It is not hard to be taken in by the official sounding language of elitists. So educated, so smart, so clear that they think of themselves first, since they are so entitled to rule and reign and at the same time they don’t do the job they were hired to do.

Every since Nutrien crossed the street and found more ore, the continuation of the destruction of aurora continues. Only building with ay taxes going to it is the school, post office, and liqour store. The town isn't good enough for a bank, grocery store, drs office, and now any school, but there's a person in that liqour store everyday selling shot bottles of liqour to the community. The county wants aurora to be gone and if I was a resident of that town I'd be heartbroken. No taxes are going towards helping them. Its a travesty.

I’m looking for unbiased information about our government and community matters. This sounds like a political rally cry. Please consider joining the journalism movement to stop being partisan and continuing the civil divide. This is why newspapers and corporate media is drying up. We the people are in a crisis of confidence in our representatives and government services that help the people without millions or billions of dollars. We still count and right now we need Responsible Journalism and not hate divisive rhetoric.

Illegal immigrants in the United States have the right to due process, meaning they cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property without fair legal proceedings. This right is guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. While the extent of due process protections may vary depending on the circumstances, all individuals, regardless of their immigration status, are entitled to some form of fair legal procedures.

Fifth Amendment:

This amendment states that "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law".

Fourteenth Amendment:

This amendment uses the Due Process Clause, which describes the legal obligation of all state governments to provide equal protection of the laws to all persons, regardless of their immigration status.

Happy Birthday Hood. It’s always interesting to me that people think because you vote to lower taxes, you are automatically a good steward. Going all the way to Washington DC on the taxpayers dime is such an accomplishment. Kudos. It’s also quite interesting that the employees are held to a strict per dime that doesn’t even cover meals while ALL commissioners eat high on the hog. Them $40 breakfasts and $50 dinners on the taxpayers dime isn’t being a good steward. It’s giving “do as I say, not as I do”. It’s amazing what a public information request reveals.

The 2025 BC GOP Plan of Organization enacted March 22, 2025 calls for a minimum of six Executive Committee meetings per year.

This BC GOP 2025 Plan of Organization is not to be confused with the State DRAFT plan of 2025, which was not approved at the 2025 state convention or the DRAFT 2026 state plan that will be presented at the June 13, 2026 state convention.

(commented on November 6th, 2025 @ 8:28 am)
John Steed,
It is easy to see how the GOP elites sway the machinations of the GOP. They rig the state party conventions in many ways to prevent the grassroot republicans from having any influence over the outcomes. The Plan of Organization is ignored or overridden by parliamentary procedures; attendees are shutdown from speaking by ruling comments or motions from the floor ruled out of order, and counting votes for chairman and other officers from members not in attendance.
Participates are discouraged from attending by charging exorbitant fees to attend the many functions they have during the three days. When you add the three nights hotel expenses and travel, it can easily cost $800 to attend and participate in all the functions.
Why attend if your vote is going to count even though you are not in attendance?

(commented on October 5th, 2025 @ 9:02 am)
The protestations coming from those who perceive powers they do not have is also illustrated when it comes to the Beaufort County Republican Party Plan of Organization (PoO). When it suits there position, they drive it hard. When the PoO does not comport with there desires, it is ignored or there are efforts to change it to meet their desires. That desire is total control of the electoral process, be it in local, state, or federal elections. Should an undesirable slip by, the strategy then moves to use every thing that elected official does or says as a cudgel to drive them from the political stage. Challenges to the status quo will not be tolerated.

Mr. Fucito you seem to have spent a lot of effort explaining why things talked about in a recess dont go into a set of minutes. That all seems logical. What I dont see you explaining is why there was so much effort involved to avoid a meeting or reconvening one. Seems like that WOULD require minutes and nobody wanted the ouster of Unca Hood and the other two ladies to be on record much less that the police were called. If something isnt rotten enough to pass the smell test there usually isnt a need to try to keep it in the dark.

(commented on June 19th, 2025 @ 3:54 pm)
Giving the Army a grand 250th birthday celebration was the right move. It is important to remind the people of this nation (99% who have not served themselves since the creation of the all volunteer military) what it takes to give us the freedoms we enjoy. This is more important given all of the things happening with China, Iran, Russia, North Korea and more. Hegseth served low enough in the ranks not to be corrupted by the bureaucratic and political issues that have been detrimental to the military over the past 20-30 years. His leadership and vision to bring back the focus on lethality and the warrior ethos within our armed forces is vital and necessary. The sharp increase in recruitment since Trump was reelected is a clear demonstration that the people who serve and protect America, many who come from multiple generations of veterans, didnt agree with the Biden/Obama eras of DEI and mismanagement in DoD.

