Commented on UN launches censorship project on climate info at Brazil UN climate conference

President Trump did a good day's work in getting us OUT of this UN climate charade mousetrap. No United States federal government officials were sent to this leftie talkathon, but I am sure the Peoples Republic of California probably sent a few.

It is telling that Red China funds the climate CO2 cult groups in the US and Europe, but for their own energy, they are building hundreds of new coal power plants, then they export to us solar panels and wind turbine components, laughing all the way to the bank. Democrats are such fools to play along or perhaps they are on the take.

Speaking of power and character:
If you want to judge a man’s character, give him power.
~Robert G. Ingersoll

Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. ~ Robert G. Ingersoll

But of course there are charming psychotic personalities who know how to hide the fact that they slither on their belly. Think Govt people with influence over small towns.

Commented on City of Washington Municipal Election Postmortem

The City of Washington elections were dictated by turnout, which was low, not historically, but low from what I am used to.

When I run for office, I talk specifically about issues that drive people to vote for either their personal, and, or patriotic concerns; hopefully for both.

The key for higher turnout is education: First for the politicians in their speech; but, moreover, for the voting public in their better perception of that good and patriotic speech spoken and professed.

The hostile rivalries among local Republicans and conservatives are harming our county. With just a little cooperation, Republicans/Conservatives could have taken one and perhaps two more Washington City Council seats in this election. Furthermore, that rogue leadership element of the local Republican Party should be sued for obvious slander against Adam O'Neal.

These rogue Republicans are not only bypassing their own legitimate executive committee they are also attacking local citizens for not following their dictates. They are drunk with power and need to be restrained. Some people do not have the character to handle power.

If Stacey DAvis' seat doesnt come up again until 2028, I think she should run for County Commissioner.

Good riddance to Democrat-in-Drag Frankie Waters. He has been a fifth columnist within the GOP since his opportunistic change of party.

Stacey Davis' seat does not come up again until 2028, but I expect the usual suspects to go after her then. I hear that liberal Democrat Mac Hodges is eyeing a comeback attempt, but he may pull a Frankie Waters and do an opportunist "conversion". Mac Hodges sat there for years as nothing but a rubberstamp for the superintendent, totally useless.

Frankie Waters announced today he's giving up his seat due to health reasons. There's a new open seat for 2026.

I expect School Bd to see several challenges to Davis, both in the party and/or other party unless party affiliations take place.

VZ: Since 2020, there have been several interesting conversations among "Clint Eastwood" conservative-minded thinkers pertaining to the core problems of the current GOP and how it was being hijacked.

One issue that many "modern conservatives" shy away from discussing is the local implementation of globalist politics and how it effects the surrounding communities. Handlers get real nervous when regional parties start talking about related Geopolitical matters.

Remember....US politicians can most definitely get donations from the WEF. A turd rolls downhill.

Beaufort County has its own local "deep state" of pompous bureaucrats who treat elected officials as their underlings, and thus we have our own local swamp that needs to be drained. Replacing the city manager should be the first step now that we have a new city council. His replacement should be someone who understands that he is an employee, not the boss.

Commented on new poll: Brown and Whatley perform about the same against Cooper

Considering that Whatley has a good bit higher name recognition at this point, those poll numbers are much more impressive for Brown than for Whatley.

Here in Beaufort County, we have lots of questions about most of the things that are done. If this cadre of local GOP masterminds really care about Republican goals, then why are they doing the things that they do? There are plenty of examples.

The best examples lately are the School Board. Ms. Davis recently defeated a 40-year incumbent Democrat. The GOP masterminds are already demanding she resign and are plotting to defeat her in a future primary if she doesn't. Things were OK with them with a Democrat there for decades but not now?

Mr. Hickman, a couple of years ago defeated a 30-year incumbent Democrat in a district that no Republican ever ran in. The Beaufort County intelligentsia can't have that, so they find a primary opponent. Remember it was not a priority at all when a Democrat was there for decades.

