#ncga: Um, Speaker Timmy would like a DNA sample. (NOW !!!!!)

Posted on November 20, 2016November 20, 2016 by Brant Clifton

#ncpol: Dallas setting his sights on DC?

Posted on November 17, 2016 by Brant Clifton

He gave THIS TV interview.  He’s committed some of the most public charlie-foxtrots, as exemplified HERE and HERE and HERE.  His cronies worked hard to undermine Donald Trump before and

A tax on concrete? So sayeth (and doeth) the “conservative” party.

Posted on November 16, 2016 by Brant Clifton

#ncga: www.draintheswampnc.com ??? (Ruh-roh.)

Posted on November 16, 2016 by Brant Clifton

Duke University. Sex toy demonstrations. (Yee-ha.)

Posted on November 15, 2016November 15, 2016 by Brant Clifton
