“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”

Does The U.S. 'Make Poverty More Comfortable?'

There was another video that went viral a few months ago of a 13 year old Scottish girl pulling out a knife and a hatchet to defend herself and her 11 year old sister from a pack of illegal alien migrants who were sexually harrassing them in the middle of the day in the middle of a city in Scotland. The police arrested the 13 year old girl, not the illegal alien sexual harassers.

The Democrats and their media mouthpieces will whine about it, but these Biden officials who abused power to use what the Soviets called "the power ministries" politically against Republicans need to be indicted, prosecuted, and jailed. Our system is not supposed to work that way and this lawfare monster they have created needs to be turned back on them.

The best term I have heard for these longtime liberal Democrats who switched to Republican on paper to pull the wool over voters eyes like Waters and Walker is "Undocumented Democrats" although the term "Democrats in Drag" also resonates.

Stan: People are telling me that the local Republican leadership calls on the Imposter Republican officeholders to give reports while ignoring the other officeholders as much as possible. What you are saying about the BC GOP gets a lot of verification by others in those meetings.

Two things:
1. In a political sense they are all young, and will need some help in managing themselves as public servants, so listening to the more knowledgeable people is most important. 2. My bionic hip is doing great! I was released from PT early due to the success of my consistent, though limited, exercise regime. It appears that I am a minor success story in recovery.

But, but Stan you like everybody.
And... are they really young or just young compared to you? The only people I consider young are those still under 30. And, if they are over 30...well you know what they say, "Dont trust anyone over 30." Of course I'll be voting for you Stan, bad hip and all.

The illegal immigration problem in Europe is worse than in America. In some countries, 20 percent of their population are illegal aliens. Crime from illegal aliens is rampant, and most of them are on welfare instead of working. It is the eastern European countries that have held the line, and now the EU wants to force these freeloaders on them, too.

Two things here Washingtonian:
1. These are young candidates, some are younger than others; some are wiser than others. Now here is my one immediate concern: I am very interested, going forward, which of these elected people, here in Beaufort County, will listen to me; all because of just this one reality - I know more, and will know more about how to best govern in their respective offices than they do now, and for some time to come; and, these young elected people need to have the initial wisdom to recognize that truth immediately. 2. Washington: When you vote for me in the 2026 election for Beaufort County Commissioner, you have my promise that I will act in a manner to achieve what I believe to be absolutely best, on all big issues here in Beaufort County, and I will explain why I did so here on ENC NOW.

Stan, seems we are at that point again in local elections where we must choose...NOT the best candidate, but the lessor or the evils.
Seems that they don't want to work for our vote. When a candidate ignores you while they are a candidate, they damn sure will ignore you once elected.

Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), who lost to the politically ignorant and morally corrupt Adam Schiff in the Democratic Socialists' US Senate primary, is a demanding woman. By the look of her in this interview with a friendly interviewer provided by the the Liberal Media, the taciturn and virulent Porter demands easier and more politically friendly questions, just as she would demand copious quantities of completely unnecessary food at every meal, when less victuals might be the better option for her plus sized appearance.
Save the elected Republicans, California is becoming well known for creating Clown Car Class politicians at every level of government, which is the single reason why California is a failed one-party state.

It has now come out that California has issued 62,000 CDL truck driver licenses to illegal aliens. This is making our highways unsafe. It has also come out that the illegal aliens truck driver with a CA CDL that earlier killed 3 in Florida had failed his CDL exam 19 times in 2 months, failed his English proficiency test, and failed his airbrakes knowledge test. Yet, the sanctuary state of California gave him a CDL to get on the roads of our country in an 18 wheeler.

Commented on NC Senate advances new congressional mapEven here in North Carolina, when the Democratic Socialists were in charge, they ran some of the craziest looking districts (remember the I85 Congressional District), and now that we have entered the times of a Post Racist America, where the only racists left are mostly in the Democratic Socialist party, it is time to draw districts which better represent THe People, with as many whole counties as is possible.

All City Council candidates that were non incumbents were invited twice. The first go-round we had three; the second go-round we felt that we did not have enough interest to do the second show, which made rethink small elections like the City of Washington, which is small in number of voters and small in the real size and necessity of that government.
Having said all of this, that one segment has had many thousands of views, so, it should be a benefit to the first participants. As a politician for so many winning elections, I never missed, and will never the opportunity to speak before any group of people, especially opportunities within a medium with as many ears and eyes as encnow.com provides.

Truck driving jobs are well paid and are sought by Americans. These are absolutely not "jobs Americans won't do". What is happening is that trucking companies are cutting costs by putting unqualified illegal aliens behind the wheel and endangering American motorists. These companies which do that should be heavily fined and probably prosecuted as well.

I am happy that we are seeing some conservative leadership on the school board, and I am also happy that the whole board seems to now be joining in. I wonder how this gender identity stuff ever got in there to begin with. Our county school board has had a nominal Republican majority. Were people just not paying attention?

Having done some research, I doubt there are many people around that know more about Title IX than Mr. Rader and Mr. Hickman. Glad the board followed their lead on this matter.

From what I am told, conservatives on the board made use of identified violations of President Trump's EO to move to eliminate the gender identity and sexual orientation provisions. The new policy that bans DEI was written and proposed by Board member Steve Rader, seconded by member Charles Hickman, and ended up passing unanimously.

The Democrats always tell us that this never happens, but clearly it does. Illegal aliens who illegally register to vote should be up there with the criminals as priorities for deportation.
