Thank you President @realDonaldTrump! Roy Cooper made the single most destructive act ever made by a NC Governor when he released 4,200 hardened criminals out of prison early. 25 of the prisoners that he released went on to commit MURDER . Roy Cooper has Blood on His Hands!

🚨 NOW: New NORTH CAROLINA US SENATE poll finds the race is GETTING TIGHTER 🔵 Roy Cooper: 48% (+5) 🔴 Michael Whatley: 43% That's two D+5 polls after other outlets found Whatley losing by 10 OR MORE North Carolina IS NOT BLUE! Keep surging! Remember that Roy Cooper is the FAILED governor of North Carolina and he released hardened criminals on his own people. It is not an option to vote for him. Trump won this state all 3 times. @QuantusInsights | 9/21-22 | N=686LV

I personally would like to thank the Krystal Corp for opening a franchise in Wilson NC. Can’t wait. I grew up on Krystal burgers, fries, chili, and shakes and believe they made me a better person. So long frozen White Castles and welcome back to NC Krystal and, THANK YOU.

Please alert me as to what NC school systems are doing this.
Many NC school systems continue to teach students that the rule of law is optional and laws can be ignored when they become inconvenient. Maybe students remember that lesson the next time their schools try to enforce a rule they don’t like. #ncpol axios.com/local/raleigh/2026…

The new Democrat agenda is the most extreme and radical we’ve ever seen. These extremists cannot get control of the House!

Republicans passed legislation that slashes waste, fraud, and abuse in America’s healthcare system while investing billions in rural hospitals – and Cooper wants to repeal it. #ncpol #ncsen

A new federal housing law aims to reduce NC’s projected shortage of over 764,000 homes by promoting local construction, expanding financing and manufactured housing options, and limiting large institutional investors’ purchases of single-family properties. #ncga #ncpol carolinajournal.com/new-fede…

Six years ago this week, Roy Cooper killed the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, blocking lower energy prices for North Carolinians because it didn't fit his Green New Deal agenda. Then he pushed Duke Energy to buy more solar and drive up electricity rates while his family profited.

Berger says it was clear House wouldn’t support state taxpayer dollars for an MLB stadium at this time and it wasn’t worth holding up the budget. “It was important for us to just recognize that, acknowledge that, and get on with the other things.” #ncpol

NC Democrats are currently crashing out because they're being required to follow the North Carolina House rules. @ncspeakerhall not standing for it. #ncpol #ncga
