About that “Government Shutdown”

On Saturday, December 22nd the House passed continuing resolution to fund the US Government awaiting a full floor vote in the Senate. POTUS Trump campaigned on building a border wall but political push back over the requested $5.6 billion in funding has led to a partial “Shut Down” of the federal government, mostly for “non-essential government employees” in nine (9) federal departments.

Anyone can have an opinion, but it helps to know the facts. Government shutdowns are not new. Here’s a short history:

“If the shutdown involves non-essential employees, how is this shutdown hurting the American people”, you ask? That depends on who you talk to. These are the departmental agencies involved:

From the same link https://www.thebalance.com this is the actual effect on workers:

Homeland Security – 13 percent of 232,860 workers.
Justice – 17 percent of 114,154 workers.
Agriculture – 40 percent of 95,383 workers. February food stamps could be cut.
Treasury – 83 percent of 87,267 workers. Tax refunds could be delayed.
Interior – 78 percent of 68,469 workers. National Park maintenance has decreased.
Transportation – 34 percent of 54,230 workers. Some security screeners have called in sick.
Commerce – 87 percent of 47,896 workers.
Environmental Protection Agency – 95 percent of 13,872 workers. It can use reserve funds to stay open through December 28.
Housing and Urban Development – 95 percent of 7,497 workers.

So you can see the largest percentage of employees considered non-essential are housed in HUD, Dept. of Interior and the IRS. Ask yourself why that is.

These workers will get paid back pay when this furlough ends. So why is everyone so concerned? There is certainly more to consider than what has been presented herein. You’ll have to come to your own conclusion and do more research as necessary.

Opinion – This is all political theater. Many Presidents in recent past have triggered (for lack of a better word) shutdowns. The left and the right don’t agree, but it has more to do with House and Senate Democrats depriving President Trump of his key campaign promise. POTUS Trump promised to build a border security wall to protect all Americans from violent crimes, slow the influx of drugs for Mexico and Central America, as well as, stop illegal aliens from entering via our southern border. Foreign elements and their people do not respect our laws. They like our living conditions, job availability, and our welfare system. Unfortunately, about half of the legal born citizens of our great nation buy into the emotional false narratives the Main Stream Media hammers into their brains.

Additionally, the US spends more than the $5.6 Billion requested in just three(3) days on various welfare programs, almost $2 Billion per day. In 2019 and 2020 Conservatives will need to band together and put minor differences aside to preserve the freedoms we now enjoy. Democrats are being extremely petty and obstinate but they are banding together to form their own “wall”.

The President will use the National Emergencies Act of 1976 in drawing down necessary funds for this wall by declaring a national emergency. Then, and only then, will these non-essential workers go back to being non-essential at your expense.

Big Daddy Government

Leave a reply

Leftists worship Big Daddy Government because “they don’t have a hope in God,…. they have no hope in a higher power” so says NC Lt. Governor Dan Forest. Sure there’s a difference in radical leftists and every day liberals…. not much, but there is a slight separation. Leftists march in the street claiming they are “nasty women” wearing vagina hats. Yes, that’s pretty nasty….

For the most part liberals just want equality and for everyone to get along. Leftists identify more with anarchists.

Most liberals think they are saving the planet by driving a Prius and supporting corporate solar farms, but both, leftists and liberals, vote the same way and are easily misled.

What liberals just won’t admit is that when they vote for any Democrat, they are voting to support abortion. Some of you would dispute this fact and that’s okay, but you would be wrong. The Democratic Platform makes it very clear where they stand on abortion, the murder of the unborn.

Keep voting Democrat, keep feeding the monster, and keep supporting their radically immoral agenda.

Government is their God. In fact they voted to remove the word God from their platform altogether. Can’t mention God, someone may be offended. Can’t mention gender, someone may be offended. Can’t mention race or you are automatically a racist. But Big Daddy Government needs gender and race for you driver’s license. Leftists and most liberals are hypocrites. Leftists are socialists and would have everyone sucking off of government subsidies. They do not acknowledge God and hate the United States but would spend that free money. On our currency appear the words “In God We Trust”. How long will that last?