(commented on June 19th, 2025 @ 2:55 pm)
Wasn't our nation started because We the People opposed an actual King? Were we not opposed to taxation without representation? Did we not fight back when those who would oppress us came for our firearms, the AR-15s of the day, at Lexington and Concord? Don't our founding documents lay out a limited federal government so that the sovereign states could represent their people according to what they believed best? People shouldn't fear their government, governments should fear their people. They do work for us after all, not the other way around. Its sad to many people don't realize this or remember it. Its a travesty the bureaucrats and seemingly more often the judiciary don't understand this either.

We city of Washington residents just can't catch a break when it comes to governing with some modicum of good sense. We need the new board majority to stick together and make a stand, a stand that even Government Man could be proud of.

DO NOT hurry yourselves into making an egregiously stupid decision!

(commented on March 5th, 2026 @ 8:39 am)
I am truly sorry that good Conservative Republican candidates like: Steve Rader (who I voted for), and Travis Martin (who I also voted for after I absolutely knew Commissioner Deatherage would make it through the primary) did not win their rightful places to be our nominees for the governing seats that they aspired to seek. I hate the thought of limiting unaffiliated voters in our primaries, but, if the local GOP cannot get its act together, and start functioning as real Republicans, closing the primary only to Republicans might have to be the case here in Beaufort County.

On the bright side, I am thankful that Conservative Candidate Martin is now working with Commissioner Deatherage on his campaign in the general election. I have always voted for Stan since I learned of his true Conservative values and voting record (after moving here from a blue state), but I just could not resist voting for Mr. Martin to help Stan and Mr. Richardson gain a majority of real Republicans on that board, where the fake Republicans, Frankie Waters and Randy Walker, are NO different from the the Leftists. They are truly frauds, and the Beaufort County GOP should have done something about them years ago.

Now, because of Republican frauds like Randy Walker and Frankie Waters we can't elect real Republicans here in Beaufort County, and I hear they were behind it along with that sorry excuse of local political party, the Beaufort County GOP taking up space in replace of a real Republican local party that could do some good.

Learning about Don Brown's candidacy has given me hope that a real conservative, Mr. Brown, could best serve North Carolina's people in North Carolina.

Candidate Don Brown certainly has my vote, and the vote of my wife as well, because my lovely wife learned so much from this Table Talk show.

Crossroads Rhode Island is not a “liberal organization;” it is an organization that provides shelter, affordable housing, job training, and more to over 4000 people each year including children, the elderly, veterans, and domestic violence victims who would be homeless without their services. McConnells involvement with the organization has never been a secret, it’s a pretty public position. I’m not sure why someone from the Carolinas feels the need to weigh in on something you obviously know nothing about. Aren’t homeless Americans people you pretend to care about? Or is that only when it suits you? Maybe try running a spell check on your website if you want to be taken seriously. Also, no need to double space after sentences anymore, it’s not the 1950s and you’re not writing on a typewriter anymore, boomer.

John, the reason private schools and/or charter schools can provide an education at a lower cost per student is because they do not have the same regulations. They do not have to provide free lunch like Beaufort County Public schools do. Their teachers also do not need to be certified, which is scary. I know many students who came out of PCA to go into college having to take college prep courses because they were not prepared by the private school to enter into college. Is that all, no. But I know many. Also, I would argue that private schools are at a higher cost per student. They pay 10,000+ in tuition, have to pay for books, pay for lunch, pay for transportation, and then the school has fundraisers that you have to raise a certain amount or pay out of pocket more. Also, you have to commit to volunteer your time to work for them for events or pay your way out of volunteering. It is all a money racket.

(commented on June 27th, 2025 @ 8:47 am)
John, their sales and services (pay as you use) accounts for 1.8 million. property taxes account for 7.5 million. Think about how much more taxes would have to be raised to increase the ad valorem tax revenue by 1.8 million. That's not minor. I agree with everyone up here that the taxes are outrageous, the admin charge from enterprise funds is insane, and storm water fees, trash pickup fees, and other charges can be a way to "tax" the property owner more. But not all governmental revenues are taxes.

(commented on June 26th, 2025 @ 1:27 pm)
Neutral and the City is above the County tax rate. The county stayed flat in a reval year while the city imposed an 11.5 cent increase while stating in articles they decreased the rate.

Charles Hickman is standing up for Snowden and has. He and Stacey Davis understand the impact this closing will cause on the student’s home life, extra curricular activities, the town and the trickle effect to the county. The school has worked diligently to raise their scores, has had leaky roofs and the faculty and staff has been bullied and neglected. Charles Hickman has brought this to the boards attention several times with no support. Why isn’t anyone stepping up? From what I understand there was a video the children made on YouTube. Stacey Davis was disheartened it was not shown during the community’s visit. Please post it for people to see. After hearing the Aurora’s mayor’s response and watching Cheeseman shutting down 3 schools while the board gave him control of the budget a few years ago it’s time someone stands with Mr. Hickman and start investigating what’s really happening. What about teacher class ratios after these schools close?
Has Garrison been planted to quiet CH?
