According to a retired Education professor I was talking to today, this would be one of the largest K-3 elementary schools in the state of North Carolina. No other K3 elementary school in the area comes close to housing 1,000 students. I can just imagine the traffic jams of parents picking up and dropping off that many kids at one school together with all the buses. Does that make good sense? Is that what is in the best interest of education in Beaufort County?

The planning process has been behind closed doors, but it is apparent that the school system has failed to get a school population study, which DPI will do for free if asked. Our system has a declining enrollment, and this mega school may be a white elephant in a few years. There are also studies that can be done, coordinated by DPI but actually done by NC State University, that calculate where in a county the school population will be in the future. That would seem to be critical in figuring out where to put a new school. Apparently this was not done either. I recall in the past hearing projections of population growth to the west of Washington instead of on the east side of it, but I am not sure how that plays into school age population.

All of us as taxpayers want to see our public funds used in the most effective manner possible, and from what is apparent so far, this project does not meet those standards.

Bob, Simmons and the rest of panel,

For the record, I was an early supporter of President Trump and continued to support him until around 2021. After I started looking at things from a position separate of any party doctrine, I noticed that things appeared to be heavily scripted and controlled to bring about pre-manufactured outcomes.

I never thought that I would question the things I now question but I felt a strong gut feeling to relearn what I thought I learned.



Nothing is one sided in any situation and it's not "conspiracy theory" to conclude it to be highly probable that both the characters of "Trump" and "Biden" are playing controlled opposition to bring about a singular outcome.

If any of this is true, getting involved and asking serious questions (in the proper manner) would really disrupt what is going on geo-politically. It's already happening but as Schwab said: "The revolution will not be reported."

The point is what it says.

You can’t get a bump stock Bob, and why would you want to? They are a hazard to all involved. Not to mention utterly useless for hitting a target.

I sense that this is your approach to all issues though. A spray and pray technique, rather than a disciplined approach. You should practice your aim my friend because you are missing the mark.

I'm glad. Safety means everyone should carry at all times. Where can I get a bump stock? I'm worried about right wing Christian nationals and want to be able to defend myself.

Then we would truly be in a deceptive time Mr. Valley. As for our constitution, it is modeled more after the doctrines of Babylon than the word of God, but nevertheless it is what we have.

While there are some Republicans who can correctly be called Uniparty like Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, John Boehner, Mitt Romney, Lisa Burkowski, THom Tillis, Phil Berger, and Tim Moore, trying to suggest Trump is one is way out there. There was lots of fraud in the 2020 election, mostly engineered by Democrat shyster Marc Elias to screw Trump and the conservatives.

Electronic voting machines are an invitation to election fraud. Musk is right on the money on this one.

I agree Bob. People would commit less shootings if there is a high probability they may be shot back. Unfortunately this has become the case in our society.

Our election process relies completely on our faith in our institutions. Whether or not the election for the previous president was tampered with unfortunately is irrelevant at this point being it was certified by an elected congress. We must take care in not destroying the constitution in search of the justice of men.

From here on the losing party will always claim the election is rigged. Some claims may be true, but eventually all will lose faith in the system until the system collapses and this is the true goal.

To know the truth we know Satan holds the keys to the Governments and kingdoms of men, but God alone appoints the rulers thereof.

Consider the scriptures saying:

“ And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.

And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,

And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.

But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.

And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.

Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.

And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king.

And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.

And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.

And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.

And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.

And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.

And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.

He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day.

Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;”
