The 2013-2014 session of the North Carolina General Assembly began on January 9th in Raleigh. For the first time in history, Republicans hold super-majorities in both the House and Senate at the same time a Republican holds the Governorship. The GOP majority on the Supreme Court, though technically non-partisan, completes the Republican dominance in the three branches […]
Hey Media Folks, you can all go cover other stories rather than Gov. Pat McCrory. WRAL has announced it will track every promise made by newly-sworn-in McCrory on its website. Which is sort of odd because I thought the media was already supposed to keep track of promises made, kept, and broken by elected leaders. This […]
City Council is being asked by the Carolina Panthers football team to provide them a subsidy so the firm will continue operations in Charlotte.
The Carolina Panthers do business as part of the National Football League. The NFL has been exempted from anti-trust laws by the US Congress. It is a cartel, and operates under the exact same economic principles as OPEC.
Common Americans United to Inspire OUR Nation (CAUTION) announced today that the organization is actively encouraging its members and fellow citizens to proactively contact local and state elected officials to voice opposition to reports that public subsidies may be made available to the Carolina Panthers NFL Football franchise. CAUTION President Dennis Peterson voiced his position […]
Do you want the Obama Administration to dictate your healthcare choices? If not, you need to act now. Because North Carolina is almost out of time to convince Governor-elect Pat McCrory to refuse to implement an ObamaCare Exchange. Remember when ObamaCare passed and then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said they had to pass it […]
South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint (R) announced today he is quitting the Senate. Midterm. In a couple of weeks. He is going to be the new President of the conservative Heritage Foundation. Governor Nikki Haley will appoint a successor who will serve until a special election can be held in 2014. The timing of this, […]
The road to setting up an Obamacare health exchange in North Carolina could be headed for a new twist this weekend, when a resolution is likely to be offered at Saturday’s NCGOP State Executive Committee meeting calling for Pat McCrory, Thom Tillis and Phil Berger to return the $73.5 million in federal money accepted by […]
From the Department of How Convenient, we learn that state Supreme Court Justice Patricia Timmons-Goodson, a liberal who was originally backed by former governor and Democrat corruption king crony Mike Easley, is retiring from the bench before Gov. Bev Perdue slithers out of office in January. Under an executive order that Perdue decreed last year, […]
The week before last, lame-duck Governor Bev Perdue found a way to throw North Carolinians under the bus one last time before leaving office. As the deadline closed in for states to decide whether to help implement ObamaCare Exchanges or tell the Feds to take a hike, she buckled to pressure from the Left and […]
I would’ve bet dollars to doughnuts that Democrat Linda Coleman was willing to take the long slog down recount row in her efforts to steal the state’s lieutenant governor’s race from Republican Dan Forest. Turns out winning once will be enough for Forest. Trailing by nearly 7,000 votes and facing the prospect of sticking taxpayers with […]
