they also just passed a law disbanding bi-partisan library committees and have turned over libraries to the ruling political party.

if only Arizona and New Mexico would do the same thing as Abbot
Biden would be forced to cave and get serious about border security and obeying the nations immigration laws.
What? Block commerce? Brilliant! God you get dumber as you age.

I'd say the Mapplethorpe would be once every 40 years, quickly corrected by the outraged voters at the next election and then back to status quo on the Bluegraiss for another 40...

It's so easy to imagine a Boo Radley in every Kentucky town and village and holler. It's not difficult to imagine Boo as the norm in many of them...

This state has many issues, but we are far from being a pariah like Kentucky. We have our share of backwards politicians, assholes, ignorance and rural poverty, but we also have world class universities, world class hospitals, the RTP which has the highest concentration of PhD’s in the eastern US and scores of cutting edge tech development, research and manufacturing in NC. For every Jesse Helms, there is a Terry Sanford or Jim Hunt in NC.
You have coal, horses, liquor and basketball fans who long for Jim Crow and a man named Adolph.
So, act like a peacock — like the one from St Peter’s — and strut your ass on out that door and stfu.

Kentucky never joined the Confederate States of America. Can't say that about North Carolina now can we?

The Biden administration said it will resume selling leases to drill for oil and gas on federal lands starting next week, but with a major reduction in the number of acres offered and an increase in the royalties companies must pay to drill.
The Interior Department announced that on Monday it will release a sale notice for leases to drill on 144,000 acres of government land — 80 percent less than what was initially being evaluated for potential leasing.
President Joe Biden, who on the campaign trail called for an end to drilling on federal lands, has been looking for ways to temporarily increase U.S. energy production to help drive down the price of gas. His administration has been under growing pressure to do more to lower gas prices, with Republicans in particular saying it should allow more drilling.
