If you’re like many North Carolinians, you’ve had to make more hard choices recently, like between paying your bills and buying your medicine. You might have even skipped meals to fill up your gas tank. We got here because big-government politicians put the yoke of regulations on your shoulders and spent money we don’t have...
Stepping up to the checkout counter might hurt more this holiday season. For a state where the economy is churning with low taxes and steady growth, North Carolinians have struggled under the weight of inflation in 2023. Headlines are brimming with news of economic growth in North Carolina, although it remains below the national level...
In his inimitable style, the great English essayist, Samuel Johnson, boomed (he rarely spoke) that what is known isn’t always obvious and what is obvious isn’t always present. Before I am charged with stating the obvious, let me remind readers that Alfred North Whitehead said it takes extraordinary intelligence to contemplate the obvious. So, let’s...
Remember when President Joe Biden and the Democratic Congress took resolute action to combat rising prices? I apologize for asking so much of you. It can be mentally taxing to recall the details of events long past. And according to my calendar, the event I’m asking you to recall occurred way back on August 16...
White House Spox Karine Jean-Pierre Refuses To Say If Biden Is Weaponizing DOJ, FBI Against Political Opponents Certainly, not the reassurance many of us were hoping for right now. A simple “no” seems like a more ideal answer. After 35 years missing, an Air Force captain mysteriously reappeared in the Bay Area I vaguely remember...
Nothing turns out voters like climbing inflation and $5 a gallon gas. This year a 20% primary turnout represents the highest rate in the last 30 years of N.C. primary elections. The only higher turnout was 2002, the year after 9/11. In a new twist, unaffiliated voters are now N.C.’s single largest voting population and,...
A myriad of associations come to mind when thinking about President Biden’s FY2023 budget, but the one that comes to mind instantaneously is “dumpster fire.” Like the budget he submitted to Congress just last year, one fact remains constant: President Biden does not have the slightest clue what fiscal responsibility entails. Families across North Carolina...
President Joe Biden is set to come to Greensboro this week and will give a speech at North Carolina A&T. The administration promises that he will explain how he’s going to “bring down costs for the American people as part of Building a Better America.” I can’t wait to hear the explanation. Graduates from NC...
For the past two months—and much longer if I think back when our exchanges began—I have been at loggerheads with a close correspondent about the Trump years and what I refer to as President Biden’s Much Ado about Nothing moment in which “four of his five wits went halting off” (but that may be overgenerous). We...
Call a spade a spade. The inflation slew caused by both President Biden’s failed policies and Washington bureaucrats is no longer a crisis – it has rapidly evolved into an outright catastrophe. Republicans have been expedient in not only identifying the real causes of skyrocketing inflation, but also showing how inflation has impacted the lives...
Our ability to self-govern is the enduring question we continually grapple with yet struggle to answer decisively.
