Keith has always struck me as a smart guy and he has a great voting record in Raleigh. It surprises me that Cheeseman could get away with using him this way.

This election is the latest rejection of climate alarmism. The winning party made opposition to EU climate policy one of its two top issues, pointing to the need for cheaper energy. For one of its allies, that new "Motorist" Party, it was THE top issue. Even the party that will be the largest opposition party, its leading elder statesmen, former president and prime minister Dr. Vaclav Klaus, is a longtime vocal opponent of climate alarmism and has even written books in opposition to it.

Adam O'Neal believes that local governments should operate in a conservative manner; Adam takes the initiative to help elect sworn conservative candidates, many are proven conservatives, not the frauds offered protection by the Beaufort County GOP; and Adam does not hate Commissioner Hood Richardson.

Somewhere in that proposition offered of political opposites fighting, there are those individuals that DO NOT understand Adam O'Neal (and others like Adam); his methods; nor his pledge to Conservative governing, whereas many of these same people also do not particularly like Hood Richardson.

That is just the way it has been in Beaufort County since Democrats started to switch to the Republican Party to run for elected office, and then govern, once elected, as full fledged Democrats, all with the fulsome support of the Beaufort County GOP.

Befuddled: Those are great questions. Considering how some don't do their homework, I be willing to "bet a mark" that Kidwell didn't call Miss Davis to get he skinny on what went down; his "people" skills are extremely lacking and he doesn't handle pressure well.

From my view, it would serve Miss Davis no purpose to contact Kidwell. He'd be made a bigger example of, in the public eye, if he fell on his own sword and continually drove it in deeper. Has he issued an apology for his diarrhea of the mouth?....he hasn't, to my knowledge.

What happened here was a botched hitjob, by the GOP, against a conservative lady who has put heat on the school board's ass......a very stupid and counterproductive move to the development of Trump-era Conservatism within the GOP.

Garris needs to resign or make a public apology to Miss Davis.... personally. If she doesn't handle this properly, her political ambitions may be short-lived if common sense voters put two and two together.

Kidwell ..same.

What I want to know is this: Before Keith Kidwell publicly announced that Stacey Davis should resign, did he (as a leader in NC) call her and ask for her side of the story?
Also, I would like to know if Stacey has taken it upon herself to contact Rep Kidwell and tell him her personal side of the story. In the spirit of Charlie Kirk, people should talk to each other.
I have found that far toooooooo many people make far tooooooo many assumptions.
By the way, the link to the Mayoral Forum held at Washington High is at this youtube link: www.youtube.com

Concerned Taxpayer: Ché gives the appearance of being the mind of the operation BUT he isn't; he's a decoy.

Donnie Sadler and Randy Walker are running the school board for the County Manager. I can't prove it but I know it. People like Kidwell and Garris (however you spell her last name) are trying to sell their political careers by engaging in political diarrhea; it's a stupid move.

There is a County Cabal here and they know that their time is running out.

It sounds like the federal District Judge was very thorough and meticulous in his ruling in setting out facts and reasoning. If appealed, this case would go to the very left leaning Fourth Circuit in Richmond, and if so may need a final trip to the SCOTUS.

As a college student, I moved to Los Angeles in the late 60s. I quickly learned that nearly everyone was smoking Marijuana, but no other drugs. It was almost impossible to avoid it because people would pass it to you. If you refused, they looked at you like you must be some kind of a nutjob or worse, a narc. But it wasnt fun to me. I didnt see the reward that they did.

Furthermore, I was working really hard in college to make myself smart, but found that the weed was making me dumb. One day I said to myself: "Self, one of these two things must go." I chose my studies over weed.
But I want to say to Concerned Citizen, even if historically Marijuana was a health benefit, it NO LONGER is because the producers have altered it chemically. What you buy today, no longer is, what it was. Just MHO.
AND, to add to my humble opinion: I think "drugs" is what is causing all the psychosis in the population.
But you do you.

Marijuana is a narcotic that can, in some fools, steal little pieces of their once good spirits until not much is left but a web of lost memories, and many opportunities.

What is the difference between RINO Michael Whatley and a Democrat? Not much that I can see

Right you are Buzz. It is the Democratic Socialist Governor's, Josh Stein's, sole responsibility to enforce the laws of this state.
