#ncpol: Pledging allegiance to Roy Cooper
Bladen County got raked over the coals by the stupid driveby media in the wake of the 2018 elections. It’s doubtful that the latest shenanigans in that county by Roy Cooper appointees will earn the same treatment: The Bladen County Board of…
Does Dale Folwell owe you money?
(Or, more likely, someone else?) The treasurer’s office maintains a “found money” database of funds that are trying to be reunited with their actual owners. Of course, you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it IS actually owed to YOU. …
‘Interference’ v. ‘Oversight’: The superintendent-school board dynamic
The N&O has a story about the Johnston County schools superintendent resigning over “interference” from the school board. *Though, if you read deeper into the article, it looks like they have one hot mess on their hands up there in Johnston County.) …
And NOW for the congressional districts
NC Free Enterprise Foundation’s partisan index study also took a look at the state’s congressional districts for 2020. For all the whining lefties did about “gerrymandering,” they sure did come out smelling like roses. According to NCFEF, the Dems have MORE clearly safe…
Jones Street. The partisan index. And 2020.
The North Carolina Free Enterprise Foundation, a GOP-leaning establishment pro-business group, regularly analyzes our General Assembly districts and computes things called partisan indexes. These are sort of like the spreads that bookies put on sporting events. The history of each party’s performance in each…
#ncga: 2019 legislator ratings. (Yay!)
Art Pope, Inc. has released its 2019 conservatism ratings of our state legislators. Seventeen votes were hand-picked for the House study. (There were 15 in the Senate.) Of course, voting “correctly” on all 17 (or 15) gets you a score of 100 — perfect…
Showing ID at the polls STILL “racist”
Apparently, the OK sign is racist. (But the Democrat governor of Virginia wearing blackface is NOT.) In the 1950s and 60s, liberals got all bent out of shape because people were justifiably labeling them as Marxists and communists and so forth. It was…
The coming Republican crack-up?
Three (R)s became (U)s out in Transylvania County, thereby costing the GOP a majority on the county’s board of commissioners: Transylvania County Commissioners David Guice, Mike Hawkins and Page Lemel have left the Republican Party. In an announcement, (see statement below) the…
Crocodile tears over judges
It’s interesting to see and hear all of these Republican bigwigs bemoan “legislating from the bench”: Thom Tillis and Richard Burr have voted for MANY of these judges who have overturned votes of North Carolinians and their state legislators. The state…
#ncga: Yoga Pants, adult beverages, and DAVID LEWIS.
Oh, the things politicians will attach their names to: Depending on who is wearing them, Yoga pants can be the most wonderful things. Yet, David Lewis is (1) very married, (2) representing a county that is a Southern Baptist powerhouse,…
