Does ANYBODY give a hoot about Allison Riggs’s $250K+ in taxpayer-provided COVID $$$ ?

Posted on May 19, 2025May 19, 2025 by Brant Clifton

Not yet, apparently.  The Raleigh drive-by media and the state capital’s uni-party are still fawning all over Madame Riggs (D).  They want us to believe she was an innocent victim

Posted on May 18, 2025May 18, 2025 by Brant Clifton

John Torbett and a few other legislators are making some noise about recreating Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts right here in good ol’ North Carolina.  If he and his crew are

Ed Martin Thells on Thom

Posted on May 18, 2025 by Brant Clifton

One of Timmy’s *special judges* tosses out suit against Team Berger. (Uncle Phil is pleased.)

Posted on May 17, 2025 by Brant Clifton

It’s *good* to own state government.  We have these special animals in North Carolina politics.  They’re called “special superior court judges”.   From what I can tell, they’re meant to

WAIVERS: DEI, gone ? No, Brenden. It isn’t gone (and likely isn’t going anywhere)

Posted on May 14, 2025May 14, 2025 by Brant Clifton

The state House majority leader just got done telling us DEI is GONE, GONE, GONE from all state-funded stuff in North Carolina.  Now, we’re hearing about these mystical, magical things

WI senator: Despite DOGE talk + GOP majorities, DC still has us headed over the cliff

Posted on May 13, 2025May 13, 2025 by Brant Clifton

In the late 90s we had TWO senators — Faircloth and Helms — who talked honestly like this.  Now, we have to rely on senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) to tell

Ground Control to Major Thom …

Posted on May 13, 2025 by Brant Clifton

Are elected folks as committed to smaller, cheaper government as we are?

Posted on May 12, 2025 by Brant Clifton

The evidence out there suggests a big, fat NO. In Raleigh, legislative Republicans are rolling out a North Carolina version of Elon Musk‘s DOGE effort to root out and eliminate

DEI “officially done in North Carolina”? (Better look again.)

Posted on May 10, 2025 by Brant Clifton

DEI is D-O-N-E, folks.  That’s what state Rep. Brenden Jones tells us. Somebody better check in with the diminutive president of Sandhills Community College, Dr. Sandy Stewart, about that. He

The Thom song

Posted on May 9, 2025May 9, 2025 by Brant Clifton

(Not to be confused with Sisqo’s Thong Song.) We told you about country music’s John Rich offering to perform for a Tillis primary opponent’s rally. Rich has apparently been fooling
