Gen Z vs. Boomers
By the way, Gen Z is roughly 15-30 years old: HT: Appalachian Renegades Revolutions always start with the young, and I can feel a huge clash coming between the Boomers and Gen Z. Because of the failed policies of the Boomer class, we’re leaving behind something that would have been […]
Local Liberal Baptist Church Facilitates Tax Increases
An article in the News and Record reports about a “town hall” that was held in the sanctuary of Greensboro’s First Baptist Church.

Greensboro Placed On Short Leash By State Of NC
