Or call Super Patriot. He'll know what to do!

Summed up, Polish politics has gotten a lot more fragmented. The farthest right party, actually a coalition of smaller parties but functioning as a single party, Confederation, made gains but is still far behind the major parties of the right, Law and Justice on the populist side and Civic Platform on the traditional side. Only once since the fall of communism has a single party been able to achieve a majority in Poland by itself, and that was Law and Justice. Poland is back to a more fragmented situation but with a whole lot more seats in parliament for parties of the right than parties of the left. The result also means than one of the two major parties of the right will lead the new government, and it is Law and Justice with the better path to a stable coalition.

THey all need primary opponents. Throw the bums out!

Murphy is less impressive all the time. He voted for that pathetic McCarthy sellout to Biden on the debt ceiling. Walter Jones would have never done that to us. Murphy has also joined in the far left's cancel culture against southern heritage. I hope he has a substantial primary opponent this time.

Sometimes politicians can twist themselves up into something stupid. Yes, this even happens for Republicans as well.

Summed up. The far right party lost.

The Woke insanity that gave US: Trump Derangement Syndrome; the Summer of George; Cashless Bail; America's Most Flawed Election (2020); Wide Open Southern Border policy; the second Great Migration (south); a failed or failing Education Industry; America's First Idiot President; Leftist Propagandist Media on Steroids; "White Supremacy as an Existential Threat;" the January Sixth Show Trial and Fake Congressional Investigation; Drag Shows for Children; Genital Mutilation on Demand for Children, and so much more inane Leftist stupidity, is becoming an evil thing of the past around the World; witness Sweden and many other European Countries swinging toward sane policies.

Will America's First Drag-Show-at-the-White-House President get this message of "Hope and Change" through his stupid-babbling-unto-inestimable-lying /corrupt head?

Carolyn Garris, as usual, is taking small parts of the truth and fitting it to help her bad behavior. At the end of the day we need hard copes for back up at the court house. There is room for at least 8 more years of hard copies at the rate we are making books now.

All those other back up methods require electricity to operate and are not generally available to the public on demand. The commissioners were never given proper notice of what was going on.

Not having proper back up for vital records is one of the ways government is moved further from the people. Moving government further form the people is a Democrat tactic

All of these despicable quack doctors who are involved in genital multilation of children, either with surgery or with drugs, need to be sued and put out of business. It needs to be where medical malpractice insurers will not touch them with a ten foot pole.

Let's get the record straight. The previous register posted notices that real estate books would no longer be printed. You know this. All of our records are backed up on microfilm and our virtual server. All documents whether presented electronically or over the counter go through the same rigorous process for accuracy and recording. There is no room in the vault to continue to print books. Right now, all of our map cabinets and map index books are in the basement. They need to be upstairs. I never received a phone call or request to attend the commissioners' meeting.
You were in my department the day of the commissioners meeting and did not mention it. I personally asked you if I could help you with anything and you said "no". As you also know, my husband had a heart attack and I was right where I needed to be. You took the opportunity to attack me while I was not present to respond. If you need any further information, please let me know.

The real reason that County Commissioner Hood Richardson votes against the budget every year is because taxes in Beaufort County are about 18% higher, in aggregate, than taxes would be if we had a real Republican majority in Beaufort County's government. Considering that fact: Why would Commissioner Richardson ever vote for a budget if his positions on budgeting, policy and oversight is never considered by the Nominal "Republicans," and their Democratic Socialist colleagues in the Center-Left Coalition.

The real reason that Commissioner Richardson is ever concerned about filming of the meetings is due to transparency. Hood Richardson, myself, Stan Deatherage, and a cadre of other core Republicans in Beaufort County (frequent contributor Steve Rader also participated) were adamant in the pursuit of perfect transparency in Beaufort County's government, when transparency was hit or miss, mostly miss. In 1996, we all pulled money out of our pockets to film meetings to provide the public better access to our public meetings. Eventually the quality was outstanding.

The Democrats despised this effort for transparency, ergo, we continued to pay. Without Hood Richardson, there would be less of a chance that these meetings would be filmed today.

A case in point was when Democrat-turned-"Republican"-turned-RINO Frankie Waters was elected in 2014 by deceiving a great many people, he began working to end that core Republican inspired act of complete transparency by making the meetings so poor in quality that people would stop watching the meetings altogether, and a great majority did stop watching. For that effort, RINO Frankie was imminently successful in achieving what the Democratic Socialists could not.

Another interesting, and very real fact, which is never mentioned, is that none of the members of the current Beaufort County GOP were involved in that initiative to film the Beaufort County Commissioners for this altruistic purpose of perfect transparency. It is also true that RINO Frankie continues to hide out in their midst as a core member of the Beaufort County GOP.
