It is no wonder these RINOs shutdown Snowden School. What a dumb bunch of stupid politicians; what a messed up local "Republican" party. This makes me real mad!

What we have on our county commission is two admitted Democrats, two closet Democrats, and three Republicans. What we need is one more real Republican.

If Hood and Stan are shutdown at Beaufort County Commissioner meetings by two Democratics and two RINOs, what does these antics say about Keith Kidwell and the local Republican party, when they similarly shut down the top two Republicans in Beaufort County?

Whoops! I was referring to the Democrat Party SUPER delegates. LOL

Economic Development in Beaufort County has been left up to those people that have proven to be completely incapable of wise, beneficial economic development, and, accordingly, the counteractive quality of so much of the public's money and time wasted, here in Beaufort County, is legend.

As a member of the Conservative minority on Beaufort County Commission for many decades, I have had a "ring side" and "bird's eye" view of one stupid move after another after another, which constantly keeps Beaufort County completely unexceptional, and trust me, there are no heroes here among those that are now in charge, and have been in charge, or I would have seen it by now, and recorded such.

Big change here in Beaufort County is most necessary; Conservative change is absolutely essential.

The good news is the corrupt electronic voting has run its course. The bad news is there are still plenty of barriers to block the will of respectable people. In the meantime, we are stuck with a NC Republican Party running incompetent state elections, protecting shady powerful politicians, and a credibility gap as wide as the Grand Canyon. That's the NCGOP.

The Democrats aren't off the hook. A party with supper delegates held in reserve to undermine the will of legitimate primary voters can't say anything about anything.

Neither organized Republicans nor organized Democrats can claim any part of any high road.

More large multinational companies over talented tradesmen and manufacturing coming to a small town near you very soon. The quiet takeover funneled into the flow of ideas, images, and symbols, including state ideologies and counter-ideologies still on the US dime. Everyone is wanting to be smarter, but ends up too stupid to see it.

Good for the Polish court! Those EU climate alarmist laws give expensive and unreliable electricity. They were responsible for the recent nationwide blackouts in Spain and Portugal, as well as huge electric rate increases all over Europe. What North Carolina should be concerned about is that the actions of RINOs Phil Berger and Tim Moore in passing NC's own Green New Deal, HB951, North Carolinians will be popped harder for this nonsense than Europeans.

For some unknown reason, my stream of thought process renders unto me the well balanced concept of imposing the death penalty as a resolution for those individuals that commit the crime of organizing large sums of resources to create Fentanyl, and then use their organized cartel to distribute that deadly product for public consumption here in the USA.

Ray, this convention had some definite pluses. One important one was stopping the Plan of Organization rewrite that would have increased control from the top, going against our tradition as a grassroots party. Interestingly, that proposal drew not only almost total opposition from grassroots / conservative elements of the party but also from many considered more "establishment" types.

The staunchly conservative platform also passed without much of a fight. Additions this year to party positions included support for election of the state Board of Education by the citizens of the state, instead of appointment by the governor, opposition to central bank digital currency, and denouncing the attempts by the courts to invade the province of the executive and legislative branches.

The resolutions package which was conservative also passed intact. Unlike last year, establishment elements were not able to remove and discard some key conservative resolutions like medical freedom.

The main disappointment came in the chairman's race, where establishment incumbent Jason Simmons prevailed over grassroots challenger Brooke McGowan on the weighted vote by 52.5% to 47.5%. McGowan has a majority of delegates physically present. McGowan's campaign was hurt by mass email company ConstantComment taking her money but then refusing for frivolous reasons to send out her emails. She got a late start in the email campaign as a result of having to find another emailer at the last minute. She probably also would have done better if she had gotten out more in the way of the failures of the NCGOP in this last campaign under its current leadership and more details on how she planned to correct the problems.

For me, one of the biggest reasons we needed a change was the incompetent way the party's Judicial Campaign Fund was used which amounted to total political malpractice. If those funds had been used wisely, we would have elected conservative Jefferson Griffin to the Supreme Court instead of far left activist Allison Riggs, former co-director of the far left Southern Coalition for Social Justice.

George Soros has also been identified as being involved in the anti-Trump insurrection and even the British media is pointing that out.

The military event is for the 250th anniversary of the US Army, NOT for Trump's birthday as the MSM media falsely claims.
