The unreported stories we see all too often.
We know it happens in all elections, but rarely reported.
Volunteers see it first hand, time and again, often in the
most ugliest ways.
Its the assault some politically active citizens take on
against those in opposition.
Here in NC, in the past three weeks the attacks included
setting fire to a campaign office and vandalizing another,
both occurring at Republican facilities.
Even fist fights occur at rallies as those in opposition
to candidate show up and become belligerent!
This happens all across the country, and now with greater
frequency.
But, such behavor occurs on a "one way street", Democrats
doing the attacking, not allowing Republicans to peacefully
assemble in support of their candidate.
Yes, we do seem some Republicans show up and say things to
Democrat candidate, but that is America. Showing up and
starting fights is not!
Why do supporters of one party seek to harm supporters of
the opposition party?
The answer is simple, and has its roots in political discourse
between the two major parties!
In discussions on issues Republicans are more than equipped to
win the debate, which is why so often Democrats refuse to engage.
Note: Have you ever seen a fair debate on 'Climate Change'?
Even on the university campus the overwhelming majority of
professors who are liberal prefer to indoctrinate students
rather than educate, knowing when challenged they must resort
to bullying tactics, with threat of failing grades.
This is what take places when liberal/leftist/progressive ideas
cannot be convincingly sold!
Civil behavior is essential, or the process will be controlled
by the political establishment.
Its up to both Democrats and Republicans to respectfully engage,
make their points and appreciate opposing views.
Battle should be fought inside the voting booth, and no where else!

