Kamala Harris could have done one thing better Tuesday night. Otherwise, it was a master class in debate prep and performance. She seemed nervous answering the first question: “When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?” She began, “So, I was raised as a…
The split screens said it all, even when the mics were muted. Trump was angry, unhinged and afraid to look Kamala Harris in the eye. Harris was in command all night. It was the most dominating performance in the history of presidential debates since JFK won the very first one in 1960. It was the…
Spotting a dead whale lying on the beach in Hyannis Port, eccentric, he ran to get his chainsaw, sawed off the whale’s head, tied the head to the roof of his car, drove five hours back to his home in New York. Another time, driving thru upstate New York, spotting a dead bear cub lying…
Cocaine kingpin Jaime Davidson handed ‘Bam Bam’ Lawrence a .357 Magnum pistol, told him to go rob a rival; Bam Bam shot an undercover policeman – investigating drug kingpins – in the head during the robbery, killed him. Jaime Davidson got life in prison – for providing the pistol, ordering the robbery. While Trump was…
On stage at his rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, angry, lips set, tearing into Kamala Harris, J. D. Vance snapped, ‘She can go to hell.’ Meantime, over on Truth Social, Trump retweeted a meme showing Harris standing beside Hillary Clinton, above the line ‘Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently.’ Most of us remember the…

Sitting in a crowded restaurant listening to two friends – one calling Kamala Harris a ‘ninny,’ the other calling Trump a ‘blowhard’ – it struck me: We’ve got a rare election on our hands – issues hardly matter. What matters? Character. Words like: Ninny. Blowhard. Braggart. Fool. These days voters march in tribes: Republicans vote…
After Mark Robinson announced for governor, he led Josh Stein in polls. Then Stein pulled even. Then Robinson trailed by five. In a poll last week Robinson trailed by fourteen. Some folks say the problem’s Robinson’s stand on abortion. And, yes, that could hurt him. But when Congressman George Holding got attacked by Democrats for…
You don’t see many people like James Lankford – getting along with both sides in a divided world he tells people ‘Your faith should affect everything you do. It’s how I treat my wife. It’s how I treat strangers. Every person’s created in the image of God. They have value and worth. As I joke…
How do you get your news? Our statewide poll asked North Carolina voters what their primary…
Thom Tillis and Phil Berger fed the MAGA alligator. Then it ate them. Thomas Mills wrote…
Exactly 80 years ago, in 1946, Republicans took control of Congress with a simple message: “Had…
