John Valley, I truly agree with both of these last comments of yours; however, I have no idea what Kayfabe means.

What I do know fairly well is that NO one gets smarter from spending copious time on Fakebook, and I am most happy you agree with me on that one.

I left Fakebook in summer of 2020, when Zuckerberg found himself totally compliant to the will and whim of the Non Patriot Left, and I questioned myself: How stupid am I to use my valuable time to "build-out" Mark Zuckerberg's website just to destroy the Patriot President, Donald J. Trump?

Van Zant: If that be the case - the 3 minute comment format; the bureaucrats keeping their mouths pleasantly and mostly shut is fairly standard.

SD: Also, as we both know, Facebook is a very dated and narrow platform. The only people who use the platform now are: People mainly keeping up with family members/close friends or low frequency people who love to stir the turd (Ultra-Ultra MAGA and old Che Guevara Hippies).

That, too me, is kayfabe...the all of a sudden urge to reduce/improve the human element....hmmm. What would happen if the public were presented with a compiled video of Ché Cheeseman portraying himself as Superman when he's actually Lex Luthor?

I think one could find a s***-car load of kayfabe in the scripted exchange between Booth and Ché. It's so bad and hilariously cheesy, no pun intended,; the public would think it's made up.

......I'm your friendly neighborhood Spiderman.

Pushing the Green New Deal is what we would expect from Bernie Sanders or AOC. Tillis is way to the left of the NC mainstream. But sometime back I saw a Congressional rating that actually had Tillis as more to the left than Sanders, based on their Senate voting records. Tillis is too liberal for North Carolina and needs to get his waling papers in the 2026 primary. He has worn out his welcome with NC Republican voters.

RINO Hunter: If it was the one public hearing required by law, it was a very strange one, most unlike any county commissioner open hearing I have participated in during my nearly 25 years on the board.

John Valley, there are many audiences out there, and some know more than others.

Last night, Center/Left Commissioner Randy Walker suggested political governing by viral Facebook. Now, one thing I do know: the knowing of things for the Facebook crowd is of a lower echelon.

Randy Walker subscribes to this level of intellect. I do not. Neither does Hood. Neither does nearly every parent with school age children, nor do the greater propensity of Beaufort County taxpayers.

In immigration related cases, these are supposed to be brought in the immigration courts, NOT in the district courts. These Obama and Biden judges are involved in a power grab from another federal court. When will the Supreme Court put a stop to all this nonsense?

Traditionally, judges only issue injunctions that only involve the people who are partied to that individual case. An exception would be a case that has been filed and approved as a class action, which none of the political cases against Trump have been. The issuance of national injunctions by district judges is a relatively recent development that has exploded in the Democrat lawfare cases against the Trump administration. Turley is right that the Supreme Court needs to put a stop to this practice where a local district court judge thinks he is running the country.

A contrast i court behavior can be made with Biden's most egregious abuse of power when he tried through executive fiat to rewrite Title IX of the Civil Rights Law to stand it on its head and make it say the opposite of what Congress passed. That was challenged in five separate lawsuits in district court, each one involving a grouping of states. Courts entered injunctions against Biden's move in each case, BUT each injunction only protected those states suing in that particular lawsuit. States that were not part of any lawsuit like North Carolina were unprotected.

Now, even though many of the injunctions by Democrat district judges are frivolous and are reversed by appeals courts, they are issued to block executive branch actions in all states. That should not be allowed to continue.

District judges should not be allowed to issue national injunctions unless a case is properly certified as a class action or unless the Supreme Court approves.

ANTIFA and BLM are the actual "domestic violent extremists". They are the ones who need to be watched by law enforcement. It is good to see the Seattle police union speaking out on this. Hopefully the FBI will start targeting them.

The taxpayers of this Republic are fortunate that this wrongful death was not more than 5 million.

The so-called Insurrection has cost this nation tens of billions of investigatory dollars, while the crime wave, fomented by the Non Patriot Left, has swept this nation costing our taxpayers hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars, and thousands of deaths just during the Biden Administration alone. Where was the FBI during this extreme surge of anti social, psychopathic and sociopathic behavior during the incredibly failed administration of the Idiot President - Joseph R. Biden (or was it Hunter)?

The Democratic Socialists' Insurrection cost the capital less than a million dollars, and NO deaths.

Do the math People! Why would any Right thinking person ever vote for the political /governing intellect of a Democratic Socialist, or a RINO for that matter, ever again?

Roberts is awful, but he will only go down as second worst. Eisenhower's appointee as Chief Justice, Earl Warren, was even worse. Oddly, the two most dependable justices, Alito and Thomas were Bush appointees. The three Trump appointees, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and especially Barrett, are all over the landscape. The Trump team was concentrating on the issue of overturning Roe v. Wade, when they should have been looking at a fuller range of issues.
