Yet another McCrory show of ignorance

Pat's Ignorance Continues

Even after Pat McCrory has lost the election he continues to show his ignorance and hatefulness by agreeing with the spiteful NC GOP power grab movement. He is showing how narrowminded he is and that he does not know how to respect the office and support his own new governor.

The latest McCrory failure to respect the will of state citizens is shown in this news article...

Thanks, Pat. It's been great fun!

Congrats also go to the GOP leaders Moore, Berger and Stam for their tireless contributions in pushing discrimination in all they do for the state! Great job guys!!!

MAD Magazine puts McCrory on ‘20 Dumbest List’ for HB2

McCrory Unable To Face Reality Two Weeks After The Election

Pat McCrory and his campaign crew just cannot let go. Like a dog with a bone, he seems to be incapable of facing reality and acknowledging his clear defeat in the 2016 governor's election.

He either cannot understand how much economic damage he has brought to the state or wants to trick citizens into thinking he has done good things for the state and refuses to go back to where he came from. His personal involvement in legislative efforts to bring discrimination into state government has lost hundreds of millions of dollars in income to the state and taken jobs away from thousands of people that work in jobs directly tied to these losses. Dozens of sports events have cancelled events in the state and have moved out of the region. Multiple big corporations have decided to not bring their businesses to NC and not expand businesses already here.

During the entire campaign he pretended he had done no wrong when he signed into law HB2, the controversial law the NC GOP dominated legislature created that clearly put the state in the position of discriminating against many individuals in NC.

NC and the bathroom police

NC Bathroom Police Captain

Worried about a Trans person coming into the bathroom when you are in there? Worry no more!

Governor Pat McCrory has decided that he will be Captain of the new "bathroom police" (he likes to pretend to be a leader) beginning just after the 2016 Governor's election. He will be joined by his band of merry men in the legislature that also want to be part of the bathroom police force.

They all claim to have great qualifications to inspect your birth certificate and check your private parts to insure your parts match the birth certificate. Or that you have legally changed your birth sex of record on the certificate. Each inspector will be equipped with special birth certificate reading glasses and special state issued rubber gloves to use when they check you and the Trans people out. Why both? They say they have to check everyone since there may not be any visible difference in character and appearance so inspections for all will be the rule of the day with the special police.

Be sure after the election you start carrying a copy of your birth certificate every time you visit a state or public bathroom!

HB2 Pat at the End of Your Political Carreer

Happy Birthday Pat McCrory! And sayonara from all the state citizens that you discriminated against with the urgent passage of your illegal and immoral HB2 law.

You, Phil Berger and Tim Moore deserve all the destruction to your political careers that you get from here on out. In your boundless ignorance you remain blinded to reality in your self denial and enormous lack of understanding of the diverse population in our state and country as you drift in the past.

Sen. Burr Risks It All

Senator Richard Burr has tied his political future to a self destructing candidate. Or is it a falling rock? Either way he has now left himself riding the fiery crash of Donald Trump as Trump scorches the earth in his own last campaign days.

The big lie about NC HB2 purpose

Extreme Religious View

An extreme religious group, Institute for Faith and Family (IFF), has created a video to project a complete lie and fabrication about the alleged need for the highly controversial and unconstitutional NC House Bill 2 (HB2). The fabrication by this extreme group uses a young female student at a Greenville Christian Academy to claim repealing the law would allow men and boys to shower in and use bathrooms with women and girls and would endanger them by allowing predators into the facilities.

The truth is there has NEVER been a case of a man or boy using women's locker or restrooms anywhere and endangering women and girls. The whole fabrication is being pushed onto NC people and TV viewers by Tami Fitzgerald, director of the extreme IFF organization, and similar extremists trying to pivot citizens away from repealing the unjust and unconstitutional law.

