(We all remember how our 2020 election was blemish-free!!)
WASHINGTON,DC – Monday, a New York City court struck down a Democrats’ obscene scheme that would allow over 800,000 non-citizens to vote in New York City elections. Ronna McDaniel, Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, released the following statement:
“This ruling is a huge victory for election integrity and the rule of law: American elections should be decided by American citizens. The RNC is proud to head a broad coalition in successfully challenging this unconstitutional scheme and will continue to lead the effo…

Expert reveals little known ‘Mileage Killers’
‘Drafting’ behind 18-wheelers helps, but kind of risky!
Last week we discussed vehicle tips to help increase your gas mileage. Now that your vehicle’s shortcomings have been examined, let’s talk about driving tips to save fuel.
From 1936 to 1968 (excluding the WWII years) Mobil Gas Company sponsored an Economy Run. Cars and vehicles of all types started in California and drove to New York City. The winner was the vehicle that got the best gas mileage. Remember in those days, cars got about eight to ten miles to the gallon. Of course, gasoline cost only 18 to 22 cents per gallon back then!

The New Outreach Deliverance Ministry
By Bernadette King
NEW BERN – The New Outreach Deliverance Ministry was started in 2003 by Pastor Elizabeth Green. I first met her, and her faithful friend Patricia Davis, along with James Gurganus when I stopped in during 2008.
I was there to help a friend, and had heard that Pastor Green was providing food, clothing, and spiritual counseling to people in Craven, Pamlico, and Jones Counties.
Three years later, after Hurricane Irene struck in 2011, Pastor Green provided food to over 200 families. The New Outreach Deliverance Ministry also does Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway to families from a…
County raids piggy bank by $2.1 million to balance budget
PAMLICO COUNTY– The vote Monday night to approve a $23 million budget for the next fiscal year was unanimous, and avoided any increase in the ad valorem property tax rate. However, two commissioners – Candy Bohmert and Missy Baskervill, suggested tapping savings is not the best way to close a gap between county revenues and expenses.
“I am not happy with this budget pulling well over $2 million to fund (the deficit),” said Bohmert. “We need to make people aware that this is not something good for us. I feel like I am walking on hot rocks on this one (budget).”
Both Bohmert and Baskervill alluded t…

Regional agency welcomes new Executive Director
NEW BERN – The collective sigh of relief was almost palpable Thursday evening, June 9, as 20 or so elected officials – from a nine county area – met David Bone, a veteran of North Carolina county and town governments, recently hired by the Eastern Carolina Council of Governments (ECC) as the agency’s Executive Director.
In recent years, ECC has seen a litany of travails, which culminated in July of 2021 with the abrupt firing of a previous executive director, and the equally abrupt resignation of its contracted law firm.
During a brief presentation, Bone came across as knowledgeable, capable,…

Expert shares tips for more miles per gallon!
With unleaded gas prices pushing five dollars a gallon and headed higher with no end in sight, this is a great time to examine fuel saving methods. Some actions will yield significant savings while others less so. However, lots of small actions will make measurable savings too. This article outlines vehicle tips to increase your gas mileage.
1. A dirty vehicle has measurable fuel economy loss. You particularly need to keep your vehicle clean on the outside when traveling at speeds over 50 mph. Clean mud out of the wheel wells. That extra weight affects the gas mileage. Be sure the en…

Act of kindness & booklet renew sick man’s faith. Healing follows quickly!
GRANTSBORO – On Dec. 10 of last year, Jerry Casey turned the lock of a small closet-like office at his used car lot on the corner of Hwy. 55 and Hwy. 306. He remembers thinking to himself “This is enough,” with the implication being that he did not expect to return. A prostate problem and related bladder ailment were not responding to prescribed medication.
“I was taking some pretty strong medicine,” said Casey, “and I really should have had someone with me when I started taking another type of prescription.”
As it turned out, Casey spent all of Christmas and New Year’s by himself – alone in his home.…
