Can our collective strength overcome the divisive squabbles that threaten to tear us apart? This week's NHC GOP Podcast illuminates an allegory of unity with chilling relevance to today's political landscape.  As the clock ticks down to the pivotal moment on November 5th, 2024, we're reminded that the true battle lies beyond petty disagreements, in the voting booths where our united front against high taxes, energy dependence, and the erosion of American values must hold strong.

President Biden and the Democrat Party have now made it abundantly clear that they are no longer the party of the working class.

Welcome to the NHC GOP Podcast Friday update, I am Reuel Sample.

The people who get stuck with the bill?  The working class – supposedly those who the Democrats promise to work form.  Those who never went to college, those who went into the trades, those who enlisted in the military to serve our country, those who went to college and paid off their debts, high schoolers getting their first jobs – in short – all tax payers will have to foot the bill for the President’s obvious vote-buying move.  And it is not just today’s workers on the hook.  This bill becomes part of our national debt that will take generations to pay down.

The problem – of course – is that student loans are not actually canceled.   The Federal Government merely guarantees the student loans – it does not actually lend the money.  Students receive their loans through private institutions who are more than happy to make the offer – because these banks and lending institutions know that they will get their money back no matter what – either through the student who supposedly promised to repay the loan or through the Federal Government.

Children's minds are an incredible thing.  They take in and process and incredible amount of data from the time they are born.  They learn languages, social skills, and motor skills in an amazingly short period of time. 

Democrats want to use the minds of our children to fill them up with the garbage of anti-Americanism, sexual dysphoria, and the idea that the family is no longer needed.

If you value the minds of children, if you want them to grow up to be educated and not indoctrinated, if you want kids to be protected from open displays of sexuality and lewdness - why in the world would you vote Democrat?

The courts are starting to respond to Republican influence.  At the Supreme Court level, the left has lost several cases that in prior years would have been written off as insurmountable for conservatives.  From the Dobbs v Jackson case that returned the issue of abortion back to the states to the ruling in Students for Fair Admission V Harvard in which the court decided that race-based admissions are against the constitution, Republicans have won significant cases in a court system that previously was highly stacked against them.

In Louisiana, a Federal Judge issued an injunction that restricted the the administration from meeting and communicating with social media companies in response to a lawsuit brought on by attorneys-general in Louisiana and Missouri.  The lawsuit says that the White House went too far in encouraging Twitter, Facebook and other outlets to muzzle free speech in regards to COVID and the elections.

Here at home, the Republican controlled North Carolina Supreme Court restored voter ID laws that were passed by the legislature, struck down improper redistricting, and restricted voting by people with felony convictions.  These three rulings will help ensure elections in our state are fair and according NC Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger quote “cannot be exploited to fit the political whims of left wing Democrats.”

In a time where we see the results of the radical left’s invasion and almost total control of education and the media, these victories are almost miraculous.  And they should give hope to Republicans that the process can work – but only if we stay involved.

On today's Friday Update, Reuel Sample from the New Hanover County Republican Party discusses the very clear multi-tiered justice system in this country.  If you are are rich - or if you are ideologically or politically on the left - at times it appears the justice system does not apply to you at all.  Conservatives on the other hand face scrutiny at all levels - and are subjected to  a system clearly skewed against them.
