Greater Carolina Under Fire | Raleigh News

State investigators are zeroing in on Greater Carolina, a social welfare group tied to a former top state House budget writer, as part of a sweeping probe into possible ethics and lobbying law violations. A July warrant targets bank records from Fidelity, focusing on spending on adult entertainment club owners between 2018 and early 2022 — a period before a controversial Kentucky bourbon tour that sparked public scrutiny. The investigation, now led by the State Bureau of Investigation and coordinated with the District Attorney’s office and the Ethics Commission, reveals suspicious expenses including Panthers games, vacation rentals, and payments to gentlemen’s clubs in South Carolina and Florida — all linked to a credit card tied to the group’s early mission to promote sports betting.

Save A Lot Closures in Chicago | Raleigh News

Six Save A Lot stores in Chicago face closure despite city grants meant to support underserved neighborhoods, revealing a harsh truth: rising prices and shrinking benefits are driving low-income shoppers to discount stores — but not enough to keep them alive. With traffic up but spending down, hundreds of Family Dollar and Dollar Tree locations have shuttered, and Save A Lot’s independent store model — now run by Yellow Banana — is collapsing under the weight of a CEO’s sudden death, SNAP cuts slashing sales by 27%, and rising costs. Save A Lot has cut ties with Yellow Banana and warned of layoffs, while pledging to work with communities to ensure food access isn’t lost in these neighborhoods.

Michelle Wolf’s Cut Trump Joke | Raleigh News

Michelle Wolf reveals a controversial joke about Donald Trump was cut from her Mark Twain Prize performance—just before its Netflix broadcast—after venue staff, tied to Trump’s company, demanded its removal. Wolf, caught between artistic integrity and protecting jobs, reluctantly complied. Though the joke had already leaked, Netflix complied with the venue’s contractual right, not their own censorship. Wolf later clarified Netflix wasn’t responsible, urging fans to stop rumors and reaffirming her support for comedians. It’s a sharp reminder of how corporate power can reshape free speech—even in comedy. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
