Craig Travis announces endorsements

Rockingham County Commissioner Craig Travis has released his long-awaited list of endorsements for this November's election.  Craig covers every Republican from President Donald Trump to School Board member Brent Huss.  And, of course there's a Berger on the list.

If you have any sense, you will run away from Craig's list and vote for somebody else or don't vote at all.

And, most importantly, keep your liberal mouth shut.

Master Debaters

Trump and Clinton go at it.

Stealing campaign signs is illegal

I just received a notice from Rockingham County Board of Elections Director Tina Cardwell,  Tina wanted to remind me that what School Board member Ron Price did was illegal.  I didn't need reminding, but I guess Tina wanted to be sure I knew Ron did a bad thing.

Here's Tina's notice:

The Board of Elections has no authority to enforce laws pertaining to the placement of political signs.  We do provide to and review Political Sign Laws with Candidates when they set up their committees, and also provide this information to the public in an effort to inform.

Issues concerning the placement of political signs within city/town limits on city/town streets are matters for the city/town.

If the sign is in the ETJ, you should call the respective city/town.  Zoning in the ETJ is controlled by the city/town.

Issues concerning the placement of political signs in the county are matters for the county and should be directed to the Planning and Zoning Department.

Issues concerning the placement of political signs on State maintained roads are matters for the NCDOT and should be directed to your local office of the NCDOT.

Signs unlawfully placed upon the property of another have no legal protection and can be disposed of by the property owner.  This does not apply on days voting is taking place for properties that serve as a voting location.

General Statute 14-384 makes it a misdemeanor to remove lawfully placed signs, including political signs.  Complaints as to an alleged violation of this statute should be directed to law enforcement by the complaining party.

There is also a provision in General Statute 136-32(e) that makes it a misdemeanor to remove lawfully placed signs on right-of-ways.  Complaints as to an alleged violation of this statute should be directed to law enforcement by the complaining party.

Please note 136-32(b).  This section of the statute describes the period as to when it is lawful for political signs to be placed on state maintained right-of-ways.

Clinton-Kaine sign makes appearance

Here it is. Admire it for these are extremely rare in Rockingham County. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Trump-Pence sign, but getting a Clinton-Kaine sign requires that you know "someone". I'm lucky my wife knows "someone".

I'm told there are a few Clinton-Kaine signs around Reidsville. That may or may not be true. I don't get out a lot, so I can't say for sure. I know the southern part of the county is covered in Trump-Pence signs.

Trump will likely win 60-70 percent of the vote in Rockingham County. I know this because 70 percent of the county voted for a state Constitutional amendment to outlaw gay marriage. Of course the Federal courts shot that down, but it shows you where the county has its head.

This Clinton-Kaine sign is planted on a hill in my front yard. I have it covered by video surveillance in case a Rockingham County School Board member decides to steal it and replace it with a Vernon Robinson sign.

I think it's important to note the fine print on the bottom of the sign indicates it was paid for by a gay-owned business in Greensboro. Thank you, gay-owned business.

Get off your ass and vote!

Below is a sample ballot for this year's election.  It won't be an exact match for your ballot, but it will be pretty close.  We don't all receive the same ballot.

You will notice Phil Berger is running unopposed for this NC Senate seat.  Eric Fink, the college professor who was trying to get on the ballot by gathering signatures to run against Berger, failed in his effort.  This was as expected - Berger is God.

There will be differences in the NC House of Representatives race and the School Board,  And, there will be a lot of people running for Judge positions whom you've never heard of.

I will be using a totally new strategy for voting.  For the first time ever, I will be voting a nearly straight ticket.  I will not consider whether I know anything about a candidate's record.  If the candidate is a Democrat, he will get my vote.  If a candidate is Republican, he's outta there as far as I am concerned.  There will be a few exceptions, but overall that's my plan.

I will not be voting in some races.   For instance, the NC House of Representatives District 91 - Eugene Russell is a Democrat, but I will not vote for him.  He was the former Rockingham County Attorney for the County Commissioners.  He was incredibly lazy and that was his best quality.

I'm not sure, but I believe Keef Duncan is running for a seat in the other NC House District.  Duncan is a Democrat and he is a Rockingham County Commissioner.  I would not vote for Keef Duncan if he were on my ballot and would not vote for whomever the Republican candidate is.

The NC Commissioner of Insurance - neither Causey or Goodwin will get my vote.  I don't know the Democrat and I won't vote for a Republican, so I'm not voting in that race.

NC Superintendent of Public Instruction - I won't vote in that race.  My cousin, who is an idiot retired teacher with an A&T Masters degree is a big June Atkinson fan.  I can safely assume Democrat Atkinson is an idiot too and I can't vote for Republican Mark Johnson.

NC Court of Appeals Judge - I know Phil Berger, Jr.  He was a disaster as Rockingham County District Attorney and he's a Republican.  I don't know Democrat Linda Stephens, but I will vote for her just to keep Berger out of the seat.

I know nothing about any of the other Judge races, so I won't vote for anybody.

Board of Education District 1 - Amanda Bell is running against Penny Owens.  This is a non-partisan race.  Both candidates have served on the School Board at some point.  One is about as good as the other, which means they are both pretty much useless.  The School Board does whatever the Superintendent tells them to do.  The School Board pretty much works like the Reidsville City Council when Kelly Almond was the City Manager.  Amanda is the incumbent.  I will vote for Penny just to give her a chance to try again - get some new old blood on the board.  

Whoever is on your ballot, I suggest you vote against any School Board incumbent.  The incumbent was likely on the School Board when Wendy Hoover was allowed to steal $20,000+ from the school system's daycare fund.  Wendy was County Commissioner Wink Hoover's daughter.  She got a "Get Out Jail Free" pass. Other incumbents are Ron Price and his acolytes.  Ron stole campaign signs from the roadside and replaced them with his candidate's signs.   He was caught by the Police.  Since stealing the signs, he's been repeatedly re-elected to the School Board.

Pender Grogan is running unopposed for Soil and Water Conservation Supervisor.  Pender is an important person.  I don't know why, but he is legendary in Reidsville.  I will not vote for a legend.

The Rockingham County Commissioners want to increase the sales tax.  This is not the first time the Commissioners have tried to pull this stunt.  Of course I will vote against that increase.

I got a letter from Donald Trump

Click images to enlarge

I guess my secret is out.  Even Presidential nominee Donald Trump now knows it.  He sent me a letter asking me to donate $5,000 to his campaign.  Donald obviously knows I am filthy rich.  He wants my money to help him win the race to the White House.

Jeez!  I thought the guy was a multi-billionaire and he would be paying his own way to the top.  Now he's asking me for money.

It's a thee-page letter, so I won't print it here.

But I am including a survey that accompanied the letter.  I have filled out the survey with all my answers under the Clinton column.

I will return the survey to Donald in the postage paid envelop, and I will not include Donald's request for $15 to pay for the postage.

Sorry, Donald, but you're a rich guy and you said you would be paying for your own campaign.  So, have at it.

The Hardest Working Sheriff in Show Business

He's back at it again.  That's right, Sheriff Sam Page, the Hardest Working Sheriff in Show Business, is appearing in a national Donald Trump TV commercial for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).  San even does part of the voice over for the commercial.

FAIR warns us Obama's immigration policy is the root of all evil and only Donald Trump has the answer to the mess Obama has created.
