When the school board hires, at the superintendant's recommendation, a school board attorney who lives two and a half hours away in Durham, do you REALLY expect him to have much oversight over things like this? And he is Democrat Party chairman in Durham, to boot?

You have it ass backwards on who is buying the "science" on the climate debate, LIttle Bobbie. It is those who push the climate alarmist mantra for their own political purposes who have put their money into pushing this "science".

It began with the publication of that article on this old and discredited theory in the British magazine "The New Scientist". Some of Margaret Thatcher's team recognized the political usefulness of this theory to her battles with the arab oil sheiks and the militant coal miners union, so they dumped a wad of government money into "research" to promote the global warming through CO2 theory, the first government or any entity to do so. The scientists who first jumped on this money were not the big reputable institutions like Oxford or Cambridge, but instead money hungry minor univerisities like the obscure University of East Anglia. That is why the UK's main climate research center today is still at the University of East Anglia instead of Oxford or Cambridge. The Thatcher government's promotion of this obscure and discredited theory was entirely for political purposes.

Then came the globalists in the form of the UN. They saw the potential to expand the UN's power and influence by promoting this theory and they jumped into it big time.

What has corrupted climate science is government money spent with political objectives in mind, first by Thatcher and more recently by the globalists.

The past president and former prime minister of the Czech Republic, Dr. Vaclav Klaus hit the nail on the head when he called climate alarmism "a budding totalitarian ideology that is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today."

Considering how poorly DEI hires perform, I figured that the 61% number would be higher; maybe closer to 100%.

Why didn't the Beaufort County School Board's liberal Democrat county chairman / attorney catch this clear violation of the law? Was it because the superintendant did not want him to do so?

The parade of prominent scientists who debunk the global warming / climate change narrative in the British TV documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" which was broadcast nationally in the UK on Channel 4 explain clearly why "fossil fuel emissions" have nothing to do with climate.

The facts are here: www.youtube.com

Following junk science, or should we say politicized science is what make YOU an idiot, Bolshevik Bob. The CO2 climate narrative does not fit the Earth's known climate history, so what idiot who does not have something to gain would rationally think it would fit with our climate future? The CO2 climate theory was concocted in the 1890s by a Swedish physicist but was discredited and forgotten until a British magazine did an article about 1970 mentioning the old theory and it caught the eye of two groups who decided the theory would be useful to them politically so they promoted it.

In America, we believe in being considered innocent until proven guilty. In these situations the Democrats are assigning guilt to people who have not even been CHARGED, when there were law enforcement investigations that COULD have charged them if there was any basis for it. What the Democrats are doing is EXTREMELY UNAMERICAN.

As to cults, Bobbie, you are a member of the biggest doomsday cult in history, climate alarmisn, also known as Climate Scientology.

As to clean records, the DOJ found nothing on Gaetz they could pursue although they have loved to have found something. Ditto, the police as to the claim against Hegseth, although they were not the political hatchet types like the DOJ. Both men have been exonerated by law enforcement which did not find anything to charge either with.

Now Biden Secretary of State, Tony Blinken was outed as the organizer of one of the biggest scams in recent political history, the coverup of the Hunter Biden laptop story. Did Biden make him resign when he was found out? Heck no. That political chicanery stole an election and there were no consequences to him.

Appointees should also be vetted on ability to do the job, which both Gaetz and Hegseth have been. Biden's appointee as Chairman of the Council of Economics, however, was woefully unqualified, having no training in economics, his degrees being in music and sociology. We saw what happened to our economy following his advice.

Well, trump and the cult appear clueless. He should have picked PB right off the bat. It’s just stupid.

Is it really that hard to find a Democrat without a sex scandal?

Joe Biden digitally (with his finger) raped his Senate staff member Tara Reid. And Kamala Harris? We all know about her sex scandal with Willie Brown. Then, of course, there is Kamala's husband and his scandals with at least two women.

And you can view the arrest warrant or indictment on Hegeseth .. . . oh, well, NOWHERE, because the police investigation found NOTHING.
