Only Democrats could do something so outrageous. With the Los Angeles wildfires still out of control, the California legislature pays no attention to them, provides no resources for victims, but instead spends their time and the taxpayers money oh a partisan political fight with President Trump. They should hang their heads in shame. This is a party that cannot govern.

Many individual Democrat voters do not agree with their politicians when it comes to illegal immigration. Democrats may well wear out their welcome with their own electorate on this issue, but they may be starting to get a clue. Thirty Three Democrat US senators have joined Republicans to pass cloture on the Laken Riley Act, so it will pass the Senate.

Wikipedia has become Wokepedia. I wondered why but now I know.

Not really a fan of KP, but I have new found respect for her.
I would not shake the hand of the man who tried to kill me or my spouse.

Btw- that act alone is a statement that says more about the truth of what happened Jan.6, and she never said a word.

There is way too much stinky backroom politics going on in our county. Citizens need answers. Stan, you need to put this on the agenda for a public session where it can be brought out who said what to whom and why others were kept in the dark. This whole fiasco just reeks of corruption.

Our School Board has a history of poor planning in school construction and renovation, and this isn't their first rodeo of screwing up. We saw a lot of that in the last bond referendum and the poor planning that went into that. The real problem is that we have had a hands-off rubber stamp school board that has been just window dressing for a power-bully superintendant who really runs the show. The superintendant is playing this construction in the way that most benefits his resume for a job in a higher paying larger school system, not what is best for Beaufort County. We need a School Board that will take charge and remind the superintendant that he is the employee, not the boss.

Too much of this process has been done in the backroom controlled by the superintendant and now the cracks are showing. Putting T.W. Allen to go to meetings with the superintendant is a joke because T.W. Allen is a pathetic lap puppy for the superintendant and just does what he is told by the superintendant.

Why in the heck did the school board not figure out that the city owned 4 acres of that school site early on and deal with it before getting this deep in the process. That was absolute incompetence by the superintendant who has been running the show.

We need a new superintendant and we need one badly, but we also need a school board that will step up and represent the citizens like they are supposed to and not be sock puppets for an out of control power-bully superintendant.

The Board is asking questions that they should have known the answer to before they voted for the contract. You will recall that the approval vote for the contract was rushed through at the first meeting the new board members were installed. They could not have had access to the information that they were voting on. Cheeseman is not an engineer, and he is leading the pack on what they should do.
If this continues, we will have a school that houses 1000 children five to eight years old who have to be bussed or dropped off by their parents. Those who are familiar with bussing know that they are not going to want to put a five-year-old on a bus. If one-half of the moms of one thousand children decide to drop off and pick up their child, it means that (500) five hundred cars will line up for morning and evening at one of the busiest intersections in Washington. Strategically placed schools would make a lot more sense, but that would not be a monument for Cheeseman. Parents get involved.

Big Bob: "Like Pizzagate, MAGA and reality just dont mix."

I let all people post here unless it is outright personal slander against real people; but truly, you need to limit this "Village Idiot" approach to debating real issues affecting real people.

It stood to reason that LIttle Bobbie would eventually get a far left talking point like that, and regurgitate it here. Look at my first comment on their thread two days ago. Now he has.

Let me explain some REAL climate science to Bobbie. Climate and weather involve a number of alternating climate cycles, some lasting months, some a year or two, and some for centuries. For California one set of cycles that is particularly important are the El Nino / La Nina cycles which rotate and tend to last a year or two, maybe three, and then reverse. An El Nino cycle which includes heavy rainfall just ended and a La Nina cycle with low rainfall and a propensity for higher winds just started earlier this year. California had a lot of rain from El Nino causing lots of brush to grow, followed by the drynees of La Nina that caused it to dry out, setting up a bigger fire danger. Add to that the La Nina propensity for higher winds when the annual and predictable Santa Anna Winds arrived, as they always do this time of year.

This had NOTHING to do with CO2 and everything to do with the El Nino / La Nina cycle.

The climate alarmist mafia are very predictable. The analogy to the medieval church for their pagan cult is a solid one. Anything bad that happens they want to jump up and blame on the fantasy "manmade climate change". These grifters are making billions off of this scam and they want to keep the gravy train rolling. They rely on low level know-nothing lemmings like Little Bobbie and Greta Thunberg to keep parroting their propaganda.