Republicans push less regulation because we enjoy our innate God-given liberties. The Left wants to be controlled, enslaved. No one can successfully argue that government doesn’t take freedom and liberties from us. The left confuses God with Government.

Here’s an example of a Leftist elected official? California Governor Jerry Brown says the Bible is discriminatory towards the LGBT crowd so he’s pushing a House bill that bans sales of the Bible and Christian counseling. No, seriously this is real! READ HERE These people will stop at nothing!

Republicans abolished slavery because we believe are all created the same in the eyes of God. If we didn’t believe in God that line of thinking is no good, right? Republicans also championed the Civil Rights movement in the 60’s. Many Democrats, especially black Democrats, give those credits to the Democrats. This was an overwhelmingly Republican led Act.

The leftist narrative is extremely bizarre and well funded and they are in the business of brainwashing and spewing false narratives. Facts be damned! A lot of funding comes from out of our country. George Soros is prime example. Disgustingly enough, even past President Obama and his wife, Michele are working to undermine the Trump administration. CLICK HERE

Academia doesn’t do morality any favors. Why do we send our kids to these viper pits? A New Testament studies Professor at Holy Cross named Benny Liew, claims there was “something quintessentially queer” about Jesus’s relationship with God the Father. Also, that washing the disciples feet was sexually “suggestive, even seductive.” He noted that Jesus was a cross-dresser and had queer desires.

We are sending way too many kids to college and not enough to trade schools. But that’s another column.

Wars have been fought for centuries for land mass take over… at any cost. Why do some folks have a hard time believing it’s happening right here in these United States? Is the country is brainwashed by Main Stream Media? There are many within our borders that hate America and want to take part in its downfall.

Now is the time for you to get down and dirty and fight for what you know is right. Fight for your conservative values and for adherence to some semblance of morality. We can not win this battle by ignoring their advance or yelling at the TV or quietly discussing it at work. No! You are going to have to get LOUD and BOLD….

Because they are coming for ALL your Land, your Rights, and ALL your money, and your children’s minds. Maybe even your life.

And…..

They are already working harder than we are!

Public Private Partnership Fails… Deal Could Chain Residents to Long Term Debt

Leave a reply

A funny thing happened on the way to the gym a few months ago. Yep, I arrived and it was closed. All the equipment was gone! Empty! The note said my membership would transfer laterally to another local gym. The owners were going out of business.

Flashback 7 years ago when the City of Kinston and County of Lenoir entered into a public/private contractual agreement with Woodmen of the World to build office facilities, a state of the art gymnasium and a water park! An $8 million project. Taxpayers dollars were put on the table quickly to the tune of $1 million. Half from the City and half from the County and the Woodmen Community Center was constructed. There are other recurring expenses such as maintaining insurance, but the contract called for $1 million. The center/water park did remarkably well for the first year but has been losing money ever since.

The Woodmen Community Center has already become a Fiscal Albatross to the Woodmen of the World organization and to the City/County. So let’s look at where our liberal elected leaders and non-elected bureaucrats have led us.

First infraction – Government should NEVER compete with the private sector! Public/private partnerships are enticing but rarely work without infringing upon personal rights. Our leadership entered into an agreement, as such January 30, 2011, with YOUR money READ HERE.

The Woodmen Center was a losing proposition from the beginning. Using tax dollars to put gyms out of business or damage them financially is a cardinal sin. But the public bought the “snake oil” hook, line, and sinker. Did the residents have a choice in the matter? I think not as the vote was shoved through with very little public disclosure.

The promise of affordable memberships and the water park bringing business was a sales gimmick. Prior to building of the Center, I questioned a, now retired, department head as to how it is that the population he intended to serve couldn’t afford a membership and most likely wouldn’t be able to get there. He said they would have scholarships and the River Walk would be built making it easier for travel by bike or walking. I asked where the scholarships would come from and why he thought he could depend on a trail that wasn’t even funded as a travel route from east Kinston. He could not answer the question.

