VZ - You are spot on that the Walkers are liberal Democrat infiltrators wearing false "Republican" credentials. Randy regularly votes with the actual Democrats as a county commissioner. Carolyn is the most vocal liberal on the school board, and they have both been working to push other imposters as Republican nominees.longtime Liberal Democrat Mac Hodeges and longime liberal Democrat Monica Davis that they pushed hard in this year's primary.
There are terms for sleazy politicians like the Walkers and their ilk, like Democrats in Drag, Undocumented Democrats, Biden Republicans, or just RINOs. We need to replace them with real Republicans in 2028. With "Republicans" like the Waklers, who even needs Democrats?

I've been pondering the attack on Stacey Davis: There is the Cheeseman, Garris, Kidwell and possible Victory Committee plot for favors part. Lord knows a Victory Committee report to the Executive Committee is long overdue. I know some of the Executive Committee members have important questions for them. They've got a lot of explaining to do across the board. They need to start with this and other bizarre attacks on individuals and then the unauthorized spending.
The other part to this is some of the Republican School Board members themselves, led by Ms. Walker. This trail extends to the County Commission and her liberal husband, too. The ultra-liberal Walkers have been and are becoming even more active in a multitude of Republican Party primary races. I hear Mr. Hodges has changed his registration from Democrat to Republican. I checked. It's true. This is connected to some not-so-secret discussions among RINO school board members that have been overheard. On the other hand, Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Randy are up for re-election in two years themselves. Also, Mr. Dority says he is no longer on the Victory Committee but hangs around as a consultant. Um, um, and Um. Beaufort County conservatives are being assaulted on multiple fronts from non-Democrats. It is disgusting when the local Republican Party provides a staging area for ultra-liberals like Carolyn and Randy Walker to launch their attacks on conservatives. I believe the Victory Committee is hoping to capitalize on the Walker scheming, but I suspect both groups have different ultimate plans for School District 5. What both groups agree on is to get rid of conservative Stacey Davis. Conservatives need to rally around Ms. Davis. She has been a strong leader for District 5 and for all of Beaufort County. Like vampires, the schemers need to be forced into the sunlight.

The special interest money spent in District 79 primary race is a tremendous red flag. It was a very big factor in the Kidwell loss. Probably the biggest factor. Not the only factor though.
A lot of people have been wondering why such a high priority has been put on controlling the Beaufort County GOP. Why did Kidwell work so hard with Ms. Garris to make the party an exclusive party? And maybe that was actually Ms. Garris helping Kidwell with the execution of that task. I suppose they transformed the local party into a political machine, but the price was the destruction of the party in its traditional role. Even bigger than that was the alienation of a group of conservatives that actually appreciated Kidwell's record in Raleigh but felt attacked by his actions at home. Some of that group still voted for Kidwell in the primary - others did not. The other thing was the simultaneous public attack by Kidwell and Garris on Stacey Davis. What was that about? Why were they involved at all? Remember Superintendent Cheeseman immediately released a redacted tape to the press before he even spoke with the Board of Education. In fact, I've found that the Board of Education to this day has never acted on the situation. They finally got to see the unredacted tape well after the fact. That is strange to say the least. In fact, I know several people involved that say this unilateral action by the Superintendent resembles a set up more than anything else. Why did Kidwell and Garris jump into this so quickly? Is there some connection with Cheeseman? Could it be so mundane as a potential political appointment favor to a Victory Committee faction? Perhaps both? One has to wonder. Is it something along this line or something else? Finally, is it something rotten or is it just coincidentally stupid? So many negative things going on in the local Republican Party creates severe weaknesses.

CV: Ahh, she's controlled opposition; that is VERY interesting. She also seems to speak with an "ebonics" flair....very weird. She's definitely trying to play victim BUT.....I think she let a cat outta the bag when talking about the city government going full corporate.
To be honest, it's already corporate......people are just now waking up to it.

John "Sassyattorney" is the wife of the former city manager who beat a hasty retreat when the Sadler machine fell in the last election. From my understanding, she has a law license but does not actually practice law. She has a huge chip on her shoulder over her husband losing the city manager position which paid a nice salary. She resents that GOP involvement in the election that brought down the Sadler machine.

