Trump has no interest in saving the whales or lowering your utility bills. He plans on drilling in the ocean. Drilling will kill far more then the whales. Drill Baby Drill.

Yes, Merz did a deal with the Greens, too, doubling the climate funds from the last budget and agreeing to put their net zero nonsense into the Constitution. He did that to get their votes for his massive big spending bill. Every bit of that went against his promises to the voters in last month's election. Merz has now reversed every major issue he ran on in the campaign. He lied about everything. He has totally backstabbed his voters and he is not even in office as chancellor, yet.

It has now come out that this scumbag crook of an Obama judge has his wife giving the Dmeocrat Party and its candidates tens of thousands of dollars. His conflict of interest just keeps getting worse. Boasberg has the ethics of an alley cat and does not belong in a courtroom, except maybe as a defendant. He has always been nothing but a despicable political hack.

It is an absolute outrage that Boasberg wants to let these rapists and murderers from Tren de Aragua that Obama let in the country stay here. It was a Tren de ARagua gangster who murdered Laken Riley, for heavan's sake. Boasberg is beneath contempt.

"Property taxes are arguably the most unethical or immoral tax, especially in the American context. A property tax means one is never truly allowed to own property. In effect, property owners pay the government for the right to buy and hold property so long as they pay property taxes. Practically speaking, it’s as if the government owns the property, and the owner is merely renting it." Thomas Gallatin

I hope there is a criminal investigation underway on Mayorkas. There are all sorts of crimes he could and should be charged with up to and including high treason. Of course the SCOTUS have given Biden immunity, but that does not cover Mayorkas' wrongdoing.

Cutting back on expensive and unreliable wind and solar energy is key to keeping our utility rates low. This stuff is also extremely vulnerable in hurricanes and other major stomrs, which a conventional electric plant is NOT. Offshore wind is also the absolute worst.

With the Beaufort County revaluation a major topic everywhere I go here in Beaufort County, and I am ever at the ready to discuss the revaluation and other county issues relative to my functionary duties as a county commissioner at any time, I can definitively tell the public of this public square this one truth: The new unneeded school using mostly "Free Money" NOW in these costly days of building, which could have been available later for more worthy, more cost effective and necessary projects, coupled with the half million dollars to save the project because the administration of Beaufort County chose not plan properly, is NOT going over well with the public at large across this county of Beaufort.

As public officials wasting tax dollars is being found out, maybe the taxpayers one day, at large, will have the gumption to make the time to know what is truly occurring in their local governments, know the poor players working on their behalf, and, accordingly, the political interlopers who do NOT function as governing officials as they held themselves out to be ... And then maybe, just maybe, the self-governed folks of Beaufort County will provide me smarter county commissioners to serve with, and a real governing school board of knowledge, who, like the smarter county commissioners, can then hire better bureaucrats who know their place, and they know too who they ultimately serve - the self governed taxpayers of this county.

I do not think that this superintendent cares at all about the statutes or the board policies. As long as he has five board votes he believes he doesn't have to and can actually interpret as he pleases. Last year three board members tried to implement a superintendent evaluation. It is my understanding that they accomplished a partial evaluation after resistance from the superintendent and obscuration by the board majority.

As best as I can tell it is only in recent years that some of these things have come to light. This board operated for so long out of sight with long serving board members coasting along in their own world. I can't find anyone that even remembers ANY evaluation being done. The attempt last year just might be the only attempt in history.

This judicial insurrection against the lawfully elected American president needs to be crushed. It is a much bigger threat to democracy than anything that happened on Jaunary 6,2021.

This Big Bob 2.0 is a real nut case.

I wonder how he would feel if someone set his mama on fire. If someone set my mama on fire, there would be a dead Illegal.

So, when an illegal alien sets a sleeping woman on fire on the subway and she burns to death, Bolshevik Bob thinks he should not be deported? Heck, I think he ought to be executed. Bobbie is more determined that this illegal alien felon be kept in the country than the victim receive justice. That is just an example of the very disturbed type of thinking that current "progressives" are prone to.

Bobbie's use of the word "fascist" reminds me of George Orwell's comment half a century ago that the word "fascist" no longer has any real meaning except "something you don't like".

Since harboring an illegal alien is a federal felony, hopefully the DOJ will start prosecuting some of these arrogant leftwing politicians who do things like this.
