A Chinese solar company whose wholly owned American subsidiary won millions of dollars in tax incentives from former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper (D.) in 2024 is now seeking a full exit from its U.S. business in what one domestic advocacy group said is the direct result of President Donald Trump’s trade policies. Cooper, now the Democratic nominee for North Carolina’s open Senate seat, rolled out the welcome mat for Boviet Solar in April 2024, gifting the company’s CEO with a hand-made pot emblazoned with the North Carolina seal during a televised press conference in which he touted a $32.6 million state and local incentive package to help the firm open

It was only profitable if the entire nation kicked in. That is why there is a deficit. I have a friend that tried to keep paying every bill after her spouse died. Even though she was living on 65% of what she used to take in. It drove her to bankruptcy. The extra expenses? Her 3, 40ish yr old children were having daddy pay for car loans and car insurance. 40+ yrs old and they weren't even paying for a car insurance! They are angry that they have to pay for their own now ...she filed 13, darn near lost the house and her kids aren't lifting a finger. Spoiled brats.

#4, the NCGOP, led by Whatley and Tillis, has cheated its way into power and enjoyed lobbyist solar money for years. There is not one true conservative in the NCGeneral Assembly or in the NCGOP leadership. Trump picked the wrong horse before there was a primary and the NCGOP ignored the rules about supporting any candidate in a primary. The NCGOP tried to convince everyone that a primary was just a coronation of Whatley-Tillis because Trump endorsed way too far before the primary. The NCGOP is full of RINOs . The GOP delegation in the US Congress is just as bad- full of RINOs. Every poll I have seen has Cooper winning by a 4-6 point margin.

the Chinese solar company "With AmericanPartners" thing is in every state, often several in each state, sometimes several in each city, Ohio had a dozen of them, 3-4 in Toledo alone...To the best of my knowledge NONE have proved to be "Profitable on their own feet" and only were initiated to reap Govt Loans, Grants, and subsidies, many through "Carbon Credit/Green Schemes".

We need a complete moratorium on ALL things China (India too)... and that includes Visas, and Immigration. We have WAY too many here now, as it stands. Congress, REPEAL all past immigration acts, such as the "Hart–Celler Act" of 1965, which began opening the flood-gates to allow immigration from third-world hellholes. If we give you a broad majority in House and Senate, you'd damn sure better do something with it this time! No more Charlie Brown and the football, Lucy. A) Shut down ALL immigration, period. B) Get rid of ALL illegals, period. C) Begin scouring the roles over the past 30 years looking for Naturalized citizens who have been convicted of felonies, State or Federal, who have improperly remained in the U.S. instead of being stripped of citizenship and deported back to where they came from. D) Investigate George Soros and his international crimes committed through his various NGO's and Non-Profits. He is evil, and the USA cannot be a safe-haven for global evil-doers. : :

Federal Prosecutors to Seize Comey’s
Book Sale Profits

Federal prosecutors will seize James Comey’s book sale profits after he was indicted on two felony counts on charges related to his Trump assassination Instagram post. The Justice Department issued a forfeiture notice because prosecutors believe Comey posted the ’86 47′ Trump threat to help with sales of his forthcoming book, “Red Verdict.” “Upon conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the United States any property, real or personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to the said offense,” the indictment read. James Comey posted his threatening ‘8647’ Instagram post shortly before his book launch last May.

Democrat-dominated Ann Arbor is raising eyebrows and garnering widespread mockery for removing all of its anti-crime watch signs across the city to be more "inclusive." The move even prompted a New York City Council member, Republican Vickie Paladino, to say, "They’re just insane." The Michigan city announced on Tuesday that, at the direction of the City Council, it completed the citywide removal of more than 600 neighborhood watch signs. In a statement, the city explained that "removing the signs aligns the city’s environment with its commitment to inclusive, evidence-based public safety." The decision to remove the signs was made in a unanimous 10-0 City Council vote in December,
Cousin Marriage Ban Could Soon Hit the US 17 replies
Posted by ConservativeYankee 4/30/2026 4:09:14 PM Post Reply
Rep. Keith Self has introduced legislation that would effectively outlaw cousin marriages by denying federal recognition and benefits to such unions. “Cousin marriage—which is permitted under Sharia—is fundamentally incompatible with American culture and values. It should not be allowed anywhere in our country,” the Texas Republican told The Daily Signal. “The vast majority of states have already banned this third‑world practice. It’s time for Congress to finish the job and enact a nationwide prohibition.” Marriage between close family members is legal, with few or no restrictions, in 18 states and the District of Columbia. Self argues that blood‑related marriages are common in certain ethnic and cultural groups, with rates reaching

The lawyer for White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect Cole Allen gave an absurd reason why the CalTech grad should be allowed to walk free pending trial, claiming he was “not a danger to anybody” — despite charges that he attempted to assassinate President Trump. Defense attorneys claimed that Allen, 31, was not prepared to carry out a mass shooting in the room where Trump, first lady Melania, and most of the top members of the administration were in attendance, because he had a pump-action shotgun, his team wrote in papers Wednesday. “Mr. Allen has no criminal history — not even prior arrests, which alone would rebut the presumption of detention,”

That the Japanese will not allow pro-jihad, pro-Sharia elements to take over their country in the name of diversity and political correctness is clearly evident from a wave of viral videos showing large crowds in Fujisawa taking to the streets to oppose a proposed mosque project which is expected to be one of the largest mosques in the area. At the heart of the strong resistance that thousands of Japanese participating in these demonstrations have shown are multiple practical and socio-cultural implications, including traffic congestion during prayer times and potential noise disturbances. These are all valid concerns, as Muslims across the globe are

Prosecutors Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston, both of whom served in the Department of Justice (DOJ) under former President Joe Biden, apparently targeted Catholic nuns for attending the “Stop the Steal” rally on January 6, 2021, according to recently released text messages. Text messages shared on Wednesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)—who is investigating Arctic Frost, a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into Republicans and conservatives—reveal that Biden DOJ prosecutors Cooney and Gaston seemingly targeted Catholic nuns attending the “Stop the Steal” rally. Grassley said the texts demonstrated a “total disdain for equal justice” and an apparent willingness to target people based on their religion.

