A liberal activist group had filed a complaint against State House speaker Tim Moore over some private business dealings in Chatham County. Apparently, the belief was that a Moore aide had meddled in a state environmental review of a property Moore and his business partners…
#ncga: (*CHOKE!*) Folding like one of Jason Saine’s suits.
I guess it was too much to expect the NCGOPe to stand strong for an embattled conservative member of their party. (Or even to fight for clean elections. Or defend one of their former House colleagues who lost reelection under shady circumstances.) We told you…
#ncpol: The b**ch is BACK !!! (Or IS she ???)
The Democrats have a gaggle of potential candidates seeking the nomination for lieutenant governor in 2020. With Dan Forest’s expected run for governor, the seat will be open. We told you about two Republicans already “exploring” a campaign for lieutenant governor. Now comes a possible…
Robeson judge smacks down restraints on anti-corruption crusader. (Pols seeking other censorship options.)
Robeson County ranks near the bottom on every list of “good” things. Unfortunately, they’re near the top of lists of the bad. Some of those bad things include violent crime, election stealing, and political corruption. Gerome Chavis and his ‘We The People’ group of grassroots…
#ncpol: A contact sport, indeed.
It appears that we’re starting to see some signs of fight in the NCGOPe. They’ve gone from rolling over and showing their bellies in the whole NC-09 affair, to showing their teeth and defending Mark Harris. Now, it appears the folks closer to the right…
N&O + lefty comrades say Speaker Timmy played ‘chicken’ with ethics

TWO NCGOPers “exploring” a run for LtGov
With Dan Forest clearly looking to move up in the political world in 2020, there is going to be at least one sure-fire job opening in Raleigh. A slew of Democrats have already started putting out feelers. But at least TWO Republicans — both with…
Republicans ramp up their flirtation with identity politics
Republicans talk a good game about judging people on their qualifications / content of character. But more and more Republicans — including our very own (former) congresswoman Renee Ellmers — have been beating the drums about electing more Republicans with TWO X-chromosomes. It’s demeaning…
NC-09: Josh Malcolm got some ‘splainin’ to do
Some Republican legislators want former state elections board chairman to offer up more details on his discussions with a top Bladen County Democrat prior to the November vote: Two Republican members of the North Carolina Senate are seeking answers to questions regarding communication between the…
MeckGOP learned nothing / nade / nichts from 2018 wipeout
When the smoke finally cleared from the November 2018 vote, state senator Dan Bishop — a solid conservative, FWIW — was the last significant elected Republican in Mecklenburg County left standing. The MeckGOP lost all three county commissioners it had prior to election day. It…
