I hope they will be given rules of engagement similar to those given to Latvian troops sent to their border with Belarus where Arab and African migrants were entering. Those were to use whatever level of force deemed necessary, but to stop them from crossing into the country.

A prominent member of Ukraine's parliament has blasted Zelensky's behavior at the White House as "absolute idiocy". www.breitbart.com

Trump is such a fool, as he treats those so much smaller than himself with total disrespect.

Just because his family is so tall, it is so very wrong to small shame the Ukranian President by speaking down to him.

Zelendky's behavior even led Ukrainian-born Indiana Congresswoman Victoria Spartz to declare that Zelensky "failed Ukraine" in "trying to play hero and politics" and insulting America. She said he "did such a disservice to the Ukrainian people."

Having spent quite a bit of time traveling in Ukraine when I worked in eastern Europe, I have been hopeful that Russian aggression against that country could be halted. It is sad to see Ukraine suffer for Zelensky's bad behavior. One theory I have heard is that Democrats and maybe Never Trumpers pumped up Zelensky to do that because they did not want Trump to get credit for ending the war. If that is what happened, they should be ashamed of themselves. They are as evil as the Russians.

What is needed is military intervention to take out the cartel drug factories, which can be done from the air. We also ought to drone the cartel leaders with Hellfire missiles like we drone ISIS and other jihadist leaders.

BCCC is tied to BC Schools. GO GET 'EM. This DEI garbage should not be allowed.

Thank-you Stan. We conservative Republicans appreciate the job you are doing by watching how our tax dollars are being spent, and how these other 4 fools waste those very same dollars.

You continue to be our representative up there, and we will keep paying attention so we can find a way to you some conservative help.

Individuals with security clearances are required to go through in depth background investigations. These investigations become more involved and expansive the higher the level of clearance being required. There are also requirements for people holding security clearances to receive periodic recertification investigations. These are at the 10 year mark for SECRET and 5 year mark for TOP SECRET clearance levels. These reviews and processes are in place to prevent individuals receiving clearances who may be at risk for compromise. Although the system is effective in the majority of cases, human behavior and an individual's personal circumstances change with the passage of time. Someone who is not a threat to national security today could always become one in the future for any number of reasons. The decision to terminate and revoke the clearance of personnel who may be compromised is the right decision. Furthermore, anyone who holds a security clearance has a moral obligation to remain beyond reproach in their conduct and it is a matter of personal responsibility to do so.

Someone should file a complaint against BCCC under this portal. They may not be a K-12 institution but they have an early college high school component of their program, so that should be enought to warrant a complaint against them for DEI. I think that also opens Beaufort County Schools up to a DEI complaint.

Yeah. I was just using the 1.5 years as the statement attributed to Waters in the article. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it were not much longer. The big question is, why was the School Superintendent and the Chair of the County Commission working together independently of the Commission and the School Board?

I remember in 2023 when the new School Board members at that time were accused falsely of representing themselves as the Board to the State Legislature. Wouldn't it be a hoot if it turned out the accusers were doing it themselves. While that's fun to wonder about, it seems pretty likely that Cheeseman and Waters have been doing that sort of thing for a long time.
