Big Bob: Is that one of your favorite words?

Why am I posing this as a question; Big Bob, history shows here on Eastern NC NOW that this may well be one of your favorite words.

I ask again why does your Leftist mind keep you preoccupied on Race? Do you believe that this endears you to anyone with a full working brain?

Big Bob: I am not consumed with Race as you are, so DO NOT stupidly conflate all of your insipid issues with Race (in particular your Racial conflict of choice being Blacks v Whites), and then lay them at my feet as if I am a party to this madness. My elevated ability to know what is destroying this Republic; most notably, the low intellect of pathetic Leftists seeking to divide everyone, in particular by Race, into categories that Leftists can easily control by whatever ignorant means necessary, allows me the good conscience to patently discard the sophistry of abject Leftists such as yourself.

I am not alone. There are many other patriotic Americans are well of the fact that: Leftists are a trifling sort of fools, and their non patriotic tendencies, and their bold, baffling ignorance of what is real makes them no more than a nuisance going forward.

Teaching racial division like CRT and DEI is just promoting a new kind of segregation. We need school board members with the backbone to put a stop to it.

Big Bob: You have to know by now that one man's unfocused, ill considered "progress" to appease the pear pressure of the Non Patriot Left is just another man's understanding of what constitutes the manifestation of pure, unbridled stupidity spewed as if it would be real, which it currently is not.

Big Bob, your Leftist fixation on Race and support Trans issues, women's "reproductive health" (a total Leftist misnomer), and whatever else is topical for Leftist fools is truly blowing out whatever brain cells you might have once had.

Big Bob: What "ton of probable cause" regarding Mr. Trump?

By the way, you do know that word "ton" is purely a measurement of weight /force.

No wonder RFK, Jr. switched to run as an Independent. There is not much internal party democracy in the "Democratic Party". It is nothing but a Biden machine, and they are trying to play undemocratic hardball tactics against Republicans, too like Stalin Show Trials against Trump.

Bubba, it is quite common for there to be credible arguments on both sides of a legal question. In government, policy differences and issues of power and control between various levels of government are often dealt with as legal issues, and can often be argued from either side. That is why it is important in a government office to have attorneys who are on the same policy wavelength as the elected decision makers.

I served as General Counsel of the largest department of NC state government in the Jim Martin administration. At the end of administration, with an incoming Democrat administration, the new Democrat governor removed every departmental general counsel in state government, because we were all Republicans, even though in most cases they did not have a new appointee ready to fill the offices.

Another example is the relationship between attorneys for the Martin administration and the Democrat Attorney General. We often took different legal positions based on policy differences. Indeed, Governor Martin's Chief Counsel sent out a memo stressing that no agency in the administration should request an Attorney General opinion on any significant matter of policy but should issue our own departmental legal opinions instead. Three times, when lower agencies within our department unilaterally submitted something for an AG opinion, I had to write departmental opinions taking the opposite legal position. All three times those conflicting legal opinions were reviewed by higher authorities, and each time our departmental legal opinion prevailed over the AG opinion.

There are lots of conflicts in the law, caused by such things as differing statutes, differing opinions of the meaning of statutes, interpretations of appellate court decisions, and the like. Sometimes the law is very clear cut with no wiggle room, but very often, statutes and court decisions have have widely varying interpretations.

When it comes to public schools, DPI wants to control as much as they can, and sometimes is overbearing in its overreach. I remember 40 years ago, when a fellow member of the old Pitt-Beaufort Conservative Union, who was a conservative Democrat and served as school board attorney in Pitt County commented at one of our meetings about how the best way to deal with DPI's demands that local schools do or not do something was to challenge their legal authority to make the demand. Very often they did not have the authority they asserted, and they backed down. Indeed, quite often they did not even respond to his challenge to their authority and the local schools just kept doing things the way they wanted. Having a local school board attorney who is willing to stand up to DPI and assert the local school board's position is something every school board should do because the law is often not as clear cut as DPI would like.

As usual, your information is very outdated, Bobbie. There is only one of the Koch brothers still alive. When the Koch apparatus went all-in on supporting illegal immigration and amnesty, and partnering with groups of the left to do so, they made themselves persona non grata among conservatives. The surviving Koch must have gone senile.

The Koch candidate for president, Nikki Haley illustrates just how far off track the Koch organization has gotten. Haley has said we should look to the desires of big companies on what to do on immigration, while she also wants to stamp out internet privacy.

Trump said “They’re coming after you — and I’m just standing in their way”.

Big Bob: CRT or DEI is not about about race, it is about stupidity, and, ultimately, just how far the Non Patriot Left thinks they than thrust this special brand of contrived ignorance down the throats of real Americans.

I am sorry that you are mixed up in this bonecrushingly stupid initiative. I will be watching closely to make sure our local public schools, funded by tens of millions of local tax dollars, is not.

You are right Bubba, we just haven't been successful. Yet.