Now there is also a lawsuit pending against the Woodmen after a near drowning. Losing money hand over fist and facing a lawsuit of this magnitude, no wonder they want to “Gift” the facility to local government (Click HERE). Will our elected leaders make the same mistake again and fall for the Bling? From reading some news quotes, sounds as if our freshman Mayor and some others in leadership are leaning that way. It’s not YOUR money to lose, Mayor! This is a terrible deal for the City and County. Do the right thing!

As we say in my profession ~ “You start out wrong and keep going wrong and you wind up wrong!”

Kinston City Council and Lenoir County Commissioners must hold Woodmen to this contract.The Woodmen Organization can bear the financial burden in fulfilling their obligations. If it takes a lawsuit to persuade them to do the right thing, then so be it.

The taxpayers CAN NOT support this Center without more hidden fees and/or increased taxes. Kinston and Lenoir County have one of the highest combined tax rates in the state of North Carolina. Ironically, we are one of the poorest counties in the State. Those residents already bearing the brunt of the fiscal responsibility in this County are done with inadequate leadership. We will NOT further subsidize incompetence. Tell them to do the right thing!

ACTION ITEMS!

Read the original agreement by clicking HERE

Contact your City Council Members and County Commissioners and tell them NOT to take the “GIFT” from the Woodmen of the World organization. Tell them to stick to the original agreement no matter what. We don’t want the inevitable debt!

Liberal Fear Mongering Is A Weapon

Leave a reply

The sole letter to the editor published in the Kinston Free Press in the Sunday, July 23rd edition entitled “How to have less crime in North Carolina” raised a few Red Flags. In his letter, Mr. Pearson submits that young people have guns “many of which are stolen or given to them by elders.” He then offered up a way to catch these perpetrators, “young criminals” who are “getting away with it”. He suggests a minimum age to purchase ammunition be set at 20 years of age, that retailers be required to make available to law enforcement the name, age, address, type of ammo and quantity. He says our legislature and governor should take action.

See any red flags yet? The first one, of course, is an infringement on our Second Amendment rights by limiting a person old enough to go to war and defend his or her country from buying ammunition in the States. Furthermore, to have ammo buyers submitted into yet another layered database is just another infringement on privacy. Current North Carolina law does not require a license for the sale of ammunition, require sellers of ammunition to maintain a record of the purchasers, or require a license to purchase or possess ammunition.

From the Center For Disease Control statistics, heart disease is the number one killer in these united States with around 633,000 dying each year. Cancer comes in second at around 560,000. You may think it bizarre, but how about if we required retailers to check your identification and have reports ready on how much unhealthy food you buy at the market or how many cigarettes you purchase? You say, “Well that’s not the same thing. It’s my right to eat the way I want and to smoke.” But fat and cigarettes kill far more people than guns. According to the CDC, in 2015 there were over 36,000 gun related deaths, many of which were self inflicted.

That means the chances of you eating yourself to death are about 17.5 times higher than death by firearm.

I submit we should not legislate more law. We are already overburdened with regulation. I submit that each child deserves a mother and a father to raise them. Most of our problems today stem directly from irresponsible parenting. Guns get a bad rap because they are easy prey. False narratives created by main stream media, along with liberal fear mongering, continue to pad the pockets of anti-gun special interest groups and indoctrinate the ignorant with liberal logic.

People are afraid of things they don’t understand. Don’t be that person.

Taking An Unborn Life Is Murder

On January 20th, 2017 Donald John Trump became President Trump. My wife and I were there in Washington, DC for the ceremonies and the experience was very refreshing. A lot of people put their lives on hold in the year 2016 to assure we had a Republican in the White House so we all sighed a breath of relief when he took that oath. What a great experience!

