I saw the movie, "Hillbilly Elegy," and I thought the film told a powerful story.

Now that J.D. Vance's political career has the velocity of a rocket, I am in awe of all this man has accomplished, and for all the rightful purposes.

Race is terrible way to judge the attributes of any other human being.

So if I were to drive by my ex-wife's house in Virginia just to see if she's there, for two weeks,that would be surveillance....or stalking?

Surveillance- Close observation of a person or group, especially one under suspicion.

The act of observing or the condition of being observed. Oversight; watch; inspection; supervision

These idiots in the City Government don't have business putting air in a tire. They've screwed their self with a foot long shaft and it's right on going deeper.

It has been reported on this platform that one of our City Council members does NOT even live in Washington.
I wonder if the City police were sent to verify that all the Council members live where they say they live?
Its been reported on WITN at www.witn.com that the police were surveilling Ellen Brabo to verify that she actually lived at the B & B.
Shouldnt the police do the same for Council members?

If someone is defying our immigration laws by being in the country illegally, why would anyone think they would obey our traffic laws??

Corrupt Govts are difficult to prosecute. Because as a City official told me:"It means whatever we say it means."
If it werent for th whistleblower, Brabo wouldnt have a leg to stand on, because the corrupt police would simple say, "we had a suspicion." On any connived suspicion, they could snoop around in her backyard whether it was fenced & locked or not & peek n her windows. They could do internet investigations on her,& even sic the other authorities on her, based on their lying talking-point "suspicions." NC lawyers would refuse to take a case against any police dept based on that fuzzy line w/ police authority. Lawyers cant be trusted, because in order to survive they had had to learn to wk jointly w/ th City,police, D.A.,Judges. They consider your civil rights expendable, but their survival must be protected. Under these conditions, whose word would u as a fellow "official" take? The City cabal, or Brabo's?
Brabo would be up the creek w/out a paddle. part 1, part2 to follow.

Could it be true? Are the Clintons now expendable to the Democratic Socialists?

For the political party that is rife with the hypocrisy of so many chronic corruptions, one has wonder: Who will be next?

The City of Washington is corrupt.

As a county commissioner, I will not grant any county money until the corruption is gone, and all debts to the targeted individuals are settled.

Of course, because of the Center /Left - Left Coalition, it does not really matter about what I do or don't do.

Of course, if the City of Washington would police themselves against their abject corruption, that would be a good thing.

What is scary is that Biden and his autopen were well on the way to doing the same thing here.

What would cut down the backlog even more is to follow the asylum treaties that do not require asylum claims to even be considered when the migrant enters from a safe country. Mexico and Canada are considered safe countries, so all migrants who entered through either of those borders should have their asylum claims summarily dismissed. This is what Hungary does through a very quick procedure in front of a magistrate.

Has anyone filed a complaint about the misuse of our city police force by the mayor with the State Auditor? They should.
