Sen. Tillis appeared arrogant and almost threatening that he could join with 3 other Senators and \u201ckill a\nnomination.\u201d While Sen. Tillis acknowledged his great relationship with Pres. Trump, he doubled down on not rubber-stamping the incoming\nPresident\u2019s nominees. Great relationship, eh? That\u2019s some unimpressively obvious double-speak.&nbsp;<\/font><\/span><\/div>                  \n                                      <div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><font face=\"Calibri, Helvetica, Arial,\nsans-serif\"><br>                                                         <\/font><\/span><\/div>                                                       \n <div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><font face=\"Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\">Any seasoned swamp observer\nmight read the Senator\u2019s signals as an indication he is going to \u201cwant something\u201d for his votes. If so, who knows what he might be\nangling for, but you can be sure it\u2019s quite swampy. Looking at November\u2019s election results, perhaps Sen. Tillis should do a better job\nreading the room and conclude that voters would not appreciate him \u201chorse trading\u201d their mandate away, nor would they soon\nforget.&nbsp;<\/font><\/span><\/div>                                                         <div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:\nmedium;\"><font face=\"Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\"><br>                                                         <\/font><\/span><\/div>       \n                                                 <div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><font face=\"Calibri,\nHelvetica, Arial, sans-serif\">President Trump deserves his cabinet!<\/font><\/span><\/strong><\/div>                                                      \n  <div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><font face=\"Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\"><br>                        \n                                <\/font><\/span><\/div>                                                         <div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><font face=\"Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\">By most analyses of the 2024 election results, President Trump was,\nindeed, given a mandate.

He has twice sued Sheriff Garry McFadden on behalf of GRNC\nfor his unconstitutional treatment of gun permitting in Mecklenburg County. Ron is a lifetime member of GRNC, and he is licensed to practice in all NC\nState and Federal Courts. He has helped people all over the state to restore their gun rights, and he frequently represents individuals on appeal for\ndenial of a concealed handgun permit. Ron has proven that he is the &#8220;go-to&#8221; guy when it comes to gun rights in North Carolina.