The law is a hate bill fabrication of Representatives Tim Moore and Phil Berger, and rushed through the NC Legislature for signature by Governor McCrory in just 12 hours in March. There was no discussion or debate allowed and the HB2 law in fact discriminates against LGBTQ citizens and prevents NC communities from passing laws to provide them with protections afforded to other citizens. Fallout has now cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars and jobs and planned sports have been moved out of state for years to come.

This year, more than ever, it is extremely important to vote and get the extremist politicians out of the Legislature and government and restore sanity to NC governmental processes. It is equally important to speak out and rebuke the extremists pushing distorted views on citizens and the state.

Donald Trump Denied NC Civil Rights Museum Access

During the heated 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump and his team tried to get the NC Civil Rights Museum to allow them to freely roam around the site to make photo-op pictures of him in the museum. The museum staff told them the museum is for the public and educational purposes and he could not use the site for political purposes.

McCrory's sleazy sickly lady commercial

A new September 2016 TV ad peddling more of McCrory's twisted hatred for anything good in North Carolina shows how he stretches the truth pretending to say he is not responsible for failures and problems in previous years in the state's crime lab.

The ad features a sickly sounding lady that appears to be around forty or fifty years old. She was born in and living in Atlanta and did not live in NC when the incident occurred. She was actually molested by her own family members as revealed in an interview not referenced in the advertisement. In her pale, fainting voice she tries to paint a picture of how she was molested or raped when she was nine years old and how this might be connected to failures of McCrory's opponent and how McCrory's administration's crime lab did not process rape kits and evidence in a timely manner. The truth is it was in no way connected to the NC crime lab. Interesting that it occurred almost forty years ago in another state. This actually happened before McCrory and Cooper both were a part of North Carolina's government. 

This is clearly another of McCrory's blatant lies that goes along with his pattern of pumping up his own version of his reputation, supporting his personal legislation attacking the NC LGBTQ community and trampling rights of citizens.

Is it true? The ONLY state to cut off unemployment???

Interesting read about NC being the ONLY state to cut off unemployment benefits. And it seems that it is not too late to provide these benefits and it will not cost the state anything... Read more...

Moron Monday shows radical Left just doesn’t get it : NC SPIN Balanced Debate for the Old North State

Sen. Thom Goolsby
The Real Moron

This guy is the "Moron", to use his his own words.

How can a person that claims to represent NC citizens pull off calling NC people "morons"? He claims Reverend Barker is a fake and insults pretty much all of the folks that attended legislature Monday protests. He also referred to the attendees as "mostly white, angry, aged former hippies" and insults them all while lumping them all into the class of "Radical Left".

Seems more like Thom Goolsby along with his friends the Three Amigos (Tillis, Berger and Stam) are the real Morons in NC. All aggressively push agendas to ignore the lower income state citizens and those that need help to live and get health care. The real GOP Morons have taken radical steps to take away health care, unemployment assistance, equality, marriage rights, public school funding, reduce voting rights, slant voters to the GOP side and even reduce educational capacity in the state.

Its not the Democrats bankrupting the state. It is the current crop of GOP elected folks that have taken over the legislature and are using that to trash the state and continue to make NC rank among the poorest places to live and work. With the GOP agenda the average and lower income citizens will pay more taxes, lose ground and find it even harder to find work in the state for as long as this distortion of state government continues.

His radical views are pretty well covered in this article published by NC Spin.

NCDOT Removes EV Charging Stations From Rest Stops | WUNC

NC fails to support public interest in rechargeable cars and stops effort to use renewable energy on NC roads.

Poor planning and lack of foresight causes NC DOT and lawmakers to fail in an effort to support use of rechargeable cars on NC highways. According to DOT spokeswoman Julia Casadonte "the stations were meant to be a temporary pilot project" and that the department removed the charging stations to resolve a conflict in laws. Rather than solve a problem of how to accommodate payment for recharging, the DOT removed the stations because a poorly planned directive required the DOT to find a way to charge drivers for using the stations. This conflicted with a Federal law saying charges may be only made for vending machine services along highways. 

