To our state’s shame, North Carolina ranks number eight in the nation for sex trafficking. Criminologists list many different reasons for this fact, including interstate highways bisecting the state, a large transient military population, a high rate of tourism and lax laws regarding prostitution, solicitation and pimping. As of October 1, thanks to the recent […]
Our good friend Chuck Suter at Constitutionalwar.org just posted an intriguing video of live phone calls he made to the offices of various Senators. This is a classic.
Last week, the Craven County Republican Party passed a resolution rebuking NC’s Republican Senator, Richard Burr, for his opposition to: the NC Republican Party, NC-GOP Chairman Claude Pope, the Republican National Committee, and NC’s Republican US House Reps (not to mention one NC Democrat House Rep.), in their attempts to defund Obamacare. The Craven County […]
This past Tuesday, the John Locke Foundation held a luncheon in Charlotte which focused on Obamacare. The headlining speaker was Sharon Kasica. Her presetation entitled “The Affordable Healthcare Act: The Cost of Compliance” uses the governments own publicly available numbers to show exactly what American citizens and industry are in for over the coming years, […]
Americans for Prosperity is asking Senator Kay Hagan (D) to clarify her position on past and potential carbon tax legislation in the US Senate. At the heart of the issue are two votes on the Senate Democrat budget proposal, in March of this year. First, Sen. Hagan voted against Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s (D-R.I.) amendment, which […]

We swear: ‘If the US and state budgeting process was audited by some reputable private accounting firm under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), everyone would be going to jail!’ (That is presuming that every accounting firm is honest and truthful, mind you. Some of the largest […]
Americans for Prosperity, the nation’s largest free-market grassroots organization, has released in North Carolina and multiple other states the third in a series of personal testimonials that raise important questions about the negative impact ObamaCare will have on healthcare choice. The new ad features Renay, the mom of a young girl, Caleigh, whose life has been saved by four […]
As North Carolina schools crank up for another year, the de facto teachers union (NCAE) and its media lackeys continue to bash Republicans with outright lies and disinformation. One big falsehood is that the GOP-controlled General Assembly increased classroom sizes. This is yet one more example of the length to which the Raleigh educrats (education […]
Last week, this column broke the fact that North Carolina ranks at the top (number 11) in state-level spending on education. Although the Tar Heel State ranks 45th on overall spending on education, it has nothing to do with any policy promulgated by the General Assembly. In high spending states, city and county governments make […]
