Everyone seems to have moved on to the Snowden School issue, but I'm still stuck at the 9 1/2 ac lot debacle that the schools system thought it owned.There seems to be a lack of competence galore. Not only the 4 jerks on the Commissioners Board, who could easily be nicknamed the 4 clones of Sgt Shultz, but also the School Board members who seemed to have played Zero role in the transaction. Thus we could nickname them Sgt Shultz's too. Then there is the City Council members who seem to be another body of Sgt Shultz's.

Who were the players? As far as I can tell, Cheeseman put his head together with the City Manager and agreed on a $500,000 price tag for HALF the 9 acs they thought they owned.

Out of these three bodies, no one said, Hey maybe we need a Title Search, and NO ONE said, Maybe we should negotiate this price on
behalf of the taxpayers?
Why didnt they? It stinks galore! It feels like a lot of money laundering between Governmental bodies at the detriment of the taxpayer.

To all wild-eyed Democratic Socialists, and their Non Patriot Leftist enablers, you better acclimated to such for next number of decades, maybe longer.

Oh, and one more thing ... No more cheating in elections to "democratically" pick our representatives!

The vast majority of the elected Democratic Socialist politicians are either half crazed or mostly stupid; however, the Good People of this Representative Republic will hold their collective noses and tolerate these fools, but, if you Leftists keep trying to cheat, as was your ploy to invite an invasion of Illegals so you could ply them with public funding and vote them in Swing States, it will be an intolerable "bridge too far."

Thank-you for these good words, my dearest friend, Diane Rufino.

May your good spirit watch over us all; the Good People of the Republic you did so dearly love.

It is high time that all of the justices smarten up, and that includes a few of the so-called "conservative justices."

These are uncertain times in our Republic, as so many of public are totally ignorant of what constitutes truth, or inspired consistently by evil. Either way, we, who now real truth, must stand fixed and solid.

Asylum has always been a racket all over the western world. Many of these illegal aliens who claim to be afraid of their home countries, go there on vacation, spending the welfare money they get from western countries. False asylum claims are a criminal enterprise. These despicable jackass judges are a disgrace.

This law will also help reduce housing costs for American citizens. As usual, the lefties run to the radical judges to try to screw things up.

Presidents Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln simply ignored pushy federal judges who tried to abuse power. Maybe Trump should do that, too, and cite them as precedents. Lincoln even once issued an order for the arrest of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, although the Chief Justice backed down on what Lincoln thought he was about to do, and Lincoln recalled the order. That is how you deal with the tyranny of the judiciary. Unelected, unaccountable political appointees like federal judges should not have the power they try to assert over the elected branches of government. Tha tis highly undemocratic.

The Marist poll is notorious for tilting to the left, so this result in their poll is particularly encouraging.

The public education system here in Beaufort County has great potential, and then I am reminded, first hand, just how messed up it is, as I watch, know intimately, how greatly their leadership diligently strives to grasp ahold of that single shiny thread from that dark, distant gordian knot, where a masked mediocrity might be attained, and closely held; until even that common place venture of something slightly better than nothing ... Just slips away.

There is no management of anything in our public school system. Having a Phd or a Masters degree does not mean one has management ability. It means you are well trained in socialism and indoctrination, not management. We need more business people at all levels of government, then we swill see a change.

Did these partisan Democratic Socialist judges not learn anything from the latest Supreme Court ruling nullifying their nationwide injunctions? This is overtly embarrassing for these Leftist fools in black robes.

What swampy Republican senators did or allowed to happen to the Big Beautiful Bill in the Senate is disgusting, and we need to replace all of them we can in the primaries, because we also need to replace the new McConnell, John Thune. It was the swampy Republicans themselves who were responsible for some ot the watered down items like cutting only half of Biden's spendthrift Green New Deal instead of all of it, like the House did. On other things like letting illegal aliens still get Medicaid, it was a matter of Thune refusing to overrule the Democrat Senate Parliamentarian who had been hired by Harry Reid. Why in the heck did we even have a Harry Reid holdover sitting in that position to screw with this bill? Too many "Republican" senators are really Democrats in Drag. Getting rid of that sellout Tillis is a good start, and so will be taking down Cornyn, Cassidy, and Graham, but there are more that need their walking papers. That idiot James Lankford who tried to do Biden's bidding on open borders comes up agains in 2028. He badly needs to go. All of these sellouts helped Obama and Biden get some of their key legislation through.
