REMINDER: Duke Energy "loaned" 8 million to the Democrats for their Democratic National Convention in Charlotte in 2012. Then they forgave the loan when the DNC had no money to pay it back. #NCsen #NCpol
Something’s wrong when people set their thermostat temperature higher in the summer to conserve energy and still get hit with higher energy bills. I’m glad to stand alongside North Carolinians who oppose Duke Energy’s rate hikes. Brunswick County, thanks for coming out yesterday!

When you see with your own eyes the naked, bold lies the Left tells about Michael Brown, Karmelo Anthony, George Floyd, et al, it makes you wonder how little of what is said about lynchings in the South and every other racially charged event is true.

Marc Andreessen just explained how the United States assassinated its own future. In the 1970s, the Nixon administration launched something called Project Independence. The mandate was absolute. Andreessen: “Build a thousand new civilian nuclear power plants in the US by the year 2000.” One thousand reactors. Unlimited, carbon-free baseload power. Enough electricity to move the entire country to electric vehicles four decades ahead of everyone else. But it went further than energy. Andreessen: “It’s called Project Independence because it means the US won’t have to be involved in the Middle East anymore, because we won’t need the oil.” No oil dependence. No Gulf Wars. No generations of soldiers stationed in deserts protecting supply chains that never needed to exist. A complete strategic withdrawal from the Middle East. Permanent. And none of this was hypothetical. Andreessen: “France ran for a long time almost entirely on nuclear power. Japan ran for a long time almost entirely on nuclear power.” Other nations proved it worked at scale. America had more capital, more engineers, and more ambition than all of them. Andreessen: “How many nuclear power plants were built out of the thousand? Rounds to zero.” Zero. Not because the physics failed. Not because something superior replaced it. Because the same administration that drafted the blueprint for unlimited energy also created the institution that killed it. Andreessen: “They never got built because the Nixon administration also created the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which made it its purpose in life is to stop nuclear power plants from getting built.” Same government. Same decade. Same pen. One directive launching the most ambitious energy program in American history. Another creating the bureaucracy that would quietly dismantle it from the inside. Andreessen: “The Nuclear Regulatory Commission did not approve a new nuclear plant design for 40 years.” Forty years of zero approved designs. Not because no one submitted them. Because the institution built to regulate nuclear energy became the institution built to prevent it. That’s not oversight. That’s abolition dressed as due diligence. We spent the next fifty years fighting wars in the desert for a resource we never needed. Choked the atmosphere with carbon we didn’t have to burn. Terrified an entire generation with the illusion of scarcity. And the entire time, the physics already worked. The government didn’t fail to navigate the energy crisis. They took the densest source of energy in the universe and drowned it in paperwork. Every war fought for oil. Every carbon debate. Every geopolitical crisis of the last half century. All of it was a policy choice. We didn’t lack the technology to power the future. We let a committee outlaw the math.

NO white person alive today owned slaves. Teach your kids that. NO black person alive today was born a slave. Teach your kids that. Not all white people owned slaves back then. Teach your kids that. Millions of white people fought and died to end slavery. Teach your kids that. People should not inherit guilt from their ancestors. Teach your kids that. People should not inherit victimhood from their ancestors. Teach your kids that. You are responsible for your own actions, not the actions of people who lived 200 years ago. Teach your kids that. America is not perfect, but it is not uniquely evil. Teach your kids that. The West is responsible for some of humanity's greatest advances in freedom, science, medicine, and prosperity. Teach your kids that. Loving your country is not racism. Teach your kids that. Wanting secure borders is not racism. Teach your kids that. Wanting safe communities is not racism. Teach your kids that. Wanting merit over quotas is not racism. Teach your kids that. Questioning political narratives is not racism. Teach your kids that. People should be judged by their character, not their skin color. Teach your kids that. History should be taught honestly, not used as a weapon. Teach your kids that. A nation that teaches its children to hate their heritage will not survive. Teach your kids that. Your country is your home. Protecting it is not something to be ashamed of. Teach your kids that. You do not owe an apology for being born. Teach your kids that. Never let fear of being called names stop you from speaking the truth as you see it. Teach your kids that.

The same Congressional Black Caucus that refuses to admit Byron Donalds, Wesley Hunt, John James, and Burgess Owens because they don’t consider them Black since they’re Republicans. Good. It’s a total joke. It can’t go away soon enough.

