John Steed: It is always about the money, because without taxpayer's hard taxes collected, the Non Patriot Left would have no reason to exist.

I sat through a meeting commissioners' budget meeting Tuesday night, where the Center-Left Coalition, those who swap votes to share power here in Beaufort County's Government, are working themselves into a Leftist frenzy to close a school in perfectly good condition to build a mega school, one in which we do not need, at the lowest point of the land, land that BCSs did not entirely own; the management of which could not be bothered to order a title search until it was TOO LATE.

It is moving toward 4 months now since I have asked for a copy of that "TOO LATE Title Search," from every authority available, and this duly elected county commissioner can NOT get a copy of it. At every turn, I have been stopped in retrieving what was never done in a timely manner, for huge expenditures that never needed to be made, not in my fiscally balanced world of management.

One has only to intellectually move an inordinately small distance to wonder: Why are the Leftist Center-Left Coalition, administering Beaufort County's government, and a Leftist Beaufort County Schools' administration now asking for more and more taxpayer's treasure to keep a school system afloat, one with a dwindling student population, so they may remain viable in a condition that they have become well accustomed?

Could the answer just be terrible management ... With the public's money?

John, it is always about the inordinate need for the public's money for Leftists, without which the Left would NOT exist.

Its not about money. School consolidation is part of the agenda of the leftwing public school establishment. This is all about Cheeseman trying to build his resume for his next job, and doing it on the backs of Beaufort County school children, parents, and taxpayers. Shame on him, and shame on the dullard school board members who facilitate his scheme.

France and much of Europe is becoming a hellhole due to the illegal alien migrant problem. The globalists are trying to force Marine LePen out of the presidential race with trumped up phony charges, like they tried to do to Trump, because she is leading in the polls and would take strong action to solve the illegal aliens problem.

The price Speedway always tries to hike the local gas price to is $2.99 a gallon until their competitors pull it back down. They are price gougers.

Reducing costs and saving money is a good thing but it can also be a bad thing if costs are cut where they are actually needed.

Destroying things the people need in order to “save” money, but at the same time wasting more money than was saved on things the people do not need.

This is how we end up with huge government incomes and expenditures, bloated bureaucracies, and a body of government that does not protect or benefit the people whatsoever.

The students coming out of schools have limited knowledge and even worse critical thinking skills. This is directly cause by unstructured learning environments and the institution of high technology in the classroom. If we have devices that do all our thinking then we shall not be able to think for ourselves. The truth is self evident, and is the enemy of the reasoning of men.

This vote will tell us who is for the people and who is dancing on Cheeseman's puppet strings.

We're on to the gas price gougers at Speedway and never buy gas or anything else there. When they screw us the way they do, it is time to just avoid them. Murphy's Express and Quality Plus are the good guys who lead the price back downward to where it should be.

The gambit by the left / Democrats on deportation is delay, and how they accomplish that is "due process" hearings for deportees. It is already taking four years to get an immigration hearing from the time the matter is filed. If suddenly everybody deported had to have a full hearing, which was NOT done under Obama or Clinton, it would draw this out a whole lot more. This would stop most deportations in their tracks until after Trump's term was over. This CANNOT be allowed to happen.

Perhaps the local "Lefts" motive, is to advance the UN Agenda that pushes the population into 15 minute cities.

Ole Hag Hillary has let the cat out of the bag. This is the political gambit of the far left Democrats to destroy the America we know so they can get permanent power. The judicial wing of the Democrat Party is also doing their bit to destroy America in their judicial insurrection. Those Obama and Biden judges should be stripped of their offices and citizenship and deported along with the illegal aliens. They are a disgrace to American justice.
