GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - President Joe Biden’s economic agenda includes a $2 trillion infrastructure plan that aims to repair roads, focus on clean energy and create millions of jobs for Americans among other issues. The proposal, called the American Jobs Plan, faces an uphill battle in Congress as some Republicans are opposed. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Wednesday morning that he was unlikely to support anything “If it’s going to have massive tax increases and trillions more added to the national debt,” according to NBC News. Although there’s a lot to unpack in Biden’s plan, including money to...

Ever since the notion of widening Interstate 95 and making it a toll road was chased out of town by an angry mob, there was a bewildering silence out there. What to do about “America’s Main Street”? How to fix the nation’s first major interstate highway, parts of which bear a worrisome resemblance to what old-times saw on Day 1? In fact, some of those ancient parts are right in our backyard, including the too-low overpasses in Harnett County that trap an over-height truck from time to time. Harnett also owns a few of those short exit ramps that make...

Radical leftists regularly resort to hateful and intolerant invective to buttress claims that their political opponents are uniformly hateful and intolerant; evidently, the irony eludes people who have divorced reality and wed themselves to self-righteous delusion.  Columnist and humorist Julia Gorin’s new book, The Buddy Chronicles, provides an unfiltered and predictably damning portrait of the knuckle-dragging Clintonite left in all its malicious, illogical, and semi-literate infamy.  Buddy  is also a timely counterweight to Hillary Clinton’s recently released fictional memoir, Living History, with which the former first lady took a brazenly propagandistic first step toward a 2008 presidential run. Gorin rose...
