Posted on May 14, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Occupy Monday welcomed back the NC General Assembly today… hooraaaaay.

Now, with 78% more hyperbole and indignation! “@NCCapitol: A sequel to last summer’s Moral Monday protests at #ncga set to begin Monday.”

The union desiring arm of the NCAE (Organize2020) that keeps pushing campaigns using our kids as their couriers was there:

In the tradition adopted last year, it’s the biggest Moral Monday yet! No, not really:

Mendez was arrested on the April 28th Occupy Monday. Further down in the article, Mendez claimed he didn’t know about the court date. Really?

Posted on May 13, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

News and Record wins the spit-take of the morning award today.

The Rev. William J. Barber II got a call recently from a cruise organizer for The Nation, the 149-year-old weekly magazine with a deep left-leaning fan base.

The caller wanted to know whether Barber, the leader of North Carolina’s NAACP chapter, could spend a week in December cruising the eastern Caribbean as a part of a panel that included Nation publishers, writers and editors, big thinkers and celebrities such as film director Oliver Stone.

WOW… desperate much?

From the link in Clark Riemer’s tweet, read below about the ” 50 highly-trained paid Moral Freedom Summer organizers” of which “Native North Carolinians, students, people of color, LGBT people, and Spanish-speakers are encouraged to apply.” Hey, you — white guy, forget applying? Continue reading →