On Saturday, January 21st, the day after the Inauguration, there was a “Women’s March”. We had taken the metro to lunch that day and on the way back encountered the mass exodus of these “women” leaving the Washington. We could barely get on the train it was so packed. I wrote this on Facebook after the experience:

March of The Walking Dead…..
1000’s of “Living Specimens” returning to a neighborhood near you from the “Women’s March” in DC. The only reason they had an opportunity to protest today was because their Mama’s didn’t abort them.
Had to ride two stops with em’.

You’ve probably heard different stories about the numbers and why they were there and seen plenty of pictures…. because Mainstream Media covered that nonsense better than the Inauguration of our President! What is very sad is that the majority of these lost souls couldn’t give you a specific reason as to why they were there. They would say “We’re here to protect women’s rights!” Well what rights are those…the rights granted to all of us via the Constitution? You already have those rights, “ladies”….

Here’s the truth. This was a highly organized protest paid for largely by George Soros funded organizations. These folks just didn’t show up.

Social media was used extensively to get these women to DC and maybe even subsidize their expenses to protest something…. but what?

They’ve heard the lies long enough they believe them. They have been scared into believing that with Trump’s appointment(s) to the highest court in the land, Roe v. Wade will be challenged and reversed. Also that Federal funding for Planned Parenthood will be eliminated. I think those are valid concerns and have faith both will happen, and soon!

The goal of this march was not to prove harm is being done to women, because there is none. Approximately 1.5 million children continue to be murdered each year through abortion in the United States. That is the harm. No, the real goal of this exercise was to detract from the Inauguration of our 45th President, cause confusion and chaos, mock and call him bad names.

To hijack the media so all eyes would be on these “ladies” prancing around the streets of DC in huge vagina outfits…. that was their modus operandi. It worked for only a few hours.

Fast forward one week….

Today the “March for Life” is being held on the Mall in DC. Vice President Mike Pence spoke, as well as, Kelly Anne Conway, adviser to the President. The liberal rag, the Washington Post reported:

“Earlier, Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life, listed her four demands for Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress:

● Appoint an antiabortion justice to the Supreme Court.

● Make the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding for many abortions in the United States, into a permanent law rather than the one-year provision that has been extended each year from 1976 to the present.

● Pass a law banning abortion nationwide after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

● Stop all federal funding for Planned Parenthood unless the organization were to somehow stop performing abortions.”

The media “trumped up” the numbers for the “Women’s March”. There were estimates as high as 1 million and as low as 500,000. MSM will try to ignore and negate not only the numbers for this March for Life rally, the 48th by the way….. they will attempt to negate the whole thing.

It’s easier for them not to address the slaughter of children so they turn from the truth and create “fake news”, the newest terminology.

Meanwhile, President Trump has already proven to be a man of action. In his first week he has already addressed a number of his campaign promises through executive order. One of the more impressive was reversing Obama’s payout to the Palestinian Organization of $221 Million, Obama’s last hurrah. There was also the Federal hiring and spending freeze, reinstating the “Mexico City rule” which bans overseas funding to groups that provide abortions or abortion referrals, gave a green light finish the XL Pipeline, will be asking for a major investigation into voter fraud, and the list goes on.

I think we have a good horse running this race. But we all need to remember our country and our elected officials work to promote our interests within the parameters of the Constitution. President Trump was elected not only because he appealed to the working class and middle America. He was elected because many activists put their lives on hold to raise him and other Republican leaders to their respective positions. Let us not take our eyes off their work and remind them we are watching.

“Some one has justly remarked, that ‘eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.’ Let the sentinels on the watch-tower sleep not, and slumber not.” – May 2, 1833 edition of The Virginia Free Press and Farmers’ Repository

They Are Coming For Your Ballot!

