Commented on The lunacy of voting for cross-town busing--Revised and updated

I believe the children deserve every opportunity. The teachers and principles are working hard to bring up the scores. Have you ever gone to visit the schools?

Yes, and it will be incontrovertible if presented accurately.

The 4 schools have been built, the testing trends are not measurably better, and may be in a downward trend if compared on a "apples to apples" basis.

Spending as much money as could be possible on projects poorly considered is NOT going to improve learning in Beaufort County, or North Carolina as a whole of school governing.

Stan, Do you have any local data that proves new schools wouldn’t be an incentive to learn?

As long as technology can be brought into the classroom, I do not see how a "new" school is necessarily an improvement. There is a school still in use just down the street from my favorite hotel in Vienna that dates from the reign of Emporer Franz Josef I, prior to World War I. In Dubrovnik, Croatia, I have seen a school still in use that dated back from before the Napoleonic Wars. I strongly suspect that the teaching in those buildings was likely superior to most American public schools.

I, myself, have attended classes at the university level in buildings built in the early 20th century, and that did not hurt the quality of the education I received.

Well I’m sure the little ones won’t be dropped off without help finding their way. I personally went to a school from first through eighth grade. It was nice having an older sibling nearby and teachers that knew not only the children but their families. This is not a liberal view but my opinion.

Large schools to warehouse children is a leftwing concept in education. Conservatives have always pushed for neighborhood schools, which are less intimidating to young children and make it easier for parents to participate.

In Beaufort County, we have a leftwing superintendant who is resume building for his next advancement to a bigger system, and that is the only reason we have this monster school project. It is not good for either education or the taxpayer, but it looks good on his resume, and he has too many little puppets on the school board who give him everything he wants.

Commented on Covid vax database leaked by whistleblower shows alarming vax death rate

Denial is not a river in Egypt, Little Bobbie.

One item above is a leaked government database, that even the government does not deny is accurate, but Little Bobbie who knows nothing except that it goes against his pathetic little leftwing narrative tries to claim it is not true.

The other item is a medical study by medical researchers with advanced medical degrees, something Little Bobbie lacks. Again the fool tries to say that is not true, shooting from the hip with no actual knowledge of the subject or the study. It goes against his political beliefs so he refuses to accept it.

You are pathetic, Little Bobbie.

Commented on Oklahoma bans DEI in all state institutions

Bigot Bob uses Common Core math. Even using a leftwing source like Wikipedia, Jim Crow started around the turn of the century and ended in the early-mid 1960s. That is a little over a half century, NOT 100+ years as Bobbie contends. All of those impacted during their working lives are now well past retirement age. It has now been almost the same amount of time since it ended as while it existed. How long does Bigot Bob want the white man to be the whipping boy for the "woke" far left?

I think the religion you participate in requires repentance for wrongs. I know the one I take part in would say that. Even if it didn’t, sometimes you should do the right thing just because.

Firebrand: You said, "Having new schools gives children incentive to learn."

We have built many schools (4) in Beaufort County over the last 25 years, and renovated all others, which begs me to ask: Do you have any local data to support your bold statement of this essential assessment of need?

May I remind you it is the 21 st century. Why are we getting comments about today’s schools from 80 year olds. Having new schools gives children incentive to learn. Also when was the last time any of you went to visit the schools or volunteered?

100 plus years of Jim Crow did a lot of damage. How do we fix it? Can we just walk away and say "my Bad' and pretend it never happened? Is that the right thing to do?

And yet 2 election workers in Georgia had their lives destroyed by RG with the same amount of evidence I have regarding the pee pee tape. Isn't it fun to make stuff up with no evidence and trash people? 148 million indeed.

Commented on EU parliament member says WHO should be designated terrorist organization

The World Health Organization is a TOTALITARIAN organization, not terrorist. That happened when the communist Chinese dictatorship gained control of it with their placeman Tedros, a government functionary from a Third World dictatorship and the first non-physician to head the WHO. Under previous expert medical leadership, WHO had a pandemcic response plan that was ready to go and it relied on herd immunity. Tedros junked that and replaced it with China's totalitarian approach of lockdowns and mandates. The US needs to get out of WHO and many UN organizations that are run by tin horn Third World dictatorship flunkies. Tedros is nothing but a Beijing functionary.

Commented on Newsguard demands that news organizations adhere to gov't narrative

If we want to save democracy in our Constitutional republic, it is essential that we elect Trump, deSantis, or Ramaswammy. Biden and Haley are enemies of free speech, and thus enemies of democratic rights.

Commented on Now Democrats making gay porn in US Capitol buildings

The pee tape that actually exists is one from a failed Democrat legislative candidate in Williamsburg, Virginia this year who was jogging in a public park and instead of using the public restrooms provided, made a tape of herself peeing out in the open, saying on the tape "yeah, I'm peeing, avoid yellow snow". She posted that on the internet herself.

The Trump "pee tape" was made up in a Hillary-financed hit piece that was full of lots of lies. Only someone totally out of the loop or someone who is a totaly ideological or partisan fanatic would still beat that dead horse.
