Friend --
Impeachment hearings began this week, and Democrats are privately worried <[link removed]> about the effects of the hearings long-term. Governor Veto...er, Roy Cooper, added to his total this week: 42 <[link removed]>. That's more than all his predecessors combined. A few big events coming up this week with Rep. Devin Nunes this Saturday <[link removed]> and Corey Lewandowski in Johnston County on Tuesday <[link removed]> and in Raleigh on Wednesday <[link removed]>. If you haven't purchased your Trump wrapping paper, don't miss out on your opportunity to get a few rolls <[link removed]>. With the impeachment taking up most of the air this week, check out the stories you may have missed this week.

STORIES FROM THE NATION
Let's start with international news. We all remember the history of Jewish people being forced to wear a yellow Star of David on their clothing. Take a wild guess what the European Court just ruled. The Jerusalem Post <[link removed]>
Lost in all the policy talk among Democrats running for president are their education policies. School choice is enormously popular among African-American and Hispanic communities. As Republicans, we should be making a concerted effort to win over every demographic, especially minority communities, on the topic of educational freedom and parental control. New York Daily News <[link removed]>
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is the closest Democrat to overtaking Joe Biden as the front runner for the nomination, if she already hasn't done so. She's built a reputation is having a plan for everything, but she's a con-woman and her most ambitious con yet is Medicare For All. Washington Examiner <[link removed]>
Speaking of Warren, she said that she would consider a deportation freeze during her stop in Raleigh last week. That not only spits in the faces of legal immigrants already here and the thousands waiting in line, but the result of the policy is de facto open borders. The Washington Free Beacon <[link removed]>
STORIES FROM NC
This is a crazy story you're simply going to have to read to believe. The Charlotte Observer <[link removed]>
Cooper's Medicaid Expansion ultimatum over the budget is starting to have an impact, and I don't mean on the teachers going without raises or the schools going without funding; I mean the state itself. Read on. Winston-Salem Journal <[link removed]>
This is an interesting case. Some may be familiar with the Leandro case, which requires the state provide an adequate education to students. The case is more than 20 years old, and there could be constitutional concerns regarding the lawsuit. Carolina Journal <[link removed]>
This was posted on the NCGOP FB page, but it deserves a spot here too. Sanctuary sheriffs in Meck and Wake have been putting public safety at risk with their refusal to participate in the 287(g) program. It could've been stopped but Cooper vetoed HB370 although Senator Tillis is working on federal legislation. This is an article you'll want to read. National Review <[link removed]>
TRACKING YOUR REPRESENTATIVES
CONGRESS
Obviously, the impeachment proceedings are sucking up all the air. However, the House did pass a bill to revamp the Export-Import Bank <[link removed]> that is DOA in the Senate because it's opposed by the GOP and the White House. They did pass four bills in an overwhelming bipartisan vote meant to address veterans: the SERV Act <[link removed]>, the Service-Disabled Veterans Small Business Continuation Act <[link removed]>, the Veteran Entrepreneurship Training Act <[link removed]>, the Deborah Sampson Act <[link removed]>, and the GI Bill Planning Act <[link removed]>.
Bad Bill Of The Week: Haven't done this in a while, but had to given that NC's own awful Rep. Alma Adams is part of the bill. Senator Tim Scott has championed the Opportunity Zone investment program that's aimed at low-income minority communities, and Democrats are trying to gut the program. Seriously. The Hill <[link removed]>
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Both chambers were back in session this week to work on redistricting and to pass a couple more end-of-session bills. They passed disaster relief funding <[link removed]> that Cooper has threatened to veto and more oversight of NCDOT <[link removed]> after they went more than $2 billion over budget. An interesting report <[link removed]> was released the State Auditor that revealed the NCAE's membership was just a little over 5000 teachers, meaning they (and Governor Cooper) are holding up pay raises for 90,000 others. As for redistricting, the NCGA passed this map <[link removed]> out, which means it'll probably get reviewed by the Court of Appeals panel that put in the preliminary injunction a couple weeks ago. The State Supreme Court denied an appeal <[link removed]> of the legislative maps, which means those are most likely in place for the 2020 elections. As it sits right now, filing and primaries will take place as scheduled.
