Congressman McCormick nailed that climate alarmist loony bird. Thanks for the video.

THe facts are that Trump and Republicans strenuously objected to these distortions of the election statutes and in some cases Constitutional provisions by the Marc Elias sue and settle cases at the time they were being done, BEFORE the election. Republicans are still active trying to force Democrats to follow the election law. Just last week a state court in Michigan, for example ruled for Republicans and ordered Michigan's Democrat Secretary of State to direct local officials to verify the signatures on mail-in ballots and applications after she had, in clear violation of state election law, told them to just presume the signatures were valid.

The rat hole is the one the Democrats have sent our election process down, and we need to get it back out of that rat hole. According to the polling, a majority of voters realize we have some serious provlems with our election system and are concerned about the upcoming election.

SR- go down that rat hole all you want. My hope is that most Americans see it for what it is.

Self serving. If Trump had won, not a word from most of you. Why you would support that orange fathead destroy this country is beyond me.

Best in the world? Not exactly. An international "best practice" for election integrity is photo ID requirements for voters. The US is now the only industrialized country in the world which does not enforce this practice nationally in its elections. Indeed, after years of frivolous lawsuits against it by Democrats, we just this year got it in North Carolina, and half the states do not have it yet. The UK until recently was the only other industrialized country without it, but after massive voter fraud in the Tower Hamlets district of London in a previous election, they have now implemented it nationally.

President Jimmy Carter's commission identified mail-in ballots as being particularly prone to voter fraud. Most European countries either very strictly limit their use or do not allow them at all. In the US, the Democrats, both legislatively and in sue and settle lawshits by Marc Elias have greatly expanded their use, and therefore the liklihood of fraud in the US.

THe US is the only country using that massive invitation to fraud, the unattended ballot drop box. This is another of those Marc Elias schemes to make fraud easier.

One huge red flag to me, based on my experience as a credentialed international election observer in 8 foreign elections, was on election night 2020 when about the same time, the Republican election obervers were kicked or tricked out of the counting rooms in multiple large urban counties in key swing states and counting continued without them beng allowed to observe. Only the most naive would think that a coincidence.

Our election system has gone downhill in a big way, thanks to the Democrats. We need to fight to restore the quality of our elections.

Spot on, Van Zant, Bozo Bob does not bother to read the article linked above so that he might learn some real facts. Instead, he hypes the far left narrative, which is anti-meat.

BB rides a pretty high horse for someone who is utterly and demonstratively wrong about basic facts as much as he is.

Bobbie, you are a keyboard jockey and troll who is clueless on nutrition. What has been determined in recent years to be most damaging to the human diet is highly processed foods, and guess what, dummy, fake meat is a highly processed food. Reed the linked article and you might just learn something.

For nutrision it is a BALANCED diet that is best, but what needs to be avoided is highly processed food.

As usual, you think you know more than university researchers, Bobbie, but you are just displaying your ignorance.

JS- and neither has anyone else. Sure, there is some voter fraud, that is just as likely to occur on the right as it is on the left. And it does. However American elections are some of the best in the world. For you and that idiot trump, to tear down our system is total garbage.

The country is split - I would expect a split outcome in 2024. Just like in 2022 and 2016.

Oh yes I can buy one. Go online. You can too. I'll post a link if you like. About 350 bucks.The Las Vegas mass shooter found them very useful. The Supreme Court says I can own and use one all I want. So...you know, keep your head on a swivel, price of freedom, duck and cover...what ever.

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.
