Washingtonian: Probably no one right now. This is a very unusual situation, where little information is being divulged by press releases; make that NO information divulged by press releases from the City of Washington.

RH: That's what my Methodist friends told me.

CV: You are right; it is concerning.

I was married in the Methodist Church in 1978, and was a member of Edenton Street Methodist in Raleigh until I moved my family back home here in Washington in 1984. I never attended a regular Sunday service at any Methodist church, here in Beaufort County, but I have been a member at 4 separate churches here in my county.

Now, I am settled at River City Christian Center, which is more of a charismatic congregation, loaded with good, honest, caring folks, understanding a message of salvation through grace, and good works paramount in the attainment of a higher calling on this mortal coil.

I never though the charismatic calling would suit me, but it does. It is a very sincere form of a worshipping fellowship, which is low on politics, and high on non judgemental behavior within this special congregation - perfect for me and my spouse of 47 years.

JV: I think this group that could possibly understand Lib's logic are people who operate from a prior predicate that Conservatives, aka "Normal People," are bad, mean, or wrong, and they will pontificate ad nauseum just to justify their simple position on their industrious neighbors, the backbone of our society writ large.

The title of this article should be:

"As the screws loosen"

As the common sense reader can tell, there have always been a few screws loose within the NC Methodist Conference. Between 2015-2020, the Conference began fuel-injecting Progressive politics into the church.....and eventually caused a complete separation of rural congregations/districts.

Noone should rely on the Independent vote to secure an election, think about that one, BUT, from what I've noticed over the years, Independent voters tend to lean more conservative in key age groups. Her logic is both flawed and desperate.

Through her political and ideological retardation, Lib has shown us the playbook of BOTH the looney left and the RINO right. They BOTH go by the public script and BOTH never deviate from it; they can't look "in-between" and connect the dots.

If you really want to see how close THOSE people go by THE script, engage them about why THEY think MTG announced resignation. I guarantee you they'll dance it.

When this Campbell guy writes that ICE should not enforce the laws of my country, it makes me REAL MAD.

John: I met Tom well over a decade ago, and asked him to contribute to beaufortcountynow.com , which he has done, and I have noticed that the more Tom found his seasoned voice, the more he became Progressive, and now, this ICE post is rather more Leftist than most; due to its serious nature of being a constitutional imperative, one that is rooted in our basic sovereignty as a Constitutional Republic.

I like Tom Campbell well enough as a Liberal; but, I spare him no quarter on this incredibly important issue of do we remain a Nation of Laws or not.

What we should be outraged at, Tom Campbell, is the treasonous Biden regime allowing illegal aliens to flood our country by not enforcing our immigration laws. All of those in that corrupt administration who were responsible for not enforcing our immigration laws should be jailed. Now, we need to demand that our scofflaw state officials join in the task of getting these invaders out of our country and back where they belong. And it would be nice to put useful idiots like Comrade Campbell on the plane with them.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is strong with this one. or is this another loony left attempt at humor, like the Babylon Bee? The economy barely survived the socialist policies of the Biden regime, and Trump is just now getting the ship righted. The runaway debt of the Democrats still plagues our economy as well as their idiotic climate crusade that has driven up our electric rates and other energy prices. Driving up energy prices, as the Democrat climate obsession does, drives up the cost of everything.

The Democrats silly shutdown to demand trillions more in spending tells us where they stand. They want to continue to wreck our economy. We need to send all the Democrats we can packing next year.

Lib: What is about you Leftists not understanding how reality and the history of things is an important element in deriving the truth, and not some fake Democratic Socialists /propagandistic truth, but real truth?

Is it an intelligence issue, or is it an inner vision conundrum? I would love to understand this riddle, for I have a difficult time rationalizing the Leftist perspective.

Tom: When ICE submits detainers to local governments' law enforcement, those detainers should be honored because of the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.

When former sanctuary counties, such as Mecklenburg, with their county seat, Charlotte (a former sanctuary city), elect to resist federal law enforcement there will always be a problem.

The Non Patriot Left loves to ironically profess that "we are a Nation of Laws," when it suits them in subverting justice, but always fail in following laws that are beyond their ability to intellectually comprehend.

Tom: Are you a Non Patriot Leftist? Do you not believe in the Supremacy Clause, when people break our federal laws? Are we not a "Nation of Laws?" Are not Leftist governors, like Stein and Cooper, wrong about most issues simply because they unthinkingly follow the dictums of the Left as a way of solving issues?

Tom, unlike you, I only support smart politicians; I only support patriotic politicians.
