The latest smear of Amy Coney Barrett. Plus, Cal Cunningham's affair polls well!

The latest media hit on Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett is a "selectively edited" video from four years ago that purports to show she objected to filling a vacancy during an election year. The video actually shows her arguing the opposite. Also, North Carolina Democratic candidate for US Senate, Cal Cunningham, might need to have MORE affairs, as he saw his poll numbers rise amid the sex scandal that broke open last week.

NC now shares more COVID data - but it's not enough

BLM protesters demand NC Gov veto public records bill... that he asked for

In one of the more hilarious stories about North Carolina politics, Black Lives Matter protesters are "asking" (not demanding) Gov. Roy Cooper veto a bill -- that his administration asked the legislature to adopt. Also, the NC DHHS finally announced a plan to test all staffers at nursing homes.

Can NC adapt to new COVID science & data & facts?

The World Health Organization says asymptomatic spread of the coronavirus is "very rare." But NC officials seem to say otherwise. And while Gov. Cooper recommended yesterday that everyone who marched over the past 10 days be tested, he had not been tested himself. It's beginning to seem like there are at least two set of rules when it comes to battling COVID-19. Subscribe for FREE: https://thepetekalinershow.com/get-the-podcast/ Patreon: https://www.patreo...

New reports raise questions of NC COVID-19 mismanagement

North Carolina is almost last in the US in the number of people it has tested for the COVID-19, despite Gov. Cooper's administration focus on that metric as a key point in deciding when to re-open the state. Also, NC hasn't reported any of it's COVID-19 deaths to the CDC because we're one of the last states to still use a paper system for registering deaths.

NC Legislature kickstarts COVID-19 testing

North Carolina Senate Leader Phil Berger announced $100,000 funding for Wake Forst Baptist Health & Atrium Health's COVID-19 testing research. Reporters didn't seem very interested to hear that the NC Secretary of Health and Human Services has been "resistant to prioritizing sample testing" -- or that Gov. Roy Cooper hasn't spoken with the legislative leaders about his "plan" to re-open the state. Subscribe for FREE: https://thepetekalinershow.com/get-...
