@dogwoodblooms Whole hog, vinegar sauce. I’m still unconvinced that anything else should be labeled BBQ. Not sure what to call it, but not BBQ.

Let’s debate! North Carolina has two styles of BBQ. ENC style is whole-hog with a vinegar-and-pepper sauce. Lexington style is pork shoulder with a tomato-and-vinegar sauce. My favorite? Whole hog. I can’t help it. I want everything but the oink—and I like it spicy. 🌶️ What’s y’all’s favorite? Non-answers aren’t allowed. And you’ll be sent to the corner if you choose poorly. 💁🏼‍♀️🤣

@dogwoodblooms New debate question for you 😁 Serious question for North Carolina residents… Eastern BBQ or Western BBQ? No neutral answers allowed.

@TheAKGuy @braxton_mccoy @HouseMajPAC They may be kicking a hornet’s nest by attempting to attach @TheAKGuy with his own content. I can’t imagine that anyone who’s actually a serious person can’t see that all of this shit talking is 100% his domain.

@dogwoodblooms Wilmington has always been and will always be home. But it is changing everyday, and mostly not for the better. Our history is deep and worth remembering and celebrating, but it’s being lost in the mire of outsiders. Both of my kids know what Crystal Pier is, and call it as such

I get called a gatekeeper a lot, like it’s a slur. You know what? That’s fair. Because the truth is, I’m not just a gatekeeper when it comes to North Carolina culture… I’m THE gatekeeper. And I’m not ashamed of it. Somewhere around 50% of the people living in North Carolina right now weren’t born here. And that doesn’t even count the second generation—kids born here to parents who moved in from elsewhere. And when that many new folks arrive all at once, something happens. The culture shifts. Our farmland gets carved up into housing developments. Our dialects—the ones that used to mark us as being from a particular county or holler—start mellowing until the non-accent of the Midwest emerges. Our stories get retold by people who didn’t grow up with them. History is lost. And before long, the place you knew starts feeling unfamiliar. Let me be clear—this isn’t about race. This is happening to us ALL. The intolerable changes aren’t knocking on doors and asking if this is a native, black, or white neighborhood before it sweeps in and takes over. What we’re experiencing is cultural gentrification. Whole-hog barbecue joints are replaced with brisket spots. The old general stores and Scotchmans that used to sit on every corner give way to Wawa. Little by little, our edges are being smoothed over. North Carolinians are known for being humble. We don’t brag much.
We don’t shout about who we are. But we’ve stayed quiet too long. And because of it we may wake up one day real soon and realize we’ve lost the very things that made this place home. The accents.
The food.
The stories.
The stubborn little traditions that tie us to one another. So yeah. If that makes me a gatekeeper, I’ll wear that title like a f’n badge of honor. If it convinces just ONE rural NC kid not to shed their twang for some New England teacher, one Gullah family to keep preparing chicken bog, one redneck to buy another camo jacket, one hillbilly to keep making moonshine - or it reaches just a single politician who decides to put locals first? Then it’s worth every bit of the backlash I get. This is North Carolina. And I’m determined to keep it that way. If that offends you? Tough sh*t. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@harveyspistols Rascal knows what time it is, and maybe I could too if I had that watch. The G19 would just be a fun extra

One day, perhaps one day, we will learn the secret of how Rascal finds himself in such far flung locales, be they far flung in space or in time itself! Rascal just sent us a transmission via some device called a vectorstream relay (never seen someone scoff at a new Iphone before) of a great find he scored while exploring some old fortified warehouse in what he describes as a small town overwhelmed by old growth forest. He also said something about robots or machines that were guarding the place but I don't really know. In any case he did indeed find a score for you all! This week's giveaway is a Heckler & Koch 45 Tactical .45ACP! You all know the protocol! FOLLOW US, REPOST OR QUOTE POST, & REPLY! This is how we spread the word of our shop, sales, and promotions! We depend on you to help us spread the word! We would rather give our ads dollars to you than to big marketers! Show us what you've got! Let's share this one far and wide! Goodluck & Godspeed!

@Oilfield_Rando Same. I can look at paint prep, miters on trim, screws in deck boards, and a whole host of others things and tell you what their status is.

Alright, my friends. These first 26 days of 2026 have been a eency weency spicy and not just for us furless critters. Rascal was holding down the fort in an undisclosed location sometime recently and got great use out of a the old 20" standby we lovingly refer to as the M16. He figured you'd appreciate it just as much so he is handing one off to you as well. This week's giveaway (and M16 variant) is a Colt AR-15A4 20" rifle chambered in 5.56nato. To participate please follow (if you do not already), repost or quote post, and give a hearty reply so we can count heads. I may drum up something extra so standby! We at Harvey's DEPEND UPON YOU to help us get the word out at X will not take our money! Thank you for you all do and keep you head on swivel. Goodluck all and have a great week!

Good morning, y’all! All the young’uns are gone after the long birthday weekend and life in the Clark household has returned to normal! And thanks to Craig Reynolds, the podcast is ready on time!! Woohoo! I met with TikTok influencer, Tevin Robinson (Skaterat910), at Hugh McRae Park in Wilmington to talk about his viral videos, growing audience, and feelings about NC transplants. It was a wonderful break from discussing local politics! Just be forewarned: there’s a lot of colorful language. Enjoy!

@TonyGonzales4TX Legitimate question: Are you bribing high schoolers with volunteer hours to help you campaign because you can’t find/retain actual volunteers and staffers?
