Of the two foreign leaders who have commented on Trump's action, both have supported it, both presidents being from recipient countries. One is black and the other Hispanic. Bigot Bob's constant delusion is whining about his "white power" fantasy. Bigot Bob is delusional.

I suspect that if more national leaders were asked about it, like this president was, the media would find a lot more support. Our embassies have been complaining that much of the stuff theat USAID has been funding lately has been upsetting host governments.

Van Zant: Ditto!

I won't speak for the School Board, but I am a solid authority on the Beaufort County Commission's incompetence and corrupt practices, therefore, I am well aware of how to fix the debilitating problem of terrible governing.

Effectively present the truth, win elections, and the corrupt /incompetent politicians, and their associative bureaucrats WILL BE GONE.

Disagreeable women are indeed witches. Good lesson to teach your daughters.

"What we have here is... a failure to communicate." (Cool Hand Luke warden)
Stan makes a motion to have said title search prevented to the commission... to satisfy the curiosity of the citizens about the $500,000 boondoggle, but 2 dems and their 2 Republican rubberstampers vote nay.

What we have here is HDS & SDS. Whatever Hood and Stan is for...they are against.

Its just like TDS nationwide. Those Dems think their job is to resist Trump REGARDLESS of the people's vote to support him. They have forgotten, or perhaps never believed that their job is to serve the public's well-being. Keeping us in the dark is NOT serving our well-being.

These Commissioners who seem to be suffering from an unreasonable emotional bias, need to be voted out as soon as possible. The ROT is everywhere locally. We hear that the Beaufort County/Washington Voters get what they deserve...? Pray for us.

Questions that need to be answered before going forward with a project this big:
1. More preparation and more scrutiny by both boards. Where was it?
2. Input from the community. Why was there none?
3. A County Long-Range Facility study and plan. Where is it?
4. A County/City Transportation study? Where is it?

People elect Hood Richardson because he asks these questions. Why do so many other board members (majorities) not ask these questions? It is their job to do so.

THere is so much to be disgusted at with USAID, beginning with the deep state operatives running it subverting its original worthwhile purpose and instead diverting much of its funding to politically driven grift. There ought to be some serious accountability for that, meted out in criminal court.

One huge concern is the attack on democracy by the USAID deep state as they attacked freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Their massive subsidies of hundreds of leftwing media outlets both in the US and in foreign countries, while funding efforts to censor conservative media outlets both in the US and abroad should not go unpunished. Hopefully the DOJ will start an investigation to prosecute them for the federal felony of conspiring against people's civil rights, in this case the right to freedom of the press and the right to freedom of speech. LOCK THEM UP. They were working to subvert democracy.

In the two weeks of trump virtually nothing has changed yet, except the prices of everything have begun to go up. It will take some time for the economy to react to all this but it will.
Time will tell as to which direction. Hope it’s good.

Made a ton under JB and the retirement account is fat.

But your Daddy just moved Paula White into the White House and put her in charge of some faith based thing. Paul White. Should we listen to her?

Frankly I’m betting el trumpo has more than his spiritual needs in mind with this appointment. She’s hot and word on the street is that if you got the money, she’s got the time.

Europe's farmers have aptly described the green agenda as "climate communism". As I recall, the "green" party block in the EU parliament was the biggest loser of seats in the last European election. That former president of the Caech republic was spot on when he called climate alarmism "a budding totalitarian ideology that is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today." Any party working to run these thugs out of office is to be congratulated.
