banks and other large corporations, they both wantonly […]

Last Tuesday’s budget meeting and straw vote has created a flurry of posts, attacks, and counter punches among Commissioners and Editorial writers. Most recently, Democrat Commissioner Trevor Fuller has sent a letter critical of the supposed absence of GOP ideas. Responding to the letter is Republican Commissioner Matthew Ridenhour.

Watching former Vice-President Dick Cheney this morning on the Fox News program with Chris Wallace, and having (unavoidably, sorry to say!) heard Senator John McClain earlier this past week urge stepped up involvement on behalf of the rebels in the Syrian civil war, the reasons why I never cared for these two politicos came rushing […]
The good folks over at PunditHouse.com posted audio last week covering the debate on HOT Lanes from the previous Sunday’s NCGOP Executive Committee meeting. It’s about 30 minutes long but well worth a listen. At stake was an official resolution by the State Republican Party against HOT Lanes providing more emphasis to the anti-HOT plank already added to the […]
The old adage advises that there’s no such thing as a free lunch (or breakfast, in this case), but don’t try telling that to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education. Not content with the district’s free- and reduced-price meal program, the school board this month approved a new Universal Breakfast initiative that next school year will […]
The wheels have come off the bus. Those who did not see last Tuesday’s Mecklenburg County Commission budget straw vote may be led to believe that the board methodically and pragmatically went through the budget line by line, ensuring that taxpayer dollars were well-spent. If so, they would be misled. Let me be clear: Tuesday […]
This week the NC Senate, led by President Pro Tem Phil Berger, took a bold move towards cleaning up state government. Senators voted overwhelmingly to get rid of the corporate income tax, one of the nastiest parts of the state tax code. The supporters of the status quo (which is not working, as our economy […]
Yes, as several good folks have reminded me, it’s been a while since my last post; apologies for that, but I’ve been time crunched with another big project (book deal – hooray!) that’s kept me wicked busy and frequently on the road. Thanks and big ups go to PH co-conspirator Christian Hine and our stellar […]
