They'd like you to forget all about it now, but back in 2022, Wake County Republican Rep. Erin Pare held joint events with her good friend Mark "Minisoldr" Robinson after he proposed eliminating all science and history education in North Carolina K-5 classrooms.
(Yes, really.)

The thing a lot of people don't realize is that there's little or no enforcement about Statements of Economic Interest. Tons of folks in and around the North Carolina state legislature "accidentally" leave stuff out all the time. It's by design.
This was one of my favorite moments of the season... Not just because of Daniel's homerun. But, because of his interaction with Jose after hitting it. It came at a time when Josey wasn't hitting like his "Josey Self". And yet... he never seemed panicked or stressed and no matter what, he always took time to build up his teammates. He's such a great leader!
It got me thinking... One day, maybe 10 - 15 yrs from now, the Schneemann family will take a trip to Cooperstown. It'll probably be for some baseball or softball tournament that one of our grandkids will be playing in. Daniel might even be one of the coaches by then. We'll all visit the Hall of Fame and when we pass by the bust of Jose Ramirez, our grandkids will get to hear a few clubhouse stories from their dad/uncle about what it was like to play with this 5 foot 8 inch GIANT of baseball player... What he was like as a teammate & a leader.
I'm sure Daniel will still be really humble, so before leaving the Hall, I'll make sure we also pass by the busts of Verlander & Scherzer & I'll let the grandkids know thier Dad/Uncle homered off both those dudes. Yeah, that will be a great day...
But, that's in the future. Tomorrow its on to the ALCS. And Josey is back to his "Josey Self". Its a bad day to be a Ray!
Go Guards!
ALERT: Stay away from Vote Safe. Org, which pretends to be a voter resource, but is funded by Elon Musk's PAC, and appears to be harvesting voter information.
Good morning, Guards fans. What a ballgame, what a night! Josey homers and pitchers dominate (21Ks) = clinch at home! So happy for our fans. Progressive Field was electric once again. Best thing- More Baseball For Us! GO GUARDS! #StandGuard
Dear People On Medicare,
BEFORE you vote. Go to https://t.co/TCiUbwwHQu & check your Part D RX plan for 2027 vs. 2026. Mine went up 3x the amount in a YEAR. That is Donald Trump & RFK Jr. REMEMBER that when you cast your ballot!🗳️💙
NEW: newly revealed posts show that NC Republican Rep. Mike Schietzelt (@mikefor35) of northern Wake County promoted the "stop the steal" conspiracy theory and was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump's attempt to overthrow the 2020 election.
Schietzelt was formerly a clerk for Mark Martin, the disgraced ex-justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, who himself was a core plotter of the 2020 Trumpist coup attempt, and helped the Trump team coordinate efforts during the January 6th terrorist assault on the U.S. Capitol.
Schietzelt has now tried to erase this evidence and refuses to comment on it - but it's all here, in his own words. Totally disqualifying for anyone holding public office.
