Thom Tilli$$ to the, um, RESCUE ???
*If my political fortunes were waning, the first thing I’d do is turn to 
a guy fresh off a 2023 censure by his own party.*
A guy who limits his public appearances in the Tar Heel State to avoid the embarrassment of being booed and / or cussed out by fellow Republicans. A guy who thinks everything is fine at our southern national border. A guy who thinks we can’t possibly give Ukraine too much of our money.
Yes, I’m talking about our senior US senator Thom Tillis. Tillis and his political “brain,” Paul Shumaker, have their fingerprints all over the 2024 GOP primaries in North Carolina. In the early 2000s, Shumaker worked with the late Richard Morgan to neuter, to de-conservative the NCGOP. Morgan is gone, but the mission is still apparently alive and well with Tillis.
In the governor’s race, they are with Bill Graham. In the congressional races, they are with John Bradford (8th district), Grey Mills (10th district), Chuck Edwards (11th district), and Tim Moore (14th district).
Interestingly, the Tillis-Shumaker cabal has decided to dive into the down-ballot battle for the GOP nod for superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction. Conservative Michele Morrow is giving total and compete what-for to left-of-center “Republican” incumbent Catherine Truitt. Truitt’s tenure at NC DPI has been highlighted by a stronger emphasis on DEI, race, and sexual orientation than on “silly” stuff like reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Even Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has publicly commented on how much public disdain is out there for Catherine Truitt. So, the political gods in Raleigh and Charlotte and DC apparently think the antidote 
to fix this problem is to call in someone arguably hated as much, if not worse, than Truitt.
Tillis appears to be teaming with his successor in Raleigh – and likely colleague in DC – Tim Moore and Phil Berger to raise funds for Truitt.
We’re also hearing reports that a political action committee affiliated with state Rep. Jason Saine – he of the fairy-tale, meteoric rise from unemployment to head of the legislature’s appropriations process — will be diving into the effort to save Truitt.
How did we reach a point where DC and Raleigh are picking WHO will be representing us? Our founders meant for us to confer and select one of our trusted neighbors to go off and actually act on our wishes. Unfortunately, we are now far too often saddled with people we hardly know, who are hardly qualified, to make major decisions for the future of our state and nation.
It’s pretty easy to confirm that the great majority of primary voters out there are not interested in the race-baiting, gender-bending claptrap and propaganda being aggressively pushed by Truitt and her comrades in Education, Inc. So, WHY are our alleged “representatives” in the alleged conservative party working so hard to protect and elevate people like Catherine Truitt?
A woman is known by the company she keeps, as well as the company she keeps away from. The fact that Catherine Truitt has decided to align her political fortunes with Tillis, Berger, and Moore should tell any self-respecting conservative to vote against her. The poisoning of children’s minds, hearts, and souls in North Carolina’s public schools on her watch is shameful, and must come to an end. Catherine Truitt needs to be shown the door in the primary, and replaced by Michele Morrow as Superintendent of DPI. This truly is one of the most important races on the ballot, both for our children and our state, and all conservatives should approach it with that gravity.
I have NOT agreed with 95% of Ms. Truitt’s choices. She has NOT been an advocate for our students and their families. The Tillis endorsement has put a nail in her campaign coffin.
#VoteMicheleMorrow
And Tillis one of the treasonous r’s that voted to move the $95B Ukraine bill forward…of course, anything for Ukraine and NOTHING for We The People..
IF I was considering a candidate and saw a Tillis endorse, that candidate would certainly NOT receive MY vote. We need to begin challenging Tillis NOW FOR DEFEAT next time. I don’t care WHO is running opposed, NOT voting Tillis.
Truitt is running across the state ‘handing out’ new school grants from lottery….
The worst thing that “Traitor Thom” Tillis has done recently is pushing the Lankford sellout on the border and loudly whining in the media against Trump for demanding Republicans hold the line against it. Tillis is a Biden “Republican”.
Tillis supported candidates like Truit and Bill Graham, need to be avoided like the plague, primary or general elections.
Bannon: Folks in Carolina you know what a beauty that guy (Tillis) is.
Michele Morrow is the right choice. When I was planning to run yet another bill in 2021 finally to get rid of Common Core in our State, Truitt told me I didn’t need to bother. It would probably not be heard, and she was going to get rid of Common Core when it was up for review, anyway. NOT! I wish I had not trusted her. I never will again. In a meeting with our House Freedom Caucus, she stated that she wanted to get rid of Critical Race Theory, and replace it with “something better,” called Social Emotional Learning. No thanks! Dern the difference! Michele Morrow is a genuine conservative who is committed to good education and the well-being of the children and families in our State, not to some leftist agenda. I deeply appreciated her being part of the crowd of about 500 people who showed up at the Legislature to support my bill, HB 558 in 2021 to prohibit vaccine mandates. Tim Moore managed to be out of town that day. Tillis would likely have tried to have them arrested if he had still been there. We need to stand up to these RINOs across the board, and voting for Michele Morrow is an important part of that.
