JS: I suspect you're on to something there.

If a group of colonels marched troops on Washington, DC to seize power, they would be arrested and jailed. These out of control Democrat judges are doing the same thing and should have the same response - arrest and jail. Maybe we need a special grand jury to investigate the judicial insurrection and bring indictments.

John: So, "Kayfabe" is the backroom deal also for politicians, where the politicians and their associative bureaucrats, mislead the public by a variety of measures, and since they have the majority, the common perception among those that are not up on what is real tends to trend with the majority vote, simply, because people get stuff, while the unsuspecting taxpayers eventually gets hit with the full bill.

Yeah, there is much "Kayfabe" originating with, and by the Beaufort County Commission's Center/Left - Left Coalition, and their associative bureaucrats.

I can only imagine what is occurring with the Beaufort County school board, and their associative bureaucrats.

That out of town lawyer Cheeseman got hired as school board attorney is chairman of the Durham County Democratic Party, one of the most "woke" party units in the state. Cheeseman had brought him in as school board attorney in the previous county he was superintendent as well. He seems to function more as the superintendent's attorney than the board's attorney.

The only visible things Cheeseman seems to use him for are:
1) backing up Cheeseman's election interference in school board elections as he did twice in the 2024 election, and
2) backing up Cheeseman on kowtowing to the liberal DPI on curriculum

He seems to be missing in action on the things that we need an active and engaged school board attorney for.

Remember....Pat McCrory actually won the governor's race until Ol' Roy found 90 some thousand votes in a broom closet over there in Durham or Orange County.

Jefferson Griffin was/is probably the reason why the DOJ is turning up the heat. NC, on all sides of the aisle, dropped the ball on this one.

Also remember...any race can be rigged. Never underestimate anything because, nine times out of ten, what is "underestimated" is usually where the fraud is.

Steve: Yet another reason why we need to STOP electing corrupt Democratic Socialist governors, who control the state board of elections by appointing a majority of Democratic Socialists.

Wake up People!

It looks like North Carolina has made the national news, and NOT in a good way.

Beaufort County is probably clean here; however, what does this say about the rest of state, many Democratic Socialist controlled counties, employed all of the Democratic Socialist corrupt political machine levers to put "Ole Coop" back in office by the corrupt 2020 general election, just so he could continue the Covid Shutdown, a clear misuse of the governor's Emergency Powers Act. "Ole Coop" kept schools and small businesses closed against the advice of all wisdom, while allowing friends of the Democratic Socialists' to remain open.

Never forget People!

Van Zant: There will be some mighty angry residents of Richland Township when this is all over, and their children are stuck on a bus for hours a day. Board member Charles Hickman, representing Richland Township, has work tirelessly, but he is just one vote against the many that have been sucked into this BCS /BC Gov. shell game.

What stupid mess this has become; one stupidity following another; following another; what a way to govern and educate children?

S.P.R.: You've made some very good points. Your take on the transportation report at the last regular school board meeting was spot on. The "report" did lack credibility. To me, it came over as an employee trying to please his boss with an advocacy speech and not as a legitimate report. Essentially, that is what it was.

The lack of legal counsel throughout all of this is another glaring deficiency. The school board continues to be ill served by legal counsel five or six counties away from our county.

The one meeting before the public in Aurora with the very long sales pitch monologue by the superintendent while the school board was hiding in the crowd was truly an insult to the residents of the southeastern part of Beaufort County.

Agreed, the Southside hearing was procedurally a huge improvement over the insulting excuse for a hearing at Snowden, although I was not impressed by the leadership turning the microphones off on speakers they did not want to hear while going on lengthy superficial bitch sessions themselves. Plenty of us did not appreciate any of that at our "hearing" where they did not seem to care about hearing from any of us beyond checking off another closing requirement on their checklist.

A great amount of planning and strategy was put into making sure the school board did not have to face a Richland Township crowd the likes of what attended in Aurora. We can give the Superintendent credit for that strategy. We can also cite the Beaufort County School Board as a whole for the actual responsibility of letting our citizens be treated in such a disrespectful manner.

This monster should be in prison for child abuse. He should not be in public office. I wonder if he is afraid that parents of a child he has helped get castrated will show up in his office to perhaps castrate him?

RINO Hunter: As an elected official for 25 years, I have made this profound observation, and it is ongoing: Some elected public officials deeply rely on the Bureaucrat Class to make any decision, ergo, the bureaucrats end up running the People's government.

For true Conservatives, this is a weird concept of futility in governing, but for Democratic Socialists and RINOs, who are elected, it is their way henceforward through their public avocation.
