Republicans have not had real control of the county commission in a long time due to poseurs masquerading as "Republicans". These collaborators have handed over real control to the admitted Democrats for years. Heck, Frankie Waters even supported and contributed to the Democrat nominee for Sheriff in the last election. He is about as much of a Republican as Kamala Harris is. Randy Walker started out in the middle between the real Republicans and the phonies, but he is now firmly in collaborator camp.

What BP does not seem to grasp is that our county commission has been controlled by a trans-partisan alliance for decades that is as unnatural as a transsexual. Real Republicans like Richardson, Deatherage, and Dunn are shunted to the side. Nominal leadership is in fake Republicans, sometimes called RINOs or Undocumented Democrats or Biden Republicans or Democrats in Drag, but they rely on actual Democrats for their majority, and therefore are essentially controlled by the actual Democrats.

The two "tranny" fake Republicans propping up the current liberal trans-partisan coalition are Frankie Waters and Randy Walker. Both are former Democrats, whose "switch" to Republican was only a facade. Replacing Waters with a real Republican in the 2026 primary wil finally collapse this trans-partisan nightmare

You say everything to explain the problem 28 years as a commissioner and the county population has gone down. You have done nothing in 28 years nothing not one achievement.

Yes, Fat Alvin needs to experience the Rule of Law as well, the same "Rule of Law" that the Democratic Socialists hypocritically opine about far too often.

I find it hilarious that some are against anything involving "The Devil's Lettuce" but have no issue with keeping alcohol readily available... especially at convience stores 24/7.

I'd be more worried about one of these kids getting drunk, getting behind the wheel and killing someone than I would be about them having a Martian cigarette and commiting a serious crime.

I'm in favor of legalizing natural marijuana and using the generated tax revenue on infrastructure and education. I'm not in favor of the legalization of synthetic marijuana, the artificial lab-grown crap that the kids are buying at the Arab store.

I'd much rather people get a hold of the old school farm grown flower, legally, than get the modern crap grown by the government.THAT's the stuff that makes people stupid.

Cannabis (full strength THC plant extract) Indica and Cannabis Sativa medicines were sold over the counter, even in Beaufort County, and in the Sears Catalog, back in the day, before prohibition.

Van Zant: You bring up several interesting points that I would recommend folks to think long and hard about. Ain't none of it a crackpot "conspiracy theory"; it's called: "common sense".

From what my intuition and situational awareness skills are telling me, Cheeseman's consolidation "pump and dump" plan could easily go to hell in a handbasket if county communities started approaching commissioners with proposals to secure their future...where both sides benefit.

I could see a funny hypothetical scenario where even guys like Ol' Unca Frankie would champion (in his olde English accent), under the Republican/NASCAR Democrat banner, "Charter Schools for the soundside and Edgewater parts of the county". If he holds course, folks are liable to start talking crap over'air at the fire department if they see him out there.

Cheeseman is past the point of no return. I think Rader and Hickman knows this. If the public opinion were to shift on Cheeseman, I have a good idea about what'd happen

DEI is part of the Democrat Party scheme of Identity Politics, which attempts to divide America instead of uniting us. It reminds me of a funny video: "DWI: Driving While Italian.": www.youtube.com

We really need to get these abusive insurrectionist Biden and Obama judges removed from office. They have made our federal courts a cesspool of political scandal.

Of course, we have another problem in the Senate Democrats stalling Trump's judicial appointments. Republicans did not do that systematically to Biden or Obama judicial appointees. That RINO idiot Thune should have cancelled the Senate's August months long recess to deal with it, but the stupid RINO fool did not. Thune needs to be replaced by someone with some backbone.

The old Bear Grass public school was a victim of public school consolidation, but now as a charter school it is thriving and offering the best education in Martin County. If Cheeseman is arrogant enough to go after Bath school, I am absolutely certain the same would happen there. It would serve Chesseman right if it happened at Snowden.
