LL1885’s Most Viewed Stories of 2018

2019 is almost here, time for a look back at LL1885’s top stories, tweets, and videos of 2018.

This year’s top tweet:

I was a bra burning, bumper sticker ideology spewing liberal NY Democrat.
Then I watched Bill Clinton lie to the nation.
And his wife try to silence his other victims.
And the party lurched further left and has each year since.
That is when I decided to #WalkAway

LL188’s Videos of the Year for 2018

LL188’s Top Ten Most View Articles

10. Roy Cooper to 55% of NC Voters: You’re too stupid to use ID to vote

Apparently, Governor Cooper believes his citizenry are too dumb or feeble to obtain one of the multiple forms of ID considered acceptable in SB 824.
Over 55% of North Carolinian voters approved a state constitutional amendment requiring voter ID at the polls.
The legislature then passed a bill detailing a long list of acceptable ID’s. Like clockwork, Democratic Governor Roy Cooper vetoed the bill and his veto message was not only overly theatrical, but it also contained an insult to the intelligence of the voters in the state.

9. NC Democratic Party Spox Under Fire for Lews and Misogynistic Tweets

According to NC Insider October Newsletter “Old tweets posted by the N.C. Democratic Party’s lead spokesman have raised some concerns about his views toward women. Communications Director Robert Howard, who was hired by the NCDP in June 2017, said he sent the tweets when he was trying to be a comedian.”
There are more screenshots of Howard’s ‘comedian tweets’ in the article, which are not funny at all.

8. WCPSS Staffer Warns Teachers: Don’t “Culturally Appropriate” for Thanksgiving Activities

Being a Social Justice Warrior making $85,000 a year in Wake County Public Schools allows one to berate teachers about their Thanksgiving activities on Twitter. Who knew?
The taxpayers of Wake County might like to know that instead of supplies in the classroom or more teachers, the “Office of Equity Affairs” has only 4 non-teaching staff and is costing them over half a million a year.

7. Liberal UNC Asheville Prof Busted for Stealing Political Signs

Dr. Amanda Wray 38-year-old UNC Asheville ‘women’s studies’ English professor was busted stealing political signs. Wray teaches a course on “Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies” and turned herself in after a warrant was issued for her arrest. And yep, she’s a Democrat who describes herself as an “activist who focuses her research on individual agency within the everyday [SIC] to interrupt oppressions.”

6. DNC Leaks: NYC Gay Power Couple Hosts Posh Fundraiser for NC’s Roy Cooper

While he was a candidate for NC Governor, Roy Cooper’s name was discovered in the Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails leaked by WikiLeaks. Several DNC officials, who also provide event coordination via various companies for Democrat events, helped facilitate a meeting for Cooper between Goldman Sachs employees and a top Obama Super PAC contributor. Roy Cooper’s name appeared a second time in the leaked DNC emails with regard to a pricey and posh fundraising event hosted by a gay power couple in New York City.

5. The School to Prison Pipeline and the Parkland Shooting

The point of the now-famous Obama era “PROMISE Program” employed between the Broward Sheriff dept. and the school district was to lower suspension rates of minority students by seeking ‘alternative methods’ to dealing with violent or otherwise problem-related students. This program allowed Nikolas Cruz to go totally unchecked and he ended up murdering many of his classmates. Versions of this program still exist in districts all across the country – Including the 15th largest one in the country, Wake County Public Schools in North Carolina.

4. Cutting to the Chase: Just the Ford-Mitchell Transcript

To cut through the interruptions of the Democrats grandstanding in the questioning of Christine Ford, I compiled a running transcript of just the interactions between Ford and the former sex crimes prosecutor chosen for the hearing, Ms. Rachel Mitchell.

It’s a lot clearer reading this transcript that while something happened to Ford, she has no idea who, when, where or how it happened.

3. Greensboro Man Absolutely Nukes City Council Over The Second Amendment

Citizen Mark Robinson did not bring prepared remarks to the Greensboro City Council meeting but had a blistering response to the speakers who preceded him and essentially nuked the gun-grabby City Council members. There is video!

2. NC Governor Attends Gala Hosted by Registered Sex Offender.

North Carolina’s Democratic Governor Roy Cooper attended a gala hosted by a registered sex offender earlier this month in Charlotte. The NC Media was nowhere to be found. In fact, a Google search shows zero stories from any news outlet in the state save one – an LGBT specific one called Qnotes.

1. S. Charlotte Middle School Sign: F*ck Kavanaugh (Updates)

During the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh, a sign in front of the South Charlotte Middle School was changed to read “F*ck Kavanaugh.
A Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Schools spokesperson called it “Fake news,” but they were in for a surprise.
