@BlueCartel982 @Jess_inthewild I lived in PA for nearly 30 years and they would do it periodically. Usually put a blurb in the newspaper first. Years ago it went through the courts and they laid down the procedures to make it legal.

@SSMcLean59 @Jess_inthewild Lived up here all my life and never once been stopped and had people check my license lmao hell the only thing close to this I can think of is DUI checkpoints by beaches on July 4th or mem day, but that isn’t what they’re talking ab here

Hey uh so is it normal for North Carolina to have “license checkpoints” where they stop all traffic to check for drivers licenses???? Cop said “oh just a regular checking station” sir wdym REGULAR ????

@BlueCartel982 @Jess_inthewild They do it in the Northern States also - where Freedom was invented lol

@Jess_inthewild Ah good old southern “freedom”😭😭😭

@Jess_inthewild Yep. Definitely a thing. They usually announce it in the local press and/or social media

@YankeePhish72 @3YearLetterman 😉

@3YearLetterman This IS satire, right? This idiot’s broken all 10 commandments. Idolatry, using the lords name in vain, killed many, thinks he’s a god, plays golf on sabbath, lie!, steal! Covet-kissing Putin’s ass. Asking cult members to put hands on you in a prayer circle is the opposite🤮🇺🇸

This is a very moving and reverent moment in American history. Absolutely no American president has ever loved or read the Bible as much as Trump, so he deserves this Jesus, himself a great American who literally wrote the Bible, would be honored

@AbusedPoet @lady_valor_07 I bet you do that when pay day comes and your boss says thanks but I’m cutting your pay 12%.

@edpear @TrumpDailyPosts 1967. Maybe he has no idea what year it is.

@TrumpDailyPosts Ignorant! No usa bases nor any USA soldiers in France since De Gaulle!

France and Italy are next

@ItsStaci77 @atrupar They don’t. So he ‘co-wrote’ a book in order to do press. Disgusting.

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch was on Fox & Friends this morning

@cmclymer @Lis_Smith Ahem, you were raised with a TV

@Lis_Smith I respectfully disagree. Yeah, I don't have kids, sure, but it feels like common sense that we were all raised without screens, and thus, it would follow that it's not only possible but quite feasible to do it. If that makes me an asshole, I'm at peace with that.

“Parenting is hard etc” from someone who doesn’t have to do it is a wild way to start a sermon. Parenting is hard, period. Screen time is often a last resort for families. The last thing moms need is judgmental commentary from the childless peanut gallery.

@connorp864 @CedarPosts Say that about DC. Nobody in DC is from DC….and yet.

@CedarPosts Charlotte won’t sustain an MLB team because nobody in Charlotte is from Charlotte. How do you create fandom in a market where everybody is a fan of the team of the city they moved from?

There’s no way given the demographics of Charlotte the degradation of uptown and current infrastructure and elected leadership of Charlotte that we could support 81 homes games each season.

@CedarPosts Compare and contrast treat your statement with the degradation of SE DC when the Washington Nationals came to town and the ‘condition’ of SE DC today. 5 pages , single spaced.

@Riley_Gaines_ Rich people who don’t know how insurance works lol

It's been 7 months since we had our baby and we're still receiving unexplained hospital bills in the mail. Hardly ever an adequate description of services. Just a QR code to pay online. It feels intentionally confusing and difficult to get answers. We want price transparency.

@michaelmina_lab @ATabarrok Any idea what an influenza outbreak on a submarine would look like?

@ATabarrok Why is discarding a “mandatory” flu vaccine a sad day? I don’t see this as blocking flu vaccines of our warfighters… but just removal of the mandatory part.

The US Military has a proud history of vaccine development: adenovirus, Japanese encephalitis, hepatitis A, rubella and huge support for Operation Warp Speed. Indeed, General Washington inoculated troops against smallpox before it was cool. Sad day.

@spencernusbaum_ We got it on FUBO before and get it on FUBO now. Nothings changed. We really like FUBO they offer a lot of sports and the connections are great

It's been about a month since I first asked you all about your experience w/ the Nats' new streaming and cable options. Following up: How are you watching games now? How has it changed, if at all, from past years or even from Opening Day? Let me know: nytimes.com/athletic/mlb/g…

@cmclymer The VP is out of the country - conveniently.

Trump can only be removed under the 25th Amendment with the actions of this Republican vice president, this Republican cabinet, and this Republican-controlled Congress. So, if you're asking what Democrats are doing today, I'm not sure you understand how this all works.

@RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 I think that Geno is the best WCBB coach in history, next to Dawn Staley. And he knows it.

Dear Basketball Fans, this is a safe space. What do you think about Geno Auriemma skipping the post game handshake with Dawn Staley after UConn lost to South Carolina?

@RealRyanNichols Another J6er who should still be in jail and definitely should not have been pardoned. Also James is a POS. Team Bonnie!

