Campaign 2017: Golf gloves are coming OFF in Pinehurst
Things are generally very cordial here in our little corner of paradise. Rolling green fairways. Mild weather. Little to no crime. Neighbors that offer a friendly ‘how-do’ when you pass by. Local elections here are normally quiet affairs. Folks are polite. After all, they WILL…
Moore media’s hard sell of “Moral Monday”
We’ve got a unique situation here in Moore County. We are one of the most reliably Republican counties in the state. Yet, our only local paper is owned and operated by the same Democrat operatives who owned and operated The Raleigh News & Observer for…
Southern Pines paper’s op-ed editor upset about presence of so many military in the area
Steve Bouser, editor of our world-class, multiple Nobel Prize and Lambda Award-winning thrice twice-weekly local newspaper here in Moore County recently had a meltdown, which he documented in the pages of his money-bleeding publication: In what passes for “rush hour” in…
Tillman Time: WEEB radio shows The Pilot how this news reportin’ stuff is DONE
We’ve got an interesting dilemma here in Moore County. Our local paper is owned and operated by veteran Democrat Party fundraisers and strategists. This ownership group perfected its, ahem, craft for decades at The Raleigh News & Observer. After selling out for an extremely…
BluePrintNC, The Mad Blinker & The Pilot team up to smear Senator Tillman
I am sure many of you have been keeping up with the whole BlueprintNC scandal — a bunch of lefty non-profits scheming about “eviscerating” North Carolina Republican leaders. It now appears that this nastiness has made its way to Southern Pines and Moore County. The…
Ugly Power Grabs vs. PRETTY ONES

Lefty media moaning about constitutional “clutter”
The editorial page of our multiple Hershel Walker Peace & Justice Award-winning local newspaper is apparently NOT a big fan of amendments to the North Carolina Constitution: The Republicans in control of the N.C. General Assembly are trying…
Renee Ellmers’s Moore County problem
The Second Congressional District’s incumbent representative seems to be doing her best to ruin the gift horse delivered to her during redistricting. The “honorables” on Jones Street handed Renee Ellmers a highly-conservative district on a silver platter at the end of the redistricting process. It…
EVEN MORE STUFF Timmy and John Lentz won’t tell you …
If you count on The Pilot as your main source of news in Moore County, I truly feel sorry for you. For the most part, the newsroom’s modus operandi has sunk to taking dictation from politicos with agendas. You’re often getting a twisted version of…
Guzzling Timmy’s kool-aid in The Pilot’s newsroom
Very few people outside of The Pilot’s newsroom take county commissioner Tim Lea seriously. That became crystal clear in the 2008 GOP primaries, when Lea barely eked out a victory against an unknown underfunded challenger. (He was saved by the absentee ballots.) …
