🚨NC crime stats for 2023 were released quietly some time last week, and it seems clear why the numbers were posted with little fanfare. #ncpol

Crime went up statewide, and up DOUBLE DIGITS in NC's urban centers.

Let's look at some of the numbers...🧵

ncsbi.gov/Services/Crime… Start with car jackings.🚗

From 2022 to 2023, car jackings in North Carolina jumped more than 38%.

Look at suburban Cary, NC, for instance. In 2022, there were 126 motor vehicle thefts.

In 2023, there were 306 — a 143% INCREASE. Image

Ladder-climbing TikTok influencer Jeff Jackson (he/him) has been running for statewide office for nearly a decade.

In 2016, he said he was “seriously considering” a run for U.S. Senate.

In 2018 there was no election for U.S. Senate, otherwise Jackson surely would’ve thrust himself into the spotlight. In 2020, Jackson tried to run for U.S. Senate again before failing out. Here's what the conversation with Schumer probably looked like:

.@JuliaMCoin, your @theobserver profile yesterday of Jeff Jackson contains an error. You wrote:

"Under North Carolina’s constitution, Jackson could not work in the district attorney’s office and be a state senator. So, he stepped into private practice in 2014 at the law firm Womble Bond Dickinson. There, he worked on a few civil cases, representing Wells Fargo when it was a defendant in an insurance case; a man who was owed money from Holly Springs and its town manager; and a woman asking for a divorce, according to court records." (Emphasis added.)

Actually, it's even more pitiful. Two of those cases predated Jeff's move to Womble in 2014. He filed the (uncontested) divorce case in 2010 and the money-owed case against the Holly Springs town manager in 2013. So, "there" (i.e. in his eight years at Womble), state court records show that he "worked on" ONE case, not these "few."

Screenshots from the online, publicly accessible court records are posted below.

🧵 THREAD:
Jeff says, “This job is not really intended to be an entry level position.”

He’s correct, and that’s why he’s unsuited to be #NCAG.

Let’s see why …

🧵1/Despite Democrats having to pay legal fees for frivolous interference with the Green Party's ballot access in 2022, Democrats appear to be using their control of the State Elections Board to run the same playbook against the parties supporting Cornell West and RFK Jr. #ncpol 2/After stalling the Green Party's petition for recognition in 2022 on fatuous grounds, the NCSBE's Democrats finally voted approval with a federal court breathing down their neck and then pivoted to trying (unsuccessfully) to block the GP presidential candidate from the ballot.

1/I listened to the entire SCOTUS argument in the CO Trump iNsuRrECtion case. Not one question from any Justice on:

1. the definition of "insurrection" in Amdt 14, § 3 and how to distinguish it from riot;

2. what it means to "engage" in insurrection on facts of the case; ... or 2/
 3. how to reconcile those issues with incitement doctrine under 1A per Brandenburg.

This almost certainly foreshadows that the Court will not reach the merits but will reverse 9-0 on a threshold issue, i.e. (a) is § 3 self-executing, ...

Good question. Notice that the CO court did not ONLY stay its ruling until January 4: “If review is sought in the [US] Supreme Court …, then the stay shall remain in place … until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court.” So, … /1 Trump will appeal. If SCOTUS applies ordinary months-long process, the order will not take effect and Trump will appear on the state primary ballot. SCOTUS might then be able to dismiss the appeal as moot without deciding.

Why would the CO court issue an intentionally toothless order? Hmm. /2

I read all 213 pages of opinions in the Colorado Supreme Court ruling excluding President Trump from the ballot. SCOTUS will reverse, but this parody of judicial decisionmaking is a frightening sign how far gone our judiciary is. Court is all Democrat appointees; split 4-3. /1 Some credit due to dissenting Justice Samour for calling out the "procedural Frankenstein" of the lower court process ... a "summary proceeding" for simple challenges to residency, age, etc. qualifications, which statute mandates to be resolved within a week of filing. /2

1/Updating Dem efforts to green light absentee-ballot fraud in NC:

Sept 30 (review) - Federal Judge Osteen’s order observes that State Elections Board “settlement” “has eliminated the one-witness requirement under the guise of compliance with this court’s order.” #ncpol 2/As background, Judge Osteen has presided since May 22 over suit attacking antifraud protections for absentee ballots. On Aug 4, Osteen issued a 188-page order largely upholding procedures the legislature modified on Jun 12, including the witness requirement.
