Cooper's Infant Born Alive Veto: Putting It in Context
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper-- a liberal mainline Presbyterian-- vetoed last week the bill passed by General Assembly Republicans to protect infants born alive during botched elective abortion procedures. Cooper claimed that current law protects the newborn infant. The media/left complex has raised questions as to whether this scenario has... Continue reading

School Bond Issue Coming for Guilford County Taxpayers?
Ten years ago, the democratic socialists then in control of the Guilford Board of County Commissioners, as well as Republican commissioners Linda Shaw and Billy Yow, passed a massive school bond issue. They did this even though a recession was brewing. It has taken the passage of a decade, and... Continue reading

Notre Dame and its Charred Remains
Tom Piatak, Chronicles: In the last few days, the world has been considering what it would mean to lose one of the masterpieces of medieval Christendom for all time. There is widespread agreement that such a loss would be profound. And there is reason to hope that the near loss... Continue reading

Fred, I hope they show some integrity, and put a stop to this.

How Will County Commissioners Respond to Yvonne Johnson's Ongoing Conflicts of Interest?
Skip Alston's Cure Violence proposal is getting aired for possible funding within Greensboro city and Guilford county government. Recall that this is a Chicago program ostensibly intended to reduce inner city violence. This is properly a city initiative, because that is where the problem is. Bu...

Good question, Fred, and I don't know. Given the compressed, ad hoc scheduling of this primary/election, I don't know to what extent this information is available. I also don't know if he was able to use his NC House campaign funds to run for Congress in the primary election.

NC-03 GOP Congressional Primary
The field in the GOP primary for the 3rd Congressional District is ridiculously large. Seventeen candidates are running. This is a bit reminiscent of the primary for the seat that Ted Budd now fills in the Triad. Budd faced a very large number of opponents during the primary. That worked out fa...

It is downright foolish, Fred, on many levels. I am a bit disappointed in my fellow physicians who have gotten themselves into these arrangements. And the fact that the classes medical schools are pumping out are now 50 percent female, along with the usual affirmative action cases, suggests this pattern is going to continue to a large extent, although we are already seeing some corrections. But the political class-- Republican and Democrat-- ought to be ashamed of itself. McCrory needs to go away.

McCrory's "Consolidation" and the Effect on Health Care Costs
Former establishment GOP Governor Pat McCrory often spoke about how we very much needed more consolidation in the health care industry. This means a smaller number of entities would be competing with each other; and these entities would necessarily be larger than what we had seen in the past. We...

Good article over at the Rhino website about the situation, Fred. Apparently it is a conflict of interest except when it is not: http://www.rhinotimes.com/featured-article/cure-violence-conflict-or-no-conflict/

Good News on State Health Plan?
The awful GOP majority in the North Carolina House passed its effective repeal of State Treasurer Dale Folwell's changes to the State Health Plan earlier this week. This was a massive poke in the eye of the taxpayer. The recorded vote is found here. The House GOP leadership forced a... Continue reading

NC GOP Indictments a Consequence of Being Unprincipled
The news today was jarring. Whereas yesterday GOP state chairman Robin Hayes was announcing he was not running for re-election this year because of health issues, today it was announced his indictment by the feds. An indictment does not prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. But this is a stunning fall.... Continue reading

Local GOP U.S. District Court Judge Invalidates NC Pro-Life Law
The North Carolina General Assembly had passed a ban on abortions performed after the 20th week of pregnancy. The news yesterday was that U.S. District Court Judge William Osteen invalidated this law, ruling that it violates the pregnant mother's constitutional right to abortion after 20 weeks.

NC House GOP Shafts Taxpayers
The latest act in a longstanding drama took place today. NC State Treasurer Dale Folwell, in yeoman fashion, has been fighting for the taxpayers with his proposal to adopt a new reimbursement strategy for the State Health Plan. But special interests-- especially the state's hospital systems-- rebelled against these changes.... Continue reading

Socialists: A Turd By Any Other Name...
Some media/left folks who reside firmly within the democratic socialist coalition are beginning to get worried that their party is becoming more openly identified with socialism. For many years, the party's advocacy of socialism had been effectively veiled. Large segments of the public had not truly understood the extent to... Continue reading
