Will all North Carolinians pay the price for Republicans nominating a gubernatorial candidate who favorably quotes Adolf Hitler, compares LGBTQ+ people to “maggots” and “flies,” and thinks a six-week abortion ban is awesome but not quite awesome enough? In a less benighted time, we might have confidently said, “Hell yes. That’s not the America I know. The America I know overcharges everyone for prescription drugs, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.” But MAGA has...

It’s Time For GOP To Unite Behind Trump Authored by Bernie Marcus via RealClear Wire, For the first time in my 94 years on earth, I fear for the future of our democracy. I see the federal government using its enormous powers with contempt for the governed instead of with the consent of the governed as our founders envisioned. Fundamental change in America is occurring by executive order or the force of the government’s police powers instead of through the legislative process...
Yesterday, Trump tried to walk back his Saturday warning in Dayton of a “blood bath” if he is not reelected, saying he was just warning of a “blood bath” in store for the auto industry if his proposed 100 percent tariff on Chinese cars isn’t enacted. Rubbish. At the start of that Saturday rally, Trump raised his hand in salute to the brim of his red MAGA hat, as a recorded chorus of prisoners in jail for their roles in the Jan. 6 attack sang the national anthem. An announcer asked the crowd to...
Remember how Democrats rushed to the television cameras after Joe Biden's State of the Union address, shouting, "See? He's vigorous! He can totally handle the presidency!"
When North Carolina held primary campaigns earlier this month, there wasn’t a lot of national interest in the Republican race to oversee the state’s public-school system. There was a surprise outcome in the GOP contest — conservative activist Michele Morrow upset incumbent Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt — but outside of the state, this didn’t generate headlines. That changed when CNN ran this report. Yes, the Republican nominee to oversee public education in North...
Hamilton, Halton, Niagara and area news from CHCH - Hamilton, Halton, and Niagara news.. Former president and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is defending comments he made over the weekend — saying “it will be a bloodbath” if he doesn’t win the next election.

Now that the experiment in foregone conclusions (also known as the 2024 Primary Season) is over, congratulations are in order. While all eyes, ears, browsers, and cameras focused on the Trump/Haley grudge match, plenty of the undercard bouts went ignored. During one such race, a college student came out of the woodwork to successfully challenge a GOP incumbent for a North Carolina House seat.
In 2020, Joe Biden narrowly missed capturing North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes, losing the state by a slim 1.4-percentage-point margin. But that was nearly four years ago. Before the Dobbs decision. Before Donald Trump’s 91 felony indictments. And before last week, when the state’s GOP voters nominated a guy—who favorably quotes Hitler, has compared LGBTQ+ people to insects and larvae, and thinks a six-week abortion ban isn’t quite extreme enough—for governor. Tar Heel State Republicans also...
