Thoughts While ShavingHow about the Lady Eagles???? Victorious again as they continue their efforts to win a state 2A championship.  Last night, they defeated Jacksonville Northside 48-31.  Lacey Suggs and Abby Ward had big nights, but lots of support from the entire team.  Their next game will be Saturday in Fayetteville as they attempt to win the NCHSAA 2A Eastern Regional Girls Championship.  Their opponent will be the winner of the North Pitt (27-1) and High Point Andrews (23-6) game scheduled for tonight.  Game time will be announced later.  The Lady Eagles have now won 31 games without a loss.

Donald Trump needs 1,237 for the Republican nomination.  He has 285, Ted Cruz 161, Mario Rubio 87, John Kasich has 25 and Dr. Ben Carson 8.  1,889 remain available.

North Carolina’s primary election is two weeks from today.  Will be interesting to see if the NC votes have any bearing on either candidate securing the nomination.  Could all be over, but could be the deciding factor.  We shall see.

BladenOnline posted huge numbers for February.  Thank you for your continued support.

I have no desire, never had any desire to be a law enforcement officer.  We need good officers and we need to be supportive of their efforts to enforce the law.

Hope you plan to attend the Bladen We Care Gala at The Venue at White Lake and participate in the Golf Tournament at the Vineyard Golf Course near White Lake.   Need tickets for the Gala or an application for the golf tournament?  I just happen to have them or can get them.  Call or email me….910-876-2322 or rgh4612@gmail.com.  The dates are April 8 for the Gala and April 21 for the golf tournament.

I love calling Bladen County home.

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.  Margaret Thatcher

He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything.  That points clearly to a political career.  George Bernard Shaw

The saddest part of the human race is we’re obsessed with this idea of ‘us and them,’ which is really a no-win situation, whether it’s racial, cultural, religious or political.  Dave Mathews
