Careful Hood, it seems like these self-labeled "True Republicans" are gearing up for another crazy sexual harassment charge to be laughed out of court again. Obviously, they will do anything to avoid anything real.

Most of us also learned in school that it is the Greenhouse Effect that keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain life. The most important greenhouse gas is water vapor which accounts for over 90% of the Greenhouse Effect. C)2 is a very minor greenhouse gas.

Most of ;us also learned in school that the cycle of life is not a closed system. CO2 is emitting by animals, volcanoes, rotting vegetation, and many other natural souces. Plants take in that C)2 in photosynthesis and give off oxygen as part of the process. Burning various fuels is a fairly minor course of CO2.

The biggest source of CO2, however, are the oceans. When the climate cools, they absorb CO2 and when the climate warms, they release CO2. Studies of CO2 in the atmosphere reveal that it is a hundred or so years AFTER a climate cycle starts that CO2 in the atmosphere either increases or decreases which shows that more CO2 is a RESULT of a warming climate, not a cause of it.

It is likely that there will always be a cadre of gullible true believers like "Bib Bob" who will keep believing their lies.

Again, we learn in 3rd grade that the earth, over time, warms and cools. No question. In high school we learn that since the industrial revolution humans began burning fossil fuels at an unprecedented rate. On planet earth 49 million barrels of oil are combusted per day. Everyday. Let that sink in.

Your notion that humans can burn this much fuel in a closed system without consequence is...misguided. And that is the flaw in your argument. You want to conclude the earth's heating and cooling is a natural cycle, it is, but you refuse to factor the obvious variables impacting the system.
Don't feel bad, it happens all the time and is why the scientific method is more of a verb than a noun. it evolves as we get better at factoring in the variables.

Open primaries are a dumb, dumb, dumb idea. A good conservative in Tennessee has paid the price for letting non-Republicans vote in primaries. Here is Beaufort County, conservatives lost two races because non-Republicans were able to vote in our primaries. It is past time to close our own primaries, but the state party leadership has been thwarting grassroots efforts to do that.

This is a disaster. Andy Ogles has been a very strong voice for sanity in our immigration laws and process and stopping the invasion of our country by illegal aliens. Losing him is bad enough, but being replaced by a big farmer is the worst of all worlds. Big farmers see illegal immigration as part of their business model, exploiting cheap labor by illegal aliens.

the poster boy for how bad big farmers are on immigration is Indiana Congressman Marlin Stutzman, who is a hard line conservative on everything EXCEPT immigration. Not only does Stutzman vote wrong on immigration legislation but he evern co-sponsors amnesty bills. This Hatcher appears even worse, however, because he is clearly also liberal on Green New Deal issues,

I need to join this lawsuit because I was assaulted at the same place but 3 times instead and it is on video.

I never said she was a woman. She attacked me because i am a man. That attack was more lies.

JS: If you are referring to a cat fight between conservatives and the self-proclaimed "True Republicans" it is important to recognize that the "True Republican" party leader in Beaufort County, and her minions, are publicly attacking conservative Republican candidates in a general election season. It is not right to be doing this under the banner of the local Republican Party. There is abundant evidence pointing this out. You seem to be minimalizing her behavior. It is clear that this is just not appropriate especially in a general election season. Her behavior has brought us to a point well beyond any possibility of a credible vote of confidence. This is the reality of this sorry situation.

Looks like Washington's rules of procedure for City Council needs to be handed out to ALL the City Council members so this doesn't happen again!

Blah, blah, blah. Why do you keep attacking and degrading women? Why are you so obsessed with this hard working lady? The taxpayers have paid you long enough. Time for you to hang up your dagger and go home. You are no longer relevant. May peace find you.

Citizens should know about Washington's most absurd taxpayer ripoff, that nothing has been done about. During the Sadler era, two DEI positions were created, using Police Department funds, one each to "help" black and Hispanic residents. There is no set work schedule or duties, but high level paychecks. These positions were totally unnecessary and just a burden on taxpayers, and it was particularly galling to pay for them out of the police budget.

These positions were continued in this year's budget. City Manager John Rorie just moved them from the police budget to another department, but kept the taxpayers paying for this ripoff. The city council needs to answer for this outrage.