You'll never hear Hillary say anything like this!
Excerpts from Trump speech in Michigan....
To bring back your jobs, we must also immediately repeal and replace
Obamacare. It’s just been announced that Michigan residents are going
to experience crushing double-digit premium hikes.
In Minnesota, where the premium increase will be close to 60 percent,
the Democratic Governor has said “the Affordable Care Act is no longer
affordable.”
Hillary Clinton wants to double-down on Obamacare, making it even more
expensive – in fact, much more expensive. I’m asking for your vote so
we can replace Obamacare and save healthcare for every family in Michigan.
My Contract With The American Voter begins with a plan to restore honesty
and accountability to our government.
I want the entire corrupt Washington establishment to hear and to heed the
words we are all about to say. When we win on November 8th, We Are Going To Washington, D.C. And We Are Going To DRAIN THE SWAMP.
At the core of my contract is my plan to bring back your jobs.
Michigan has lost more than 1 in 4 manufacturing jobs since Bill Clinton
signed NAFTA, a deal strongly supported by Hillary Clinton.
Before NAFTA went into effect, there were 280,000 auto workers in
Michigan. Today, that number is only 160,000. Our country has lost
70,000 factories since China entered the World Trade Organization –
another Bill and Hillary backed deal.
We have nearly an $800 billion annual trade deficit with the world.
We are living through the greatest jobs theft in the history of the
world. Our trade deficit with China grew almost 40 percent during
Hillary’s tenure as Secretary of State. Her trade deal with South Korea
killed 100,000 American jobs.
So when you look around Michigan, and you see the rusted-out factories,
the empty buildings, and the long unemployment lines, remember: Hillary
Clinton did much of this to you.
Hillary got rich selling your jobs – the same special interests who pushed
the jobs out of America are the people who’ve given countless millions to
the Clintons. Hillary gets rich making America poor.
Just look at the devastation. Delphi laid off 3,627 workers here in Michigan.
Most of those jobs went to Mexico. We are going to fight for the workers at Delphi. They got a raw deal, and they deserve better.
– GM laid off 314 workers at the Lake Orion Assembly Plant in 2013 because of imports from the South Korean trade deal pushed through by Hillary.
– Lear Corporation laid off another 50 people in Rochester Hills and moved
their jobs to South Korea.
– FTE Automotive laid off 166 people in Auburn Hills. Their jobs went to
Mexico. – Chrysler laid off over 5,300 workers. Those jobs went to Mexico,
China, India and other countries.
– Ford laid off 2,155 workers. Those jobs went to other countries.
Now, Ford is moving all if its small car production to Mexico.
A Trump Administration will stop the flight of American jobs.
If Ford, or another company, announces they want to move their jobs to
Mexico or another country, then I will pick up the phone – I will call
the executives – and I will tell them that if they want do that, we will
charge a 35% tax when they try to ship their products back across the border.
It used to be the cars were made in Flint and you couldn’t drink the water
in Mexico. Now, the cars are made in Mexico and you can’t drink the water in
Flint. We are going to turn it all around. We are going to rebuild Flint.
We are going to rebuild Detroit. And we are going to rebuild Michigan.
I’d like to share a special message today with the African-American
community in Michigan which has been so terribly harmed by the policies
of the Clintons.
Look at the City of Detroit. It used to be the manufacturing hub of the world – now, nearly half of Detroit residents do not work, it has the second-highest violent crime rate in the country, and the children are trapped in failing government schools.
Yet, as the people of Detroit suffer, Hillary wants to spend trillions of
dollars on government benefits for illegal immigrants and refugees.
I’ve outlined a plan for urban renewal, it’s called A New Deal For Black
America. That deal includes a plan to use the money we will save by securing
our border, and curbing refugee admissions, to invest in communities like
Flint and Detroit. It includes school choice for African-American children.
My plan also includes a promise to cancel billions in climate change spending
for the United Nations – and instead use that money to provide for American infrastructure, including clean water in cities like Flint.
My plan also includes a pledge to reduce violent crime – every child in this
nation has a right to grow up in safety and peace. And my plan includes a
pledge to restore manufacturing in the United States.
Hillary and the Democratic Party have run the inner cities for years, and
only produced more poverty. The time has come for real change – I’m asking
you for the honor of your vote so that together we can turn decades of
political failure into generations of lasting success.
Hillary, on the other hand, wants to destroy what’s left of manufacturing
in Michigan with the Trans-Pacific Partnership. A Trump Administration
will stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
We will renegotiate NAFTA, if we don’t get the deal we want, we will
terminate NAFTA and get a much better deal. We are going to lower
taxes on American business from 35 percent to 15 percent. We are going
to massively cut taxes for the Middle Class.
We will unleash American energy – including shale, oil, natural gas and clean
coal. The Obama-Clinton war on coal is going to cost this state 50,000 jobs.
We will also work to restore and protect the Great Lakes. We are going to
become a rich country again. But to be a rich country, we must also be a
safe country.
When I become President, we will end illegal immigration, deport all
criminal aliens, and put American Workers First.
We will also repeal the Obama-Clinton defense sequester and rebuild our
badly depleted military.
We also need a new foreign policy that puts America First.
Just think about what we can accomplish in the first 100 days –
We are going to have the biggest tax cut since Ronald Reagan; eliminate
every unnecessary job-killing regulation; cancel every illegal Obama
executive order; rebuild our military and take care of our Vets; support
the men and women of law enforcement; save the 2nd amendment; and
appoint Justices to the Supreme Court who will uphold and defend the
Constitution of the United States.
I am asking you to dream big, to push for bold change, and to believe in
a movement powered by the people and by their love for this country.
All we have to do is stop believing in our failed politicians and start
believing in each other and in our country.
There is no challenge too great, no dream outside of our reach. Don’t let
anyone tell you it can’t be done — the future lies with the dreamers, not
the cynics and the critics.
Our movement represents all Americans, from all backgrounds, and all
walks of life. We are asking for the votes of Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and first-time voters.
We are asking for the vote of every American who believes truth and justice –
not money and power – should rule the day.
We are fighting for every citizen who believes that government should serve
the people – not the donors and special interests.
We are fighting to unlock the potential of every American community, and every American family, who hope and pray and yearn for a better future.
With your vote, we are just 8 days away from the change you’ve been waiting
for your entire life.
A Trump Administration will also secure and defend the borders of the United States. And yes, we will build a wall.
We’ve received the first-ever endorsement from our ICE and Border Patrol
officers. They tell us the border crisis is the worst it’s ever been – it’s
a national emergency. They also warn America that Hillary’s plan is the “the
most radical proposal in U.S. history.”
FINALLY, a reminder of why Hillary should NOT be elected!
Real change also means restoring honesty to our government.
As you know, the FBI has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton
and discovered another 650,000 emails. Hillary lied under oath when she
said she turned over all of her work-related emails – just one more lie
out of so many.
This is the biggest scandal since Watergate. Hillary wants to blame everyone
else for her mounting legal troubles, but she has brought this all onto herself.
Hillary is the one who set-up an illegal private email server in a closet to
shield her criminal activity.
Hillary is the one who engaged in a corrupt Pay-For-Play scheme at the State
Dept – and now there are 5 FBI probes into the Clinton Foundation and their pay-for-play activities.
Hillary is the one who sent and received classified information on an insecure server, putting the safety of the American people under threat.
Hillary is the one who lied to Congress under oath.
Hillary is the one who lied to the FBI. Hillary is the one who made 13 phones disappear.
Hillary is the one who destroyed 33,000 emails.
Hillary is the one who broke the law over and over and over again. We can be
sure that what is in those emails is absolutely devastating.
Hillary is not the victim – the American people are the victims of this corrupt system in every way, and this is your one chance to change it.
Hillary is likely to be under investigation for a very long time.
One of her longtime supporters, a top Democratic Pollster, Doug Schoen,
is now totally withdrawing his support. He wrote an article entitled
“I’m a Democrat, I worked for Bill Clinton, but I can’t vote for Hillary.”
Schoen writes: “I am convinced that we will be facing the very real
possibility of a constitutional crisis with many dimensions and
deleterious consequences should Secretary Clinton win the election.”
Schoen warns that if Hillary is elected, she would be under protracted
criminal investigation – and probably a trial of a sitting President.
She is unfit and unqualified to be President, and her election would mire
our government and our country in a constitutional crisis we cannot afford.
We need to be going to work for the American people – we can’t do that with
Hillary in the White House trying to avoid prosecution.
Hillary Clinton’s corruption is a threat to Democracy, and the only way to
save our Democracy is get out and vote by the millions.
The Clinton crime spree ends on November 8th. And when we close the chapter
on the Clintons, we open a bright new chapter focused on the American People.
Together, We Will Make America Wealthy Again.
We Will Make America Strong Again.
We Will Make America Safe Again.
And We Will Make America Great Again.

