There is not enough control in the Beaufort County schools to stop radical teachers from using CRT, gender ideology, and related radical and obscene materials and concepts in the classroom. We have a superintendent who looks the other way and a rubber stamp school board. There was a boy invited to speak at Washington High School recently on "transitioning" to a girl and to encourage other students in this destructive path. Fortunately, we have three conservative running for the school board who will address such issues.

I'm glad you brought up not discussing politics in a religious setting. I think we all know that the Right Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., did not live by that dictum. Neither does "Reverend" Warnocke of Georgia. I believe it's safe to say that many churches don't live according to the "wall of separation" Jefferson wrote of in a private letter. He did not put it in the Declaration of Independence nor is it in the Constitution.

The Founding Fathers made no allowance for the founding of a Church of State. Neither the Anglicans of England nor the Covenanters of Jonathon Edwards would be the official religion of the new nation. They were shunning the wars Catholics and Protestants fought in Europe. We had a similar dispute here in the colony of North Carolina, only that was between Quakers and Anglicans. If we don't talk about political matters where our people assemble, then we surrender the field of battle. Speaking of politics in church does not violate the Constitution.

We should always remember that this could be your fate as well: To know what is real, and to be disabused of such by a formerly mostly just institution.

We need a sheriff who will defend our gun rights, and Scott Hammonds is the only one we can count on for that. Rogerson had a big sign for gun grabber Supreme Court candidate Lucy Inman right beside his tent at the Board of Elections in a truck owned by his main money man the first week of the campaign. Then he moved the sign for the gun grabber across from his tent but still with a Rogerson sign on the tailgate. At best, Rogerson is indifferent to gun rights. He would not be a Constitutional sheriff. He would be a typical Democrat sheriff. It has been Republican sheriffs around the country who have been standing up for gun rights, NOT Democrats.

One RINO who needs to be gone is Frankie Waters. Waters is a Democrat in Republican clothing and has been since he switched parties just before running for commissioner. Waters has been a puppet on a string for Jerry Langley for years and is now going further to stab the GOP in the back by helping Rogerson. Waters is a collaborator with the Democrats and needs to be run out of office this election. Langley and Rogerson are both liberals, as Waters fundamentally is himself.

Having worked at high levels in politics for half a century, I have seen the influence of money on politicians. Some outright prostitute themselves to big contributors, but more often it is more a matter of buying access and influence. Major contributors will have their phone calls answered and their views considered by just about any politician. When I worked as a political appointee in Governor Jim Martin's administration, I was well aware that the governor's political consultant, Brad Hayes, kept a printout on his desk of all of Governor Martin's contributors that he looked at any time someone contacted him about pushing a proposal or a person. He also kept a printout of all the people who contributed to Martin's opponents. Brad drove to Raleigh once a week to work on policy and personnel and getting his support assured that something or somebody would get consideration. At the state level there were lots of "heavy hitter" contributors so the influence this brought was very spread out. With a local race, however, a single heavy hitter in a campaign can have a very outsized influence on the politician contributed to if they are elected. One must always look at the agendas of such major contributors because they would not have given that money if they did not think the politicians would adhere to that agenda.

So, in a race like our local sheriff's race, one outsized contributor is a concern, and when they are tied to other political forces so will be the politician they contribute to. The very strong willed might resist that influence, but many would not. If that contributor were also a "bundler", someone who also brought in contributions from others, their influence would be even heavier. This is absolutely NOT a good situation for Beaufort County.

Perry's role in forcing the NC Green New Deal down our throats is reason enough to throw the bum out, but his pushing the Obamacare Medicaid expansion is almost as bad. With "Republicans" like Jim Perry, who even needs Democrats? I like the idea of expressing my disgust with Perry by writing in Bill Cook, who was always dependable in voting for the taxpayers, and wish I had heard about it before I voted.

He is one of many unopposed that I will not vote for. Even though we will be in his district I don't remember him being on the primary ballot for this area, was he running unopposed then also?

There has always been the Tom Boy phase with some girls, for example. We probably all knew some of them growing up. They liked to do things boys did, but did not consider themselves boys. When they reached puberty, they became feminine girls. These days, the schools would probably be pushing them to call themselves "transgender", use other pronouns and names, and wrecking their futures.

The school board memver we are going to have to watch is Terry Williams. He could be a RINO or a patriot on the new school board. He seems to think the right way on a lot of things, but the question is, does he have the courage to stand up to the school bureaucracy or will he be a go along, get along politician.

Sunak is only getting started on his dictatorship. Wonder what is next that will harm the peons and help destroy the UK.

This transgender rubbish is going on right in our Beaufort County schools with a recent report of a teenager "transitioning" to another gender being allowed to speak at Washington High School to promote this among students. We need to elect the conservative slate running for school board to put a stop to this nonsense. They have a great radio ad out.
