The race for the North Carolina U.S. Senate seat is now set. And, once again, the first headline we see pertains to the amount of money that will be pumped into this contest.
The first “big” headline stated that Roy Cooper had set a record in raising over $3 million in the first 24 hours. Wow! Give me a break. Anyone who thinks that amount of money was committed in just the first 24 hours has the intelligence of a railroad rock.
That money, and much more, has been earmarked for a long time by the left-wing ultra-liberals who want North Carolina to be like California. They want to turn North Carolina into California’s East Coast twin sister. North Carolina is most assuredly at the tip of the spear aimed at the heart of the traditional values that have made America the greatest nation on this earth.
Those liberal leaders are very smart, but they are also very devilish, power-hungry men. Their greed for money and power has blinded them from any ability to support our founding principles. They don’t feel or heed the promptings from any sources of good influence. The Commanders of today’s Democrat Party have picked Roy Cooper to help them continue destroying traditional American values.
Former Governor Cooper presents an image of one of the “good ‘ol boys” down at the country store. That image has been groomed very well for many years now. His actual record tells a different story.
I am reminded of an old adage that gives good advice: “Don’t fear the enemies who attack you, fear the fake friends that hug you.” Misguided ambition has ruined many good men. Former Governor Cooper has almost perfected the critical art of “keeping his head down.” He does not make rush statements. He has been very successful in disguising many of his actions in a matter-of-fact way that doesn’t pour raw fuel on the fire.
He understands that starting fires that smolder over time can be more effective than noticeable, high-rising flames seen from far away. Over the long haul, as governor and as attorney general, he has supported policies more by inaction than by overt action. Southern border policies, sanctuary city policies, men playing in women’s sports issues, same sex marriage issues, marijuana issues, and, very importantly, his lukewarm attitude regarding our Right to Farm laws come to mind.
Michael Whatley is the current frontrunner for the Republican Party’s pick to run for this critically important U.S. Senate seat. He is also the number one pick of the leader of the national Republican Party, President Donald J. Trump.
So, who do we want our next U.S. Senator to be loyal to? That may be the perfect question for us to ask ourselves as we decide who to vote for in the November 2026 U.S. Senate race. Well, I think the answer to that question is clear to the people of North Carolina.
On the one hand, who will Roy Cooper be absolutely lock-step loyal to? Answer; whoever rules the Democrat Party and controls the money machine. The current choices for Cooper to follow are: Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, or Gavin Newsom.
On the other hand, Michael Whatley’s choices to follow are: President Donald Trump, Vice President J. D. Vance, Senator John Thune, Senator Ted Budd, and Speaker Mike Johnson.
We, the people must understand that who a freshman senator will follow is the most important factor to consider as we cast our vote.
Rep. Jimmy Dixon represents Duplin and Wayne counties in the N.C. House of Representatives.
