Awesome!
They cheated here, too,
and "tricked" the Republicans on a committee in certain rules agreement.
Color me skeptical they were tricked.
Was Cooper legitimately elected?
Love the Lt. Guv!
Yes,
on the last.
Don't know about the rest,
but sounds right.
I do know the Chinese started that sister city crap in NC:
October 5, 1996: The Chinese-American Friendship Association of North Carolina is formed as a non-political and non-profit organization to:
- foster friendship among Chinese and Chinese Americans;
- help members succeed in the American society;
- protect the rights of members;
- promote Sino-American culture, science and technology exchange.
It has an annual chinese new year gala, and conducts Chinese visa and document authentication service.
March, 2009: The Carolina China Council (CCC) was formed as a nonprofit organization registered in North Carolina to promote exchanges between the Carolinas and China to:
1. Promote people-to-people exchanges through the development of sister city relationships;
2. Promote K-12 and college student and teacher exchanges through summer camps, internships, and educational tours;
3. Promote cultural exchanges through performing arts shows;
4. Promote investment and trade through company introductions, organization of trade shows and investment conferences;
5. Facilitate governmental exchanges by organizing and hosting government meetings and visits.
September 29 - October 5, 2019: The Raleigh China Arts Festival opened with the North Carolina Governor's proclamation and a talk by Secretary of State Elaine Marshall. Governor Roy Cooper proclaimed September 29-October 5, 2019 as Carolina China Council and China Arts Festival tenth anniversary week. The opening was held at the Fletcher Opera Theater, Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts with North Carolina and others from the U.S., Chinese, and Italian entertainers. Others involved throughout the years of this exchange since 2009 were (at that time) Governor Bev Purdue, other state officials, and later governors Roy Cooper, Pat McCrory, NC Commerce Secretary Keith Crisco, NC Senator Harris Blake, scores of university professors on board of directors. It has such programs as Sister City programs in Durham Pinehurst and Charlotte, Sister State Program, “Bridge Scholarship” for student and teacher exchanges, NC Chinese Culture Center, NC Chinatown in Morrisville, and International Training Program for Chinese government officials, businesses, and teachers–all part of the ongoing Chinese infiltration through the bribing of office holders and businesses. Keep in mind, it was not yet public the Covid outbreak had already happened in Wuhan this month.
Other interesting NC tidbits:
Roger Clinton, Sr., was in Durham, NC, for a while, and Bill Clinton would drive down from Georgetown on weekends to visit him at the Duke Medical Center after he was ill with cancer, which went into remission.
1973: The Supreme Court took upon itself to legislate at the bench by declaring abortion legal, and just when sterilization laws were being repealed throughout the States. North Carolina ended it in 1973, having been the severest of them by giving their social workers (AKA eugenics forces) the authority to order people to be sterilized.
1997: Sen. Joe Biden became a ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee <SFRC>, a standing committee of the U.S. Senate leading foreign policy legislation and debate in the Senate. The SFRC oversees the funding of foreign aid programs, arm sales to national allies, international treaty negotiations, and diplomatic nominations. The SFRC is a critical U.S. government department that can have a disproportionate effect on its development and position in geopolitics. Any SFRC member would be valuable as an intelligence asset or for swinging policy to a foreign country. BIDEN’s membership came at a critical time for China, when it applied to join the World Trade Organization <WTO>. Membership would enable China to trade more freely with the rest of the world to boost its economic development. It would also enable China’s wealthy politicians and politically connected elite to prosper and profit from the trade boom, money they would later want to invest overseas. During China’s application, BIDEN (as did many other US politicians at the time) supported free-trade legislation that helped China join the WTO. Also relative to USAID:
"In the late 1990’s, Chairman Jesse Helms of North Carolina, and the Committee’s Ranking Member, Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr. of Delaware, together secured enactment of landmark legislation to fundamentally reform the U.S. foreign policy institutions for the post-Cold War world—shutting down two obsolete federal agencies (United States Information Agency (USIA) and Arms Control and Disarmament Agency ACDA)) and merging their functions into the Department of State and bringing a third (United States Agency for International Development (USAID)) under the direct control of the Secretary of State."

And here, mentioned as "AID":

Madeline Albright was Secretary of State from 1997-2001, and USAID was moved over to State in 1998.

In 2001, when China was admitted, BIDEN became SFRC chairman, now holding a position of significant global influence in which he should have acted in the US national interest.
April 30, 2019: North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows announced House Republicans were submitting criminal referrals to Justice against two or three involved with Fusion GPS relative to the Steele Dossier. Meadows also said he was very interested in investigating the eight or nine-day period leading up to Mueller's appointment as special counsel, including Rosenstein's conversation about using the 25th Amendment against Trump to remove him from office and about secretly recording him. Baker testified he took this last suggestion seriously.
In the immediate aftermath of the 2020 election, King & Spalding was criticized for choosing to represent the Trump campaign in a lawsuit in North Carolina seeking to block the state from implementing a rule allowing an extension for the receipt of mail-in ballots. Protesters gathered outside the firm's DC office on November 13, 2020. As it turned out, Trump won North Carolina, making further proceedings by King & Spalding on his behalf in the state moot.
