There has been much consternation from the regional media/left complex over the Raleigh Republicans’ most recent Helene relief bill.

Tests for Senate Majority Leader John Thune
I received the following e-mail blast from the Senate Conservatives Fund. It lays out the matter perfectly: For now, conservatives are reserving judgment about newly elected Senate Republican Leader John Thune. Yes, he’s a career Establishment politician.

Trump Vs. The Administrative State
Changing of the Guard Getting Tillis Riled Up

Skip Alston has been assigned to Josh Stein’s transition team. We can safely presume that many others similar to Alston […]
Beating The Drum For Government Building A Pro Hockey Rink In Greensboro
I could scarcely believe it. The Rhino Times had an article yesterday about the fact that professional hockey is coming back to Greensboro. That is a good thing. I remember going to the games during the 1990’s at the Greensboro Coliseum when we had a “minor league” hockey franchise. What […]
