North Carolina has a very serious problem with political corruption. The biggest single example of a blatant scam on our state's taxpayers is probably the private school voucher scheme. Once you find out how this system works, it'll blow your mind that this is legal. 🤯

Duke Energy is one of the biggest campaign contributors in the North Carolina state legislature (and it's the single biggest spender on lobbying). The corporation gives to both parties, but very unequally. Here's what their contributions have looked like over the last 25 years.

I don't care he got the ball. Nothing in the rules about getting the ball. He got the ball and then deliberately took the player out. That's a farce.

The world should not come here. There should not be a World Cup here.
I spoke out against the last World Cup because of concerns I had about human rights violations and it’s only right that I express the same concerns and condemnations now.

There are murder-squads executing people on the streets of America right now with the full support of the federal government.
How do we make it stop?
People are protesting in huge numbers and it’s not making an impact. I despair at what comes next when people finally reach a breaking point.

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

What they found was alarming: besides the 5 hospitals likely to close as a result of the bill's cuts to Medicaid, a whopping 54 other rural hospitals and clinics around North Carolina are likely to tip into severe financial distress.

No. The chief problem is, AI is literally A TOOL FOR UNLEARNING. The more you use it, the worse you get at whatever it is you’re using it for. It’s the opposite of educating, it’s uneducating. 2/2

So the Border Patrol announced that they arrested >250 people in their North Carolina invasion, but that only 44 had any criminal record at all.
Some of those "criminal" records include shoplifting and driving with an expired registration. Some were U.S. citizens.

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.
For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.
