#ncga: Why do Berger & co. keep ham-stringing efforts to get non-citizens off NC voter rolls?
We get a lot of lip service from Raleigh Republicans about supporting border security, election integrity, and President Trump. So, why has the GOP-controlled Senate blocked THREE TIMES a serious effort to clean illegals off our state’s voter rolls? Perhaps it’s thanks to some Farm Bureau PAC money scooped…
NCGOP’s Short Memory Caucus
Mark Martin, the Republican chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, recently announced he was bailing out of that particular sinking ship to take a lucrative opportunity at a Virginia law school. That left Democrat governor Roy Cooper with the opportunity to name a replacement for the Republican…
#ncga: Tim Moore, innocent victim.
In the Speaker Joe Hackney era, you use campaign funds to buy yourself some new suits and you get bounced out of the House. Do it in the Tim Moore era, and you get promoted up the food chain in the House. I disagreed with Joe Hackney’s agenda. But…
NCGA’s Murphy: Cooper “hijacking” my bill, “misleading” the public

#ncga: ‘Pay As You Go’ or ANOTHER BOND ISSUE? Jones St. GOPers divided on paying for school construction

Dark Money PAC coming after Dale Folwell
This is the sad part about politics. You get into government, make an honest attempt at doing some good to benefit the taxpayers, and a bunch of anonymous leeches on the government teat compile a bunch of special interest money to finance turning you into a grease spot on…
#ncpol: Chief Justice Martin (R) to resign, solidifying leftist control of state courts for years to come
It’s news like this that makes those electoral losses by Pat McCrory, Robert Edmunds and Barbara Jackson especially painful: North Carolina Chief Justice Mark Martin said Friday he’s leaving the state’s Supreme Court after 20 years to become a Virginia law school dean. The resignation means Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper…
FoT (Friend-of-Timmy) @ center of chicken plant complaint got PAID for months after he QUIIT.
It’s good to be a Friend of Timmy. You can lose your election and still end up having the taxpayers pay you a salary bigger than the governor or lieutenant governor (who had to WIN elections to get their payday). Former legislator and Speaker Timmy acolyte Mitch Gillespie is at…
NC-09: At SBoE, Malcolm OUT and, um. Woodhouse IN?
It looks like the guy who started this whole fracas that threw the Ninth Congressional District race into limbo won’t be around to make any more trouble. Josh Malcolm of Robeson County does not appear to have been reappointed by Governor Cooper. Malcolm was besieged by all kinds of controversy,…
