Rumor mill has it Frank Williams is feeling like now is the time to challenge Rep. Frank Iller for his seat. It took me about an hour to stop laughing. How stupid is Wil.….nevermind, we know the answer to that. As I noted, he wants to be in Raleigh BAAAAAD.
If this is true, it will be a devastating defeat for Williams, who should finally be halted in his drunken pursuit of power…as opposed to mere drunken pursuits. Have another drink Williams, I am sure your path to victory all become more clear after one more round!
Just an aside, assuming Iler runs again for his seat, this race is over. IF Iler opts not to run, then Williams has a shot, unless….there is a conservative challenger to Williams in the primary. And, let me just say, there really does need to be a conservative challenger to Williams who…goes to the mattresses in the campaign against him. Do not let Williams off the mat and go hard after him. Williams is a weak candidate if one would but, ahem, dig.
But there is another consideration, and that is that Iler promised Williams first notice that he was retiring, to give Williams a head start on the seat. One might call it intra party deference. This may be the case, and so should go to the calculus. If Williams is gearing up for a run, Iler may have already told Williams, and so, a real conservative candidate for Iler’s seat is already behind the curve.
Rumor also has it Felony Forte will not be rerunning. Please let it be. Aside from many of the poor side of decisions he happens to have been on, a gaudy dresser is reason enough to send him to remedial school on how men should dress. But it was his pro-tax, anti ETJ repeal, that earns him our ire here. Oh, I am sure there’s more and so, more on that to come.
Why does NC media suck so bad? Well, because, Democrats. It would be simple to say they are stupid, but sometimes the simple explanation is the more correct one.
So comes Rectum Spectrum news saying there is a new fresh take on NC politics called The Assembly…😂😂😂😂🖕
All one has to do is check out their website, and you will see it is a typical leftist crap webzine run by people connected to the state Democrat party, so, yawn. Just look at their lineup—talk about NPCs R US!
Yeah, ok. If I want to Read what’s in the Assembly, I will just pick up the Red Star. Same party; same comrades. Same bullshit.
The Assembly is a magazine that takes all the exhausted liberalism that Burnham noted was exhausted, and tries to wrap it in an alt tech format. Memo to the NPCs there, that will not work. Enjoy your going out of business sale.
Their stories are all typical failed liberal pap—teacher quits job and it is the fault of…Republicans of course. She did not like the school board and the state setting the curriculum and what kids learn. 61% of the state budget goes to education, and it is time to decrease their pay, and end their monopoly. Seriously. They are not worth the cost, and people who leave public education for an alternative turn out to be more educated people.
I can hear Democrat Demagogue say now: “You mean, Savage, you want to defund education?” Yes, slave owner, I do. Next question.
The education interest in this state is nothing but a Democrat front organization. It is not about education. Thankfully, more people in the state are not letting their schooling get in the way of their real education. Bravo to you smart souls!
But what caught my eye this week was a story hit job on the Rhinoceros Times. I will not link to the story because, 🖕 assembly mag, but read it free here.
If you were not here in the 90s, and many of you were not, the Rhino Times was a uproarious paper in Greensboro. It was so excellent that one could have parties every two weeks when they published and simply talk about all the excellence in the paper that issue. Kegs and the Rhino Times events…BASED. Of course, the Assembly wants to recount all the Democrat grievances about the RT because…can you guess?….because the RT was EFFECTIVE.
Know what leftists hate? Truth. Yes. But also they really hate it when others win. They want to be the masters of the NC plantation, and they hate individuals with a free mind questioning them.
The RT was all about individuals and, of course, unlike the Democrat Party, was anti-slavery. Now we can’t have that in the modern age can we? People thinking they should be free? Horrors!
So, the Assembly (that’s it they are now just the ASS) of course cannot let this go, and so, like the News and Observer, has to write like…the News and Observer. So fresh!
Wanna know what WAS fresh? Carolina Plott Hound….but now that is gone too. Whoever made that dumb decision to take a successful webzine and turn it into what it is now, was a moron…yes, a complete moron. Oh the Hound website is still there, but, it is not the real Plott Hound—it is but a shell of itself.
What happened? A couple of smart and excellent people started the Hound, and then sold it to an entity that had more resources so as to expand their reach. But then the entity that bought it, did nothing really with it. Dumb! Eventually they sold it to the North State Journal—another right wing paper with great potential that went nowhere. And so, it sits like a forgotten website doing nothing original.
Seriously, can we just kidnap Jerry Agar from Canada and bring back greatness to NC radio? It would be nice.
Sadly, those days are gone, and we have no center-right media outlet in the state doing anything worth a damn.
As it pertains to the RT paper, the ASS is all orgasmic that it will be moderating itself—that means being less bitchy to deserved Democrats and left wing politics. RIP RT.
The end of an era, and the last conservative paper in NC to go under.
