In a recent report from the Lumberton NC paper The Robesonian (“McCrory: Former teacher inspired pat proposal”), Sarah Willets quoted Gov. McCrory as being inspired by a former teacher to suggest a pay hike for teachers in this election year.

Mi Casa Will Sue Su Casa!
“Sue you. Sue Me.” – almost a Lionel Ritchie song “Mi casa will sue su casa.” – Gov. Pat McCrory. Actually he didn’t say that, but it’s what he kind of he said. In a move that only NC’s GOP powers could play in this chess game of legality, the state is taking the feds … Continue reading Mi Casa Will Sue Su Casa!

Governor McCrory, You are No “Eisenhower Republican”
Dear Governor, I have heard many national GOP candidates make mention of their affinity for President Reagan when addressing audiences. Simply channeling “The Gipper” has become almost a necessity to make a good impression especially on those who remember the two-term president from California. His calm voice, his presence, his speech on the Berlin Wall, … Continue reading Governor McCrory, You are No “Eisenhower Republican”

Lucifer in the Flesh / “I’m Sorry” – What Ted Cruz sent a friend of mine.
With the premature selection of Carly Fiorina as a VP candidate and a ploy with Kasich to keep Trump from the nomination, Ted Cruz is banking a lot on Indiana. And the more that he maneuvers to try and pin Hoosier delegates, the more futile it seems, especially when he sends out emails like the … Continue reading Lucifer in the Flesh / “I’m Sorry” – What Ted Cruz sent a friend of mine.
