I am told that our school board has it on their agenda tomorrow to define "discrimination based on sex" as including "gender identity" and "Sexual orientation". Isn't that what Biden tried unsuccessfully to do and Trump put a stop to it? Why is our school board even considering this?

A blank check to continue funding all federal programs with local taxpayer money is fiscally irresponsible and downright insane. Where was the accounting of which programs are funded, at what cost, and the justification for local taxpayers to be on the hook for them? There may be some expenditures where this is justified, but this should be looked at carefully on a case by case basis.

What we have on our county commission are four spendthrifts, two admitted Democrats, and two Democrats-in-Drag who masquerade as "Republicans", namely "Wrong Way" Walker and "Wrpng Way" Waters.

When I think of politicians like Sadler and his city council court jesters, the term "robber baron" comes to mind, rather than "king".

The No Kings movement can be appealing to a wide range of ppl, because it doesnt just apply to the Presidency, but also right here in WashingtonNC, Beaufort and the State, where we too have an
UN-Representative Republic. Even the candidates dont think they are elected to represent us, because if they did, then they would respond to phone calls and emails. When even candidates dont bother to "represent" you, then you know where/who the Kings are.

Both Walker of the Commission and Sadler of the Council both BLAMED the public for high taxes because none of the public showed up to protest an increase. These two are conveniently blind to the fact that we KNOW that the KINGS have quit listening to what we want, a long time ago.

Will the new bunch be any better? Maybe for a few days, until they let the lazy side of their brains take control. Then they become like Kings.

Stan: Agree. The light pierces the darkness. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Directly pertaining to the article: What fellowship can light have with darkness?

Christianity is indeed an impediment to the creativity of Satan.

Humans indeed have human ways, and many of them are of the flesh. Christianity, for me, allows my person to be of this world, understand this world, the ability within character to know the wisdom to work to achieve loftier goals in all things creative, all things wise, and interaction on a personal level, whenever possible.

The antithesis of these aspirations of mine is the indoctrination in that which is not true, real; the divisive nature of Satan to separate the true spirit of goodness from the natural flesh is his prime objective.

Far too many within humankind fall prey to these base concepts locked within Satan's power to paint such perverse pictures of kis far poorer purpose.

The Marxist Progressives of the last century immediately saw Christianity in the United States as a problem, so they infiltrated it from within. Here in the 21st Century is the result.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) is an idiot; he has always been an idiot, which brings to mind; just how stupid does a voting public have to be to elect someone this low on the intelligence pole.

I have no idea how Mr. Trump will negotiate this aspect of the Democratic Socialist Shutdown of the Federal Government 2025; however, if he can succeed, this could strip the Non Patriot Left of some of their control over Left leaning government workers, which are far too many in force in the first place, thereby sucking too fervently off the proverbial government teat, which is a tremendous drain of the public's personal resources here within our Capitalist Society.

I have known Bobby Hanig for years. He has been a great state representative and state senator and will be a great congressman.
