Original thought has nothing to do with effective propaganda these days. One of the dangers with propaganda is how familiar it feels no matter where it originates or who has coopted it. Whoever this troll posting that...Read More

Classic trolling of public forums is to post us-vs-them propaganda and ask for someone to view it and analyze it for “truth.” It’s how garbage gets spread....Read More

I take issue with the person who says people don’t read anymore. Apparently a lot of people like recent posters campaigning for their “side” read quite a bit. Understand what they read without someone telling them what...Read More

Frankly, I’m most concerned right now about who is doing what and why here on the home field. Local politics in Spruce Pine and Mitchell County have always largely played out behind closed doors with money and...Read More
A major political party asked for significant immigration reform & a bi-partisn Senate committee developed just a such a bill, the most well reasoned and comprehensive in several decades! Then an unnamed individual expressed his displeasure with...Read More

Personally, I have no problem with reasonable term limits for elected office and for public boards, particularly if there is sufficient numbers of positions rotating in and out, on and off, to allow for continuity so hard...Read More
It is absurd to allow politicians to vote on term limits! Put it on ballot and let the voters decide. It will pass the first election cycle! We’re tired of being ruled by corrupt bureaucrats....Read More
I have working memory of 12 administrations, 12 presidents, six Democrats, six Republicans. All of them flew around in jets that were “all right for them.” All of them made decisions about the environment, the economy and...Read More
I would suggest we all be careful and informed about which ones we vote out and which ones we vote in to replace them, particularly locally, the place where our votes mean the most. Voting them all...Read More
With this administration wanting to Go Green how is this Controlled burning allowed. Don’t they know this is hurting this administrations environment like the jets they fly around in. It’s alright for them....Read More