The charging stations were in fact being used by the public. Over 14 months 146 vehicles were recharged at a total cost of $44.00 for the energy consumed. Since the state did not find a way to allow customers to pay for the service they decided to just "pull the plug" and remove the chargers.

Enough is enough | Vote them all out

Its time to get the NC Republicans that do not support the needs of NC citizens out of office. Vote them out at the next opportunity and vote in representatives that do care about citizens.

Taking away unemployment benefits from those out of work is just not right. Withholding health care and benefits from those that do not have the means to buy it is just not right. Reducing the quality of education and reducing funding for teachers and schools is just not right.

In fact, lets all start moving to get them out of those cushy jobs now. There is absolutely no need to have GOP Rep's in the legislature moving the state backward in time and crushing those that do not meet their standards and views for being state residents.

Health care for kids, grandparents on Medicaid is not a “runaway entitlement” or “parasitic disease”

The current crop of Legislators is especially hard on those in the low income segment of our state - children, seniors, and the disabled with no other health care. Too bad Phil Berger and his comrades in arms waging war on the poor aren't required to survive at the same level of income and give up their cushy Legislature benefits. They are so out of touch with the real world and so filled with hatred they can't do anything for those with real needs.

More loss of rights for NC citizens - Senate committee limits local control, regulations on outdoor smoking « The Progressive Pulse

Senator Buck Newton, the sponsor of Senate Bill 703, told members of the Agriculture/Environment/Natural Resources committee that it was ‘ridiculous’ that adult smokers could not enjoy tobacco on a windy beach, a city sidewalk, or while sitting on the back of their pick-up truck on a community college campus. 

Senator Buck Newton seems to have tobacco in his pocket. It is clear Senator Newton has not sat on a beach in the path of smoke from an inconsiderate smoker puffing on the beach. Or tried to walk in public places with smokers lining the path and blowing smoke in the fresh air other people are trying to breathe. 

Time to vote him out.

More bureaucratic micromanagement at DHHS - Signature Gate!

This is truly bizarre! It would appear that the newly appointed head of NC's DHHS does not live in the real world, much less on the same planet as everyone else in the state. Anyone that would issue a directive with such specific details about how to "sign" employee email messages has no business being in the job, and certainly not being an employee/appointee of the state.

According to this, Secretary Aldona Wos has no clue how to be a leader or manager and is clearly not fit to be a part of the Governor's administration. This is truly embarrassing to the entire state and makes the whole administration look like idiots. Read the whole report --- More bureaucratic micromanagement at DHHS « The Progressive Pulse:

Stam introduces bill to take tax money away from public schools and benefit his friends wanting to avoid one of the lowest rated school systems in the country

Paul Stam strikes again by introducing a bill that would continue the streak of taking tax dollars (on top of rights) away from the majority of state citizens and would hand the funds off to benefit wealthy prejudiced  friends and connections. He wants to pass legislation that would take some ninety million dollars over two years from everyone's tax money and hand it to wealthy folks that want to send their children to private schools to avoid the public school system.

It's interesting he's the BFF of Apex Mayor Keith Weatherly, the owners of the Thales Academy in Apex and no doubt with others wanting to build private schools. And now he wants to take advantage of folks by taking taxpayer's dollars to give to friends to send their kids to private schools at the expense of public schools.

Stam says his plan should be known as the "Opportunity Scholarship program" and not a voucher program. He thinks this will fool folks into thinking it is good for them and not oppose it. Everyone else says it is simply a voucher scheme and will drain vital funds away from public schools already being underfunded by Stam and his legislative buddies.

If you look back as recently as the Governor Mike Easley era, North Carolina has been consistently ranked low on the education ladder, low in teacher pay and behind most other states and is not producing future employees and leaders other states are producing. North Carolina is ranked way down toward the bottom of the list on funding for schools and teachers and is introducing the voucher program as yet another way to drain off more education funds to promote private purposes most families are excluded from.
