Your Rep in the US house Mark Harris spoke in support of An officer safety by data act in Congress yesterday.
During his comments Mark claimed many things about the necessity of the Act. He also claimed to be a preacher of the word. The people need to remind Mark he may not serve two masters. That fact comes straight from the Book of Mathew. Thus he should know better. His support of the bill has more to do with satisfying his big tech donors than serving the people of North Carolina of God. He is very bit as two tongued as Saxby Chambliss ( Georgia) was in his time. Big tech has proven incapable of providing safety to the people. Convenience yes but not safety. The people of North Carolina need to see through his faced and polished look and pay head to Mathew 6:24.

Mr. Tillis needs be told to find another job by the people of NC. It’s one thing to protest in DC and do some violence upon the oppressors but quite another to direct protests and violence against private parties who had little to do with the creating of oppression.
The attacks upon Mr. Musk’s cars and properties are a prime example of misplaced attacks by the progressive left. Mr Tillis’s(R-NC) rejection of The Don’ s nominee for the DC AG job is an example of RINOism getting in the way of those interested the restoration of constitutional discipline which has in part be over run by technocrats of database driven enterprise variety. A brief review of Mr. Tillis’s history reveals a stint with Wang laboratories (in Massachusetts) a GLOBAL database driven enterprise. It appears ( IMO) Mr. Tillis isn’t on board with the America First agenda. The people of NC need to be made aware of this fact. In the last presidential election Massachusetts went for the weakest candidate in American history. It’s beyond me why Mr. Durbin (IL) didn’t get the Ds nod after Biden. Too White and too Male, I presume. Obviously, he had Party seniority.

Is there a reality where second chances exist? Not really. Even if the second is lived, it remains influenced by the first. There is no going back. A person can move on to the next opportunity, but that’s not going back. Consider the exonerated sex offender who has by none of his own wrong doing been convicted of a sex crime and done 20 yrs.(See Mr. Gillespie of OH, 2022). Is Mr. Gillispie getting a second chance thru his exoneration?
No. The point of sound governance is the administration of fair trials in the first case; and to do so every time. His case is an example of pure failure of the highest order. He is not alone. Now, I recognize the authors own recognition of need, but because he uses the generic term he falls short in appealing to reason. He accurately points to barriers, and when he does he refers to bars. It’s difficult argue to the people that sometimes barriers are not important. Thus on balance the detrimental aspects to the general welfare the bars created for the returning individual both hold him back, but create a directed determination and positive focus. ( Part of criminal thinking is the negativity in victim’s stance.) Thus his second chance is directly affected by his first. That’s partly the advantage
State’s standard waiver of civil rights used in pleas- – unchallengable defense to civil bars post conviction. Because so many sign the document a culture of surrendering to the political class is fomented among the people with criminal convictions. The resentment among them is palatable and is reflected by the man who gains popularity and political support with every new indictment. Thru the flak rise the strong!
