Contrary to what North Carolina progressives seem to think, the truth is that the Republican-controlled General Assembly now has a governing supermajority. This dynamic threatens Gov. Roy Cooper’s ability to continue building upon his record of having the most vetoes of any state governor. Tuesday’s electoral results also put state public policy outcomes in North...
Overall, Republicans excelled in Florida and did quite well in North Carolina. The state will soon be free from hyped-up judicial activism that paralyzes the people’s will and plagues our separation-of-powers principles. I wrote a column in August saying that Republicans in the state would outperform the GOP nationally. That assessment turned out to be accurate, but,...
Control of the U.S. Congress is the grand prize in the upcoming midterm elections on Nov. 8. There seems to be little doubt that Republicans will take the U.S. House. The Senate is much more competitive, with Nate Silver at Politico recently calling control for the body a coin flip. Yet, it’s increasingly likely Republicans...
“Real Time” with Bill Maher has become one of the last, if not last, American television talk show to air political commentary from a left-wing perspective that is not under the guise of political correctness. While the host, American comedian Bill Maher, views political events through a progressive lens, he does not hold back from...
AOC predicts she won’t be president — because Americans ‘hate women’ Being a victim must be exhausting but it makes for some funny statements. For the record, I’m a big fan of women. Research assistant for California Teachers Association was paid to ‘dig for dirt’ on parents’ groups who opposed COVID shutdowns across the state,...
This year marks the 25th anniversary of “Life is Beautiful,” an endearing movie that “offers the possibility of hope in the face of unflinching horror” – in this case, the Holocaust. It won three Oscars, including Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actor. The internet movie site IMDB includes the Italian film in the comedy, romance,...
Democrats on the state Supreme Court told more than three million voters to drop dead by canceling their votes for two constitutional amendments placed on the ballot in 2018. Democrats continued their wrecking ball on the separation of powers by declaring that the people of North Carolina can’t choose to amend their constitution by a...
The GOP is anticipating considerable gains in November’s midterms, but there are plenty of cracks in their façade. Poor candidates, sub-par messaging, and the Donald Trump effect are just some of the political baggage handicapping Republicans across the country. While North Carolina Republicans are far from immune from these problems, there are several signals they...
North Carolina media is one of Cooper’s biggest cheerleaders, yet it’s unlikely the national media will have the same level of adoration for Cooper.
What about Washington D.C., particularly the ruling Democrat Party, makes them think that the American people are thirsting for bigger government, more spending, and higher taxes? Why do they think the American people are stupid enough to fall for their economic nonsense? The professional D.C. class has been flipping cartwheels since U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, D-WV, agreed...
Long ago it became apparent to me that Gov. Roy Cooper either does not care about his place in history or thinks his actions during the pandemic are enough for historians to write something of substance about his eight years as governor. Because other than managing the virus with debatable results, there is almost nothing...
