America is drowning in debt and so much of our spending is going on useless crap and far left ideological projects. DOGE is saving the day for our economy, which irritates the far left. The polls show that what DOGE is doing is supported by a significant majority of the American people even if the globalists and far left do not like it.

Indivisible should be declared a terrorist organization and all of those thugs involved in this vandalism should get heavy sentences for domestic terrorism.

It certainly looks like the Sanctuary County of Buncombe is making the news in the guise of the Sanctuary City of Asheville.

North Carolina's Republican Party has some big work ahead of it, where it has decidedly failed in the past.

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.

It's that time of year again. The Superintendent should receive a performance review from the school board and it should be sent on to NC DPI as required by state statute. It will be interesting to see if the weak school board grows a spine this year and actually does its job. Cheeseman would be right to worry given his abysmal job performance but it is highly doubtful the board will give him a poor review, if indeed, they give him one at all. Special attention should be paid to how the new, supposedly "conservative" school board members, Daniel Hudson and Stacey Davis approach the issue.

One of the most interested poll findings is that a majority of Democrat voters think their leadership is taking the party in the wrong direction. This poll was conducted while the Schumer Shutdown was still going strong before he caved. That would suggest that a slight majority of Democrats think the party leadership's kneejerk opposition to Trump is stupid.

Even the British press understands and is using the term "Obama judge". The world knows that they are not normal judges

New York City has proven to be the tip of the spear in fighting the Fascist Trump.

All hail New York City.

These non patriot fools in New York did incredibly practice lawfare, so ruthlessly, against Candidate Donald Trump as to destroy his candidacy and his family's business, that he then successfully counteracted their evil force of terrible intent against them to inspiringly take back the presidency, and thus begin the process to save America from the likes of these "Democratic" Demons.

Far too many Democratic Socialist lawyers in New York City, who hate America, contritutes mightily to New York being the most corrupt state in this Constitutional Republic.

Judge Boasberg is flagrantly disregarding US Surpreme Court predecent on the Alien Enemies Act, which was used during and after World War II to deport nationals of countries we fought in that war. The SCOTUS specifcally ruled that alien enemies were not entitled to normal due process. Does this one district court judge think he can overrule the SCOTUS? The law may have been passed more than two centuries ago but it has been used much more recently, with US Supreme Court approval.

Every time a partisan judge puts his party politics ahead of the law, he is undermining faith in our judicial system.

It is President Trump who is defending democracy by ending these government attacks on freedom of speech. It is the Democrats who are the threat to democracy due to their attacks on free speech, both in America and overseas.

Something needs to be done about these highly politicized Obama and Biden judges who abuse their positions for partisan political reasons. Those who want to see them jailed or even swinging from a lamppost are certainly not going to see that happen. Even those in Congress preparing impeachment proceedings against several of the more blatant partisan hacks are not going to get a 2/3rds vote in the Senate, even if richly deserved, again for partisan political reasons.

What can be done? One big reform would be to not allow one district court judge to issue a nationwide injunction or restriaining order. The Supreme Court, or Congress could shut that down, but again getting that past a senate fillbuster would be problemaic due to partisan politics. A rational restraint on district court judges would be to require Supreme Court approval for one district court judge to issue such an order that had effect beyond their own district.

Another is to change ethics standards to require recusal of a judge in a politically colored case if the judge has a history as a political party contributor or official. An ethics challenge to a judge on political bias should not be heard by the challenged judge but by a panel of judges such as two registered Republican and two registered Democrat.

We badly need to get the politics out of our courts, and sadly, we have too many judges who seem to lack the personal intergrity to do that. The politization of our courts seen in the recent Democrat lawfare against Trump and others has seen public trust in courts as shown in the polls decline dramatically.
