The GOP has relapsed into a potentially fatal business-as-usual complacency. The recommendations contained in its high profile but anodyne “autopsy” represent, at best, a band-aid for a Party hemorrhaging from a much more fundamental wound: being out of touch with the needs, values, and dignity of the American people. The GOP high command today resembles […]
North Carolina House Bill 397 that eliminates some of the onerous and illogical restrictions imposed on NC Concealed Carry permit holders should NOT be stripped of the ability for permit holders to store their legal guns in their cars while on campus…either at the behest of UNC officials like its President Tom Ross, or for any other reason. […]
Democrats who hope, and Republicans who dread, the appointment of Mel Watt as a sign the Administration has suddenly decided to aid the victims of foreclosure fraud are both kidding themselves. The criminality of the banks with wealth to steal, the apathy of the captured regulators with private sector careers to protect, the avarice of […]
It’s a sad week for investigative journalism in Greensboro and, no doubt, a joyous one for tax-and-spend government bureaucrats and politicians. After a 21-year run of churning out copy that held the heels of local GovCo to the fire, The Rhinoceros Times has announced it is shuttering the print version of Greensboro’s free alt-weekly paper.

First, we need to understand what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what could happen; and then take some guesses […]
Marijuana. Bankers’ money. Guns. WHO do these three things have in common? Well, I can think of one person: The President. Obama has admitted he smoked marijuana habitually (“regularly” is the word he uses) as a teen, he’s accepted millions in campaign donations from the financial services industry, and, while being protected 24/7 by men […]
The Obama Administration, via congressional testimony by the nation’s top cop, publicly made it clear this week to the US Senate, the American people, and our partners and allies around the world that they believe the Rule of Law no longer applies in the United States of America. In my uneducated and oft ill-informed opinion, […]
By: BooneCountyGirl Despite U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s protestations to the contrary, it would not be difficult to prosecute the large banks that brought down, and continue to suppress, our economy, and in fact a good “perp walk” is just what is needed to restore the economy.

Sen. Rand Paul is staying true to his word, or more appropriately words, thousands of them, as he launches into his ninth hour of a long haul he started around noon today to filibuster the nomination of John Brennan as director of the CIA. A live feed from C-Span is here, along with this from […]
