Stan, I love how you often remind people that the Babylon Bee is satire. I wonder how many internalize each piece while doing their own "research" I bet it's a lot. I bet it gets quoted as gospel more times than you would think. Bhahahaha

A country can crack down on asylum abuse by illegal aliens simply by strict enforcement of the treaties. One is do an immediate determination of asylum as Hungary does in an immediate hearing and then deny it, expelling the migrant immediately afterward. Another is to focus on the fact that if a migrant is coming from a country where he is already safe, he is nont entitled to asylum and can be immediately turned back. Since most of them lie to make up reasons to claim asylum, using a polygraph while they are making the claims could immediately expose their lies and justify denial of entry.

Stan: I just read your dissertation about losing the local school districts website business, and how your county's taxpayers on the hook for a bunch more money to let that local business "far, far away" and I think I got your problem figured out, even though it is too late to do anything about it now.

Now Stan, you know that I have known you a very long time, and I do respect your integrity as someone that knows you, and someone that has read most of what you write here, but my good friend, you have to understand that losing that business is your own fault, and it you want someone to blame go haul your ass to mirror and take a good long look at your conservative Republican self.

Stan, you are a smart guy, and you should know by now that these county schools are mostly run by Democratic, which sounds like it is the case in your Beaufort County, and no good Democratic is going to do business with you when they can place that business with some Democratic business, even if it is "far, far away," and for significantly more money. So, here is the solution even if it is a bit too late for the learning.

Why don't you drop all that integrity stuff that you just can't seem to quit, and join up with the Democratics? There you go, problem solved. You can then promise the moon, deliver so much less, and walk away far richer than you probably are now.

Or, be like that "Fake Frankie" fellow that I read about when that Hood fellow writes those articles that I also enjoy reading; then you get to stay a Republican, but vote like a Democratic; keep the local business, and who knows maybe these Democratic school fellows might even pay you the additional $"16,900.00" too much. Heck, its only the people's money, and when have Democratics ever cared about that inconvenient reality?

Of course, here in Wilkes County, Georgia, there is big change a happening, where Republicans are getting most of the vote now, and they are voting only for those real kind of Republicans like yourself, so that might not last too long if Beaufort County starts changing over to that real side of living as free folk.

I got another idea Stan, maybe you should move here. It is mighty pleasant in these north Georgia hills. Heck, I might even enjoy your company ... that is if you promise not to ever take my advice about that recent nonsense about you turning Democratic.

We could use another real Republican down here. You could be one of our county commissioners, plus most folks like doing business with you real types down here.

If you want to build your "platforms" down here too, you should not have any trouble doing business. On that, my friend, your little company is in a league of its own.

The gender transition nazis are making some interesting enemies, including the feminists and many homosexuals. Yet they arrogantly demand their way be accepted all through society. It is time for everyone to tell these pompous loons to get stuffed.

Parents have an essential role in education, and the public school establishment needs to remember that. A recent poll by the Civitas Institute found that 71% of North Carolina parents are concerned about political indoctrination of their children in the public schools. Radical curricula, like those recently promoted by the NC Board of Education, are the focus of that concern. Schools should involve parents in adoption of curricula so that they are not radical. It is county school boards in North Carolina that have power over what is taught in their schools and they need to exercise it.

North Carolina does NOT need a Thom Tillis ally as its state GOP Chairman. I like that this challenger Kane wants to hold politicians feet to the fire on following the platform. That will be a refreshing change.

Parents should be involved with their child’s education and school. However, that does not mean every crackpot idea is a good one. Schools have standards. They can’t and shouldn’t cater to the individual.

George Soros is just pure evil. He bankrolls a lot of the groups promoting open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. Indeed one of the laws of Hungary, where Soros was born, that cracked down on illegal aliens was called the "anti-Soros law" when it went through parliament. That law allows criminal charges to be brought against people, like those in Soros organizations, inside Hungary that aid and abet illegal aliens trying to enter the country.

Some statistics in other countries including Taiwan and Australia suggest more people have died from the vaccine than from Covid itself. The mRNA shots are particularly bad, and every booster just adds to your risk.

Buzz Cayton is correct, it is all about management.

Is management objective or does management have a political agenda? Management is not exclusive to the Superintendent. it includes the non teaching staff and the entire school board.

The chairperson will recognize the speaker and allow a maximum of three minutes for comments. At the end of the allocated time, the speaker must stop speaking immediately. Yielding time to another speaker will not be permitted. A total of 12 minutes will be allocated for comments from the public on each item unless the board votes to expand this allocation.