America is tired of waiting. The moment is now.I’m tired of politicians telling Americans to defer their dreams to another day – when they really mean another decade.
All we have to do is stop believing in our failed politicians and start

No "horsing around" in North Carolina...
Well, the 'sky is falling crowd' should chew on this:
World Equestrian Games could be North Carolina's biggest sports event!
The 2018 World Equestrian Games will be held at the Tryon International
Equestrian Center in Mill Spring, about 80 miles west of Charlotte.
This news will be a tremendous shot in the arm for NC after seven months
of seeing high profile events withdraw from coming to NC such as the NBA
All-Star Game.
The equestrian games could provide an economic impact of more than
$400 million, four times the impact of the All-Star weekend! The event
will also draw more than 500,000 spectators from 72 different countries!
The games, held every four years, will require 60,000 room nights at hotels throughout the region, from Asheville to Charlotte to Spartanburg, S.C.
To help prepare for that ahead of the games, the hotel management company Salamander will be building a resort and spa at Tryon International.
Mark Bellissimo, CEO of the equestrian center, said the project requires
only a small amount of public financing, including marketing and security.
He anticipates his group’s budget will be between $50-$60 million.
The state has been hammered for passing House Bill 2 that restricts
access to restrooms and other single gender facilities. What was an
issue of common sense and modesty was twisted to be a "civil right"!
Reports this bill would cripple the NC economy have made national news
and the state the butt of late night jokes!
But, it is serious when you must seek a balance between accommodation
and respect for those who would be uncomfortable.
Maybe this is a first step to show all North Carolinians can get along!

Is Media Bias even worth discussing?
It will be very difficult to find a journalist who will
admit he is biases or there is bias in his industry. So
its a waste of time to chide the media when displeased
with reporting.
Bias does exist, but like beauty, "its in the eyes of the
beholder". So, what can we do to combat it?
One thing, educate ourselves with the riches of information
all around that earlier generation never had.
Bias or not, truth can be found, maybe its scattered, like
pieces to a puzzle, but its there and provides a trail to
completeness that counter any deliberate omissions.
We know what media bias is. Its what is omitted
that we want to hear, or what is reported that
differs from from is elusive. It is easily seen if you're
displeased with what is and "not" reported.

Are there any principled Democrats left?
We have seen the split among Republicans over Donald Trump's
candidacy based on honest disagreements.
However, similar refusal to support Hillary Clinton can not be seen
among elected Democrats, as not one has publicly stated they will
not support her candidacy no matter concerns of trustworthiness,
honesty, behavior or lack of meaningful accomplishments.
Such allegiance may be commendable, but is troubling, it is the same
'cancer' which brought down President Nixon.
Revelations about Hillary Clinton's actions have cost the FBI more
than three years investigating and a divide within the Justice Dept.
where the Attorney General placed barriers to impede the FBI from
doing its job!
This is not the way American governance should work, but seems to be
acceptable in the Justice Dept, with a wink and nod from the president!
How can public servants march in lock step with Hillary Clinton, putting
their own reputations on the line solely to see her elected president?
There are so many more accomplished Democrats who would be better
suited to be the party's nominee. If the appetite is for a woman, dozens
could have run, but "were advised" not to!
With Hillary in the contest, there would be no contest!
Yes, there was a Democrat primary. And, if you can keep from laughing
you might try to convince others it was a competitive contest, until
the facts proved otherwise. The fix was in as evidenced by the actions
of the party's chair who was forced to step down.
Clinton would "win" the nomination, without a serious challenge, even
as Bernie Sanders, who campaigned as a socialist, threatened her.
Is this how a political party selects its nominee? When the desired
nominee is Hillary, is there any other way?
I still can't understand why principled Democrats believe Hillary Clinton
is deserving of the highest office in the land.
For those who say "Hillary is better than Trump", that is a convenient
excuse, not a coherent reason. Party loyalists would never walk away
from Hillary no matter who the Republican candidate is.
It is not a mystery what is occurring in the Democrat Party. The 'soul'
has been so corrupted, as not one Democrat was principled enough to
say they could not support, endorse or work to defeat her.
I wonder if these party loyalists see the lesson they are teaching their
children, "What is really important, isn't important at all".

