Having served as a political appointee in the Jim Martin administration for five years, I have seen first hand how the success or failure of a governor depends on their management ability and their ability to properly staff an administration. Martin was a successful governor because he himself had strong managerial abilities and surrounded himself with others who also did, and because he staffed his administration with principled conservative Republicans who shared his vision of government. Martin cruised to reelection. On the other hand, Pat McCrory was a failure at both management and staffing, and those failures led to his being a one term governor.
The only one of the three candidates who has proven management and staffing abilities in government is Dale Folwell, who is superb at both. Mark Robinson is at the other end of the spectrum, having totally failed to hire a competent staff or exhibit any management abilities even for the small Lieutenant Governor's office. Folwell is also the only one who has proven he has the backbone to actually deliver on conservative policy. It is all well and good to talk about policy, but the key is actually delivering on it. It is clear to me that Folwell can handle the job while is it highly unlikely that Robinson could.

This is exactly what we can expect here in the United States from Biden's treasonous border policies.

Six of our school board members have a record of only listening to Cheeseman, not to the public. I doubt they will change, so voters will need to change our five of them in this years election, so we get school board members who listen to the public instead of being puppets of a leftwing bureaucrat.

Borderhawk: I was just providing a bit of levity with the "Undocumented" nonsense; however, on the non levity part of my passage, I did lose the "aliens" reference in my thoughts, and that correction will be made on a few things.
Too many thoughts, too little time, so thanks for the reminder.

Stan, an illegal alien is no more an "undocumented immigrant" than a street corner drug dealer is an "unlicensed pharmacist". The immigration statutes in the United States Code define these interlopers as "illegal aliens". That is the correct legal term for them under the laws of our country.
There should be zero tolerance of ANY crime, no matter how slight, by these moochers who should not be in our country in the first place. Any crime committed should be their immediate ticket home. Biden is not even sending them back for serious crimes. We need Trump to be our deporter in chief. Pakistan just rounded up and deported half a million illegal aliens in three months. We can do even better than that if we have a president with the will to do it.

Illegal Aliens, or undocumented refugees-in-fellowship, if one is of the Democratic Socialist persuasion, is more than a causational issue for the Non Patriot Left. Actually, it is their planned vehicle to seize power in all future elections by creating the United States of America's abrupt Demographic shift to make all democratic elections a sure thing by granting full amnesty to these Illegals (we are now back to discussing this reality like a non idiot adult), so that your hard won right to vote is soon be cancelled by those publicly-funded-Illegals-granted-amnesty-by-non-patriot-Leftists.
Of course, there will always be those virtue signaling Leftists that will cry out: "There are no Illegals;" just like, "there are no non patriots!" Yeah ... Right. Now in this real world of every outrageous negative action deserves an equally positive reaction; just wait for the future reality of far too many Republicans getting elected to congress, while Real Republican Patriots occupy the White House for at least the next 12 years, and then, be patient, and consider, "What Happened(!)," as the Massive Deportations begins, while The Wall is finally Completed, and then it will be certain that OUR Constitutional Republic is nearly saved from those that wish to destroy US. And "Dreamers" ... It was all just a fleeting dream. The Non Patriot Left's planned invasion made sure of that.

Mark Robinson is being exposed as a phoney. He is little more than a puppet of uber-RINO Phil Berger. Berger did not want Robinson taking stands on actual issues in the General Assembly so Robinson said "yes, Boss" and went silent on issues. Now, Berger has given him a list of RINOs to endorse, including Brinson in this district, and Robinson again says "yes, Boss" and does it. Berger is galloping leftward on a wide range of issues, and Robinson is going right along with him. North Carolina can do better.

Big Bob, I must have missed something. I don't recall any news of Maga's burning down cities, causing riots, killing cops, staging mass looting, or tearing down history. They plan to restore law and order and comply with our constitution.