This is just one blatant example of the wasteful and unnecessary spending our taxpayers are burdened with.

You are absolutely right, Country Girl. The Spanish have already identified over a hundred jihadist extremists that were among the invaders of Ceuta. The US has found hundreds of extremists on our terror watch lists who came in through Biden's open borders. Biden even let an entire new criminal gang which had not previously been into the US, the Tren de Araguq into our country en mass.

Bobbie, climatologists have used tree rings, ice core samples and other things to study the Earth's past climate history. In his famous climate movie, Al Gore stands on a stage before a chart of Earth's climate past showing these cycles or warming and cooling, and does a slippery job of trying to compare them to CO2 levels. Climategate "plumber" Dr. Michael Mann tried to use tree ring data to claim the cycles never occured, but got caught in brazen data manipulation to highly fudge his numbers.

There are also lots of other indicators such as the area where vineyards could be grown, which takes a certain warmth of the climate. In the Medieval Warm Period, vineyards thrived in the north of England and much farther north on the European continent than today. They do not thrive in those places even now, even with the warming we have had in the present cycle.

The Earth's climate cycles have always been accepted in real climate science. It is only some of the globalist ideologues of the CO2 climate cult that find this science inconvenient.

Sadly the USA will look just as bad if not worse if the demoncrats get their way if they take over.

There are a few things that are certain in life. Death comes to mind. Taxes are another. And added to that list is that Mr. Richardson will be an obnoxious a-hole in every article he writes.

Besides the same 6 anonymous commenters that wipe his rear every article I assure Mr. Richardson that no one gives a damn about his ex-officio status. What they do care about is that he is a power-hunger megolomaniac that doesn't care that he consistently does conservatism a disservice by attacking Republicans, constantly playing the victim and of course not stepping foot in a zchool for over 20 years.

The only thing he is consistent out is acting like a crybaby.His articles produce yawn after yawn and I would tell him at a meeting but he would probably be asleep again.

Nobody claimed "sexual harassment" until ol' boy blew at the starting line.

Hell, at least these women were legal! Edwards ain't done nothing that most of them on the Investigation Committee haven't already done. They truly are desperate for people to get all riled up about a politician chasing hind parts, poll numbers for someone must be FUBAR.

This is another distraction piece by the Fake stream Media: truly another instance of "Don't look at my left hand over HERE because my right hand's way the hell over in Greensboro doing God knows what".

Lawyers, guns and money.
The shit has hit the fan."

This is a huge mess. I have also heard that Roberson found some of the skeletons in the previous group's closet, and that set off a panic to get rid of him quickly so that could be swept back under the rug. I wonder if those items stemmed from the previous manager or from the Sadler apparatus or a combination of both. Tyree's anti-Roberson posturing would suggest that the Sadler bunch was at least partly responsible. What was really strange was how Perrault also jumped on that bandwagon.

Maybe Washington needs to make a clean sweep and get a totally new set of city elected officials next election. For the next year and a half, Tyree seems to be running the show, and will probably select the new interim and manager. He took the lead in pushing Rorie out.

According to what a lawyer said at a meeting I was at, the city also has another serious problem with their payout to that former city manager they "fired". A North Carolina supreme court decision said that it is illegal for a lame duck local government like a city council to make personnel changes between an election and the time the new government body takes office. This "firing" took place during that time and is therefore not legal. What will the city do to get back our tax money they paid out improperly? If it is already gone to that former manager, can they get it back from the council members for voted for that improper action that cost taxpayers big bucks?

That British satire on global warming is a scream, even if you have to click the link and then turn on the sound. The solar powered submarine was really funny. The other one from Minnesotans for Global Warming is good satire, too, especially Al Gore behind bars.

Because they kept temperature records globally 600 plus years ago.

Not even close, Little Bobbie. It was considerably warmer during the Medieval Warm Period which ended 5 or 600 years ago, and very much warmer during the Holocene Maximum which lasted three thousand years and included the golden era of ancient Greece. Humans and the planet did just fine during both the Medieval Warm Period and the Holocene Maximum. In fact, they prospered.

But you are right in one sense. The totalitarian globalists will keep beating this dead horse, even though they are proven liars. See the Climategate emails, for example.
