NC Sea Rise Doom: A Lesson In A Warmist Narrative

Raleigh N&O Endorses Kay Hagan Because…..She’s Not Thom Tillis

Other than being a Democrat and not Thom Tillis, the Raleigh N&O editorial board has a tough time providing a reason to vote for her. I’m going to blow by the “outside money” bit, which I somewhat agree with, when it comes to money from outside NC, and they do not mention the huge amounts […]

Elijah Cummings Is The Dems Benghazi Warrior Or Something

It’s actually rare that an article really ticks me off: I expect bad behavior and moonbattery from Progressives. This, though, is disgusting Democrats’ Benghazi warrior He’s the man who helped bring you Sandra Fluke. Rep. Elijah Cummings is the Democrats’ top guy on the new Benghazi select committee, but fighting Republican-driven scandals is old hat […]
