There is a huge difference between Trump and Hillary on documents.

The Presidential Records Act and court case interpreting it give presidents a right to retain documents. It does NOT give that right to a Secreatry of State or a vice president or US Senator, either. There have been disputed in the past with former preisdents and the National Archives which have been settled by negotiation. President Trump was in the middle of such a negotiation when the politicized FBI swooped in with a politicized raid.

Trump's recrds were never subpoenaed. Hillary's were. Trump did not destroy any records. Hillary destroyed many thousands of them to circumvent the subpoenas.

Hillary should have been prosecuted and the failure of the politicized FBI and DOJ to do so was election interference. Trump should NOT have been prosecuted and the act of doing so by the Biden DOJ is an act of election interference.

Charles: You are so right. This is the real "China Mitch" that we have come to know.

Going forward, I would advise Republicans never voting for another nominee, be in for a cabinet or the bench, if there is any inkling that the Democratic Socialist candidate that is elected president is a Socialist, and or a non patriot, or both like Obama or Ly'n' Joe Biden.

Not as consequentially corrupt as Merrick Garland was Eric Holder; however, it was Eric Holder who oversaw the initial corruption of the FBI and the DOJ at the lower levels.

Most Confederate soldiers were like my great grandfather and my great great grandfather. They did not own slaves and slavery had nothing to do with why they enlisted to defend their country from foreign invasion. Less than ten percent of white southerners owned slaves in 1861.

It was only later in the war that the north decided to try to make slavery their excuse for invading the south. In March 1861, the US Congress, totally controlled by the north as the first seven southern states had already seceded and withdrawn, adopted by the required super majority the Corwin Amendment to the US Constitution, which would have enshrined slavery in the Constitution and made it impossible to abolish without a furhter amendment to the Constitution, and promulgated it to the states for ratification. Lincoln specifically endorsed the Corwin Amendment in his first Inaugural Address. Even after the north decided to say the war was supposedly about slavery, they admitted yet another slave state, West Virginia, to the union to join the four other slave states that adhered to the northern governnment.

Tearing down historic monuments is what Chairman Mao Tse-Tung did in his "cultural revolution" in Communist China. Those who advocate the same thing in the US or Europe can legitimately be called Maoists. That includes you, Bob. It certainly includes BLM.

I will not disparage fellow county commissioner Randy Walker on his vote because Randy Walker has said often that he does not see the need to consider issues that 'do not involve the direct concern of Beaufort County's government.'

While I disagree with Randy Walker's decision to see our role of self-governing from such a limited view, I do understand that as a Beaufort County Commissioner, and I have served with dozens over the decades, not everyone who has ever served in this capacity will ever master that innate essential knowledge that all levels of government (county, state and federal) are interconnected into a complex mosaic whose sum of capabilities greatly effect our every instance of efforts in today's highly politicized American Society.

Congressman Murphy, on the other hand, has that position within the power structure of a current slim Republican majority to effect change, and to retain what is real and necessary, and that is the exact reason why these resolutions are written by those of us that can understand that complexity of governing, and then work diligently for real change so that this Constitutional Republic can have a real fighting chance to survive in these turbulent times.

Congressman Murphy, in this instance, has let us down because the real history of who we are richly matters to me and my constituents, and, furthermore, it should to all of us who are represented by the governing class.

Supporting African Americans makes me neither a Marxist or a troll. Your posts on the subject are tone deaf to those whose American's whose experience is different from yours and mine.

You and I are not bad people because our ancestors did some bad things, however, it is wrong to pretend it never happened. I think most people know that. Time to move forward.

So Randy Walker gets a thumbs up from this site's resident Marxist troll, Bolshevik Bob. But Bobbie in spouting a modern far left narrative is ignoring his hero Karl Marx, who wrote of the War Between the States while it was still being fought that "the war is not about slavery, it is a war of economic subjugation by the north against the south." For those of us non-Marxists, British novelist Charles Dickens, one of the UK's contemporary anti-slavery leaders wrote essentially the same thing.

It was a shocker that Randy Walker goes along with cancel culture against the South. He is from a long time Southern family, and even transplanted yankee John Rebholz voted in favor of saving our heritage. Randy may learn that cancel culture can work two ways and voters who care about our Southern heritage may just decide to cancel him in his next election. Why did he make such a stupid vote? Was he pandering to BLM? Not many of them vote in Beaufort County elections, and probably none at all in GOP primaries.

I cannot remember a presidential general election debate where the GOP nominee was not having to debate the biased liberal moderators as well as the Democrat nominee. I read that the RNC is not going to deal with the badly biased establishemt swamp Presidential Debate Commission any more but instead negotiate directly with the Democrat Party to arrange debates. That is a step forward, but reining in the ezcess control by the moderators needs to be part of the equation. In last night's debate the bias of the moderators showed repeatedly.

Their trying to rope the candidates into agreeing to the globalist climate orthodoxy with a show of hands was repulsive. It was good to see multiple candidates rebuke them in detail on that.

You must be smoking something other than a tobacco producet, LIttle Bobbie. Are you trying to say that someone is, or is not, "out to get" Hunter Biden?

you know, back in 2016, I was shocked at how the dumpster chanted 'lock er up' towards HC. How he encouraged others to do the same. I knew right then and there Trump was a sick-o. Time has proven me right. Enjoy the perp walk fellas.

Here is another stinker. Fanni Willis, the anti-Trump GA persecutor, is the daughter of a leader of the Marxist terrorist group the Black Panthers. Mark Levin pointed that out on his show last night. The MSM is ignoring it as is usual with their propaganda / "news"