candidacy based on honest disagreements.
However, similar refusal to support Hillary Clinton can not be seen
among elected Democrats, as not one has publicly stated they will
not support her candidacy no matter concerns of trustworthiness,
honesty, behavior or lack of meaningful accomplishments.
Such allegiance may be commendable, but is troubling, it is the same
'cancer' which brought down President Nixon.
Revelations about Hillary Clinton's actions have cost the FBI more
than three years investigating and a divide within the Justice Dept.
where the Attorney General placed barriers to impede the FBI from
doing its job!
This is not the way American governance should work, but seems to be
acceptable in the Justice Dept, with a wink and nod from the president!
How can public servants march in lock step with Hillary Clinton, putting
their own reputations on the line solely to see her elected president?
There are so many more accomplished Democrats who would be better
suited to be the party's nominee. If the appetite is for a woman, dozens
could have run, but "were advised" not to!
With Hillary in the contest, there would be no contest!
Yes, there was a Democrat primary. And, if you can keep from laughing
you might try to convince others it was a competitive contest, until
the facts proved otherwise. The fix was in as evidenced by the actions
of the party's chair who was forced to step down.
Clinton would "win" the nomination, without a serious challenge, even
as Bernie Sanders, who campaigned as a socialist, threatened her.
Is this how a political party selects its nominee? When the desired
nominee is Hillary, is there any other way?
I still can't understand why principled Democrats believe Hillary Clinton
is deserving of the highest office in the land.
For those who say "Hillary is better than Trump", that is a convenient
excuse, not a coherent reason. Party loyalists would never walk away
from Hillary no matter who the Republican candidate is.

What we can learn from George Will
I have followed George Will for many years, enjoying his
thoughtful commentaries on the state of our nation.
Today, I was disappointed to read Will veered into a
territory reserved for Democrats, the suckling of
constituencies to gain favor, at the expense of the
principled governance the Republican Part should
stand for.
He recently commented about the relationship between
the Republican Party and minority groups, coming at a
time Donald Trump, its nominee, could become our next
president.
Will believes "President Trump" would not be good for
the health of the Republican Party and future of
conservatism, a view shared by many in the circle will
travels.
Apparently, increasing Republican registration and setting
primary voting records mean nothing to Will and others who
still attack Trump less than a week before election day.
No such problem for Hillary Clinton among Will's media
polar opposites!
Will goes on to say the Republican Party must do several
things, beginning with "emancipating itself from its bondage"
to the talk radio industry and certain cable personalities
that he says have a paralyzing effect on the party when
it attempts to deal with things like immigration.
Its interesting Will chose immigration. Talk radio is
equally vocal against budget deficits and federal
overreach, which I am sure would get his approval!
While Will is concerned views about immigration over the
airwaves weakens the Republican Party he does not seem
troubled about influence peddling lobbyists who have direct
access to the party, elected officials, and agencies corroding
representative governance, all which Trump has campaigned
against as no Republican I can remember!
If not for 'talk radio' the only news the public would hear
is what the Democrat Party wants reported in the fertile
ground of progressive media.
Perhaps George Will has forgotten talk radio is the only
place he and other conservatives are taken seriously. He
may be invited on mainstream media, but his appearances
are to showcase him and conservatism as mainstream
oddities, for entertainment value, not thoughtful opinions.
If not for talk radio the public would be in the dark, which
we have seen during this campaign and exactly what most in
Washington prefer.
Will goes on to say "until the Republican Party gets right
with minorities in this country, it's never gonna win
another presidential election."
As expected when such pontificating is offered, suggestions
are rarely introduced. How can Republicans "get right"?
What should the Republican do? Ignore existing laws to win
immigration battle, be quiet about late term abortion to
win the women's vote, accept gay marriage and men using
women's restrooms to reach out to LGBT voters?
If this is what George Will desires, then HE is in the wrong
party, not Donald Trump!
