What you did, Bigot Bob, was expose your own dishonesty and extremism. The US Supreme Court banned separate but equal in the 1950s and schools could no longer be assinged based on race. One of the things many school systems did in response was to adopt a freedom of choice for parents, as the county I lived in did, that allowed parents to choose any school in the county for their children as long as they provided transportation. High school attendance districts were large enought that all of them included some black students, and I think probably all junior high school districts did, but probably not all of the much smaller elementary school districts. No one was assigned to a school based on race.

The radical case you mention imposed arbitrary quotas on all schools, destroying the concept of meighborhood schools and required the hated massive forced bussing. Whites and blacks alike despised the long bus rides that radical court, which you clearly support, imposed.

If we haven't already learned it on these boards you are a radical far left extremist. You hate white people and you make exsues for the racist war cfimes of the Hamas terrorists against Jewish Israeli civilians.

At what point does the Non Patriot Left give up the lying, the cheating and the hate for all that is good and decent. This is what corruption looks like at its core, and with NO non corrupt journalistic entities that Leftists will listen to, I know there will be no real changes until real Americans take a stand to return to honesty, decency and a will to despise all that is utterly corrupt.

Thank you for this important information. People need to know where certain people stand on important matters like this. Just because they have an "R" next to their name at the polls doesn't mean their one of the good guys. If I don't know what their about anymore, it stays blank. I quit falling for "vote for me cause I'm Republican crap.

This is a travesty. Bowman was convicted criminally, and the House won't even investigate his ethics, just slap him on the wrist with a censure. This is a double standard with George Santos, who was the first member of Congress expelled before their case even went to trial. What Santos did cannot be condoned, but the House jumped the gun on him before his case went to trial. Also, Joe Biden has done everything that Santos did and gets away with it, another double standard. Why weren't Republicans loudly pointing that out?

I imagine with Bowman the Dmeocrats circled the wagons to protect him, and the Republicans did not with Santos. All they had to do was stand firm and say "wait untill their is a conviction in court, like has always been done in the past, even for people who did worse things than Santos."

Obviously, this news is a little old because today, Bowman was Censured by the House.

Like many political and public policy sites, this one allows comments from people using their own names or using aliases. The alias "Big Bob" has been caught twice posting under phony email accounts, which the publisher has clearly said is NOT allowed. He goes out of his way to protect his identity, but in the comment directly below is demanding information that could out the identity of a fellow poster who uses an alias. How many people now living in Beaufort County attended a specific grade school in another county in 1964? Probably only one. If hypocrite Bob wants to out someone else's identity, perhaps he should start by revealing his own. This site, like most on the internet does not require that, but if "Big Bob" is demanding someone else's identifying information, the least he could do first is provide his own.

Another habit of "Big Bob" is posting a generic response "none of this is true" without providing any reference to establish any other version of facts. Giving that generic response is ludicrous. If he has a source that disputes facts someone else posts, he should give the source he is relying on. Without doing that, he gives the appearance that he has no source.

Oh, it's ALL true, Little Bobbie. Denial is not a river in Egypt. I can only post one link in this response under the site rules, so the one I will give you is on Nazis supporting Biden for 2024: redstate.com

Of course, your own posts on this site show you are an apologist for the Hamas terrorist attack on Israeli civilians, using the standard spologist talking point of the far left.

You can look up the Orwell quote yourself. It is a true quote from one of the leading voices the world has had against totalitarianism.

None of that is true.

Every country that sees a big influx of illegal alien migrants / "asylum seekers" sees a big rise in sex crimes. It has been what has made once safe Sweden and Germany rivals as the rape capital of Europe. It is one of the reasons we need Donald Trump back (deSantis second choice) in the presidency to put a stop to the destructive open border policies of the traitor Biden, but NEVER NEVER NEVER Nikki Haley.

The continual attack from Commissioner Richardson has nothing to do with the Register of Deeds office. It is a personal vendetta that continues to play out during the commissioners' meetings. The name-calling and personal attacks are unwarranted and unprofessional. It is my responsibility to safeguard and protect the records of the Beaufort County citizens. That is exactly what I am doing, according to law. You have been informed several times that I am in compliance. All documents are backed up locally, in the cloud, and on microfilm. Space will always be an issue. The Register of Deeds office returned over $45,000 of taxpayer money back into the general fund last fiscal year. We do not spend frivolously. I will continue to work diligently for the Beaufort County citizens and customers of this office. The staff and I will continue to provide the best service possible and offer convenient services to all citizens. Respectfully submitted, Carolyn L Garris, Register of Deeds

A few of us are alive and can remember the Sunday that Pear Harbor was attacked. I was sitting in my Dad’s chair in my pajamas listening to “Jack Armstrong the all American boy” when the announcement came over the radio. I was six years old, but I remember it today just like I remember the day Kennedy was shot. Soon there was an Observation Post built in our front yard to spot airplanes. This had a telephone and was one of the few in about a ten-mile radius. Many of the men who left to fight gave that number as their home number. As a result, we would get death messages about our neighbors, and my mother would go and deliver them and sometimes set up with the family for the rest of the night. We were at war, and we were together.
