Thank God for the Beaufort County Conservative Club. As long as the Beaufort County Republican Party operates like the most unethical version of GOP Establishment insiders there will be a need for the Conservative Club. Even if the GOPe started operating under their own rules and became less corrupt, an entity such as the Conservative Club could be a real asset as a partner. I can't see that happening though. The Beaufort County GOPe is just too soulless and rotten.

The Conservative Club and this publication seem to be the only regional platforms that encourage/promote open thought and common sense discussion.

Remember what the Bible said about the two witnesses in the Book of Revelation?

What is the County GOP doing to strong Conservative minds?

I think they're killing the two witnesses, so to say.

NCAE? Is that North Carolinians Against Education?

We wondered where those HS walkouts over ICE enforcement came from. Now we know. Teachers unions. It was particualrly odd since that is not happening on college campuses but did at a couple of high schools. But the teachers union angle explains it all.

One wonders how many of these NEA/NCAE members are teaching in local schools and if they have anything like this up their sleaves? What would out school board do about it if they do? Teachers who encourage students to leave class should be fired.

These teachers unions are nont just un-A,eriocan, but they are anti-American when they engage in these radical activities.

The provisions of the school board policies I moved to change on parent input were some that had come down from Raleigh before I was on the board. They fly in the face of the landmark US Supreme Court decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor, which was decided last summer and upholds parental rights on a wide range of controversial school materials. Indeed, if the issue in any way can be related to religion, as LGBTQ materials were in that case, parental rights now trump eveyone else. I want to see our board revisit this issue so that we can align our policies with the US Surpeme Court ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

Why is Carolyn Walker out recruiting opponents for conservative school board members? Is she trying to set up her own little political machine? It sounds like she is the one who needs to go since she is anti-parent.

The states that issue these corrupt CDLs to illegal aliens ought to be held responsible every time one of the illegal aliens driving a semi truck causes harm to Americans. Trucking companies ought to be heavily fined for hiring them. The Trump administration needs to crack down harder on the states issuing them. Take away their highway money. Make their CDLs not usable in other states. Fine them. Jail them. Whatever it takes. The safety of Americancitiznes on our highways is at risk.

Democratic Socialists' politicians should always be requested to explain everything they do so the world can better understand their vapidity on all issues.

I got a postcard in the mail yesterday telling me that RINO Troxler has endorsed Darren Armstrong. Well, there you have it, a John Edwards "Republican" endorsing a Marc Basnight "Republican".

His mailing also claimed to be "pro-farmer" but this clearly does not run to ALL farmers. Troxler was part of the cabal that tried to put the small independent dairies that supply raw milk to health conscious customers out of business and into bankruptcy last year. From his statements at the recent Conservative Club meeting, Armstrong also wants to put these farmers out of business. What other farmers does this pair want to throw under the bus? The man who recruited Armstrong to run, Raleigh RINO Jimmy Dixon, was the main point man on last year's scheme against the small independent dairies.

Armstrong's postcard also used the word "conservative" without mentioning any specific real issue. That is standard operating procedure for RINOs who are fake conservatives. Heck even some liberal Democrats have played that game including George McGovern in his unsuccessful 1974 Senate campaign. This is an absolute "tell" that Armstrong is as phony as a three dollar bill.

With election time coming, lets give credit where credit is due. Board member Steven Rader made the motion to also consider parents opinions and it was seconded by Board member Charles Hickman. Liberal board member Carolyn Walker spoke against the motion (and thus against parents). Board members Stacey Davis and Donald Shreve also supported the pro-parent motion.

Rader, Hickman, and Shreve are all up for re-election this year. Two of them have opponents recruited by Carolyn Walker. Most of those who opposed parents on this vote will be up for election in 2028. It will be 2028 for Beaufort County to take our school board back. This year, it is mostly protecting the pro-parent members who are being challenged.
