Good. Need to get all of them off the road that don't speak and read English, not just truck driver, all of them.

Also in Georgia, they are finding non-citizens on their voter rolls, including this one who has voted 25 times over the last 30 years: thefederalist.com

I wouldnt vote for Kidwell even if John Steed paid me!
He is a lousy representative because in reality he works only to represent his own agenda. What is that agenda? More power I imagine!
I begged for help from him and he didnt lift a finger for me. Eventually he just ghosted me. I guess I was too small to bother with.
*Just say NO to Kidwell.*

Are elected officials like Garris allowed to hold office on this executive committee? This Kidwell character is allowed to bloviate past his allotted times adding little substance while bullying his way through meetings like a bull in a china shop!
It’s time for him to go like Tillis or better yet just change your party affiliation from RINO to democRAT.
Anyone dissenting or questioning, especially Richardson appears to be ignored and stifled in their objections to seemingly parliamentary misdemeanors that are in fact serious transgressions of board etiquette.
Additionally, your committee leader Garris along with ex-officio member Kidwell appear to be attempting to ignore and burry a serious lawsuit. My recommendation is that real
Republicans resign and disown this organization if serious changes are not made especially before their liability is brought the court through this lawsuit.

Darren Armstrong was recruited by ultra-RINO Jimmy Dixon of Duplin County on behalf of liberal RINO senate boss Phil Berger. Dixon is the liberal anti-gun legislator who blocked key gun rights legislation in this legislative session. Berger has been responsible for a long list of liberal legislation from letting men into womens restrooms to the NC Green New Deal to the Obamacare Medicaid expansion to trying to put out NC shrimpers out of business to trying to spread casinos across the state. Anyone who would align with Dixon and Berger is NO CONSERVATIVE. Armstrong also has a history of a big time Marc Basnight Democrat when he lived in Hyde County.

Both Dixon and Berger have sold their souls to the special interests. Dixon is a farmer himself but in this legislative session tried to screw farmers two ways. He tried to put raw milk farmers completely out of business. He also tried to protect a big out of state chemical company which put chemicals they knew caused cancer into farm chemicals from being sued by NC farmers who got cancer from those chemicals. Dixon was willing to stab his own people in the back to play up to the special interests. Beaufort County does NOT need our own version of Jimmy Dixon in the legislature.

Conspiracy theorist were right yet again.
Conspiracy theorist is just someone that knows the truth months or years before the truth is made public.
Until people are held accountable and put in jail, nothing will change. Sadly I don't see anyone actually being held accountable for all the wrong that has been exposed in so many things.

The Hood is right: I was there; the Beaufort County GOP meeting, on December the 18th, was a complete fiasco, and an embarrassment to the local Republican Party, once again, and in every manner possible.

First, why have a political business meeting scheduled before a so-called Christmas party, when the business at hand was not properly broached? Secondly, why spend well over ten thousand dollars on a nonpartisan election, with NO Beaufort County GOP Executive Committee authorization or oversight, then not meet for 3 months during that election season, and then ham handedly attempt to tie a bow on such malfeasance at a planned Christmas Party?

It makes no sense whatsoever, especially when those at the meeting, who took umbrage with such terrible political behavior, were not allowed to speak directly to the issues so boldly recognized and at hand. It truly was not only a political fiasco, but one big ugly mess, and papering over such alleged malfeasance with the trappings of Christmas just made all of these muddled matters so much worse.

The fact that a district judge would have blocked this law for two years shows just what sort of dingbats that Obama and Biden (or at least the Biden autopen) appointed to our courts. They are a threat to democracy.

So, does anyone know what happened today with the Board of Elections meeting? Did any of it involve Councilman Tyre and his real place of residence? I've heard nothing on that.

But nevermind, it doesnt matter because we are doomed! Doomed by stupid govt officials. I'm not being sarcastic, I being literal. These people want to live on your taxpayer money, on top of the hill, and for you bothersome humans to just butt out and leave them in peace to enjoy their elitism. And if they arent all stupid, then they are
totally dishonest to the point that I still say we are DOOMED.
There are no smart people in govt except for Trump's cabinet.
Those new city council members are too new to be judged yet.

But Oh my God, look at Minnesota, California, New York, Great Britain, Australia... we are doomed. I live here, but I am wishing I didnt.
I see stupid people.

Attacks on freedom of speech are becoming endemic in many parts of the world. They are attacks on democracy itself. Without free speech, it is not possible to have democracy. It is frightening to see some of this same stuff being quietly placed in our own institutions.

Gavin Newsom is such a disgusting and stupid politician that I have just now been inspired to give Oil Slick Gavin (formerly a Deatherage original) an even better name; where, on occasion, I will refer to the one that Mr. Trump refers to as "Newscum," as "Handjob" ... Yeah, you read it here first ... But, it won't be the last time I refer to Oil Slick Gavin as "Handjob".

It is just too perfect of a reference point for this incredibly ignorant politician, who possess no reasonable sense of self-awareness.

To quote producer Rick Beato: "Pick up an instrument and learn how to play it. Create, explore and own the rights to your music. With AI, you don't own the rights to your music; it becomes public domain."

There's good and bad in everything BUT AI, being the archaic structure that it is, must remain highly regulated and restricted. If unleashed and used by the general public for everyday life, history is doomed to repeat itself.........again.

There are still idiots advocating for the "advancement" of AI but it hasn't gained the traction they, the "powers that be", thought it would. On one end of the spectrum, AI hasn't been warmly accepted. On the other end, "The Terminator" and "RoboCop" ain't that far off.
