Friend --

Whooooo boy. So much for a quiet week after the two victories on September 10th. Another Democrat debate that saw Beto O'Rourke state, "Hell yes we're gonna take your AR-15 <[link removed]>" and endorsed a mandatory government buyback program (although they can't "buy it back" if it was never theirs to begin with). Don't let anyone tell you that Democrats aren't coming for your Second Amendment rights. Joe Biden said that anyone who commits a non-violent crime shouldn't be in jail (looks like I'm never paying taxes again). Lots of misinformation about the Wednesday override vote, so let's clear that up.

WHAT HAPPENED

STORIES FROM THE NATION

It's no secret that Sen. Warren is considered the "leading" policy wonk among the Democrats running for president. She has plans. Lots of them. The problem? They're consistently unconstitutional. National Review <[link removed]>

Let's stick with Sen. Warren for a second. Many, if not all of the Democrat presidential candidates (and other federal Dem candidates for that matter), have stated that they will not accept corporate PAC contributions. Sen. Warren, like the vast majority of her colleagues, is a huge hypocrite. The New York Times <[link removed]>

Allison Lundergan Grimes was Sen. McConnell's opponent in 2014. Her father - who was chairman of the Kentucky Democrat Party at the time - was accused of illegally contributing to her campaign. The case went to trial. Take a wild guess what happened? Lexington Herald-Leader <[link removed]>

Education was a theme during the debate last night, and Democrats like Sen. Sanders have made it clear that they are going to reform education into a one-size-fits-all federal behemoth that would undoubtedly drag education backwards. Charter schools continue to thrive because some Democrats hate what's making a difference, especially for minority students: parental control. The Wall Street Journal <[link removed]>

STORIES FROM NC

There were some interesting storylines from the victories of Congressmen-Elect Murphy and Bishop. Murphy expanded on Trump's margin of victory in the 3rd and Bishop flipped a few counties in the eastern part of the 9th, although we did cede a little ground in the suburbs of Meck. What could this mean for 2020? Roll Call <[link removed]>

The sheriffs who have refused to work with the 287(g) program have come under a lot of fire, and for good reason. A new report is out that sheriffs across NC who haven't abided by the program have released nearly 500 illegal immigrants despite ICE detainers. WBTV <[link removed]>

Over the past decade, carbon emissions have gone down as cars have become more efficient and the country uses more natural gas. The climate change doomsayers say that NC's air and water are dirtier today than 10 years ago. They're wrong, and here's why. John Locke Foundation <[link removed]>

If you're wondering how fake news spreads, Wednesday's floor vote for the veto override is a great case study. Several outlets went with a story before they could verify the facts and they went viral. Local reporters pushed back on them, but it was too late (and the FB page comments and emails can prove it). Read these pieces from Red State <[link removed]> and the Washington Examiner <[link removed]>.

TRACKING YOUR REPRESENTATIVES

CONGRESS

With both chambers back after the August recess, House Dems are pushing full-speed ahead with the politically unpopular impeachment proceedings <[link removed]>. As promised by Speaker Pelosi, they're also going after your Second Amendment rights <[link removed]>. While some Republicans are divided, the House voted to advance a bill to limit offshore drilling <[link removed]>, although it's probably DOA in the Senate. 

To borrow a saying from a few college football teams, the Senate should be renamed into Judge Confirmation U. The Senate confirmed the 150th judicial nominee <[link removed]>, continuing the President's focus to remake the federal judiciary.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

This week has been redistricting <[link removed]>, redistricting <[link removed]>, and more redistricting <[link removed]>. Lawmakers have until 9/18 to get the maps in, so don't expect the Senate to take up the budget veto override that the House passed until after then.
