Last week, the Daily Haymaker reported about one of Josh Stein’s campaign positions. He wants to enact an earned income tax credit in North Carolina. That might sound like wonky stuff down in the weeds, but here are the implications. People who don’t pay any income tax in North Carolina […]

A Retirement At Age 85
During my late childhood/ early teen years, I used to listen to sports talk radio in the New York area. This would have been during the early 1970’s. One particular show in the evening, on WMCA AM 570, was hosted by John Sterling. I eagerly looked forward to his program […]
Finally! The UNC BOG Takes Action Against DEI
The plague of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the UNC system is finally being addressed.

A Dose Of Political Reality
I am not a big fan of Jesse Kelly. This is an insightful interview, nonetheless, that covers important topics: e.g., the importance of the individual states asserting themselves and taking power from the federal government; the failure of Red State/ southern Republicans (Thom Tillis is mentioned briefly); and the rapid, […]

But now, we are seeing crowds chanting “Death to America” right here in the United States, usually in the context of Palestinian protests. […]
“Bless Those Who Bless You, and Curse Him Who Curses You”
Speaker Mike Johnson plans to force a vote on aid to Israel even though that small country has much less debt than we do. Consider how Pastor Chuck Baldwin interprets the alleged scriptural command to bless the modern nation of Israel. NKJV: Promises to Abram 12 Now the Lord had said to Abram: […]
NC Republicans Who Voted To EXPAND Government’s Surveillance Of Americans
The culprits are Virginia Foxx, Pat McHenry, David Rouzer, Greg Murphy and Chuck Edwards (i.e. Madison Cawthorn’s replacement). I had seen reported at a couple of sites, at least, that the legislation requires more businesses to turn over electronic information on their customers to the federal government.
