Huge Hog In Bertie County

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

I don’t know how many of you remember a story I wrote last October about the pig population exploding? Large hog sightings? If not, it’s pretty short and you can catch up on it here: Holy Oink, Batman: The Wild Pig Epidemic

Well, via Carolina Plott Hound I saw this story about a man named Jeff Webb who was hunting in Bertie county and who took down a MONSTER pig.

CCSSO President Atkinson Starts Campaigning Early

Posted on March 9, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

NC State Superintendent and President of the CCSSO Dr. June Atkinson recently spent time speaking to the Carteret County Democrat party. Atkinson assaulted the current legislature for teacher pay while conveniently leaving out the role both she and former Governor Perdue played in freezing teacher pay in the first place.

Despite having the highest graduation rate in the history of the state, North Carolina’s public education system needs support to survive the recent wave of changes enacted by the General Assembly, State Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson said on Saturday to county Democrats.

#DM7: Re: Oh THOSE Abuse Cases….

Posted on January 19, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

My latest went up at Da Tech Guy: Re: About Those Abuse Cases

———————-

On Monday, DaTechGuy wrote about the sexual abuse cases taking place in schools as highlighted by Stacy McCain:

Lately Stacy McCain has been doing a large series on sexual criminals. Yesterday he focused on Teachers

If you pay attention to the news, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that America’s public schools are staffed by sex-crazed perverts

It’s not his first dive into these waters but this time Glenn Reynolds linked with the line:

Obviously, we need to end mandatory celibacy and let high school teachers marry.

Now this is a story we’ve been covering for a while, but as we’ve also had a real bump in readership in 2013 & 2014 so for new readers at DaTechGuy Blog let me acquaint you with some stories we covered and & posts we did that you might have missed on this subject over the years:

McIntyre (D- NC 07) To Retire

Posted on January 9, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

The news came last night, Mike McIntyre won’t be running again.

Earthquake in #NCPol MT @politico #Breaking: Democratic Reps. Mike McIntyre (N.C.) … retiring, according to multiple Democratic sources.

— Clark Riemer (@clarkriemer) January 8, 2014

Might be just as well, because he barely beat Rouzer before the Obamacare trainwreck hit back in 2012. That race was pretty expensive (5th in the nation) and was so close Rouzer asked for a recount. McIntyre emerged and won by 654 votes. It’s doubtful McIntyre wants to repeat that and be on the losing end – especially since according to OpenSecrets.org, it seems like the money faucet has turned off for him in the last year.

#DM7: A Primer On The Left In NC (PT III)

Posted on January 5, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

My weekly column at Da Tech Guy is up here: A Primer On The Left In NC (PT III)

_____________________

In Part II of A Primer on the Left in NC, we looked at the leader of the “grassroots” Moral Monday movement, Reverend William Barber. This week, it’s important to learn about the start of Moral Monday and their tactics because, as I predicted, it’s spreading. Just this past week, Barber met with various unnamed activists from 12 other states with the intent to help organize Moral Monday’s elsewhere. One of the attendees was Democratic state Sen. Hank Sanders of Alabama. I view this as the reaction of the organized Left realizing how much power is held by the individual states. Too many for the comfort of the Left are under Republican leadership. Continue reading →
