Your assessment seems to be what's going on. I'm wondering about the rest, too. The immediate threat seems to be against Snowden School.

Here's the good news: The 8.20.24 school board meeting is finally up. Here's the bad news: There is no sound for the first 25 minutes of the meeting.

I am aware that members of the Aurora and surrounding communities were going to that meeting, so I called a school board member to verify. Sure enough, the sound was cut for all the speakers from the public which included a number of speakers from Aurora. Also found that board member Hickman made a statement that was not heard on the tape either. Hum. Coincidence?

I've been hearing some rumblings from that part of the county. I think I'm putting my money on those folks having a legitimate gripe.

There is a clear difference on who respected our fallen soldiers from the Biden-Harris botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Biden disrespected them from the very beginning and was MIA on this anniversary of their sacrafice, as was Harris. Trump gave them the respect they deserved. Military families understand that even if whoever writes your crazy talking points does not. The families of these fallen soldiers get it and so do the wider range of military families. You clearly don't. All the military families I know are voting for Trump.

The families that put on the memorial service were happy that the photographers were there to record the event. That crap from the NPR dude who claimed Trump almost got in a fight was lying through his teeth and that claim has been debunked. That is all too typical of Nutty Progressive Radio.

The families who lost their loved ones to the Biden-Harris botched withdrawal from Afghanistan were pleased that Trump participated and not please that neither Biden nor Harris even mentioned their sacrafice in so much as a press release. They completely ignored the anniversay.

When it comes to respecing the dead, it was Trump that did so and Biden and Harris who did not. Heck when the bodies first landed in the US from Afghanistan, Biden repearedly kept looking at his watch while the coffins were unleaded. How more disrespectful can one get?

The left's talking points put an absolutely ridiculous spin on this event, that any discussion with the families involved would totally debunk. Many of those family members even attended the Republican National Convention because they know which party has our servicemen's back, and it is NOT the Biden-Harris circus.

When "rules" are being interpreted by someone who is responsible to a poitical appointee on the other side, like our woke joke of a Defense Secretary, that interpretation is likely to be bogus. Also, you may be relying on the debunked version put out by someone at National Progressive Radio (NPR).

Biden and Harris did nothing to honor our soldiers who were killed in their badly botched Afghanistan withdrawal and they were not happy that Trump and Vance chose to honor them on the anniversary of their deaths. Harris was the last person who talked to Biden about Afghanistan before he made his diastrous decision, which also encouraged Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

There is a huge difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal alien. A legal immigrant is barred from welfare for their first five years in the US, is required to show he or she can earn their own way in our economy and not be a burden on taxpayers, is vetted that they are not a criminal, and has a medical examination to show they are not carrying serious diseases or be a burden on our medical system. Illegal aliens do not go through any of that. Legal immigration is good, but, on the other hand, illegal immigration is a horror story that we need to end.

North Carolina taxpayers need to find out what our state is spending on these freeloaders. Ditto, Beaufort County.

This abomination in France against free speech is the reason we have to elect a strong supporter of free speech like Donald Trump, not a globalist wimp who goes along with censorship like Kamala Harris. Durov is not an American citizen, but what if this happened to someone like Elon Musk, who has already been threatened by the authoritarian censorship regime in the EU? We would need a very robust response like indicting the foreign officials involved for conspiracy against the civil rights of an American, and cutting off visas for citizens of any country that tries to threaten free speech of Americans. We would need strong, forceful and immediate action to defend free speech.

One should also note that the lefwing fascist Labour government in the UK has asserted it can arrest Americans for things they post on American websites. If they try something like that it needs to be soundly smacked down immediately.

President Trump in his next inaugural address should state that our First Amendment freedom of speech is sacred to America and no interference with that by foreign countries will be tolerated.

The FBI stole the 2020 presidential election with their election interference on the Hunter Biden laptop. Everyone involved in any way should be both fired and prosecuted for it. That fact that FBI leadership has done nothing to discipline those involved shows the whole organization is rotten to the core.

You lefties have your panties in a twist because Trump and Vance visited Arlington to honor the American troops killed in the Biden-Harris botched Afghanistan withdrawal on the annivversary of their death. Biden and Harris not only refused to even recognize that anniversary, but both have lied by falsely claiming no Americans were killed in military operations on their watch.

Anywhere in the world where there is a big influx of illegal aliens, there is also a big jump in crime. The two go together.
