Apartheid never has a good outcome. And yes Hamas has plenty to apologize for.

There goes Bob, and his wacky definition of "truth" again! The two statutes cited very definitely do exist. What is up for question is thier interpretation, and apparently the SCOTUS has not pronounced on that as yet. Common sense says that "early voting" as it is practiced today under state "no excuse" absentee voting statutes makes a total mockery of those two federal statutes, but there is an open question as to whether the SCOTUS whould have the 'nads to strike those state laws down, at least as to federal elections. Unfortunately, American courts have shown much more reluctance to tackle election shananigans than their counterparts in Europe.

Country Girl. I do appreciate your sentiment, and I too wish we would return to one day voting and real absentee balloting.

No excuse voting has not been tested in the supreme court that I know of, and may wind up there because of the articles that you speak of in conflict with the Constitution giving states' general assemblies authority over conducting elections.

Same day voting /real absentee balloting would cut down on the cheating that the Democratic Socialists have become so infamous for so many counties, but not Beaufort County.

I would do that Stan. However, the board members are terrible at responding to concerns. In a perfect world, the schoolboard should make every opportunity available to hear from the parents. Unfortunately, BC School board is far from perfect and makes parents jump through hurdles to be able to speak on issues. With the untelevised meetings a poor write-ups of their minutes, its like they don't want you involved.

SR, I'm the one suggesting you get medical advice from a doctor. If that is to woke for you, then you are walking talking proof that evolution is real.

You have such tunnel vision, Bob. If it is not part of the extreme left's political narrative, you reject it. The big takeaway from Covid is that the lockdown hurt us at least as much as the virus, and the lockdown was all politics. Another takeaway from studies since most of the Covid virus has passed us, is that the mRNA vaccines did not do much good and did more harm than expected. Moderna admits that their jab is "gene therapy" rather than a vaccine, but they did not publicize that to those getting the jab. It is up to each of us to get informed and weigh the risk versus the benefits. When I did, I drove an extra 50 miles each way to get the J&J vaccine, which my research told me was safer than the two mRNA jabs.

We should applaud the work of Rep. Kidwell in our state to get the law changed so a governor like Cooper can no longer singlehandedly impose a lockdown on our state. Other states have also done the same.

The Covid response is a good example of Eisenhower's warning that we should not have scientists making government policy. That was in his farewell speech immediately after his more famous comments about the "military-industrial complex".

The Fool just needs to go away ... permanently, withdrawing take his Crackhead Son, his Fake Doctor Wife with him; along with the remnants of the despicable and infamous Biden Crime Family.

Corrupt and Stupid is a bad look for any Constitutional Republic.

Big Bob: So, if you wish to declare those that vote for corrupt idiots to be likewise inclined, I will not disabuse your of the right to do so here.

I, on the other hand, hold out hope for the electorate-at-large's transformation into a more thoughtful class of citizen.

Big Bob: I declared Biden and his henchmen corrupt idiots, and you express that the voters are responsible.

Well Big Bob, you are about half right on that. The other half are my people just like me, and I would wager that this half most like me - "MAGA Extremists all" - have grown a bit in number.

Ever the optimist I am in regarding my fellow folk for I have long know that through knowledge and time good people may transform into better citizens. This is the better side of me, and I hope to thank these good People, in advance, for the anticipated success the 2024 election for helping me reach my best self.

Four of those states also have key Senate races for Democrat held seats. This could help propell a GOP takeover of the Senate.
