Comments for Heartburn at the Beaufort County School Board | Eastern NC Now

Stan - Your firm's situation is just one more example of the warped politics in this county that ultimately works against the public interest. One would hope that public officials would place the public as a higher priority. That's not the case in Beaufort County. The priority here is petty personal grievances and petty public weaponization by public officials and bureaucrats. It's worse than childish. Unfortunately, we've got all that before we even get to the outright unpunished fraud.

It's called reality, Bobbie, something you would never understand.

That's right. Ron did teach at Snowden. I think it was his first job in education.

Stan - the political hatchet job that Cheeseman connived with Frankie Waters to cut your firm out of the school website contract and give it to an out of state company at a much higher cost to our taxpayers was disgraceful, as were the Cheeseman flunkies on the school board who went along with it. It is just one more reason Cheeseman needs to GO,

Sadly, that is just one of the contracts where Cheeseman has cut out local people and sent school contracts out of the county at a higher cost. Wonder what he gets in return?

Van Zant: When we did work for the school system, everything we did was far better than what they have now under the current administration. We have well analyzed the situation; compared and contrasted to perfection, including ADA compliance.

I hope Mr. Hickman is reading this, so he can try to make a difference with a new school board.

Whataboutism doesn’t change the fact DT went to make a campaign video. Against the law.

Is eliminating the Aurora school part of Cheeseman's campaign against community schools and trying to put everyone in mega-schools? Yes it does seem very odd that this part of the discussion would be censored by eliminating the sound. I still wonder where the rest of the students for his Washington Elementary mega-school will come from, Bath or CHocowinity? We need more school board members who are not Cheeseman sock puppets. Is his gambit to close Aurora, bus those kids to Chocowinity, allowing him to then bus some of the Chocowinity kids to help fill his Washington mega-school?

There is a clear difference on who respected our fallen soldiers from the Biden-Harris botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Biden disrespected them from the very beginning and was MIA on this anniversary of their sacrafice, as was Harris. Trump gave them the respect they deserved. Military families understand that even if whoever writes your crazy talking points does not. The families of these fallen soldiers get it and so do the wider range of military families. You clearly don't. All the military families I know are voting for Trump.

The families that put on the memorial service were happy that the photographers were there to record the event. That crap from the NPR dude who claimed Trump almost got in a fight was lying through his teeth and that claim has been debunked. That is all too typical of Nutty Progressive Radio.

The families who lost their loved ones to the Biden-Harris botched withdrawal from Afghanistan were pleased that Trump participated and not please that neither Biden nor Harris even mentioned their sacrafice in so much as a press release. They completely ignored the anniversay.

When it comes to respecing the dead, it was Trump that did so and Biden and Harris who did not. Heck when the bodies first landed in the US from Afghanistan, Biden repearedly kept looking at his watch while the coffins were unleaded. How more disrespectful can one get?

The left's talking points put an absolutely ridiculous spin on this event, that any discussion with the families involved would totally debunk. Many of those family members even attended the Republican National Convention because they know which party has our servicemen's back, and it is NOT the Biden-Harris circus.

When "rules" are being interpreted by someone who is responsible to a poitical appointee on the other side, like our woke joke of a Defense Secretary, that interpretation is likely to be bogus. Also, you may be relying on the debunked version put out by someone at National Progressive Radio (NPR).

Biden and Harris did nothing to honor our soldiers who were killed in their badly botched Afghanistan withdrawal and they were not happy that Trump and Vance chose to honor them on the anniversary of their deaths. Harris was the last person who talked to Biden about Afghanistan before he made his diastrous decision, which also encouraged Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The place has rules. MAGA can’t even visit ANC without getting in a fight. Is that what you want for a school board? If so, knock yourself out.
Captain Bone Spurs and his followers can’t govern. Vote republican.