Almost a third of the membership of the Congressional Black Caucus are at risk of losing their seats through the 2028 election cycle as Republicans in southern states where they control the legislature move swiftly to redraw congressional maps. abcnews.link/8u8DAIi

The mayor of Charlotte, NC asks that we not post about this lady murdered on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests! I say in Iryna’s memory please share and make this go viral! A repeat offender with 14 prior arrests should not be roaming the streets of ANY city! They should be locked up!! Epic failure in the justice system!

There's a clay tablet with the founding charter of a 12-partner company on it. Twelve merchants pooled 33 pounds of gold to start the firm. The contract has the partner names, the starting capital, the profit split, and the penalty for cashing out early. The tablet is nearly 4,000 years old. It was found at a site called Kanesh, in central Turkey. Archaeologists have dug up 23,500 of these clay records there, most of them business documents: receipts, loan contracts, shipping orders, lawsuits. The houses they were stored in eventually burned. The fire baked the clay solid and preserved every record. The merchants came from Assur, in modern-day Iraq. They loaded donkeys with tin and cloth and walked them 1,000 kilometers across mountain passes to Kanesh, roughly the distance from New York to Atlanta. Each donkey carried about 180 pounds and the trip took two to three months. They came home with silver and gold. The company ran for twelve years under a merchant named Amur Ishtar. A third of the profits went back to the investors. Pull your share out early and the firm gave you four kilos of silver per kilo of gold, half the normal rate. Locked-up money was meant to stay locked up. That one company was just a tiny piece. The tablets show a complete economy with partners suing each other in commercial court, husbands writing home about prices, and wives writing back complaining the husband had been gone too long. A woman named Ahatum quietly lent silver to four different men over nine years. People bought up other people's loan documents and used them as collateral for new loans, the same thing Wall Street does today with mortgage-backed securities. One merchant got caught smuggling tin in his underwear to dodge a 10% import tax. In 2019, four economists from Harvard, Sciences Po, Chicago, and Virginia ran the tablet numbers through a gravity model, the math economists use today to predict how much two countries will trade based on size and distance. The Bronze Age numbers matched modern trade numbers almost exactly. Trade fell off with distance at nearly the same rate it does between countries today. The paper ran in the Quarterly Journal of Economics. There was no economic theory yet. The idea didn't even have a name. The word "capitalism" wouldn't be coined for another 3,800 years, and Adam Smith was 3,700 years away from writing a sentence about markets. Just a guy named Pushu-ken writing a clay tablet to his business partner about a shipment of cloth, and a woman in Assur recording who owed her how much silver. Capitalism was already there, doing its full job, almost four thousand years before anyone wrote down a theory of how it worked.
Niemand hat den "Kapitalismus" erfunden. Kapitalismus ist das, was freie Menschen von Natur aus tun - Waren und Dienstleistungen zu ihrem eigenen Vorteil tauschen.

Democrats cheat...a lot. The US Census openly admits it stole 7 US House seats from Republicans. And when Democrats lose, despite cheating, they quintuple down and try to cheat even harder!
“We keep losing, so we’ll just expand the Supreme Court and pack it with left-wingers to get what we want!” There is no reality where a GOP state or president obeys any order from such an illegitimate court. Dems should think hard about whether they want to go down that road.

There was a massive DOJ study done decades ago that among people in Federal custody, the single trait career criminals had most in common was that they had all gotten caught as a teenager and the case resolved in a way that left them feeling like they 'got away with it.' More in common than race, than marital status of parents, than bullying, than presence of a father. It was *the* issue.

Just stop, we all know your scam. >Democrats raise taxes. >Money flows to NGOs packed with Democratic operatives. >Those operatives take their cut, write a check to Democratic campaigns > Report back that the problem still exists and needs more funding. If you fix the problem... the money stops. So nothing ever gets fixed. The money vanishes into a network of nonprofits and nobody goes to jail and nobody loses their job and then freaking YOU go on X and point at billionaires. You doesn't want to fix anything. Fixed problems don't generate donations or fund your life... If you wanted to fix the problem you'd care about the fraud, BUT YOU DO NOT. That's how I know you're lying.
