Rather than having general supervision of the affairs of the Party within the county, with the advice and consent of the Executive Committee, Ms. Garris is unilaterally dictating to the Executive Committee. Oftentimes she doesn't even tell them what she is doing. If a member is bold enough to ask, she unilaterally excommunicates them.

She didn't like the results of the last Republican Convention, so she made her own committee (Victory Committee) to take their place. That's a complete violation of the Convention itself. Then she started unilaterally getting rid of convention elected members. That's a violation of the party Plan of Organization.

At this point, the Executive Committee should make hearings for excommunicated members a secondary concern and that is not something even on the horizon now. The first hearing before the committee should be for Ms. Garris and her crimes.

But is there even a functioning committee left? Are there enough knowledgeable members left? Are the majority of the existing members unethical shills for this departure from virtue? Any credible Beaufort County party may already be destroyed. The ramifications of this level of unopposed corruption are worse than many can immediately imagine. Grassroots Republicans in Beaufort County have been betrayed. Pray for the ethical leaders still left.

John Valley, keep your ear to the ground. Some things are in my article "Queen Garris and her Victory Committee which will be posted on this site shortly.

The really stinky stuff has not been written about yet. Queen Garris and the Victory Committee see it coming so they are trying to deflect. The gossip sites are becoming active about people who are not directly involved in the Beaufort POO.

The Republican POO....ain't that acronym ironic lol.

That's what all this is.....a buncha POO kayfabe; it's like something Vince Jr and (Jim) Cornette would script out. The Old Man, Clark and Knight are being portrayed as the "Heels" and Garris/Breed/Kidwell/etc are being portrayed as "babyfaces". IMO, this looks like a localized "regime change" effort. Somebody knows something the public doesn't know BUT certain parts of the GOP have put together more than "somebody" realizes.

Why are certain conservatives being targeted and called to resign by a**hole Republicans trying to play babyface?

Hmmmmm.....are they worried about something?

No

Good to know. Thank you for this information.

Darren Armstrong is evasive about where he stands on most anything, but it is interesting to see which issues he seems to concentrate on.

In response to questions at the BCCC meeting, Armstrong was fairly brief and general in response to questions on gun rights and the Green New Deal, indicating little interest in those subjects. Where he went into great detail, but without saying he was committed to that side was offering purported justification for shutting down the raw milk farmers, and in purported justification for prohibiting North Carolinians who get cancer from products of an out of state chemical company from being able to sue that company over their cancer. Those are key positions of his recruiter for this campaign, Raleigh RINO Jimmy Dixon. Dixon is also anti-gun, being the "hard no" in the GOP caucus against overriding the governor's veto of the Constitutional Carry bill.

Even though he claims not to have a position yet, it was clear that in reality he would vote with Dixon to put the small independent dairies which sell raw milk out of business and to deny North Carolinians who get cancer from the products of that out of state chemical company the right to sue them for their cancer. But on gun rights and Green New deal, who knows what he would do?

There was this one upside to these "mostly peaceful protests," with at least one, maybe two participants rising quickly to the top in the selection of this this year's Darwin Awards; those who knowingly or unknowingly, but graciously remove their genetic information from the collective gene pool - www.beaufortcountynow.com .

Glad to see this. There are some of these similar cases pending here in NC. It will hopefully put a stop to evil doctors who profiteer from genital mutilation of children.

What hogwash. The Chair and her inner circle do not have the legitimate power to be the Executive Committee unilaterally. I've spoken with many of the Conservative Republican Club members that are also on the Beaufort County Republican Party Executive Committee. They all said that in Conservative Club meetings, they have given the recusal vote speech on some matters because of conflict of interest so many times that most of them don't even do it anymore for the sake of time. They just don't vote or vote recuse. If the present-day Beaufort County Republican Party would have a hearing this all could come out, but that is not what these power mongers want. They want an exclusive party and sole control of it.

The way this is going under the 'leadership' of these monsters, an executive committee meeting will be listening to speeches from their favorites, finish running all (those undesirable-to them), conservatives off, sing a little self-congratulation song, and let that shadowy "Victory Committee," who-ever-they-are, handle all the Executive Committee business and report to no one. This is not an executive committee operating under the Plan of Organization. It is the Mafia.

These people have illegally erased the results of the last county convention and are now illegally running the party with an illegal shadow committee. They are not operating under any legal Republican Party Plan of Organization.

Maybe, we should deport the anti-ICE insurrectionists along with their illegal alien criminal buddies.

Sorry, Washingtonian but the records of the North Carolina Board of Elections show that it is you who are the liar, or at least you are repeating someone else's lie.

NC Board of Elections records show that Darren Armstrong has only made three legislative campaign contributions in his life. All three were for $1,000 each and the recipient of all three was liberal Democrat State Senator Marc Basnight (D-Dare).

Those records do not show ANY contributions from Darren Armstrong to any candidate or political committee during the 2022 election cycle. Campaign finance law would require any political committee raising money for candidates to file a report with the state Board of Elections, with names of contributors and amounts. Those would be shown in their records. There is NO report of ANY contribution activity from Darren Armstrong in 2022. If Armstrong made the contribution you claim, it would show up on the NC Board of Elections records, but in fact their records show NO such contribution..

NO, Washingtonian, the NC Board of Elections is NOT lying. You, or your source ARE.

And when it comes to honesty, Washingtonian, you are backing a stealth candidate who will not level with the voters about what his positions on issues are. That is the hallmark of an establishment hack, aka a RNIO or Undocumented Democrat.

Beaufort County Schools are facing this same issue with our science curriculum. The top vendors have given us proposed curricula that push the climate activist position without mentioning other scientific viewpoints. During their presentations to the school board, I asked about this and the vendor representatives said they would look into it and get back to us.

The liberal Democrat dominated state school board has included the climate activist view as something students will be tested on, but our local board could and should require students be taught that there are other scientific theories on climate Students should be informed of all sides on controversial issues so we are teaching them how to think, not what to think.

The UN and the WEF push the CO2 global warming theory heavily, and students should be aware of it, but there is also some very serious science that refutes it, too, and students should be aware of that as well. One excellent presentation of the other side of the science is the British TV documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" which was broadcast nationally on the UK's Channel 4 and can be watched at this link: www.youtube.com
