Glad to hear from our Bath Parent that all kids in Beaufort County are learning Cursive. Wonder if we could get some help for the 65% of our students who are not at Math and reading Level? How are we doing on multiplication tables? I bet they know a lot about DEI. A little help with real American History would be good too.

Electric rates are rising from RINOs, too like Thom Tillis and Phil Berger. Berger gave us NC's Green New Deal, and Tillis has also always been in the hip pocket of the climate industrial complex, resisting Trump's effort to rein in expensive and unreliable "green energy". Tillis owns investments in "green energy" and was looking out for himself instead of his constituents. Berger is an all-round whore for all sorts of special interests and the climate industrial complex is just one of those.

Wow Hood you can really have a conversation with people. Funny it looks like you are desperate to spin a narrative that is untrue. Even your Steve Rader has said he was happy to see cursive writing taught he was lied to. He said this at a recent PTO meeting he attended. I guess you will have to write an article about him nest as not taking your orders!!

From what I am seeing by their actions democrats are about destroying this country and the republic as quick as they can. Sadly the indoctrination centers aid this by teaching that socialism and communism are wonderful ways of life so when they children grow up they vote for socialism and communism. Sad days we are living in.

How come this Republican majority county commission always elects a Repub that was a Democrat before he ran for office as Chairman, paired with a Democrat as Vice Chair? With this Republican majority, has a Republican EVER been allowed in a leadership position. This is OK with the local Republican Party?

This is simply one-party rule that is opposed to any Republican aligned with the Republican Party platform. If it meets the definition of fraud, perhaps it is.

Well Hood let’s discuss your inaccurate article again. This must be your aging mind or lack of knowledge. Cursive writing is taught my kids learned it well. I was sitting in the meeting you referenced behind you and had the position wrong dean of students. From what I saw you were asleep. As for CRT there is a policy on not teaching CRT in our schools. If you personally witness this being taught you should report the teacher to your board member. You would have to go a school that have not been inside one in 20 years as stated earlier this year in a meeting. So as you can see I used an alias name as all of your buddies Ray, Adam, Steve, Charles

Van Zant: You are right, Charles Hickman, and now Steve Rader have been excellent editions to the school board.

Both of these of these outstanding elected leaders would make constructive and county commissioners, as I am always searching for a way to supplant both the Democratic Socialists and the RINO in my sphere of government.

But first, we need a far better educated public; that is our Republic's top priority.

William Grant: Hood and I are hoping for Travis's success because we believe he will listen to us as the natural leaders of a Real Republican majority.

Hood and I both possess a incalculable catalogue of "Common Sense," and we have exhibited such for decades while in the minority, and there is a recorded history of such.

Travis, when elected, will desperately need us, and we will be there ready to help ... With our collective quantity of "Common Sense."

Stan,
Changing faces of the City Council will change NOTHING, as long as the cabal of old, is deeply rooted within the bureaucratic govt of Washington.

What is that quote of bureaucrats? "Elected people are only temporary, we bureaucrats are here for a lifetime." The cabal wont surrender
easily, as their power is addicting.
The public must always be alert, because a conman's M.O. is to be charming.

JV: Concerning the Executive Committee being in the dark, that IS very concerning. So far, this new Republican Executive Committee has been severely marginalized by the insiders. The insiders should be punished for their overreaching the bounds of legitimate duties and powers and infringing on the powers and duties of the Executive Committee. We can all see the things they have done in the name of the Party without Executive Committee approval. Executive Committee members should be interested in what they have done with Executive Committee money.

It is unfortunate that the manipulators have postponed any "showdown" on their indiscretions until the meat of election season. I have been told they have not met in months. Do they think they should not be accountable? I suppose so. Operating like that is not appropriate, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was entirely on purpose. That is real arrogance.

In recent years the state Republican party has been a poor example to follow. Lately the Beaufort County Republican Party is in the running for even exceeding them in depravity.

JV: Follow the money; it absolutely makes a difference when understanding the RINO.

Charles and Buzz: It was not that long ago; not for me even though I was not alive yet for another 13 years; however, it was as if it never happened for so many Americans, especially the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media, who almost never report on the patriotic spirit of those times in this land.

I am the spawn of a patriotic family, so we tend to know what is real.
