Rep. Neal Jackson saves the day, stops Speaker Timmy’s watering-down of toddler tranny transition ban
I swear. If cloning state legislators becomes legal, I suggest we try it first on the gentleman from Moore County. Do it again and again 119 times.
The alleged conservative supermajority in the state House attempted to water down HB 808, which would have stripped state money from any medical entities attempting to perpetrate sex change services on minor children as young as two years old. The highly-popular bill was watered-down to basically only outlaw “surgical” procedures at state-funded medical entities. This would have done little to stop the problem initially IDed by our friends at Education First Alliance. The state-funded providers are providing pills and other preliminary brain-washing to get the kiddies ready for the surgery. The watered-down bill would not have stopped any of the outrageous stuff currently going on.
Who was responsible for this sneak attack? The pink, um, “lady” (?) from Raleigh? Sadly, no. Everybody we know in-the-know on Jones Street pointed their fingers at the office and staff of our very special-needs Speaker Timmy. (We reported earlier that a long-time major player in the state’s gay political lobby is Tim Moore’s deputy chief of staff.)
Why would Speaker Timmy gut legislation that is wildly popular with his party’s base and a clear majority of North Carolinians? Clearly, there is a lot of cash moving around behind the scenes in association with this “gender-affirming” nonsense.
The NC Hospital Association has proven time and again it has major pull within the General Assembly’s majority. The big three providers involved in this “gender-affirming” crap all have some inside “political juice.”
Rep. Tim Reeder (R-Greenville), closely tied to Speaker Timmy, is a physician on staff at East Carolina. Former Rep. and close Timmy ally Nelson Dollar (R-Cary) is – for some reason – on staff at the UNC School of Psychiatry, which is in the middle of all this “gender-affirming.” Clayton Somers, Timmy’s BFF and former chief of staff, is a big-time shot-caller within the UNC bureaucracy.
But thank goodness for Neal Jackson. He made some simple changes to the Timmy-tampered HB 808 and got it back on track to being passed the way it was supposed to be.
This whole issue should have been a no-brainer. Unfortunately, we have a lot of “representatives” in Raleigh paying more attention to “leadership” and the influence-peddlers bearing cash than the people WHO THEY ARE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT.
Good people like Neal Jackson get leaned-on and harassed for trying to stop the madness. The people who really need to be run out of town — or at least out of government service — are people who care more about keeping the cash spigot open and pleasing their special-needs Speaker.
Many of you folks in the House are being poorly “led.” Stick with your personal beliefs and what your people back home are telling you. If Timmy wants to try and intimidate you, simply (and figuratively) drop-kick the tubby little dirtbag back into his office. We’ve got your back.
On to the Senate …
He is one of the best!
As I read the amendment and the overall bill as posted on the General Assembly website, this amendment improved the bill but still leaves much to be desired. The part of the bill that prohibits use of these procedures still only prohibits the surgical procedures, and allows the drug procedures. The part where the amendment closed a loophole was on use of state funds for these procedures, where it now prohibits use of state funds for either surgical or drug procedures. Here is the bill as finally passed:

I applaud Rep. Neal for what he did do, as it improved the bill, but I wish he had gone farther.
I stand in SALUTE to Rep. Neal Jackson and those that voted with their common sense, moral clarity, and instinct to FIGHT for what is RIGHT.
a remnant son
Thank you NeL Jackson!
WHAT has happended to NC????
How/when did we become so woke/left/liberal?
Other than Coop, we have solid (for the most part) conservative state leaders. Not Sec of State and AG; but Supr Ct, Insur Commish, Folwell, Toxler, Lt Gov., Labor, (NOT Educ Suiper that is a complete sell-out).
SOMETHING has turned the guage or reset our moral compass.
Money! MANY loose their moral compass and Christian values and sell out for money. Thankful for Rep. Neal Jackson! .
I don’t think Moore or Berger ever had Christian values.
I can count on one hand the number of politicians who, once elected or appointed to a board, remain true to their values. (Okay, since I included “appointed to boards”, two hands).
Neal Jackson is one of thos people, and I have developed an immense amount of respect for him.
He is deserving of our support and praise
