North Carolina should view this as addition through subtraction.

Wow, that she can focus on such other issues, obviously they must’ve solved all of the big problems in Baltimore.

North Carolina and Mississippi retaliate by banning government travel to Baltimore and to Mogadishu.

Me thinks if one were to trace the origin of her actions against N.C. one would eventually arrive at 1600 Penn. Ave...............just a guess.

Good. Government employee travel is one of the biggest swindles ever. Make a phone call, send an email ...

Fewer junkets for the employees saves the taxpayer money ... or at least causes the employees to spend what they’ve stolen in the local area.

Its funny, with all the real issues and problems we have in the US, the Democrats are handcuffed to forcing crossdressers into the ladies restrooms. Crazy Democrats

Meanwhile the sane part of the rest of the US has banned tourist travel to Baltimore for personal safety reasons.
