The measure of any politician is whether they support the freedoms of the people, starting with the all-important freedom of speech. Democrats do not measure up.

As far as losing an election, if it were an honest election that is one thing but if it were a fraudulent election, that is quite another. Biden could paraphrase a former US senator and claim of 2020 "we stole it fair and square".

The measure of any politician can be found in how they act when they either lose or don't have the votes to carry the day. Makes no difference which party. Defeat will bring out a person true character.

MAGA - unfit to govern

Lazy elected ppl give up their thinking caps 2 the hired staff.
The staff love it, because they know they have th power.

A school board member told me many yrs ago, that he was busy, he had a family, a job, and things to do, and so that is why "we" depend on the staff for these things.

The Washington City Council totally depends on t CityManager who OWNs all of th staff. Staff need 2please him 2keep th job. Test it urself...go ask a council member anything, & he will tell u he will need to ask th citymanager.

EVERY single motion or bill approval, is scripted by t citymanager 4 a council member 2read. It sounds so professional until u realize they were handed a pre written script 2 read. I doubt that many of them digest what they r even reading...4 example what loophole is there 2 unknowingly approve.

Govt ppl r slack & self-serving. If they dont start out that way, they easily turn that way. They think WeThePpl r just an irritant 2b managered.

VOTE Hood! Hood protects taxpayers!

Nobody who reads these boards believes that Little Bobbie, because they have read your posts, which are straight out of the far left's talking points and their Trump hatred. If you want ot see a whaci-o, look in a mirror.

With the breakdown of our law and order, I guess Death Threats to not count.

Federal law prohibits transmitting "any threat to injure the person of another" and penalizes such threats with five years in prison. But not all threats are created equally, and the Supreme Court has determined that only "true threats" can be punished.

A poll here in North Carolina last year showed that 71% of parents are concerned about political indoctrination in the classroom in our public schools. The key battle here is on curriculum, which our GOP Lt. Governor Mark Robinson has fought very hard on at the state level but it has been hard to get the attention of our local school board majority.

I like the British public school statutes that prohibit teachers from covering a politically contested topic unless they fairly present both sides. The last Conservative government in the UK used this law to shut down propagandizing CRT. Also, in a court case about students being shown Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth", the British High Court ruled that it is a propaganda film with multiple misstatements of fact and ordered that it not be shown to school children without disclaimers of those things.

The Biden-Harris regime has made moves against Medicare Advantage, so this is hardly unexpected. Previous posts on the BO have pointed out those moves. At the very least the actions of the Biden-Harris regime will raise the cost of Medicare Advantage to the many seniors who use it. Hypocritically, Harris has been attacking Republicans for being a "threat" to Medicare, when it is her own administration that is gutting it.

Yeah, the psycho is named Kamala Harris. I could give you a reference to an article in a major British newspaper quoting a renowned British psychiatrist who said the Kamala's cackle and word salads are typcial signs of a mental disorder, but you don't like "links".
