Former Attorney General Eric Holder said on Sunday that a possible conviction of former President Trump, if he’s elected to a second term as president in 2024, would lead to an impeachment proceeding and him being eventually removed from office. Holder told Psaki. “At that point, I would hope that it impeachment proceeding might be considered. Not only considered, brought. And, ultimately, he would be moved from office.” In other words create an element of doubt.
Is this the design of these current charges by the Democrats...to have an impact on the upcoming Presidential election to their favor?

One must ask why have hundreds of professors at the University of North Carolina signed a public letter last week opposing legislation that would require students to take courses on America’s government and founding documents.

Interested in Becoming a Mason?

There is no singular definition of Freemasonry. Freemasonry is many different things to each man who joins the fraternity. For some it is a place to make friends and acquaintances. For others it is a place to engage in introspection or discuss philosophy. And, for others it is a place to practice charity and goodwill. Through each of these endeavors--and countless more Freemasonry seeks to unite good men of all backgrounds and make them better husbands, fathers, and citizens by encouraging and cultivating friendship, morality, and brotherly love. Why will you join?

Masonic Charities
Charity is the byproduct of Freemasonry in practice.

In 1772 Masonic philosopher William Preston wrote, “To relieve the distressed is a duty incumbent on all men, but particularly on Freemasons, who are linked together by an indissoluble chain of sincere affection. To soothe the unhappy, to sympathize with their misfortunes, to compassionate their miseries, and to restore peace to their troubled minds, is the great aim we have in view. On this basis we form our friendships and establish our connections.”

That principle is as important today as it was 240 years ago. Freemasonry in North Carolina extends to hundreds of worthy causes and quietly benefits thousands through fundraisers, blood drives, scholarship grants, and even personal phone calls and front porch visits—charity manifests itself in many forms.

In addition to the many local charities sponsored by local lodges across the state, the Grand Lodge of North Carolina supports two charities in particular—the Masonic Home for Children at Oxford and WhiteStone: A Masonic and Eastern Star Community in Greensboro.