After cyber attacks on a few state election board websites the Obama administration may be forcing it’s hand in a big way. This is quite dangerous for all Americans and not to be taken lightly. The federal government has no jurisdiction over election proceedings. This duty is left to our sovereign states. But what do you know, right? The Obama regime has issued the following statement:

“We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process, is critical infrastructure like the financial sector, like the power grid,”… “There’s a vital national interest in our election process, so I do think we need to consider whether it should be considered by my department and others critical infrastructure,” said Homeland Security Sec. Jeh Johnson

The key words here are “critical infrastucture”…. they are trying to make the case that the states can’t pull off just one more election without help from the federal government. So Obama, the caped crusader, and his Democratic regime are rushing in to “save” the nation from “those bad old hackers” in the name of Cyber security. This comes two months before the most crucial and defining general election in the history of our nation.

Opinion? For DHS to come in and say “this is what we’re going to do” could be seen as police state activity.

In fact it, the general perception is the Obama regime will do anything to help Hillary win in November…. even forcing control over and rigging this election!

The only legal way the feds could step in and take over election process would be at a state’s request or Congress pass a law. But since there is no time for that and this rogue administration does not respect the law any more than they do you or me, expect another forthcoming “executive order”.

We’ve watched an unqualified vindictive POTUS drive this country into the ground over the last 8 years. If you’ve had enough of the incompetence, his globalist approach to immigration and refugee resettlement, his unwillingness to call out radical Islamic, his repetitive lies…… well you ain’t seen nothing yet. Let Hillary Clinton win this election and we are DONE for as a sovereign nation. Your 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights will be taken. She has already made that promise. This is going to be a real gun fight, friends.

Reports From the Republican National Convention 2016

Here are three links for submitted and published newspaper columns leading up to and during the RNC 2016. The convention was an awesome experience. Donald J. Trump was nominated as the Republican nominee along with Indiana Governor, Mike Pence as his Vice-Presidential running mate.

2016-Trump-Pence

Sunday, July 17, 2016

July 20, 2016

July 22, 2016

Because I attended the entire Convention I can remark that it was a positive experience and the first big step in unifying the Republican Party in support of our nominee, Donald J. Trump. I am a Republican and County Chairman, so I supported ALL the candidates throughout the primary. Since the primary ended and Trump emerged as nominee, I have and will support him in winning the Presidency in November.

There are some holdouts, however, as we saw at the Convention. While I respect everyone’s opinion and right to support Cruz or Kasich, it is past time to support the nominee. Cruz’s speech at the Convention was counterproductive and selfish. The friction between him and Trump has been no secret, but as an alternative, he could have offered his support in a statement such as,

“I have to decided to offer my assistance to OUR nominee, Donald J. Trump, in beating Hillary Clinton in November and ask you to do the same. It is time to put ALL differences aside, turn the other cheek, and win in November. Otherwise, our country will be unrecognizable in four years.” – (what he could have said but didn’t)

But instead Cruz pontificated for 23 minutes touting his values and his father’s struggles, “freedom”, and “liberty”. As for the wide majority of Delegates, Alternate Delegates and Guests I spoke with “disappointment” was an understatement. What, really, will his inability to “put his pride aside” do to move our nation forward or unify as a party? The answer is NOTHING… it was a selfish move.

Overall the convention was well organized(seamless) and our Delegation was shown tremendous hospitality by the event staff, residents of Cleveland, the Secret Service, and all Law Enforcement. There was little trouble, even with protesters. Michele and I can’t wait to go back 2020 and we highly recommend the experience. I’ll start putting my change in the jar now and maybe I’ll have enough saved in four years!

It’s time to put your game face on folks! We must win this election. The stakes are too high and there will be no forgiveness once Hillary takes the White House. I’m telling you, we will be doomed.

The Business End Of The Sausage Machine

Leave a reply

NC House Bill 2 (HB2) has made a media splash when the North Carolina Legislature countered government overreach dictated by Charlotte’s City Council… their “use whichever bathroom you ID with…” ordinance. The ordinance was a gross violation of the morals and ethics of the people of North Carolina in so many ways there have been reverberations felt all over the country… and the bathroom floor is still shaking!