This is the video of the interaction that happened at my home on July 13, 2025. I showed up to my home to try and talk with my at that time, wife and see my children. As the text messages and evidence will show in later on filings, I came back to my residence multiple times to try and work things out with Bonnie for the better of our children and family. When I showed up, Bonnie was not there. Her mom was always more than welcome to be there. Her mom lived with us for a while, until I came home after being pardoned. When I got home, she wanted her own space, so we got Lisa her own apartment in Longview, Texas. She had separated from James because he drank all day and would become violent towards her. Before I came home, Lisa got a black eye in my garage from James. So it was a no-brainer for me to either leave her living in my house or get her an apartment in Longview close to us. She insisted on not going back to Oklahoma to live with James, she didn’t want to go to Houston and live with James. Her grandkids were here, her job was here, and she did not want to go anywhere. So we made that happen, and I paid for that out of my own back pocket. That’s the house Lisa is referring to in this video, which is why she has to refer to it as “my” or hers - that’s noticed with her, distinguishing her property, her house, and not their house or our house. ——— but let’s rewind for a second for more context. The day that I announced my run for Congress, James and Bonnie got into a huge fight, she asked me to handle it, I went to go speak with James at Lisa’s residence that I was paying for, James pulled a knife and sliced my neck. The next morning, Bonnie and I got into a huge argument, I asked her if she was going to help me, her answers showed me that she was not. I was already discovering financial wrongdoing, I knew about infidelity, her mother and father are alcoholics and drug addicts, and you can tell that by James slurring all throughout this video. And you’ll notice throughout this video that James tells me multiple times that it’s no longer my house, it’s his daughter’s house - referring to Bonnie. What I didn’t know, is that he really meant that, because Bonnie had taken my power of attorney without my knowledge, signed over all of our assets into her name only, closed Wholesale Universe, Inc., opened Wholesale Universe, LLC in her name only, locked me out of all the bank accounts, then went to an attorney (who am I fully intend on talking about later) and filed for divorce and a restraining order using a false statement of facts, thus committing perjury. Furthermore, you’ll hear James admitting to putting a knife to my throat and blaming me for him doing that. He calls me “lucky”, as if I should be lucky to be sliced and attempted to be killed by my father-in-law. ——————— As soon as this video is over, I called 911, and an officer came out immediately. I will post the rest of the videos of this interaction in the comment section, including when the officer showed up, pulled the gun out, and started questioning him. This is not just a case of an old man grabbing at a gun. James had already tried to kill me once, and that’s why I had to leave. On July 13, 2025, I discovered in the house that day binders and folders that Bonnie had of businesses that I had never heard of. Things like widespread holdings LLC, among others who were opened in 2021, 2022, 2023 and so on. Businesses that were running my money through them, but I was never made privy to. I’ll show you the pictures of that information down below. That’s how I became aware fully with proof that my money had been stolen and fraud had been committed against me. I revoked my power of attorney from Bonnie by text message the very next day. The day after that she started selling assets. I’ve played this all out on my website, but I will be updating it today and tomorrow and adding everything about this case.

@ForwardCarolina @donaldbryson Of course it is. Just wait until a county or school district wants to build a new school or a new football field and the STATE tells them they cannot. People - even homeowners - do not understand local government and local taxation.

@donaldbryson But it is, very obviously, stripping local control though, right?

North Carolina has never been a home rule state—counties & cities exist at the pleasure of the General Assembly. Voters will decide: this property tax levy limit is headed to a statewide constitutional amendment on the 2026 ballot. If locals want to exceed the limit? The proposal requires a direct referendum back to county voters. Latest @CarolinaJournal poll (March 2026): 73% of likely NC voters support the amendment limiting property tax increases. (Only 12% oppose.) This isn’t “stripping local control.” It’s the General Assembly exercising its well-established legislative authority to impose common-sense guardrails + real taxpayer accountability on runaway property taxes. #NCGA #ncpol

@andrewtabs @spencernusbaum_ Nats hasn’t been on YouTube tv for a couple of years. We switched to FUBO.

@spencernusbaum_ not on youtubetv 😡

One more bat signal here: If you're a Nationals fan who had trouble watching the game today, reply to this and make sure you're following me, and I'll try to get to you via DMs. Want to make sure I've got all your perspectives on what went awry. Seems to be a lot of issues.

@spencernusbaum_ FUBO - and it worked great!!

@mattvanswol When people stopped having so many kids. When I was growing up there were kids everywhere and it was normal to have 4-6 kids. Now folks are having 0-2 kids and people think they should act like adults.

I don't know about you, but I've been seeing just a general disregard for kids in society. >Not stopping for school busses >Refusing to let families with kids into restaurants >Getting angry when kids are just being kids in public When did this start happening?
