The anti-American Democrats are aiding and abetting this insurrection, as is the dishonest MSM media. I hope they can face criminal charges or at least civil liability for the damages. Also Mexico should be sued for its role. This is high treason by many Democrats.

The Democrat inspired riots, instigated by false information from "Let it Burn" Mayor Karen Bass, is nothing short of an attack on the Rule of Law. ICE was in the process of detaining a list of illegal aliens who had committed crimes, mostly serious ones and had already had their day in court in front of an immigration judge who had ordered their removal. ICE was simply enforcing the court orders of the Immigration Court, something that was often not done under Biden. Democrat Mayor Bass lied to gin up the rioters by falsely claiming that ICE was doing a random raid on a Home Depot. The incompetence of Mayor Bass led to much of the city burning in thewildfires, and now she seems to be targeting the rest of it.

Commented on What’s the price of closing S. W. Snowden?With the arrogance of the Cheeseman bootlickers, it would not skrprise me if Richaland Township tried to join Pamlico County. Heck the Pamlico County Schools publicly offered to take in the students from Snowden, and I suspect many of the middle class students will take that offer, costing Beaufort County schools $10,000 each in lost state education funding. Our local governments just told Richland Twondship to bugger off.

Commented on What’s the price of closing S. W. Snowden?It's total abandonment. I imagine Richland Township had better figure this out on its own. I have no faith whatsoever in Beaufort County having any interest in the southeastern section beyond collecting the tax revenue from Nutrien.

Commented on Leading British political party calls for deportation of all illegal alien migrants in the UKIllegal alien migrants from the Third World mooch from every western society. They are parasites. If we would cut off their welfare except for a plane ticket home, most would depart. Our taxpayers should not be subsidizing these freeloaders.

Buzz: The RINOs on the board of commissioners were in league with the School Board to close Snowden. It was a very planned event - the closing of Snowden School in Aurora, NC.
Hood: I will challenge taxpayers to compare their 2024 property tax bill to their 2025 property tax bill, I would bet that 90% of the taxpayers are paying more and 40% of taxpayers are paying significantly more. Beaufort County Taxpayers: Let us know here at ENCNOW.com and Beaufort Observer what your findings are on which year you paid more taxes.

Commented on What’s the price of closing S. W. Snowden?Sometimes when you peel back the onion, you find the rot. Sometimes it is more than one onion. Sometimes you may find mold on the cheese. This whole debacle did not happen overnight. The school has been allowed to deteriorate over the last few years. New young move-ins look for the three S's, Schools, Service, and Safety. Without the first S they do not look any further.

But they could not find enough money to keep Snowden School open?
Maybe they can rent some of the half-filled schools they already have for mini-storage. We really are lucky to have such brilliant people leading our county, serving our people, and saving us money.

Hmmmm. That's a strange last name for a "Mexican" president, ain't it🤔?
I bet she'd call the Federales in a hot s*** minute if they started raising hell in front of her gated/armed palace. Trump needs to go buy Mexico and be done with it. Then, after he's done with that, he needs to announce the NAU (North American Union).

Electric cars can also catch fire when their battery bursts into flame in your driveway or garage and burn your house down. It is great that Trump is taking away the subsidies for them even if that gets Musk's panties in a twist.

Google is a woke company and is anti-American. It has been helping the Red Chinese with AI which has military applications. Conservatives should avoid them like the plague. Its censorship regime is really obnoxious against conservatives. NEVER GOOGLE.

Hopefully, the military will get robust rules of engagement on use of force. Troops should be allowed to use any level of force against the insurrectionists, including deadly force, if there is any possibility of the insurrectionists doing harm to civilians or to troops or police. For example, if an insurrectionist is about to throw a Molotov cocktail into a building that may be occupied, a soldier should be able to shoot the insurrectionist dead to prevent possible harm of a civilian who might be present.

M.W., What do you mean neighbors shooting next year's deer?
Are u referring to hunting inside the City limits? It is illegal to shoot a gun inside the City limits, at least in Washington, but people do it all the time. They think that because "hunting" inside the City is not against any ordinances, it means they can hunt with a gun. U cant shoot a gun, so that means you cant bag a turkey or a deer with a gun. I wish the City councils would make it clear to these ignorant and lawless people that its illegal, and to stop it totally. WAshington has a lot of forest areas right here just a mile or so from the center of Washington, but the police wont go into those forested areas to find the person shooting the gun, so lawlessness continues. Rules were created so that citizens know acceptable behavior, but when SOME can violate zoning laws and city laws, anarchy like we see in Los Angeles can develop.

When I did a search for NCWRC Action Plan, I got this:
"This document provides info abt th agency initiatives for th next 2yrs: emphasizing diversity,equity,inclusion,& accessibility in our public-facing & internal operations, internal capacity building through needed updates in our information technology & data management systems & continuing to mainstream evidence-based decision-making into all agency divisions & programs." Anytime a Govt Agency has an ACTION PLAN that has to do w conserving nature, u can bet humans will b th losers. Hence I think reading this LONG document is worthwhile, but also bec I like animals too. AT this link is 900 pgs of th Plan: www.ncwildlife.gov Im only on pg 200, but bec of our shrinking towns, etc I want to share w u data & graphs at th beginning of th doc describing how Beaufort & others north of us r all predicted to shrink n population: page 2 of Chap 2 & Fig 2-1 depicts losing pop growth for 2030-40.

John Valley: Yes and No: People are moving here, there is only so much perkable land in good locations here in Beaufort County, so property values will be going up; yes, there is an elitist mindset, and there are those that will "sellout the county, and take full advantage of their neighbors."
Maybe this is actually a full Yes, 1/2 Yes; and a 1/2 No. How one views the yeses and the noes should probably depend on one's optimism in humanity, or their profound sense of what is incredibly real.

I think there's a much bigger picture here that the general public knows nothing about.
I think Beaufort County has been sold out and sabotaged only for the gain of a select few. It seems like certain people WANT a mass exodus so the land can be completely pillaged and bought for pennies on the dollar by insiders looking to create a 30 minute County. We'll see

Van Zant: Unlike the unimaginative School Board, Charles Hickman is a school board member that listened to the People of his district, and other districts as well, and he did it repetitively, on Snowden and many other issues.
And I agree Van Zant: Most arbitrary decisions to close Snowden were specious; but, I believe they have a bigger game plan afoot, but are definitely "small ball" in realm of making decisions for the public's best interest. Having said that, the Beaufort County Commissioners will have the last word on what happens to that property, and will be able to buy that property back at fair market value, which is not much for these schools here in Beaufort County. One more thing Van Zant, Hood and I are already talking about BCS NOT tearing down Eastern Elementary so easily and conveniently, and, of course, the same goes for John Cotton Tayloe.

I think it would be appropriate to add that while checking off the requirements of the statutes to follow the school closing procedure, many statutes were not adhered to or were used in a self-serving way just as stated in the article. It has been pointed out many times by one board member that particular aspects of the statutes have not been dealt with at all.

Obviously, an arbitrary decision to close Snowden was made, and then it was just a matter of checking off the lawful hearing requirements to get it done. Other than two or three board members, there was no one on the school board actually hearing the people. Most of them were just enduring the lawful process of closing the school after the despots had already made the decision.
Locally, the thing that has come out of this is that there is no local party acting as champions of the people, and not many individual board or commission members are giving the people anything other than lip service. I think we need to identify the ones that are listening and support them not worrying about party, race, or anything else. Maybe we need a local sub-party to counteract the established parties that are not listening to the people. I wonder how we could get that done.
