Karl Popper’s Early Contribution To Our Current Mess
Passing Of Former Governor Jim Hunt
He was a considerable figure in the state of North Carolina. He served four terms as governor. In my opinion, his biggest “contribution” was Smart Start.

DC Republicans Push Lumbee Recognition
The Lumbee Indians from southeastern North Carolina around Robeson County have been pushing for years to get recognition from the federal government. It turns out that Republicans in Congress are helping them to make this happen. It has already passed in the US House. This will open the door to […]