Fascist Government Mandates seem to be quite the trend these days, a tone set by the POTUS, Obama. At first larger corporations were coming out of the woodwork in support of transgenders and their rights. Musicians (if you can call some of them musicians) boycotted North Carolina. However, once a clear message had been sent by the NC Legislature, a representative voice of the people of North Carolina, that these corporations threatening to boycott our State could simply take their business elsewhere, Obama and the Feds launched a separate assault threatening to take away North Carolina education dollars. The general public doesn’t know, but the Feds only contribute about 15% – 20% to our education funding….. only with strings attached, like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey. One example?…. Common Core standards/mandates/decrees.

We don’t take the funding and we aren’t beholden to the Feds or their silly games.

The liberal progressives will try other forms of blackmail of course. North Carolina launched a lawsuit a week ago against these federal bullies just hours before the Feds launched their own against North Carolina and our Governor.

But…ALL of this is just a smoke screen, a diversion in a critical election year. Those acquiring their “news” from progressive mainstream media to include CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, the NY Times, Charlotte Observer, Winston-Salem Journal, or the News and Observer (just to name a few) are getting the story spun to fit an agenda set by donor dollars. Yes, even FOX has a conservative image to uphold. These media outlets care about one thing, selling a story…. and we need to remember that.

Most often what comes out of the business end of the sausage machine is a propagandized tie-died remnant of the truth.

Remember, these news outlets depend on advertising dollars to survive and can’t afford to tick off the wrong people…. their existence depends on it. They are bought and sold!

Because of the fissure created when the HB2 firecracker went off, Obama is doing what Obamas do best, issuing more decrees, creating division, and inciting riot …. this time he wants ALL publicly funded schools across the country to comply with his gender neutral bathroom decree.

His ammo? He will unilaterally withhold federal education dollars, the only illegal leverage he has. It’s our belief the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) should be defunded and shut down, the authority and responsibility given back to the States to educate our children.

Remember this…. North Carolina is a pivotal state in 2016 with the Number 1 Governor’s race and Number 1 Senate race in the country. We are 6th in the nation in delegate count with 72! We are a threat to Obama’s agenda, Roy Cooper’s agenda, Rev. Wm. Barber’s agenda, and to Hillary’s agenda. The mortar attacks we are experiencing now are only the beginning of what is to come. We should take it very personally!

When Donald Trump is elected as next President of the United States of America he will address the unconstitutional decrees and mandates by simply reversing them. But until then, until we have a real leader to stand up for the working class, the people that drive this country’s economy, the monkey business will continue. Until we have a real leader to stand up to the corruption in Congress and most importantly the bureaucrats that are holding us all hostage, the monkey business will continue. We need a new zookeeper ….yesterday!

This Election Is NOT About You and Me

As of last night billionaire business magnate Donald Trump is the Presumptive Nominee for President of these united States of America. Social media has gone wild with opinions spanning the spectrum in complete support of Trump to those that threaten to take their toys and go home since their candidate didn’t win, #NeverTrump. Cruz and Trump are very different animals, yet both know how to play the game. Despite what either would have you believe they are both politicians, though Trump has never held public office.

So what price will we pay as a nation if idealist millennials and the religious right allow their emotions to overtake common sense by staying home on election day? Romney lost in 2012 because “Christians” stayed home. Well, Clinton will win.

If social conservatives exhibit obstinance in November our nation will go the way of Communist rule with wealth redistribution, land grabs, socialized medicine and the like. You WILL WAIT for medical procedures just like the next guy no matter your contribution to ‘The System’. America will move even closer to a one world government. UN soldiers and workers along with Dept. of Homeland Security goons will infiltrate every aspect of your life. That’s already underway. Big government is poised for a resistance because bureaucrats run this country, not the President or Congress.

This is what Hillary has been working toward her whole life and the climate is ripe. She studied under Saul Alinsky, a communist community organizer. She is ready to take the throne and force her ideals on the American people, like it or not.

