When you hear a politician talking about quick fixes to lower the cost of medicine, usher in a single-payer system like ‘Medicare-for-All,’ or bring about an immediate free-market revolution to health care, it’s not true. There are no easy reforms or singular solutions that will impact all the layers and complications of providing greater access to health care at lower costs.

President Biden and Vice President Harris argue that they are just trying to "protect democracy." Yet, they have done all they can to prevent citizens from hearing the truth about their administration. That itself is anti-democratic. And it is immoral.  

The White House press secretary had said, “I can absolutely assure you that no one is coming into the United States of America who has not been through a thorough screening and background check process.” And yet, a dangerous Afghan national who was plotting a terrorist attack was allowed into our country.

Myths are stories often about natural occurrences that appear to have a factual basis but in reality, are based on fiction. Consider the tale of the woolly worm, which is actually the woolly bear caterpillar, and not a worm at all.

Less than 48 hours before arrival in North Carolina and just over two weeks until Election Day, Donald Trump has become the first to clear the margin of error leading a presidential poll in the battleground state.

A Trump White House will push for a mixture of federal preemption where the states overly burden commerce and greater autonomy to relieve states of costs arising from intrusive federal requirements. That means balancing the sometimes-competing goals of deregulation and federalism.

Greenfield does need a change. Just not the federal plan. Greenfield needs its own charter, where all of the issues brought up in the past year or so can be addressed. And Greenfield will not have a chance to form a charter for another three to five years if this issue passes.

I doubt that an election decision will be resolved anytime on Nov. 5, 6, or perhaps even Nov. 7. And should the election be dragged out in the courts, bitterness and division will only get worse than it is already.

The SAVE Act would require states to obtain proof of U.S. citizenship – in person – before allowing an individual to register to vote for a federal election. In addition, the legislation would require states to establish programs to remove aliens from their voter rolls.

We must encourage our lawmakers to oppose any additional rate hikes from these utility companies and demand answers from the companies about how they justify the money they charge customers to pay for unnecessary investments just to pad their profits and keep their shareholders happy.

As recently as this year, the Biden-Harris administration continued to issue regulations and battle in court for the right to reduce consumer options for automobiles and home appliances. Harris favors consumers having choices, just so long as those choices are limited to those she pre-approves.

When life dumps on you, go confidently to Jesus for help. He will stand by your side with His shovel. I have a plaque that reads, "Jesus, there is nothing that happens today you and I can't handle."

When the FBI originally released the “final” crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation’s violent crime rate fell by 2.1%. This quickly became, and remains, a Democratic Party talking point to counter Donald Trump’s claims of soaring crime. But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.

We strongly believe that a vote of No on Issue 4 is critically necessary in order for Greenfield to continue to make progress and thrive in an increasingly complex world.

The number one question that the Federal Emergency Management Administration, the Department of Defense, and Congressional overseers need to ask in a post-disaster assessment of Hurricane Helene is what caused the delay in Title 10 Forces responding? Soldiers and equipment from the 82d Airborne Division and XVIII Airborne Corps based in Fort Liberty, N.C., less than 250 miles from Boone and Asheville, N.C., arrived five days after the disaster.
