I believe this is what Bob was referring to.

This post says they were pulled for review along with other books to make sure they dont contain these “redefined” words I assume.

Democrats have been going farther towards the left since Obama.

Nope, it is the "woke" who are dopes. It takes a special kind of stupid to believe the nonsense that y'all do.

Big Bob: Translation for you as resident troll, an alias: You absolutely know nearly nothing of how real things work, yet your comments are constant, and are of little to NO value to real people who actually know what is real.

Translation: I dont have the votes to do what I want ,so clearly it's corruptionstanding in my way, not a rejection of my ideas.

Texas needs to start arresting the border patrol officers who cut the state installed razor wire barriers and more important their bosses who order it. Heck, they ought to convene a state grand jury to investigate and indict high level immigration officials as accessories to human smuggling. Lock Mayorkas up with no bond.

Biden's scofflaw regime is refsuing to enforce our immigration laws for purely political purposes as this Democrat congresswoman admits. They don't care about American citizens at all.

Will Simmons: You are correct in that Democracy can become Mob Rule, and that is why this nation is a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy.

Gary Patrick Tucker: I have absolutely no problem with the "rich tapestry of perspectives in Beaufort County," in fact, I embrace it. Where my problem lies with what you are referring as the "5-2" is that there has been in Beaufort County politics, for decades, is a misrepresentation of presentation of who is who, and what is what. From a functional perspective, this ongoing paradigm of fakery, there has been: corruption in order for individual politicians to succeed; the bipartisan coalition of vote swapping for power sharing between parties; in remaining elected; with the end result is a branding problem individually and collectively.

All I am doing as a politician, and, moreover, a journalist is that I point out what is true and what is real. So, within that "rich tapestry of perspectives in Beaufort County," what I represent to the public is the perspective of honest discourse, and clarity of purpose, to which i encourage others to do the same.

You see, if one is to be that political voice for their constituents, it is better to be an honest one. Singularly, if one is to believe in something such as the Republican Party of Beaufort County, then it needs to be real in its pursuits, which it clearly is not.

To that end, in the election process, where there are two functioning political parties, both with platforms of ideals and conduct of elected officials: there are the Democratic Socialists and there are the Republicans here in the county of Beaufort. I am not in charge of this construct, and generally have had little time to help forge those collected rules for the Republicans; however, I know what they are, and I do abide by those idyllic rules of political purpose. In turn, I expect fellow Republicans to do the same.

When that does not occur, and then, first there exists a cover up, which then becomes a collective lie, the truth will be told by those who are honest for the public has not only a right to know, moreover, the public is charged with a responsibility to know what is true and what is real. That is the only construct where the self-governed can continue to exist within the framework of a Representative Republic.

That is, in part, why the First Amendment provides for a Free Press. In the Public Square of Ideals only truth can exist for wisdom to flourish.

If I am wrong Gary Patrick Tucker, please tell me where and how, and please be specific.