It is our hope that Donald Trump will lay out more specific plans to “make America great again”. We know he has financial sensibility, is willing to take on the immigration problem and secure our border, will take on ISIS and other international threats directly. Even so, some idealist holdouts will stay home on election day. We have a chance to put a Republican in the White House again. You may not agree with all his tactics. You may not like his temperament or the way he wears his hair. He may be too far right or left on issues you take to heart. But he WILL BE the Republican nominee come July. It’s time to lay trivialities aside and support our nominee.

This election is not about you and me. It is about future generations of Americans. You have a choice in November….. Embrace Capitalism or Embrace Communism. It’s that simple. Staying home or not voting for the Republican candidate supports the latter. Choose wisely and unselfishly.

Perspective On The “Big Business” Boycotts

3 Replies

Let’s begin by putting a few things in perspective regarding business in North Carolina. The State of North Carolina currently employs 133,865. This number does not include county and municipal employees totaling an estimated 237,000. In the third quarter of 2015 North Carolina Small Businesses employed 1.6 million people, or 46.0% of the private workforce. That’s 97.9% of all employers in the State of North Carolina.

In July, 2015 the estimated population in North Carolina was 10,042,802 (US Census Bureau). Of that number it is estimated that about 62.1% worked full or part-time while the remainder do not work for a variety of reasons. They are either retired, unemployed looking for a job, medically disabled, or not looking for work but collecting welfare and other subsidies.

Using census data, we can deduce that the workforce in North Carolina is comprised of roughly 6,236,500 workers. Here’s the breakdown:

3,500,000 private sector jobs
371,000 state and local government jobs
56,980 federal jobs
2,308,500 large corporations job/other categories

Well over half of the jobs in North Carolina are provided through small businesses. With the passage of House Bill 2 (HB2) a few weeks ago which, in part, regulates bathroom usage to that bathroom matching one’s birth certificate, there have be a host of corporations that have taken a reactionary stance against this Bill, along with some entertainers. In a recent article entitled “Are We Ruled By Radicals… Progressive Mud Slinging Gets Bawdy” we pointed out the political gain attributed to this whole debacle.

President Obama has even chimed in from London assuring the good people it’s safe to travel to North Carolina….and then stated, “I also think the laws that have been passed there are wrong and should be overturned…”.

Josh Ellis from Governor Pat McCrory’s office issued a statement in reply,

“Governor McCrory agrees with President Obama that all people are welcome to our state and everybody will be treated well with extraordinary hospitality. However, the governor respectfully disagrees with the political left’s national agenda to mandate changes to basic, common-sense restroom norms.”

Over half the jobs in North Carolina can be attributed to the private sector. The quality of people that create business and jobs for North Carolinians, by and large, don’t have a lot of tolerance for nonsense like corporate boycotts and performing artists pulling their shows. One of the best, Jimmy Buffett performed last night in Raleigh.

And we really don’t care what Springsteen thinks about a “transgender woman” using the urinal. He needs to retire anyway. He can hang out with anyone he chooses to…. on his own dime.

Liberal progressive corporations are free to locate wherever they feel comfortable. Some of them refuse to have their names published. However, the www.dailynewsfix.org will be publishing a list in our next edition. That information will provide the latitude so you may decide whether or not you wish to patronize a business that uses Alinsky tactics to “control the peasants”.

More importantly we should scrutinize over supporting any business that thinks it’s okay to compromise the safety of our children so they can sell one more cup of coffee or a chicken nugget.

Just like the transgender population, we in North Carolina won’t allow 0.03% or a small minority, to control the moral majority. Threatening us won’t work and it never will. With the ingenuity North Carolinians possess we’ll just fill the void when these Corporations head off to Rhode Island or some other liberal haven. After all our State motto is Esse quam videri, Latin for “To be, rather than to seem”. Rather appropriate!…. The Daily News Fix says Good Riddance!
