Nothing screams guilty like preemptively pardoning family members for long specific time periods, who benefitted from the nefarious dealings of the Biden Crime Family; the man who participated in gain of function research, for research, that was the nexus of covid; and the entire incompetent January 6th Committee comprised of only Democratic Socialists and RINOs who despise Mr. Trump.

My advice to all patriots: Do not let up on the exposing of all corrupt politicians; the collusive cheating to win elections, like the Presidential election of 2020.

Cgirl - It looks like criminal Joe has jumped from pardons straight to blanket immunity.

If they haven't been charged with anything how can they be pardoned?

Please come and make a difference here in Beaufort County at the Republican county convention in March.

For the most part, the local GOP, filled with nominal Republicans that favor the Center-Left Coalition because these GOP "Nominal Republicans" are in favor of wasting taxpayers money at the local level. I do not know why the current local Beaufort County GOP desire the abject waste of taxpayer dollars, but this is who they are, and it is well proved.

I actually do not need the local GOP to get elected or re-elected, and when certain elements of these Nominal Republicans work against this Conservative, it generally helps my vote totals rise.

Where these active RINOs hurt the Conservative cause is when they go out of their way to damage other Conservatives that are new to the Political /Governing Avocation, just to keep long standing original Conservatives, like me and Hood Richardson, from having the help of real conservative Republicans, to gain control, whereby we would demonstrably change the governing dynamic here in Beaufort County.

Martin Luther King and Robert E. Lee were born on the same day roughly a century apart, both great men.

"Slavery is an institution of moral and political evil" - Robert E. Lee, 1859

"People should be judged on the content of their character, not the color of thier skin" - Martin Luther King, 1963

The fact is Bob, that black candidates had run for office is Beaufort County for a variety of offices. We had a black Washington City Councilman who was top votegetter and Mayor Pro Tem due to all the white vote he received. We had a black Republican who had been head of security nationally for McDonalds corporation who was top votegetter in the first round of the Republican sheriff primary over multiple white challengers due almost entirely to white votes as few blacks were registered Republican in those days, and won a landslide one on one with a white opponent in the runoff. When it came to the general election however, the black voters voted for the white Democrat over this very well qualified black Republican. We had a black deputy sheriff in Hyde County challenge white dingbat Howard Chapin in the Democrat primary for NC House, but Beaufort County black voters voted for the white Chapin.

I am also only looking at elections close in time to the VRA lawsuit from David Moore. If you go back to Reconstruction, I think there were some black Republicans elected to local office then.

I did not "miss" your points, BOb. I annihalated them.

None of this is true, except for the pardons. Good job JB.

Perhaps Bob needs a refresher course in reading comprehension or maybe he is just so into Democrat spin he just says whatever comes to mind. Lets look at his distortions.

"Democrats - racist" Well, NO. What I pointed out is that Democrat Frank Bonner was operating purely in his own political self interest. As a white politician finding himself in what would be a black district, he naturally thought that would not be good for his own political future. It would have been the same if he had found himself in a Republican voting district. It was all about his own political self interest for Frank Bonner.

"Courts- not to be trusted" In this case, the district court dealt with a situation that appellate courts had not specifically ruled upon, where a party at one point agreed but then withdrew that agreement. While it is not certain which way the appellate courts would have ruled, the odds of a favorable ruling for the county were certainly high enough it should have been appealed.

"Voting Rights Act - bad" I made no comment on the act itself, only that the evidence here would likely have resulted in a victory for the county if they had fought it out instead of surrendering. To win a voting rights case, the plaintiff must prove that voting is racially polarized and they did not have the facts on their side in this case. No black had run for county commission to establsh such a pattern, and if you looked at other races, there was ample evidence that such a pattern did not exist. Part of that was substantial white vote for a black city councilman in Washington. But it went well beyond that to include heavy white voter support in the nomination of a black candidate over several whites in a Republican sheriff primary, and the fact that the majority of blacks voted in the general election for a white Democrat over that well qualifired black Republican. It also included a state House Democrat primary, where the majority of Beaufort County blacks voted for the white incumbent over a well qualified black challenger who has a Hyde County Deputy Sheriff. The county could have blown Moore's case out of the water if they had contested it based on those then-recent election results, but to me the best result would have been a settlement based on Moore's district proposal. That would have given the county a better voting system than it had and light years better than limited voting.

And, although it destorys your narrative, if you go back, Bob, and read the Wasington Daily News accounts when this was happening, you will find my account is accurate.
