For all that are not fully aware of who Stan Deatherage is: I shall explain myself simply as the publisher of Eastern North Carolina NOW.

It has come to my attention that School Board Member Donald Shreve has a comment attributed to him about his position on a new initiative that will be his responsibility to take a position on. I am not aware of that issue. In fact right now, I am not aware of too much because I have been away from my computer for about an hour and a half ... oddly, enough time for me to be out of the loop of an interesting development here on my publication.

The development is not any political/governmental position ascribed to Donald Shreve; the development is that some nefarious bastard Infiltrated our comment section posing as Donald Shreve.

It took me about 10 minutes to figure this out with School Board member Charles Hickman on the telephone, to whom I explained my process in figuring that Donald Shreve /Eastern North Carolina NOW was Infiltrated by a Political Imposter (Could this be a breaking of a federal code?).

Am I certain that it did occur? Absolutely, and here is how they did it.

Someone using IP location of 75.170.28.4, posing as DonaldShreve, using an email of Donaldshreve0@gmail.com posed as Donald Shreve making a comment on this post at 6:46 pm.

The comment was approved by me thinking that it was legitimate, as Donald Shreve is an upstanding member of Eastern North Carolina NOW, where he writes posts on education issues, and comments from time to time.

Where I screwed up, after yet another long day, is that the real Donald Shreve would not need my approval for a comment due to his designation as "Trusted Commenter" allows for his commenting without a moderator; plus if I had looked closer, I would have noticed that the status of the FAKE DonaldShreve was that of a User, and Donald's status is that of a valued Writer.

My apologies not only to the members of Eastern North Carolina NOW, but especially to Donald Shreve for this injustice by someone using what is false to further their pathetic purpose.

Tomorrow, I will ask my lead tech guy to investigate the IP of 75.170.28.4 to see if we can discover the perpetrator of this falsehood.

Without objection, as publisher, I will remove the FAKE comment from this Fake DonaldShreve, and all other resulting comments replying to that comment.

Again, I are sorry for this event (this is the first time this has happened on this publication in all of our 14 years), but we will endeavor to discover who uses the offending IP - 75.170.28.4. Wish us luck, and actually ...

That would be a far bigger story than anything published here today, maybe for the entire week.

I just got off the phone with Donald Shreve and he knows nothing about this post. There seems to be an imposter about.

Some of the weapons systems sent have either been phased out or are in the process of being phased out. For example, we have recently sent Ukraine an earlier generation of Sea Sparrow anti-missile missiles, which have been replaced in our own service by a newer generation, but can be fired from Ukraine's Soviet designed S-300 anti-aircraft batteries. That is a win-win, giving Ukraine something it can use but is obsolete for us.

Any critical mumitions sent need to be replaced in our own arsenals ASAP.

Congress needs to shift money from the stupid "climate" spending to national defense.

While I appreciate Locke's attempts to make this Green New Deal disaster the least damaging to citizens that may be possible, they are wrong to call this fiasco "bi-partisan". It was RINO driven to pander to far left Governor Cooper. It is even more radical than the EU's Green Deal that is sending power prices into orbit. The full sordid story of how Speaker Moore and Senate President Berger betrayed the Republican base and the citizens of North Carolina to bander to self-seeking and ESG-driven special interests can be read here:

That's funny! But if they had used Yale instead, it would have also been true. Yale University was named for an early benefactor, Elihu Yale, who was not only a slave owner but also a slave trader. Further, as a British colonial official, Elihu Yale gat a law that prohibited export of slaves changed so that slaves could be exported. What a namesake of a liberal university! They want us to take down our southern monuments but they use the name of a slave trader themselves.

The Babylon Bee is, of course, satire, so I can see why they did not use a real example like Yale. The humor is there by using Harvard.

Looking at that website for this company, it is clear that they are on a political mission to politically indoctrinate our children with the grievance culture of the extreme left. This is what NC's first black lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson fought so hard against at the state level but ultimately lost to the leftwing appointees of Governor Cooper. It would be a travesty to adopt this garbage in Beaufort County. Florida rejected it and so should we.

Did Jim Crow go away bt itself?

I will agree the term 'WOKE' has taken on many meanings. Unfortunately it is often used to describe something perceived as hateful towards white people. I get it. It's upsetting but if we can't take an honest look at ourselves, how can we possibly expect to do better? Does anyone here think Jim Crow went away by itself? Does anyone honestly think Mr. Crow is dead and buried? Is Dr. King Woke? Look white people are no better or worse than anyone else. We all do bad things. It takes courage to learn from our mistakes. Remember, you are not a mistake, just because you made one.
