The Rhino Times reports that the Guilford Tax Department is now projecting that property values in the county will be (average) 48% higher than the last time properties were revalued. That means property taxes will rise around 50 percent– plus or minus– for homeowners unless the county commissioners (and the […]

Comparing Murder Rates in Washington, D.C. and Greensboro
I used Neighborhoodscout.com to get the murder rates for Washington, DC and Greensboro. The site provides 2023 data. The rate in Greensboro was 0.25 per 1,000 population. In Washington, D.C., it was 0.39 per 1,000 population. We can take some comfort in the fact that our rate is 36% lower […]
Marxism In The Church
The Dissenter (formerly Reformation Charlotte) has an excellent summary that describes the infiltration of Marxism in the evangelical church over the last half-century. Some of this information may be familiar, but parts will not be. I am taking the liberty of excerpting heavily: Evangelicals… signed the Chicago Declaration of Evangelical […]
The Passing Of Jim Melvin
Retrospectives on the contributions of Jim Melvin have been published elsewhere by Scott Yost and Allen Johnson. The Triad Business Journal and the News and Record also report. He was probably the closest thing we have had in Greensboro to an oligarch. I expect his time as mayor in Greensboro […]
The Billionaires Behind The Lawfare
Alex Marlowe identifies Reid Hoffman, George Soros and the Sandler Foundation as the chief funders of the organizations conducting lawfare against Trump, his policies and his supporters. It turns out these are often the same forces who have been sowing disorder on the streets through proxy organizations. Marlowe also lists […]
Southern Monument Restoration
This past week brought the first bit of good news on the matter of Southern monuments in a long time. The magnificent Reconciliation Monument at Arlington National Cemetery was ordered to be put back in place by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: It had been removed by Biden a couple of […]
Charlotte, NC Bishop Wants Private Schools To Be Able To Renege On Parents
Parents who send their kids to private schools and Christian schools make an extra investment of time and effort. There can be considerable cost. But there are often also additional logistical issues getting kids to and from school because taxpayer-provided school buses are not part of the deal. Moreover, parents […]
Why American Elites Hate Russia
The Last Refuge has a good explanation: No. Several facets involved (IMHO): 1. Russia does not align with current global banking control. This is the background motive behind the current western sanctions' regime. Russia does not consider the global finance system to be legitimate. The global banks dislike Russia.… https://t.co/PVTZrMhrPh […]
Congressman Brad Knott: More Illegals in NC Than Arizona
Knott is a first term Congressman from North Carolina; and by all appearances seems to be a conservative. He made his statement in an interview with Breitbart. If this is true, it would be fairly astonishing given the fact that Arizona is a border state. Somehow, I suspect he might […]
Constitutional Questions Raised Regarding Greensboro’s Red Light Camera Program
Readers will recall that the city of Greensboro is poised to reinstate its notorious red light camera program. The New American has an article that calls into question whether such programs are constitutional. Here are some relevant excerpts: Outsourcing enforcement to private, for-profit companies undermines due process and removes accountability from […]
