If something is too good to be true, it's because it is. I think that big ol' boy from y'all's way at that Pitt County function is right:

"Trump's the good cop and the character playin' Biden's the bad cop. Trump is the designated one to run this s*** in the ground and you know who's gonna help him do it? Evangelicals who are so mind controlled that it isn't funny!"

I hate to say it but I think he's right.

Van Zant: That is exactly what I remember.

The problem is that for years now, there has been a take over of the local Beaufort County GOP by people that want to remake what in means to be a Republican, and Commissioner Hood Richardson stands in their way because in "The Hood Territory," Republicans are a far different breed.

I could never be Hood Richardson, we have experienced far different pasts, but unlike these interlopers, who have no clue how Republican politics are designed to work in the age of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, and many more who will abide by common Republican precepts; working together to achieve a far different governing principal than what we continue to experience here in Beaufort County.

Is Hood's now famous resignation important? Not to me; maybe not especially important to even Commissioner Richardson, but it is to these Center - Left lackeys, and therefore they render unto it abundant life, and in their infamous reality, it is the unvarnished symbol of their undeserved hubris to the point of their well deserved sophistry.

My hair's turnin' white
My neck's always been red
My collar's still blue

One more thing, why in the Holy name of God do fourth graders need emails?

Cheeseman has received awards for being ”Superintendent of the year”from NERESA and the RTM Business Group. How does one receive honors pertaining to education, when schools in his jurisdiction are performing dismally? I’ll tell you.

The award was given for making them money. The recognition that Mr. Velveeta beams in is that of a group of slick salesmen. These organizations hold their retreats in fancy locations, hoping to lure in vain educators, who personally have nothing to offer students, so they gather together and congratulate each other on their bowel movements to make themselves feel important. Little do these educators know, but to the salesman hosting, it is a “who can bring the idiot with the deepest pockets” contest.

If your wondering what they are selling, you’d never guess….. Made to order, box-set, state of the art, high-tech, brand-spanking new, top of the line, melt your mind digital learning programs, (and more)

I mean the founder of RTM has a degree in psychosocial studies, not education. It might as well just say hypnotist. There is a direct correlation between failing scores, and digital lunacy. As soon as these purchased programs were implemented, the actual learning ceased. The rollout of digital learning was done in the shadow of Covid, so people would not see it as the absolute sink elbow water it is.

Most people don’t take the time to look into anything, but it scares how far a little research goes.

When it comes to statements, this one is true:

The students of BCS have literally been sold out by their Cheesecake of a superintendent, to the point he was given multiple awards. Think on it.

Georgia Republicans are a bit backwards. North Carolina Republicans, except for the Conservative class, have their problems too. Maybe, one day, we can raise a crop of smart Conservative patriots and turn it all around.

I am doing my part, but it has been a major struggle with the institutionalized corruption flung so far and wide. Republicans need to such vestiges of evil like Jesus treated Satan.

Will gave his sources, Bobbie, but instead of merely questioning those, you made a broad sweeping statement about this issue at all schools in America. You offer no sources, only your own ideological belief and still fail to do so.

Any boy who thinks he is a cat or a girl or Napoleon needs mental health help and probably a stay in an institution.

The Green Slush Fund is designated to test the stupidity level of Leftists.

If the grown woman was truly raped, why did she wait decades to seek justice, and did she pay for her lawyers, since the statute of limitations had run, or did someone else?

Bid Bob: You seem to be the authority on this case, so please explain, and also, please drop the Leftist clichés.

That is simply crooked New York "justice", Bobbie.

Joe Biden has never been held to account for his digital (with his finger) rape of Tara Reade, who was his Senate employee. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have never been held to account for their multiple sexual assaults / Rapes. Yet Jean Carroll can extract money on a made up fantasy.

Back on planet earth - A judge is deciding how much Trump will have to pay for raping Jean Carroll.
MAGA - completely unfit to govern.

Again it doesn’t matter if there was a letter. It was never given to the BCGOP at the time. Anything that was produced today would not be the original. Also you need to stop comparing yourselves to Reagan & Trump. That is a true insult to the two men. Hood has been lying to the voters for years. Time for him to go so he can take his naps on his own time instead of own taxpayers time.