Over the years some of the backstabbing local GOP people have been given a free pass, saying it is just some kind of personality conflicts. Recent events have proven it is a lot deeper and more diabolical than that.

Befuddled, the staff has way too much power in local government, be it the city council, the county commission, or the school board. A big part of the problem is the lazy and ineffective elected officials who let them do it. Hopefully we now have a city council that will crack the whip, or even better get a new city manager. On the county commission, we have four puppets of the county manager letting him do as he pleases. The situation is the same with the school board majority and the imperial superintendent.

With the legislature, the problem is a bit different. It is too much reliance on special interest lobbyists and, even worse, being a puppet to legislative leadership. Kidwell does not have either of those problems, and our local state senator is impressing me more and more on that score as well.

In Congress, it is the same problem with the establishment leadership and the special interest lobbyists. Greg Murphy promised to join the conservative Freedom Caucus when he got to DC and stand up to the leadership but instead almost immediately started brown nosing the leadership. I am happy we are shifting to the 1st district, where the likely new Congressman will be State Senator Bobby Hanig who has never been a yes-man to Phil Berger but stood his ground for his constituents and for principle. He will make an excellent congressman. Hanig's latest success for his constituents was being the key figure in blowing up Phil Berger's attempt to put our commercial fishermen out of business.

Kidwell is not rock solid at all. He is swishy.
Here today and gone tomorrow.
BUtting into our local affairs one day by calling for resignations, and the next day he is telling constituents that he cant help with
local govt issues.
This means he is acting like a shadow govt, perhaps steering the
cabal. Causing a divide the way Dems do. We need a legislator who doesnt play games w WeThePpl.

Lazy elected officials make them puppets. This is my warning to the newly elected City Council, who if they are not on their toes will surrender their power to "THE STAFF." Let me warn you of this, the City Manager will gladly do your job for u because that means he has ALL the power. The Citizens even learn to call him first because, they know He Runs the Show. Sadly!

CT, be like Charlie Kirk and try to bridge the gap.
You know there are people that dont read NOW, because they believe it is "fake news." If they are elected Representatives, then they are really missing out on what is reality here locally. Hence they are in their own bubble. Communication is always key.

Commented on EU: populist and traditional right unite to cut climate regulations on business

IT is good to see conservatives uniting against the climate hoax in Europe. We have too many establishment Republicans like Thom Tillis, Phil Berger, Michael Whatley, and Tim Moore who align too often with the green left.

IT is an issue of supply and demand. Letting in a flood of illegal aliens means they have to have somewhere to live. The housing supply is the same, but there is more demand, so rents go up. That has also happened with hotels in places like New York City where illegal aliens have been placed in hotels, and the room rates have soared in other hotels as a result. Europe has seen the same dynamics on housing costs from the swarms of illegal aliens.

Also, I would hardly call a candidate who aligns with the Forest woman a "conservative". The Forest woman is another of those yankee carpetbaggers.

Part 2 (more restrained and professional):

The underlying problem that permeates through the turd tossing, that is sometimes very hard to NOT engage in, is the witch-hunt against "native" conservatives who tell it like it is regardless of who is involved. If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

All politics are local; the same clownshow that's happening HERE against native common sense conservatives who want to reign in the outside stupidity and cut out the middle man is happening EVERYWHERE there's people of a community with common sense.

Jesus on a bicycle, folks; what the hell does "illegal immigration" have to do with the housing market? This is the distractionary stupidity that takes people away from the meat and potatoes of any issue....divide, conquer and distract.

While I'm on the issue of "stupid", I wonder what up and coming "conservatives" like Mr. Garrison think about 50 year mortgages and the insanely stupid comment Vance made the other day?

Commented on Federal audit: California illegally issued 17,000 truck driver licenses to illegals

California should be liable for any damages caused to others by these illegal aliens they have illegal given CDL's, but a state can only be sued by another state or the federal government on many things. Florida, at least, is suing California for the wreck caused by that Indian illegal alien with a California CDL.
