Friend --
Impeachment hearings began this week, and Democrats
are privately worried about the effects of the hearings long-term.
Governor Veto...er, Roy Cooper, added to his total this week: 42.
That's more than all his predecessors combined. A few big events
coming up this week with Rep.
Devin Nunes this Saturday and Corey Lewandowski in Johnston
County on Tuesday and in Raleigh
on Wednesday. If you haven't purchased your Trump wrapping paper,
don't
miss out on your opportunity to get a few rolls. With the
impeachment taking up most of the air this week, check out the stories
you may have missed this week.
WHAT HAPPENED
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
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
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
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
STORIES FROM
NC
This is a crazy story you're simply going to have to read to
believe. The
Charlotte Observer
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
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
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
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 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, the Service-Disabled
Veterans Small Business Continuation Act, the Veteran
Entrepreneurship Training Act, the Deborah
Sampson Act, and the GI
Bill Planning Act.
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
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 that Cooper has threatened to veto and more
oversight of NCDOT after they went more than $2 billion over
budget. An interesting
report 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 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 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.
