With the constant barrage of Negative Reporting on Donald Trump, a casual observer might conclude that he accomplished very little during his 4 years as our President, but as newsman and political activist Mark Patricks pointed out last week, he accomplished a lot.
A second stimulus check was approved on Sunday as part of a $900 billion dollar bill. The $600 one-time payment will be sent to those eligible based on their 2019 reported income. The amount of the one-time payment depends on the income of the household. President Trump disagreed with the amount of the one-time payment, and instead recommended the amount of $2000 as a direct payment to eligible individuals. On Monday, the House of Representatives passed a measure to increase the stimulus checks to $2000. On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader McConnell blocked a bid to unanimously pass the $2000 stimulus check without a vote, and then also blocked allowing a vote to be brought to the floor on Wednesday though he did say the $2000 stimulus check was his focus.
North Carolina, like most of the country, has become increasingly polarized in our political thinking and behavior. But what does that really mean? Well, we know it doesn’t mean that all North Carolinians are so rigidly partisan they support only candidates of one major party or the other.

China's release of the coronavirus may have been more deliberate than accidental. Folks, at the very least we should hold China accountable for this horrendous assault, and insist that Wuhan Province be closed. What China has done is equivalent to a declaration of war, and it must not go unpunished.
The impeachment charade on Thursday of last week featuring four "so-called "Constitutional Scholars was really painful to watch. These four were unanimous in one thing - they all hate President Trump.
I believe that we are on the verge of witnessing the "outing" and dismantling of the most extensive effort ever conducted by a group of "insiders" to conduct a Coup to overthrow the duly elected President of the United States by any means necessary.
If the anti-Trumpers really want to impeach President Trump they should at the very least start by holding a vote in the U.S. House.
Something to think about: blessed are the flexible for they are not easily bent out of shape. In last week's column, I talked about the Impeachment situation, and I want to add a few thoughts to that today.
No President in history has had to endure the intense scrutiny and hatred that President Trump has endured, leading now to calls for his impeachment. There has been a constant drumbeat, with his enemies "creating" crisis after crisis with lie after lie.
