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

Without the Tax Credits from the Feds, the company was making any money, of course it left...

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 15 replies

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

We’re in the eighth week of the Iran waropens in a new tab, and things are starting to heat up even though there’s not kinetic action. What do I mean by heating up? The Iranian government has ceased to exist. We don’t know, and the Iranians don’t know who holds power. There is the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. There is the theocracy, there is the elected people in Parliament, and there is a regular military. And those four groups operate in schizophrenic fashion. By the same token, sometimes they give off signals that they would like to negotiate because that is predicated on popular resistance.

As Dr. Anthony Fauci’s right-hand man, David Morens, was charged this week with conspiracy and destruction of federal records in the COVID-19 cover-up, another scandal over the vaccine was unfolding on Capitol Hill. According to a new Senate report and congressional testimony on Wednesday, Biden administration health officials deliberately ignored warning signs of possible serious reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, including heart attacks, strokes, Bell’s palsy and sudden cardiac death. Within three months of the vaccines being rolled out, in March 2021, red flags were fluttering out of the weekly data dumps from doctors and patients reporting health problems after the shots, according to internal emails and meeting notes

In the wake of the Charlottesville rally in August 2017, the media relied on Southern Poverty Law Center experts to explain an apparent rise in white supremacy in America after Donald Trump’s election. But, while SPLC’s experts helped the media understand America’s racism problem after the rally, it was allegedly funding an organizer of the event, a member of a racist group prone to extremism. At the same time it was double-dipping, the Charlottesville rally launched SPLC’s credibility to new heights and boosted its fundraising hauls. Throughout the last decade, SPLC also covertly funded members of racist groups prone to extremism, including the Aryan Nations,

Americans love arguing about free speech. We invoke the First Amendment as a kind of political force field: You can say whatever you want, whenever you want, without consequence. But the First Amendment only restricts government action. It does not guarantee you a career, a platform or immunity from backlash. The real question is not whether certain speech is legal but rather what kind of speech deserves social consequences — and what kind doesn't. And if we're talking about reckless political speech, we should talk about Jimmy Kimmel. Years ago, he abandoned comedy in favor of applause lines, tearful monologues and the occasional performance of empathy. He's an unfunny
