Gene Nichol. Still full of it. Still on OUR DIME. (In a van. Down by the river.)
This Nichol guy on the faculty at UNC-Chapel Hill is a piece of work. We’re forced to subsidize his bloated parasitic carcass year in and year out while he does little more than call us names and give us the…
#ncga: White NC Dem thinks he’s black. In post-HB2 NC, why not?
What is it about white Democrat politicians running away from what they are? We heard about one white Democrat legislator ashamed of being white. It sounds like we’ve got another one on our hands: Asked about promoting diversity in North…
Dallas, his “warm body” get reprieve from state elections board (on a technicality)
It’s amazing. It’s one of those head-scratching moments like when charges get dismissed against a murderer because a box got left unchecked on the search warrant application: The Bipartisan State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement approved appeals by two…

#ncpol: Another of Dallas’s warm bodies?
We all remember Dallas Woodhouse running around trying to get anybody with a pulse to file as a Republican candidate for the General Assembly. One of those warm bodies has been disqualified for, apparently, registering to vote as an afterthought.…
Have solar goons shanghaied Lt. Dan?
I’m seeing some things on Twitter that are making me a wee bit uncomfortable. Here’s one: And HERE is another: Kairos Governmental Affairs and Betsy McCorkle are leading mouthpieces for renewable energy government mandates and government subsidies of solar and…
GOPe good ol’ boys batter conservative women (Mrs. Nix has NO COMMENT.)
Liberals like to poke at the GOP (and conservatives) as being “anti-woman.” I’m observing some pretty disturbing trends here in 2018 that don’t exactly help refute that charge, I know of at least three outstanding conservative women on the GOP…
