Excerpt:
Sparks flew as the North Carolina Board of Elections decided Tuesday to further delay voting to approve ballot access for the We the People Party and the Justice for All Party.
The Constitution Party, a third which met the signature threshold as mandated by state statute, was approved. Randall Terry is its presidential nominee. Conservative values are the party’s calling card; the two delayed trend in the opposite direction and threaten to siphon votes for Democrats.
This comes as the board, which met June 26 and delayed all three parties’ access, faces a federal investigation by the Committee on the Judiciary of the U.S. House of Representatives, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
“I’m just completely at a loss for what is going on here,” Kevin Lewis, a Republican, said in the Tuesday meeting. “It’s not making sense to me. I think the board is bringing a lot of bad publicity on the board. Your motives are starting to be questioned.”
At the last board meeting, each of the parties were denied 3-2 by a party-line vote.
Chairman Alan Hirsch, Jeff Carmon and Siobhan Millan, all Democrats, voted against while Republicans Stacy Eggers and Kevin Lewis voted in favor.
The federal investigation launched a week ago. It comes two years after the state board was litigated and shown to have improperly denied the Green Party access to the ballot in 2022.
“The Committee on House Administration and the Committee on the Judiciary are concerned that the NCSBE’s decision was politically motivated and may have been done to influence the 2024 presidential election by limiting the candidates for which voters may cast their ballots,” wrote Jordan and Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wisconsin, and chairman of the House Administration Committee.
While longshot Terry will gain access, still awaiting are presidential hopefuls Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (We the People) and Cornel West (Justice for All Party).
.....North Carolina has 16 electoral college votes and is considered one of seven key battleground states representing 93 electoral college votes. The others are Pennsylvania (19), Georgia (16), Michigan (15), Arizona (11), Wisconsin (10) and Nevada (six).
.....Hirsch, the chairman, asked to discuss Lewis’ concerns “offline” before saying he will “promptly” schedule the next meeting. He said he wanted to allow staff to complete their investigations into the signatures submitted by the We the People party and the Justice for All Party.
The Democrat’s reasoning is ironic. Photo identification laws and U.S. citizenship laws are routinely challenged by his party, inclusive of litigation despite overwhelming approval by North Carolina voters in the case of the former.
In response, Eggers said the board should avoid going on a “fishing expedition” to try to find invalid signatures, especially as both parties were significantly over the required threshold for signatures.
.....The Justice for All Party also called the board’s subpoenas “illegal.”
“This is political persecution orchestrated by Marc Elias and the NC Democrats. Regardless of your party affiliation, should be rebuked entirely,” the party said in a statement.
The North Carolina GOP also released a statement in favor of the parties.
.....“This board is yet again engaging in blatant partisanship, this time clearly aimed at preserving the political prospects of Democrats, specifically President Joe Biden in this state’s General Election,” said North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Jason Simmons in a letter to the board.
Nice one.

Then I started thinking about Carson’s background, and how tough he had to be to overcome his young life in the ghetto, his arduous track through college, medical school and the prerequisite residencies then his incredible success as a surgeon, specializing in the toughest problems in neurological/brain surgery, even on tiny babies and children.
I started thinking about the families he had to deal with, hospital politics, peer jealousies, review boards, and all that goes with such a public and tough profession.
He has developed a mild demeanor, but it is masking a highly intelligent and well trained mind that is capable of making lightening fast conclusions to complex problems, and equally fast reflexes in controlling and reacting correctly in a high stress environment.
I think he may be the right man for the job, if Trump selects him. He seems to have mastered the jungle at HUD, an agency reputed to be highly political and corrupt.
Is his “mild manner” masking a will of iron, nerves of steel, and tactical power that he has learned to use strategically when the occasion requires bold action? I do not know, but it stikes me as a possibility that his humble nature may make him appear to be “takeable”, but his career doesnt suggest that - in fact, it suggests the opposite.
Time will tell, and all we can do is to trust God, and hope that Trump follows His will and guidance when making the choice.
I enjoyed reading your well written, thoughtful insights. Great 'black box' analysis! ThankQ!

Here is what I researched and put my husband on.. diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, 7 tumors in lung, 7 tumors in liver and tumor in colon.. lung tumors benign after around 2 months of taking this, liver tumors gone after 1 year, colon tumor is now shrunk to almost being gone.. this is what my husband Rupert took.. hope this helps someone.. they only gave him 6months to live but didn’t even expect that… still alive at a year and a half later doing better than ever..
Brutal indeed!!!