Breitbart News noted that ATF Director Robert Cekada signed a rulemaking package Wednesday afternoon and it contained a “clarifying amendment” that would require would-be gun buyers to select their biological sex on Form 4473. Form 4473 is the firearm transaction form used when a background check is performed on a gun buyer. Under President Biden, changes were made to allow would-be gun buyers to choose “female,” “male,” or “non-binary.” The amendment in the package signed by Cekada would return the form to requiring would-be gun buyers to select their biological sex.

California’s bullet train can’t catch a break. The state’s High-Speed Rail Authority board punted a vote Wednesday on its long-awaited business plan — after it was revealed that the project’s cost had ballooned to a staggering $231 billion. Lawmakers and budget hawks have ripped the Los Angeles-to-San Francisco train project as incomplete, opaque and possibly illegal, with the authority moving to delay a vote until next month. Two days earlier at a tense Senate Transportation Committee, government watchdogs in the Legislative Analyst’s Office warned that the plan doesn’t meet basic legal requirements after new station locations were proposed. Ian Choudri, CEO of the High-Speed Rail Authority, promised to provide

A grand jury on Wednesday indicted a Louisiana sheriff whose office came under investigation after 10 inmates broke out of a New Orleans jail in an audacious escape that happened on her watch. Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson is not accused of helping the inmates pull off the brazen jailbreak through a hole behind a toilet, setting off a monthslong search before all the escapees were eventually captured. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said a state probe instead found that Hutson’s poor management of the jail led to the escape. The 30-count indictment handed up by a New Orleans grand jury charges Hutson with malfeasance, obstruction of justice and falsifying public records.

Most Americans don’t realize this, but their health has been at risk for years. Divisive and discriminatory ideology has crept into health education, under the guise of so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” This politicized worldview has become foundational not only at medical schools, but also at the nursing schools that train my profession. The sudden turn toward indoctrination means that future nurses are spending less time actually studying the essentials of nursing and patient care. The good news is that this disease is finally being contained and treated. In April, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing quietly abandoned its DEI mandates. That matters because the AACN effectively

Do you ever wonder why so many Blue states refuse to hand over their voter rolls to the federal government? After all, there is a federal law that requires certain measures to ensure ballot integrity, passed in the wake of the 2000 Florida debacle. It requires, among other things, that states clean their voter rolls of ineligible voters. But these states refuse to do that, and they refuse to show that they aren't breaking federal law. Of course, every sentient person knows exactly why they do both of those things: they cheat, and want to make it as hard as possible to detect the cheating, and almost impossible to audit elections
Mental Health Awareness Is Backfiring:
New Science Shows How ‘Helpful’ Campaigns

For decades, the mental health industry and its allies in media, government, and education have operated on a simple assumption: the more mental health awareness we spread, through campaigns, school programs, social media, and public service announcements, the better. Raise awareness, reduce stigma, encourage help-seeking, and mental health will surely improve. New evidence shows the opposite is happening. Well-intentioned awareness efforts are actively backfiring, manufacturing distress, inflating diagnoses, and turning normal human emotions into chronic “disorders.” The shocking result is that these campaigns are turning mentally fit people into self-diagnosed mentally ill patients, with symptoms effectively “contracted” from the awareness messages themselves.

The criminal illegal alien, Bryan Rafael Gomez, was arrested by ICE Boston in Worcester, Massachusetts on April 4th.

He is also the subject of an active Interpol Red Notice, an international arrest warrant for murder.

On Thursday, the U.S. House voted 384-35 in support of an amendment to the Farm Bill, which would modify the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to law to allow the purchase of hot rotisserie chicken for SNAP beneficiaries.

When Stanford Law School students shut down a Federalist Society chapter event with a conservative federal appeals judge, aided by a diversity, equity and inclusion dean, and circulated a "headshots" poster identifying chapter board members, the school did not punish deplatformers and censored the event video so they couldn't be identified. Though the law school suspended DEI dean Tirien Steinbach, who left months later, and the university pledged to add free speech and academic freedom to admissions, student orientation and staff training, the damage had been done: Federal appeals judges blacklisted Stanford Law students from clerkships and congressional Republicans targeted its accreditation.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren was not happy when the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance Kevin Warsh’s nomination to lead the Federal Reserve, saying it would amount to a takeover of the Fed by President Donald Trump. No surprise there. For today’s Democrats, everything Trump does is either illegal, a threat to Democracy, or fascistic. But then Warren said that “The Trump economy is in real trouble. Inflation is up, job creation is down. The stink of stagflation is in the air, and President Trump is getting desperate.” Is any of that true?

The United Arab Emirates' decision this week to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is just the latest departure and yet another sign that the cartel’s decades-long grip over global energy markets is drifting further into the history books. The UAE has ambitions to increase its oil and gas production, and this has brought it into conflict with other members of the cartel, primarily Saudi Arabia. The production quotas the group set were aimed at keeping prices higher, and that worked well when the Middle East was the primary energy producer in the world.