Commented on Trillions Spent on ‘Climate Change’ Based on Faulty Temperature Data, Climate Experts SayThe fact is that if you look at Earth's climate history, the alternating warming and cooling cycles clearly have nothing to do with CO2. That is a red herring from the climate alarmists. A good example is looking at the 20th century. Most of the warming happened during the Depression when industrial production was more limited. After the Second World War, when industrial production really took off, temperatures fell. They did not start rising again until the next recession. The temperature pattern, even within the current natural warming cycle simply does not fit with industrial production.
For your Chicken Little crowd, the Industrial Age conveniently started just as the most recent cooling period, the Little Ice Age was ending, so of course temperatures went up coming out of a cooling period.

The problem is WOKE running the school system, and in Beaufort County that means ineffective seat warmers rubber stamping what woke superintendant Chesseman wants them to do.
Assuming by MAGA, you mean Trump, he did a heck of a lot better job running government than that woke idiot Biden. But the three conservatives on the school board currently are more traditional conservative than populist (MAGA) conservative.

New York is proved to be one of the two most corrupt states in the nation in regards to its lawless Judicial system, a system that celebrates Democratic Socialist activism and their abject ignorance forthwith.

Stan gets full credit for allowing differing opinions on this site. Many far right and left sites only tolerate their own viewpoint. Although I disagree with him on most issues, on this we agree.
He is smart to do. Its brings more traffic.

This is what a weaponized DOJ looks like. Their non patriot Leftist justification to persecute Christians in direct opposition to unfettered, publicly financed (Planned Parenthood, with political kickbacks in contributions, every election cycle, to corrupt Democratic Socialist politicians) taking of the lives of the undefended unborn is abhorrent to all extremes.
That these pathetic Leftists do this, in great part, for political and financial gain is not only utterly corrupt, but outrageously evil This is at the core of the Non Patriot Left movement; it is an evil that I will not tolerate.

While, you Non Patriot Leftists have fully weaponized the awesome ignorance of your kind, while using our tax funded institutions against the rest of us, to prove your insipid self-aggrandizement of self-professed and self-obsessed moral superiority over far smarter, far better Americans is an afront to all of what is still good within this brutalized Republic.
What monstrous hubris of what is so lacking of so much by so many?

It is. Because the rest of us understand no one group gets everything they want. We understand there is a give and take. We understand that common sense requires the ability to compromise.
MAGA - their way or the Highway. They will burn this country down in order to get what they want. They will destroy the ties that bind us as a people and a country. Completely unfit to govern.

Big Bob: With what the smarter, far more decent and good Americans are learning about the cheating to win elections for babbling Non Patriot Democratic Socialist Fools, and what we are learning about the grift of the corrupt Merrick Garland DOJ and the corrupt Christopher Wray FBI, every time I hear a Leftist utter, slur or bumble through a mumble in an utterance of "January 6th," I feel a little sorry for them, because abject ignorance is an awesome burden to bear, but theirs alone.

Sure Big Bob, and the Non Patriot Left is doing such a wonderful job with their: DEI stupidity of function; their wanton Election Interference of purpose; their destruction of the American spirit as they dumb down our people of all ages with their constant flood of lies built upon abject ignorance; rampant crime and sex trafficking for profit; selling our state secrets and our military's structure of purpose; constant and consistent corruption in business and at all levels of Democratic Socialist governing; and who could ever forget their Baby Killing for Sport, and locking up Christians who protest.
Yeah Big Bob: "MAGA" is the real problem here in America.

This is a Free Speech platform, the only Free Speech platform originating from Beaufort County, in the entire history of Beaufort County, and while I will allow racist inspired comments as a Free Speech platform, I fully expect the many fair minded patriots that frequent, and comment often on this platform to speak in a truthful and knowledgeable manner to denounce all vestiges of racism when they witness it.
And, if they don't, then I will. So far, I am pleased with that balance of good sense versus its antithesis of such.
