OK, North Carolina, if you are remotely considering a vote for Cooper for Senate… here is why Whatley is the ONLY choice!
1. While governor, Cooper vetoed 104 bills – nearly three times the combined totals of all previous governors. He cannot work across the aisle.
2. Cooper consistently aligned with the Biden administration on immigration and refused to work for a stronger border.
3. Cooper did not join other governors in publicly condemning Biden’s handling of the border.
4. In 2019, Cooper vetoed a “born-alive” abortion bill that would have required medical care for infants born alive after a failed abortion procedure.
5. The NC legislature passed a bill known as the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act (2023) requiring school and college sports teams to be designated by biological sex at birth. Cooper vetoed the bill.
6. In 2023, Cooper vetoed a package of bills related to transgender youth, including restrictions on gender-affirming care and sports participation.
7. Cooper has consistently opposed voter ID (photo identification) requirements for voting in North Carolina,
8. On Tuesday, Feb 24, 2021 Cooper vetoed a bill giving parents the ability to opt out of school mask mandates.
9. In 2021 Cooper, as governor, allowed early release of 3500 prisoners. Nearly half of them reoffended.
10. Former Governor Roy Cooper tries to present himself but his lack of criticism indicates he would not offer opposition to the extreme left wing part of his party.
11. If Cooper is elected to the U. S. Senate it is almost certain that he will vote for Chuck Schumer to head the Senate.
12. In Sept 2024 Cooper vetoed a bill that would have expanded funding for private school voucher programs.
13. Teacher Zoe Welsh was brutally murdered in her home. The accused murderer had twenty previous arrests but had been released to the public by a Cooper appointed judge. Cooper is consistently soft on crime.
VOTE FOR WHATLEY!
Today marks 25 years since the September 11 attacks. In honor of those impacted, the Embassy has lowered its flag to half-staff. Japan continues to stand with the United States as an ally and friend.
We will be pretty quiet today as we observe the anniversary with proper respect today. We will end the day at small town Friday night lights, watching a 4-year-old granddaughter cheer with the high schoolers. Tears will be shed.
One of Charlie Kirk’s legacies is that he helped make the right the party of reason, conversation, and ideas—while the left has firmly made itself the party of political violence, authoritarianism, and insanity.
A couple of great upgrades for my son’s 3rd-gen 4Runner: a new phone mount and cup holder from Mantella Works https://t.co/qGAONFkCLf . They fit nicely, clean up the interior, and keep the phone and drinks secure while driving. Definitely a safety and convenience upgrade, Nice!
A few weeks ago when Daisy accepted the Manufacturer of Excellence Award at the Legends of the Outdoors awards banquet, @TedNugent also accepted a Legend award. What do you think of Uncle Ted? It’s safe to say no one has ever written better hunting music.
🚨WOW!!!!!!
A Texas constable has unplugged every single Flock camera in his county.
"I don’t believe “safety” should be a word that automatically ends the discussion whenever individual liberty is involved."
"Flock, come get your GARBAGE out of my county..."
County commissioners in Hood County voted unanimously in April to end its contract with Flock, which included three cameras, and the constable finished the job of shutting down the Flock cameras by unplugging them and covering them with a hood.
The constable further wrote:
"When government has the ability to collect, search and share information about the movements of people who aren’t suspected of committing a crime, I believe that raises serious Fourth Amendment and privacy concerns.
The answer can’t simply be, “Trust us. We won’t misuse it.”
Flock has 120,000 cameras tracking cars across America, no warrant required. Over 5,000 police agencies have signed on. This isn't crime fighting. This is mass surveillance of every American, and a violation of our 4th Amendment rights.
Hunters are prohibited from using trail cameras in AZ and NV, while states including AK, CO, ID, KS, MT, NH, NM, and UT prohibit or limit trail cameras with wireless transmission capabilities.
But all these states use Flock cameras to track you...
🚨#BREAKING: The family of Iryna Zarutska is filing a lawsuit against the city of Charlotte NC, nearly 1 year after she was m*rdered on the Light Rail.
This comes as an auditor's report revealed that 60% of everyone riding the Light Rail in Charlotte ILLEGALLY rides the train by not paying for a ticket.
Yes, you read that right... SIXTY PERCENT of riders on the Light Rail do not pay for a ticket and illegally ride the train.
"We need physical barriers to prevent non-ticketed riders from boarding our light rail system. It’s the only way, with a physical barrier, DeCarlos Brown Jr. would not have been on that train on August 22nd, 2025.”
"The family wants Iryna's de*th to lead to lasting changes so that the people who live in Charlotte can feel safe...."
GOOD!!!
An innocent New York man still remains behind bars. His crime? Assembling firearms in his own home.
Not murder. Not trafficking. A simple hobby put this man behind bars for 10 years.
His name is Dexter Taylor.
During his trial, Judge Abena Darkeh proudly stated:
“Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.”
We reached out to Dexter, who remains unjustly imprisoned, and had a powerful conversation with him.
Tune in Thursday.
