Illegal immigration has become as huge an issue in Europe as it is in America even though the globalist elites are still out of touch with the people on it, sort of like here. It was only a few years ago that Chega had only one seat in the Portugeese parliament, and now they are the second largest party.

Van Zant: The "Snowden deal" is done. The Center /Left - Left county commissioners, not one Real Republican among them, have acquiesced to the Bureaucrat Class.

My question is this: How can 64% of Beaufort County vote for Donald Trump, yet we have 4 Center /Left - Left Democrats on the Board of County Commissioners?

Answer: The Beaufort County GOP.

Yes, and I also remember "Gordon Solie," but I still do not know of "kayfabe."

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.

"Congratulations to Ms. Vanessa M-Oden, CTE/ Paxton-Patterson Lab Teacher and S W Snowden School for becoming the first Beaufort County School to receive the Purple Star Award."7

"The Purple Star Award gives recognition to schools that show a commitment to students and families connected to the U.S. Military. It recognizes those who implement military-friendly practices and resources, aiming to better support the needs of children in military families."

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.