Had an interesting conversation with a cousin of mine this weekend; she, too, is aware of the bizarro nature that encompasses our community. She informed me of a local attorney who is taking some interesting points on to TikTok platform and establishing commentary on the platform.
"SassyAttorney" made two comments, in one of her videos, that I agreed with: 1. Those speaking FOR the County GOP all sound like a bunch of fruit loops. Given what we know and have been able to piece together....I don't think the ol' girl's too far off on that one. 2. Many of those who are talking about "unity" and uncovering the extent of "Sadlergate" aren't really doing that; they're creating theater to hide the fact of them working to corporatise everything. Again.....none of this is tin-foil hat crap that Carmen Sandiago has to figure out; these are points being brought up based off of public knowledge.

I've been researching that executive committee meeting at the private residence last week. According to my reports, the "leadership" is defending the use of the "Victory Committee" and has relegated the actual Executive Committee" to the role of worker bees. Yes, they are out of sync with the actual Republican Party Plan of organization in a very big way.
What do you get when someone allows themselves to be both neutered and lobotomized? Answer: The Beaufort County Republican Party Executive Committee. What do you get when ruling power has been set up by a few persons? An unauthorized oligarchy. That is what has become of the Beaufort County Republican Party.

Truth be Told: You are one of the RINO's who is violating all the rules of the party. The only requirement for participating in the Republican Party is to Register as a Republican.
You think the world revolves around you. sick sick sick.

No, you do not know anything. You do what you always do - make up a false narrative.

Y'all are a hoot. Most of you are responding to yourselves. Many of you have never participated in the local Republican Party. Some of you on the local committee have only attended a few meetings. There is the problem...you are not builders, just destroyers. I know you do not volunteer, help raise money, attend events, or get Republicans elected. Let's face it, you did not support the most conservative candidate on the ballot. You call yourselves the conservative club or citizens for better government? I think not. Quit hating on the Republicans who put in the hours and do the work to get solid Republicans elected. They are not going to stop. Stop the hate and get to work.

Nationally we are hearing of massive fraud in states like California and Minnesota.
Federal and State Funds provided for the health of its citizens is being stolen by the BILLION$. How does this happen? It appears that the Govt GIVES the Money, but NO one is designated as responsible for monitoring how that money is being distributed at the local level. It reminds me of Hood's repeated complaint to his fellow Commissioners who Fund projects but REFUSE to set up any kind of accountability as to where that $$ goes afterwards. It should be a wake-up call for everyone who works in Govt. Trust, but we must verify!! You know why 3rd worlders say white people are stupid? This is the reason. Third Worlders know that if they dont guard their stuff & your rights, someone is going to lie, cheat, and steal to take it. Think locally.

Pirate fan, I do not relish the inter sanctum of politics. However, there are a lot of very improper practices that are keeping the voters of Beaufort County from getting a reduction in taxes. The Beaufort County Republican Party is at the center of a lot of corrupt practices that the public is not aware of. It is not honest to represent yourself as one thing while you are actually doing he opposite.

Thank-you Washingtonian, but Ray Leary was right there by my side in that endeavor, and also provided his truck and some fine conversation as well that day.
I will admit to this one trait of mine: I relish the opportunity to use all manner of inanimate tools in the advancement of all worthy enterprises. The additional hardening of calluses on my hands and fingers is always welcome.

Before the primaries, I saw Commissioner Deatherage out with a post hole digger, installing his own large wooden signs.
I thought any politician willing to work that hard for his own reelection gets my vote. Good Job!

I am in agreement that more needs to be told regarding what is now, and what needs to be soon regarding Beaufort County governing.

There is too much focus on this site of the "inside baseball" of what is going on in the local Republican Party. Voters care about who is going to reduce our taxes and how they are going to get a county commission majority to do that.

"The Ends justify the means."

It appears to me that the local "GOP Party" has adopted the Democrat Party philosophy: "The Ends justify the means."
They double down, because like the Dems, they believe that if they just stick with the plan, they will eventually achieve their goals. Its the Marxist Way. It spreads because our culture is degrading right before our eyes. Think Local!

I know people that were hoping that Kidwell would wake up at this point in time. This meeting situation seems to have answered that situation. He's doubling down with Chairman Garris. They are circling the wagons.
This shameful period needs to end. The Victory Committee needs to be disclosed and disbanded. Restitution should be made. The guilty leaders need to go. Ethical leaders willing to rebuild the party need to be identified. Short of that this trainwreck of outlandishly bad ethics will be the end of a credible Beaufort County Republican Party. One way or the other this version of the local GOP must not continue.

The Local Beaufort County GOP needs to collect what wits it collectively has among the controlling RINOs and RINO Whisperers, and learn what it means to be a successful political party to elect real Republicans.
